[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] The utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0028] Figure 1-4 The first embodiment is shown: a clamping device for a CNC vertical milling machine, comprising a mechanical arm 1 installed on the CNC vertical milling machine, a mounting plate 2 installed on the movable end of the mechanical arm 1, a clamping mechanism for clamping a workpiece installed on the mounting plate 2, the clamping mechanism comprising two positioning plates 3 arranged on the mounting plate 2 and arranged oppositely, two positioning frames 4 arranged oppositely between the two positioning plates 3 via an adjustment mechanism, a clamping plate 5 for positioning and clamping the workpiece on the positioning frame 4 via a spring telescopic member, and at least two groups of clamping plates 5 on each positioning frame 4;

[0029] The clamping surface of the clamping plate 5 is provided with a plurality of spring anti-sliding blocks, which include a positioning column 6 arranged on the clamping plate 5, a receiving cavity 7 for receiving the positioning column 6 is provided on the clamping plate 5, an ejection spring 8 for ejecting the positioning column 6 is provided in the receiving cavity 7, a limiting mechanism for limiting and guiding the positioning column 6 is provided between the receiving cavity 7 and the positioning column 6, and an anti-slip panel 9 is provided at the protruding end of the positioning column 6 extending out of the receiving cavity 7.

[0030] Among them, the adjustment mechanism includes a bidirectional screw 10 arranged between two positioning plates 3, and the bidirectional screw 10 is provided with two moving blocks 11 that move synchronously and in opposite directions. The positioning frame 4 is installed on the moving block 11 via the connecting frame 12. The positioning plate 3 is provided with a driving motor that drives the bidirectional screw 10 to rotate, and a stabilizing mechanism for the moving block 11 to slide stably is provided between the positioning plates 3; wherein, in the specific working process, the bidirectional screw 10 is driven to rotate by the set driving motor, so that the two moving blocks 11 rotate synchronously and in opposite directions, and then the clamping plate 5 can clamp the workpiece synchronously.

[0031] Among them, the stabilizing mechanism includes a limiting light rod 13 arranged between the fixed plates and located on both sides of the bidirectional screw rod 10. The moving block 11 is provided with a limiting through hole for the limiting light rod 13 to pass through, which can make the moving block 11 more stable during the movement process, which is conducive to the clamping plate 5 to clamp the workpiece.

[0032] Among them, the spring telescopic part includes a limiting guide rod 14 arranged between the clamping plate 5 and the positioning frame 4, the positioning frame 4 is provided with a guide through-hole for the limiting guide rod 14 to pass through, the protruding end of the limiting guide rod 14 passing through the guide through-hole is provided with an anti-slip block, the limiting guide rod 14 and a compression spring 15 in a compressed state are provided between the positioning frame 4 and the clamping plate 5; it should be noted that when the clamping plate 5 is in a non-working state, the compression spring 15 at this time also has a lateral elastic force on the clamping plate 5, and the elastic force increases due to the continuous deformation of the compression spring 15 during operation, which improves the clamping ability of the clamping plate 5 to a certain extent; the specific telescopic process is that when the clamping plate 5 begins to abut against the outer surface of the workpiece and clamps it, the limiting guide rod 14 guides the through-hole to telescope, and while telescoping, the compression spring 15 always has an elastic force on the clamping plate 5, which is conducive to clamping the workpiece.

[0033] The positioning frame 4 is provided with an orientation groove 16 which is arranged parallel to the limiting guide rod 14 , and the clamping plate 5 is provided with an orientation slider 17 which slides linearly along the orientation groove 16 , so that the clamping plate 5 can move more stably during the clamping process.

[0034] Among them, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting block 18 arranged in a cross shape at the inner end of the positioning column 6, and a limiting groove 19 matching the limiting block 18 is provided in the storage cavity 7, which has a limiting effect on the positioning column 6 and makes its movement more stable.

[0035] Among them, a plurality of anti-skid strips 20 are arranged on the anti-skid panel 9 and are evenly distributed, which play a certain anti-skid role.

[0036] The two positioning frames 4 can be driven to move by the arranged adjusting mechanism, and the positioning frames 4 during the movement can drive the two clamping plates 5 to fit and clamp the two sides of the special-shaped workpiece, and the arranged spring telescopic parts can allow the clamping plates 5 to play a certain elastic buffering role when clamping the special-shaped workpiece; in the process of clamping the clamping plates 5, when some anti-slip panels 9 encounter some uneven arc edges, they can clamp the uneven edges of the special-shaped workpiece with the cooperation of the ejection springs 8 and the positioning columns 6 arranged in the storage chamber 7. Specifically, the uneven edges make the telescopic states of the positioning columns 6 different, thereby forming a clamping state for the special-shaped workpiece, which improves the clamping ability of the special-shaped workpiece to a certain extent, and does not affect the clamping of conventional workpieces.

[0037] Figure 1 and Figure 5 A second embodiment is shown, which mainly differs from the first embodiment in that a substrate 21 is provided at both ends of the compression spring 15 , and a pressure sensor 22 for detecting the pressure between the substrate 21 and the clamping plate 5 is provided between the substrate 21 and the clamping plate 5 .

[0038] By providing a substrate 21 at both ends of the clamping spring 15 and a pressure sensor 22 between the substrate 21 and the clamping plate 5, the pressure sensor 22 can detect the pressure between the clamping plate 5 and the substrate 21, and can be adjusted in time during the detection process to avoid excessive clamping force on the special-shaped workpiece and damage to the object, and if the clamping force is too small, it will not have a good clamping effect.

[0039] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited, and conventional equipment can be used.

[0040] When in use, firstly, the two positioning frames 4 can be driven to move through the arranged adjustment mechanism, and during the movement, the positioning frames 4 can drive the two clamping plates 5 to fit and clamp the two sides of the special-shaped workpiece, and the arranged spring telescopic parts can allow the clamping plates 5 to play a certain elastic buffering role when clamping the special-shaped workpiece; in the process of clamping the clamping plates 5, when some anti-slip panels 9 encounter some uneven arc edges, they can be clamped on the uneven edges of the special-shaped workpiece with the cooperation of the ejection springs 8 and the positioning columns 6 arranged in the storage chamber 7. Due to the uneven edges, the telescopic state of the positioning column 6 is different to form a clamping state for the special-shaped workpiece, which improves the clamping ability of the special-shaped workpiece to a certain extent, and does not affect the clamping of the conventional workpiece; wherein, by providing a substrate 21 at both ends of the clamping spring 15 and a pressure sensor 22 between the substrate 21 and the clamping plate 5, the pressure sensor 22 can detect the pressure between the clamping plate 5 and the substrate 21, and then can be adjusted in time during the detection process to avoid excessive clamping force on the special-shaped workpiece and damage to the object, and if the clamping force is too small, it will not play a good clamping effect.
