[0022] The casting fixture device is composed of a fixture base 301, a fixture base support plate 302, a first semicircular clamp block 303, a second semicircular clamp block 304 and a spring 305. The fixture base 301 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the fixture base support plate 302 by bolts, the first semicircular clamp block 303 and the second semicircular clamp block 304 are sleeved on the guide column of the fixture base 301, and the spring 305 is sleeved on the guide column of the fixture base 301.
