Description

Figure 1 The current production method of the exhaust pipe 10 is to use the pouring method, demold after forming, then clamp and fix the blank on the fixture of the machine tool, and then perform finishing machining (such as polishing of the flash part, polishing of the burr part, polishing of the pipe opening notch part, flange drilling, etc.) on the blank by the machine tool.

[0003] The existing clamping and fixing process usually places the exhaust pipe 10 on the tool fixture first, limits the exhaust pipe through screws and supporting components, and then clamps the exhaust pipe through the lower pressing component. The whole process is completed by manual operation, which is low in efficiency. Since some installation positions are far away from the operator, the operator needs to enter the machine tool to install, which has safety hazards. In addition, when the exhaust pipe 10 has a large number of pipe openings, it is necessary to clamp each pipe opening one by one, which makes it difficult to ensure the clamping time. At the same time, when manually clamping, it is difficult to grasp the clamping force of each pipe opening by the lower pressing component, and the exhaust pipe 10 is prone to circumferential deflection and deformation, which affects the positioning accuracy of the machine tool.
