[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment discloses a milling clamping unit, comprising a fixed base 240, a connecting sleeve 210, an expanding core 220, a tensioning chuck 230, and a first driving member 250. The connecting sleeve 210 is embedded in the fixed base 240; the tensioning chuck 230 is connected to the connecting sleeve 210 and is provided with a plurality of openable and closable clamping petals 231; the expanding core 220 is movably connected to the connecting sleeve 210, and the upper portion of the expanding core 220 is a conical structure with a smaller upper portion and a larger lower portion; the output end of the first driving member 250 is disposed through the connecting sleeve 210 and connected to the expanding core 220, and is capable of driving the expanding core 220 to abut against the tensioning chuck 230 to open the clamping petals 231. When the first driving member 250 drives the expanding core 220 upward, the upward movement of the expanding core 220, due to its conical structure with a narrow top and a wide bottom, generates an expansion force on the tensioning chuck 230, thereby expanding the tensioning chuck 230. The expanded tensioning chuck 230 then secures the workpiece 400 with a strong and stable grip. When the first driving member 250 drives the expanding core 220 downward, the tensioning chuck 230 loses the pressure from the expanding core 220 and contracts to restore its original shape, releasing the workpiece 400. This achieves automatic clamping and loosening, automatically controlling the clamping force, ensuring uniform, repeatable clamping force, improving clamping and positioning accuracy, increasing productivity, and reducing defect rates, thereby lowering processing costs.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 3The connecting sleeve 210 includes a chassis 211 and a plurality of limiting posts 212, which are evenly distributed around the chassis 211 to form a limiting space. The expansion core 220 moves up and down within the limiting space along the limiting posts 212, causing the tensioning chuck 230 to expand or contract, thereby clamping or releasing the workpiece 400. It should be noted that the chassis 211 is provided with a circular hole to facilitate the output end of the first driving member 250 to pass through the chassis 211 and connect to the expansion core 220.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The expanding core 220 is provided with a groove 221. The expanding core 220 is movably embedded in the limiting space, and the groove 221 is engaged with the limiting post 212. The size of the groove 221 matches the size of the limiting post 212. When the first driving member 250 drives the expanding core 220 upward, the expanding core 220 moves along the limiting post 212 through the groove 221. During the upward movement, the expanding core 220 generates an expansion force on the tensioning chuck 230, thereby expanding the tensioning chuck 230. After expansion, the tensioning chuck 230 forms a strong and stable clamping force on the workpiece 400.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The fixing base 240 is provided with a through hole 241, and the connecting sleeve 210 is embedded in the through hole 241. The expansion core 220 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 250. The first driving member 250 drives the expansion core 220 to move up and down, thereby expanding or contracting the tensioning chuck 230, thereby clamping or releasing the workpiece 400.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The tensioning chuck 230 is covered with a dust cover 232 to prevent dust or debris from falling into the gap between the two clamping petals 231, thereby ensuring the clamping positioning accuracy.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 6 This embodiment further provides a milling tool, comprising the above-mentioned milling clamping unit and a base 100 , wherein the milling clamping unit is mounted on the base 100 .
[0038] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The base 100 includes a bottom plate 110, a vertical plate 120, and a base plate 130. The vertical plate 120 is perpendicularly connected to the bottom plate 110, and the base plate 130 is mounted on the vertical plate 120. Specifically, there are two vertical plates 120, which are parallel to each other. A baffle 140 is installed between the two vertical plates 120 and is arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate. The vertical plate 120 supports the base plate 130, so that the milling clamping unit can be mounted on the base plate 130.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The number of the milling processing clamping units is multiple, and the multiple milling processing clamping units are distributed in a queue on the base plate 110. It can clamp multiple workpieces 400 at the same time, realize multi-station simultaneous processing, and improve processing efficiency.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 A positioning member 310 and a second driving member 320 are mounted on the substrate 130. The positioning member 310 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 320. The positioning member 310 is provided with a plurality of positioning slots 311. Specifically, the positioning member 310 can be a plate-shaped, rod-shaped or block-shaped structure.
[0041] It should be noted that the first driving member 320 is an oil cylinder or an air cylinder, and the second driving member 320 is a linear bearing or an air cylinder.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first driving member 250 is a hydraulic cylinder. A hydraulic pipe connector 150 is mounted on the base plate 110. This connector 150 is equipped with a hydraulic pipe joint 151, which connects to the hydraulic cylinder. The milling fixture is connected to an external hydraulic station via the hydraulic pipe joint 151, enabling automatic clamping and release of the workpiece 400.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Handles 160 are provided on both sides of the base 100 to facilitate grabbing and moving operations, thereby improving work efficiency and safety.
[0044] During use, the workpiece 400 to be processed is connected to an external oil station via the oil pipe connector 111, and the workpiece 400 to be processed is placed on the tensioning chuck 230. The jig is activated, and the second driving member 320 drives the positioning member 310 to move onto the workpiece 400, aligning the positioning slot 311 with the top of the workpiece 400. The first driving member 250 then drives the expanding core 220 upward. Because the expanding core 220 has a conical structure with a narrow top and a large bottom, the upward movement exerts an expansion force on the tensioning chuck 230, thereby expanding the expanding chuck 230. Once expanded, the expanding chuck 230 secures the workpiece 400 with a strong and stable grip. After processing, the first driving member 250 drives the expanding core 220 downward. Losing the compression from the expanding core 220, the tensioning chuck 230 contracts to return to its original shape, releasing the workpiece 400. The second driving member 320 then returns the positioning member 310 to its original position, allowing the processed workpiece 400 to be removed. A clamping method using support instead of clamping is adopted to achieve automatic clamping and loosening. The clamping force is automatically controlled by the first driving member 250 to achieve uniform repeated clamping force and high stability, improve clamping positioning accuracy, increase productivity, reduce defective rate, and thus reduce processing costs.

Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
