DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , a cutting fixture for casting complex cast trees, comprising a shell 1, wherein a sliding cavity 8 is provided in the shell 1;

[0022] Among them, it also includes a clamping mechanism, which includes a bidirectional threaded rod 9 rotatably connected between the inner walls on the right sides of the sliding cavity 8, the two threaded ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 9 have opposite thread directions, and the two threaded ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 9 are threadedly connected to a slider 10, and a slide groove 11 is provided at the inner bottom of the sliding cavity 8. The two sliders 10 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity 8, and the lower end of each slider 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting bar 2, and the lower end of each connecting bar 2 passes through the slide groove 11, and each connecting bar 2 is penetrated by a rotating shaft 3, and each rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting bar 2 through a bearing, and the opposite ends of the two rotating shafts 3 are fixedly connected to a rotating disk 4, and four clamping members 5 are installed on the opposite sides of the two rotating disks 4, and the clamping members 5 on each rotating disk 4 are different (the figure is only a pictorial effect and does not represent the actual structure);

[0023] Among them, it also includes a driving mechanism, which is used to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 9 to rotate. The driving mechanism includes a mounting slot 12 opened on the right side of the housing 1. A driving motor 13 is installed in the mounting slot 12. The output shaft of the driving motor 13 extends into the sliding cavity 8 and is fixedly connected to the right end of the bidirectional threaded rod 9. The driving motor 13 here adopts a servo motor that can change the rotation direction;

[0024] Among them, the opposite sides of the two connecting strips 2 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 15, the lower ends of the two connecting blocks 15 are provided with cylindrical grooves 16, and the two cylindrical grooves 16 are provided with sliding columns 18 that can slide up and down. The upper ends of the two sliding columns 18 are elastically connected to the inner top of the corresponding cylindrical grooves 16 through springs 17. The right sides of the two sliding columns 18 are fixedly connected with pull handles 19. Each rotating shaft 3 is penetrated by a socket 20 in the upper and lower directions and the front and back directions.

[0025] It also includes a support mechanism, which is used to improve the overall service life. The support mechanism includes L-shaped bars 14 fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two connecting bars 2. The vertical parts of the two L-shaped bars 14 are penetrated by screws 6. Each screw 6 is threadedly connected to the corresponding L-shaped bar 14, and the opposite ends of the two screws 6 are fixedly connected to the movable plates 7.

[0026] In the present invention, the two clamping members 5 at the bottom are used for clamping each time. When the staff starts the driving motor 13, the bidirectional threaded rod 9 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 9 will drive the two sliders 10 to move relative to each other, thereby driving the corresponding two clamping members 5 to move relative to each other through the connecting bar 2, the rotating shaft 3 and the rotating disk 4 to achieve clamping limit. When a different clamp needs to be used, the sliding post 18 can be first moved up to leave the socket 20, and then the rotating disk 4 can be rotated to allow the required clamping member 5 to rotate to the bottom, and then the sliding post 18 can be released. Under the elastic action of the spring 17, the sliding post 18 is inserted into the corresponding socket 20 again to complete the limit, and the adjustment on the other side can be carried out in the same way.

[0027] In addition, it should be noted that when clamping, the screw 6 can also be twisted to rotate, so that the abutment plate 7 moves and contacts the corresponding rotating plate 4. At this time, the reaction force during clamping will be shared by the abutment plate 7, avoiding the reaction force directly acting on the rotating shaft 3 through the rotating plate 4, causing the internal bearing to be eccentrically stressed, affecting its service life.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
