The chamfering machine body 1 can drive the chamfering head to rotate and then chamfer the edge of the plate.

[0054] To further explain, the movable assembly includes a support seat 53 and a sliding block 54. The fixed frame 51 and the sliding seat 52 are provided with connected movable grooves inside. The support seat 53 is installed on one side of the fixed frame 51. A threaded rod 55 is passed through the support seat 53. One end of the threaded rod 55 and the sliding block 54 are both embedded in the movable groove, and the sliding block 54 is movably connected to the threaded rod 55. The sliding block 54 is installed on the inner wall surface of the sliding seat 52.

[0055] It should be noted that one end of the threaded rod 55 is located inside the fixed frame 51, the threaded rod 55 can rotate on the support seat 53, and the sliding block 54 can drive the sliding seat 52 to move on the fixed frame 51 under the action of the threaded rod 55, thereby driving the chamfering machine body 1 to approach or move away from the edge of the plate.

[0056] Further explanation, the other end of the threaded rod 55 is provided with a handle 56. Specifically, the handle 56 is convenient for rotating the threaded rod 55, saving time and effort, and can save working time and improve working efficiency.

[0057] To further illustrate, the transmission structure 3 includes a fixing plate 31, a first fixing seat 32, a second fixing seat 33, a driving motor 34 and a transmission belt 35;

[0058] The first fixing seat 32 is installed on the upper plate surface of the fixing plate 31, a first rotating shaft 36 is movably provided on the first fixing seat 32, and a first pulley 37 is provided on the first rotating shaft 36;

[0059] The lower plate surface of the fixed plate 31 is vertically mounted to the movable plate 6, and the two plate surfaces of the movable plate 6 are respectively extended with fixing parts 38;

[0060] There are two second fixing seats 33, which are respectively installed at two ends of the gantry 300. A second rotating shaft 39 is movably provided on the second fixing seat 33, and a second pulley 310 is provided on the second rotating shaft 39.

[0061] The driving motor 34 is installed on the gantry 300, and the driving end of the driving motor 34 is drivingly connected to the second rotating shaft 39;

[0062] The transmission belt 35 contacts the outer surfaces of the first pulley 37 and the two second pulleys 310 , and the joints at both ends of the transmission belt 35 are respectively fixedly connected to the two fixing portions 38 of the moving plate 6 to form an annular transmission belt 35 .

[0063] Specifically, the driving motor 34 can drive the second pulley 37 on the second rotating shaft 39 to rotate, and since the two end joints of the transmission belt 35 are respectively fixedly connected to the two fixing parts 38 of the moving plate 6 to form an annular transmission belt 35, the rotation direction of the driving motor 34 determines the moving direction of the chamfering machine body 1. At the same time, the first pulley 37 on the fixed plate 31 rotates synchronously under the action of the second pulley 37 and the transmission belt 35 to ensure the smooth movement of the chamfering machine body 1.

[0064] In a further explanation, it also includes a guide structure 2, wherein the guide structure 2 includes a guide rail (21) and a guide slider (22);

[0065] The guide rail (21) is arranged along the placement direction of the gantry 300;

[0066] The guide slider (22) is mounted on the upper plate surface of the fixed plate 31, and the guide slider (22) is slidably mounted on the guide rail (21).

[0067] Further explanation, the number of the guide rails (21) and the guide slide block (22) are both two, and the two guide slide blocks (22) are respectively installed on both sides of the first fixed seat 32. Specifically, the two guide rails can support and guide the movement of the chamfering machine body 1, so that the chamfering machine body 1 can achieve linear movement, thereby achieving the chamfering function. This design can improve the stability and reliability of the chamfering machine body 1 and ensure the quality and accuracy of the chamfering.

[0068] The specific working principle of the utility model is as follows: First, the trimming machine body 200 cuts the plate on the plate conveyor 100 according to production requirements, and then the plate conveyor 100 conveys the cut plate to the bottom of the gantry 300, at which time the edge of the plate is close to the chamfering head of the chamfering machine body 1. Secondly, remove the fixing nut 45 from the fixing bolt 44, and adjust the position of the rotating plate 41 through the pin 42. At this time, the fixing bolt 44 rotates in the sliding groove 43 following the rotating plate 41, and stops after rotating at an appropriate angle according to the chamfering size to be processed, and installs the fixing nut 45 on the fixing bolt 44. The fixing bolt 44 and the fixing nut 45 cooperate to fix the rotating plate 41, and then adjust the angle of the chamfering head of the chamfering machine body 1. Then turn the handle 56, the handle 56 drives the threaded rod 55 to rotate, and the sliding block 54 drives the sliding seat 52 to rotate on the fixed frame 51 under the action of the threaded rod 55, and the chamfering machine body 1 moves following the sliding seat 52 until the chamfering head contacts the edge of the plate to be chamfered and stops. When the chamfering machine is driven, the chamfering machine drives the chamfering head to rotate and perform chamfering on the plate. Finally, the driving motor 34 is driven, and the driving motor 34 drives the second pulley 310 on the second rotating shaft 39 to rotate. The first pulley 37 rotates synchronously under the action of the second pulley 310 and the transmission belt 35. Since the movable plate 6 is connected to the two end joints of the transmission belt 35 through the fixing part 38, the movable plate 6 moves synchronously with the transmission belt 35, and the fixing plate 31 moves on the guide rail (21) through the guide slider (22) under the action of the movable plate 6, so that the movement of the chamfering machine body 1 can be more stable, and it is convenient to perform chamfering on the edge of the plate.

These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementations of the present invention without creative work, and these equivalent variations or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
