Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 5 The present invention is described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 A processing tool for fixing rail members provided in this embodiment is installed on a machine tool workbench 1. A plurality of parallel T-slots 10 are provided on the machine tool workbench 1 to facilitate clamping of other positioning components. Two electromagnetic clamps 2 are installed on the machine tool workbench 1. The electromagnetic clamps 2 are prior art, including an electromagnetic magnetic base 20, a bottom magnetic conductive pad 21 and a side magnetic conductive pad 22. The installation directions of the two electromagnetic clamps 2 are opposite.

[0030] A processing tool for fixing rail members includes a main connecting plate 3 and two ground rails 4, the two ground rails 4 are respectively adsorbed on two left and right electromagnetic clamps 2, the bottom surface of the ground rail 4 is adsorbed on the bottom attraction magnetic conductive pad 21, and the side surface of the ground rail 4 is adsorbed on the side attraction magnetic conductive pad 22, so as to fix the position of the ground rail 4; a limiting groove 40 is opened in the ground rail 4, the main connecting plate 3 is clamped in the limiting groove 40, and the side wall of the main connecting plate 3 is pressed against the groove wall of the limiting groove 40, so as to limit the displacement of the main connecting plate 3 in the length direction of the ground rail 4.

[0031] A main connecting plate positioning mechanism 5 is provided on the main connecting plate 3, and the main connecting plate positioning mechanism 5 includes two groups of first positioning components 50 and multiple groups of second positioning components 51. The first positioning component 50 includes an abutment plate 500 and a fixing plate 501. The abutment plate 500 and the fixing plate 501 are both fixedly connected to the side wall of the main connecting plate 3. The abutment plate 500 and the fixing plate 501 are located on both sides of the two ground rails 4. The abutment plate 500 abuts against the side wall of one of the ground rails 4. A first fixing nut 502 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 501. A tightening bolt 503 is threadedly connected to the first fixing nut 502. The tightening bolt 503 abuts against the side wall of the other ground rail 4, thereby limiting the displacement of the main connecting plate 3 in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the length direction of the ground rail 4. The two groups of first positioning components 50 are located at both ends of the main connecting plate 3.

[0032] Multiple groups of second positioning components 51 are arranged between the main connecting plate 3 and the machine tool worktable 1. The second positioning components 51 include a support column 510. The top end of the support column 510 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the main connecting plate 3. The bottom end of the support column 510 is installed on the machine tool worktable 1 through two T-slot bolts 511, thereby limiting the displacement of the main connecting plate 3 in the vertical direction and improving the stability of the main connecting plate 3; the T-slot bolts 511 slide in the T-slot 10 of the machine tool worktable 1, thereby adjusting the position of the support column 510.

[0033] A plurality of parallel T-shaped mounting grooves 30 are provided on the top surface of the main connecting plate 3, and the mounting grooves 30 are provided along the length direction of the T-shaped grooves 10. A plurality of pads 6 are placed on the top surface of the main connecting plate 3, and the plurality of pads 6 are arranged in sequence in the same mounting groove 30. A rail member 7 is placed on the pad 6, and the rail member 7 is placed along the length direction of the ground rail 4. After the tooling is installed on the machine tool workbench 1 for the first time, in order to eliminate the accumulated error, the pad 6 is usually self-milled before the rail member 7 is processed, so as to ensure the overall flatness and positioning accuracy of the tooling.

[0034] A rail member positioning mechanism 8 is provided on the main connecting plate 3, and the rail member positioning mechanism 8 includes an end positioning member 80, a plurality of side positioning members 81, a plurality of third positioning components 82 and a plurality of fourth positioning components 83. The end positioning member 80 abuts against one of the end faces of the rail member 7. The end positioning member 80 is used to locate the installation position of the rail member 7 on the main connecting plate 3. The other end of the rail member 7 does not need to be limited because the milling force of the machine tool is not so large, and there is friction between the third positioning component 82 and the fourth positioning component 83 and the rail member 7, which is sufficient to ensure the stability of the rail member 7; the plurality of side positioning members 81 are all located on the same side of the rail member 7 and abut against the rail waist of the rail member 7 at the same time, and the third positioning component 82 is located on the side away from the rail member 7 On one side of the surface positioning member 81, the third positioning assembly 82 includes a support plate 820, which is slidably arranged in the installation groove 30. A second fixing nut 821 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 820, and a positioning bolt 822 is threadedly connected to the second fixing nut 821. One end of the positioning bolt 822 is pressed against the waist of the rail member 7, and a sleeve 823 is rotatably connected to the end of the positioning bolt 822 close to the rail member 7. The positioning bolt 822 is pressed against the rail member 7 through the sleeve 823, and the sleeve 823 can reduce the damage of the positioning bolt 822 to the rail member 7; the third positioning assembly 82 and the side positioning member 81 press against the rail member 7 from both sides of the rail member 7, thereby limiting the displacement of the rail member 7 in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the length direction of the rail member 7.

[0035] The fourth positioning assembly 83 is also located on the side of the rail member 7 away from the side positioning assembly 81. The fourth positioning assembly 83 includes a Z-shaped pressing plate 830. The end of the pressing plate 830 away from the rail member 7 is vertically threadedly connected with a height-adjusting bolt 831. The bottom end of the height-adjusting bolt 831 is arranged in the mounting groove 30, and the height-adjusting bolt 831 can adjust the height of the pressing plate 830; the end of the pressing plate 830 close to the rail member 7 is pressed on the rail bottom of the rail member 7, and a T-shaped quick-release bolt 832 vertically penetrates the pressing plate 830. The T-shaped quick-release bolt 832 is located between the height-adjusting bolt and the rail member 7, and the bottom end of the T-shaped quick-release bolt 832 is arranged in the mounting groove 30. The T-shaped quick-release bolt 832 presses the pressing plate 830 downward, so that the pressing plate 830 presses the rail bottom of the rail member 7, thereby limiting the displacement of the rail member 7 in the vertical direction; the pressing plate 830 is arranged in a Z shape to reduce the height of the pressing plate 830 and the T-shaped quick-release bolt 832, thereby avoiding milling interference.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, two rail members 7 and two sets of rail positioning mechanisms 8 are installed on the main connecting plate 3, which can be adapted to a dual-axis CNC machine tool and process two rail members 7 at the same time; of course, in other embodiments, the number of rail members 7 installed on the main connecting plate 3 can be adjusted according to the type of CNC machine tool, and it is only necessary to open a corresponding number of installation grooves 30 on the main connecting plate 3.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Reference Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the pressure plate 830 does not directly press the rail member 7 downward. The fourth positioning assembly 83 also includes a positioning and clamping column 833. The positioning and clamping column 833 is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure plate 830 close to the rail member 7. The rail member 7 is provided with a bolt hole 70 in the previous process. The positioning and clamping column 833 is inserted into the bolt hole 70. The pressure plate 830 presses the rail member 7 downward through the positioning and clamping column 833. This method is used to press the rail member 7 with a missing rail bottom. The pressure plate 830 cannot directly press the rail bottom of the rail member 7, so the pressure plate 830 presses the rail member 7 downward through the positioning and clamping column 833.

[0039] The present invention is further described above with the aid of specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description here should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in the field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
