The horizontal section of the workpiece is in contact with the machine tool loading fixture, so that the workpiece is in a horizontal posture in the machine tool loading fixture.
[0009] Optionally, the backing plate and the surrounding plate have a certain gap with the clamped outer circle of the workpiece, which is used to manually adjust the posture of the workpiece within a range of 360 degrees.
[0010] Optionally, the surrounding plate is prevented from being detached by the anti-detaching bolt, the anti-detaching bolt has a gap with the surrounding plate, and the anti-detaching bolt has a relatively long length.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the application has the beneficial effects that:
[0012] The machine tool feeding clamp provided by the embodiment of the application is used to clamp the outer circle of the workpiece, the workpiece is attached to the clamp due to its own weight, the workpiece is attached to the surface higher than the gravity center of the workpiece, and the anti-detaching bolt is arranged, so that the workpiece cannot be tilted. The horizontal section of the workpiece is attached to the machine tool feeding clamp, and the workpiece is in a horizontal posture on the machine tool feeding clamp; the machine tool feeding clamp has a certain gap with the outer circle of the clamping section of the workpiece, so that the posture of the workpiece can be finely adjusted within a range of 360° on the machine tool feeding clamp.

[0019] The preferred embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below in combination with the drawings, so that the advantages and characteristics of the utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, and the protection scope of the utility model can be more clearly and explicitly defined.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the drawings, the embodiment of the present application provides a machine tool loading fixture, which comprises a base 1, a backing plate 2, a surrounding plate 3, an anti-falling bolt 4 and a fixing screw 5. The backing plate 2 is fixed on the base 1 by screws. The base 1 is used for being mounted on the fork arm of the hydraulic pallet truck 7, and the base 1 is fixed on the fork arm by tightening the fixing screw 5. In use, after the workpiece 6 is placed at the opening position on one side of the base 1, the surrounding plate 3 is mounted, and the anti-falling bolt 4 is inserted. The anti-falling bolt 4 is used for fixing the surrounding plate 3 and the base 1 to prevent the workpiece 6 from tilting.
[0021] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the backing plate 2 is mounted on the base 1 to ensure that the backing plate 2 and the surrounding plate 3 are at the same height. The workpiece 6 is horizontally sectioned and adhered to the machine tool loading fixture by gravity, so that the workpiece 6 is in a horizontal posture in the machine tool loading fixture. The adhering surface of the workpiece 6 is higher than the gravity center of the workpiece 6, so that the workpiece 6 cannot be tilted. The anti-falling bolt 4 has a large cooperation gap, and the bolt is convenient to insert and take out. Specifically, the anti-falling bolt 4 is relatively long, and has a good anti-falling effect. For example, the length of the anti-falling bolt 4 is 8 to 12 times the thickness of the surrounding plate 3. The anti-falling bolt 4 can prevent the surrounding plate 3 from falling off, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the workpiece 6 from tilting. The backing plate 2 and the surrounding plate 3 have a certain gap with the outer circle of the clamped workpiece 6, and this setting achieves the purpose of adjusting the posture of the workpiece 6 within 360° by hand.
