[0001] The invention relates to the field of mechanical processing, in particular to a mechanical processing positioning and fixing device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of mechanical processing, accurate positioning and firm fixation of the raw materials to be processed are the key links to ensure the processing quality and precision. However, there are many shortcomings in the traditional mechanical processing positioning and fixing devices. In terms of fixation, most of the traditional clamping methods adopt a single mechanical structure, such as manual clamping fixtures or simple pneumatic and hydraulic clamping devices. However, these clamping methods have the problem of inaccurate control of the clamping force, which may lead to deformation of the raw materials due to excessive clamping force, or loosening of the raw materials during processing due to insufficient clamping force. Secondly, for raw materials of different sizes, the adaptability of traditional clamping devices is poor, and it is often necessary to equip them with clamps of various specifications, which increases the equipment cost and the time cost of replacing the clamps. Furthermore, during the processing, when the raw materials are subjected to external forces and uneven force occurs, the traditional devices lack an effective automatic adjustment mechanism and cannot maintain the stable and fixed state of the raw materials in time, which may easily lead to processing interruptions or scrap.

Based on the pressure information fed back by the sensor, the PLC controller can respond quickly and automatically control the servo motor or the electric hydraulic push rod to perform corresponding actions. For example, when the pressure on one side increases and the pressure on the other side decreases, the controller can control the electric hydraulic push rod on the side with greater pressure to extend and increase the supporting force, or start the servo motor to re-clamp when the pressure of the first pressure sensor decreases, thereby effectively maintaining the stable and fixed state of the raw material to be processed during the processing, avoiding the problems of loosening and falling off of the raw material due to uneven stress, and ensuring the continuity and quality of processing.

[0014] The positioning plate and extrusion replacement head can be easily replaced for raw materials of different sizes to be processed, so that it can adapt to the processing needs of raw materials of various specifications. This flexibility greatly improves the versatility of the device, reduces the trouble of replacing the entire set of fixtures due to changes in raw material size, and reduces production costs and equipment idle rate.

An obstacle avoidance groove 28 is provided on the side of the side support block 27 close to the extrusion replacement head 23.

By setting the control program for the PLC controller 12, the tightening force can be adaptively adjusted to prevent the raw material 7 to be processed from falling off during the processing process.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the control program and the pressure thresholds of the first pressure sensor 26 and the second pressure sensor 30 are first set through the PLC controller 12. When performing mechanical processing, the pull rod 16 is pulled by external force to drive the processing table 10 away from the baffle 2 to the loading and unloading area, and then the raw material 7 to be processed is placed on the top of the processing table 10 and on the side of the positioning plate 17 close to the positioning groove 18, and one side of the raw material 7 to be processed is tightly attached to the inner side of the positioning groove 18, and then the servo motor 33 is controlled by the PLC controller 12 to start clamping. The driving end of the servo motor 33 drives the threaded rod 31 to rotate through the reducer 32. The rotating threaded rod 31 pushes the sliding block 20 to move close to the positioning plate 17. The movement of the sliding block 20 drives the extrusion plate 19 to move, thereby driving the extrusion replacement head 23 and the side support block 27 to move. The first pressure sensor 26 moves closer to the raw material 7 to be processed until one end of the first pressure sensor 26 away from the extrusion replacement head 23 is close to the outside of the raw material 7 to be processed. At this time, the pressure detected by the first pressure sensor 26 continues to increase. When the pressure reaches a predetermined value, the PLC controller 12 controls the servo motor 33 to be turned off, and at the same time controls the electric hydraulic push rod 21 to extend. The telescopic end of the electric hydraulic push rod 21 pushes the second pressure sensor 30 to move. The movement of the second pressure sensor 30 drives the rotating connection member 29 to move. The movement of the rotating connection member 29 drives the side support block 27 to rotate until the side of the side support block 27 close to the raw material 7 to be processed is close to the outside of the raw material 7 to be processed. The pressure detected by the second pressure sensor 30 continues to increase. When the pressure reaches a predetermined value, the PLC controller 12 controls the electric hydraulic push rod 21 to stop extending. At this time, the raw material 7 to be processed is fixed;

[0029] After the fixation is completed, the pull rod 16 is pushed by external force to approach the baffle 2 to the processing area, until the plug-in fixing plate 13 is plugged into the inner side of the plug-in fixing groove 6, and then the first fixing bolt 14 is screwed on the baffle 2 at the bottom end of the plug-in fixing groove 6 by external force, so as to fix the processing table 10. When the raw material 7 to be processed is processed and the external force acts on one side of the raw material 7 to be processed, the raw material 7 to be processed will be subjected to uneven force. When the pressure detected by the second pressure sensor 30 on one side of the extrusion replacement head 23 increases, the second pressure sensor 30 on the other side detects When the measured pressure decreases, the PLC controller 12 controls the electric hydraulic push rod 21 on the side with greater pressure to extend to increase the supporting strength. When the pressure of the first pressure sensor 26 decreases, the PLC controller 12 controls the servo motor 33 to start clamping, driving the first pressure sensor 26 to squeeze the outside of the raw material 7 to be processed, so as to prevent the raw material 7 from loosening and falling off. When the size of the raw material 7 to be processed is too large, the positioning plate 17 and the extrusion replacement head 23 can be replaced with positioning plates 17 and extrusion replacement heads 23 of suitable sizes to increase the fixing strength.

[0030] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that numerous changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
