[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this specific embodiment adopts the following technical scheme: a tooling fixture for mechanical design, including a fixture base 2 and a workpiece positioning element, a guide device and a clamping device arranged on the fixture base. The workpiece positioning element includes a support pin 7 arranged on the fixture base for limiting the horizontal freedom of the workpiece, and the fixture base is provided with a boss structure for installing a support plate 8 for supporting the bottom of the workpiece. The reasonable setting of the positioning element is used to limit the six degrees of freedom of the workpiece, and at the same time increases the force area between the bottom of the workpiece and the fixture, so that the workpiece can be more stable after being pressed by the rotating pressure plate. The guide device of the workpiece includes a boring die bracket 1 arranged on the fixture base, which is accurately positioned by a positioning pin and connected and fastened with a hexagonal bolt; the boring sleeve 4 is connected to the boring die bracket by a bushing for the boring sleeve through cooperation, so as to limit and determine the direction of the boring tool during workpiece processing. A calibrating base surface is provided on the side of the fixture base to facilitate the assembly and manufacture of the tooling fixture. Two oil supply holes are arranged on the side of the clamp body base to facilitate connection with the oil supply holes on the corner oil cylinder, thereby completing the clamping and loosening actions of the workpiece.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, eye screws are provided at the four corner positions of the clamp body base, so as to facilitate the movement and installation of the fixture to meet different requirements when processing the workpiece.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, bosses are provided at the contact points between the clamp base 2 and the positioning bracket 9, the boring die bracket 1, the corner cylinder 5 and the eye screw 3, and a groove is provided at the bottom of the clamp base to reduce its processing surface, which is beneficial to make the workpiece more stable during the processing and ensure the processing accuracy of the workpiece.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the workpiece clamping device includes an angle oil cylinder body 10 arranged on the base of the clamp body, the angle oil cylinder is connected and fastened by a hexagonal bolt, a piston rod 14 is inserted inside the angle oil cylinder, and a rotating pressure plate 6 is connected to the piston rod by a clamping nut 12, and a pressure block 13 is installed at the end of the rotating pressure plate that contacts the workpiece. Specifically, the rotating pressure plate and the piston rod are rotatably connected by a latch to ensure that the rotating pressure plate and the piston rod can rotate synchronously.

[0030] The pressing block is made of rubber material, which makes the contact between the clamping device and the workpiece closer during operation, thereby reducing the influence of the clamping force on the machining accuracy of the workpiece.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the indicated orientation or positional relationship is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only a simplified description for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0032] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, for example, the clamping device is driven by a hydraulic cylinder, or may be driven by an air cylinder, and the air cylinder is rotatably connected to the rotating pressure plate to achieve the clamping and loosening of the workpiece.

[0033] In summary, the present invention provides a fixture for mechanical design, including a clamping base and a workpiece positioning element, a clamping device and a guiding device arranged on the clamping base. The workpiece positioning element includes a support plate for placing and positioning the workpiece and a supporting pin for limiting the horizontal freedom of the workpiece. The clamping device is a rotary cylinder that drives a rotating pressure plate to move so that the workpiece can be firmly fixed on the clamping base during processing. The guiding device is a boring die bracket connected to the clamping base through a positioning conical pin and a hexagonal bolt, and then connected to the boring die bracket by a boring sleeve, a bushing for the boring sleeve, and a boring sleeve screw. The parts of the present invention are manufactured separately and have a compact structure, which can ensure that the workpiece can remain stable during the mechanical processing process and reduce the influence of vibration and deformation on the processing accuracy. The present invention uses a hydraulic clamping method and a rubber material pressure block structure at the contact between the rotating pressure plate and the workpiece, which can solve the technical problems of instability of the workpiece during processing and the influence of the processing accuracy of the workpiece due to excessive deformation, and can correspondingly reduce labor costs and improve economic benefits.
