[0034] Working process of this utility model:

[0035] Part I:

[0036] First, install the lathe fixture to the machine tool through the machine tool connecting plate 8 and the locating pin 5 connected to the lathe, then connect the fixture chassis 9 to the machine tool connecting plate 8, and then install the fixture body 1 to the fixture chassis 9. The tops of the outer pull rod 6 and the inner pull rod 7 pass through the fixture chassis 9 and the middle of the machine tool connecting plate 8 in turn, and then are connected to the hydraulic system of the machine tool to provide push and pull forces.

[0037] When the outer pull rod 6 is pulled up, the inclined guide column 11 and the sub-claw 13 of the clamping claw are tightened inwards to clamp the large outer circle of the lower part of the workpiece 2. When the outer pull rod 6 is pushed down, the inclined guide column 11 and the sub-claw 13 of the clamping claw are moved outwards to release the large outer circle of the lower part of the workpiece 2.

[0038] Part II:

[0039] The expansion sleeve 16 is fixed to the connection plate 10, and the wedge block 17 is fixed to the fixture body 1 and is immovable, and only the expansion sleeve 16 moves up and down. The inner bevel of the wedge plate 17 cooperates with the outer bevel of the bottom of the expansion sleeve 16, so that when the inner pull rod 7 is pulled up, the connection plate 10 and the expansion sleeve 16 are driven to move up, so that the outer bevel at the bottom of the expansion sleeve 16 contacts the inner bevel of the wedge block 17, thereby clamping the workpiece. Conversely, the inner pull rod 7 is pushed down to release the workpiece. At this time, the expansion sleeve 16 moves downward, and the outer bevel at the bottom of the expansion sleeve 16 separates from the inner bevel of the wedge block 17, thereby releasing the workpiece.

[0040] Dust cover part:

[0041] The spring cover 21 is connected to the fixture body 1 by bolts. After the spring height adjustment block 19 and the spring 20 are placed in the dust cover 18, the dust cover 18 is placed in the spring cover 21. There are long grooves in the up and down directions on the outer diameter of the dust cover 18. The dust cover 18 and the spring cover 21 are connected by passing the through hole on the spring cover 21 with a top screw. The dust cover 18 can move up and down; when the workpiece is clamped, the workpiece drives the dust cover upward, and the spring in the dust cover 18 is compressed. Under the action of the spring, the dust cover 18 tightly covers the small end face of the upper end of the workpiece, thereby closing the upper space inside the fixture and preventing processing iron chips from entering the fixture.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that modifying the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replacing part or all of the technical features therein by equivalents, does not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
