[0002] like Figures 1 to 4 The diagram shows an air dryer housing structure, typically formed by casting and then machining. The air dryer housing structure includes a housing 1. At the left end of the housing are four horizontally extending connecting cylinders: a first connecting cylinder 2, a second connecting cylinder 3, a third connecting cylinder 4, and a fourth connecting cylinder 5, arranged in a trapezoidal pattern in the vertical plane. The diameters of the first and second connecting cylinders are larger than those of the third and fourth connecting cylinders, and the horizontally extending length of the first connecting cylinder is greater than that of the second connecting cylinder. A blind-hole structure mounting cavity 6 is provided on the right end face of the housing. Three horizontally extending mounting cylinders 7 are arranged in an array on the housing corresponding to the circumference of the mounting cavity. The upper side of the housing has a vertically upward-pointing first connecting cylinder 8 and a second connecting cylinder 9, with the diameter of the first connecting cylinder being larger than that of the second connecting cylinder. A connecting cylinder 10 is located at the center of the lower side of the housing, and a protruding, annular connecting flange 11 is provided around the outside of the connecting cylinder. A mating cavity 12, two connecting ports 13, and a plug-in interface 14 are provided on the front side of the housing. A horizontally outwardly oriented connecting post 15 is provided on the rear side of the housing, and the connecting post has a threaded connecting hole. A reinforcing rib 16 is integrally formed between the two connecting posts. A first mating cavity 17 and a second mating cavity 18 are also provided. During machining, the lower side of the housing needs to be machined. Due to the irregular design of the air dryer housing structure, clamping it is very difficult.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a clamping device for air dryer housing that has a simple and reasonable structural design, is more convenient to operate and use, and has stable and reliable clamping has become a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to provide an air dryer housing clamping device with a simple and reasonable structural design, which is more convenient to operate and use, and has stable and reliable clamping.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an air dryer housing clamping device, including a horizontal base plate, with vertically downward mounting plates at both ends of the base plate. A clamping station is formed below the base plate and between the two mounting plates for placing the air dryer housing to be clamped, with the left and right ends of the air dryer housing facing the inner surfaces of the two mounting plates respectively. A clamping block is provided on one of the mounting plates, corresponding to the mounting cylinder on the air dryer housing. The clamping block has a clamping surface that abuts and supports the end face of the mounting cylinder, and a positioning post is provided on the clamping block and inserted into the mounting cylinder. A clamping block is provided on the other mounting plate, corresponding to the first and second docking cylinders on the air dryer housing respectively. A horizontal motion drive mechanism is provided between the mounting plate and the clamping block, which can drive the clamping block to move toward the air dryer housing, so that the inner side of the clamping block abuts and supports the end faces of the first and second docking cylinders. A vertically downward support block is provided on the base plate, corresponding to the first docking cylinder on the air dryer housing. The lower end of the support block forms a support surface and abuts and supports the upper side of the outer peripheral surface of the outer end of the first docking cylinder.

A positioning post is set and inserted into the mounting cylinder. A clamping block is then set on the other mounting plate, with its inner side abutting against and supporting the end faces of the first and second docking cylinders, thus clamping the workpiece. Finally, a support block is set on the base plate, with its support surface abutting against and supporting the upper side of the outer circumferential surface of the first docking cylinder, thus clamping the workpiece. The entire clamping device has a simple design, making it easier to clamp the workpiece, facilitating clamping operations, and ensuring more reliable clamping positions on the workpiece, thus better preventing damage to the workpiece, and providing more stable and reliable clamping.

[0014] Furthermore, a clearance notch is provided on the bottom surface inside the support notch on the vertical section of the support block, which is arranged horizontally through its thickness direction.

[0015] As an optimization, a chip discharge port extending through its thickness is provided on the base plate at a position opposite to the clamping station.

[0016] In this way, by setting up a chip discharge port, it is easier to discharge waste chips.

[0017] As an optimization, the clamping block is provided with a ring-shaped and protruding clamping flange, the outer end face of which forms the clamping surface; a positioning pin hole is provided on the inner side of the clamping flange on the clamping block, and the positioning pin is installed in the positioning pin hole.

[0018] In this way, the structure of the clamping block is simpler and more reasonable, and it can better support and position the workpiece.

[0019] Furthermore, the clamping block is detachably mounted on the mounting plate via connecting screws.

[0020] As an optimization, the structure also includes a seat plate rotation control section, which includes a first base plate and a second base plate that are horizontally arranged at both ends of the seat plate. A rotation drive section and a rotation driven section are respectively installed on the first base plate and the second base plate. The two ends of the seat plate are automatically mounted on the rotation drive head and rotation driven head of the rotation drive section and the rotation driven section by the mounting and fixing structure.

[0021] In this way, by designing the structure of the seat plate rotation control part, the entire equipment and the workpiece clamped on the equipment can be driven to rotate, so that the lower side of the workpiece faces upward, which makes it easier to clamp and machine, and also makes it easier to disassemble the workpiece.

[0022] Furthermore, each of the first and second base plates has a guide groove on its lower surface, and each of the first and second base plates also has a mounting hole for connecting to the machine tool worktable.

[0023] As an optimization, the mounting structure includes a fixing plate connected and fixed to the end of the base plate and located outside the mounting plate. The fixing plate is fixed to the rotating drive head and the rotating driven head by screws.

[0024] In this way, by designing a fixing plate, it is easier to install and fix the base plate on the rotating drive head and the rotating driven head.

[0025] In summary, the aforementioned air dryer housing clamping device features a simple and reasonable structural design, making it more convenient to operate and use, and providing stable and reliable clamping. Attached Figure Description
