DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The following will be combined with specific embodiments and attached Figure 1-4 , clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model.
[0019] An automatic knife sharpening machine comprises a frame 1, which is roughly equivalent to a four-legged table. A clamping and fixing device 2 is provided at the top of the frame 1. The clamping and fixing device 2 comprises a fixing plate 21 and a supporting plate 23. Through holes are provided at both ends of the fixing plate 21. Fixing bolts 22 are provided in the two through holes of the fixing plate 21. Fixing threaded holes adapted to the two fixing bolts 22 are provided from top to bottom on the top surface of the frame 1. The space between the fixing plate 21 and the frame 1 can be changed by loosening or tightening the fixing bolts 22, so that the tool 3 can be pressed and fixed between the fixing plate 21 and the frame 1. A limit platform 11 is provided at one end of the top surface of the frame 1 away from the fixing plate 21. A supporting bolt hole is provided on the upper edge of the limit platform 11 in a horizontal reverse direction. An adjusting screw 24 is threadedly connected in the supporting bolt hole. The end of the adjusting screw 24 close to the fixing plate 21 is fixedly connected to the supporting plate 23. The supporting plate 23 is used to resist the back of the tool 3 to prevent the tool 3 from sliding and leaving the grinding position during the grinding process.
[0020] At the top of the frame 1, the same rotating frame 4 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the limit platform 11. The rotating frame 4 is L-shaped as a whole. One end of the rotating frame 4 is rotatably connected to the limit platform 11, and the other end of the rotating frame 4 is rotatably connected to a roller 41. The roller 41 can rotate freely relative to the rotating frame 4. An annular track 411 is provided on the roller 41 along the circumference. The shape of the annular track 411 is elliptical, and the two vertices of the annular track 411 are respectively located near the two end surfaces of the roller 41. As shown in the accompanying drawings, a grinding bracket 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating frame 4 where the roller 41 is located. The grinding bracket 43 is located on the side close to the frame 1. A slide rail is provided on the grinding bracket 43. The opening direction of the slide rail is parallel to the axis of the roller 41. A second slider 44 is slidably connected in the slide rail. One end of the second slider 44 is rotatably connected to the first slider 42. The first slider 42 slides Connected in the annular track 411, when the roller 41 rotates, the first slider 42 will be pushed by the friction force of the roller 41 and can slide along the annular track 411, but the second slider 44 rotatably connected to the first slider 42 is constrained by the slide rail and can only slide horizontally. Therefore, the first slider 42 and the second slider 44 can only slide horizontally along the slide rail synchronously. At the same time, because the first slider 42 will continuously reciprocate along the annular track 411, the first slider 42 and the second slider 44 will show horizontal reciprocating sliding. A whetstone 45 is fixedly connected to the side of the second slider 44 away from the first slider 42. The whetstone 45 will be close to the blade position of the tool 3 on the frame 1 as the rotating frame 4 rotates. The whetstone 45 can be pressed against the blade position of the tool 3 by adjusting the clamping and fixing device 2. The whetstone 45 repeatedly grinds the blade as the first slider 42 slides, simulating manual grinding of the tool 3.
[0021] A driving motor 46 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating frame 4, and the output shaft of the driving motor 46 is connected to the roller 41, so that the driving motor 46 can drive the roller 41 to rotate, and the rotation of the roller 41 will drive the first slider 42 and the second slider 44 to slide, thereby driving the grindstone 45 to reciprocate to grind the tool 3. The driving motor 46 is electrically connected to a speed controller, which is a prior art and can control the input voltage and input current of the driving motor 46 to control the rotation speed of the motor, and further control the grinding speed of the grindstone 45 on the tool 3. The weight of the motor is applied to the hinge point of the rotating frame 4 and the contact position of the grindstone 45 and the tool 3 through the rotating frame 4, respectively, which can make the grindstone 45 generate downward pressure, which can simulate the downward pressure during manual grinding and increase the grinding efficiency.
[0022] A water tank 47 is also fixedly connected to the rotating frame 4, and a water pipe 48 is provided at the lower position of the water tank 47. One end of the water pipe 48 is connected to the water tank 47, and the other end of the water pipe 48 is arranged along the frame of the rotating frame 4 to the middle part of the grinding bracket 43. A switch is provided on the water pipe 48. When the switch is turned on when the driving motor 46 is started, the water in the water pipe 48 will drip onto the grindstone 45 and the tool 3 below, which can cool and lubricate the tool 3 and the grindstone 45.
[0023] Except for the technical features described in the specification, all other technical features are known technologies to those skilled in the art.
[0024] In the present utility model, "up", "down", "left", "right", "front" and "back" are relative positions used to conveniently describe positional relationships, and therefore cannot be understood as absolute positions to limit the scope of protection.
[0025] The above contents are merely examples and explanations of the structure of the utility model. The technicians in this technical field may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner.
