[0024] The present invention will now be further described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams that only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a fixture suitable for processing nozzle heads of various specifications includes a fixture body 1, a tray 4 and a fixing assembly 6. The tray 4 is used to support the fixture body 1, the fixing assembly 6 is used to fix the fixture body 1 on the tray 4, and the fixture body 1 is provided with a plurality of placement stations 2 for installing nozzle heads.

[0027] The top and bottom surfaces of the fixture body 1 are both planar structures, and the bottom surface of the fixture body 1 is in contact with the top surface of the tray 4; when used on a surface grinder, the fixture body 1 can be adsorbed and fixed on the working magnetic table of the surface grinder, and then the nozzle head can be installed on the placement station 2, and then the grinding process can be carried out; when used on a machining center machine tool, the fixture body 1 and the tray 4 are connected through the fixing component 6, and then the tray 4 is installed on the workbench of the machining center machine tool, and then the nozzle head is loaded into the placement station 2 for corresponding processing.

[0028] The placement station 2 on the fixture body 1 is used to install nozzle heads of different specifications, that is, each placement station 2 corresponds to a nozzle head of one specification; when processing nozzle heads of different specifications through the fixture, it is only necessary to install the nozzle head on the corresponding placement station 2 without moving the fixture body 1; and then by reducing the frequency of fixture movement, the accuracy of product processing is guaranteed, repeated positioning is avoided, the operation process is simplified, and production efficiency is improved.

[0029] As mentioned above, the placement station 2 includes a placement hole 21 opened on the top of the fixture body 1, a positioning hole 22 is opened on the surrounding side of the placement hole 21, and one end of the nozzle head is embedded in the placement hole 21, and the other end is connected to the fixture body 1 through a locking screw that can be embedded in the positioning hole 22.

[0030] The shape and size of the placement hole 21 match the corresponding nozzle head, and the positioning holes 22 are distributed around the placement hole 21, which are used to cooperate with the locking screw to realize the locking positioning of the nozzle head; that is, after one end of the nozzle head is embedded in the placement hole 21, the locking screw can be used to pass through the other end of the nozzle head and screw it into the positioning hole 22 to complete the fixed installation of the nozzle head on the fixture body 1.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, a positioning groove 3 is provided at the lower part of the clamp body 1, and the fixing assembly 6 includes a pressing plate 61, a positioning screw 64 and a supporting screw 65 which are passed through the pressing plate 61; and one end of the pressing plate 61 is connected to the tray 4, and the other end abuts against the positioning groove 3. The pressing plate 61 abuts against the inner side of the positioning groove 3, which can limit the freedom of the clamp body 1 on the tray 4, thereby achieving positioning.

[0032] Among them, a slot hole 62 is opened on the pressure plate 61, and a support hole 63 is opened on one side of the slot hole 62; the support screw 65 passes through the support hole 63 from bottom to top, and the positioning screw 64 passes through the slot hole 62 from top to bottom and is connected to the tray 4; and a plurality of mounting holes 5 are opened on the tray 4, and one end of the positioning screw 64 can be screwed into and embedded in the mounting hole 5.

[0033] Specifically, one end of the support screw 65 passes through the support hole 63 from bottom to top, and is screwed to the support hole 63, and the other end of the support screw 65 rests on the top surface of the tray 4, which is used to support the pressure plate 61 and ensure that the pressure plate 61 and the top surface of the tray 4 are parallel to each other; one end of the positioning screw 64 can pass through the slot 62 and be screwed into the mounting hole 5 on the tray 4. Under the supporting action of the support screw 65, as the positioning screw 64 is screwed in, one end of the pressure plate 61 can be firmly pressed against the positioning groove 3.

[0034] In addition, multiple mounting holes 5 are distributed in a rectangular array on the tray 4, and both ends of the positioning groove 3 pass through the side of the clamp body 1, and the positioning screw 64 can also move along the length direction of the slot 62; based on this structure, the user can conveniently adjust the position of the pressure plate 61 relative to the clamp body 1 as needed, so that the pressure plate 61 can be abutted against the positioning groove 3 while the positioning screw 64 can be screwed together with the mounting hole 5, which greatly improves the stability of the fixing component 6.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] When used on a surface grinder, the fixture body 1 can be adsorbed and fixed on the working magnetic table of the surface grinder, and then the nozzle head can be installed on the placement station 2, so that one end of the nozzle head is embedded in the placement hole 21, and the locking screw is passed through the screw hole on the nozzle head and then screwed and embedded in the positioning hole 22 to achieve locking, and then the grinding process is performed;

[0037] When used on a machining center, the fixture body 1 and the pallet 4 are first connected through the fixing assembly 6, and then the pallet 4 is installed on the workbench of the machining center. The nozzle head is then placed in the placement station 2 for corresponding processing.

[0038] Among them, when connecting the clamp body 1 and the tray 4 through the fixing component 6, first, one end of the support screw 65 is passed through the support hole 63 from bottom to top, and then one end of the pressure plate 61 is embedded in the positioning groove 3, and the distance through which the support screw 65 passes is adjusted to ensure that the pressure plate 61 is parallel to the top surface of the tray 4; then, one end of the positioning screw 64 is passed through the slot 62, and the position of the positioning screw 64 is adjusted to make it vertically aligned with the mounting hole 5 on the tray 4. Under the support of the support screw 65, as the positioning screw 64 is screwed into the mounting hole 5, one end of the pressure plate 61 can be firmly pressed against the positioning groove 3 to complete the connection between the clamp body 1 and the tray 4.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] On the basis of embodiment one, two positioning grooves 3 are provided, and the two positioning grooves 3 are relatively opened on both sides of the clamp body 1, and both sides of the clamp body 1 are connected to the tray 4 through the fixing component 6, and there are four fixing components 6, and the four fixing components 6 are grouped in pairs and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the clamp body 1.

[0041] As mentioned above, both sides of the clamp body 1 are connected to the pallet 4 through the fixing components 6, two fixing components 6 are overlapped on each positioning groove 3, and the two positioning grooves 3 and four fixing components 6 adopt a symmetrical structure, which can ensure the force balance of the clamp body 1 on the pallet 4 to avoid the clamp body 1 tilting to one side during operation.

[0042] Embodiment 3

[0043] On the basis of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, each placement station 2 can be equipped with a nozzle head of a certain specification; for example, some placement stations 2 include a placement hole 21, and four positioning holes 22 are provided around the placement hole 21; some placement stations 2 include two placement holes 21, and the upper parts of the two placement holes 21 are connected by a countersunk hole; and the screw holes reserved on the nozzle head correspond to the number and position of the positioning holes 22. After the parts are installed into the fixture body 1, they are locked by screws. Since the nozzle head parts are installed upside down or in the wrong position, the screw holes on the nozzle head parts will not match the positioning holes 22 on the fixture and cannot be locked, or they will be installed in the wrong position and cannot be installed, so the fixture will not be installed in the wrong direction or in the wrong position.
