[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4A CNC machining fixture according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a base 100, an X-axis clamping assembly 200, a Y-axis clamping assembly 300, and a Z-axis clamping assembly 400. The X-axis clamping assembly 200 is disposed on the base 100 and is capable of clamping a workpiece 500 in the X-axis direction. The Y-axis clamping assembly 300 is disposed on the base 100 and is capable of clamping the workpiece 500 in the Y-axis direction. The Z-axis clamping assembly 400 includes a first driving member 410, a support base 420, and a pressure rod 430. The first driving member 410 is disposed on the base 100, the support base 420 is disposed on the base 100, the middle part of the pressure rod 430 is rotatably connected to the support base 420, one end of the pressure rod 430 is connected to the first driving member 410 for transmission, and the other end extends above the workpiece 500. The first driving member 410 can drive the pressure rod 430 to rotate around the support base 420 and press it against the workpiece 500. Before machining the irregularly shaped workpiece 500, the workpiece 500 can be clamped and fixed to the base 100 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions by the X-axis clamping assembly 200 and the Y-axis clamping assembly 300 to restrict the lateral movement of the workpiece 500. For the vertical direction, it can be fixed by the Z-axis clamping assembly 400. The first driving member 410 can be located on one side of the workpiece 500, without obstructing the space above the workpiece 500, which is convenient for machining. The middle part of the pressure rod 430 is rotatably engaged with the support base 420. The first driving member 410 can drive one end of the pressure rod 430 to move upward, so that the other end of the pressure rod 430 can move downward and press the workpiece 500 against the base 100 to achieve fixation in the Z-axis direction. The pressure rod 430 can extend from one side of the workpiece 500 to above the workpiece 500, occupying little space. The pressure rod 430 can form a lever structure, which can reduce the driving force of the first driving member 410.

[0033] Specifically, the specific structures of the X-axis clamping assembly 200 and the Y-axis clamping assembly 300 are not limited here. They can be configured as clamping mechanisms to clamp and fix the workpiece 500 in the X and Y axis directions without affecting the space above the workpiece 500, facilitating machining with cutting tools. In the Z-axis direction, it is fixed by a pressure rod 430. The pressure rod 430 can be arranged laterally above the workpiece 500. The support base 420 and the first driving member 410 can both be set on one side of the workpiece 500 so as not to affect the machining of the workpiece 500. The pressure rod 430 can extend laterally to the workpiece 500. At position 00, the diameter of the pressure rod 430 is small, which causes less obstruction to the cutting tool. The first driving member 410 can be a cylinder. The cylinder rod can be pivotally connected to one end of the pressure rod 430 through a transmission structure. The cylinder can drive the cylinder rod to extend upward, thereby driving the pressure rod 430 to rotate around the support base 420 through the transmission structure. The other end of the pressure rod 430 can then press against the workpiece 500. By setting this up, the clamping torque can be increased, the driving force requirement of the cylinder can be reduced, and the size of the cylinder can be reduced, which can save costs and reduce the space occupied by the first driving member 410.

The second positioning part 230 can be a stop, and the stop can be arranged opposite to the second clamping part 220 along the X-axis direction. The cylinder can drive the second clamping part 220 to move toward the second positioning part 230, thereby clamping the workpiece 500 in the second positioning part 230. With the above structure, the workpiece 500 can be fixed in the X-axis direction, and the structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and has low installation cost.

The third driving member 310 can drive the third clamping part 320 to move toward the third positioning part 330. Specifically, the third driving member 310 can be configured as a cylinder. The third clamping part 320 is connected to the comb rod of the cylinder. The third positioning part 330 can be a stop block. The stop block can be configured opposite to the third clamping part 320 along the Y-axis direction.

Specifically, the first driving member 410 can be connected to the bottom of the base 100, and the first driving member 410 can be a cylinder. The cylinder shaft can pass through the mounting hole 110 and extend to the pressure rod 430, and pivotally connect to the pressure rod 430. The first driving member 410 can be arranged below the base 100, so as not to occupy the space above the base 100, which facilitates the operation of the machining tool and can avoid the collision between the tool and the first driving member 410, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

When the first driving member 410 drives the pressure rod 430 to rotate, the movable base 422 can swing relative to the base 421, thereby adapting to the movement of the output shaft of the first driving member 410, so that the pressure rod 430 can swing and press against the workpiece 500. Furthermore, the movable base 422 and the base 421 can stabilize the transmission structure, so that the pressure rod 430 can be stably subjected to force.

[0038] Reference Figure 5In some embodiments of this utility model, the second driving member 210 includes an independent dual-cylinder cylinder member, which includes a first cylinder driving part and a second cylinder driving part.

One end of the second rod 222 is connected to the second cylinder driving part, and the other end is connected to the second connecting hole 2232 by a fastener. Specifically, the independent dual-cylinder assembly can be equipped with independent first and second cylinder drive units. The first rod 221 is driven by the first cylinder drive unit, and the second rod 222 is driven by the second cylinder drive unit. The drive stroke can be controlled independently, so that the extension strokes of the first rod 221 and the second rod 222 are different. The clamping block 223 can be provided with elongated first connecting hole 2231 and second connecting hole 2232. During adjustment, the fasteners of the first rod 221 and the second rod 222 to the clamping component can be loosened first. After adjusting the length of the first rod 221 and the second rod 222, the clamping seat can be tilted at the corresponding angle. Then the fasteners can be tightened to complete the adjustment.

There is no need to customize the clamping block 223 separately, which can improve the versatility of the tooling.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second clamping part 220 includes a first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod, and a clamping block 223.
