[0028] This implementation plan addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art, as disclosed in the background section above: "In the machining process, fixtures are important devices for clamping workpieces, and their performance directly affects machining accuracy and production efficiency. Traditional fixtures are often structurally rigid, have poor adaptability to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, are prone to damaging the workpiece surface during clamping, and are difficult to stably fix some irregularly shaped workpieces. With the continuous development of the machining industry, higher requirements are placed on the flexibility, versatility, and workpiece protection performance of fixtures." In practical terms, this problem is clearly a real and difficult-to-solve issue. Therefore, to solve this technical problem, a machining fixture is provided based on this existing technology.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure;

[0030] In conjunction with the above, it also includes a power assembly 2 installed on the mounting support 1, and a guide assembly 3 installed on the mounting support 1 with a left flexible clamping mechanism 4 and a right flexible clamping mechanism 5. The left flexible clamping mechanism 4 and the right flexible clamping mechanism 5 are the same size and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides.

[0031] The left flexible clamping mechanism 4 includes a pair of support plates 41 fixed on the guide assembly 3. The two support plates 41 are connected by a lower limit link 42 and an upper limit link 43. A pair of V-shaped clamps 45 are movably arranged between the two support plates 41 through a rotating shaft 44. The tail ends of the two V-shaped clamps 45 are connected by a link 46. The upper limit link 43 and the link 46 are connected by a pair of springs 47.

[0032] The guide assembly 3 includes a pair of slide rails 31 fixed on the mounting bracket 1, and a pair of guide blocks 32 for fixing the support plate 41 are provided on the slide rails 31.

[0033] The power assembly 2 includes a cylinder 21 fixed on the mounting bracket 1. The piston rod of the cylinder 21 is movably provided with a left pull rod 22 and a right pull rod 23, and both the left pull rod 22 and the right pull rod 23 are movably connected to a pair of support plates 41 through a rotating rod 24.

[0034] The V-shaped chuck 45 has a rubber anti-slip pad on its clamping surface to increase the friction on the workpiece and prevent the workpiece from sliding during clamping.

[0035] Limiting blocks are provided at both ends of the slide rail 31 to limit the movement range of the guide block 32 on the slide rail 31 and prevent the guide block 32 from detaching from the slide rail 31.

[0036] A damping device is provided on the rotating shaft 44, so that the V-shaped chuck 45 has a certain resistance when rotating, which makes it easy to maintain the clamping angle stably when clamping workpieces of different shapes.

[0037] The damping device is a damping sleeve fitted on the rotating shaft 44. The outer wall of the damping sleeve is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the support plate 41, and damping is provided by friction.

[0038] Installation and debugging:

[0039] Fix the mounting bracket 1 to the workbench of a suitable processing equipment, ensuring a secure installation.

[0040] Install the guide assembly 3, fix a pair of slide rails 31 on the mounting support 1, and install the guide block 32 on the slide rails 31.

[0041] Install the left flexible clamping mechanism 4 and the right flexible clamping mechanism 5, fix a pair of support plates 41 on the corresponding guide blocks 32 respectively, connect the two support plates 41 through the lower limit link 42 and the upper limit link 43, install the rotating shaft 44 between the support plates 41, and install a pair of V-shaped chucks 45 on the rotating shaft 44. Connect the tail ends of the two V-shaped chucks 45 through the link 46, and finally connect the spring 47 between the upper limit link 43 and the link 46.

[0042] Install the power assembly 2, fix the cylinder 21 on the mounting bracket 1, movably connect the left tie rod 22 and the right tie rod 23 to the top of the piston rod of the cylinder 21, and connect the left tie rod 22 and the right tie rod 23 to the corresponding support plate 41 through the rotating rod 24.

[0043] Adjust the movement of each component, check the rotation flexibility of the V-shaped chuck 45, the smoothness of the movement of the guide component 3, and the driving effect of the power component 2 to ensure that each component can work normally.

[0044] Usage process:

[0045] According to the shape and size of the workpiece to be processed, the cylinder 21 is activated, and the extension and retraction of the piston rod drives the left pull rod 22 and the right pull rod 23 to move, thereby pushing the left flexible clamping mechanism 4 and the right flexible clamping mechanism 5 to move towards or away from each other along the slide rail 31 to adjust to a suitable clamping position.

[0046] The workpiece is placed between the V-clamps 45. The V-clamps 45 rotate via the pivot 44 according to the shape of the workpiece, while the spring 47 provides a cushioning force, ensuring that the V-clamps 45 fit tightly against the workpiece surface. The rubber anti-slip pads on the clamping surfaces of the V-clamps 45 effectively prevent the workpiece from slipping.

[0047] During the processing, if an irregularly shaped workpiece is encountered, the V-shaped chuck 45, under the action of the damping device on the rotating shaft 44, can stably maintain the clamping angle, ensuring the stability of the workpiece during the processing.

[0048] After processing is completed, cylinder 21 reverses its direction, causing the left flexible clamping mechanism 4 and the right flexible clamping mechanism 5 to separate and remove the processed workpiece.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
