As the flexible fixture 100 is mainly used for machining metal parts, the mounting seat 110, the clamping assembly 120, the zero point positioning assembly 130 and the quick-change assembly 140 are mainly made of metal or alloy. In this embodiment, the mounting block 110, the clamping assembly 120, the zero point positioning assembly 130, and the quick-change assembly 140 are made of stainless steel.

By arranging the first bearing surface 1411 and the second bearing surface 1412 in the fixing block 141, and making the first bearing surface 1411 fit with the first surface 111 of the mounting seat 110, and making the second bearing surface 1412 fit with the third surface 113 of the mounting seat 110, the connection between the quick-change assembly 140 and the mounting seat 110 is more stable, so that the mechanical arm 310 is not positioned accurately due to the looseness of the quick-change assembly 140, or the phenomenon of inaccurate alignment when the flexible fixture 100 is placed in a machining center can be avoided.
In one embodiment, the fixing block 141 further includes a third bearing surface 1415. The third bearing surface 1415 and the second bearing surface 1412 are disposed in opposite directions.

The first guide surface 1416 is disposed at one end of the third bearing surface 1415.
The second guide surface 1417 is disposed at the other end of the third bearing surface 1415.
The first guide surface 1416 and the second guide surface 1417 are disposed obliquely to the third bearing surface 1415, and a distance between the first guide surface 1416 and the second guide surface 1417 gradually increases in a direction away from the third bearing surface 1417.
Because the first guide surface 1416 and the second guide surface 1417 are arranged obliquely to the third bearing surface 1415, and the distance between the first guide surface 1416 and the second guide surface 1417 gradually increases along the direction away from the third bearing surface 1415, when the mechanical arm 310 is used to clamp the quick-change connector 142 of the quick-change assembly 140, the first guide surface 1416 and the second guide surface 1417 are arranged in such a way that the interface of the mechanical arm 310 can be more precisely butted with the quick-change connector 142 of the quick-change assembly 140, thereby more facilitating the mounting and dismounting processes of the flexible clamp 100.
In one embodiment, the first through hole 114 is disposed through the first surface 111 and the second surface 112. The first receiving portion 1141 is disposed at an end of the first through hole 114 adjacent to the second surface 112.

In this embodiment, by providing the first receiving portion 1141 at an end of the first through hole 114 adjacent to the second surface 112 and making the thickness of the head portion of the first fastening member 1431 smaller than the depth of the first receiving portion 1141, the head portion of the first fastening member 1431 can be completely received in the first receiving portion 1141. When it is required to mount the flexible fixture 100 to a machining center or a machine tool, since the head of the first fastening member 1431 is completely received in the first receiving portion 1141 and is not exposed, it is not easy to affect the mounting process of the flexible fixture 100.
Likewise, by providing a second receiving portion 1418 at an end of the second through hole 1414 adjacent to the third carrying surface 1415, and making the thickness of the head of the second fastening member 1432 smaller than the depth of the second receiving portion 1418, the head of the second fastening member 1432 can be completely received in the second receiving portion 1418. When it is desired to mount the flexible fixture 100 to a machining center or a machine tool, since the head of the second fastening member 1432 is completely received in the second receiving portion 1418 and is not exposed, it is not liable to affect the mounting process of the flexible fixture 100.
