A first support arm and a second support arm are arranged between the second side of the base adjacent to the first side of the base and the second side of the clamping platform adjacent to the first side of the clamping platform. Another first support arm and another second support arm are arranged between the third side of the base adjacent to the first side of the base and the third side of the clamping platform adjacent to the first side of the clamping platform. The locking device is arranged at one or more of the two first support arms and the two second support arms for locking the opening and closing degree of the clamping platform.

[0007] In one embodiment, angle scales are marked on the first support arm and / or the second support arm.

[0017] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0018] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an adjustable-angle tooling according to an embodiment. The adjustable-angle tooling includes: a base 1, a clamping platform 2, two first support arms 3, two second support arms 4, a lock 5, and a hinge adjustment mechanism 6.

[0019] The base 1 can be fixed on a machine tool workbench (for example, the workbench of a three-axis machining center). The clamping platform 2 is a platform for fixing a workpiece, and its surface has many threaded holes to facilitate fixing the workpiece.

[0020] The clamping platform 2 is connected to the base 1 through a hinge adjustment mechanism 6. Specifically, the hinge adjustment mechanism 6 connects the first side of the base 1 to the first side of the clamping platform 2 and functions to center and adjust the angle, so that the clamping platform 2 can rotate or open / close relative to the base 1. A first support arm 3 and a second support arm 4 are provided between the second side of the base 1 adjacent to the first side of the base 1 and the second side of the clamping platform 2 adjacent to the first side of the clamping platform 2, and another first support arm 3 and another second support arm 4 are provided between the third side of the base 1 adjacent to the first side of the base 1 and the third side of the clamping platform 2 adjacent to the first side of the clamping platform 2. The clamping platform 2 can rotate or open / close along with the first support arm 3 and the second support arm 4. In one embodiment, the adjustable-angle tooling includes two or more hinge adjustment mechanisms 6.

[0021] In one embodiment, the first support arm 3 and the second support arm 4 are arc-shaped. In one embodiment, angle scales are engraved on the first support arm 3 and / or the second support arm 4. When the clamping platform 2 rotates to reach the corresponding angle engraved on the support arm, the clamping platform 2 can be fixed at the corresponding position using a lock 5. In one embodiment, there are corresponding angle scales on the outer surface of the first support arm 3 and no scales on the second support arm 4.

[0022] In one embodiment, the lock 5 can be arranged at the second support arm 4. In one embodiment, the lock 5 can be arranged at any one of the two second support arms 4. In one embodiment, the lock 5 can be arranged at each of the two second support arms 4. In one embodiment, the lock 5 can be arranged at the first support arm 3. The lock 5 can be arranged at any one of the two first support arms 3 or at each of the two first support arms 3. In one embodiment, the lock 5 can be arranged at the first support arm 3 and the second support arm 4.

[0023] In one embodiment, one or more bearings 7 ( Figure 1 two are shown in the figure) are provided on the clamping platform 2, which are used to facilitate rotation when processing circular workpieces such as heads and large flanges.

[0024] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of the hinge adjustment mechanism at different angles. The hinge adjustment mechanism can include a movable hinge 8 and a fixed hinge 9.

[0025] During the processing, first, according to the processing requirements of the workpiece, the inclination angle of the clamping platform is adjusted through the rotary hinge adjusting mechanism. After the adjustment is completed, it is fixed by the locking device. Then, the workpiece is installed on the fixture, and the three-axis machining center is started for processing. Since the tooling of the present application has the function of adjustable angle, the machining of the workpiece in different directions can be realized without changing the structure of the three-axis machining center itself.
