Detailed Implementation

[0047] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-20 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0048] One embodiment provided by the present invention: as follows Figure 1 As shown, an adjustable support mechanism includes a mounting plate assembly 1 and several locking assemblies 3. Support block assemblies 2 are evenly distributed on the top of the mounting plate assembly 1, dividing the conventional whole plate into several support block assemblies 2. This unique compatibility method facilitates compatible adjustment of the workpiece. The support block assemblies 2 have uniform specifications and dimensions, strong versatility, and make the parts lightweight, making changeover easier and reducing labor costs. Each support block assembly 2 is mounted on the mounting plate assembly 1 via a locking assembly 3. Both the support block assemblies 2 and the locking assemblies 3 are mounted on the mounting plate assembly 1, which serves as the supporting mounting component for the entire support mechanism. The support block assemblies 2, through cooperation with the locking assemblies 3, can be locked and released on the mounting plate assembly 1. This allows for arbitrary adjustment of the support area, broadening the compatibility range and meeting both processing and changeover requirements.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate assembly 1 includes a mounting plate 4. A blocking plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the mounting plate 4 using countersunk hexagonal screws 6. Hexagonal head screws 7 are respectively installed on the front, middle, and rear sides of the top of the mounting plate 4. A threaded cylindrical pin 9 is also threaded onto the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The flexible cooperation between the threaded cylindrical pin 9 and the hexagonal head screws 7 facilitates the installation, fixing, or disassembly of the mounting plate 4 on equipment, machine tools, and fixtures, further facilitating the installation, fixing, or disassembly of the entire support mechanism on equipment, machine tools, and fixtures.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, mounting holes 401 are evenly provided on the top of the mounting plate 4, and fourth air passage holes 403 are evenly provided on the four corners of the top of the mounting plate 4. The mounting holes 401 and the fourth air passage holes 403 are distributed in a rectangular array on the mounting plate 4, and a single fourth air passage hole 403 is located between any four adjacent mounting holes 401.

[0051] The front and rear side walls of the mounting plate 4 are provided with a second air passage hole 404 and a third air passage hole 405.

[0052] The mounting plate 4 has a first air passage hole 402, a fifth air passage hole 407 and a sixth air passage hole 408 on both the left and right side walls.

[0053] The top of the mounting plate 4 is provided with a chip removal groove 406. The middle of the left and right side walls of the mounting plate 4 are provided with recesses 411 that cooperate with the blocking plate 5. The two ends of the chip removal groove 406 are respectively connected to the corresponding recesses 411. The chip removal groove 406 is convenient for collecting the waste chips cleaned from the mounting plate 4 and then cleaning them. The fifth air passage hole 407 and the sixth air passage hole 408 are both located in the corresponding recesses 411. When the fifth air passage hole 407 and the sixth air passage hole 408 are not in use, O-rings are first placed in the inlet of the fifth air passage hole 407 and the inlet of the sixth air passage hole 408. Then the blocking plate 5 is placed in the recesses 411 and fixed to the mounting plate 4 with the internal hexagon countersunk screws 6. The unused fifth air passage hole 407 and the sixth air passage hole 408 are covered and sealed by the blocking plate 5.

[0054] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting plate 4 has an air passage 10 and an air passage 2 11. The air passage 10 is located above the air passage 2 11. The air passage 10 is connected to the first air passage hole 402, the second air passage hole 404, the fourth air passage hole 403 and the sixth air passage hole 408. The first air passage hole 402 and the second air passage hole 404 are connected to a high-pressure air source through air pipes and connectors. Air is blown into the air passage 10 through the first air passage hole 402 and the second air passage hole 404, and then transported through the air passage 10 to each of the fourth air passage holes 403, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the area around the mounting hole 401.

[0055] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, air passage 2 11 is connected to mounting hole 401, third air passage hole 405 and fifth air passage hole 407. Air is blown into air passage 2 11 through air passage 2 11 and transported to each mounting hole 401. In each mounting hole 401, the locking mechanism 3 is filled with high-pressure gas. This high-pressure gas will blow out along the gap between the parts, so that iron filings and other debris near the gap are blown away. This can clean the locking mechanism 3 installed in the mounting hole 401 and ensure that iron filings do not affect the locking effect.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, a conical countersunk plug 8 is provided in the first air passage 402, the second air passage 404 and the third air passage 405. The conical countersunk plug 8 makes it easy to seal the first air passage 402, the second air passage 404 and the third air passage 405 when they are not in use.

[0057] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the bottom of the mounting plate 4 has two seventh air passage holes 409 and two eighth air passage holes 410. The seventh air passage holes 409 are connected to air passage 10, and the eighth air passage holes 410 are connected to air passage 2 11.

[0058] like Figure 3 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, the locking assembly 3 includes a locking wheel 301, a pull pin 302, a threaded sleeve 303, and a spring 304. The threaded sleeve 303 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 401 and has external threads. The threaded sleeve 303 is fitted onto the pull pin 302. The pull pin 302 has a boss 3021 that mates with the threaded sleeve 303. The boss 3021 facilitates the hooking and limiting of the threaded sleeve 303 after it is fitted onto the pull pin 302, so that the pull pin 302 and the threaded sleeve 303 form a whole. The spring 304 is inserted into the bottom of the pull pin 302. When the spring 304 elastically returns to its original position and presses the pull pin 302, the threaded sleeve 303 blocks and limits the pull pin 302, preventing the pull pin 302 from being ejected from the mounting hole 401.

[0059] like Figure 16As shown, one end of the locking wheel 301 has a hexagonal groove, which facilitates rotation using a hexagonal wrench. The other end of the locking wheel 301 is a hollow end; the outer wall of the locking wheel 301 has a locking groove 3013, an arc-shaped limiting groove 3012, and a separation port 3011. The separation port 3011 is connected to one end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 3012, and the separation port 3011 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 3012 are connected to the interior of the other end of the locking wheel 301.

[0060] like Figure 15 As shown, the support block assembly 2 includes a support block 201. The bottom of the left side wall of the support block 201 is provided with a fitting hole 202 that cooperates with the locking wheel 301. The front and rear side walls of the support block 201 are screwed with hexagonal cone-shaped set screws 203 that cooperate with the locking wheel 301.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 As shown, the support block 201 has two shapes: one is a regular square prism, and the other is a "door" shape. Processing such a small support block 201 separately results in a smaller processing area and higher precision compared to processing a whole plate. The front and rear side walls of the support block 201 are provided with screw holes 204 that mate with the hexagonal cone-shaped set screws 203. The bottom of the support block 201 is provided with a receiving hole 205 that mates with the pull studs 302. The screw holes 204, receiving holes 205, and fitting holes 202 are connected. When fixing the support block 201, the locking wheel 301 is inserted into the fitting hole 202, and the hexagonal cone-shaped set screws 203 are screwed into the screw holes 204 so that their ends extend into the locking grooves 3013. This facilitates the limiting of the locking wheel 301 in the fitting hole 202 and prevents it from coming off.

[0062] On the mounting plate 4, for each mounting hole 401, the threaded sleeve 303 is fixed first through its threaded connection with the threaded sleeve 303. Then, the pull rivet 302 is pressed down into the threaded sleeve 303. Then, the pull rivet 302 is rotated 90° through the hexagonal groove also opened on the pull rivet 302, so that the boss 3021 is blocked at the bottom by the threaded sleeve 303, realizing the function of the pull rivet 302 "retracting" into the threaded sleeve 303. When retracting, it is further retracted into the mounting plate assembly 1, so that it does not need to be disassembled and taken out for separate management, reducing the cost of manual management. It can also prevent interference and collision. Using such a locking assembly 3 is more time-saving and labor-saving than conventional thread tightening and loosening.

[0063] When extended, the support block 201, with the locking wheel 301 embedded in it, is placed on the mounting plate 4. Then, the tip of the pull rivet 302 extends through the receiving hole 205 on the support block 201 into the separation port 3011, and then into the cavity end of the locking wheel 301. The locking wheel 301 is then screwed onto the support block 201 to rotate it, moving the neck position of the tip of the pull rivet 302 relative to the arc-shaped limiting groove 3012, thereby fixing the support block assembly 2 on the mounting plate 4. The support block assemblies 2 on the mounting plate 4 are a certain number of individual units, which can be disassembled individually to facilitate the support of workpieces of different shapes and sizes. When a workpiece needs to be placed, the support block assembly 2 is locked; if the number of support block assemblies 2 needs to be reduced, they can be loosened and removed. The number of support block assemblies 2 is adjusted according to the size of the workpiece; larger workpieces require more support block assemblies 2, while smaller workpieces can have some support block assemblies 2 removed.

[0064] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
