However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an automatic positioning fixture for machining, comprising:

[0027] The support mechanism 100 includes a processing table 101, a transverse groove 102 formed on the surface of the processing table 101, and two vertical grooves 103 formed on the surface of the processing table 101.

[0028] The clamping mechanism 200 includes a positioning component 201 for positioning the workpiece and an adjustment component 202 suitable for workpieces of different sizes.

[0029] The positioning component 201 and the adjusting component 202 work together to clamp and position workpieces of different sizes, improving the positioning effect of the workpieces and solving the problem of poor adaptability of traditional positioning fixtures. Traditional fixtures can usually only position workpieces of specific shapes and sizes and cannot effectively adapt to diverse processing needs. This solution enables the fixtures to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, improving positioning accuracy and thus improving the overall processing effect and quality.

[0030] Specifically, the positioning component 201 includes a motor 201a fixedly mounted on the surface of the processing table 101, a transmission screw 201b fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 201a, two threaded sleeves 201c threaded onto the transmission screw 201b, and a first clamping plate 201d fixedly mounted on the surface of the threaded sleeve 201c for workpiece clamping.

[0031] Among them, motor 201a is a bidirectional threaded rod, which can be used to drive two threaded sleeves 201c to move towards or away from each other.

[0032] Furthermore, the positioning component 201 also includes two connecting rods 201e fixedly mounted on the surface of the threaded sleeve 201c, a transmission rod 201f hinged to the surface of the connecting rods 201e, a connecting hinge 201g rotatably mounted between the two transmission rods 201f, and a second clamping plate 201h disposed on the surface of the connecting hinge 201g and used for workpiece clamping.

[0033] Among them, the included angle formed by the two transmission rods 201f in the direction of approaching the transmission screw 201b is greater than 180 degrees.

[0034] Preferably, a guide rail 201i is fixedly installed on the bottom of the processing table 101, and a slider that is used in conjunction with the guide rail 201i is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting hinge 201g.

[0035] The slider is engaged with the inner side of the guide rail 201i. The cooperation between the guide rail 201i and the slider is used to limit the movement of the connecting hinge 201g, further improving the stability of the second clamping plate 201h during movement, thereby improving the clamping and positioning effect of the second clamping plate 201h on the workpiece.

[0036] Furthermore, the surfaces of the first clamping plate 201d and the second clamping plate 201h are respectively provided with grooves, and protective plates are provided inside the grooves.

[0037] The protective plate is made of rubber, and the groove is used to install the protective plate. The function of the protective plate is to protect the workpiece when it is clamped and to prevent scratches on the surface of the workpiece.

[0038] Specifically, the adjustment component 202 includes a fixed block 202a fixedly installed on the top of the connecting hinge 201g, a movable block 202b slidably installed inside the fixed block 202a, a limiting block 202c fixedly installed on the surface of the movable block 202b, and a drive screw 202d for driving the transmission screw 201b to move.

[0039] The drive screw 202d drives the moving block 202b to move, the moving block 202b drives the limiting block 202c to move, and then the limiting block 202c drives the second clamping plate 201h to move, so that the two second clamping plates 201h clamp the sides of workpieces of different sizes, which facilitates limiting workpieces of different sizes and improves the applicability of the device.

[0040] Furthermore, the fixed block 202a has a mating groove inside that is used to cooperate with the moving block 202b, and the limiting block 202c is located inside the vertical groove 103.

[0041] The movable block 202b is located inside the mating groove. The size of the movable block 202b is adapted to the size of the mating groove. The fit between the vertical groove 103 and the limiting block 202c can improve the stability of the second clamping plate 201h when it moves.

[0042] In use, the workpiece is placed on the processing table 101, so that the workpiece is located between the two first clamping plates 201d. Under the action of the motor 201a, the transmission screw 201b is driven to rotate. The transmission screw 201b drives the two threaded sleeves 201c to move towards each other. The threaded sleeves 201c then drive the first clamping plates 201d to move, so that the two first clamping plates 201d move towards each other and clamp the workpiece.

[0043] During the movement of the threaded sleeve 201c, the threaded sleeve 201c drives the connecting rod 201e to move, the connecting rod 201e pushes the transmission rod 201f to rotate, and then the transmission rod 201f pushes the two connecting hinges 201g to move towards each other. The two connecting hinges 201g then drive the two second clamping plates 201h to move towards each other and clamp and position the side of the workpiece. If the second clamping plate 201h cannot contact the side of the workpiece or clamps the side of the workpiece in advance, the clamping position of the second clamping plate 201h needs to be adjusted for workpieces of different sizes.

[0044] First, rotate the drive screw 202d, which drives the moving block 202b to move. The moving block 202b then drives the limiting block 202c and the second clamping plate 201h to move, so that the second clamping plate 201h is as far away from the workpiece as possible. This ensures the clamping effect of the first clamping plate 201d on this type of workpiece. Then, the position of the second clamping plate 201h is finely adjusted. Rotate the drive screw 202d again to drive the second clamping plate 201h to be in contact with the side of the workpiece and clamp and position it. At this time, the position of the second clamping plate 201h is the precise position for clamping this type of workpiece. When clamping the workpiece, the first clamping plate 201d and the second clamping plate 201h can simultaneously perform clamping and positioning operations on the workpiece.

[0045] In summary, the cooperation between the positioning component 201 and the adjusting component 202 enables the clamping and positioning of workpieces of different sizes, improves the positioning effect of the workpiece, and solves the problem of poor adaptability of traditional positioning fixtures. Traditional fixtures can usually only be used to position workpieces of specific shapes and sizes, and cannot effectively adapt to diverse processing needs. This solution enables the fixture to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, improves positioning accuracy, and thus improves the overall processing effect and quality.
