The bottom of the placement rack can be abutted against the top of the connecting frame 104 or the box cover 102 or the box cover 2 103; it should be further noted that the clamping member 52 includes a horizontal rack and clamping blocks located at both ends of the horizontal rack. The clamping block is detachably connected to the horizontal rack, and an extension rack can also be detachably installed between the clamping block and the horizontal rack, so as to adjust the size of the movable rack 2 according to the actual size of the movable rack 2. The number of movable racks 2 and tool holders 3 is adjusted to adaptively change the clamping member 52, so as to simultaneously move multiple tool holders 3 through the electrically controlled guide rail 51. A through slot 14 is provided on the top of the tool magazine box 1. It should be noted that: the through slot 14 extends in the horizontal direction, and the through slot 14 is provided on the box frame 101 and the connecting frame 104, that is, the box frame 101 and the connecting frame 104 are both provided with through slots 14 with both ends penetrating and extending horizontally; a magnetic block 23 is embedded at one end of the movable rack 2, so that when two adjacent movable racks 2 are abutted against each other, magnetic adsorption between the magnetic block 23 and the corresponding shell is achieved to ensure the stability of the horizontal movement of multiple movable racks 2 when they are integrated together.

[0026] In the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1-Figure 13The connecting mechanism 35 includes a connecting box 351 installed on the outer wall of the shaft cylinder 31, the bottom end of the connecting box 351 is open, a spring 352 is fixed to the top inner wall of the connecting box 351, and a connecting block 353 is fixed to the bottom end of the spring 352. The connecting block 353 is made of magnetic material, and a through hole 311 is opened at a position corresponding to the outer wall of the shaft cylinder 31 and the connecting block 353. It should be noted that: each tool holder 3 is provided with a connecting mechanism 35, and in a normal state, the connecting block 353 is located between the through hole 311 and the connecting box 351. Even when the connecting box 351 is directly above and the connecting block 353 naturally hangs down at the maximum distance away from the connecting box 351, the connecting block 353 will not extend into the rotating shaft 4, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the tool holder 3 during the horizontal movement of the movable frame 2.

[0027] In the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1-Figure 13 , a cavity is provided in the rotating shaft 4, and the cavity is open at one end away from the motor 41, and a through hole 42 is provided on the inner side of the cavity. The outer wall of the connecting block 353 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the connecting box 351, the inner wall of the through hole 311 and the inner wall of the through hole 42, and an electromagnetic block 44 is provided at a position corresponding to the through hole 42 in the cavity, and an extension rod 43 is installed at one end of the electromagnetic block 44 away from the motor 41, and a mounting plate 431 is installed at one end of the extension rod 43 away from the electromagnetic block 44, and the mounting plate 431 is detachably connected to the box cover 103. It should be noted that: the cavity extends in the middle axis 401, the connecting axis 404 and the positioning axis 403, and the two ends of the cavity in the positioning axis 403 are open, and the electromagnetic block 44 is horizontally extended into the cavity from the direction of the positioning axis 403 and fixed by the mounting plate 431, so that the electromagnetic block 44 is in the cavity but does not rotate with the rotating shaft 4; It should be further explained that: the positions of the electromagnetic block 44 and the through-port 42 are relatively fixed, and each time before the tool holder 3 is selected, the rotating shaft 4 will rotate to a fixed position: for example, the through-port 42 is rotated to an upward setting; then the selected tool holder 3 is moved to a corresponding position so that the through-port 311 and the through-port 42 are connected, and after the electromagnetic block 44 is energized, the connecting block 353 will be magnetically attracted downward, so that the connecting block 353 is extended into the through-port 42, and the connecting block 353 will contact the through-port 311 and the inner wall of the through-port 42 at the same time, so that the rotating shaft 4 can rotate with the corresponding tool holder 3; during the rotation process, the electromagnetic block 44 always remains in a charged state to maintain the stability of the connection between the rotating shaft 4 and the corresponding shaft cylinder 31; and when the tool holder 3 is replaced, the rotating shaft 4 is rotated to a fixed position with the tool holder 3, and then the electromagnetic block 44 is disconnected from the power supply, so that the connecting mechanism 35 in the unselected tool holder 3 is always in a fixed position, which is convenient for quick connection next time.

The sliding contact between the slider 21 and the slide groove 12, and the limited movement of the slider 22 and the ball 222 in the slide groove 13, are used to ensure the stability and anti-deviation effect of the mobile frame 2 during horizontal movement, and the ball 222 is used to ensure the stability of horizontal movement.

[0030] In the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1-Figure 14, a stabilizing assembly 6 is arranged in the middle position on both sides of the tool magazine box 1. It should be noted that: the stabilizing assembly 6 is installed on the outer wall of the box frame 101, and after the moving frame 2 stops moving, the stabilizing assembly 6 corresponds to the position of the corresponding slider 22; the stabilizing assembly 6 includes a fixing frame 61, the fixing frame 61 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tool magazine box 1, and the fixing frame 61 is horizontally installed with a cylinder 2 62 at the end position facing the tool magazine box 1, and the cylinder 2 62 is connected with a pressure block 63 toward the end of the tool magazine box 1, and the outer wall of the tool magazine box 1 is provided with a through hole at a position corresponding to the pressure block 63, and the outer side of the slider 22 is provided with a The pressing groove 221 and the pressing block 63 are matched with the pressing groove 221.
