The buffer spring 503 of the present invention is very important to reduce the collision damage of the components and improve the life of the mechanical clamping device 200, without the damping spring 503, the connection between the parts of the invention is also rigid, when a material with a relatively large size is clamped, a rigid collision is generated, but after the buffer spring 503 is provided, when materials with overlarge size or overlarge hardness and exceeding a set value are clamped, rigid collision among the parts such as the ejector rod 40, the connecting block 501, the guide rod 502 and the like can not be generated, this is because, when the swing arm 301 is clamped, the link block 501 elastically deforms the buffer spring 503, while the swing arm 301 and the slider 20 do not move (the elastic band of the buffer spring 503 does not move the swing arm 301 to clamp the material continuously), so that the rigid connection can be converted into the flexible connection of the buffer spring 503, and the problem of part loss caused by rigid collision is avoided.
Further, the number of the guide rods 502 is more than two, and the buffer spring 503 is respectively arranged on each guide rod 502 in a penetrating manner, so that the multi-point stress of the sliding block 20 can be ensured, and the sliding block 20 can be kept to move smoothly if the positions are arranged reasonably.
Further, the buffer spring 503 is mounted on the guide rod 502 in a penetrating manner, and a pre-tightening force is applied to the slider 20 and the connecting block 501 by the buffer spring 503 (if a compression spring is adopted as the case may be, the lower end of the guide rod 502 is connected with the limit block 504 in a threaded manner, the limit block 504 is located below the connecting block 501, and the pre-tightening force of the buffer spring 503 can be adjusted by screwing the limit block 504, if an extension spring is adopted, the guide rod 502 is connected with the limit block 504 in a threaded manner, the limit block 504 is located above the connecting block 501, and the pre-tightening force of the buffer spring 503 can be adjusted by screwing the limit block 504), so that the pre-tightening force of the buffer spring 503 is applied to the slider 20 and the connecting block 501, and the push rod 40 can make the slider 20.
Further, the sliding block 20 comprises a sliding block body 201 and a wear-resistant part 202 arranged on the side surface of the sliding block body 201, the wear-resistant part 202 is in contact with the guide surface, and the arrangement of the wear-resistant part 202 can effectively prolong the service life of the sliding block 20.
According to the invention, the ejector rod 40 drives the sliding block 20 to move up and down (the ejector rod 40 can be driven by various pushing structures), and the guide chute 203 on the sliding block 20 is matched with the sliding pin shaft 303 on the swinging arm 301 to drive the swinging arm 301 to swing, so that the two swinging arms 301 can clamp or release materials, the structure and the matching relation are simple, the selection mode of the power unit for driving the ejector rod 40 to move up and down is flexible, and the buffer spring 503 is arranged between the sliding block 20 and the connecting block 501, so that rigid connection can be converted into flexible connection, and the parts are prevented from being damaged due to rigid collision.

the clamping portion 3011 is provided with a pin 604 on the clamping surface, the material clamping section 602 is provided with a through hole 605 at a position corresponding to the pin 604, and the pin 604 passes through the through hole 605, so that the pin 604 can pierce the inside of the material during the clamping process, and the material is not easy to slip out.
Further, the material ejecting section 603 is arranged at one end of the clamping portion 3011 close to the clamp base, and the included angle between the material ejecting section 603 and the clamping surface is an obtuse angle, so that the material can extrude the material ejecting section 603 more easily, and the material ejecting section 603 can be elastically deformed quickly.
Further, the spring 60 is detachably connected to the clamping portion 3011, so that the spring 60 can be replaced conveniently.
When the crayfish is processed, the crayfish can be placed on the clamping device 200, the two swing arms 301 are matched to clamp the crayfish, and in the clamping process, the contact pins 604 can pierce the shells of the crayfish and pierce the bodies of the crayfish, so that the crayfish is preliminarily fixed, and the crayfish is not easy to slip out in the process that the two swing arms 301 are continuously clamped; and the crayfish extrudes the clamping section 602 and the elastic section 603 in the clamping process, so that the clamping section 602 and the elastic section 603 are elastically deformed, after the processing is finished, the clamping device 200 moves to an inverted state, the crayfish is loosened by the two swing arms 301, the clamping section 602 and the elastic section 603 apply elasticity to enable the crayfish to be automatically ejected, and therefore the clamping process is relatively reliable in fixing and ejecting the crayfish.
After the two clamping devices 200 respectively clamp the shrimp body and the shrimp tail of the crayfish, the horizontal moving shaft 80 can drive the two clamping devices 200 to be away from each other, the automatic separation of the shrimp body and the shrimp tail can be realized in the process of being away from, the separation is convenient, then the two clamping devices 200 are close to each other, the crayfish is placed in the clamping devices, and then the separation is performed, so that the crayfish body and the shrimp tail can be quickly separated.
According to the invention, the chain plate 13 drives the clamping device 200 to circularly move, so that the clamping device 200 can automatically clamp and release crayfish, and the body and tail of the crayfish are separated, the whole device only has one power unit for driving the chain of the chain transmission mechanism to rotate, the actions of other parts are all linked in a full mechanical structure, the device is simple to use and maintain, and the stability is high. The equipment solves the problem that the labor force is too intensive in the shrimp head and shrimp tail separation process in the shrimp food processing process, and can greatly promote the automatic process of the shrimp food processing industry
