Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a centering clamping mechanism for a numerical control milling machine, including a parallel jaw vice and a chuck. The parallel jaw vice includes a base 1 and a pair of jaws 2. The pair of jaws 2 are slidably installed on the base 1. A double-headed threaded rod 3 is rotatably installed on the base 1. The double-headed threaded rod 3 is threadedly connected to the pair of jaws 2. The chuck includes a disc body 11. A third chute 12 is provided at the lower end of the disc body 11. A pair of slide blocks 19 are slidably installed in the third chute 12. Insert plates 5 are provided at the lower ends of the pair of slide blocks 19. Slots 20 are provided on the pair of jaws 2. The insert plates 5 are inserted into the slots 20. A pair of first jaws 9 and a pair of second jaws 13 are provided at the upper part of the disc body 11. A centering transmission mechanism is connected between the first jaws 9, the second jaws 13 and the slide blocks 19;

[0022] When using the parallel jaw vice as a clamping tool for a numerical control milling machine, separate the chuck from the parallel jaw vice, rotate the double-headed threaded rod 3 to make the pair of jaws 2 move towards each other, thereby clamping the workpiece. When using the chuck as a clamping tool for a numerical control milling machine, insert the insert plate 5 at the lower end of the chuck into the slot 20 of the jaw 2, rotate the double-headed threaded rod 3 to make the pair of jaws 2 drive the slide blocks 19 to move through the insert plates 5, and the slide blocks 19 drive the first jaws 9 and the second jaws 13 to move through the centering transmission mechanism to clamp the workpiece.

[0023] Further, the thread leads at both ends of the double-headed threaded rod 3 are equal and the helix directions are opposite. One end of the double-headed threaded rod 3 is connected to a handle 4;

[0024] Through the setting of the above technical solution, it can be realized that when the double-headed threaded rod 3 is rotated, the moving speeds of the pair of jaws 2 are the same, thereby realizing the centering clamping of the workpiece.

[0025] Further, a first sliding groove 10 and a second sliding groove 18 are provided on the upper part of the disk body 11. The first sliding groove 10 and the second sliding groove 18 are arranged in a cross shape. A pair of the first clamping jaws 9 are slidably connected to the first sliding groove 10, and a pair of the second clamping jaws 13 are slidably connected to the second sliding groove 18;

[0026] Further, the centering transmission mechanism includes a first gear 7 and a second gear 17 rotatably installed in the disk body 11.

[0028] Further, the number of teeth and the module of the first gear 7 and the second gear 17 are the same, and the number of teeth and the module of the first bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 16 are the same;

[0029] Through the setting of the above technical solution, when the double-headed threaded rod 3 is rotated, the moving speeds of a pair of first clamping jaws 9 and a pair of second clamping jaws 13 can be the same, so as to realize the centering clamping of the workpiece.

[0030] Embodiment: When using a bench vise as a clamping tool for a CNC milling machine, separate the chuck from the bench vise. Rotate the double-headed threaded rod 3 through the handle 4 to make a pair of jaws 2 move towards each other, thereby clamping the workpiece. When using the chuck as a clamping tool for the CNC milling machine, insert the insertion plate 5 at the lower end of the chuck into the slot 20 of the jaw 2, rotate the double-headed threaded rod 3 to make a pair of jaws 2 move away from each other. The pair of jaws 2 drive the slider 19 to move in the third chute 12 through the insertion plate 5. The third rack 6 on the upper part of the slider 19 drives a pair of first gears 7 to rotate. The first gear 7 drives a pair of first jaws 9 to move closer to each other in the first chute 10 through the first rack 8. At the same time, the first gear 7 drives the second gear 17 to rotate through the first bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 16. The second gear 17 drives a pair of second jaws 13 to move closer to each other in the second chute 18, thereby clamping the workpiece through a pair of first jaws 9 and a pair of second jaws 13.
