[0027] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0028] The existing technology has the following defects: the existing CNC fixture is not stable enough when clamping the ribs, which leads to vibration during the machining process and damage to the ribs.

[0029] As an improvement, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the preferred embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0030] The CNC fixture includes a base 1. The top of the base 1 is symmetrically provided with side blocks 4 for support. The two sets of side blocks 4 are symmetrically provided with pressure claws 6. The side of the two sets of pressure claws 6 that is close to each other is concave. The left and right sides of the two sets of pressure claws 6 are provided with rotating shafts 8, and the rotating shafts 8 extend through the side blocks 4 to their outer sides.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the side block 4 has symmetrically provided circular grooves 5 inside, and the side block 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 8 through the circular grooves 5;

[0032] The bottom of the pressure claw 6 is provided with a connecting groove 7, the cross-section of the connecting groove 7 is circular, and the support cylinder 2 is symmetrically installed inside the base 1;

[0033] The support cylinder 2 extends through the top of the base 1 to its outer side. A connecting ball 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the support cylinder 2. The pressure claw 6 is spherically connected to the connecting ball 3 through the connecting groove 7.

[0034] Specifically, the pressure claw 6 is connected to the support cylinder 2 by connecting the connecting groove 7 at the bottom of the pressure claw 6 and connecting ball 3. Therefore, when the support cylinder 2 reciprocates, it is easy to push the pressure claw 6 to rotate around the rotating shaft 8 through the connecting ball 3 and connecting groove 7.

[0035] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a transmission assembly 10 is fixedly installed on the outer side of a set of side blocks 4. The transmission assembly 10 includes a pad 1001 installed on the outer side of the side blocks 4. The pad 1001 is U-shaped, and a first transmission shaft 1004 is sleeved on the top of the pad 1001.

[0036] A transmission plate 1005 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the first transmission shaft 1004. The transmission plate 1005 is threaded and the outer side of the transmission plate 1005 is made of rubber.

[0037] The horizontal plate 1003 is rotatably sleeved with the first drive shaft 1004, and the horizontal plate 1003 extends through both sides of the pad 1001 to its outer side.

[0038] The pad 1001 has symmetrically provided side grooves 1013 on both sides. The pad 1001 is sleeved with two sets of horizontal plates 1003 through the side grooves 1013. Electric push rods 1002 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the pad 1001, and the top of the electric push rods 1002 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plates 1003.

[0039] Specifically, the height of the horizontal plate 1003 is changed by the electric push rod 1002, thereby adjusting the height of the first transmission shaft 1004 sleeved inside the horizontal plate 1003, which, together with the transmission plate 1005 and the pad 1001 fixedly installed on its outer side, clamps and limits the ribs of different thicknesses.

[0040] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, connecting rods 1006 are symmetrically installed at both ends of a set of horizontal plates 1003 on the side away from the base 1. The other end of the connecting rod 1006 extends to the outside of the pad 1001. A first rotating shaft 1007 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 1006. A second rotating shaft 1008 is sleeved on the bottom edge of the pad 1001. A first synchronous belt 1009 is sleeved on the outside of the second rotating shaft 1008, the first transmission shaft 1004, and the two sets of first rotating shafts 1007.

[0041] A second synchronous belt 1010 is sleeved on the outer side of the other end of the second rotating shaft 1008. The second synchronous belt 1010 extends through the bottom of the pad 1001 to its outer side and is inclined. A second drive shaft 1011 is sleeved on the other side of the second synchronous belt 1010 and extends through the side wall of the pad 1001 to its interior. A second spring sheet 1012 is arranged in an array on the outer side of the second drive shaft 1011. A first spring sheet 9 is arranged in an array on the outer side of one end of a set of rotating shafts 8 and the first spring sheet 9 matches the second spring sheet 1012.

[0042] Specifically, a set of reciprocating rotating shafts 8, in conjunction with the first spring plates 9 mounted on their outer array, utilizes the principle of ratchet and pawl to drive the second spring plates 1012 on the outer array of the second transmission shaft 1011 to rotate continuously. This drives the second rotating shaft 1008 to rotate via the second synchronous belt 1010. Consequently, the first transmission shaft 1004 can be driven to rotate synchronously via the first synchronous belt 1009. The transmission effect is then achieved via the spirally arranged transmission plate 1005.

[0043] At the same time, as the horizontal plate 1003 descends, it will drive the first rotating shaft 1007 to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod 1006, thereby ensuring that the first synchronous belt 1009 is always in a taut state.

[0044] The working principle of this application is as follows: First, take out the device and place it in an appropriate position. When using it, first take out the rib to be processed and place it on the top of the device. At this time, determine the clamping method of the rib. If vertical clamping is required, start the support cylinder 2 and cooperate with the connecting ball 3 fixedly installed on the top of the two sets of support cylinders 2 and drive the two sets of pressure claws 6 to move closer to each other through the connecting groove 7, thereby clamping the rib.

[0045] If horizontal clamping is required, the rib is passed through the pad 1001 and the two sets of clamping claws 6. The above steps are repeated, and the rib is clamped by the two sets of clamping claws 6. Then, the four sets of electric push rods 1002 are started simultaneously. The electric push rods 1002, together with the two sets of horizontal plates 1003, drive the first drive shaft 1004 to move down. Then, the drive plate 1005 fixedly installed on the outside of the first drive shaft 1004 clamps the rib a second time, thereby avoiding deviation during processing.

[0046] After processing is completed, the support cylinder 2 is started in reverse and the two sets of pressure claws 6 are released, thereby releasing the rib. At this time, the support cylinder 2 is started repeatedly to make it move back and forth continuously. Then, through the first spring plate 9 and the second spring plate 1012, the second transmission shaft 1011 and the second synchronous belt 1010 are driven to rotate, thereby cooperating with the first synchronous belt 1009, the first rotating shaft 1007 and the first transmission shaft 1004 and the transmission plate 1005 to rotate, thereby realizing the transmission of the rib and facilitating the transportation and unloading of the rib.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application.
