[0025] The main pressing oil cylinder 7 is matched with the bottom positioning block 6 and has three groups, which are arranged on the outer side of the three bottom positioning blocks 6, including the first pressing oil cylinder 701, the second pressing oil cylinder 702 and the third pressing oil cylinder 703; the first pressing oil cylinder 701 and the second pressing oil cylinder 702 are arranged on one side of the upper end face of the clamp base plate 5, the first pressing oil cylinder 701 is close to the four-axis tail seat 3 and is located outside the first air avoiding groove 501, is arranged obliquely to the right towards the opposite side, the second pressing oil cylinder 702 is close to the four-axis rotary table 2 and is arranged obliquely upwards towards the left side of the second air avoiding groove 502; the third pressing oil cylinder 703 is arranged in the middle of the other side of the upper end face of the clamp base plate 5 and is located outside the third air avoiding groove 503, is arranged towards the first pressing oil cylinder 701, and the spacing between the third pressing oil cylinder 703 and the first pressing oil cylinder 701 is greater than the spacing between the first pressing oil cylinder 701 and the second pressing oil cylinder 702; thus, the first pressing oil cylinder 701, the second pressing oil cylinder 702 and the third pressing oil cylinder 703 form a triangular layout.

[0026] The pressing plate 8 is matched with the main pressing oil cylinder 6 and has three, which are fixedly installed at the telescopic ends of the first pressing oil cylinder 701, the second pressing oil cylinder 702 and the third pressing oil cylinder 703 respectively.

[0027] The gas detection device 9 is arranged at the front end of the third pressing oil cylinder 703, and in the embodiment, the gas detection device 9 is assembled on the bottom positioning block 7 close to the third pressing oil cylinder 703.

[0028] The auxiliary supporting cylinder 10 is arranged between the second pressing oil cylinder 702 and the third pressing oil cylinder 703 and close to the four-axis rotary table 2, the telescopic end of the auxiliary supporting cylinder 10 extends upwards from the clamp base plate 5, and an auxiliary pressing plate is arranged above the telescopic end of the auxiliary supporting cylinder 8.

The chip punching mechanism 13 includes a mounting plate 131 and a plurality of jet nozzles 132 uniformly distributed on the mounting plate 131, and the jet nozzles 132 communicate with the external gas source.

[0032] The working process of the automatic hydraulic clamp for processing EA288-535A engine brackets in this utility model is as follows:

[0033] Based on the shape of the EA288-535A engine bracket to be processed, the bottom positioning block 7, the elastic floating positioning mechanism 11, and the locating block 12 are fixed on the fixture base plate 5, such as... Figure 2 As shown, one upper end of the bracket is supported by the third clamping cylinder 703, and the lower end of the bracket is supported by the first clamping cylinder 701 and the second clamping cylinder 702, forming a triangular clamping layout. The bottom of the bracket to be processed is positioned by the bottom positioning block 7, and the outside of the bracket to be processed is positioned by the elastic floating positioning mechanism 11 and the side / axial positioning block 12. The bracket to be processed is placed on the top of the bottom positioning block 7, so that the bracket to be processed is fitted with the elastic floating positioning mechanism 11 and the side / axial positioning block 12, which facilitates the rapid positioning of the part to be processed.

[0034] After the parts are correctly clamped and the machine tool is started, the three clamping cylinders 6 first clamp the two ends of the bracket, then the auxiliary support cylinder 10 lifts up and supports the arched part of the bracket, and then the auxiliary cylinder clamps it. Subsequently, the air detection device 8 checks whether the parts are clamped in place. After the clamping is correct, the machine tool starts processing. The four-axis rotary table 2 drives the fixture base plate 5 to rotate. When it is at 0°, the milling, drilling and tapping of the front of the workpiece and the tapping of the three threaded holes are completed. Then, when the rotary table rotates to 180°, the milling of the back of the workpiece and the chamfering of each hole are completed. At this point, all processing steps are completed.

[0035] After processing, gas enters the chip removal mechanism 13 and is ejected from the jet nozzle to blow off the chips generated during processing on the fixture base plate 5, thus preventing the fixture base plate 5 from becoming cluttered and facilitating the next processing of the support to be processed.

[0036] This utility model's automatic fixture, equipped with error-proofing and air-detection functions, significantly improves product qualification rates, saves processing costs, and increases production efficiency, making it highly practical in real-world applications. Furthermore, this fixture can complete machining at various angles along the circumference; all machining steps are completed when the turntable is at 0° and 180°. This not only shortens the processing flow and greatly improves production efficiency but also effectively increases equipment utilization, thereby saving investment costs and increasing profits for the enterprise.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
