[0035] Furthermore, the base screw 201 is installed inside the mounting hole of the tooling base plate 1, and the first moving steel ball positioning screw 202 at the top is used to position the intake cylinder workpiece 5. The top end face of the first moving steel ball positioning screw 202 is in contact with the bottom of the intake cylinder workpiece 5. The position of the leveling component 2 can be adjusted according to the structure of the intake cylinder workpiece 5.

[0036] Specifically, the support assembly 3 includes: a support body 301, a support base plate 302, and support fixing bolts 303; the support body 301 is installed above the tooling base plate 1, the support base plate 302 is located at the bottom of the support body 301, and the support fixing bolts 303 pass through the four internal corners of the support base plate 302.

[0037] Furthermore, multiple sets of support components 3 are arranged around the intake cylinder workpiece 5. The support components 3 are used to support the pressure plate assembly 4, and the support body 301 is positioned and installed by the support fixing bolts 303.

[0038] In use, the intake cylinder workpiece 5 is placed between the support components 3, the pressure plate component 4 is pressed tightly against the top outer edge of the intake cylinder workpiece 5, and the bottom leveling component 2 is used to support the entire intake cylinder workpiece 5.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which provides an improved design for the first-stage tooling of the moving steel ball positioning screw air intake cylinder.

[0042] Specifically, the pressure plate assembly 4 includes: a pressure plate cylinder 401, a pressure plate body 402, a guide screw 403, a locking nut 404, a guide groove 405, a lower pressure column 406, and a lower pressure sleeve 407; the pressure plate cylinder 401 is fixed to the top of the support body 301, the pressure plate body 402 is installed at the telescopic end of the pressure plate cylinder 401, and the guide groove 405 is opened inside the pressure plate body 402.

[0043] Furthermore, when the telescopic end of the pressure plate cylinder 401 retracts downward, it can drive the pressure plate body 402 to move downward, so that the pressure plate body 402 and the outer edge top of the workpiece 5 in the air inlet cylinder fit together.

[0044] Specifically, the guide screw 403 passes through the interior of the guide groove 405, and the locking nut 404 is threaded onto the surface of the guide screw 403.

[0045] Furthermore, the pressure plate body 402 can slide along the axis of the guide screw 403 via the guide groove 405 to guide the pressure plate body 402. After the pressure plate body 402 presses the workpiece 5 of the air inlet cylinder, the locking nut 404 can be rotated and moved downward along the axis of the guide screw 403 to lock the pressure plate body 402.

[0046] Specifically, the pressure column 406 is located below the pressure plate body 402, and the bottom of the pressure column 406 is fitted with a pressure sleeve 407.

[0050] Specifically, the support rod 602 is fixed to the upper middle part of the positioning base 601, and the second moving steel ball positioning screw 603 is threaded to the top inner side of the support rod 602.

[0051] Furthermore, the steel ball of the second moving steel ball positioning screw 603 is positioned facing the intake cylinder workpiece 5. Rotating the second moving steel ball positioning screw 603 can press the second moving steel ball positioning screw 603 against the intake cylinder workpiece 5.

[0052] In use, the pressure plate cylinder 401 is activated, and its telescopic end retracts inward. The pressure plate body 402 slides along the axis of the guide screw 403 via the guide groove 405, guiding the pressure plate body 402. After the pressure plate body 402 presses against the inlet cylinder workpiece 5, the locking nut 404 is rotated. The locking nut 404 moves downward along the axis of the guide screw 403, locking the pressure plate body 402. The pressure plate body 402 and the outer edge of the inlet cylinder workpiece 5 are in contact with each other. The lower pressure column 406 can move up and down along the axis of the lower pressure sleeve 407. When the pressure plate body 402 presses against the inlet cylinder workpiece 5, the lower pressure column 406 and the inlet cylinder workpiece 5... The outer edges of the workpieces are attached to each other, and the outer edge of the workpiece 5 is stably clamped by the cooperation of the pressure plate body 402 and the lower pressure column 406. Then, the second moving steel ball positioning screw 603 is rotated. The second moving steel ball positioning screw 603 moves along the axis of the second moving steel ball positioning screw 603 on the support vertical rod 602. The first positioning component 6 is used to clamp the workpiece 5 from the inside of the workpiece 5, while the second positioning component 7 is used to clamp the workpiece 5 from the outside of the workpiece 5. The multiple second moving steel ball positioning screws 603 on the periphery and inside firmly hold the workpiece 5 in place, preventing the workpiece 5 from deviating and preventing vibration generated during processing.

[0053] In summary, the pressure plate assembly 4, in cooperation with the pressure plate body 402 and the lower pressure column 406, stably clamps the outer edge of the intake cylinder workpiece 5. Under the action of the first positioning assembly 6 and the second positioning assembly 7, the intake cylinder workpiece 5 is firmly held in place by multiple second moving steel ball positioning screws 603 from the inside and outside, preventing the intake cylinder workpiece 5 from deviating and the vibration generated during processing.
