[0011] Preferably, the omnidirectional casters are symmetrically distributed about the bisecting line of the clamping table, and the first lead screw mechanism is located inside the omnidirectional casters.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) This device can achieve rapid position adjustment, thereby improving the installation efficiency of this device and reducing the installation difficulty of this device.

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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a modular and reconfigurable automated production line, including a clamping table 8, a first lead screw mechanism 4 at the bottom of the clamping table 8, a sliding groove on the top side of the clamping table 8, a fixture frame 7 inserted inside the sliding groove, electric cylinders 3 fixedly connected to both sides of the clamping table 8, one end of the electric cylinder 3 passing through the clamping table 8 and connected to the fixture frame 7, the electric cylinder 3 of this structure can push the fixture frame 7 to move automatically, thereby facilitating the clamping rod 9 on the inner side of the fixture frame 7 to clamp the workpiece, the two ends of the first lead screw mechanism 4 are respectively connected to the second lead screw mechanism 5, universal casters 6 are installed at the bottom of the clamping table 8, the universal casters 6 are symmetrically distributed about the bisector of the clamping table 8, the first lead screw... Mechanism 4 is located inside the omnidirectional caster 6. This structure, by setting the omnidirectional caster 6, can support the clamping table 8 without causing motion interference with the first lead screw mechanism 4 and the second lead screw mechanism 5, thereby making the clamping table 8 more stable during use. The first lead screw mechanism 4 and the second lead screw mechanism 5 are both composed of a fixed base, a lead screw, a lead screw slide, and a motor. The first lead screw mechanism 4 can drive the clamping table 8 to move laterally, and the second lead screw mechanism 5 can drive the clamping table 8 to adjust its position longitudinally, making it easy to install the clamping table 8 in a suitable position on the production line. A clamping frame 7 is slidably connected to the top side of the clamping table 8, and a drive motor 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping frame 7. One end of the drive motor 1 shaft is connected to the shaft of the fixture base 2. This drive motor 1 can drive the fixture base 2 to rotate automatically. Multiple grooves are provided on the inner wall of the fixture frame 7, and clamping rods 9 are inserted into these grooves. The clamping rods 9 have a "T" shape. This structure allows the workpiece to be clamped inside, facilitating subsequent processing. Supporting springs 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the grooves in the fixture frame 7. One end of the supporting spring 10 is connected to the clamping rod 9. The supporting springs 10 are symmetrically distributed about the bisector of the clamping rod 9. This structure allows the supporting springs 10 to support the clamping rod 9, so that when the supporting rod 13 separates from the clamping rod 9, the clamping rod 9 can retract into the fixture frame 7 under the action of the supporting springs 10. The fixture frame 7 has a shaft 12 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove. One end of the shaft 12 is connected to an adjusting motor 11. The outer wall of the shaft 12 is fixedly connected to a support rod 13. Multiple support rods 13 are provided on the outer wall of the shaft 12. The multiple support rods 13 are of different lengths. One end of the support rod 13 is supported on the inner side of the clamping rod 9. The shaft 12 of this structure can drive the support rods 13 of different lengths on the outer wall to switch positions by rotating. The longest support rod 13 can clamp the smaller workpieces of the clamping rod 9. The adjusting motor 11 can drive the shaft 12 to rotate automatically. The adjusting motor 11 can be controlled by a PLC. The fixture frame 7 has a fixture seat 2 rotatably connected to the inner side. The clamping rod 9 is telescopically connected to the inner side of the fixture seat 2.

[0022] Working principle: When using this modular reconfigurable automated production line, firstly, the two ends of the second lead screw mechanism 5 are fixed to the frame position to be installed on the production line using bolts. At this time, the universal caster 6 is stably supported on the horizontal frame. Then, the first lead screw mechanism 4 and the second lead screw mechanism 5 are started to move and adjust the position of the clamping table 8. After the position of the clamping table 8 is adjusted, the workpiece is placed in the clamping rod 9 inside the fixture frame 7. At the same time, the electric cylinder 3 pushes the fixture frame 7 and the clamping rod 9 to move closer to both sides of the workpiece, and starts the adjusting motor 11. After the adjusting motor 11 drives the shaft 12 to rotate, the support rod 13 of appropriate length supports the clamping rod 9, so that the clamping rod 9 can tightly clamp the workpiece for subsequent processing.
