[0002] An electronic water pump is a liquid transmission device driven by electricity, which can improve temperature management efficiency by precisely controlling the flow of coolant compared to a traditional mechanical water pump. Among the various components of an electronic water pump, the electronic water pump rear cover plays a good protective and sealing role for the internal components of the water pump. Therefore, the rear cover is one of the essential processing parts in the manufacture of an electronic water pump.

[0003] In order to ensure that the electronic water pump rear cover can be conveniently assembled with the main body of the water pump, at least four positions on the electronic water pump rear cover need to be bored, and then threaded holes are processed. However, in reality, it is difficult for traditional jigs and equipment to clamp the electronic water pump rear cover. Even if clamping can be completed, each time after processing a single threaded hole, the drilling needs to be changed, which requires manual repositioning of the clamping, which is relatively cumbersome.

The circular surface of the auxiliary circular wheel is uniformly provided with four clamping grooves in the annular direction. The number and distribution of the clamping grooves correspond to and adapt to the number and distribution of the threaded holes of the workpiece.

[0013] Preferably, the locking assembly further comprises a loading box mounted on the lower portion of the control clamping table. The loading box is provided with a loading groove, and a spring is mounted in the loading groove. The spring is connected with a clamping pin which is slidably matched with the loading groove. The clamping pin is matched with the clamping groove, and the clamping pin is provided with a circular shaft portion.
