Annular multi-row tool magazine and tool supply method

Abstract

The invention discloses an annular multi-row tool magazine which comprises a supporting seat. The supporting seat is provided with a rotating seat and a driving mechanism used for driving the rotatingseat to rotate, the rotating seat is provided with at least one group of clamping mechanisms, the clamping mechanisms comprise a plurality of clamping jaws used for clamping tools, the clamping jawsare uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the rotating seat, and when the tools are taken out, the driving mechanism drives the rotating seat to rotate by a preset angle, so that the tools are conveyed to a preset tool taking position. The application requirement of clamping more tools in a small space is realized, in practical application, the number of the tools which canbe accommodated by the tool magazine can be several times that of a straight-row type tool magazine, so that the tool capacity is increased by multiple times, and in addition, the rotating seat is driven by the driving mechanism to realize rotating control, better automatic performance is realized, the annular multi-row tool magazine can be better matched with intelligent machine tool equipment for use, and application requirements are well met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tool magazine for precision machining equipment, in particular to an annular multi-row tool magazine and a tool supply method. Background technique [0002] At present, in the highly automated processing industry, it has become a major trend in the development of the industry to realize automatic tool change through tool magazines and improve processing efficiency. However, due to the limitation of the internal space of machine tools, the capacity of existing tool magazines is small. The number of knives that can be accommodated often cannot meet the processing needs, even if the in-line tool magazine is used, it cannot meet the requirement of the number of knives. It can be seen that the prior art urgently needs a tool storage magazine with a small size and a large capacity. Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a ring-shaped multi-row tool magazine and...
