[0013] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention provides an automatic tool changing machine for heat shrinkable tool handles by setting a precision clamping part, a floating clamping part, a driving rod, etc., wherein the tool rod part and the tool end are clamped by the precision clamping part and the floating clamping part respectively. The precision clamping part plays a role of precise positioning, and the floating clamping part plays a role of auxiliary floating clamping of the tool end. The advantage of such a setting is that the precision clamping part clamps the tool rod part closer to the tool handle clamping opening, which can improve the overlap between the tool and the tool handle clamping opening. When the tool enters the tool handle opening, the tool handle clamping opening is used to position the tool. The floating clamping of the floating clamping part will not seriously damage the angle of the tool, which is conducive to the smooth entry of the tool into the tool clamping opening.
[0014] The automatic tool changing machine for heat shrinkable tool handles of the present invention is equipped with a pressure sensor, a tension sensor, a telescopic rod, a driving rod, etc. The floating clamping part is relaxed first, and the driving rod drives the precision clamping part to move downward. The pressure sensor detects the pressure. When the pressure between the precision clamping part and the driving rod is very large, it means that the tool handle has not expanded enough and needs to be heated again until the pressure of the pressure sensor is reduced. The driving rod can drive the precision clamping part to insert the tool rod into the clamping hole of the tool handle, which can efficiently install the tool and avoid the situation where the heating time is too long and the installation efficiency is too low. There is no need to manually set the heating time or conduct manual experiments, and the efficiency and safety are higher.
[0015] When the tool holder needs to be cooled to clamp the tool, the precision clamping part clamps the tool rod again, and the telescopic rod drives the driving rod to move slightly upward through the floating clamping part. The tension sensor detects the tension value. When the tension value of the tension sensor exceeds the set value, we can determine that the tool holder has been cooled and the tool has been locked, completing the function of automatic fast tool clamping of the heat shrink tool holder. By setting the tension sensor, the clamping degree of the tool holder mouth on the tool can be detected at any time, which can play the role of efficient installation and disassembly of the tool, avoiding the inefficiency of manual operation and avoiding many problems of manual attempts to test the tightness of the tool, which will damage the installation length of the tool.
