[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 5 , the embodiment provided by the utility model:

[0026] A clamp for CNC machining of aluminum alloy plates comprises two mounting plates 1, both mounting plates 1 are symmetrically mounted with a limiting mechanism 7, the limiting mechanism 7 comprising a U-shaped frame 71, a handle bolt 72, a pressure plate 73 and a column 74, the U-shaped frame 71 being fixed to the mounting plate 1, the screw connection of the U-shaped frame 71 passing through the handle bolt 72, and the end of the handle bolt 72 being connected to the pressure plate 73 via a bearing fit. The limiting mechanism 7 is provided for clamping and fixing a workpiece placed on the surface of the mounting plate 1, the surface of the workpiece is placed at the bottom of the pressure plate 73, and the handle bolt 72 is used for adjustment, and the pressure plate 73 is driven downward to press and fix the workpiece, thereby achieving a mating and fixing effect. Columns 74 are provided between the inner walls of the U-shaped frame 71, and both sides of the pressure plate 73 are slidably plugged into the columns 74. The columns 74 are provided to stabilize the structure of the pressure plate 73, so that it can maintain position stability when subjected to force to move upward or downward. A gasket 75 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the U-shaped frame 71. The gasket 75 has anti-slip grooves and is an integrated structure made of rubber material. The structure of the gasket 75 has a good protective effect and can provide padding and stabilizing position for the workpiece to be processed.

[0027] Both mounting plates 1 are screwed with screw rods 4, with the threads on both sides of the screw rods 4 facing opposite directions. One end of the screw rod 4 passes through one of the mounting plates 1 and is movably mounted to the fixing frame 2 through a bearing. The fixing frame 2 is equipped with a drive motor 3, and the output end of the drive motor 3 is connected to the end of the screw rod 4 through a coupling. The fixing frame 2 is welded with a guide rod 5, which is slidably plugged into the two mounting plates 1 in turn. During use, a workpiece with a width that matches the spacing between the two limit mechanisms 7 is placed on the mounting plate 1 and clamped and fixed. During use, the spacing between the mounting plates 1 can be adjusted as needed to adjust the clamping position of the workpiece, thereby enabling the equipment to adjust the workpiece fixing point according to different processing areas, thereby maintaining stability and safety during the processing and ensuring the practicality of the fixture.

[0028] The bottoms of the two mounting plates 1 are symmetrically provided with mounting grooves 8 , and a guide rail 6 is overlapped between the mounting grooves 8 provided on the two mounting plates 1 . The guide rail 6 is fixed to the mounting plates 1 via a fixing mechanism 9 .

[0029] The fixing mechanism 9 includes a hydraulic rod 91, a connecting plate 92, a fixing plate 94 and a pad 95. The hydraulic rod 91 is installed to the guide rail 6. The output end of the hydraulic rod 91 is installed with a connecting plate 92. One side of the connecting plate 92 is bolted to the fixing plate 94. Pads 95 are evenly arranged on one side of the fixing plate 94 in sequence. The pads 95 are respectively in contact with the mounting plate 1. The fixing mechanism 9 is provided to connect the whole device. When clamping work is required, the screw rod 4 can be controlled to rotate by driving the motor 3. Since the threads at both ends of the screw rod 4 face opposite directions, the mounting plates 1 arranged on both sides of the screw rod 4 can move closer to or separate from each other. During this process, the two mounting plates 1 are still on the surface of the guide rail 6. After the mounting plate 1 is adjusted to the target position, the hydraulic cylinder can be used to drive the hydraulic rod 91 to push the connecting plate 92 to squeeze. The connecting plate 92 can press the fixing plate 94 forward to advance toward the inner wall of the mounting groove 8, and finally enable each pad 95 to be squeezed with the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 8 and form a fixed structure, thereby completing the position fixation of the two mounting plates 1. This structure can be used to make the overall structure easier to adapt to workpieces of different specifications for clamping and use, and the overall operation is simple and easy to implement.

[0030] The guide rail 6 is provided with a slide 61. Damping rods 93 are hinged on both sides of the connecting plate 92. The ends of the damping rods 93 are hinged to the slider, and the slider is slidably mounted on the slide 61. The damping rods 93 are provided to provide auxiliary support, which can make the overall structure of the connecting plate 92 more stable and significantly improve safety. The pad 95 includes a base 951, an inner lining layer 952, reinforcing ribs 953, and an outer skin 954. The base 951 is paved with an inner lining layer 952, and the inner lining layer 952 is uniformly provided with reinforcing ribs 953 in sequence. The reinforcing ribs 953 are provided with an outer skin 954. The inner lining layer 952 is paved with a rubber material, the reinforcing ribs 953 are made of steel structural material, and the outer skin 954 is made of PVC plastic material. The combination of these forms a layered protective structure, which ensures the overall strength and rigidity of the pad 95, provides good protection, and enables the pad 95 portion to be driven to perform a strong fixation work on the mounting plate 1.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly defined, ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] In summary, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention.
