[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the tailstock of the indexing plate of the machining center includes an indexing plate 1, a clamping assembly 4 and a positioning bolt 24. The indexing plate 1 facilitates the rotation and adjustment of the clamping assembly 4. A tailstock 2 is provided on the right side of the indexing plate 1. A limiting assembly 3 is provided on the indexing plate 1 and the tailstock 2 to limit and fix different clamping assemblies 4.

[0025] The limiting assembly 3 includes a limiting plate 31, a limiting bolt 32, a limiting hole 33, and a fixing bolt 34. The limiting plate 31 is disposed on the indexing plate 1 and the positioning bolt 24. The limiting bolt 32 is disposed on the opposite side of the limiting plate 31, and its other end passes through and is connected to the positioning bolt 24. The limiting bolt 32 and the limiting hole 33 are opened on the limiting plate 31, and both ends pass through to its top and bottom.

[0026] Specifically, there are multiple limiting holes 33, and there are intervals between the multiple limiting holes 33. The limiting holes 33 can be easily adapted to clamp assemblies 4 of different sizes through limiting bolts 32.

[0027] Specifically, the tailstock 2 includes a fixed plate 21, a limiting groove 22, a positioning groove 23, a positioning bolt 24, a sealing ring 25, a bearing 26, a nut 27, a protective cover 28, and a limiting assembly 3. The limiting groove 22 is formed on the fixed plate 21, and the limiting groove 22 facilitates the limiting of the sealing ring 25. The positioning groove 23 is formed on the fixed plate 21, and its other end is connected to the limiting groove 22. The positioning groove 23 facilitates the limiting of the bearing 26. The positioning bolt 24 is located on the limiting groove 22, and the sealing ring 25... The sealing ring 25 is fitted onto the positioning bolt 24 to prevent lubricating oil from dripping from the bearing 26.

[0030] Specifically, there are multiple positioning holes 42, and there is a spacing between the multiple positioning holes 42. The spacing between the multiple positioning holes 42 is equal to the spacing between the multiple limiting holes 33, so that the fixing bolts 34 can pass through the positioning holes 42 and the limiting holes 33 for threaded connection, thereby limiting and fixing the fixture frame 41. When the base plate of the fixture frame 41 is relatively thick, the fixing bolts 34 can be installed from the top of the limiting holes 33 upwards, passing through the limiting holes 33 and the positioning holes 42 for threaded connection, thereby limiting and fixing the fixture frame 41.

[0031] Specifically, the working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows:

[0032] When it is necessary to limit and fix the fixture frame 41 with different widths or thicknesses at the front and back, first place it on the center of the limiting plate 31, align the center of the positioning hole 42 with the center of the limiting hole 33, and then screw the fixing bolt 34 from the top of the positioning hole 42 downward into the inside of the limiting hole 33 to limit and fix the fixture frame 41. When the bottom thickness of the fixture frame 41 is greater than the length of the fixing bolt 34, screw the fixing bolt 34 from the bottom of the limiting hole 33 upward into the inside of the positioning hole 42, thereby completing the limit and fixation of the fixture frame 41 of different sizes.
