[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, the self-centering vise of the present invention includes a transition plate 01 for installation on external processing equipment. A transmission body 02 is fixedly mounted on the transition plate 01 via fasteners. A centering assembly and a left trapezoidal block 04 and a right trapezoidal block 05 are fixedly mounted at the center of the transmission body 02. A drive shaft 06 is provided within the transmission body 02 to drive the left and right trapezoidal blocks 04 and 05 to move synchronously toward and against each other. The drive shaft 06 is rotatably mounted on the centering assembly. During use, the operator places a workpiece on the centering assembly to perform preliminary positioning on the workpiece. Then, by rotating the drive shaft 06, the left and right trapezoidal blocks 04 and 05 are driven to move synchronously toward the centering assembly to clamp the workpiece. This achieves both clamping and positioning of the workpiece.

[0020] The transmission body 02 is provided with a horizontal sliding groove 07 that passes through the centering assembly. The centering assembly is provided with a vertical mounting groove 08 in the middle, and the mounting groove 08 and the sliding groove 07 are connected. The centering assembly is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 08 by fasteners, and the left trapezoidal block 04 and the right trapezoidal block 05 are both slidably arranged in the sliding groove 07.

[0021] It should be noted that the left trapezoidal block 04 and the right trapezoidal block 05 have the same structure. The left trapezoidal block 04 includes a sliding block 09 slidably mounted within a sliding slot 07 and a connecting base 10 located above the transmission body 02. The connecting base 10 and the sliding block 09 are fixedly connected through an integral molding process. A tooth plate 11 is fixed to the top of the connecting base 10 via fasteners. When clamping a workpiece, the tooth plate 11 is used to provide the clamping force.

[0022] The two sides of the sliding block 09 are set on the guide plate 12, and the two side walls of the sliding groove 07 are provided with guide grooves 13 adapted to the guide plates 12. Through the cooperation of the guide plates 12 and the guide grooves 13, the left trapezoidal block 04 and the right trapezoidal block 05 are installed in the sliding groove 07 and move.

[0023] The centering assembly includes a positioning seat 14 installed in the mounting groove 08 and a top seat 15 located on the transmission body 02. The positioning seat 14 and the top seat 15 are fixedly installed on the transmission body 02 by fasteners. The top seat 15 abuts against the positioning seat 14. The above-mentioned drive shaft 06 is rotatably mounted on the positioning seat 14. The top seat 15 is provided with a mounting hole 16 and a through hole 17 coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 16. The diameter of the mounting hole 16 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 17. A centering shaft 18 is provided in the mounting hole 16. The end of the centering shaft 18 passes through the through hole 17 and extends to the outside of the top seat 15. A spring 19 is sleeved on the centering shaft 18. The spring 19 is located in the mounting hole 16. One end of the spring 19 abuts against the centering shaft 18, and the other end abuts against the top surface of the positioning seat 14. When the centering shaft 18 is pressed to move toward the positioning seat 14, the spring 19 is compressed. After the pressing force is removed, the centering shaft 18 moves upward under the action of the spring 19 , so that the centering shaft 18 is elastically mounted on the positioning seat 14 .

[0024] A retaining ring 20 adapted to the mounting hole 16 is provided on the centering shaft 18. The retaining ring 20 is located in the mounting hole 16, and the above-mentioned spring 19 abuts against the retaining ring 20 and is sleeved on the centering shaft 18.

[0025] A shoulder 21 is provided on the middle portion of the drive shaft 06. The positioning seat 14 is provided with a through hole adapted to the shoulder 21. The shoulder 21 is provided with a semicircular groove 22. Several steel balls are evenly distributed in the groove 22. The arrangement of the steel balls enables the drive shaft 06 to rotate freely and stably on the positioning seat 14. A left-handed external thread 23 and a right-handed external thread 24 are provided on both sides of the shoulder 21, respectively. The sliding block 09 on the left trapezoidal block 04 is provided with a left-handed threaded hole adapted to the left-handed external thread 23, and the sliding block 09 on the right trapezoidal block 05 is provided with a right-handed threaded hole adapted to the right-handed external thread 24. By providing the left-handed external thread 23 and the right-handed external thread 24 on the drive shaft 06, when the drive shaft 06 rotates, the left trapezoidal block 04 and the right trapezoidal block 05 move synchronously toward and away from each other within the sliding groove 07.

[0026] It should be noted that, for the sake of clarity of description, the fasteners described in this application are any one of screws, bolts, and screws.

[0027] If the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), such directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
