[0017] Reference Figure 1-4One specific embodiment of the present invention includes a cylindrical base 1. The sidewall of the cylindrical base 1 has an opening 2 and several threaded through holes 3. Several limiting blocks 4 are installed on the inner sidewall of the cylindrical base 1. Each limiting block 4 has at least one threaded connection hole 5. A bolt 6 passes through the threaded through hole 3 and connects to the threaded connection hole 5, fixing the limiting block 4 to the cylindrical base 1. An installation groove 7 communicating with the threaded connection hole 5 is provided on the contact surface between the limiting block 4 and the workpiece. The installation groove 7 is vertically oriented, and an elastic limiting element 8 is slidably installed within the installation groove 7. The bottom surface of the limiting member 8 is connected to the mounting groove 7 by a first spring 9. The elastic limiting member 8 is in contact with the bolt 6. The top surface of the cylindrical base 1 is provided with an annular slide rail 10. The semi-circular top cover 11 is installed on the annular slide rail 10. The semi-circular top cover 11 has several through grooves 12 arranged radially. The outer end of the through groove 12 is connected to the threaded adjustment hole 13. The slider 14 is slidably installed in the through groove 12. The slider 14 is threadedly connected to the first adjusting rod 15. The first adjusting rod 15 is set vertically. The outer end of the slider 14 is movably engaged with the second adjusting rod 16. The second adjusting rod 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded adjustment hole 13. The elastic limiting component 8 includes a rigid main body 17 slidably installed in the mounting groove 7. The rigid main body 17 has a through hole 18 for insertion and engagement with a bolt 6. A slot 19 is provided on the outer wall of the rigid main body 17. An elastic metal sheet 20 is slidably inserted into the slot 19, covering the outside of the through hole 18. A connecting rod 22 is connected to the through hole 18 via a second spring 21. Several elastic supports 23 are annularly connected to one end of the connecting rod 22 facing the elastic metal sheet 20. The elastic supports 23 are arranged in a ring, with the end of each elastic support facing the outside of the through hole 18 contacting the elastic metal sheet 20. A cover plate 24 is slidably installed on the top of the rigid main body 17. When the cover plate 24 does not cover the slot 19, rotating the first adjusting rod 15 downwards presses it against the elastic metal sheet 20. When the cover plate 24 covers the slot 19, rotating the first adjusting rod 15 downwards presses it against the cover plate 24. The elastic metal sheet 20 has two first support parts 25 on its top, which are coplanar and inclined upwards. A second support part 26 is provided between the two first support parts 25, which is inclined downwards. The semi-circular top cover 11 has several cylinder mounting slots 27. Several rubber sheets 28 are fixed on the contact surface between the limiting block 4 and the workpiece.

[0018] The method of using this invention is as follows: Select a suitable limiting block 4 according to the part to be processed and install it inside the cylindrical base 1. Rotate the bolt 6 to clamp the limiting block 4 onto the part. If the processing surface of the part is the top surface, rotate the semi-circular top cover 11 to a position that does not affect processing. If the processing surface of the part is the side surface, align the processing surface with the opening 2 when clamping the part. If a stronger longitudinal clamping force is required, install a hydraulic cylinder on the hydraulic cylinder mounting slot 27 and select the clamping position by rotating the semi-circular top cover 11 to achieve good longitudinal clamping of the part. By pressing the elastic limiting member 8 with the bolt 6, the elastic deformation of the elastic metal sheet 20 can be used to perform secondary clamping and fixing of the part at the clamping location. Specifically, bolt 6 drives connecting rod 22 to move outward. As connecting rod 22 moves outward, the support area of ​​elastic bracket 23 for elastic metal sheet 20 gradually expands. Simultaneously, by controlling the longitudinal position of elastic limiting member 8 through first adjusting rod 15, flexible control can be achieved in three dimensions: deformation, deformation area, and clamping position of elastic metal sheet 20. Furthermore, the first adjusting rod 15 can be used to directly press down on elastic metal sheet 20, achieving precise adjustment of its deformation. The first support portion 25 and the second support portion 26 at the top of elastic metal sheet 20 improve the uniformity of deformation when subjected to downward pressure from the first adjusting rod 15. Rubber sheet 28 is used to improve the clamping stability between limiting block 4 and the workpiece, while also protecting the workpiece clamping surface.
