[0036] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0037] Example:

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides an installation assembly for a quick-change clamp, including: a mounting base (10); an inspection plate 20 mounted on the upper end of the mounting base 10; a locking structure 30 and a visual positioning structure 40 disposed inside the mounting base 10; an installation groove 50 opened at the bottom of the mounting base 10; the locking structure 30 includes a locking screw 31, an abutment block 32 movably connected to one end of the locking screw 31, a linkage block 33 disposed at the tail of the abutment block 32, a support spring 34 connected to one side of the linkage block 33, a locking pin 35 disposed on the outside of the linkage block 33, a communicating groove 36 opened inside the mounting base 10, and a threaded hole 37 adapted to the locking screw 31; the visual positioning structure 40 includes an indicator light 41 disposed on the outside of the mounting base 10, a control circuit board 42 and a battery 43 disposed inside the mounting base 10, and a limit switch 44 mounted on the end of the locking pin 35;

[0039] The upper end of the mounting base 10 is provided with a groove that matches the inspection plate 20, and bolt holes are provided between the mounting base 10 and the inspection plate 20 to facilitate the installation of the inspection plate 20 inside the groove, ensuring that the top of the mounting base 10 and the inspection plate 20 remain parallel, so that the mounting base 10 is a rectangular block structure.

[0040] Four sets of bolt holes are installed at the bottom of the mounting base 10, which are connected to the CNC metalworking machine to provide an auxiliary function and facilitate the installation of the vise.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solutions, the locking structure 30 and the visual positioning structure 40 can solve the problems of traditional installation methods, which usually involve direct bolt fixing or adapter plate installation, requiring frequent replacement of adapter components for different specifications of vises, with replacement operations taking up to 15-30 minutes per operation; existing locking mechanisms mostly adopt an exposed design, which makes it easy for processing debris to enter and cause the mechanism to jam, resulting in a downtime rate of up to 12% according to statistics; and the lack of visual positioning indicators, requiring operators to repeatedly calibrate the installation position, affecting processing accuracy.

[0042] It should be noted that during the use of the mounting base 10, the inspection plate 20 is installed on the upper end of the mounting base 10, and then the mounting base 10 is installed on a CNC metalworking machine through the bolt holes at the bottom. When the vise needs to be installed, the connecting post at the top of the vise (the connecting post is existing technology and will not be described in detail) is inserted into the interior of the mounting groove 50, so that when the vise contacts the bottom of the mounting base 10, a tool is inserted into the force application groove, and the locking screw 31 is rotated, so that the locking screw 31 rotates along the interior of the threaded hole 37, and at the same time along the end of the contact block 32. The part rotates, causing the contact block 32 to move along the inside of the connecting groove 36, so that the contact block 32 causes the two sets of linkage blocks 33 to squeeze against each other on both sides, while compressing the support spring 34. Then, the four sets of locking pins 35 are squeezed into the inside of the mounting groove 50, and simultaneously inserted into the mounting groove on one side of the connecting column, until the limit switch 44 contacts the bottom of the mounting groove, and feedback is sent to the control circuit board 42. When powered by the battery 43, the control indicator light 41 changes from red to green, which indicates that the vise and the mounting base 10 are installed in place.

[0043] Similarly, when the vise needs to be disassembled, the locking screw 31 is rotated counterclockwise, causing the contact block 32 to stop applying force to the linkage block 33. At the same time, under the elastic potential energy of the support spring 34, the linkage block 33 is reset, which in turn drives the four sets of locking pins 35 to reset, thereby disengaging the ends of the locking pins 35 from the inside of the mounting groove, and thus disassembling the vise.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the device features a more refined structural design. Specifically, rounded corners are carefully provided at the ends of the linkage block 33 and the abutment block 32. This rounded corner design is not arbitrary, but rather the result of precise calculations and repeated practical verification. Its purpose is to reduce friction and collision between components, making the relative movement of the linkage block 33 and the abutment block 32 smoother, effectively reducing wear, and extending the service life of the components.

[0045] Meanwhile, a wedge-shaped opening is formed on the outer side of the linkage block 33. The shape, size, and angle of this wedge-shaped opening have been rigorously designed to ensure perfect functionality. Correspondingly, a wedge block with a parallelogram structure is fixed to one side of the locking pin 35. This special structural design allows for precise and effective compression between the wedge-shaped opening and the wedge block when the contact block 32 presses against the linkage block 33. When this compression occurs, the wedge block drives the locking pin 35 to move stably outward. Moreover, throughout the compression process, the wedge block never disengages from the interior of the wedge-shaped opening. This characteristic is crucial, ensuring that when subsequent disassembly is required, the support spring 34 can smoothly compress and reset the linkage block 33 and related components, allowing the entire device to be reused repeatedly and maintain stable performance.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, a force-applying groove is provided on one side of the locking screw 31. This force-applying groove employs an internal hexagonal structure, a design that offers several advantages. From a space utilization perspective, the internal hexagonal structure conceals the locking and unlocking methods, without occupying valuable space. During the actual operation of the mounting base 10, this design allows operators to perform related operations more conveniently and quickly, avoiding potential interference and inconvenience caused by exposed structures, greatly improving operational efficiency and convenience.

[0047] Another alternative embodiment focuses on the design of the connecting groove 36. The connecting groove 36 is ingeniously composed of an "I"-shaped groove and an "I"-shaped groove, and communicates with the mounting groove 50. The "I"-shaped groove is ingeniously designed, providing a solid foundation for the movement of the linkage block 33 and the locking pin 35. Whether it is the sliding of the linkage block 33 or the extension and retraction of the locking pin 35, it can be carried out accurately and stably under the guidance of the "I"-shaped groove, ensuring the precision and reliability of the movement of the internal components of the device. The "I"-shaped groove design fully considers the need for the locking screw 31 to drive the movement of the abutment block 32. It provides suitable space and path for the movement of the abutment block 32, allowing the abutment block 32 to smoothly further abut against the linkage block 33, thereby realizing the linkage function of the entire device and ensuring the coordinated work between the various components of the device.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, one end of the linkage block 33 has an inner groove adapted to the support spring 34. This inner groove is precisely dimensionally designed, with its depth, width, and shape perfectly matching the support spring 34. This design securely limits the support spring 34 to the end of the linkage block 33. This limiting function is crucial in actual operation, effectively preventing misalignment and jamming of the support spring 34. Only when the support spring 34 is in the correct position and can freely extend and retract can it reliably guarantee the compressive force storage and ejective release force of the linkage block 33, ensuring the entire device can stably perform its function during operation.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, an electrical connection and visual positioning system are involved. Indicator lights 41, battery 43, and limit switches 44 are all stably electrically connected to the control circuit board 42. The indicator lights 41 are arranged in two groups in an array, with the two groups using red and green lights respectively. This color-coded design allows the operator to intuitively and quickly obtain information about the device's operating status.

[0050] Specifically, when limit switch 44 is not triggered, the red light illuminates, clearly indicating that the connecting post in the vise is positioned within the mounting slot 50 and properly installed. When limit switch 44 is triggered, the green light illuminates, indicating that the mounting slot on one side of the connecting post and the locking pin 35 have been accurately and reliably installed. This visual positioning operation allows operators to clearly understand the installation status of the device without complex inspections and judgments. Furthermore, this design is significant in later use. When the locking pin 35 becomes loose between itself and the mounting slot, the corresponding indicator light will change, allowing operators to promptly detect the problem and take appropriate maintenance measures, ensuring the device is always in good working order and improving its reliability and safety.
