[0002] Since aviation structural parts have different shapes and structures, they usually need to be fixed during processing to prevent the position or angle of the structural parts from shifting, causing deviations in the processing accuracy and affecting the subsequent use of the structural parts. At this time, it is necessary to use flexible tooling clamping devices to clamp and fix the aviation structural parts, thereby further improving the efficiency of the fixing processing.

[0003] After searching, it was found that a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN215037586U disclosed a clamping device for the research and development of flexible tooling for aviation structural parts manufacturing systems. The flexible tooling clamping device in the utility model patent uses a mechanical arm to clamp the structural parts on the conveyor belt, and then uses an inductive sensor to control the clamping assembly to clamp and fix the structural parts. However, there is no buffer structure inside the clamping assembly on the mechanical arm, and the inductive sensor is located at the top of the clamping assembly, which can drive the clamping mechanism to clamp and move the parts, but cannot provide a flexible clamping effect for the clamping assembly, and cannot effectively avoid the situation where the mechanical arm power is too large to cause damage to the surface of the structural parts.

The outer side of the translation seat 204 is provided with a clamping plate 206, and the clamping plate 206 is connected to the translation seat 204 through the buffer 205 to provide a flexible clamping effect for the clamping plate 206.

The reduction motor 3 drives one of the No. 1 pulleys to make the two No. 1 pulleys rotate synchronously. The driving gear outside the other No. 1 pulley is meshed with a driven gear. At this time, the rotation direction of the driven gear is opposite to the rotation direction of the two No. 1 pulleys.
