The fixture body 2 has a hollow structure, and several through holes, pin holes and screw holes are opened around the outside of the fixture body 2.

[0019] Both ends of the fixture body 2 are equipped with mounting connectors 1. The end of the mounting connector 1 away from the fixture body 2 is connected to the docking mounting plate 11. A main body fixing block 12 is installed between the mounting connector 1 and the docking mounting plate 11.

[0020] The specific implementation method is as follows: the main body for mounting the fixture main board 3 and the fourth axis is fixed by four main bodies 12. The main body is hollowed out to reduce weight and has expandability. Each of the four sides is provided with multiple through holes, positioning pin holes and screw holes. Each side can be equipped with different models of fixture main boards 3 to adapt to the clamping of various rectangular workpieces.

[0021] A number of positioning blocks 4 are equidistantly installed on the side of the clamp main board 3 away from the clamp body 2. The positioning blocks 4 and the outside of the clamp main board 3 are provided with mounting screw holes, and mounting screws are screwed into the mounting screw holes.

[0022] The specific implementation method is as follows: When installing the positioning block 4 to the outside of the fixture main board 3, first move the positioning block 4 to the outside of the fixture main board 3, and then fix the positioning block 4 by passing the screw rod through the screw hole. It is used for positioning the workpiece. Different sizes of positioning blocks 4 can be replaced to adapt to the clamping of workpieces of different specifications.

[0023] The clamp main board 3 has two mating round openings on both ends of the side away from the clamp body 2, and the clamp body 2 is equipped with positioning pins 7 at the relative positions of the mating round openings. The positioning pins 7 pass through the inside of the mating round openings.

[0024] The specific implementation method is as follows: When the fixture main board 3 is installed on the outside of the fixture body 2, the positioning pin 7 passes through the docking round opening, and the fixture main board 3 is installed on the outside of the fixture body 2, making the operation faster.

[0025] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a trapezoidal pressure block 501, a U-shaped expansion pressure plate 502, a trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503, and a clamping screw limiting spring 504. The clamping main plate 3 has mating recesses at both ends on the side away from the clamping body 2, and two mating ports are opened in the inner cavity of the mating recesses. The clamping body 2 has mating screws at the relative positions of the mating ports on the outside. The trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 passes through the mating port and connects with the mating screw.

[0026] A U-shaped expansion plate 502 is installed on the end of the trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 away from the mating screw hole, and a trapezoidal pressure block 501 is movably installed on the end of the trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 away from the mating screw hole;

[0027] The specific implementation method is as follows: A reliable clamping state is formed by the inclined surfaces of the trapezoidal pressure block 501 and the U-shaped expansion pressure plate 502. The trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 passes through the trapezoidal pressure block 501 and the U-shaped expansion pressure plate 502. Tightening the trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 causes the U-shaped expansion pressure plate 502 to expand outward, applying a uniform clamping force. After the screw is tightened, the workpiece is stably fixed. The U-shaped expansion pressure plate 502 is installed in the mating recess of the main plate 3 of the fixture, responsible for expansion... The tensioning part protrudes outward so that the U-shaped expansion plate 502 can expand outward when the trapezoidal pressure block 501 is pressed down. A retaining spring groove is provided below the trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 of the trapezoidal pressure block 501, and a clamping screw limit retaining spring 504 is installed to prevent the trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 from coming off. At the same time, when the clamp is released, the clamping screw limit retaining spring 504 can drag the trapezoidal pressure block 501 back to its original position to prevent the trapezoidal pressure block 501 and the U-shaped expansion plate 502 from getting stuck.

[0028] Working principle: This utility model is used to install the main clamping plate 3 and connect the fourth axis. It is fixed by four main bodies 12. The main body is hollowed out to reduce weight and has expandability. Each of the four sides is provided with multiple through holes, positioning pin holes and screw holes. Each side can be equipped with different models of main clamping plates 3 to adapt to the clamping of various rectangular workpieces.

[0029] The trapezoidal clamping block 501 and the U-shaped expanding clamping plate 502 cooperate on their inclined surfaces to form a reliable clamping state. The trapezoidal clamping block clamping screw 503 passes through the trapezoidal clamping block 501 and the U-shaped expanding clamping plate 502. Tightening the trapezoidal clamping block clamping screw 503 causes the U-shaped expanding clamping plate 502 to expand outward, applying a uniform clamping force. After the screw is tightened, the workpiece is stably fixed. The U-shaped expanding clamping plate 502 is installed in the mating recess of the main plate 3 of the fixture and is responsible for expansion and clamping. Part of it protrudes outward so that the U-shaped expansion plate 502 can expand outward when the trapezoidal pressure block 501 is pressed down. A retaining spring groove is provided below the trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 of the trapezoidal pressure block 501, and a clamping screw limit retaining spring 504 is installed to prevent the trapezoidal pressure block clamping screw 503 from coming off. At the same time, when the clamp is released, the clamping screw limit retaining spring 504 can drag the trapezoidal pressure block 501 back to its original position to prevent the trapezoidal pressure block 501 and the U-shaped expansion plate 502 from getting stuck.
