The ball 710 can reduce the friction of the sliding plate 702, achieving the effect of making the sliding plate 702 move more smoothly within the fixed frame 701.

[0033] Working principle: By setting the adjustment structure 6, first move the tapping screw rod 4 to drive the fixed column 607 to move, insert the fixed column 607 into the inside of the connecting column 608. At the same time, the positioning block 611 of the positioning rod 610 on the connecting block 609 will insert into the fixed slot 613 and contact the auxiliary block 616 in the fixed slot 613. When the positioning block 611 contacts the auxiliary block 616, the auxiliary block 616 will drive the spring 615 to move. At the same time, the auxiliary rod 614 will move inside the fixed block 612. When the auxiliary rod 614 moves, the round block 619 will also move along with it until the positioning block 611 is stuck into the inside of the fixed slot 613. Then rotate the clamping plate 604 to drive the fixed rod 603 to rotate. At the same time, the fixed rod 603 rotates in the limit slot 602 of the fixed disk 601, pass the inside of the clamping plate 604 through the screw rod 605 and the limit plate 606. Then rotate the limit plate 606 on the screw rod 605 to fix it with the clamping plate 604. At this time, the control box 3 on one side of the support frame 2 can be started to drive the entire adjustment structure 6 and the tapping screw rod 4 to rotate and perform tapping. Among them, the anti-slip pattern 617 can increase the friction of the limit plate 606 to avoid the phenomenon of hand slipping when personnel rotate the limit plate 606. The soft pad 618 can prevent the limit plate 606 from directly contacting the clamping plate 604, achieving the effect of preventing the clamping plate 604 from being worn. The round block 619 can drive the auxiliary rod 614 to rotate, achieving the effect of facilitating the control of the auxiliary rod 614.

[0034] By setting the auxiliary structure 7, first place the metal workpiece on the workbench 5, and then take the counterweight column 712 off the hook 704 to make the counterweight column 712 suspended. At this time, the connecting rod 708 will drive the pull rope 706 to move inside the connecting block 707. At the same time, the pull rope 706 will also drive the adjustment block 705 to move. The adjustment block 705 drives the limit block 703 to move, so that the limit block 703 drives the slide plate 702 to move inside the fixed frame 701. When the limit block 703 moves, it will also drive the protective pad 709 to move until the two limit blocks 703 drive the protective pad 709 to clamp and limit the metal workpiece. Among them, the limit rod 711 can limit the slide plate 702 to avoid the phenomenon of the position of the slide plate 702 shifting during the movement process. The ball 710 can reduce the friction of the slide plate 702, achieving the effect of making the slide plate 702 move more smoothly inside the fixed frame 701.
