[0020] In the above embodiment, the four-axis internal expansion clamping device includes a positioning plate 1, two internal expansion plates 2, a pressure plate 3, two screws 4, two pressure columns 5 and two nuts 6. The positioning plate 1 is arranged horizontally and has two vertical positioning holes. Preferably, the two positioning holes are arranged along the width direction of the positioning plate 1 ( Figure 1 The two inner expansions 2 are symmetrically arranged along the midline on the front-to-back direction of the axis. The two inner expansions 2 correspond to and are connected to the two positioning through holes one by one. The two inner expansions 2 are fixed on the top surface of the positioning plate 1 by screws or bolts. The middle part of each inner expansion 2 has a through hole that passes through in the vertical direction, and the top inner wall of the through hole is an inverted frustum structure. The pressure plate 3 is movably arranged below the positioning plate 1. The pressure plate 3 has two vertically arranged connecting through holes, each of which is connected to the adjacent positioning through holes and is coaxially arranged; two screw rods 4 are respectively inserted into the mutually connected positioning through holes and connecting through holes, and a pressure column 5 is fixed to the upper end of each screw rod 4. The top outer wall of the pressure column 5 is an inverted frustum structure that matches the top inner wall of the inner expansion 2. The lower end of each screw rod 4 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 3 by a nut 6, so that the screw rod 4 and the pressure plate 3 are connected to form a whole.
[0021] When in use, place the workpiece on the inner expansion 2, and the clamping jaws 7 on all sides drive the pressure plate 3 to move downward, the pressure plate 3 drives the screw 4, and the screw 4 drives the pressure column 5 to move downward. During the downward movement of the pressure column 5, the inner expansion 2 is supported by the inverted frustum structure, so that the inner expansion 2 clamps the workpiece; after the processing is completed, the four-axis clamping jaws 7 release the pressure plate 3, the pressure plate 3 moves up, the pressure plate 3 drives the screw 4, and the screw 4 drives the pressure column 5 to move upward to reset, so that the inner expansion is reset and the workpiece is released, and finally the workpiece can be taken out.
[0022] The four-axis internal expansion clamping device of the utility model has a one-out-two structure, which can clamp two products at the same time, thereby improving production efficiency; the overall structure of the device is simple, the production cost is low, and it can be used for both general and special purposes; the clamping and relaxation of the internal expansion can be controlled by driving the four-axis clamping jaws, and the operation is simple and safe, and no professional operator is required.
[0023] In another embodiment, a pressure block 8 is fixed on the inner wall of the four-axis clamp 7, and the bottom surface of the pressure block 8 is a first inclined surface inclined inward and upward, and the top surface of the pressure plate 3 is provided with a second inclined surface inclined outward and downward on both sides to cooperate with the first inclined surface.
[0024] In the above embodiment, the downward movement of the pressing plate 3 is controlled by driving the four-axis clamp 7 by providing a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface that cooperate with each other on the bottom surface of the pressing block 8 and the top surface of the pressing plate 3. Specifically, the four-axis clamp 7 is controlled to drive the left and right pressing blocks 8 to move inward, and the first inclined surface on the pressing block 8 presses the pressing plate 3 downward, causing the pressing plate 3 to move downward.
[0025] In another embodiment, at least two vertically arranged upright plates 9 are provided below the pressure plate 3, and a vertically arranged guide groove is provided on the top of the upright plate 9. An elastic member 10 is embedded in the guide groove, and the top of the elastic member 10 is connected to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 3.
[0026] In the above embodiment, the elastic member 10 can provide an upward restoring force for the pressure plate 3. Specifically, during the downward movement of the pressure plate 3, the elastic member 10 is compressed, accumulating energy. After the four-axis clamp 7 releases the pressure plate 3, the elastic member 10 extends, driving the pressure plate 3 to move upward.
[0027] In another embodiment, a guide through hole cooperating with the guide groove is provided on the pressure plate 3 , a guide rod 11 is inserted into the guide through hole, and the upper end of the guide rod 11 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 1 .

[0029] In another embodiment, the elastic member 10 is a spring.
[0030] In another embodiment, a horizontally arranged bottom plate 12 is fixedly provided below the vertical plate 9 .
[0031] In the above embodiment, the bottom plate 12 is used to support the vertical plate 9 and is connected to the vertical plate 9 to form a whole. In addition, the bottom plate 12 is also fixed to the support base of the four-axis clamp 7 by screws or bolts.
[0032] Principle: The four-axis internal expansion clamping device uses a control panel to control the four-axis clamping jaws 7 to control the clamping and loosening of the internal expansion 2. When the workpiece is placed on the internal expansion 2, the four-axis clamping jaws 7 are controlled to drive the left and right pressure blocks 8 to move inward. The first inclined surface of the bottom surface of the pressure block 8 presses the pressure plate 3 downward. The pressure plate 3 pulls down the pressure column 5 through the screw 4. The pressure column 5 pushes the internal expansion 2 downward, so that the internal expansion 2 clamps the workpiece; after processing is completed, the four-axis clamping jaws 7 drive the left and right pressure blocks 8 to move outward. The pressure block 8 releases the pressure plate 3. Under the action of the spring, the pressure plate 3 moves upward, and the pressure column 5 also moves upward at the same time. The internal expansion 2 is reset, and the workpiece is released and can be removed.
