[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , an adjustable drilling and tapping machine saddle, including a saddle body 1 and two groups of guide rails 2. The guide rails 2 are arranged on both sides of the top of the saddle body 1. The bottom end of the workpiece placement table of the drilling and tapping machine is slidably connected to the two groups of guide rails 2. The two groups of guide rails 2 are respectively slidably connected to both sides of the saddle body 1 through a guiding assembly. A bidirectional screw 3 is rotatably connected to the saddle body 1. The thread directions at both ends of the bidirectional screw 3 are opposite. Two groups of screw sleeves 4 are respectively threadedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional screw 3. When the bidirectional screw 3 is rotated, the bidirectional screw 3 will drive the two groups of screw sleeves 4 at both ends thereof to move in opposite directions. The two groups of screw sleeves 4 are respectively connected to the two groups of bidirectional screws 3.

[0023] During use, by rotating the bidirectional screw 3, the two groups of screw sleeves 4 sleeved thereon can be driven to move in opposite directions of approaching or separating along the direction of the bidirectional screw 3. During the movement of the guide rails 2, they will remain horizontal under the guiding action of the guiding assembly and will not deflect, so that the two groups of guide rails 2 can always be kept parallel to the axis of the saddle body 1 during the movement. By controlling the two groups of guide rails 2 to synchronously move horizontally closer or farther away from each other, the user can adjust the distance between the two groups of guide rails 2 as needed, and can adjust the two groups of guide rails 2 to the required distance according to the specifications of the workpiece placement table, thereby facilitating the installation of workpiece placement tables of different specifications.

[0024] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3, The guiding assembly includes guiding bars 5 arranged on both sides of the saddle body 1 and guiding grooves 6 arranged on both sides at the bottom end of the guide rail 2 and fitted with the guiding bars 5. Since the guiding grooves 6 and the guiding bars 5 are mutually fitted, when the guide rail 2 is arranged on the saddle body 1, the guiding bars 5 will be embedded in the guiding grooves 6 at the bottom of the guide rail 2. At this time, if the guide rail 2 moves, its moving track will remain a horizontal straight line along the direction of the guiding groove 6, and the guide rail 2 will not deflect due to the limitation of the guiding bars 5 during the movement, so that the two groups of guide rails 2 can always remain parallel to the axis of the saddle body 1 during the movement.

[0025] Further, please refer to Figure 4 , The upper cross-section of the guiding bar 5 is arc-shaped, the lower cross-section of the guiding bar 5 is rectangular, and the diameter of the arc-shaped upper cross-section of the guiding bar 5 is greater than the width of the lower rectangular cross-section. When the guiding groove 6 and the guiding bar 5 are mutually embedded, the arc-shaped upper part of the guiding bar 5 will always be stuck in the guiding groove 6, ensuring that the guiding groove 6 will not be separated from the guiding bar 5 upwards, preventing the end of the guide rail 2 from tilting upwards during the movement, and further ensuring that the end of the guide rail 2 always fits with the saddle body 1 and will not be separated during the movement.

[0026] Further, please refer to 3. Limit pieces 7 are arranged at both ends of each guiding bar 5. Since the guiding groove 6 at the bottom end of the guide rail 2 always remains embedded on the guiding bar 5 during the movement of the guide rail 2, the limit pieces 7 at both ends of the guiding bar 5 limit the moving stroke of the guide rail 2, preventing the guide rail 2 from moving out of the outside of the guiding bar 5 and causing it to break away from the saddle body 1.

[0027] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , A hexagonal head 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 3, and the user can conveniently drive the bidirectional screw 3 to rotate by using tools such as a wrench.

[0028] Further, please refer to Figure 5 , A flow groove 9 is arranged on the surface of the saddle body 1, and the end of the flow groove 9 extends towards the outside of the saddle body 1. During the process of drilling a workpiece, the cutting fluid flowing onto the saddle body 1 will be collected in the flow groove 9 and flow out of the end of the flow groove 9 to the outside of the saddle body 1, avoiding the accumulation of the cutting fluid on the saddle body 1.

[0029] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
