[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a flange processing fixture of this utility model includes a support plate 3, on which multiple pads 1 are fixed. Each pad 1 has a through hole 2 penetrating the support plate 3 at its center. Positioning posts 4 are provided on both sides of each pad 1. Positioning protrusions 5 are coaxially provided on the upper end face of each positioning post 4. A flange 6 is placed on the pad 1. The flange 6 has a center hole 7 at its center. Side plates 8 are provided on both sides of the flange 6. Bolt holes 9 are provided on the side plates 8. The positioning protrusions 5 pass through the bolt holes 9. A positioning pin 10 is connected in the through hole 2. The positioning pin 10 includes a guide part 11 and a pressing head 12 located at the top of the guide part 11. The guide part 11 passes through the center hole 7 and the through hole 2. The pressing head 12 presses against the upper end face of the flange 6. A rubber ring 13 is provided between the pressing head 12 and the flange 6. A pull-down assembly 16 for gripping the guide part 11 and pulling it down is connected to the bottom end of the guide part 11.
[0018] The pull-down assembly 16 includes an L-shaped block 14 with its vertical portion facing downwards and perpendicular to the length direction of the support plate 3. A cylinder 15 is provided on one side of the support plate 3, perpendicular to its length direction. The push rod of the cylinder 15 is connected to the L-shaped block 14. The front end of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped block 14 has a notch 17 extending backwards from its end face. The bottom of both sides of the notch 17 has downward inclined surfaces 18. The top of the inclined surface 18 extends into the inside of the notch 17 and forms a hook-shaped portion 19. The bottom of the guide portion 11 has a V-shaped groove 20 along its circumference. The bottom end of the guide portion 11 extends into the notch 17. The hook-shaped portion 19 extends into the V-shaped groove 20. The inclined surface 18 abuts against the lower inclined surface 21 of the V-shaped groove 20. The angle between the inclined surface 18 and the vertical surface gradually decreases from the end of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped block 14 inwards.
[0019] The lower end face of the support plate 3 is connected to a plurality of vertical plates 22, which are disposed on the workbench. A connecting plate 23 is fixed to one side of each vertical plate 22. The cylinder 15 is disposed on the connecting plate 23. A positioning rod is fixed to the upper end face of each vertical plate 22. The lower end face of the support plate 3 is provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning rod extends into the positioning hole. Connecting blocks are provided on both sides of the support plate 3 on the workbench. A lifting cylinder 24 is provided on the upper end face of each connecting block.

[0020] The support plate 3 has handles 26 connected to both sides.
[0021] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: The flange 6 to be processed is placed on the pad 1, the positioning protrusion 5 extends into the bolt hole 9, the rubber ring 13 is fitted onto the guide part 11 of the positioning pin 10, and then the positioning pin 10 is inserted into the center hole 7 of the flange 6. The bottom end of the positioning pin 10 passes through the pad 1 and the support plate 3 and protrudes from the lower end face of the support plate 3. The cylinder 15 drives the L-shaped block 14 to extend, the bottom of the guide part 11 enters the notch 17, the hook part 19 enters the V-groove 20, and the inclined surface 18 abuts against the lower inclined surface of the V-groove 20. 21, thereby preventing the positioning pin 10 from moving in the vertical direction, the cylinder 15 drives the L-shaped block 14 to continue to advance. Since the angle between the inclined surface 18 and the vertical surface gradually decreases from the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped block 14 inward, the inclined surface 18 presses down on the lower inclined surface 21 of the V-groove 20, thereby pulling the positioning pin 10 downward and fixing the flange 6 on the support plate 3. After the flange 6 is processed, the cylinder 15 drives the L-shaped block 14 to reset, the hook-shaped part 19 exits the V-groove 20, and the positioning pin 10 is pulled upward, so that the flange 6 can be taken out.
[0022] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model.
