A groove 2 is formed at the top of the chassis 1, and a slider 3 is slidably connected within the groove 2. A movable block 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 3. A fixed block 5 is also fixedly connected to one end of the chassis 1 located at the groove 2, and the movable block 4 and the fixed block 5 are positioned opposite each other. A first clamping block 6 and a second clamping block 7 are fixedly connected to the tops of adjacent sides of the movable block 4 and the fixed block 5, respectively. A through groove 8 is formed on the side of the first clamping block 6 facing the second clamping block 7, and a first clamping block 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the through groove 8. The first clamping strip 9 and the second clamping strip 10 are movably disposed at the top of the through groove 8. One end of the first clamping strip 9 and the second clamping strip 10 extend through the opening of the through groove 8 to the outside of the first clamping block 6. The top of the first clamping block 6 is provided with a threaded groove 11. The bottom end of the threaded groove 11 is connected to the top of the through groove 8. The threaded groove 11 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 12. The bottom end of the threaded rod 12 extends through the threaded groove 11 to the through groove 8 and connects to the top of the second clamping strip 10. The top of the chassis 1 is also provided with a controller 13. Mounting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the chassis 1.

[0023] In this design, a sliding shaft 15 is fixedly provided on one side of the sliding groove 2, and the sliding shaft 15 is slidably connected to the slider 3. A screw 16 is rotatably provided in the sliding groove 2 parallel to the sliding shaft 15, and the screw 16 is threadedly connected to the slider 3.

[0024] The chassis 1 is equipped with a servo motor 17, one end of the screw 16 passes through the slide groove 2, and the output end of the servo motor 17 is connected to the end of the screw 16 passing through the slide groove 2 via a coupling to provide power for the clamping of the fixture.

[0025] The threaded rod 12 has a knob 18 fixedly connected to one end located outside the first clamping block 6, and a bearing 19 is connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 12. The bearing 19 is fixedly connected to the top end of the second locking strip 10.

[0026] The bottom end of the chute 2 is provided with a collection groove 20, the chute 2 is connected to the collection groove 20, a collection box 21 is provided in the collection groove 20, and a pair of slide rails 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the collection groove 20.

[0029] Working principle: When using this type of automotive gas spring bracket production fixture, the entire fixture is fixed to the machine tool via the mounting slot 24 of the mounting block 14. The gas spring bracket to be processed is placed on the first clamping block 6, with the plane to be drilled positioned between the first engaging bar 9 and the second engaging bar 10. The knob 18 is manually rotated, causing the threaded rod 12 to rotate through the threaded groove 11, continuously moving downwards. This causes the second engaging bar 10 to continuously move towards the first engaging bar 9, engaging the side of the gas spring to be drilled. Then, the protective cover 23 is opened, and the control controller 13 is activated. Motor 17 drives screw 16 to rotate, causing slider 3 to move within slide groove 2 through the limit of slide shaft 15. Moving block 4 thereby drives second clamping block 7 to move continuously toward first clamping block 6 of fixed block 5, fixing and clamping both sides of gas spring bracket. Then, the machine tool can be operated to drill holes in gas spring bracket. Waste material falling into slide groove 2 during processing will fall into collection box 21 through collection groove 20. After processing is completed, the operator can pull out collection box 21 through slide rail 22 to empty waste material, effectively ensuring the processing efficiency of automotive gas spring bracket.
