The traditional gear turning machine tool holder spindle usually adopts an integral structure, the tool is positioned by the cone surface and tightened by the disc spring force. However, this structure has exposed some problems during long-term use, especially during the tool removal process, the tool handle often "locks" in the spindle, resulting in the inability to remove it normally. In this case, the maintenance personnel have to disassemble the entire spindle for maintenance, which not only increases the difficulty of maintenance, but also greatly prolongs the maintenance time and increases the maintenance cost. Summary of the invention

[0024] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4, is a gear turning machine tool holder spindle split type with automatic tool changing mechanism, including a split spindle, a tool handle 9, a disc spring 7, a pull claw 8 and a detection device; the split spindle includes a first spindle 1 and a second spindle 2 connected by loose screws; the tool handle 9 is connected to the first spindle 1 through the pull claw 8, and the pull claw 8 tightens the pull nail on the tool handle 9 through the tension force generated by the disc spring 7 to achieve the fit between the conical surface of the tool handle 9 and the conical surface of the second spindle 2; the detection device includes a first detection switch 10 and a second detection switch 12, which are used to detect whether the tool handle 9 is No, it is installed on the second spindle 2. The split spindle adopts a built-in spindle motor direct drive, the motor cooling adopts a water cooling device, and is provided with a spindle overload automatic detection and alarm device. The disc spring 7 generates a tensioning force through the locking nut 5, and the tensioning force acts on the claw 8 through the intermediate pull rod 4 to achieve the tightening of the tool handle 9. The top of the first spindle 1 is provided with a first detection point 11 and a second detection point 13 used in conjunction with the first detection switch 10 and the second detection switch 12 respectively; when the first detection point 11 and the first detection switch 10 are When the two ends of the tool handle 9 are at the same height, it is judged that there is a knife; the second detection switch 12 and the second detection point 13 are used to confirm the spindle state when there is no tool handle 9. When the second detection switch 12 and the second detection point 13 are at the same height, it is judged that there is no knife. The detection point is fixed on the rod 3 which can be moved up and down, and is connected to the middle pull rod 4 by threading to achieve relative position adjustment with the detection switch. The middle pull rod 4 and the pull claw 8 are connected by threading. The pull claw 8 relies on the tensioning force generated by the disc spring 7 to tighten the pull nail on the tool handle 9, so that the conical surface of the tool handle 9 and the main shaft are aligned. When the conical surfaces of the shafts fit tightly and the conical surfaces of the tool handle 9 and the spindle are too tightly fitted and cannot be loosened by the claw 8, the first spindle 1 and the second spindle 2 can be separated by loosening the screws. If the second spindle 2 is still tightly fitted to the tool handle 9, the tool handle 9 can be knocked out with a copper rod. The connection between the first spindle 1 and the second spindle 2, as well as the connection between the pull rod 3, the claw 8, the disc spring 7 and the locking nut 5 are all designed with anti-loosening measures to ensure stability and safety during the processing. A spacer 6 is also provided between the locking nut 5 and the disc spring 7.

[0025] In this embodiment, the disc spring 7 generates a tightening force by the locking nut 5; first, the compression size of the disc spring 7 is calculated by force, and then the locking nut 5 is tightened by a torque wrench. After the disc spring 7 is compressed to the calculated size, the locking nut 5 is locked. At this time, the disc spring 7 generates a tightening force; the tightening force generated by the disc spring 7 acts on the claw 8 through the intermediate pull rod 4. The intermediate pull rod 4 and the claw 8 are connected by threads. The claw 8 tightens the rivet on the tool handle 9 by relying on the tightening force generated by the disc spring 7. At this time, the conical surface of the tool handle 9 and the conical surface of the second spindle 2 are in contact. After the contact, the tool handle 9 can no longer move upward. The force of the disc spring 7 is relied on to tighten the tool handle 9 through the claw 8. The rivet acts on the tool handle 9, and at this time, the claw 8 can no longer move upward.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the first detection switch 10 detects the first detection point 11, it is determined that there is a knife. The first detection point 11 is fixed on the rod 3, and the rod 3 is connected to the middle pull rod 4 by a thread, so the detection point can move up and down. When the first detection point 11 and the first detection switch 10 are at the same height, the detection switch determines that there is a knife, and when the first detection switch 10 and the first detection point 11 are not at the same height, it is determined that there is no knife.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first detection switch 10 and the second detection switch 12 are position sensors. When there is no knife handle 9, the pull rod 3 continues to move upward for a certain distance under the action of the disc spring 7. At this time, the first detection point 11 and the first detection switch 10 are not at the same level, and the second detection switch 12 and the second detection point 13 are at the same height. At this time, the second detection switch 12 is always on, which means that there is no knife.

[0028] In this embodiment, the conical surface of the tool handle 9 and the conical surface of the spindle are an interference fit. There is a situation where the pull claw 8 is loosened while the tool handle 9 is still in contact with the spindle. At this time, the first spindle 1 and the second spindle 2 can be loosened by loosening the screws. If the second spindle 2 is still tightly fitted to the tool handle 9, the tool handle 9 can be knocked out with a copper rod.

[0029] In this embodiment, under normal circumstances, the first spindle 1 and the second spindle 2 are integrated as a whole. If the precision loss of the first bonding surface A and the second bonding surface B of the second spindle 2 requires the first spindle 1 and the second spindle 2 to be replaced as a whole, under the structure of this patent, only the second spindle 2 needs to be replaced.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
