[0029] Embodiment:

[0030] The embodiment of the present application discloses a clamping device for aircraft parts processing and production. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , including.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-3, A clamping device for aircraft component processing and production, including a workbench 1. Two guiding grooves 2 are parallelly opened on the top surface of the workbench 1, and two guiding blocks 4 are slidably installed in each guiding groove 2. A bidirectional screw 3 is rotatably installed in each of the two guiding grooves 2 of the workbench 1 through a shaft seat. The two guiding blocks 4 are respectively threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 3 through threaded holes. A first threaded column 6 is welded to the top of the guiding block 4, and a support member 5 is sleeved on the surface of the first threaded column 6. And a hexagonal nut 8 that abuts against the support member 5 is screwed on the surface of the first threaded column 6. A contact block 9 is welded to the top surface of the support member 5, and an arc surface 10 is provided on the top surface of the contact block 9. And a second threaded column 11 welded to the support member 5 is provided on the left side of the contact block 9. A clamping member 12 is sleeved on the surface of the second threaded column 11. And bent portions 14 are integrally cast at both ends of the clamping member 12. And a butterfly nut 13 that contacts the clamping member 12 is screwed on the upper part of the second threaded column 11. In order to avoid unnecessary obstruction to the clamping of aircraft components by the first threaded column 6, the height of the first threaded column 6 is lower than the height of the second threaded column 11. In order to increase the reliability of clamping of automotive components, a support member 5 is respectively provided at the four corners of the top surface of the workbench 1. The cross-sections of the guiding groove 2 and the guiding block 4 are both inverted T-shaped structures. Through the guiding block 4 with a threaded hole, on the one hand, it serves as a sliding component that cooperates with the guiding groove 2, and on the other hand, it serves as a threaded connection component with the bidirectional screw 3.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , An adjustment hole 7 with an oblate structure is opened on the right side of the surface of the support member 5, and the inner dimension of the adjustment hole 7 is adapted to the diameter of the first threaded column 6. Through the setting of the adjustment hole 7, it is easy to adjust the position of the support member 5 to meet the clamping requirements of aircraft components of different sizes.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Two sets of threads with opposite directions are provided on the surface of the bidirectional screw 3. The two guiding blocks 4 in the guiding groove 2 are respectively connected to the two sets of threads. Through the two sets of threads with opposite directions, it is easy for the two guiding blocks 4 to move towards or away from each other, which is suitable for clamping aircraft components of different sizes.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , The clamping member 12 is composed of an oblate metal member with a central hole and the bent portions 14 on both sides thereof. Through the oblate metal member of the clamping member 12, it is convenient to keep sleeved with the second threaded column 11. Through the bent portions 14 of the clamping member 12, it is convenient to contact and fix the aircraft components.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1, a disc-shaped handwheel is fixedly connected to the side of the workbench 1 corresponding to the bidirectional screw 3. A ball bearing is provided at the connection between the bidirectional screw 3 and the guide groove 2. Through the settings of the ball bearing and the disc-shaped handwheel, the rotational installation of the bidirectional screw 3 is facilitated, and the adjustment of the distance between the two guide blocks 4 is convenient.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the radian of the arc surface 10 on the top surface of the contact block 9 is adapted to the arc surface radian of the aircraft component. Through the setting of the arc surface 10, it is easy to provide adaptive support for the arc surface of the aircraft component. In order to be applicable to aircraft components with different radian, the radian of the arc surface 10 of the contact block 9 can be prefabricated into different specifications and belong to different support members 5.

[0037] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, first rotate the bidirectional screw 3 installed in the guide groove 2 to cause the two guide blocks 4 with threaded holes to move towards or away from each other along the surface of the bidirectional screw 3, so that the two guide blocks 4 drive the corresponding support members 5 to move towards or away from each other respectively. Then, push the support member 5 horizontally along the workbench 1, so that the first threaded post 6 of the guide block 4 moves in the oval adjustment hole 7 on the surface of the support member 5 to adjust the position of the contact block 9, so as to adjust the positions of multiple support members 5 on the workbench 1 according to the size of the aircraft component to be clamped. When the positions of multiple support members 5 meet the size of the aircraft component to be clamped, the aircraft component is brought into contact with the contact block 9 on the support member 5, and then the wing nut 13 on the surface of the second threaded post 11 is rotated to cause the wing nut 13 to move downward to drive the clamping member 12 to move downward synchronously, so that the bent portions 14 at both ends of the clamping member 12 abut against the top surface of the aircraft component corresponding to the contact block 9. When it is necessary to clamp aircraft components with different arc surfaces, unlock the hexagon nut 8 on the surface of the first threaded post 6, disassemble this support member 5, and replace it with a support member 5 that conforms to the arc surface of the corresponding aircraft component, so that the arc surface 10 of the contact block 9 on this support member 5 matches the arc surface of the aircraft component.

[0038] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application, and the protection scope of this application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
