In some embodiments, the locating hole 21101 can be located on both ends of the rod 2110, to improve applicability of the fixture 210. Furthermore, the fixed fixture body 2120 can be detachably disposed on the locating hole 21101.
Furthermore, the movable fixture body 2130 can include a third pressing member (not shown in the figures) and a fourth pressing member (not shown in the figures). When the user presses the third pressing member, the movable fixture body 2130 can reciprocate along the rod 2110. When the user presses the fourth pressing member, the movable fixture body 2130 can apply a clamp force to an object to be clamped. A locking device (not shown in the figures) can be configured for remaining the fixture in a clamping state. After using, the user can press the third pressing member again to release the clamping state. It should be understood that the fixture 210 of the present disclosure can be other conventional fixtures 210, which will not be described in detail herein.
In some embodiments, the fixture 210 in the present disclosure can be an F-shaped fixture.
In conventional art, when the workbench cooperates with the fixture, a T-shaped chute is located on an operating surface of the workbench to fix the movable fixture body of the fixture to one side of the workbench. The fixed fixture body and the rod can slide in the chute, thereby clamping the external object (e.g., a structure shown in Chinese patent No. CN104249315B). However, when a force applied on the fixture is uneven, the rod is prone to roll over around the movable fixture body as a rotation center, resulting in the rod separating from the chute. Moreover, the rod of the fixture is exposed to the outside, which is susceptible to friction from the objects to be processed such as wood, affecting the service life of the fixture. During use, the rod moving relative to the workbench will bring safety hazards. When using the workbench, the user should continuously pay attention to avoiding collisions of the rod, which will affect the clamping efficiency.
