[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 A rail clamping device shown in the figure comprises a processing table 1, a gantry 2 erected on the top of the processing table 1, a vertical cylinder 3 arranged on the top of the gantry 2, a connecting block 4 connected to the end of the piston rod of the vertical cylinder 3, a pressing block 5 detachably connected to the bottom of the connecting block 4, a rail placement position 6 arranged on the processing table 1, and a transverse clamping assembly arranged on both sides of the rail placement position 6, a vertical clamping space is formed between the rail placement position 6 and the pressing block 5, and a first arc groove 7 is at least partially opened on the surface of the rail placement position 6; when it is necessary to saw the rail forward, the bottom surface of the rail is placed on the rail placement position 6, and the pressing block 5 with the second arc groove 16 is assembled to the connecting block 4, the second arc groove 16 is matched with the top surface of the rail, and the transverse clamping assembly clamps the rail For horizontal clamping, the vertical cylinder 3 is pressed down until the second arc groove 16 contacts the top surface of the rail, and the pressure block 5 cooperates with the rail placement position 6 to stably clamp the rail; when the rail needs to be sawed in the opposite direction, the pressure block 5 with a flat bottom surface is assembled to the connecting block 4, and the top surface of the rail is placed in the first arc groove 7 of the rail placement position 6, the first arc groove 7 matches the shape of the top surface of the rail, and the horizontal clamping assembly clamps the rail horizontally, and the vertical cylinder 3 is pressed down until the bottom surface of the pressure block 5 contacts the bottom surface of the rail, and the pressure block 5 cooperates with the rail placement position 6 to stably clamp the rail; the stability during the sawing process is improved to prevent the rail from tilting during sawing and affecting the verticality, and the rail can be clamped in both positive and negative directions to adapt to different sawing processing scenarios.

[0023] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the transverse clamping assembly includes a first slide cylinder 8 and a second slide cylinder 9 which are installed on the processing table 1 and are arranged laterally opposite to each other. The piston rod end surfaces of the first slide cylinder 8 and the second slide cylinder 9 are provided with clamping blocks 10. The extension and retraction directions of the first slide cylinder 8 and the second slide cylinder 9 are perpendicular to the length direction of the rail, and a transverse clamping space is formed between the two clamping blocks 10. When the rail is placed, the first slide cylinder 8 and the second slide are started to push the two clamping blocks 10 closer to each other, thereby clamping the waist of the rail, further improving the clamping stability of the rail.

[0024] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the two symmetrical sides of the connecting block 4 are both provided with a first slide groove 11 in the horizontal direction, a groove is provided in the middle of the pressing block 5, and two symmetrical inner side walls in the groove of the pressing block 5 are provided with a first slide rail 12 slidably connected to the first slide groove 11; the pressing block 5 is provided with a push-pull handle 13 on one side in the direction of the first slide groove 11; and the pressing block 5 also includes a limit plate, the pressing block 5 is provided with a second slide groove 14 on the side away from the push-pull handle 13, and the side wall of the limit plate of the pressing block 5 is provided with a second slide rail 15 slidably connected to the second slide groove 14 ; When installing the pressing block 5, by holding the push-pull handle 13, align the first slide rail 12 on the pressing block 5 with the first slide groove 11, push the push-pull handle 13, install the pressing block 5 and the connecting block 4, and after installation in place, insert the second slide rail 15 of the limit plate of the pressing block 5 into the second slide groove 14, so that the pressing block 5 and the connecting piece are tightly installed, thereby preventing the pressing block 5 from detaching from the connecting block 4 when the cylinder is pressed vertically or clamped in the vertical direction; the push-pull handle 13 is used to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the pressing block 5 and improve the installation and disassembly efficiency.
