[0014] Based on the above technical features, it is convenient to use the first spring to elastically connect the pressure plate and the wedge.
[0015] Preferably, a wedge is provided at the bottom right side of the intermediate block, a guide slope is provided on the wedge, and an arc-shaped protrusion is provided at the bottom of one end of the pressure plate to cooperate with the guide slope.

[0023] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0024] Oil enters through port A and exits through port B. The hydraulic pressure propels the cylinder forward, which in turn pushes the pressure plate forward via the first spring, causing the pressure plate to rotate around the pin. The non-clamping end of the pressure plate gradually rises, while the clamping end moves downward. Finally, under hydraulic pressure, the first spring is compressed, and the second spring is compressed by the ball head, causing the top of the ball head to press against the top of the cylinder's inner cavity, achieving self-locking. The downward movement of the clamping end of the pressure plate causes the pressure block to clamp the workpiece, thus facilitating both workpiece clamping and self-locking, preventing loosening, improving the workpiece clamping and limiting function, and reducing the impact on workpiece processing efficiency.

[0040] One embodiment of this utility model is shown below: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A self-locking clamping mechanism includes a support 1 and a pin 7. The top of the support 1 is provided with an oil port B 101, which is connected to the top right side of the first cavity 103 of the support 1. An end cap 3 is installed at one end of the support 1, and an oil port A 301 is provided on the left side wall of the end cap 3.

[0042] The other end of the support 1 is movably provided with a pressure plate 9 via a pin 7. One end of the pressure plate 9 is connected to the wedge block 4 via a first spring, and the other end of the pressure plate 9 is connected to a pressure block 2.
[0043] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The other end of the support 1 is equipped with an end cap 2 8 that mates with the pressure plate 9. The pin 7 is installed on the end cap 2 8 and the support 1. The right end of the second cavity 104 of the support 1 and the end cap 2 8 are both provided with mounting holes 102 that mate with the pin 7, so as to facilitate the installation and fixation of the pin 7 with the support 1 and the end cap 2 8.
[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 6The wedge 4 includes an intermediate block 402, which is located on the left side of the inner cavity of the cylinder 5. An end cap 401 is provided on the left side of the intermediate block 402. The end cap 401 is fixedly installed on the left side of the cylinder 5 by screws, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the wedge 4 at one end of the cylinder 5.
[0045] A first spring hole 403 is provided in the middle of the right side wall of the middle block 402. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected in the first spring hole 403. A second spring hole 902 is provided in the middle of one end of the pressure plate 9. The other end of the first spring is fixedly connected in the second spring hole 902, so as to facilitate the elastic connection between the pressure plate 9 and the wedge 4 through the first spring.
[0046] A wedge is provided at the bottom right side of the middle block 402, and a guide slope 404 is provided on the wedge. An arc-shaped protrusion 905 that cooperates with the guide slope 404 is provided at the bottom of one end of the pressure plate 9, so that the pressure plate 9 can slide along the guide slope 404 through the arc-shaped protrusion 905.
[0047] The top of the pressure plate 9 is movably connected to the ball head 6 via a second spring, and the top of the ball head 6 abuts against the top of the inner cavity of the cylinder 5.
[0048] See Figure 1 and Figure 11 The top of the pressure plate 9 is provided with a third spring hole 901, and the second spring is located in the third spring hole 901; the bottom of the ball head 6 is pressed on the second spring, so that the ball head 6 can elastically extend and retract in the third spring hole 901 through the second spring to adjust the tightness of the pressure plate 9, so that when the arc-shaped protrusion 905 of the pressure plate 9 is pressed on the guide slope 404, it fits tightly.
[0049] The front side wall of the pressure plate 9 is provided with a slanted groove 903 that matches the pin 7, so that the end of the pressure plate 9 connected to the pressure block 2 can be raised or pressed during extension and retraction.
[0050] See Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 A sealing ring groove 501 is provided on the left end of the outer wall of the cylinder 5. An O-ring is installed on the outer wall of the cylinder 5 through the sealing ring groove 501, thereby improving the sealing performance between the cylinder 5 and the first cavity 103 of the support 1. Pull blocks 502 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the right side of the inner cavity of the cylinder 5. Arc blocks 904 that cooperate with the pull blocks 502 are provided at the left ends of both the front and rear sides of the pressure plate 9. When the cylinder 5 moves back towards the end cover 3, the pull blocks 502 and the arc blocks 904 come into contact and squeeze, thereby causing the pressure plate 9 to retract and reset.
[0051] Working principle:
[0052] Oil enters through port A 301 and exits through port B 101. In the first cavity 103, hydraulic pressure propels the cylinder 5 forward. The cylinder 5, via a first spring, pushes the pressure plate 9 forward, causing the pin 7 to move to the left relative to the pressure plate 9 in the inclined slide groove 903. After reaching the leftmost end of the inclined slide groove 903, the cylinder 5 continues to advance under hydraulic pressure. The bottom of the non-pressing end of the pressure plate 9 slides onto the guide slope 404 of the wedge head of the wedge block 4 via the arc-shaped protrusion 905 and slides along the guide slope 404, causing the pressure plate 7 to move forward. Plate 9 rotates around pin 7, the non-clamping end of pressure plate 9 gradually rises, and the clamping end of pressure plate 9 moves down. Finally, under the push of hydraulic pressure, the first spring is squeezed and compressed, and the second spring is squeezed and compressed by ball head 6, so that the top of ball head 6 is pressed against the top of the inner cavity of cylinder 5 to achieve self-locking. The downward movement of the clamping end of pressure plate 9 drives the pressure block 2 to clamp the workpiece, so as to facilitate clamping the workpiece while achieving self-locking, avoiding loosening, thereby improving the clamping and limiting function of the workpiece and reducing the impact on the workpiece processing efficiency.
[0053] Oil enters through port B 101 and exits through port A 301. In the first cavity 103, the oil pressure pushes the cylinder 5 backward to perform the above-mentioned reverse action for reset, causing the pressure plate 9 to retract and the pressing end of the pressure plate 9 to move upward, causing the pressure block 2 to tilt up, without performing the workpiece pressing and limiting work.
[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
