[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. The present invention provides a mechanical clamping device comprising a working platform, a base, a drive assembly, and multiple clamping mechanisms. The base is a barrel-shaped structure with an open top. The working platform is located at the top opening of the base. The drive assembly is located inside the base and includes a turbine and a worm gear. The worm gear is rotatably located inside the bottom end of the base. The turbine includes a disc section and a meshing section. A groove is formed on the top end face of the disc section. The distance from the groove to the center of the disc section gradually increases from one end to the other. The bottom end of the disc section is fixedly connected to the top end of the meshing section. The outer wall of the meshing section meshes with the middle outer wall of the worm gear. Multiple clamping mechanisms are evenly arranged around the circumference of the top opening of the base. Each clamping mechanism includes an L-shaped pressure block, a return spring, and a push rod. The L-shaped pressure block includes a pressure block and a vertical block. One end of the pressure block is located above the working platform, and the other end of the pressure block is vertically connected to the top of the vertical block. The middle part of the vertical block is movably connected to the top outer wall of the base via a pin. The bottom of the vertical block is connected via... The return spring is connected to the outer wall of the middle part of the base. One end of the push rod is equipped with a slider that can slide along the inclined groove. The other end of the push rod extends from the outlet on the bottom side wall of the base to the part on the vertical block located between the pin and the return spring. When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece, the workpiece is first placed on the work platform, and then the worm gear is rotated clockwise. The worm gear drives the turbine to rotate, and the turbine rotation drives the slider to slide from one end of the groove near the center of the disc section to the other end of the groove. At the same time, the push rod extends and abuts against the part on the vertical block located between the pin and the return spring, pushing the bottom of the vertical block to rise. The pressure block located at the top of the vertical block presses down tightly on the workpiece. This design uses the turbine and worm gear to drive the pressure blocks in multiple clamping mechanisms to press the workpiece tightly at the same time, resulting in high consistency in the clamping process and simple and fast clamping operation. After processing, the worm gear is rotated counterclockwise, the push rod retracts, the bottom of the vertical block is reset under the action of the return spring, the pressure block is lifted, and the processed workpiece can be removed. Therefore, this invention realizes automatic and fast workpiece clamping, with simple operation and high clamping efficiency and consistency.

[0018] 2. In the mechanical clamping device of the present invention, a plurality of first bolt holes are axially formed around the top opening of the base, and a plurality of first mounting grooves are formed around the bottom of the working platform. A leveling bolt is installed inside the first mounting groove, with the top of the head of the leveling bolt contacting the inner wall of the top of the first mounting groove. The shank of the leveling bolt is threadedly connected to the first bolt hole. This design achieves leveling of the working platform by adjusting the screw depth of the leveling bolt. A plurality of second bolt holes are axially formed around the top opening of the base, spaced apart from the first bolt holes. A plurality of second mounting grooves are formed around the top of the working platform, spaced apart from the first mounting grooves. A fixing bolt is installed inside the second mounting groove, with the bottom of the head of the fixing bolt contacting the inner wall of the bottom of the second mounting groove. The shank of the fixing bolt passes through a third bolt hole at the bottom of the second mounting groove and is threadedly connected to the second bolt hole. This design achieves good clamping accuracy by fixing the leveled working platform with the fixing bolts. Therefore, the present invention achieves leveling of the working platform and fixation after leveling, with good clamping accuracy.

[0019] 3. The mechanical clamping device of the present invention also includes multiple positioning screws. Multiple supports are arranged around the top of the work platform, with the supports spaced apart from the L-shaped pressure blocks. The shank of the positioning screw passes through a fourth threaded hole in the support and abuts against the side wall of the workpiece placed on the work platform. An adjusting spring is fitted onto the shank of the positioning screw, with both ends of the adjusting spring connected to the head of the positioning screw and one side of the support, respectively. This design achieves workpiece positioning through positioning screws spaced apart from the L-shaped pressure blocks. Multiple dovetail grooves are formed around the top of the work platform, with an arc-shaped structure. The outer wall of the bottom end of the support mates with the inner wall of the dovetail groove, allowing the support to slide along the dovetail groove. This design allows for easy adjustment of irregularly shaped parts by sliding the support along the dovetail groove to the appropriate position before positioning the workpiece using the positioning screws, resulting in high versatility. Therefore, the present invention can achieve workpiece positioning with high versatility. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] See Figures 1 to 6A mechanical clamping device includes a working platform 1, a base 2, a drive assembly 3, and multiple clamping mechanisms 4. The base 2 is a barrel-shaped structure with an open top. The working platform 1 is located at the top opening of the base 2. The drive assembly 3 is located inside the base 2 and includes a turbine 31 and a worm gear 32. Bearings 321 are sleeved on both ends of the worm gear 32 and are located inside the bottom of the base 2. One end of the worm gear 32 is connected to a power mechanism in sequence through a connecting pin 322 and a connector 323.

[0040] The aforementioned mechanical clamping device is fixed to the machine tool worktable by bolts. Its working principle is as follows: When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece, the workpiece is first placed on the work platform 1. Then, the worm gear 32 is rotated clockwise by the power mechanism. The worm gear 32 drives the turbine 31 to rotate in the forward direction. The forward rotation of the turbine 31 drives the slider 414 to slide from one end of the slide groove 313 near the center of the disc section 311 to the other end of the slide groove 313 away from the center of the disc section 311. At the same time, the push rod 43 extends out and first abuts against the part of the vertical block 412 located between the pin 413 and the return spring 42. Then, it pushes the bottom of the vertical block 412 to lift up until the pressure block 411 located at the top of the vertical block 412 tightly presses down on the workpiece, completing the workpiece clamping and entering the subsequent workpiece processing.

[0041] After the workpiece is processed, the worm gear 32 is rotated counterclockwise by the power mechanism. The worm gear 32 drives the turbine 31 to rotate in the opposite direction. The reverse rotation of the turbine 31 drives the slider 414 to slide from the end of the slide groove 313 away from the center of the disc section 311 towards the end of the slide groove 313 near the center of the disc section 311. At the same time, the push rod 43 retracts, and the bottom of the vertical block 412 is reset under the action of the return spring 42. The pressure block 411 is lifted, and the processed workpiece can be removed.

The support 14 can slide along the dovetail groove 15. The shank of the positioning screw 5 passes through the fourth threaded hole at the top of the support 14 and abuts against the side wall of the workpiece placed on the work platform 1. The shank of the positioning screw 5 is fitted with an adjusting spring 51. The two ends of the adjusting spring 51 are respectively connected to the head of the positioning screw 5 and one side of the support 14.

[0049] After clamping, slide the bracket 14 along the dovetail groove 15.
