The pressure guide groove 6 is in the shape of an inverted cone, a hemispherical shape, or an inverted regular pyramid shape.
[0021] By employing the technical solution of this invention, the workpiece is clamped between the first contour surface and the second contour surface, which increases the rigidity of the workpiece and enables it to maintain a stable positioning position during the cutting process, laying the foundation for improving the cutting accuracy. In addition, by setting pressure guide grooves on the surface of the pressure block, when clamping force is applied through the pressure guide grooves, the clamping force can be evenly distributed on the surface of the pressure block, so that the workpiece bears uniform clamping force at all parts, further enabling the workpiece to maintain a stable position during the cutting process.
[0022] Specifically, the support plate 2 and the pressure block 3 are fixedly connected by at least one pair of pins 7, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the pressure guide groove 6. A vibration damping pad 8 is also adhered to the second contoured surface 5, and the vibration damping pad 8 is sandwiched between the workpiece and the second contoured surface 5.

[0023] In addition, the fixture for machining the inner and outer surfaces of a thin-walled annular workpiece also includes a pressure plate 9, a support rod 10, a pad rod 11, and a pressure rod 12. The surface of the pressure plate 9 is provided with a limiting hole 13, and the surface of the base plate 1 is provided with at least one pair of positioning holes 14, which are located on the inner and outer sides of the support plate 2. One end of the support rod 10 is screwed to the positioning hole 14, and the other end of the support rod 10 is also screwed to a locking nut 15. The support rod 10 also passes through the limiting hole 13. One end of the pressure plate 9 is screwed to one end of the pad rod 11, and the other end of the pad rod 11 abuts against the base plate 1. The other end of the pressure plate 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure rod 12, and the other end of the pressure rod 12 abuts against the pressure guide groove 6.
