[0036] The machine 1 has a pair of low-position assembly grooves 11 arranged at intervals on the front side for assembling a pair of low-position clamp assemblies 2, and a high-position assembly groove 12 arranged on the rear side of the machine 1 for assembling a high-position back support assembly 3; the low-position assembly grooves 11 and the high-position assembly grooves 12 are both arranged along the front and rear directions of the machine 1, and the low-position assembly grooves 11 penetrate the front side surface of the machine 1 toward the front side, and the high-position assembly grooves 12 penetrate the rear side surface of the machine 1 toward the rear side.

[0037] The low-position clamp assembly 2 includes a low-position clamp seat 21, a low-position U-shaped clamp 22 and a pair of low-position cam locking members 23; the low-position clamp seat 21 is installed in the low-position assembly groove 11, the low-position U-shaped clamp 22 is arranged at the center of the top surface of the low-position clamp seat 21, and the low-position cam locking members 23 are respectively arranged on both sides of the low-position U-shaped clamp 22.

[0038] The low-position clamp seat 21 includes a low-position table top clamp plate 211, a low-position table bottom clamp plate 212, and a low-position cylindrical connecting rod 213 fixedly connected between the low-position table top clamp plate 211 and the low-position table bottom clamp plate 212. The length of the low-position cylindrical connecting rod 213 is adapted to the thickness of the machine table 1, and the diameter of the low-position cylindrical connecting rod 213 is adapted to the width of the low-position assembly groove 11. In actual working conditions, the assembled low-position clamp assembly 2 has its low-position cylindrical connecting rod 213. Located in the low-position assembly groove 11 of the machine 1, the low-position table top clamp 211 is located on the top surface of the machine 1, and the low-position table bottom clamp 212 is located under the bottom surface of the machine 1.

[0040] Furthermore, U-shaped clamp locking holes are correspondingly provided on the left clamp plate 221 and the right clamp plate 222, and U-shaped clamp locking bolts 225 are provided in the U-shaped clamp locking holes. The U-shaped clamp locking bolts 225 are used to lock the low-position U-shaped clamp 22 to adjust the width to a suitable one, so that the low-position U-shaped clamp 22 can adapt to engine blades 9 of different thicknesses, further improving the stability of the clamping of the engine blades 9.

[0042] The working principle of the low cam locking member 23 is:

[0043] The low-level cam handle 232 is pulled to rotate the low-level camshaft 231. When the small-radius surface of the low-level camshaft 231 does not contact the low-level table clamp 211 of the low-level clamp seat 21, the low-level clamp assembly 2 is in an unlocked state as a whole. At this time, the low-level clamp assembly 2 can move in the low-level assembly groove 11 of the machine table 1; when the surface of the low-level camshaft 231 with a gradually larger radius gradually contacts the low-level table clamp 211 of the low-level clamp seat 21, the low-level clamp assembly 2 is transformed into a locked state as a whole, thereby locking the adjusted low-level clamp assembly 2 on the machine table 1 and clamping the engine blade 9.

[0044] The high-position back support assembly 3 includes a high-position clamping seat 31, a high-position backrest member 32 and a pair of high-position cam locking members 33; the high-position clamping seat 31 is installed in the high-position assembly groove 12, the high-position backrest member 32 is arranged in the center of the top surface of the high-position clamping seat 31, and the high-position cam locking members 33 are respectively arranged on both sides of the high-position backrest member 32.

[0045] The high-position clamp seat 31 includes a high-position table top clamp plate 311, a high-position table bottom clamp plate 312, and a high-position cylindrical connecting rod 313 fixedly connected between the high-position table top clamp plate 311 and the high-position table bottom clamp plate 312. The length of the high-position cylindrical connecting rod 313 is adapted to the thickness of the machine table 1, and the diameter of the high-position cylindrical connecting rod 313 is adapted to the width of the high-position assembly groove 12. In actual working conditions, the high-position cylindrical connecting rod 313 of the assembled high-position back support assembly 3 is Located in the high-position assembly groove 12 of the machine 1, the high-position table top clamp 311 is located on the top surface of the machine 1, and the high-position table bottom clamp 312 is located under the bottom surface of the machine 1. Since the high-position cylindrical connecting rod 313 is a cylinder, the high-position clamp seat 31 can be clamped on the high-position assembly groove 12 of the machine 1, and its deflection direction can be adjusted with the high-position cylindrical connecting rod 313 as the axis, which is convenient for adapting to the different curvatures of different parts of the engine blades 9, making the clamping of the engine blades 9 more stable.

[0046] The high-position backrest member 32 includes an L-shaped backrest plate 321 , and the L-shaped backrest plate 321 is fixed on the high-position table clamping plate 311 of the high-position clamping seat 31 .

[0047] Furthermore, a universal ball seat 322 is fixedly provided on the top of the L-shaped support plate 321, and a suction cup 323 is installed on the universal ball seat 322. A pressurization check valve and a pressure relief check valve are provided on the suction cup 323. The pressurization check valve is connected to the vacuum pump 324 through an air pipe. The pressurization check valve is used to vacuum the suction cup, and the pressure relief check valve is used to relieve pressure on the suction cup.

[0048] The high-position cam locking member 33 comprises a high-position cam shaft 331, which is rotatably mounted on one end of the high-position table clamping plate 311 of the high-position clamping seat 31 in the horizontal direction, and a high-position cam handle 332 is fixedly mounted on the high-position cam shaft 331. In this embodiment, the working principle of the high-position cam locking member 33 is the same as that of the low-position cam locking member 23.

[0049] The working principle of the high back support assembly 3 is:

[0050] By adjusting the steering direction of the high-position clamp seat 31 and the universal ball seat 322, the adsorption surface of the suction cup 323 is made to be against the engine blade 9. By starting the vacuum pump 324, the suction cup 323 can be evacuated, so that the suction cup 323 is tightly adsorbed on the back side of the engine blade 9. Since the entire high-position back-support assembly 3 can be locked on the machine 1 by the high-position cam locking member 33, the back side and the top side of the engine blade 9 are both adsorbed and supported. The high-position back-support assembly 3 cooperates with the low-position clamp assembly 2, and the engine blade 9 is allowed to stand upright on the machine 1 through three-point positioning, which is convenient for blade grinding.

[0051] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
