Through the threaded connection of the first screw rod and the second screw rod with the L-shaped clamping plate, the two L-shaped clamping plates approach each other to firmly clamp both sides of the casting. Then, by rotating the extrusion bolt, the extrusion bolt is pushed to press down the extrusion plate through the threaded connection of the extrusion bolt and the screw hole, thereby firmly pressing the upper side of the casting, realizing the rapid pressing of the casting, and being applicable to the use of castings with different sizes, with a wide application range and convenient for drilling operations.

The T-shaped cylinder 5 drives the tooling table 1 to rotate through the arc-shaped block 4 and the rotating shaft 3. Through the rotation of the support block 2 and the T-shaped cylinder 5, it is convenient to adjust the forklift casting clamped on the tooling table 1 to different tilting angles, improving the applicability and flexibility of the tooling, meeting the diverse processing requirements, and ensuring the stability and safety of the forklift casting.

[0064] First, push the push block 805 through the first cylinder 804 respectively to make the sleeve 801 and the limit block 802 slide along the through groove 7. After moving the sleeve 801 to a suitable position, then drive the first lead screw 808 to rotate along the two connecting blocks 809 through the output shaft of the third servo motor 811, so that the first lead screw 808 drives the T-shaped block 807 to slide along the groove 806. The T-shaped block 807 drives the lifting column 803 to slide along the sleeve 801, and adjusts the lifting column 803 to a suitable use height. While the lifting column 803 moves, it drives the positioning block 810 to move synchronously, so that multiple positioning blocks 810 are adjusted to a suitable use height, adapting to the support of forklift castings of different sizes and shapes, improving the support effect and stability, and ensuring the safety and reliability during the support process.

[0065] Drive the second lead screw 904 to rotate through the output shaft of the fourth servo motor 908. The second lead screw 904 drives the slider 903 to move along the axial direction of the second lead screw 904, and pushes the slider 903 to move to a suitable position along the adjusting block 901. Then, push the adjusting column 906 and the clamping block 907 to slide along the slider 903 through the piston rod of the second cylinder 909. After adjusting the adjusting column 906 to a suitable height, move the piston rod of the third cylinder 913 upward, and push the rotating rod 915 to rotate along the clamping jaw 902, so that the rotating rod 915 pushes the clamping jaw 902 to drive the rotating block 911 to rotate along the hinge seat 910, so that the clamping jaw 902 squeezes and clamps the outer wall or the top surface of the forklift casting, improving the accuracy and efficiency of clamping, ensuring the stability and reliability of clamping, and providing favorable conditions for the welding processing of the forklift casting.

[0066] The connecting bolt 1002 is threadedly connected to the tooling table 1 through the threaded holes on the bottom surface of the tooling table 1, thereby firmly installing the support assembly 10 on the tooling table 1. At the same time, it facilitates the installation and disassembly of the support assembly 10. When the hydraulic cylinder 1003 is started, its piston rod will perform telescopic movement under the action of hydraulic pressure. As the piston rod extends and retracts, the conical block 1004 will also rise or fall accordingly. The bottom surface of the forklift casting is supported by the conical block 1004, reducing the occurrence of deformation during the welding process of the forklift casting after clamping, helping to maintain the shape and dimensional stability of the forklift casting, improving the processing accuracy and product quality, avoiding defects such as cracks and deformations caused by excessive force on the forklift casting, and protecting the integrity of the clamped forklift casting during the welding process.

Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
