Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical processing technology and relates to a flexible hydraulic clamp for clamping large shells. Background Technology

[0002] Fixtures are fundamental tools in machining processes. Clamping large housings has always been a major challenge in housing machining, presenting problems such as difficulty in fixing them, susceptibility to deformation, and difficulty in controlling precision requirements. Currently, both domestically and internationally, the clamping of large housings primarily employs combination clamping or specialized fixtures. Combination fixtures are suitable for clamping various housing and box-type components, but their disadvantages include: long clamping time (requiring repeated adjustments by the operator), uneven clamping force, poor housing stability, and susceptibility to deformation. Specialized fixtures have limited applicability and high cost, but they address the shortcomings of combination fixtures.

[0003] Regardless of the technical solution or combination mentioned above, the clamping efficiency and reliability are generally not high. Furthermore, when high machining accuracy is required, most manufacturers ensure precision by directly scrapping defective products. Therefore, a widely applicable and highly reliable clamping method is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
