[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, a clamping and positioning device for machining long beam structural components includes a gantry machining center platform 1 and fixtures. Several fixtures are arranged in a straight line on the gantry machining center platform, forming two rows, each row being a workstation, constituting two workstations. The fixtures of adjacent workstations are symmetrically distributed. Each fixture 2 includes a base 21, which includes a fixing plate 211 and a bottom plate 212. The bottom plate 212 is welded to the upper part of the middle of the fixing plate 211, and the fixing plate 211 and the bottom plate 212 are integrally formed. The bottom of the fixing plate 211 is attached to the upper part of the gantry machining center platform 1, and a T-shaped positioning block is welded to the bottom of the fixing plate 211. The gantry machining center platform 1 has a T-shaped groove, and the T-shaped positioning block and the T-shaped groove are fitted together. The bottom plate 212 is positioned from left to right in the middle of its upper part. A rotary cylinder 22, a right-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 23, a left-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 24, and an electric hydraulic station 25 are connected sequentially along the length direction. The rotary cylinder 22, the right-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 23, and the left-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 24 are bolted to the base plate 212. The pistons of the right-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 23 and the left-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 24 extend in opposite directions, perpendicular to the length direction of the base. The pistons of both the right-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 23 and the left-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 24 are connected to pressure heads 27. The rotary cylinder 22, the right-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 23, the left-sensor type radially laterally mounted thin-film cylinder 24, and the electric hydraulic station 25 are connected in sequence along the length direction. Both the lateral-mounted thin hydraulic cylinder 23 and the left-induction radial-lateral-mounted thin hydraulic cylinder 24 are connected to the electric hydraulic station 25 via oil pipes, and the electric hydraulic station 25 is connected to a power source. The piston of the rotary cylinder 22 faces upwards, and a pressure rod 28 is connected above the piston. Both ends of the pressure rod 28 are connected to the base plate 212 of the base via screws 29. Stop blocks 26 are vertically connected to both sides of the fixed plate 211. The stop blocks 26 are replaceable, and their shape can be changed according to the shape of the long beam workpiece. A conduit 4 is installed on the gantry machining center platform 1. Magnetic induction sensors are installed inside both the right-induction radial-lateral-mounted thin hydraulic cylinder 23 and the left-induction radial-lateral-mounted thin hydraulic cylinder 24. The dual-station configuration allows for clamping four workpieces, improving production efficiency. Each workpiece... The design incorporates multiple fixtures for more stable workpiece clamping and positioning, reducing machining errors. The fixtures and gantry machining center platform utilize T-shaped positioning blocks and T-slots for enhanced stability. A conduit is incorporated to ensure orderly and concealed wiring, keeping the gantry machining center platform tidy and preventing wire damage. Right-hand and left-hand induction radially mounted thin-walled hydraulic cylinders, combined with stops on both sides of the base, limit the sidewalls of the long beam workpiece, ensuring its straightness. A rotating hydraulic cylinder and pressure rod clamp the workpiece from above, achieving multi-directional workpiece fixation, automatic alignment, rapid clamping, and uniform clamping, preventing deformation of the long beam structure due to cutting forces and thermal stress.

[0024] The clamping and positioning process is as follows: Figure 5 As shown:

[0025] Clamping: Place the workpiece 3 on both sides of the fixture 4. The bottom of the fixing plate 211 is attached to the gantry machining center platform 1 to ensure that the gap between the lower plane of the workpiece 3 and the workpiece 3 is no more than 0.3mm. The T-shaped positioning block is fitted into the T-slot of the gantry machining center platform 1. Using the T-slot as the coordinate reference, the straightness of the workpiece 3 during operation is ensured to be no more than 0.3mm. The rotating cylinder 22 of the fixture 4 can rotate 340 degrees. When rotating to the radial direction, tighten the bolts 29 at both ends of the pressure rod 28 so that the two ends of the pressure rod 28 are attached to the upper plane of the workpiece 3 to clamp the workpiece 3.

[0026] Radial positioning: The right induction radial lateral mounting thin hydraulic cylinder 23 and the left induction radial lateral mounting thin hydraulic cylinder 24 respectively push the piston to reciprocate within the cylinder, so that the pressure head 27 is pressed against the side of the workpiece 3. Through the magnetic induction sensors inside the right induction radial lateral mounting thin hydraulic cylinder 23 and the left induction radial lateral mounting thin hydraulic cylinder 24, position sensing and control are achieved while bearing lateral force, ultimately realizing accurate detection and control of the piston position. The right induction radial lateral mounting thin hydraulic cylinder 23 and the left induction radial lateral mounting thin hydraulic cylinder 24 can withstand large lateral forces and are suitable for complex working conditions.
