[0035] An embodiment of this application provides a clamp with an air-blowing cleaning function; please refer to it as well. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixture includes a base 1, a fixed clamping plate 2, a linear drive mechanism 3, a first movable clamping plate 4, multiple universal air nozzles 5, and a high-pressure device. The fixed clamping plate 2 is fixedly disposed at one end of the base 1, and the linear drive mechanism 3 is fixedly disposed at the other end of the base 1, with the drive end of the linear drive mechanism 3 facing the fixed clamping plate 2. The first movable clamping plate 4 is disposed at the drive end, and during the movement of the first movable clamping plate 4 following the drive end, the first movable clamping plate 4 and the fixed clamping plate 2 clamp and fix the workpiece. The multiple universal air nozzles 5 are respectively disposed on the top surface of the fixed clamping plate 2 and the top surface of the first movable clamping plate 4. The universal air nozzles 5 are used to blow air onto the workpiece, and the high-pressure device is used to provide high-pressure gas to the universal air nozzles 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fixture includes a base 1, a fixed clamping plate 2, a linear drive mechanism 3, a first movable clamping plate 4, multiple universal air nozzles 5, and a high-pressure device. The drive end of the linear drive mechanism 3 drives the first movable clamping plate 4 to move, so that the first movable clamping plate 4 and the fixed clamping plate 2 can clamp and fix the workpiece. The universal air nozzles 5 on the top surface of the fixed clamping plate 2 and the top surface of the first movable clamping plate 4 can blow air onto the workpiece to clean the waste or waste liquid on the workpiece, keep the workpiece clean and avoid scratching the workpiece. The blowing direction of the universal air nozzles 5 is adjustable, so that most of the surface of the workpiece can be cleaned, and the cleaning effect is good.

[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 1The base 1 between the fixed clamping plate 2 and the first movable clamping plate 4 is provided with a travel groove. The clamp also includes a slider 6 and a second movable clamping plate 7. The slider 6 is slidably disposed in the travel groove, and the second movable clamping plate 7 is disposed on the slider 6.

[0038] Thus, a movable second clamping plate 7 can be set between the fixed clamping plate 2 and the first movable clamping plate 4 to achieve the effect of clamping and fixing multiple workpieces at the same time, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0039] Specifically, the slider 6 and the second movable clamping plate 7 are used in conjunction, and the number of both is the same. The specific number of sliders 6 and the second movable clamping plate 7 is selected according to the actual number of workpieces that need to be clamped and fixed at the same time, and there is no single limitation here. For example, if two workpieces are clamped and fixed at the same time, one second movable clamping plate 7 is required; if three workpieces are clamped and fixed at the same time, two second movable clamping plates 7 are required, and so on.

[0040] In one embodiment, a limiting stop is provided at the opening of the stroke groove. The limiting stop is used to confine the slider 6 within the stroke groove, preventing the slider 6 from dislodging from the stroke groove during movement and improving the stability of the movement of the slider 6 and the second movable clamping plate 7.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Wear-resistant plates 8 are provided on the base 1 on both sides of the travel groove, and the second movable clamping plate 7 overlaps on the wear-resistant plates 8.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Wear-resistant plates 8 are provided on the sides of the second movable clamping plate 7 facing the fixed clamping plate 2 and the first movable clamping plate 4.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A wear-resistant plate 8 is provided on the side of the fixed clamping plate 2 facing the first movable clamping plate 4.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A wear-resistant plate 8 is provided on the side of the first movable clamping plate 4 facing the fixed clamping plate 2.

[0045] In summary, wear-resistant plates 8 are provided on the surfaces of the base 1, fixed clamping plate 2, first movable clamping plate 4 and second movable clamping plate 7 used for contacting the workpiece, which can achieve the effect of avoiding scratching the workpiece and better protecting the workpiece.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 2The base 1 and the fixed clamp 2 are provided with a first gas channel 9. The universal air nozzle 5 on the fixed clamp 2 is located at the port of the first gas channel 9. The linear drive mechanism 3 and the first movable clamp 4 are provided with a second gas channel 10. The universal air nozzle 5 on the first movable clamp 4 is located at the port of the second gas channel 10. Both the first gas channel 9 and the second gas channel 10 are connected to the high-pressure device.

[0047] In this way, the gas channel of the universal nozzle 5 is set inside the components of the fixture, and the universal nozzle 5 does not require external piping, which improves the integration of the device, enhances its aesthetics, and reduces costs.

[0048] In one embodiment, the universal air nozzle 5 is detachably mounted on the fixed clamping plate 2 or the first movable clamping plate 4.

[0049] Understandably, different models of air nozzles need to be selected for different workpieces. The universal air nozzle 5 can be installed detachably, which can reduce the difficulty of replacing air nozzles.

[0050] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the connection of the universal air nozzle 5 to improve the sealing performance, thereby improving the air blowing cleaning effect.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixture also includes multiple grippers 11, which are evenly arranged on the bottom surface of the base 1. The grippers 11 are used to fix the base 1 to the solid structure.

[0052] With the above configuration, the base 1 can be detachably fixed to the physical structure of the machine tool via the gripper 11, which facilitates the overall installation and disassembly of the fixture of this application and improves the flexibility of use.

[0053] Furthermore, the gripper 11 includes two rotatably connected gripper bodies, and the opening and closing angles of the two gripper bodies are adjusted and locked by a bolt and nut structure.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
