The left and right moving platform is provided with a clamping claw and a central fixed platform. A left and right reciprocating motion mechanism is provided between the left and right moving platform and the worktable. The clamping claw is fixed on a clamping cylinder that pushes it to move towards the central fixed platform. Two drilling mechanisms are symmetrically arranged in front of the left and right moving platform.
[0006] Furthermore, the left and right moving platform is equipped with a front and rear sliding platform via a back-and-forth reciprocating motion mechanism, and the clamping claw and the central fixing platform are mounted on the front and rear sliding platform. Even further, both the left-and-right reciprocating motion mechanism and the back-and-forth reciprocating motion mechanism include a sliding rod and a pushing cylinder.
[0007] Furthermore, a rounding mechanism is provided between the drilling mechanism and the left and right moving platforms. When the left and right moving platforms move toward the drilling mechanism, the front end of the basket handle is rounded when it passes the rounding mechanism.
[0008] Furthermore, a downward pressure cylinder is provided in the middle of the central fixed platform, and a pressure rod is fixed to the bottom of the piston rod of the downward pressure cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, there are two gripping claws, located on the left and right sides of the central fixing platform.

The left-right moving platform 2 is equipped with a clamping claw 4 and a central fixed platform 5. A left-right reciprocating motion mechanism is provided between the left-right moving platform 2 and the worktable 1. The clamping claw 4 is fixed to a clamping cylinder 401 that pushes it towards the central fixed platform 5. Two drilling mechanisms 3 are symmetrically arranged in front of the left-right moving platform 2. Each drilling mechanism 3 includes a drill bit and a drive motor, which can be directly connected. The drill bit can also be connected to a spindle, and the spindle is connected to the drive motor via a transmission belt.
[0022] Above the left-right moving platform 2, a front-back sliding platform 6 is provided via a back-and-forth reciprocating motion mechanism. The clamping claw 4 and the central fixing platform 5 are mounted on the front-and-back sliding platform 6. Both the left-right reciprocating motion mechanism and the back-and-forth reciprocating motion mechanism include a slide rod and a push cylinder. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the sliding rod I 201 and the pushing cylinder I 202 of the left-right reciprocating motion mechanism are mounted on the left-right moving table 2 with a sliding sleeve. The sliding rod I 201 is fixed to the worktable 1, and the sliding sleeve is fitted onto the sliding rod I 201. The sliding rod II 601 and the pushing cylinder II 602 of the front-back reciprocating motion mechanism are configured in the same way as the left-right moving table 2 described above. Similarly, the adjustable drilling mechanism 3 described below also adopts the same sliding method.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a rounding mechanism 7 is also provided between the drilling mechanism 3 and the left and right moving platforms 2. When the left and right moving platforms 2 move towards the drilling mechanism 3, the front end of the basket handle is rounded when it passes through the rounding mechanism 7, rounding the right-angled edges at both ends of the handle. The rounding mechanism 7 includes a drive motor and a rounding cutter, and the rounding cutter is preferably as shown in the figure. Figure 3 The curved cutting tool shown.
[0024] This utility model further designs an adjustable drilling mechanism 3 and a rounding mechanism 7, the adjustable method being as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the drilling mechanism 3 is mounted on base I 301, which is mounted on the worktable 1 via a slide rail 302. Specifically, the slide rail 302 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 1, and a sliding sleeve 305 fitted onto the slide rail 302 is mounted on the bottom surface of base I 301. An adjusting bolt 303 is provided between base I 301 and the worktable 1. The adjusting bolt 303 is rotatably mounted on the worktable 1, and a threaded hole seat 304 is provided on base I 301 through which the adjusting bolt 303 passes. The rounding mechanism 7 is mounted on base II 701, which has a strip-shaped mounting through hole 702. Base II 701 is mounted on the worktable 1 via bolts passing through the strip-shaped mounting through hole 702.
[0025] A downward-pressing cylinder 8 is disposed in the middle of the central fixed platform 5, and a pressure rod 801 is fixed to the bottom of the piston rod of the downward-pressing cylinder 8. Preferably, there are two clamping claws 4, located on the left and right sides of the central fixed platform 5. The central fixed platform 5 is U-shaped or semi-circular, and the clamping claws 4 include an arc-shaped surface that mates with the bottom of the U-shaped or semi-circular central fixed platform 5. Figure 1 As shown, the central fixed platform 5 is U-shaped, and the front end of the clamping claw 4 is provided with an arc-shaped groove surface that mates with the bottom of the U-shaped central fixed platform 5. For easy handling, a notch 501 is provided at the rear end of the central fixed platform 5. The controller of this utility model is connected to each working cylinder, drilling mechanism, and rounding mechanism of the drilling machine. The controller also includes a foot switch; when the foot switch is pressed, the controller controls the operation of each working cylinder, drilling mechanism, and rounding mechanism. The specific operating method is as follows.
[0026] In use, place the handle between the central fixed platform 5 and the clamping claw 4, then step on the foot switch. The controller controls the clamping cylinder 401 and the pressing cylinder 8 of the clamping claw 4 to move and fix the handle. At the same time, the pushing cylinder II 602 of the reciprocating motion mechanism moves and pushes the front and rear sliding platforms forward. Then, the left and right moving platforms 2 move sequentially to the left drilling mechanism 3 and the right drilling mechanism 3 to complete the rounding of the handle ends and drilling. Finally, the clamping claw 4, the left and right moving platforms 2 and the front and rear sliding platforms 6 return to their initial positions and wait for the next working command.
