It should also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A positioning tool for horizontal machining equipment includes a workbench 1, on which six groups of clamping mechanisms 2 are provided. Four limiting columns 3 are provided on both sides of the clamping mechanisms 2. A workstation 4 is formed between the clamping mechanisms 2 and the limiting columns 3, that is, there is a workstation 4 on each side of the clamping mechanism 2. A plurality of blanking through holes 11 are provided on the workbench 1, and each workstation 4 has two blanking through holes 11.

[0030] Rectangular hardware accessories can be assembled in the work station 4, and the hardware accessories are clamped under the action of the clamping mechanism 2 and the limit column 3. Specifically, 12 hardware accessories can be installed and fixed on the workbench 1 at the same time, so that the equipment can process 12 hardware accessories at one time and then unload them in a unified manner. Only one shutdown is required during the period, which increases work efficiency; the blanking through hole 11 is used to transport waste generated by the processing of hardware accessories, and the waste falls from the blanking through hole 11.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism 2 includes two fixed blocks 21, two clamping blocks 22, a push block 23, and a movable rod 24. The fixed block 21 is fixed to the workbench 1, the clamping block 22 is movably mounted on the fixed block 21, the push block 23 is movably mounted between the two clamping blocks 22, and the movable rod 24 is mounted inside the push block 23 and inserted into the workbench 1. A slide groove 211 is provided on the top of the fixed block 21, and the clamping block 22 is adapted to and located in the slide groove 211. The inner side of the clamping block 22 is an inclined structure and is provided with an inclined groove 221. Slide blocks 231 adapted to the inclined groove 221 are provided on both sides of the push block 23, and the slide blocks 231 are located in the inclined groove 221.

[0032] The descent of the movable rod 24 can drive the push block 23 to descend. When the push block 23 descends, due to the cooperation of the special shapes of the push block 23 and the clamping block 22, the clamping block 22 will move to both sides, and then cooperate with the limit column 3 to clamp the hardware accessories in the work station 4.

[0033] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 2 further includes a return spring 25 , which is sleeved on the movable rod 24 , with one end of the return spring 25 in contact with the bottom surface of the push block 23 and the other end in contact with the top surface of the workbench 1 .

[0034] The reset spring 25 plays a role of reset. When the push block 23 is no longer exerting force, the reset spring 25 can automatically reset the push block 23, thereby driving the clamping block 22 to reset, making it easier to remove the hardware accessories.

[0035] Furthermore, six cylinders 5 are provided at the bottom of the workbench 1. The number of cylinders 5 is consistent with the clamping mechanism 2. The position of the cylinder 5 corresponds to the movable rod 24. The movable rod 24 is installed on the output shaft of the cylinder 5. That is, in this embodiment, the descent of the movable rod 24 is controlled by the cylinder 5, and the degree of mechanization is high.

[0036] Furthermore, a flange 222 extending outward is provided on the top of the clamping block 22. The flange 222 and the clamping block 22 are an integrated structure. The flange 222 can limit the five accessories in the vertical direction.

[0037] Furthermore, the height of the slider 231 is half of the height of the push block 23 .

[0038] In order to facilitate the operation of all cylinders 5, all cylinders 5 are supplied with air by the same air compressor.

[0039] The utility model is a positioning tool used for horizontal machining equipment. Its working principle is explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0040] The workbench 1 can be fixedly mounted on the mobile platform of the horizontal machining equipment. The hardware accessories to be processed are assembled into the workstation 4. The air compressor is started, and the cylinder 5 is driven to lower the movable rod 24. When the movable rod 24 is lowered, the push block 23 is driven to lower. The clamping block 22 moves to both sides, and then cooperates with the limit column 3 to clamp the hardware accessories in the workstation 4, facilitating the processing of the hardware accessories. For example, the hardware accessories can be drilled through the horizontal machining equipment, and the drilled hole is directly opposite the blanking hole 11. The waste chips generated by the drilling fall through the blanking hole 11.

[0041] The workbench 1 of the present invention is provided with 6 groups of clamping mechanisms 2, and each group of clamping mechanisms 2 and the limiting columns 3 on both sides thereof form a work station 4, that is, 1 group of clamping mechanisms 2 corresponds to 2 work stations 4, and 12 hardware accessories can be installed and fixed at the same time, so that the equipment can process 12 hardware accessories at one time and then unload them uniformly, during which only one shutdown is required, thereby increasing work efficiency.

[0042] The workbench of the utility model is provided with 6 groups of clamping mechanisms, each group of clamping mechanisms and the limiting columns on both sides thereof form a work station, that is, 1 group of clamping mechanisms corresponds to 2 work stations, and 12 hardware accessories can be installed and fixed at the same time, so that the equipment can process 12 hardware accessories at one time and then unload them uniformly, during which only one shutdown is required, thereby increasing work efficiency.

[0043] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention.
