[0013] Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of the fixture used to position the machine tool's column and worktable relative to each other in the embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0014] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0015] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides a fixture (hereinafter referred to as fixture) for positioning the column and worktable of a machine tool to each other. The machine tool includes a worktable and a first column and a second column located on the transverse sides of the worktable. The first column and the second column are used to install the slide of the machine tool, and with the assistance of the fixture, the worktable is precisely positioned between the two columns of the machine tool.

[0017] The fixture in this embodiment includes a fixture body 10. The fixture body 10 includes a first positioning part 1 and a second positioning part 2 arranged horizontally to the left and right, and an intermediate part 3 connected between the first positioning part 1 and the second positioning part 2. The first positioning part 1 is used to limit the horizontal distance between the first column and the worktable, the second positioning part 2 is used to limit the horizontal distance between the second column and the worktable, and the horizontal dimension L1 of the intermediate part 3 is equal to the horizontal dimension of the worktable.

[0018] In this embodiment, the first positioning part 1, the second positioning part 2, and the middle part 3 are arranged in a straight line. Of course, the first positioning part 1, the second positioning part 2, and the middle part 3 can be integrally connected by welding or screwing, or they can be integrally cast.

[0019] A first limiting plate 4 is provided between the first positioning part 1 and the middle part 3, and a second limiting plate 4' is provided between the second positioning part 2 and the middle part 3. The first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 4' are respectively used to abut the two ends of the worktable in its horizontal direction to limit the relative position of the worktable between the first column and the second column. The horizontal dimension L2 of the first positioning part 1 is equal to the horizontal dimension L3 of the second positioning part 2 to ensure that the two columns are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the horizontal direction of the worktable, and also to achieve a fast and accurate positioning function.

[0020] During positioning, the fixture is placed between the first column and the second column, with the first column and the second column respectively close to the first positioning part 1 and the second positioning part 2. Then the worktable is moved between the first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 4' and abuts against each other. In this way, the worktable can be quickly and conveniently positioned between the two columns.

[0021] In summary, by using the first positioning part 1 to limit the lateral distance between the first column and the worktable, the second positioning part 2 to limit the lateral distance between the second column and the worktable, and the lateral dimension of the middle part 3 being equal to the lateral dimension of the worktable, the worktable can be quickly and conveniently positioned between the first column and the second column. This method is time-saving, labor-saving, highly efficient, accurate, and low-cost. It also avoids the influence of unfavorable factors such as operators, measuring tools, and usage scenario layout, and can effectively and timely track target dynamics.

[0022] The fixture in this embodiment can shorten the positioning time, provide accurate positioning, stable results, reduce human error, and is easy to operate. It is also suitable for various workpieces and production scenarios, saving manpower and resources.

[0023] Of course, in other embodiments, the lateral dimension L2 of the first positioning part 1 may also be different from the lateral dimension L3 of the second positioning part 2, depending on the overall layout structure of the machine tool.

[0024] In another preferred embodiment, a first support member 5 is provided between the first limiting plate 4 and the first positioning part 1, and a second support member 5' is provided between the second limiting plate 4' and the second positioning part 2. Specifically, the first support member 5 and the second support member 5' are both triangular support plates, so as to further strengthen the structural strength between the middle part 3 and the two positioning parts, and also ensure that the fixture of this embodiment can maintain good positioning accuracy and stability.

[0025] Of course, in other embodiments, the two support members can also adopt an inclined reinforcing rib structure; in addition, the support members can be omitted, and positioning can be achieved solely by the rigid connection between the fixture body 10 and the two limiting plates.

[0026] More preferably, the fixture body 10 is configured as a frame with a groove structure to achieve a weight reduction effect.

[0027] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
