Abstract

A circular sawing machine having a hidden-type infrared guide device includes a main frame, a saw base pivotally mounted on the main frame, an infrared guide device, and an operation set. The infrared guide device is mounted on the saw base and includes a slide slidably mounted on the saw base, and an infrared indication lamp mounted on the slide. The slide is formed with an elongated slot. The operation set is mounted on the infrared guide device, and includes a drive plate, a movable pin, and an elastic plate. The movable pin is extended through the elongated slot of the slide and has a first end pivoted with the drive plate, and a second end combined with the elastic plate. The elastic plate is mounted on the movable pin and rested on the slide.

Claims

1. A circular sawing machine having a hidden-type infrared guide device, comprising:

a main frame, provided with a worktable;

a saw base, pivotally mounted on the main frame, and provided with a blade;

an infrared guide device, mounted on the saw base, and including a slide slidably mounted on the saw base, and an infrared indication lamp mounted on the slide to move therewith, the slide being formed with an elongated slot; and

an operation set, mounted on the infrared guide device, and including a drive plate, a movable pin, and an elastic plate,

the drive plate pivotally mounted on a first end of the movable pin,

the movable pin extended through the elongated slot of the slide and having a second end combined with the elastic plate,

the elastic plate mounted on the movable pin and rested on the slide.

2. The circular sawing machine having a hidden-type infrared guide device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the saw base is provided with an upper blade guard, and the infrared guide device is mounted on the upper blade guard of the saw base.

3. The circular sawing machine having a bidden-type infrared guide device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the infrared guide device further includes a hollow scat secured on an upper blade guard of the saw base for receiving the slide therein so that the slide is fully hidden in an inner surface of the seat when the infrared guide device is not in use.

4. The circular sawing machine having a hidden-type infrared guide device in accordance with claim 3, wherein the seat of the infrared guide device has a distal end formed with an opening for facilitating exposure of the slide when the infrared guide device is in use.

5. The circular sawing machine having a hidden-type infrared guide device in accordance with claim 3, wherein the seat of the infrared guide device has an outer surface formed with a concave mounting space for receiving the drive plate and the movable pin of the operation set.

6. The circular sawing machine having a hidden-type infrared guide device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the operation set further includes a press block mounted on the movable pin, and rested on the inner face of the drive plate.

7. The circular sawing machine having a hidden-type infrared guide device in accordance with claim 6, wherein the inner face of the drive plate is provided with a cam portion rested on the press block.

8. The circular sawing machine having a hidden-type infrared guide device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the slide is formed with a receiving chamber for receiving the infrared indication lamp.
