[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a clamping mechanism for a vertical CNC lathe includes a mounting base 1, which has a U-shaped structure. A square frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the mounting base 1, and four screws 3 are threaded onto the square frame 2. Arc-shaped grooves 4 are respectively opened on both sides of the mounting base 1. An arched platform 5 is arranged inside the two arc-shaped grooves 4. A drive mechanism 6 for tilting the arched platform 5 is arranged inside the mounting base 1. A worktable 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the arched platform 5.

During the workpiece processing, the debris will accumulate on the surface of the worktable 7. After the workpiece is processed, the drive mechanism 6 can be started to tilt the arched table 5 at a certain angle. At the same time, the rotation mechanism 9 is controlled to make the worktable 7 rotate according to the preset angle and speed. The air pump mechanism 10 blows the debris on the surface of the worktable 7. At this time, the debris will fall into the interior of the mounting base 1 and be collected to prevent the debris from flying and affecting the production environment.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes a servo motor 601. The servo motor 601 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting base 1.

The gas sprayed out through nozzle 1010 can blow away the debris on top of workbench 7.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the inner bottom surface of the mounting base 1 is provided with a discharge port 13. The inner bottom surface of the mounting base 1 is inclined towards the center. Two guide plates 14 are fixedly installed on the top of the arched platform 5. It should be noted that when installing, the discharge port 13 is aligned with the chip discharge port 13 in the CNC lathe. The chips that have entered the interior of the mounting base 1 can be further discharged.
