DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figure 1-5The present invention provides a technical solution: a large-capacity floor-standing disc-type lifting tool magazine, including a lifting frame 1, a threaded rod 2 is rotatably installed inside the lifting frame 1, and a threaded sleeve 3 is threadedly sleeved on the surface of the threaded rod 2. The outer surface of the threaded sleeve 3 is movably connected to the inner surface of the lifting frame 1. When the threaded rod 2 rotates, it will drive the threaded sleeve 3 to slide inside the lifting frame 1, so that the position of the threaded sleeve 3 can be adjusted. Slide grooves 4 are provided on both sides of the lifting frame 1, and round rods 5 are fixedly installed inside the slide grooves 4. Slide blocks 6 are movably sleeved on the surfaces of the round rods 5. The inner surface of the slide block 6 and the outer surface of the round rod 5 are both smooth, so that the slide block 6 can slide more smoothly on the surface of the round rod 5 and reduce the occurrence of jamming. One side of the slide block 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded sleeve 3, and the threaded sleeve 3 can slide when the threaded rod 2 rotates. When the lifting frame 1 is in motion, the slider 6 will be driven to slide inside the slide groove 4 and on the surface of the round rod 5. Due to the design of the round rod 5 and the slider 6, the sliding of the silk sleeve 3 can be made more stable. A roller 7 is rotatably installed on the top of the lifting frame 1. The bottom of the roller 7 passes through the lifting frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 2. When the roller 7 rotates, it will drive the threaded rod 2 to rotate, and then drive the silk sleeve 3 to rotate. A mounting plate 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the lifting frame 1. A round shaft 9 is rotatably installed on the top of the mounting plate 8. A belt 10 is movably sleeved on the surface of the round shaft 9 and the roller 7. The belt 10 is elastic and can buffer and absorb vibration. It can reduce impact and vibration during the transmission process, making the transmission more stable and low in noise. When the transmission system is overloaded, the belt 10 will slip on the round shaft 9 and the roller 7. It prevents other components from being damaged due to overload and plays a role in protecting the equipment. It can adapt to transmission with a larger center distance and can effectively transmit power when the center distance between the two shafts is large. The belt 10 has high transmission efficiency and can ensure the effective transmission of energy to a certain extent. The round shaft 9 will drive the belt 10 to rotate when it rotates, and then drive the roller 7 to rotate, thereby improving the efficiency of adjustment. A rotating rod 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the round shaft 9. When the rotating rod 11 rotates, it will drive the round shaft 9 to rotate, and then drive the belt 10 to rotate. A protective box 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting frame 1 and the mounting plate 8. The protective box 12 can protect the roller 7, the round shaft 9 and the belt 10 to reduce the damage caused by external forces. A lifting motor is fixedly installed on the top of the protective box 12 13, and the output end of the lifting motor 13 passes through the protective box 12 and is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 11. The lifting motor 13 will cause the rotating rod 11 to rotate when it is running, thereby improving the rotation efficiency of the circular shaft 9. A moving plate 14 is fixedly installed on the surface of the slider 6. The inner surface of the moving plate 14 is movably connected to the outer surface of the lifting frame 1. When the moving plate 14 slides, it will drive the moving plate 14 on the surface of the lifting frame 1. The inner surface of the moving plate 14 and the outer surface of the lifting frame 1 are both smooth, which can make the moving plate 14 slide more smoothly on the surface of the lifting frame 1 and reduce the occurrence of jams. A bearing 15 is rotatably installed on the surface of the moving plate 14. The bearing 15 supports the mechanical rotating body, reduces the friction coefficient during its movement, and ensures its rotation accuracy.A driven gear 16 is rotatably installed on the surface of the bearing 15. When the movable plate 14 slides, it will drive the bearing 15 to slide, and then drive the driven gear 16 to slide. The gear has high strength and rigidity and can withstand large torque. It is suitable for occasions such as disc tool magazines that need to drive a certain weight of tools to rotate. It can ensure the stability of the tool magazine during high-speed rotation and long-term operation. The gear transmission structure is simple, the operation is stable, and it is not easily disturbed by external factors. The service life of the gear is long, which can reduce the maintenance cost and downtime of the tool magazine and improve the overall reliability of the equipment. A disc tool magazine 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the driven gear 16. When the driven gear 16 slides, it will drive the disc tool magazine 17 to slide. The automatic lifting function can make the tool magazine drop to a lower position when not in use, reducing the occupation of the space above the workshop, making the workshop layout more compact and reasonable, and the automatic lifting function can accurately send the tool to the appropriate tool changing position, better cooperate with the tool changing mechanism of the machine tool, reduce the tool changing time, and improve the processing efficiency. Moreover, the tool magazine lifting process can be carried out in parallel with other machine tool operations, further shortening the overall processing time. The tool magazine automatically lifts to the designated position for tool change, avoiding collision, wear and other damages that may be caused to the tool during manual handling or manual adjustment. This is beneficial to protecting the tool, extending the tool life, and reducing processing costs. The automatically lifting disc tool magazine 17 is convenient for maintenance personnel to carry out inspection and maintenance. When the tool magazine is lowered to a low position, maintenance personnel can more easily access various parts of the tool magazine to clean, lubricate, inspect and replace parts, etc., which helps to timely discover and solve potential problems and ensure the normal operation of the tool magazine. At the same time, the driven gear 16 will also drive the disc tool magazine 17 to rotate when it rotates. The disc tool magazine 17 is a device for storing and replacing tools. It arranges the tools along the circumference through a disc-shaped design, which is convenient for quick tool replacement. The capacity of the disc tool magazine 17 can be set according to the specific situation.
[0026] A vertical plate 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider 6, and a horizontal plate 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate 18. When the slider 6 slides, it will drive the vertical plate 18 to slide, and then drive the horizontal plate 19 to slide. A rotating shaft 20 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 19, and a driving gear 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 20. The outer surface of the driving gear 21 is meshed and connected with the outer surface of the driven gear 16. When the rotating shaft 20 rotates, it will drive the driving gear 21 to rotate, and then drive the driven gear 16 to rotate. This method uses gears for transmission. It can ensure a relatively accurate transmission ratio, so that the rotation angle of the disc tool magazine is accurate, thereby ensuring that the tool can be accurately positioned at the tool change position, which is beneficial to improving the processing accuracy. When transmitting power, the energy loss is small, and the power of the motor can be efficiently transmitted to the tool magazine to achieve rapid rotation, which is helpful to improve the tool change speed of the tool magazine, thereby improving the processing efficiency. A rotating motor 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 19, and the output end of the rotating motor 22 passes through the horizontal plate 19 and is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 20. When the rotating motor 22 is running, The rotating shaft 20 rotates, thereby improving the rotation efficiency of the driving gear 21. Guide rails 27 are fixedly installed at both ends of the lifting frame 1, and the outer surface of the guide rail 27 is movably connected to the inner surface of the moving plate 14. The outer surface of the guide rail 27 and the inner surface of the moving plate 14 are both smooth, which can make the sliding of the moving plate 14 more stable. A vertical rod 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 1, and a reinforcing plate 24 is fixedly installed around the surface of the vertical rod 23. The reinforcing plate 24 can significantly increase the bending stiffness of the vertical rod 23, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the structure. Increasing the bending rigidity of the lifting frame 1 can improve the stress distribution of the lifting frame 1, reduce stress concentration, and improve the bearing capacity of the structure. The reinforcing plate 24 can share part of the load and reduce the stress of the vertical rod 23 itself, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the vertical rod 23. The bottom of the vertical rod 23 and the reinforcing plate 24 is fixedly installed with a bottom plate 25, and the top of the bottom plate 25 is surrounded by mounting holes 26. The number of the mounting holes 26 is four, and the four mounting holes 26 have the same size. Due to the design of the bottom plate 25 and the mounting holes 26, it is convenient to install it.
