DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a cylindrical multi-stage self-centering mechanism is provided, wherein a row of separately arranged moving beams 9 are slidably mounted on a frame 7, and a supporting assembly is mounted on each moving beam 9, and each supporting assembly can be laterally moved and adjusted.

[0022] Recombination Figure 5 As shown, a pair of linear slide rails 8 are fixed on the frame 7, and sliders are fixed on the lower sides of both ends of the moving beam 9. The sliders are slidably installed on the corresponding linear slide rails 8, and a transverse limit pin 702 is fixed on one side of the end of the linear slide rail 8. The position of the moving beam 9 is limited by the transverse limit pin 702 to prevent the moving beam 9 from slipping out of the linear slide rail 8. A row of positioning holes 701 is provided on the frame 7 on one side of the linear slide rail 8, and a positioning pin 901 matching the positioning hole 701 is installed at the end of the moving beam 9. After the moving beam 9 adjusts its position, the positioning pin 901 is inserted into the positioning hole 701 to achieve the positioning of the moving beam 9.

[0023] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the support assembly includes a support base 2, and a lifting mechanism 1 is installed between the support base 2 and the moving beam 9, and the height of the support base 2 is controlled by the lifting mechanism 1. The lifting mechanism 1 includes an oil cylinder 101, the cylinder body of the oil cylinder 101 is fixed on the moving beam 9, and the upper end of the piston rod of the oil cylinder 101 is fixed to the lower side of the support base 2. Two sliding rods 102 parallel to the oil cylinder 101 are also fixed to the lower side of the support base 2, and guide sleeves 103 are fixed at both ends of the moving beam 9. The sliding rods 102 and the guide sleeves 103 are slidably connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

The mobile base 4 can slide longitudinally to adapt to the axis deviation of the cylindrical workpiece; when the axis of the cylindrical workpiece deviates, the mobile base 4 automatically moves to adapt to the axis of the cylindrical workpiece, thereby playing a better supporting role.

[0025] A pair of roller frames 5 are fixed at both ends of the mobile base 4. Four symmetrical rollers 6 for supporting the workpiece are rotatably mounted on the roller frame 5. The four rollers 6 are arranged in a "V" shape to accommodate cylindrical workpieces of different diameters. The rollers 6 include a rotating shaft 601.
