[0002] A jig refers to a device used in the mechanical manufacturing process to fix a processing object, make it occupy the correct position, and accept construction or inspection, also known as a fixture. When machining a workpiece on a machine tool, in order to make the surface of the workpiece meet the technical requirements such as the dimensions, geometric shapes, and mutual position accuracies with other surfaces specified in the drawing, the workpiece must be positioned and clamped before machining.

[0003] For clamping workpieces with specific shapes, corresponding clamping tools are required, such as a clamp body. Due to its complex processing steps and requirements for precision, especially for the larger front clamp body, its fixed machining is more difficult, and relatively higher requirements are put forward for the stability of fixture fixation.

[0031] Next, some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments will be further elaborated. Any one or a combination of multiple of the following embodiments can be selected.

[0032] As Figure 3 shown, the positioning columns 43 and the ball socket rods 44 are installed on a first fixing plate 6, and the first fixing plate 6 is detachably installed on the platform 1 through spring pins 8, which is convenient for the disassembly, replacement and repair of components.

[0033] Further, a pair of symmetrically arranged limiting rods 46 are installed on the first fixing plate 6 for limiting the position of the workpiece 3 to be processed.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping part 41 includes: a first oil cylinder 411; a first clamping member 412, which is rotatably arranged on the output end of the first oil cylinder 411, and its top extends toward the workpiece 3 to be processed, and an observation hole is opened on the first clamping member 412, and a resistance rod is arranged on the hole groove of the observation hole, and the resistance rod is used to directly contact and press the workpiece 3 to be processed downward; a first fixing member 413 is installed on the platform 1 and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first clamping member 412, serving as a fulcrum for the deflection of the first clamping member 412. When the first clamping part 41 is working, the first oil cylinder 411 is started to push the first clamping member 412 upward, and the first clamping member 412 begins to rotate toward the workpiece 3 to be processed with the first fixing member 413 as the center of the circle until the resistance rod contacts and presses the workpiece 3 to be processed, thereby fixing one side of the workpiece 3 to be processed.

When the centering clamping part 42 is working, the second oil cylinder 421 drives the rotating member 422 to rotate, and drives the centering block 423 installed on the rotating member 422 to contact the workpiece 3 to be processed. Under the action of the arc guide at the bottom of the centering block 423, it is automatically centered and presses the workpiece 3 to be processed from both sides.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the second clamp 5 is mounted on the platform 1 via a second fixing plate 7, and the second fixing plate 7 is also detachably mounted on the platform 1 via a spring pin 8. A pair of auxiliary support blocks 54 are provided on the second fixing plate 7, and the auxiliary support blocks 54 are used to strengthen the structural strength of the second clamp 5.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, at least two of the first clamps 4 and the second clamps 5 are respectively installed on one surface of the platform 1.

[0039] Specifically, under the action of the four-axis machining center 2, the platform 1 can rotate to perform the machining process, and multi-axis machining improves production efficiency.

[0040] During use, first perform the first process. Place the workpiece 3 to be machined at the corresponding position on the first fixture 4, align the ball socket groove 32 and the positioning groove 31 on the workpiece 3 to be machined with the ball socket rod 44 and the positioning post 43 respectively. Then start the first oil cylinder 411 to make the first pressing part 41 press one side of the workpiece 3 to be machined, and start the second oil cylinder 421 to make the centering and clamping part 42 automatically center and clamp the other side of the workpiece 3 to be machined. Finally, drive the auxiliary support 45 by the third oil cylinder 47 to support the hole surface of the cylinder hole 33 of the workpiece 3 to be machined.

[0041] After the workpiece 3 to be machined after preliminary machining is removed, use the four-axis machining center 2 to rotate the platform 1 and turn it to the other side of the platform 1.

[0042] Similarly, place the workpiece 3 to be machined on the second fixture 5, insert the locking post 52 into the locking hole 34, start the fourth oil cylinder 531, and drive the second pressing part 532 to press the workpiece 3 to be machined for the next machining operation.
