Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1-4A clamping device for milling keyways includes: a fixed plate 100, a limiting chain 200, and a fixing assembly 400. A limiting frame 101, a first electric push rod 102, and a support frame 103 are provided above the fixed plate 100. The limiting frame 101, the first electric push rod 102, and the support frame 103 are on the same horizontal line. The limiting frame 101 is located on the side of the support frame 103 away from the first electric push rod 102. The limiting chain 200 is located above the fixed plate 100. A processing part 300 is provided below one side of the limiting chain 200 and is located on the surface of the support frame 103. The fixing assembly 400 is located below the fixed plate 100. One side of the limiting chain 200 is movably connected to the fixing assembly 400.

[0032] In this embodiment of the utility model, when it is necessary to clamp the workpiece 300, the fixing plate 100 is fixed on the worktable, and a certain space is required below the fixing plate 100. The fixing plate 100 is fixed below the milling machine, and the workpiece 300 is placed above the support frame 103. The support frame 103 supports the bottom of the workpiece 300, and one end of the workpiece 300 is attached to the limiting frame 101. The other end of the workpiece 300 is attached to the output end of the first electric push rod 102. The first electric push rod 102 squeezes one end of the workpiece 300 so that the other end of the workpiece 300 is precisely attached to the limiting frame 101.

[0033] In this embodiment of the utility model, when the workpiece 300 is placed, it is placed inside the limiting chain 200. The limiting chain 200 surrounds the surface of the workpiece 300. The lower part of the limiting chain 200 is stretched and clamped by the fixing component 400, so that the lower part of the limiting chain 200 is in close contact with the surface of the workpiece 300. The workpiece 300 is clamped in multiple directions by the limiting frame 101, the first electric push rod 102 and the limiting chain 200, which improves the stability of the workpiece 300 when milling grooves. The limiting chain 200 can clamp workpieces 300 of different diameters, which greatly reduces the time for changing molds and improves the efficiency of milling grooves.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting frame 101 is attached to one end of the workpiece 300, one side of the first electric push rod 102 is attached to the other end of the workpiece 300, the upper surface of the support frame 103 is V-shaped or arc-shaped and is attached to the surface of the workpiece 300, a limiting groove 104 is opened on the middle surface of the support frame 103, the limiting groove 104 is located below the workpiece 300, the fixing assembly 400 includes two second electric push rods 401 disposed below the fixing plate 100, one side of the output end of the two second electric push rods 401 is driven to connect to the limiting rod 403, and the two limiting rods 403 are movably connected to one side of the limiting chain 200.

[0035] In this embodiment of the utility model, a support block is installed below the limiting frame 101 to improve the connection strength between the limiting frame 101 and the lower fixing plate 100. The first electric push rod 102 pushes the support frame 103. The two ends of the support frame 103 are clamped by the limiting frame 101 and the first electric push rod 102, which greatly improves the stability of the workpiece 300 in use.

[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, the support frame 103 supports the lower part of the workpiece 300. Multiple support frames 103 can be installed to support different positions of the workpiece 300. The second electric push rod 401 pushes the limiting rod 403, causing the limiting rod 403 to retract downward. The lower part of the limiting chain 200 limits the upper surface of the workpiece 300, restricting the upward movement force of the workpiece 300 and improving the stability of the workpiece 300 during the milling process.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two guide rails 402 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the fixed plate 100, and two limiting rods 403 slide inside the two guide rails 402 respectively. The limiting chain 200 is composed of multiple limiting shafts and multiple limiting blocks. One side surface of the limiting chain 200 is in contact with the outer wall of the workpiece 300. Multiple limiting teeth 201 are equidistantly provided on the surface of the limiting chain 200, and the multiple limiting teeth 201 are opened laterally.

[0038] In this embodiment of the utility model, the lateral limiting teeth 201 increase the surface friction of the limiting chain 200. The guide rail 402 is installed below the fixed plate 100. The guide rail 402 limits the limiting rod 403. The limiting rod 403 slides inside the guide rail 402. The limiting chain 200 slides between the two guide rails 402, which improves the stability of the limiting chain 200 during the stretching process.

[0039] In this embodiment of the utility model, the limiting chain 200 changes its internal diameter through multiple limiting shafts. The flexibility of the limiting chain 200 allows it to fit workpieces 300 of different diameters. The limiting chain 200 increases the contact area with the workpiece 300, thereby improving stability. The limiting teeth 201 on the surface of the limiting chain 200 increase the contact area between the limiting chain 200 and the workpiece 300, thereby improving friction and stability.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the limiting frame 101 extends away from the workpiece 300, and the lower surface of the limiting frame 101 is in contact with the upper surface of the fixing plate 100. The output end of the first electric push rod 102 is equipped with a baffle that slides vertically above the fixing plate 100.

[0041] In this embodiment of the utility model, the extension surface of the limiting frame 101 increases the contact area between the upper part of the fixing plate 100 and the limiting frame 101. The extension surface of the limiting frame 101 is inclined to the side away from the workpiece 300 to improve the structural strength. The first electric push rod 102 pushes the baffle to fit against one end of the workpiece 300. A slide rail is installed below the baffle to increase the stability of the baffle when sliding.

[0042] In this embodiment of the utility model, the baffle increases the contact area between the output end of the first electric push rod 102 and the surface of the workpiece 300. The baffle and the limiting frame 101 clamp the two ends of the workpiece 300. The extension surface of the limiting frame 101 increases the support strength of the workpiece 300, making the workpiece 300 less prone to shaking and improving the stability of the workpiece 300 during the milling process.

[0043] It should be noted that the first electric actuator 102 and the second electric actuator 401 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the first electric actuator 102 and the second electric actuator 401 can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
