In order to improve the sealing between the piston 112 and the working chamber, a seal ring i 113 may be provided on the piston 112, but in order to limit the seal ring i 113 to the piston 112 well, a mounting groove may be provided in the body of the piston 112 around the circumference, and the seal ring i 113 may be provided in the mounting groove. In the figure, three groups of sealing rings I113 and matched mounting grooves can be correspondingly arranged, and other number combinations can be also arranged. With the sealing ring engaged, the maximum outer diameter of the piston 112 may be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the working chamber. The clamp carrier comprises a carrier 117 and a convex body 110, the carrier 117 has a working surface for supporting the workpiece (the support of the working surface to the workpiece can be a flat platform structure for directly placing the workpiece on the carrier, i.e. can be in a platform form as shown in fig. 7, can be indirectly limited by other or connecting components, the working surface can be a flat platform structure, can be a limiting structure designed for matching the shape of the workpiece, such as a groove or a step for matching the convex part on the workpiece, and the like, and the support of the corresponding part through the groove or the step and the like can play a role of limiting and supporting the workpiece, and can be a clamping structure with a clamping arm for clamping, such as clamping the workpiece between the clamping arms through which the position can be adjusted, and the convex body 110 is deviated from the working surface (the deviation of the working surface is used for reducing the occupation of the working surface by the convex body 110, so as to obtain a larger carrying space as much as possible) is connected to the stage 117 and protrudes outside the stage 117. As shown in fig. 7, the convex body 110 protrudes from the other side of the working surface of the carrier 117, which is a structure close to a T-shaped table, and meets the requirement of the present embodiment. In order to meet the requirement of the fitting between the clamp carrier and the piston 112, the piston 112 may further be provided with a mounting hole penetrating through the piston 112, so as to fittingly dispose the convex body 110 in the mounting hole, and at this time, the convex body 110 and the piston 112 may be coaxially disposed, and the tight sealing fit between the convex body 110 and the mounting hole may be met, thereby effectively meeting the hydraulic requirement. As shown in the figure, the carrier 117 and the convex body 110 may be both of a column structure, especially a cylindrical structure coaxially arranged, and in order to obtain the carrying capacity, the maximum diameter of the carrier 117 is larger than that of the convex body 110, the top surface of the carrier 117 is a working surface, and the bottom surface of the carrier 117 is connected with the convex body 110.

Of course, the hydraulic balance portion may further include a spring 116 to enable the clamp carrier to obtain elastic recovery and return capability, the spring 116 is disposed in the working cavity, and at least one end of the spring is sleeved outside the limiting body and elastically supports the clamp carrier, at this time, when the clamp carrier is in use, that is, after the carrier 117 in the figure bears a workpiece, the piston 112 is hydraulically supported and also elastically supported by the spring 116, and after the machined workpiece is removed, the spring 116 further pushes the piston 112 to return, that is, the clamp carrier returns. Certainly, in order to provide better matching performance between the clamp carrier and the spring 116, a limiting body is further formed on the other side of the convex body 110 away from the carrier 117, and is used for limiting to one end of the spring 116, so that the connection of the spring 116 can be fixed, and the convex limiting body can also play a role in limiting and guiding the stress, so as to avoid the influence on the service life of the working chamber caused by the cheap stress in the allowing process, wherein the spring 116 is sleeved on the limiting body in the figure.

In order to obtain good processing and maintenance performance, the working chamber may penetrate through the cylinder body and form an upper chamber opening and a lower chamber opening on one side of the cylinder body, wherein the lower chamber opening is generally closed by a back cover, and the back cover and the lower chamber opening are in sealed connection. Further, its border of back cover still is provided with seal groove II, and seal groove II still is provided with sealing member II 115 with matcing, sets up sealing member II 115 in seal groove II through this cooperation to realized under the non-dismantlement state, also under the effective confined state of back cover to the cavity under shed, realized the inseparable cooperation between back cover and the cavity under shed both, in order to prevent to appear leaking under non-operating condition or operating condition.

After the back cover 114 is disposed, the other end of the spring 116 is supported to the back cover 114 and elastically supports the clamp carrier, and in a general form, especially in a working state, after the clamp carries a workpiece, the pressed clamp carrier and the back cover are limited from two ends of the spring 116 to be in a compressed state, that is, the clamp carrier is pressed and moved downwards in the figure, and after the workpiece is removed after processing, the spring 116 is restored and the clamp carrier is moved upwards and returned. Of course, in order to further define the back cover to the lower part of the cylinder, a base 118 may be further defined at the bottom of the cylinder, which enables the back cover 114 to be better defined to the bottom of the cylinder 101. The base 118 may be connected to a threaded hole in the bottom of the cylinder by screws through holes in the base 118.

The cylinder 101 is further formed with a pressure chamber 102, which is used for cooperating with a power device, and further adjusts the pressure of the working chamber 105 by adjusting the pressure of the pressure chamber 102, so as to adjust the carrying capacity of the workpiece, one end of the pressure chamber 102 has an opening located on the side wall of the cylinder 101, the other end of the pressure chamber 102 extends into the cylinder 101, forming a closed structure, and the working chamber 105 and the reservoir chamber 106 are both connected to the pressure chamber 102, and are mainly used for providing pressure by an external power source and transmitting pressure at least to the working chamber 105. The pressure chamber 102 is intended to cooperate with a power source such as a cylinder to provide sufficient working fluid pressure to the working chamber 105, which pressure is also transmitted between the working chamber 105 and the reservoir chamber 106. Further, the pressure chamber 102 is formed below the reservoir chamber 106.

The cylinder body 101 is further provided with an external connecting pipe I104 and an external connecting pipe II 103, the external connecting pipe I104 and the external connecting pipe II 103 are normally in a closed state under the working state, the external connecting pipe I104 and the external connecting pipe II 103 are adjacently arranged on one side, far away from the working cavity 105, of the pressure cavity 102, and the external connecting pipe I104 and the external connecting pipe II 103 are communicated with the pressure cavity 102. Furthermore, the junction between the external connection pipe I104 and the external connection pipe II 103 and the pressure chamber 102 is formed with a transition section III 1021 and a transition section III 1022. At this time, a transition section III 1022 is formed at the lower portion of the reservoir chamber 106 and communicates with the bottom of the reservoir chamber 106.

As shown in fig. 3, a sinking portion 107 is further formed at the bottom of the reservoir 106, and the sinking portion 107 is recessed from the bottom of the reservoir 106 toward the pressure chamber 102 and connected to the transition section iii 1022.

The bottom of the subsidence part 107 is also provided with a transition pipe 108, and the transition pipe 108 is communicated between the transition section III 1022 and the subsidence part 107.

The working chamber 105 is also communicated with a transition section I1031, and the transition section I1031 is communicated with a transition section III 1021. In fig. 4, the transition section i 1031 coincides with the center line of the extension tube ii 103, i.e., both extend in the same direction. Under the normal state, the external connecting pipe I104 and the external connecting pipe II 103 are both sealed by the sealing piece 120.

In order to realize that the clamp carrier is driven by the pressure of the piston 112, that is, the piston 112 moves in the working chamber by the hydraulic pressure, a power device of a power source such as a cylinder 201 or a motor can be arranged, and the power device can be used for adjusting the pressure of the hydraulic medium in the cylinder body, that is, adjusting the movement of the piston 112 in the working chamber through the adjustment of the pressure, so as to drive the clamp carrier to support or clamp the workpiece. The power device is provided with a pressure shaft which is used for being matched with the pressure cavity, is arranged in the pressure cavity and is tightly matched with the inner wall of the pressure cavity, and the support of the clamp carrier is realized by moving the pressure shaft in the pressure cavity along the extension direction of the pressure shaft, namely adjusting the depth of the pressure shaft in the pressure cavity, namely adjusting the pressing degree of the hydraulic medium in the pressure cavity. For driving the pressure shaft, it may be connected to a cylinder, where a reciprocating linear cylinder may be directly selected, through whose reciprocating piston connection the own power shaft 202 is driven, and through the movement of the power shaft 202 the pressure shaft 205 is moved in the pressure chamber. The drive here can of course also be realized by a motor-driven linear travel screw, i.e. by two motor-driven co-operating screws meshing in parallel, one of which is driven by the motor shaft to rotate in a defined position and the other screw is driven by the co-operating screw threads to move in the direction of extension of its shaft, thus converting the rotation of the motor into a linear movement.

In order to improve the sealing fit between the pressure shaft and the pressure chamber, a pressure seal ring 206 is further provided on the pressure shaft 205. The pressure sealing ring is arranged at the sealing position of the pressure shaft, the seal can be an annular groove sunken into the pressure shaft, as shown in fig. 8, the pressure shaft and the seal can be provided with a plurality of groups of matching, namely two groups.

In addition, in order to define the pressure shaft for better fit with the pressure chamber and better stability, a pressure shaft seat 203 may be provided, on which a pressure shaft hole 204 is provided for fitting with the pressure shaft, i.e. a pressure shaft 205 passes through the pressure shaft hole 204 and then into the pressure chamber in a defined manner, and the pressure shaft is defined to the cylinder body by the pressure shaft seat for defining and connecting the pressure shaft.

When the pneumatic clamp is in use, when the pneumatic cylinder is used as a power source, the shaft of the pneumatic cylinder transmits power to the pressure shaft to pressurize hydraulic medium in the pressure chamber 102, at the moment, the medium in the working chamber 105 is pressurized through pressure transmission of the medium in the transition section I1031 and the transition section III 1021, so that the piston 112 of the working chamber 105 is stressed to support a clamp carrier on the piston 112 to support a workpiece, meanwhile, because the working chamber 105 and the liquid storage chamber 106 are communicated through the transition section I1031, the transition section 1021 III, the transition section III 1022, the transition pipe 108 and the sunken part 107 for pressure transmission, the workpiece is arranged on the clamp carrier, the pressure given by the workpiece chamber piston 112 can be transmitted to the liquid storage chamber 106 and fed back to the pressure chamber 102 for buffering, and meanwhile, the spring 116 connected to the convex body 110 buffers the pressure of the workpiece received by the clamp carrier through the buffering of the spring 116, thereby avoiding the occurrence of undamped rigid impact, and the requirement on an additional hydraulic system is also avoided, so that the system balance of the clamp is fundamentally realized, and the structure of the processing equipment is simplified. After the machining is finished, the workpiece is removed from the clamp carrier, that is, is moved out of the carrier 117, the pressure of the working chamber is released, and then the pressure of the hydraulic medium in the liquid storage chamber and the pressure chamber is also released, the spring 116 supports the clamp carrier to reset, and the cylinder can perform reverse operation, that is, the pressure shaft is drawn out of the pressure chamber, so that the pressure of the medium is further released, and the hydraulic balance system of the clamp is restored to a non-working state.

For example, when the balance clamp is in a processing plate structure, a plurality of clamps with upward supporting directions can be arranged on the working platform 001, can be arranged at four corners and also can be arranged at a central position, namely the carrying platform 117 can be supported upwards in a hydraulic buffer manner in the figure, after the workpiece is arranged on the carrying platform 117, the carrying platform 117 is stressed and further transferred to the piston and hydraulic media in the working cavity and the liquid storage cavity, and the buffer is realized through hydraulic pressure transfer between the piston and the hydraulic media. At this time, of course, the self-balancing effect can be further improved by further buffering through the cylinder or the spring as shown in the foregoing.

In the above scheme, regarding the connection between the balance fixture and the tooling equipment, particularly the connection with the working platform 001, the connection may be directly connecting the cylinder body to the working platform 001, for example, directly connecting the cylinder body to the corresponding position of the working platform 001, and directly welding the cylinder body to the corresponding position in a welding manner, that is, the connection structure at this time may be a welding portion formed between the cylinder body and the working platform 001; the detachable connection may be made by other means, for example, a fastening hole for connecting a screw rod is formed on the cylinder body, the fastening hole may be a through hole formed on the cylinder body, or a fastening hole or a fastening groove formed on a protruding member protruding from the cylinder body, and a screw hole for connecting the screw rod is correspondingly formed on the work platform 001, so that the cylinder body is movably connected to the work platform 001 through the connection of the screw rod, but the connection may be made by other fastening means such as a screw.

Of course, in the above-mentioned solution, in order to achieve the convenience and safety of the tool holder, the balance holder, especially the cylinder thereof, may be indirectly connected to the work platform 001 through other devices, such as an external structure, which is a general term for the device that is used to auxiliarily set the balance holder, especially the cylinder thereof, to the work platform 001. It should be noted that the external structure may be a bottom-sealing structure disposed at the bottom of the cylinder, such as the base 118, or may be an additional structure disposed below the base 118, such as a flat plate structure cooperating with the base 118, and having one side connected to the base and the other side connected to the working platform 001, where the connection between the flat plate structure and the base or the working platform 001 may be in the form of a bolt connection or other fastener connection. Of course, the external structure may also be a cavity structure matching the external structure of the cylinder body, especially the cylinder body, so that the lower part of the cylinder body can be wholly or partially limited in the cavity structure from the outside of the base side, and in this case, the main structure of the external structure may be a ring or hoop structure, etc., or may be a barrel or tubular structure with a cavity, etc., and these external structures have a cavity structure for receiving the cylinder body from the outside of the cylinder body, and the balance clamp, especially the cylinder body thereof, is limited to the proper position of the working platform 001 by the structure. Of course, in a further improvement, the aforementioned external structure may be further provided with a fastener structure or a welding part structure for auxiliary connection, and the external structure is correspondingly connected to the working platform 001 through the fastener fastening connection form or the welding form respectively. The fastener structure may include a connecting through hole formed on the main body, a through hole or a threaded hole correspondingly formed on the working platform 001, and a bolt or a screw for connecting the main body and the through hole or the threaded hole of the working platform 001, which is a conventional fastener connecting technique and will not be described in detail herein.
