[0002] Flexible automatic adjustment center rests have unique advantages and are widely used in many machining fields, such as shaft parts machining, pipe parts machining, disc parts machining, and complex-shaped parts machining.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN202224945U discloses a wide-range adjustable center rest for a machining cutting machine tool, including a mounting base, a center rest body mounted on the mounting base, three slots evenly distributed on the center rest body, a fixing bolt on the side wall of each slot, and an adjusting cylinder installed in each slot for adjusting the distance between the top wheel and the axis of the center rest body. A top wheel is installed at one end of each of the three adjusting cylinders located inside the center rest body. The mounting base of the center rest body is mounted on the guide rail of the machine tool. A top wheel is installed on the adjusting cylinder of the main body, and the adjusting cylinder is installed in the slot. The top wheel includes a top cylinder, which is cylindrical in shape. A sleeve is connected to one end face of the top cylinder, and an installation groove is provided on the other end face of the top cylinder. The two sides of the installation groove on the top cylinder are parallel to each other and symmetrical about the axis of the top cylinder. A bearing is installed in the installation groove, and the two ends of the bearing are connected to the two sides of the installation groove on the top cylinder. A roller is fitted on the bearing, and the radius of the roller is greater than the distance from the axis of the bearing to the end face of the top cylinder where the installation groove is located. The top wheel is connected to the adjusting cylinder through the sleeve.

The drive assembly 4 includes a front end cover 41, a rear end cover 42, and a drive housing 43. The rear end cover 42 is fixedly connected to the front side of the central frame 1, and the drive housing 43 is fixedly installed between the front end cover 41 and the rear end cover 42. A front mounting protrusion 44 and a rear mounting protrusion 45 are respectively formed on the front end cover 41 and the rear end cover 42. There are two of each type of mounting protrusion. The two front mounting protrusions 44 are located near the upper end and near the lower end of the front end cover 41, respectively. The two rear mounting protrusions 45 are located near the upper end and near the lower end of the rear end cover 42, respectively.
