The invention discloses a method for improving the 
machining efficiency of an 
exhaust manifold air inlet 
flange. The method comprises the following steps that 1, a to-be-machined 
flange is put at the top of a clamping disc; 2, adjusting rods are rotated in sequence, the 
tail ends of the adjusting rods enter air outlet channels of clamping plates, the clamping plates are pushed to move in grooves, and then, the to-be-machined 
flange is fastened; 3, in the flange 
machining process, a push rod is rotated to push a movable table to move in moving grooves, meanwhile, a 
threaded rod is loosened, the clamping disc is rotated, and the flange is machined flexibly; 4, in the flange 
machining process, a draught fan is started, 
airflow generated by the draught fan enters a fan cover, the 
airflow in the fan cover is blown into the grooves and the clamping disc, and 
iron filings generated during flange machining are removed; and 5, after machining of the flange is completed, the adjusting rods are adjusted again, so that the flange is not clamped by the clamping plates and taken down, and another to-be-machined flange is installed. 
Machining can continue to be conducted without removing the 
iron filings on the clamping disc.
