Technical Field

[0002] Metal pipes are tubular materials made from metal. Through various processing techniques, they can be transformed into metal accessories with different functions. They are a crucial component of many industrial machinery. During further processing, they require a fixed clamp to prevent them from moving during processing, thereby preventing any interruption in the machining process.
[0003] A fixture is a process device used to quickly secure a workpiece during machining, maintaining the correct relative position of the machine tool, cutting tool, and workpiece. This means fixtures are indispensable components in machining. Driven by the development of machine tool technology toward high speed, efficiency, precision, integration, intelligence, and environmental friendliness, fixture technology is also evolving toward high precision, efficiency, modularity, combination, universality, and cost-effectiveness.
[0004] Traditional clamping devices can fix and clamp metal pipes to prevent them from shaking during processing. However, pipes are difficult to rotate when clamped by traditional clamping devices. During processing, the position of the processing operation head can only be changed to perform processing, which is inconvenient to use. In addition, most traditional clamping devices are prone to having a small clamping area, which easily leads to unstable clamping due to small force. This causes the steel pipe to often shake and shift in position during processing, and most clamping tools are not adjustable and cannot perform clamping operations on metal pipes of different sizes. Therefore, it is urgent to design a clamping device for metal pipe processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
