[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-8 This invention provides a technical solution: a plate workpiece positioning device for a vibrating knife cutting machine, comprising a frame 1, a three-axis moving module 2 slidably mounted on the frame 1, a cutting head 3 slidably mounted on the three-axis moving module 2, two vertically distributed positioning mechanisms 4 fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 1, each positioning mechanism 4 including a guide rail 41 fixed on the top of the frame 1, a slider 42 slidably mounted on the guide rail 41, and a rectangular positioning strip 46 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the slider 42. The four sides of the rectangular plate can be positioned and fixed by the two rectangular positioning strips 46 and the two guide rails 41. Multiple clamping mechanisms 5 linearly distributed are mounted on the top of the rectangular positioning strips 46. When the rectangular positioning strips 46 rotate to position the sides of the rectangular plate, the multiple clamping mechanisms 5 will position and fix the sides and top of the rectangular plate.

[0028] Furthermore, the three-axis moving module 2 and the cutting head 3 work together to perform three-axis movement, thereby ensuring that the cutting head 3 can cut rectangular plates.

[0029] A rack 43 is fixedly installed on one side of the guide rail 41, and a traveling gear 44 is rotatably installed below the slider 42. The traveling gear 44 meshes with the rack 43. A geared motor 45 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 42. The output shaft of the geared motor 45 rotates through the slider 42 and is fixedly connected to the traveling gear 44.

[0030] The slider 42 is rotatably mounted below the guide rail 41, and the top and bottom surfaces of the slider 42 are flush with the top and bottom surfaces of the guide rail 41. A second geared motor 47 is fixedly mounted on the top of the slider 42. The output shaft of the second geared motor 47 rotates through the slider 42 and is fixedly connected to the rectangular positioning strip 46. One end of the rectangular positioning strip 46 is provided with a semi-circular edge 461 that is coaxial with the output shaft of the second geared motor 47.

[0031] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a base 51 fixedly installed on the top of the rectangular positioning bar 46. A rotating shaft 52 is rotatably installed through the base 51. A swing arm 53 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 52. The rotating shafts 52 on multiple clamping mechanisms 5 are fixedly connected end to end in sequence. A bevel gear 48 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 52 near the second geared motor 47. An arc-shaped end face gear ring 49 is meshed on the bevel gear 48. The arc-shaped end face gear ring 49 is embedded and fixed on the slider 42.

[0032] Furthermore, the multiple rotating shafts 52 on the rectangular positioning strip 46 are fixedly connected end to end, which can ensure that the bevel gear 48 can drive the multiple rotating shafts 52 to rotate synchronously.

[0033] Multiple clamping plates 54 are provided on one side of the swing arm 53. The multiple clamping plates 54 are rotatably connected end to end and a round shaft 55 is rotatably installed at the connection. Multiple hinge seats 56 are movably installed on both sides of the swing arm 53. The two ends of several round shafts 55 are rotatably connected to the corresponding hinge seats 56 respectively. An empty round shaft 55 is provided between two hinge seats 56 on the same side of the swing arm 53.

[0034] The same guide rod 57 is fixedly installed through multiple hinge seats 56 on the same side of the swing arm 53. The same spring 58 is fixedly installed between two adjacent hinge seats 56, and the spring 58 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 57.

[0035] Both ends of the guide rod 57 are fixedly installed with rectangular blocks 511. A guide rod 510 is slidably installed through the rectangular blocks 511. Both ends of the guide rod 510 are fixedly installed with ear plates 59. Both ear plates 59 are fixedly connected to the swing arm 53. A spring 512 is fixedly installed between the guide rod 510 and the rectangular blocks 511 and is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 510.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the multiple clamping plates 54 can not only move left and right along the axis of the first guide rod 57, but also move up and down along the axis of the second guide rod 510. Furthermore, each clamping plate 54 can rotate around its corresponding circular shaft 55, thereby ensuring that the multiple clamping plates 54 can adaptively adjust their positions according to the different thicknesses of the rectangular plates to be clamped.

[0037] An annular block 513 is rotatably mounted through the swing arm 53. The rotating shaft 52 passes through the annular block 513 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular block 513. An annular groove 5131 is opened on the side of the annular block 513. A spiral torsion spring 514 is provided in the annular groove 5131. The end of the spiral torsion spring 514 near the center is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 5131, and the end of the spiral torsion spring 514 away from the center is fixedly connected to the swing arm 53.

[0038] Furthermore, the swing arm 53 and the annular block 513 are connected by a spiral torsion spring 514, which allows the swing arm 53 to be free from maintaining the same rotation angle as the rotating shaft 52 when it rotates.

[0039] Furthermore, geared motor 1 (45) and geared motor 2 (47) are worm gear reducers, which have a self-locking function.

[0040] In this embodiment: During use, the rectangular plate to be cut is placed on the table surface of the frame 1, and the two vertical sides of the rectangular plate abut against the two guide rails 41. At this time, the two rectangular positioning strips 46 are arranged parallel to the corresponding guide rails 41, and the multiple swing arms 53 on the rectangular positioning strips 46 are in a vertical state. Then, the two reduction motors 45 are started to drive the slider 42 to move towards the rectangular plate. After the slider 42 drives the semi-circular edge 461 on the rectangular positioning strip 46 to abut against the side of the rectangular plate, the reduction motor 47 is started to drive the rectangular positioning strip 46 to rotate. After the rectangular positioning strip 46 rotates 90 degrees and is arranged perpendicularly to the corresponding guide rail 41, the rectangular positioning strip 46 abuts against the side of the rectangular plate. The two guide rails 41 and the two rectangular positioning strips 46 can clamp and fix the four sides of the rectangular plate, thereby completing the positioning of the rectangular plate on the table surface of the frame 1.

[0041] As the rectangular positioning bar 46 and the corresponding guide rail 41 change from a parallel state to a perpendicular state, as the rectangular positioning bar 46 rotates, the bevel gear 48 will rotate around the output shaft of the second gear motor 47 on the arc-shaped end face gear ring 49. During this process, the bevel gear 48 will also rotate on its own axis, and the rotating bevel gear 48 will drive the rotating shaft 52 on all clamping mechanisms 5 to rotate synchronously.

[0042] The rotation of the pivot 52 will cause the swing arm 53 to rotate towards one side of the rectangular plate. The rotation of the swing arm 53 will cause one of the multiple clamping plates 54 on one side to abut against the edge of the rectangular plate. As the swing arm 53 presses down on the multiple clamping plates 54, the multiple clamping plates 54 will rotate around the corresponding circular axis 55. During this process, the clamping plate 54 that was originally abutting against the edge of the rectangular plate will translate along the guide rod 57 and fit against the side or top surface of the rectangular plate. Finally, the clamping plate 54 will be perpendicular to the adjacent clamping plate 54, and the two clamping plates 54 will fit against the top surface and side surface of the rectangular plate respectively to complete the clamping and fixing of the rectangular plate. This state is shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
