[0038] The specific working mode of the utility model is as follows:
[0039] First, the left and right side beam four-axis machining fixtures need to be precisely assembled on the base 1, and the spindle box 2 is firmly set on the base 1, and its output end is fixedly connected to the base plate 3. The length of the base plate 3 is designed to be longer than the workpiece 18 to ensure that the workpiece 18 can be stably supported during the entire machining process.
[0040] On the base plate 3, the utility model carefully arranges the positioning block group 4, the first clamping cylinder group 6, the second clamping cylinder group 8 and the positioning cylinder group 4. The positioning block groups 4 are arranged at intervals along the base plate 3, and they are responsible for accurately positioning the workpiece 18 before processing. The first clamping cylinder group 6 is arranged next to the positioning block group 4, away from the axis of the spindle box 2, and their function is to clamp one side of the workpiece 18 during processing. The second clamping cylinder group 8 cleverly passes through the base plate 3 and is arranged below the base plate 3.

The positioning cylinder groups 4 are arranged at the two axial ends of the base plate 3, and they are responsible for the final positioning and fixation of the workpiece 18 before processing.
[0041] Specifically, the positioning block group 4 includes a reference block 41, a first support block 42 and a second support block 43, and the number of each of them is at least two.

Such a design ensures the precise positioning of the workpiece 18 before processing.
[0042] The first clamping cylinder group 6 includes at least two lifting cylinders 61, which are arranged on both sides of the axis of the base plate 3. When clamping the workpiece 18, the lifting cylinder 61 descends, and the pressure heads on both sides respectively press the convex top surface 184 and the concave top surface 185 of the workpiece 18, thereby ensuring the stability of the workpiece 18 during the processing.
[0043] The second clamping cylinder group 8 includes at least two push-pull cylinders 81, which are arranged below the base plate 3 through a connecting plate 82. The output end of the push-pull cylinder 81 is hinged with a rocker 9 passing through the base plate 3, and a short shaft 10 passing through the rocker 9 is also arranged in the middle of the rocker 9, and both ends of the short shaft 10 are installed in the shaft grooves reserved on the base plate 3. When positioning, the rocker 9 presses the workpiece 18 tightly against the positioning block group 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the workpiece 18 during the processing.
[0044] The positioning cylinder group 4 includes a positioning column 141 arranged at one end of the base plate 3 and an axial cylinder 142 at the other end. During positioning, the output end of the axial cylinder 142 and the positioning column 141 are respectively fitted with the two end surfaces of the workpiece 18, thereby ensuring the accurate positioning of the workpiece 18 during the processing.
[0045] In addition, a driven rotating assembly 15 is provided at the other end of the base plate 3, which is fixed on the base 1 and coaxial with the spindle box 2. A rotating boss is provided on the opposite side of the driven rotating assembly 15 and the spindle box 2, and both ends of the base plate 3 are fixed to the rotating boss by bolts. Such a design allows the base plate 3 to rotate during the processing, thereby facilitating the processing of different parts of the workpiece 18.
