DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses a CNC fixture with a pneumatic fixing structure. Figure 1 The tooling fixture includes a turntable 1, a reference body 2, a limit portion 3 and a pneumatic clamp 4. The reference body 2 is installed on the turntable 1, the limit portion 3 is opened on the reference body 2, the pneumatic clamp 4 is installed on the reference body 2 and adjacent to the limit portion 3, the workpiece is placed in the limit portion 3, and the pneumatic clamp 4 fixes the workpiece in the limit portion 3.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a built-in power source is provided in the turntable 1, and the reference body 2 is installed on the turntable 1. The turntable 1 drives the reference body 2 to rotate and cooperates with the CNC to process the workpiece. The CNC has a large impact on the workpiece when processing the workpiece. If the workpiece is not fixed stably, the workpiece is prone to movement, resulting in low precision of the workpiece. Therefore, a limiting portion 3 is provided on the reference body 2 to limit the workpiece. Specifically, the limiting portion 3 includes a positioning groove 31 and a stop bar 32, wherein the positioning groove 31 is formed by being recessed downward from the top surface of the reference body 2 and adapted to the bottom contour of the workpiece. The workpiece is placed in the positioning groove 31 to position the bottom of the workpiece; the stop bar 32 is fixedly installed on the reference body 2, connected integrally with the reference body 2, and adjacent to the positioning groove 31, and abuts against the side wall of the workpiece in the positioning groove 31. In this embodiment, two stop bars 32 are provided, which are located on both sides of the positioning groove 31. The two stop bars 32 abut against the workpiece at the same time, further limiting the workpiece body, which helps to improve the stability of the workpiece placement.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 When processing the workpiece, the CNC continuously sprays water on the workpiece to cool it down, and the cooled water is easily accumulated in the positioning groove 31. Therefore, a drainage groove 5 is opened on the reference body 2, and the drainage groove 5 is connected with the positioning groove 31. After the workpiece is processed, the water in the positioning groove 31 can flow out from the drainage groove 5; it should be noted that the limiting part 3 can be provided with multiple groups, such as two groups, three groups or more than three groups. In this embodiment, the limiting part 3 is provided with four groups, and the four groups of limiting parts 3 are arranged at intervals along the reference body 2. Four workpieces can be placed at a time, and the CNC processes four workpieces at the same time, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the workpieces.

[0036] refer to Figure 3After the position of the workpiece is determined, the workpiece can be clamped and processed. Specifically, the pneumatic clamp 4 includes a pneumatic element 41, a lifting element 42, a translation element 43 and an elastic element 44. The pneumatic element 41 is installed on the reference body 2, the lifting element 42 is fixedly connected to the pneumatic element 41, the translation element 43 is slidably installed on the reference body 2 and abuts against the lifting element 42, and the elastic element 44 is fixedly installed on the reference body 2 and fixedly connected to the translation element 43; in this embodiment, the pneumatic element 41 is a telescopic cylinder, which is vertically arranged and fixedly installed on the reference body 2 and is located between the two sets of limit parts 3. The telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder passes through the reference body 2 and can be extended vertically upward to output power.

[0037] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The lifting member 42 is a block-shaped structure, which is fixedly mounted on the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder. A first abutment surface 6 is provided on the lifting member 42. The first abutment surface 6 is an inclined surface, and the first abutment surface 6 can be provided in multiple groups, such as two groups, three groups or more than three groups. In the present embodiment, two groups of first abutment surfaces 6 are provided on the lifting member 42, and the two groups of first abutment surfaces 6 are symmetrically arranged; correspondingly, the number of translation members 43 is consistent with the number of first abutment surfaces 6, and two groups are also provided. The two groups of translation members 43 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second abutment surfaces 7 on the two groups of translation members 43 are opposite to each other. A slide groove is provided at the bottom of the two groups of translation members 43, and the reference body 2 A convex strip is convexly provided on the upper part, and two groups of translation members 43 are slidably installed on the reference body 2 through the sliding cooperation of the slide groove and the convex strip. A group of first abutting surfaces 6 and a group of second abutting surfaces 7 abut against each other, and the first abutting surface 6 is parallel to the second abutting surface 7 when abutting. When the lifting member 42 is driven by the telescopic cylinder to move vertically downward, the force acting on the second abutting surface 7 has a horizontal component, so the translation member 43 is pushed open horizontally, close to the workpiece in the limiting part 3, and clamps the workpiece. A group of lifting members 42 cooperates with the two groups of translation members 43 and is located between the two groups of limiting parts 3 to form two relative clamping positions, thereby improving the compactness of the structure.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In order to make the translation member 43 reset as the lifting member rises after being pushed open horizontally, an elastic member 44 is provided. Specifically, the elastic member 44 includes a spring 442 seat 441 and a spring 442, wherein the spring 442 seat 441 is fixedly mounted on the reference body 2, one end of the spring 442 is fixedly mounted on the spring 442 seat 441, and the other end is fixedly mounted on the translation member 43, and the spring 442 is in a stretched state, which is equivalent to pulling the translation member 43 to reset; since one group of lifting members 42 cooperates with two groups of translation members 43, two groups of elastic members 44 are also required to be provided, and the functions of the spring 442 seat 441 are the same, both of which are used to fix the spring 442, and the two groups of springs 442 are arranged opposite to each other, so a group of spring 442 seats 441 can be shared, and the two groups of springs 442 are fixedly mounted on the opposite side surfaces of the spring 442 seat 441, and one group of springs 442 is fixedly connected to the corresponding group of translation members 43.

[0039] It should be particularly noted that since there are four groups of limiting parts 3, two groups of pneumatic clamps 4 are correspondingly provided. One group of pneumatic clamps 4 is located between the two groups of limiting parts 3. One group of pneumatic clamps 4 can provide two groups of clamping positions, which just matches the four groups of limiting parts 3.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is in the extended state, the lifting member 42 is also lifted up along with the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder. At this time, the side wall of the translation member 43 is also in contact with the side wall of the lifting member 42, and the translation member 43 is not pushed out horizontally, and the workpiece in the limit portion 3 is in the unlocked state; when the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is retracted, the lifting member 42 follows it to descend. At this time, the translation member 43 is pushed horizontally away from the lifting member 42 and approaches the workpiece in the limit portion 3, thereby tightly fixing the firmware.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
