Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tool replacement, and in particular to a tool changing mechanism for a numerically controlled machine tool. Background Art
[0002] A CNC lathe is a high-precision, high-efficiency automated machine tool. It mainly uses a turning tool to perform turning processing on a rotating workpiece. The turning tool generally needs to be fixed on a tool changer. The CNC machine tool controls the tool changer to perform mobile turning processing. Since multiple sets of tools of different specifications are installed on the tool changer, it is often necessary to rotate the tool changer to replace different tools for processing during the turning process of the workpiece.
[0003] The existing CNC machine tool tool changing mechanism has the following shortcomings: 1. The existing tool changing mechanism is usually independently installed on the outside of the machine tool and cannot be integrated inside the machine tool, which easily increases the overall volume of the machine tool and increases the occupied space of the machine tool, which is not conducive to saving the application of processing space and increases the manufacturing cost of the entire machine tool.
[0004] 2. During the processing of CNC machine tools, in order to cool down and protect the tools, cutting fluid will be sprayed on the tools in real time. When changing the tools, the cutting fluid remaining on the surface of the working tools can easily cause the working tools to become dirty, which will affect the processing accuracy and quality when used next time.
[0005] 3. The operating tools usually cannot be automatically cleaned after replacement. The cutting fluid adhering to the surface of the tool will cause the tool to rust, thereby reducing the service life and processing efficiency of the tool, while increasing the maintenance cost of the machine tool and the frequency of tool replacement.

[0017] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1.

[0018] 2. The present invention designs two sponges, which can be used to wipe the surface of the working tool in time after the working tool is replaced, so as to achieve cleaning after the working tool is replaced and ensure that the processing accuracy and processing quality of the tool will not be affected when it is used next time.

[0020] 4. The present invention designs a wiping device, namely a collecting box, a pushing assembly and two sponges. Since the two mounting shells are plugged into the collecting box, the two sponges for absorbing cutting fluid are driven to shrink toward the inside of the collecting box by a third electric push rod until the two sponges contact the Y-shaped limit plate. Since the spacing between the top and bottom of the Y-shaped limit plate and the collecting box gradually decreases from large to small, the absorbed cutting fluid is squeezed out of the two sponges. The squeezed cutting fluid can only flow into the discharge channel from the discharge port under the shielding effect of the elastic block, and then flow out from the discharge channel to the outside of the machine tool, thereby ensuring the internal cleanliness of the machine tool. There is no need for manual cleaning, which saves labor costs and reduces the safety hazards of manually drilling into the machine tool to clean dirt.
[0021] 5. The present invention designs a number of circular sliders, hemispherical buckles and locking springs, and designs positioning grooves at one end of the working tool and the tool to be replaced. Through the buckle-type plug-in and pull-out structure, the working tool and the tool to be replaced can be quickly pulled out, the working tool and the turntable can be quickly installed after replacement, and the tool to be replaced can be quickly installed between the tool seat slot, thereby improving the tool changing efficiency of the mechanism.
[0022] 6. The present invention can ensure the stability of the working tool during processing by designing a second positioning block inside the tool holder slot. With a number of hemispherical buckles, it is not easy to separate from the tool holder, thereby improving the stability of processing. At the same time, by designing the first positioning block, it can ensure that the working tool and the tool to be replaced can be firmly inserted on the outer wall of the turntable and are not easy to separate from the turntable. At the same time, it is also convenient to pull out the tool from the turntable for quick tool change, thereby ensuring the tool changing effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When the electric clamp 122 pulls the working tool 60 in the slot of the tool holder 52 toward the end away from the processing table 51, the several hemispherical buckles 522 are resisted by the outer wall of the working tool 60 except the slot 421, so that the several hemispherical buckles 522 drive the several circular sliders 521 to retract into the several circular slide grooves through the several connecting rods. At this time, the holding spring 523 changes from the initial state to the retracted state, thereby achieving the following effect: The hemispherical buckle 522 unlocks the working tool 60, which makes it easier for the electric clamp 122 to pull the working tool 60 out of the slot in the tool holder 52, and then the pulled-out working tool 60 is slid toward the end close to the turntable 40 by the second slide plate 112, until the electric clamp 122 located on the top of the Z-shaped plate 121 slides to be flush with the tool to be replaced 42 on the turntable 40, and then the tool to be replaced 42 is clamped, and the clamped tool to be replaced 42 is pulled out of the turntable 40 by the first slide plate 102, and then the pulled-out tool to be replaced 42 is first pulled away from the turntable 40 by the second slide plate 112. Move a certain distance away from one end of the adapter plate 114, and then drive the Z-type plate 121360 degrees to rotate through the stepper motor 120 to swap the position of the working tool 60 with the tool to be replaced, and then insert the removed working tool 60 into the vacant first positioning block 400 on the outer wall of the turntable 40 through the cooperation of the first slide plate 102 and the second slide plate 112, and then drive the tool to be replaced to be inserted into the slot on the tool holder 52 through the cooperation of the first slide plate 102 and the second slide plate 112, and realize the installation under the locking action of several hemispherical buckles 522, thereby completing the tool changing operation.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 14As shown, the tool 42 to be replaced includes a milling cutter, a chamfering cutter, a first drill bit, a second drill bit, a first grinding rod and a second grinding rod. One end of the milling cutter, the chamfering cutter, the first drill bit, the second drill bit, the first grinding rod and the second grinding rod are all provided with a positioning groove 420, and the outer walls of the milling cutter, the chamfering cutter, the first drill bit, the second drill bit, the first grinding rod and the second grinding rod in the circumferential direction are all provided with a clamping groove 421 for the hemispherical clamping 522 to be clamped. The milling cutter is used for milling processing and for cutting off the excess of the workpiece. The first drill bit and the second drill bit are used for drilling. The two are of different sizes and can drill holes of different sizes. The first grinding rod and the second grinding rod are used to grind burrs in the hole wall after the hole is processed. The first grinding rod and the second grinding rod are of different sizes and are used for rough grinding and fine grinding. The chamfering cutter is used to chamfer the edge of the hole.
[0037] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the tool needs to be changed, the micromotor 111 is first started by the controller, thereby causing the screw rod 110 to rotate. Since the second slide plate 112 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 110, the two second sliders 113 are fixedly connected to the second slide plate 112, and each second slider 113 is slidably connected to a slide rail, thereby driving the second slide plate 112 to approach one end close to the tool holder 52.
[0038] When the second slide 112 drives the two electric clamps 122 to approach one end close to the tool holder 52, since the output end of the stepper motor 120 is fixedly connected to the Z-shaped plate 121, the stepper motor 120 is fixedly connected to the second slide 112, thereby starting the electric clamp 122 at the bottom end of the Z-shaped plate 121 through the controller, and the tool on the tool holder 52 is clamped by the electric clamp 122.
[0039] After the electric clamp 122 clamps the tool on the tool holder 52, the first electric push rod 100 is started through the controller to shrink its output end. Since the output end of the first electric push rod 100 is fixedly connected to the first slide plate 102 through the push plate 101, the first slide plate 102 is slidably connected to the two guide rails on the first mounting plate through the two first sliders 103, the adapter plate 114 is fixedly connected to the first slide plate 102, and the two electric clamps 122 are installed on the adapter plate 114 through the telescopic assembly 11, thereby pulling the tool in the slot of the tool holder 52 toward the end away from the processing table 51.
[0040] When the electric clamp 122 pulls the working tool 60 in the slot of the tool holder 52 toward the end away from the processing table 51, the several hemispherical buckles 522 are resisted by the outer wall of the working tool 60 except the slot 421, so that the several hemispherical buckles 522 drive the several circular sliding blocks 521 to retract toward the inside of the several circular sliding grooves through the several connecting rods. At this time, the clamping spring 523 changes from the initial state to the retracted state, thereby realizing the unlocking of the working tool 60 by the several hemispherical buckles 522, thereby facilitating the electric clamp 122 to pull the working tool 60 out of the slot of the tool holder 52, and then slide the pulled out working tool 60 toward the end close to the turntable 40 through the second slide plate 112, until the electric clamp 122 located at the top of the Z-shaped plate 121 slides to the turntable 40 The tool 42 to be replaced is aligned with the tool 42 to be replaced, and then the tool 42 to be replaced is clamped, and the clamped tool 42 to be replaced is pulled out from the turntable 40 by the first slide 102, and then the pulled out tool 42 to be replaced is first moved a certain distance to the end away from the adapter plate 114 by the second slide 112, and then the Z-type plate 121 is driven by the stepping motor 120 to rotate 360 degrees to swap the position of the working tool 60 with the tool to be replaced, and then the first slide 102 and the second slide 112 cooperate to insert the pulled out working tool 60 into the vacant first positioning block 400 on the outer wall of the turntable 40, and then the first slide 102 and the second slide 112 cooperate to drive the tool to be replaced to be inserted into the slot on the tool holder 52, and under the locking action of a plurality of hemispherical buckles 522, the installation is achieved, and then the tool changing operation is completed.
[0041] After the working tool 60 is replaced with one of the tools 42 to be replaced, the third electric push rod 210 is started by the controller, so that its output end extends to the end close to the turntable 40. Since its output end is fixedly connected to one of the mounting shells 212 through the push block 211, the two mounting shells 212 are connected together through two connecting plates 213, and each sponge 22 is plugged into a mounting shell 212, thereby driving the sponge 22 to extend toward the end close to the working tool 60 until the two sponges 22 wipe the entire working outer wall of the replaced working tool 60 to wipe off the remaining cutting fluid on the working outer wall, or it can be said to be sucked off, so as to achieve cleaning after the working tool 60 is replaced. Since the two mounting shells 212 are plugged into the collection box 20, the two sponges 22 that absorb the cutting fluid are driven to the collecting box 20 through the third electric push rod 210. The interior of the collecting box 20 contracts until the two sponges 22 contact the Y-shaped limit plate 200. Since the distance between the top and bottom of the Y-shaped limit plate 200 and the collecting box 20 gradually decreases, the absorbed cutting fluid is squeezed out of the two sponges 22. The squeezed cutting fluid can only flow into the discharge channel 50 from the discharge port 201 under the shielding effect of the elastic stopper 202, and then flow out from the discharge channel 50 to the outside of the machine tool 5, thereby not causing dirt inside the machine tool 5. The discharged cutting fluid can be received by the collecting barrel to prevent dirt from causing dirt in the factory. It should be noted that the elastic stopper 202 automatically avoids when the two mounting shells 212 contract toward the inside of the collecting box 20, and automatically resets to shield the squeezed cutting fluid when the two mounting shells 212 are reset to the initial position, so that it can only be discharged from the discharge port 201 and will not flow into the inside of the machine tool 5.
[0042] After the cutting fluid on the outer wall of the working tool 60 placed on the turntable 40 after replacement is wiped off by the two sponges 22, the second electric push rod 310 is started by the controller, so that its output end extends toward the end close to the storage tube 30. Since its output end is fixedly connected to the adapter block, the first gear 314 is rotatably connected to the adapter block, the fixed rack 311 is fixed in position, and the movable rack 312 is slidably connected to the second mounting plate through two guide rods. The fixed rack 311 and the movable rack 312 are both meshed with the first gear 314, and one end of one of the guide rods away from the movable rack 312 is fixedly connected to the extrusion rod 313, and the extrusion rod 313 is plugged into the storage tube 30, and then the rust inhibitor in the storage tube 30 is squeezed toward the end close to the spray hole through the extrusion rod 313.
[0043] When the squeezing rod 313 squeezes the rust inhibitor in the storage tube 30 toward one end close to the spray hole, since one end of the delivery pipe 320 is fixedly connected to the spray hole, the other end of the delivery pipe 320 is fixedly connected to the diversion pipe 321, and the diversion pipe 321 is fixedly connected to a plurality of atomizing nozzles 33 through a plurality of branch pipes 322. The plurality of atomizing nozzles 33 are all directed toward the replaced and wiped working tool 60, and then the rust inhibitor is sprayed on the surface of the freshly wiped working tool 60, and the replaced working tool 60 is maintained to improve its service life and working efficiency.
[0044] When a tool 42 to be replaced is required to be replaced with a working tool, the DC motor 410 is started through the controller, so that its output end drives the first gear 314 to rotate. Since the second gear 411 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 413, the first gear 314 and the second gear 411 are meshed and connected, and the first gear 314 is smaller than the second gear 411, the turntable 40 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 413, and the tool 42 to be replaced is fixedly connected to the turntable 40, and then the turntable 40 and the tool 42 to be replaced thereon are driven to rotate through the rotating shaft 413 until the required tool 42 to be replaced is flush with the electric clamp 122 located at the top of the Z-type plate 121, so that it can be conveniently clamped and replaced.
[0045] The milling cutter is used for milling processing to cut off the excess of the workpiece. The first drill bit and the second drill bit are used for drilling holes. The two drill bits are of different sizes and can drill holes of different sizes. The first grinding rod and the second grinding rod are used to grind burrs in the hole wall after the hole is processed. The first grinding rod and the second grinding rod are of different sizes and are used for rough grinding and fine grinding. The chamfering cutter is used to chamfer the edge of the hole.
