The cylinder is fixedly connected to the guide rail bracket via a cylinder support plate, and the cylinder's telescopic shaft is fixedly connected to the slider mounting seat via a mounting plate. This connection method allows the cylinder to stably drive the slider mounting seat to move, ensuring the reliability of the entire structure. Simultaneously, the mounting plate is higher than the guide rail bracket, preventing interference with the guide rail bracket during movement. 4. A support block is provided at the lower end of the top material rod, and a bracket is provided at the upper end of the support block. A circular hole is opened in the middle of the bracket for the top material rod to pass through, which effectively supports the top material rod and further improves the stability of the top material rod during operation.

[0015] 5. By setting a linear guide slider assembly, with the slider and base arranged parallel to each other, and the slide groove on one side of the slider mounting seat engaging with the slider, the slider mounting seat moves more smoothly and steadily, reducing shaking, improving the stability of the material support, and ensuring the accuracy of workpiece processing.

[0018] Please see Figs. 1-2 In this embodiment of the utility model, an automatic lathe tailstock material support structure includes a base 7, the core structure of which and its connection relationship are as follows: Basic support components: The base 7 serves as the installation base for the entire structure, and a positioning plate 8 is provided at the lower end for precise positioning and connection with the tailstock of the automatic lathe; an "L"-shaped guide rail bracket 5 is vertically installed on one side of the base 7, and its bottom is fixed with bolts to ensure the overall support strength. Sliding transmission assembly: The side wall of the guide rail bracket 5 is provided with a linear guide rail slider assembly 4, which consists of a rectangular strip slider embedded in the guide rail bracket 5 and fixed by bolts, and a sliding groove on one side of the slider mounting seat 3. The sliding groove is engaged with the slider and the slider is parallel to the base 7, so that the slider mounting seat 3 can slide smoothly along the slider, reducing running resistance and offset. Material support assembly: The adjustable support plate 9 is connected to one side of the slider mounting base 3 by bolts. Multiple bolt fixing holes are opened on the side of the slider mounting base 3. The installation height and horizontal position of the adjustable support plate 9 can be changed by adjusting the bolt fixing position. The top material rod 11 and the material support rod 6 are respectively installed at both ends of the adjustable support plate 9. The bottom end of the top material rod 11 is provided with a top material rod support block 10. The circular hole of the bracket at the top end allows the top material rod 11 to pass through, thereby enhancing the stability of the top material rod 11. Drive assembly: One end of the slider mounting base 3 is connected to the cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 is fixed to the guide rail bracket 5 via the cylinder support plate 2. Its telescopic shaft is bolted to the side wall of the slider mounting base 3 via a mounting plate. The mounting plate is higher than the guide rail bracket 5 to avoid motion interference, thus realizing the reciprocating drive of the slider mounting base 3. The forward and backward extension of the cylinder 1 controls the movement of the support rod 6 and the push rod 11. When the cylinder 1 extends, the support rod 6 supports the material; when it retracts, the push rod 11 pushes out the part. Long parts require a discharge structure to ensure the machining accuracy of the parts. A guide rail bracket 5 is installed on one side of the base 7. The guide rail bracket 5 is installed perpendicular to the base 7 and has an "L" shaped structure. The bottom of the guide rail bracket 5 is fixed to the upper end of the base 7 with bolts. This connection method ensures the firmness between the guide rail bracket 5 and the base 7. A positioning plate 8 is provided at the lower end of the base 7 for positioning and installing the entire support structure. The side wall of the guide rail bracket 5 is provided with a linear guide rail slider assembly 4, which includes a slider embedded in one side of the guide rail bracket 5 and a groove formed on one side of the slider mounting seat 3. The slider is a rectangular strip structure and is fixedly connected to the guide rail bracket 5 by bolts. The slider is arranged parallel to the base 7. The groove on one side of the slider mounting seat 3 engages with the slider, allowing the slider mounting seat 3 to move smoothly along the slider, ensuring smooth operation of the structure. A slider mounting base 3 is installed on the outside of the linear guide slider assembly 4. An adjustable support plate 9 is installed on one side of the slider mounting base 3. Multiple bolt fixing holes are opened on one side of the slider mounting base 3. The adjustable support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the slider mounting base 3 by bolts. By selecting different bolt fixing holes, the position of the adjustable support plate 9 on the slider mounting base 3 can be adjusted to adapt to different processing requirements. One end of the adjustable support plate 9 is equipped with a top material rod 11, and the other end is equipped with a support rod 6. The lower end of the top material rod 11 is provided with a top material rod support block 10, and the upper end of the top material rod support block 10 is provided with a bracket. A circular hole for the top material rod 11 to pass through is opened in the middle of the bracket. The top material rod support block 10 provides support for the top material rod 11, thereby improving the stability of the top material rod 11 during operation. A cylinder 1 is installed at one end of the slider mounting base 3. The cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the guide rail bracket 5 through the cylinder support plate 2. The telescopic shaft of the cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the slider mounting base 3 through the mounting plate. The mounting plate is higher than the guide rail bracket 5 to avoid interference between the mounting plate and the guide rail bracket 5 during movement. The mounting plate is installed on the side wall of the slider mounting base 3 by bolts to ensure the firmness of the connection between the cylinder 1 and the slider mounting base 3. When the cylinder 1 is working, it can stably drive the slider mounting base 3 to move along the linear guide rail slider group 4, thereby driving the ejector rod 11 and the support rod 6 to perform corresponding actions to realize the support and ejection operations of the workpiece. The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the entire material support structure is installed in a suitable position on the automatic lathe via the positioning plate 8. According to the specifications of the workpiece, the position of the adjustable support plate 9 on the slider mounting seat 3 is adjusted, and the adjustable support plate 9 is fixed with bolts. The cylinder 1 is activated, and its telescopic shaft extends and retracts, causing the slider mounting seat 3 to move along the slider on the linear guide slider assembly 4. This, in turn, moves the ejector rod 11 and the material support rod 6, thereby supporting and ejecting the workpiece, ensuring the stability of the workpiece during processing, and improving processing quality and efficiency.
