DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The embodiments of the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0026] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 1 also includes: a screw 102, a mounting groove 103, and a sealing cover 104; the screw 102 is located on the top of the main body 101; an operating handle is provided on the top of the screw 102; the mounting groove 103 is located inside the main body 101; sealing covers 104 are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 103; the screw 102 here is used to rotate and drive the moving column 111 to move upward, and stretch the spring, so that when the wedge-shaped surface of the moving column 111 contacts the clamping column 110, it pushes it laterally, so that the clamping column 110 assists in positioning the engine blade 3. The screw 102 here can be rotatably connected to the moving column 111, and the moving column 111 can be driven to move up and down by the locking force of the threaded hole on the main body 101. The moving column 111 is also connected to the spring, so it will not rotate when moving, and it is a straight up and down movement.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 4As shown, the positioning mechanism 1 also includes: a zero-point positioning pin 108, an angular pin 109, a clamping pin 110, and a moving pin 111; the zero-point positioning pin 108 is located at the center of the bottom of the main body 101; the angular pin 109 is located on both sides of the bottom of the main body 101; the clamping pin 110 is slidably located on the top side of the main body 101; the clamping pin 110 is connected to the main body 101 by a spring; the moving pin 111 is slidably located inside the main body 101; the bottom of the moving pin 111 is connected to the main body 101 by a spring; the moving pin 111 is located at the bottom of the screw 102; a wedge-shaped surface is provided on the top side of the moving pin 111; the wedge-shaped surface of the moving pin 111 contacts the clamping pin 110; the zero-point positioning pin 108 is used to mate with the hole of the external zero-point positioner, and an axial pulling force is applied pneumatically to the positioning pin, which will pull the internal mechanism of the fixture. The structure causes the conical sleeve surrounding the steel ball to move upward. Due to the inclined surface of the conical sleeve, the upward-moving conical sleeve will radially squeeze the steel ball outward from the inside, forcing it to be tightly embedded in the wall of the conical hole at the outer base end. The continuous tension force creates a huge interference fit between the steel ball and the conical hole at the base end, forming a rigid connection. This is the existing technology for zero-point positioning device connection. The repeatability of the zero-point positioning system is 0.005mm. This mechanism, when used in conjunction with the zero-point positioning system, can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. The angular pin 109 prevents the fixture from rotating, ensuring that the fixture has a unique and accurate angular position in the horizontal plane (X-axis and Y-axis directions).
