[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A tool fixing device for an automatic knife sharpening machine includes a body 1.

The inner wall of the fixing frame 6 is connected by bearings. A screw 8 with positive and negative threads is installed. A large gear 80 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the screw 8. The large gear 80 meshes with a small gear 70. Through the meshing relationship, when the small gear 70 rotates, it can drive the large gear 80 to rotate, so that the screw 8 with positive and negative threads rotates. Two evenly distributed clamping plates 9 are connected to the outer side of the screw 8 with threads. A guide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the fixed frame 6. A movable plate 11 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the guide plate 10. The movable plate 11 is slidably connected to the machine body 1 and fixedly connected to the clamping plates 9.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A positioning mechanism 12 is provided on both the screw rod 8 and the fixed frame 6. The positioning mechanism 12 includes a rotating disk 121. The right end of the screw rod 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 121. The left end of the rotating disk 121 has a locking hole 122. The right vertical part of the fixed frame 6 is slidably connected to a telescopic piece 123. The right end of the telescopic piece 123 is fixedly connected to a locking ball 124. The locking ball 124 is slidably connected to the locking hole 122. The left end of the telescopic piece 123 is fixedly connected to an end plate 125. Through the action of the locking hole 122, the locking ball 124 and other structures, the rotating disk 121 can be rotated and limited to ensure the rotational stability of the screw rod 8.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 Multiple locking holes 122 are provided, and the multiple locking holes 122 are arranged in a ring array on the rotating disk 121. Through the setting of the locking holes 122, they can be used to engage with the locking ball 124. A spring 126 is welded to the right end of the end plate 125. The other end of the spring 126 is welded to the inner right side wall of the fixing frame 6. Through the setting of the spring 126, the end plate 125 can be connected.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 The horizontal part of the fixing frame 6 is provided with an oil injection mechanism 13, which includes an oil reservoir 131. The oil reservoir 131 is fixedly connected to the horizontal part of the fixing frame 6. A telescopic rod 132 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the oil reservoir 131. A guide rod 133 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod 132. The guide rod 133 is slidably connected to the oil reservoir 131. A plug 134 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the telescopic rod 132. The plug 134 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the oil reservoir 131. The lower side of the guide rod 133 is fixed. A second spring 135 is connected, and the other end of the second spring 135 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the oil reservoir 131. An end piece 136 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod 132. The end piece 136 contacts the oil reservoir 131. By setting the end piece 136, the telescopic rod 132 can be pulled to move. By setting the telescopic rod 132 and the guide rod 133, the plug 134 can be driven to a stable moving state, thereby causing the plug 134 to detach from the oil reservoir 131 and allowing the lubricating oil to circulate.
[0026] Working principle: During use, the output shaft is driven by the motor 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the pinion 70 to rotate. In the meshing relationship, the rotation of the pinion 70 drives the large gear 80 to rotate, which in turn drives the positive and negative threaded screw 8 to rotate. In the threaded connection relationship, the two clamping plates 9 can be driven to move towards each other, and the moving plate 11 can be driven to slide along the surface of the guide plate 10 to ensure the stable movement of the clamping plates 9. Finally, the two clamping plates 9 move stably to quickly clamp and fix the tool.
[0027] When the screw 8 rotates, it drives the rotating disk 121 to rotate. Under the pressure of the inner wall of the locking hole 122, the telescopic piece 123 can be pushed to slide along the inner wall of the fixed frame 6, and the end plate 125 can be moved, causing the spring 126 to deform. Finally, the locking ball 124 is disengaged from the locking hole 122. Under the action of force, the locking ball 124 slides along the surface of the rotating disk 121. When the locking ball 124 slides into the next locking hole 122, the spring 126 returns to its original deformation, so as to pull the locking ball 124 into the locking hole 122, limit the rotating disk 121, and then limit the screw 8. Finally, the clamping plate 9 is moved and positioned for use.
[0028] By pulling the end piece 136 upward, the telescopic rod 132 slides along the inner wall of the oil reservoir 131, causing the guide rod 133 to slide along the inner wall of the oil reservoir 131. This ensures the stable movement of the telescopic rod 132 and causes the spring 135 to deform. Ultimately, the plug 134 is completely submerged in the oil reservoir 131, allowing the lubricating oil to circulate and come into contact with the large gear 80 and the small gear 70, thus lubricating the large gear 80 and the small gear 70 and reducing the hard wear problem between the large gear 80 and the small gear 70.
