[0019] 2. Overall structural features of the fixture

[0020] See Figure 1 a , Figure 1 b , Figure 2a , Figure 2b , the connection between the overall parts of the fixture is bolted, and the positioning between the parts is achieved through key grooves, for example: between the left clamping block (3) and the equal-height spacer block (2), between the equal-height spacer block (2) and the base plate (1), between the right clamping block (4) and the base plate (1), etc. The equal-height spacer block (2) and the left clamping block (3) on the left side of the fixture are fixed on the base plate (1) through bolt key grooves, and the right clamping block (4) on the right side is a movable end, which can be adjusted by loosening the bolt on the right clamping block (4). The outer shape of the left clamping block (3) and the right clamping block (4) closely matches the outer shape of the part to be processed, limiting the movement of the part, and the pressing plate (12) and the bolt and nut are used to fix the part to be processed.

[0021] 3. Structure and function of each part in the fixture

[0022] (1) Base plate: This part is connected directly to the machine tool workbench through the use of bolts, and it also connects other parts in the fixture. The base plate has multiple large holes, some of which are used to reduce weight and others to avoid the tool path during machining. The upper surfaces of the left and right sides are designed with key grooves to facilitate installation and positioning with other parts.

[0023] (2) Equal-height spacer block: This part is responsible for leveling the part to be processed. The height of this part directly affects the quality of the part. The upper and lower surfaces of this part are designed as contact surfaces with a roughness of Ra3.2. The upper surface is designed with a key groove, and the lower surface is positioned and fixed by the key groove of the base plate through a bolt.

[0024] (3) Left clamping block, right clamping block: two parts are designed after fully considering the shape of two kinds of parts to be machined, and the shape is designed to be adaptable to the shape of the two kinds of parts to be machined, which can tightly fit the parts to be machined and limit the front and rear direction and the left and right direction. The right clamping block (4) is a movable part, which can be adjusted left and right by loosening the bolts on the upper part. The upper and lower surfaces of the two parts have bosses, which cooperate with the equal height block (2) and the bottom plate (1) to position, and by turning the two parts upside down 180°, the clamping and machining of the right chain link (15) can be realized.

[0025] The remaining parts: bolts, nuts and the like play the role of connecting and fastening various parts, the use of support (9), double-headed bolt (6) and pressing plate (12) can fix the parts in the up and down direction, ensure that the parts will not move during machining, and the size specification of the support, double-headed bolt and pressing plate is also determined by fully analyzing the shape of the parts to be machined, and then calculating and simulating to avoid interference between the fixture parts and the tool path during machining. Finally, the appropriate size of the parts is determined. The screw (13) is used for convenient transportation, and the fixture is transported to the workbench and then disassembled.

[0026] 4. Method for using the fixture
