Abstract
Description

[0002] Machine tools need to be used in conjunction with cutting tools, and different cutting tools need to be configured according to the type of machine tool, the nature of the workpiece being processed, and the required precision of the workpiece. However, in the traditional machining field, the cutting tools are still manually allocated to the machine tools, which leads to the problem of cutting tool transfer conflicts. That is, cutting tool A and cutting tool B are both applicable to machine tool A and machine tool B, but cutting tool B can only be applied to machine tool A. Manual allocation will assign cutting tool A to machine tool A, while machine tool B also needs to work but has no available cutting tools.
[0003] Meanwhile, during the tool transfer process, there is a problem with the recording error of the tool, which ultimately leads to the paralysis of the entire distribution system.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new central intelligent tool magazine system that supports sharing among multiple machine tools to solve the technical problems of inefficient tool allocation and disordered tool transfer processes.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing specific exemplary configurations only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular articles “a,” “an,” and “the” may also be intended to include plural forms unless otherwise clearly stated herein. The terms “comprising,” “including,” and “having” are inclusive and thus specify the presence of features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein should not be construed as requiring them to be performed in the specific order discussed or shown, unless specifically identified as such. Additional or alternative steps may be employed.
[0024] As used herein, the phrases “in one embodiment,” “according to one embodiment,” “in some embodiments,” etc., generally refer to the fact that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic following the phrase can be included in at least one embodiment of this disclosure. Therefore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic can be included in more than one embodiment of this disclosure, such that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. As used herein, the terms “example,” “exemplary,” etc., are used to “serve as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation, aspect, or design described herein as “example” or “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or superior to other implementations, aspects, or designs. Rather, the use of the terms “example,” “exemplary,” etc., is intended to present concepts in a specific manner.
[0025] Research has revealed that machine tools require frequent tool changes, but these tools are not disposable. Therefore, tool scheduling and allocation need to be managed. Currently, manual allocation is used, but this method is prone to errors. These errors could stem from unreasonable tool allocation or misalignment during the allocation process. For example, tool A and tool B might both be suitable for machine tools A and B, but tool B is only suitable for machine tool A. Manual allocation might assign tool A to machine tool A, even though machine tool B also needs to work but has no available tools. Alternatively, tool A might be intended for machine tool A, but machine tool A uses tool B instead, yet the allocation record still shows tool A on machine tool A, leading to further errors in the allocation process.
[0026] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a central intelligent tool magazine system that supports sharing among multiple machine tools. Each tool is assigned an identity, and various information is recorded in real time within that identity. By centrally allocating each tool, each tool can be used rationally, avoiding machine tool stagnation. Furthermore, with the assistance of automatic conveying, errors during the transfer process are prevented.
[0027] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure below should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0068] The disclosures and other solutions, examples, embodiments, modules, and functional operations described in this document can be implemented in digital electronic circuits, or computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed in this document and their structural equivalents, or combinations thereof. The disclosures and other embodiments can be implemented as one or more computer program products, i.e., one or more modules of computer program instructions encoded on a tangible and non-volatile computer-readable medium for execution by a data processing apparatus or for controlling the operation of the data processing apparatus. The computer-readable medium can be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a storage device, a material composition that influences machine-readable propagated signals, or one or more of these. The terms "data processing unit" or "data processing apparatus" include all means, devices, and machines for processing data, including, for example, programmable processors, computers, or multiprocessors or computer groups. In addition to hardware, the apparatus may also include code that creates an execution environment for a computer program, such as code constituting processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, or combinations thereof. The propagated signals are artificially generated signals, such as machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signals, which are generated to encode information for transmission to a suitable receiver device.
[0069] Computer programs (also known as programs, software, software applications, scripts, or code) can be written in any programming language (including compiled or interpreted languages) and can be deployed in any form, including as standalone programs or as modules, components, subroutines, or other units suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file in a file system. A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to that program, or in multiple coordinating files (e.g., a file storing one or more modules, subroutines, or portions of code). Computer programs can be deployed and executed on one or more computers located at a single site or distributed across multiple sites interconnected by a communication network.
[0070] The processing and logic flows described in this document can be executed by one or more programmable processors that execute one or more computer programs to perform functions by manipulating input data and generating outputs. The processing and logic flows can also be executed by special-purpose logic circuitry, and the devices can be implemented as special-purpose logic circuitry, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) or ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits).
[0071] For example, processors suitable for executing computer programs include general-purpose and special-purpose microprocessors, as well as any one or more of any type of digital computer. Typically, the processor receives instructions and data from read-only memory or random access memory, or both. The basic components of a computer are a processor that executes instructions and one or more storage devices that store the instructions and data. Typically, a computer will also include one or more mass storage devices for storing data, such as magnetic disks, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks, or operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to mass storage devices, or both. However, a computer does not necessarily have such devices. Computer-readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media, and memory devices, including, for example, semiconductor memory devices such as erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, such as internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and optical disc read-only memory (CD ROM) and digital versatile optical disc read-only memory (DVD-ROM). The processor and memory may be supplemented by dedicated logic circuitry or incorporated into dedicated logic circuitry.

Certain features described in the context of individual embodiments may also be implemented in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various functions described in the context of a single embodiment may also be implemented individually in multiple embodiments, or in any suitable sub-combination. Furthermore, although the foregoing features may be described as functioning in certain combinations, or even initially claimed to be so, in certain circumstances, one or more features from a combination of claims may be removed from the combination, and a combination of claims may refer to a sub-combination or a variation of a sub-combination.

[0074] Only some implementations and examples are described; other implementations, enhancements, and variations can be made based on the content described and illustrated in this patent document.
[0075] When no intermediate component exists other than a line, trace, or other medium between the first and second components, the first component is directly coupled to the second component. When an intermediate component other than a line, trace, or other medium exists between the first and second components, the first component is indirectly coupled to the second component. The term "coupling" and its variations include direct coupling and indirect coupling. Unless otherwise stated, the term "about" is used to mean a range including upper and lower 10% of the value.

The present examples are intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive and are not limited to the details given. For example, various elements or components may be combined or integrated into another system, or certain features may be omitted or not implemented.
[0077] In the several embodiments provided herein, it should be understood that the disclosed apparatus and methods can also be implemented in other ways.
