[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a fixing tool for a ring-shaped workpiece, comprising a base 1, a placing part 2, a set of first clamps 3, a set of second clamps 4, a first inner pipe 5, a second inner pipe 6, a first outer pipe 7, a second outer pipe 8, a three-position four-way valve 9, and an air pump 10.

[0050] The four corners of the bottom surface of the base 1 are provided with foot props 1a, which are used to install the fixing tool to the T-shaped groove platform and to provide a gap between the bottom surface of the base 1 and the table top of the T-shaped groove platform.

[0051] The placement part 2 is annular and is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1. The fixed connection can be achieved by using screws.

[0052] In the set of first clamps 3, the number of first clamps 3 is three or four. Each first clamp 3 is provided with a first air cylinder 3a for controlling the pressing and loosening. The set of first clamps 3 is installed on the base 1 and is located in the placement part 2.

[0053] In the set of first clamps 3, the number of second clamps 4 is four to eight. Each second clamp 4 is provided with a second air cylinder 4a for controlling the pressing and loosening. The set of second clamps 4 is installed on the base 1 and is located outside the placement part 2.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first inner pipeline 5 and the second inner pipeline 6 can be connected to all the corresponding air holes by using a combination of a first three-way pipe 56a, a first four-way pipe 56b and a first hose 56c. For example, when the number of first clamps 3 is four, two first three-way pipes 56a are used, one of which is directly installed on one of the air holes above and the other of which is directly installed on one of the air holes below; two first four-way pipes 56b are used, one of which and four first hoses 56c are connected to the air holes above the four first air cylinders 3a to form the first inner pipeline 5, and the other of which and the first hoses 56c are connected to the air holes below the four first air cylinders 3a to form the second inner pipeline 6. Each of the two first three-way pipes 56a has one remaining interface, and the two interfaces are connected to one first hose 56c, which is downwardly connected to the base 1.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first inner pipeline 5 and the second inner pipeline 6 can be provided in the air circuit block 56. That is, the air circuit block 56 is designed to connect all the first air cylinders 3a.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6More specifically, according to the number of the first clamps 3, the air path block 56 has the same number of vertical sides, for example, if the number of the first clamps 3 is four, the air path block 56 can be cuboid. Each vertical side of the air path block 56 is provided with a first side hole 5a and a second side hole 6a arranged one above the other, and all the first side holes 5a on all the vertical sides are connected together, and all the second side holes 6a are connected together. One of all the vertical sides is selected to be provided with a first connecting hole 5b, the first connecting hole 5b is connected to the corresponding first side hole 5a, and the first connecting hole 5b is further provided with a first plug 5b1. One of the remaining vertical sides is selected to be provided with a second connecting hole 6b, the second connecting hole 6b is connected to the corresponding second side hole 6a, and the second connecting hole 6b is further provided with a second plug 6b1. The air path block 56 is provided with a first bottom hole 5c and a second bottom hole 6c on the bottom surface, the first bottom hole 5c is connected upwardly to the first connecting hole 5b, and the second bottom hole 6c is connected upwardly to the second connecting hole 6b.

[0058] That is, the first bottom hole 5c, the first connecting hole 5b, and the plurality of first side holes 5a form a one-to-many adapter first inner pipeline 5; the second bottom hole 6c, the second connecting hole 6b, and the plurality of second side holes 6a form a one-to-many adapter second inner pipeline 6. The first bottom hole 5c and the second bottom hole 6c correspond to the remaining one interface on each of the two first three-way pipes 56a. The plurality of vertical sides of the air path block 56 and the plurality of first air cylinders 3a correspond one-to-one, and the first side holes 5a and the air holes above the first air cylinders 3a are connected by a hose, and the second side holes 6a and the air holes below the first air cylinders 3a are connected by a hose. The base 1 is provided with two through holes at the position corresponding to the center of the placement part 2, and the two through holes correspond to the first bottom hole 5c and the second bottom hole 6c, respectively.

[0059] The space in several first clamps 3 is relatively small, compared with the combination of the first three-way pipe 56a, the first four-way pipe 56b, and the first hose 56c, the use of the air path block 56 is faster and more convenient to set, connect, and install.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first outer pipeline 7 connects all the air holes above the second air cylinders 4a, and is connected to the first inner pipeline 5 as a first connection group.

That is, all the second clamps 4 are synchronously pressed / tightened, and all the second clamps 4 and all the first clamps 3 are also synchronously pressed / tightened.

[0061] The first outer pipeline 7 and the second outer pipeline 8 can be a combination of a second three-way pipe 78a, a second four-way pipe 78b, and a second hose 78c, which connects all the corresponding air holes to a pipeline.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the second three-way valves 78a are directly installed on the upper and lower air holes of the second cylinder 4a, and all the upper air holes and one of the second four-way valves 78b are connected into a ring shape by the second hose 78c to form the first outer pipeline 7, and all the lower air holes and the other of the second four-way valves 78b are connected into a ring shape to form the second outer pipeline 8. For the second cylinder 4a, the upper and lower air holes are arranged on the cylinder side wall perpendicular to the radial direction, which is convenient for connecting the second hose 78c.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first outer pipeline 7 and the second outer pipeline 8 are installed on the bottom surface of the base 1, and are arranged in an inner-outer manner. That is, instead of using the above-mentioned mode of “the second three-way valves 78a are directly installed on the upper and lower air holes of the second cylinder 4a”, the same number of second three-way valves 78a, second four-way valves 78b and second hoses 78c are used to form the ring-shaped first outer pipeline 7 and the ring-shaped second outer pipeline 8. Correspondingly, all the second three-way valves 78a have one remaining interface, the first outer pipeline 7 has a plurality of first connecting ports 7a, and the second outer pipeline 8 has a plurality of second connecting ports 8a. The first connecting ports 7a are all connected with first connecting pipes 7b, and the second connecting ports 8a are all connected with second connecting pipes 8b. The first outer pipeline 7 and the second outer pipeline 8 are installed on the bottom surface of the base 1, which can be achieved by using connecting pieces 78d to install the second three-way valves 78a on the bottom surface of the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes, which correspond to the plurality of first connecting ports 7a and the plurality of second connecting ports 8a in sequence. The bottom surface of the placing part 2 is provided with a notch corresponding to each through hole. The first connecting pipes 7b and the second connecting pipes 8b pass through the corresponding through holes and notches. The upper and lower air holes of each second cylinder 4a are respectively connected to the nearby first connecting pipe 7b and second connecting pipe 8b. For the second cylinder 4a, the upper and lower air holes are arranged on the cylinder side wall parallel to the radial direction.

[0064] The first outer pipeline 7 and the second outer pipeline 8 are arranged on the bottom surface of the base 1, which makes the structure of the fixing tool more compact and the outside more tidy.

[0065] The second four-way valve 78b of the first outer pipeline 7 has two remaining interfaces, one of which is connected with the first inner pipeline 5 by using a third connecting pipe 7c to form a first connecting group, and the other of which is connected with one of the A port and the B port of the three-position four-way valve 9 by using a fourth connecting pipe 7d. The second four-way valve 78b of the second outer pipeline 8 also has two remaining interfaces, one of which is connected with the second inner pipeline 6 by using a fifth connecting pipe 8c to form a second connecting group, and the other of which is connected with the other of the A port and the B port of the three-position four-way valve 9 by using a sixth connecting pipe 8d. The three-position four-way valve 9 can be a manual valve or an electromagnetic valve.

[0066] The air pump 10 is connected to the P port of the three-position four-way valve 9. The three positions of the three-position four-way valve 9 correspond to: switching all first clamps 3 and second clamps 4 from being pressed to being loosened; keeping all first clamps 3 and second clamps 4 clamped / loosened; and switching all first clamps 3 and second clamps 4 from being loosened to being pressed.

[0067] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, based on the above-mentioned embodiment that the first outer pipeline 7 and the second outer pipeline 8 are arranged in an inner-outer manner on the bottom surface of the base 1, the plurality of first connecting ports 7a and the plurality of second connecting ports 8a correspond to each other in the radial direction. That is, the plurality of second three-way valves 78a of the first outer pipeline 7 and the plurality of second three-way valves 78a of the second outer pipeline 8 correspond to each other, and the corresponding two second three-way valves 78a can be fixedly connected to the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the same connecting sheet 78d, respectively. Correspondingly, the corresponding two second three-way valves 78a use the same through hole and notch and are connected to the same second air cylinder 4a.

[0068] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, based on the above-mentioned embodiment that the first outer pipeline 7 and the second outer pipeline 8 are arranged in an inner-outer manner on the bottom surface of the base 1, the first outer pipeline 7 and the second outer pipeline 8 are staggered vertically, and one of them on the inner side is lower.

[0069] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first clamp 3 and the second clamp 4 are structurally identical and each include: a mounting block 34a, a connecting strip 34b, and a pressing block 34c. The mounting block 34a is fixedly connected to the cylinder body. More specifically, the four corners of the top end of the cylinder body are each provided with a hole position, and any two adjacent hole positions are selected for fixed connection of the mounting block 34a.
