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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a tooling solution for machining four-axis equipment: a tooling for machining four-axis equipment includes a connecting flange 1 and a main body 2. The connecting flange 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the main body 2 by bolts. The main body 2 is provided with a drive mechanism 3, which can adjust the position of the worktable 5. A cover plate 4 is provided on the side of the main body 2 away from the connecting flange 1. The cover plate 4 is fixedly connected to the main body 2 by bolts. The worktable 5 is provided on the side of the cover plate 4 away from the main body 2. The worktable 5 fits against the cover plate 4. The worktable 5 is connected to the drive mechanism 3 by bolts.

[0021] The driving mechanism 3 includes screws 301, sliders 302, first gears 303, second gears 304, connecting shafts 305, third gears 306, and knobs 307. The two screws 301 are rotatably connected to the main body 2 via bearings. The threads of the two screws 301 are threadedly connected to the sliders 302. When the screws 301 rotate, they drive the sliders 302 to move synchronously. The two sliders 302 pass through the cover plate 4 and are fixedly connected to the worktable 5 via bolts. When the two sliders 302 move, they drive the worktable 5 to move synchronously. A first gear 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two screws 301. The first gear 303 can drive the screws 301 to move synchronously. Gear 303 meshes with the second gear 304. When the second gear 304 rotates, it can drive the first gear 303 to rotate. A connecting shaft 305 is fixedly connected to the axis of the two second gears 304. The second gears 304 and the connecting shaft 305 rotate synchronously. The two connecting shafts 305 are rotatably connected to the main body 2 through bearings. Both second gears 304 mesh with the same third gear 306. When the third gear 306 rotates, it drives the two second gears 304 to rotate. The axis of the third gear 306 is fixedly connected to the knob 307. The knob 307 has an internal hexagonal hole machined on the side away from the main body 2, into which an internal hexagonal wrench can be inserted. The knob 307 is rotatably connected to the main body 2 through bearings.

[0022] The workbench 5 includes a platform 501, T-slots 502, and side plates 503. Multiple T-slots 502 are uniformly machined on the upper surface of the platform 501 for mounting fixtures to fix workpieces. A side plate 503 is located on the side of the platform 501 near the cover plate 4. The top of the side plate 503 is integrally formed with the platform 501, and the side plate 503 is connected to the drive mechanism 3 by bolts. Multiple reinforcing ribs 6 are provided between the platform 501 and the side plate 503 to enhance the structural strength of the platform 501 and the side plate 503. The multiple reinforcing ribs 6 are fixedly connected to the platform 501 and the side plate 503. Multiple weight-reducing grooves 7 are machined on the main body 2 to reduce the weight of the main body 2 and adjust the center of gravity of the overall device. Multiple dust plugs 8, made of rubber, are inserted at the mounting bolts of the cover plate 4.

[0023] Working principle: The four-axis machine tool connects the flange 1 via a chuck, thus connecting the overall mechanism to the rotary axis of the four-axis machine tool. The workpiece is then placed on the upper surface of the platform 501 of the worktable 5. The workpiece is fixed by a conventional fixture in conjunction with the T-slot 502 on the platform 501. An Allen wrench is inserted into the knob 307 and rotated, causing the knob 307 to drive the third gear 306 to rotate. When the third gear 306 rotates, it drives the two second gears 304 to rotate synchronously. The second gears 304 synchronously drive the corresponding first gears 303 to rotate, causing the screw 301 to rotate synchronously under the drive of the first gear 303. When the screw 301 rotates, the slider 302 moves synchronously upward or downward under the action of the thread, causing the worktable 5 to move synchronously. This allows for position adjustment of the workpiece fixed on the worktable 5, controlling the rotation center of the workpiece for easy processing.
