The top of the right side bevel gear 202 meshes with an upper bevel gear 201. The bottom end of the transmission shaft 200 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the upper bevel gear 201. The transmission shaft 200 is provided at the upper end of the outer wall of the power shaft 210. An output shaft 300 is provided at the bottom end of the outer wall of the power shaft 210 and below the transmission shaft 200. The left side bevel gear 202... A bottom bevel gear 301 is engaged at the bottom of the outer wall. The upper end of the output shaft 300 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the bottom bevel gear 301. A machining tool 310 is connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the output shaft 300. Specifically, the transmission shaft 200 is connected to the power output end of the machine tool. The transmission shaft 200 drives the upper bevel gear 201 to rotate. When the upper bevel gear 201 rotates, it can drive the side bevel gear 202 and the power shaft 210 to rotate through meshing. When the left side bevel gear 202 rotates, it can drive the bottom bevel gear 301, the output shaft 300 and the machining tool 310 to rotate through meshing.
[0026] The drive shaft 200 and output shaft 300 are connected to the power shaft 210 via connecting components. These connecting components include bearing seats 220, of which three are provided. Two bearing seats 220 are mounted on the outer wall of the power shaft 210 and located to the left of the left-side bevel gear 202, while one bearing seat 220 is mounted on the outer wall of the power shaft 210 and located to the right of the right-side bevel gear 202. Each bearing seat 220 is a bearing, and its inner ring is fixed to the outer wall of the power shaft 210. A first fixed bearing seat 230 is mounted on the outer wall of the drive shaft 200, also a bearing, which serves to support the drive shaft 200 without affecting its rotation. The first fixed shaft seat 230 is fixedly connected to the bearing seats 220 at the first position on the left and the right position on the right via connecting shaft arms. The second fixed shaft seat 320 is installed on the outer wall side of the output shaft 300.

[0027] The inner wall of the side seat 100 is provided with an adjustment component for adjusting the angle of the output shaft 300. The adjustment component includes a bushing 240, which is rotatably connected to the side end of the inner wall of the side seat 100. The side end of the power shaft 210 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side seat 100. The outer wall of the side seat 100 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bushing 240. A roller 340 is connected to the outer wall of the bushing 240, which is close to the output shaft 300, via a short rod. A roller groove 34 is provided on the inner wall of the side seat 100 at a position corresponding to the roller 340. 1. The roller groove 341 is designed to limit the rolling position of the roller 340. The shape of the roller groove 341 corresponds to the swing trajectory of the output shaft 300. Specifically, the roller groove 341 and the swing trajectory of the output shaft 300 can be set as concentric circles. The outer wall of the roller 340 is in rolling connection with the inner wall of the roller groove 341. The end of the roller 340 away from the bushing 240 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 330. The connecting shaft arm at the right end of the second fixed shaft seat 320 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting block 330. When the roller 340 rolls, it can drive the second fixed shaft seat 320 and the output shaft 300 to rotate together via the connecting block 330 and the connecting shaft arm, thereby adjusting the machining angle of the output shaft 300. A special-shaped gear 241 is fixed to the outer wall of the bushing 240 away from the roller 340. A drive motor 400 is fixed to the inner wall of the side seat 100 above the special-shaped gear 241. An adjusting gear 410 is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 400. The adjusting gear 410 and the special-shaped gear 241 are connected. The outer wall of 41 meshes. Specifically, the irregular gear 241 is semi-circular, and anti-detachment blocks can be set at both ends of the irregular gear 241 to prevent the adjusting gear 410 from separating from the irregular gear 241. It is set in the opposite position to the roller 340. The drive motor 400 can drive the adjusting gear 410 to rotate after being powered on. When the adjusting gear 410 rotates, it can rotate with the irregular gear 241 by meshing with the drive shaft sleeve 240, thereby adjusting the position of the roller 340.
[0028] A lifting frame connecting seat 423 is fixed to the inner wall of the side seat 100 at the end of the drive motor 400 away from the bushing 240. A lifting frame 420 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the lifting frame connecting seat 423. The lifting frame 420 and the lifting frame connecting seat 423 can slide through a block and a slot, allowing the lifting frame 420 to separate from the lifting frame connecting seat 423. A splined shaft 421 is fixed to the inner wall of the lifting frame 420 at the center of the left side of the adjusting gear 410. The center of the left side of the outer wall of the adjusting gear 410 is splinedly connected to the splined shaft 421 via a spline groove. When the lifting frame 420 separates from the lifting frame connecting seat 423, the splined shaft 421 separates from the spline groove, and the adjusting gear... Gear 410 can rotate. When spline shaft 421 is inserted into spline groove, it can lock the adjusting gear 410, making the entire adjusting component unable to rotate, thereby fixing the output shaft 300. A support plate is fixed on the outer wall of the lifting frame 420 away from the drive motor 400. A hydraulic lifting rod 422 for pushing the lifting frame 420 to slide is fixed on the inner wall of the side seat 100 at a position corresponding to the support plate. The output end of the hydraulic lifting rod 422 is fixed at a position corresponding to the outer wall of the support plate. The hydraulic lifting rod 422 is set to control the extension and retraction of the lifting frame 420 and the lifting frame connecting seat 423 through the output end, thereby controlling the connection between the spline shaft 421 and the spline groove.
[0029] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: First, personnel can assemble the device according to the above instructions and fix the device in a suitable position on the machine tool. Then, when processing is required, the spline shaft 421 can be connected with the spline groove, so that the adjustment component is locked and fixed. The output shaft of the machine tool can drive the transmission shaft 200 to rotate. The transmission shaft 200 can drive the power shaft 210 and the left side bevel gear 202 to rotate through the upper bevel gear 201 and the right side bevel gear 202. The left side bevel gear 202 can drive the bottom bevel gear 301, the output shaft 300 and the processing tool 310 to rotate through meshing, thereby enabling the workpiece to be processed and produced.
[0030] When the angle of the machining tool 310 needs to be adjusted, the operator can control the hydraulic lifting rod 422 to extend via the controller, causing the lifting frame 420 to extend to the left, thus separating the spline shaft 421 from the spline groove at the top of the adjusting gear 410. Then, the drive motor 400 is powered on and started, causing the drive motor 400 to drive the adjusting gear 410 to rotate through its output end. When the adjusting gear 410 rotates, it can drive the drive bushing 240 to rotate with the special gear 241. When the bushing 240 rotates, it can drive the roller 340 to rotate. When the roller 340 rotates, it can drive the second fixed shaft seat 320 to swing back and forth through the connecting block 330, thereby adjusting the machining angle of the machining tool 310. After the adjustment is completed, the drive motor 400 can be turned off, and the lifting frame 420 can be controlled to retract, causing the spline shaft 421 to engage with the spline groove, thereby locking the adjusting components and allowing the machining tool 310 to perform normal machining.
