The invention discloses a clamping and fixing mechanism of an overlocking
machine, which comprises a sliding rail erected on a
machine table, a mounting base plate is arranged on the sliding rail in a sliding manner, a left clamping arm and a right clamping arm are arranged on the mounting base plate, a first longitudinal sliding rail and a first
telescopic cylinder are arranged on the mounting base plate between the left clamping arm and the right clamping arm, and a second longitudinal sliding rail and a second
telescopic cylinder are arranged on the mounting base plate between the left clamping arm and the right clamping arm. A positioning pressing plate is installed at the lower end of a sliding block of the first longitudinal sliding rail. After the pillow is fixed left and right through the left clamping arm and the right clamping arm, the positioning pressing plate is controlled by the first
telescopic cylinder to press the side edge, to be sealed, of the pillow, the pillow is prevented from loosening, and meanwhile the side edge, to be sealed, of the pillow is in a flat state; in addition, a
laser calibration device located above the auxiliary clamping mechanism is arranged on the rear side of the sliding rail. A
laser guide line emitted by the
laser calibration device is projected on the
workbench below, so that an employee can be guided to find an accurate pillow fixing position, the requirement on the operation proficiency of the employee is reduced, and the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent sealing and binding-off can be improved.
