[0039] See also Figure 1-7 The utility model provides a technical solution: a wheel hub processing clamping mechanism, comprising a base plate 1, wherein the top surface of the base plate 1 is provided with an annular groove, wherein a plurality of positioning columns 2 for matching with the bolt holes of the wheel hub casting are provided in the annular groove;

[0040] A cover plate 3 is provided on the top surface of the substrate 1. The cover plate 3 is detachably fixed to the substrate 1.

During the processing, the base plate 1 can be pushed to rotate, so as to facilitate the processing of the wheel hub casting fixed thereon.
