The end cover 3 is fixed to the top of the clamping jaw support 1 by screws 33, and a first through hole 31 and a second through hole 32 are respectively provided at positions corresponding to the fixing groove 11 and the clamping jaw groove 12. The second through hole 32 can be wrapped at the top of the clamping jaw 2 during the rotation process to achieve the protection of the clamping jaw 2. Protection, an arc-shaped protrusion 21 is provided on the top of one side of the clamping jaw 2, and a limiting protrusion 22 is provided on the bottom of the clamping jaw 2 on the same side, the other side of the clamping jaw 2 is inclined, and the side of the clamping jaw 2 where the arc-shaped protrusion 21 is located is embedded in the clamping jaw groove 12, and the maximum distance from the axis of the clamping jaw support 1 to the outside of the clamping jaw 2 is greater than half of the inner diameter of the pushing disk 4, and the pushing disk 4 can be slidably mounted on the clamping jaw support 1, and the inner wall of the pushing disk 4 is slidably connected with the inclined side wall of the clamping jaw 2, the spring 5 is mounted on the pushing disk 4, and the two ends of the spring 5 are respectively fixed on the pushing disk 4 and the end cover 3, and the tool plug seat 6 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the clamping jaw 2 through the limiting protrusion 22.

[0028] The above-mentioned flexible structure of the present invention can fix the entire flexible structure on the rotating shaft 7 of the relevant equipment through the fixing groove 11, and then fix different tools on multiple tool plug sockets 6 respectively, and then fix the tool plug sockets 6 with the tools fixed on them on the bottom of the clamp 2 in sequence according to the order in which the tools are used, so that different tools can be quickly replaced; in addition, in the flexible structure of the present invention, there is a certain gap between the bottom of the clamp 2 and the inner wall of the pushing plate 4, so that it has a certain degree of freedom, can realize flexible adjustment, and is convenient for operation; in addition, the tool plug socket 6 of the above-mentioned flexible structure of the present invention is quick to replace on the clamp 2 and simple to operate, thereby realizing rapid replacement of tools and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, a convex eave 41 extending outward is provided at the bottom of the push plate 4 , and the lower end of the spring 5 is fixed on the convex eave 41 ; the push plate 4 is limited by the spring 5 .

[0030] Furthermore, a positioning hole (not shown) communicating with the fixing groove 11 is also provided on the side wall of the clamping jaw support 1, and a fixing bolt 13 is provided in the positioning hole. By providing the positioning hole and the fixing bolt 13, the fixing strength of the clamping jaw support 1 and the rotating shaft 7 can be improved.

[0031] Furthermore, a chuck groove 61 matching with the limiting protrusion 22 is provided on the upper portion of the tool plug socket 6 , and the chuck groove 61 is used for fixing the tool plug socket 6 .

[0032] In the present invention, the number of the clamping grooves 12 is not strictly limited, and the number of the clamping grooves 12 can be appropriately adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the number of the clamping grooves 12 can be 3, 4 or 5. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, in this specific embodiment, there are three clamping jaw grooves 12 which are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the clamping jaw support 1.

[0033] In one embodiment, a chamfer is provided at the bottom of the limiting protrusion 22. By providing the chamfer, when the tool plug socket 6 is replaced, the tool plug socket 6 can be directly pushed into the bottom of the clamping jaw 2 for fixing, which can improve the installation efficiency of the tool plug socket 6.

[0037] The working principle of the flexible structure of the present invention is as follows:

[0038] The flexible structure of the present invention is fixed on the rotating shaft 7 of the relevant equipment through the fixing groove 11, which is used to fix the flexible structure on the relevant equipment; then different tools are fixed on multiple tool plug sockets 6 respectively, and then the tool plug sockets 6 with the tools fixed are fixed on the bottom of the clamping jaw 2 in sequence according to the order in which the tools are used, so as to achieve the rapid replacement of different tools on the flexible mechanism;

[0039] Disassembly of the tool plug socket 6: the push plate 4 is moved upward by an external force, and the push plate 4 squeezes the inclined side wall of the clamping jaw 2 during the upward movement, and at the same time provides an oblique upward force to the clamping jaw 2, so that the top of the clamping jaw 2 rotates along the arc-shaped protrusion 21 and approaches the axis of the clamping jaw support 1, while the bottom of the clamping jaw 2 moves away from the axis of the clamping jaw support 1. As the push plate 4 moves upward, the bottom of the clamping jaw 2 moves farther and farther away from the axis of the clamping jaw support 1. When a certain distance is reached, the tool plug socket 6 and the clamping jaw 2 can be separated, and then the tool plug socket 6 can be removed;

[0040] Installation of the tool plug socket 6: After removing the tool plug socket 6, the pushing disk 4 and the clamping jaw 2 can be reset under the action of the spring 5. Since the bottom of the limiting protrusion 22 is chamfered, when replacing the tool plug socket 6, the tool plug socket 6 can be directly pushed into the bottom of the clamping jaw 2 for fixation, or after the external force moves the pushing disk 4 upward, the chuck groove 61 of the tool plug socket 6 is placed in an appropriate position, and the external force is removed to reset the pushing disk 4 and the clamping jaw 2, so that the tool plug socket 6 can be installed and fixed.
