Transmission frames (412) are provided at both ends of the motor beam (401), and the transmission frame (412) and the y-axis slide plate (409) are slidably connected through a y-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (413). An x-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (414) is arranged transversely on the y-axis slide plate (409), and the x-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (414) is slidably connected to the x-axis slide plate (416). One end of the y-axis slide plate (409) is connected to a motor two mounting plate (417), and a motor two (418) is mounted on the motor two mounting plate (417).

A plurality of clamping claw grasping devices (5) are installed on the z-axis slide plate (426). In the first part of the tool placement action, the z-axis slide plate (426) descends and then returns to its position, and the sensor between the clamping claws senses the position of the tool below. After the y-axis slide plate (409) moves in a direction toward the movable tool holder (804), the z-axis slide plate (426) is driven to descend, and the clamping claw cylinder clamps the tool to be replaced in the tool placement position. Then, the z-axis slide plate (426) is driven to rise, so that the bottom of the tool is higher than the tool placement hole (709).Next, the y-axis slide plate (409) is driven by the first synchronous wheel-synchronous belt structure (404) and the first screw rod (405) to move toward the direction of the spare tool disc (702) to above the tool placement hole (709), and the z-axis slide plate (426) is driven to slide down to place the tool to be replaced into the tool placement hole (709), and the clamp is opened and moved upward a certain distance.

When clamping a tool, the tool handle identification sensor first detects whether there is a tool below. After confirming that there is a tool to be clamped, the guide rod cylinder (501) drives the guide rod (502) to move upward. The clamping jaw cylinder gasket (503) then drives the wedge-shaped movable slider (510) to move upward to drive the bidirectional horizontal clamp (507) to open toward the two sides of the grabbing jaw (511), thereby opening the bidirectional horizontal clamp (507) and the grabbing jaw (511). When the jaws of the tool clamp descend to be flush with the clamping portion on the upper part of the tool, the guide rod cylinder (501) drives the guide rod (502) to move downward, and the jaw cylinder gasket (503) then drives the wedge-shaped movable slider (510) to move downward, causing the bidirectional horizontal clamp (507) to move inward, so that the jaws fit with the clamping portion, thereby completing the action of the grabbing jaw (511) clamping the tool.
