Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a flexible clamp with an adjustable function. The present invention includes a base 1, two support blocks 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a threaded crossbar 3 rotatably connected to the right side of the left support block 2, a transverse block 4 threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded crossbar 3, a first short shaft 5 rotatably connected to both the front and back of the transverse block 4, a connecting block 6 rotatably connected to the outer side of each of the two first short shafts 5, a second short shaft 7 rotatably connected to the inner side of each of the two connecting blocks 6, a housing 8 fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two second short shafts 7, a vertical block 9 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a long shaft 10 rotatably connected to the inner side of the vertical block 9, a housing 8 rotatably connected to the outer side of the long shaft 10, and a clamping mechanism 11 provided inside the housing 8.

[0028] The clamping mechanism 11 includes two rotating shafts 1101. Pulleys 1102 are fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two rotating shafts 1101. The same belt 1103 is driven to the outer side of each of the two pulleys 1102. Threaded vertical rods 1104 are fixedly connected to the top of each of the two rotating shafts 1101. Lifting blocks 1105 are threadedly connected to the outer side of each of the two threaded vertical rods 1104. Flexible clamping blocks 1106 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of each of the two lifting blocks 1105.

[0029] The belt 1103 enables the two pulleys 1102 to rotate;

[0030] The top of the outer casing 8 is fixedly connected with two limiting rods 12, and the outer sides of the two limiting rods 12 are slidably connected with lifting blocks 1105;

[0031] The movement of the lifting block 1105 is limited by the limiting rod 12;

[0032] The top of the right threaded vertical rod 1104 is fixedly connected to the first throttle 13, and the bottom of the horizontal moving block 4 is fixedly connected to the slider 14.

[0033] By using slider 14, the movement of transverse block 4 becomes more stable;

[0034] The outer side of the slider 14 is slidably connected to the base 1, and the right side of the threaded crossbar 3 is fixedly connected to the extension shaft 15.

[0035] The threaded crossbar 3 can be rotated by extending the shaft 15;

[0036] A second throttle 16 is fixedly connected to the right side of the extension shaft 15, and a support block 2 is rotatably connected to the outside of the extension shaft 15.

[0037] The second throttle 16 allows the extension shaft 15 to be rotated easily under force.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] Step 1: Place the workpiece on top of the outer casing 8, then rotate the first throttle 13, causing the first throttle 13 to drive the right threaded vertical rod 1104 to rotate. The rotation of the right threaded vertical rod 1104 drives the right rotating shaft 1101 to rotate, which in turn causes the right pulley 1102 to rotate. Through the belt 1103, the belt 1103 drives the left pulley 1102 to rotate, which in turn causes the left rotating shaft 1101 to drive the left threaded vertical rod 1104 to rotate. The two threaded vertical rods 1104 drive the two lifting blocks 1105 to move down through the two limiting rods 12, which in turn causes the two flexible clamping blocks 1106 to clamp the workpiece.

[0040] Step 2: When the workpiece needs to be angled, rotate the second throttle 16, which drives the extension shaft 15 to rotate. The rotation of the extension shaft 15 drives the threaded crossbar 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the transverse block 4 to move to the left. The transverse block 4 drives the first short shafts 5 on the front and back sides to move to the left. The leftward movement of the two first short shafts 5 drives the second short shaft 7 and the outer shell 8 to move through the two connecting blocks 6. Through the rotation of the first short shafts 5 and the second short shaft 7, the outer shell 8 moves in a circular motion around the long shaft 10, thereby enabling the outer shell 8 to be angled for workpiece processing.
