[0009] Preferably, a support groove is formed in the top of the tool rest base, and the shape of the support groove is annular. A support ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support groove. The rotating shaft is located inside the support ring.
[0010] Preferably, a reinforcing mechanism is provided on one side of the limiting groove, and the reinforcing mechanism forms a cooperation with the fixing mechanism.
[0011] Preferably, the reinforcement mechanism is composed of a reinforcement plate, a push plate and a transmission component. One side of the reinforcement plate is bolted to the push plate, and the support plate is connected to the push plate through the transmission component. Sliding grooves are formed on both sides of the top of the support plate, and sliders are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two sliding grooves.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0015] 1. By setting the fixing mechanism of the present invention, when fixing the tool, the tool is placed inside the limit groove of the lower tool body. After placement, the limit nut is rotated through the handle. At this time, the limit nut will drive the upper tool body to move downward under the action of the screw rod. The distance between the pressing block and the tool will gradually approach. When the bottom of the pressing block contacts the tool, at this time, as the upper tool body continues to move downward, the pressing block will perform an extrusion and fixing process on the tool, and the tool will drive the support plate to move downward under the action of the pressing block. When the bottom of the support plate acts on the limit plate, the tool will stop moving downward. At this time, the pressing block will complete the fixing process of the tool. Therefore, the stability of the tool fixing can be improved through the extrusion of the pressing block, preventing the tool from shifting during fixing due to the operation of the machine tool, thereby causing deviation in the processing of the workpiece. When the fixing is completed, the limit nut is reversed, and the distance between the upper tool body and the lower tool body will increase. At this time, the pressing force of the pressing block on the tool will decrease, and the support plate will drive the tool to move upward under the action of the second spring, facilitating the disassembly of the tool;
[0016] 2. In the present invention, through the provided fixing mechanism and reinforcement mechanism, when the tool is fixed by the fixing mechanism, as the support plate moves downward, at this time, the first rack will move downward along with the downward movement of the support plate. At this time, through meshing, the first rack drives the second gear to rotate, and when the second gear rotates, it drives the rotating rod to rotate synchronously. At this time, the first gear will rotate synchronously with the rotation of the rotating rod. At this time, under the action of meshing, the first gear drives the second rack to slide to one side, and when the second rack slides, it pushes the push plate to move to one side, and the push plate then pushes the reinforcement plate to move towards one side of the tool, thereby reinforcing the tool through the reinforcement plate. Thus, through the cooperation and joint action between the fixing mechanism and the reinforcement mechanism, the tool can be effectively fixed, thereby improving the stability of tool fixation, facilitating the improvement of the machining effect of the tool on the workpiece, and preventing the tool from deflecting to one side due to poor stability during fixation, thereby causing deviation in the machining of the workpiece.

[0030] On the basis described above, the reinforcement mechanism 21 is composed of a reinforcement plate 29, a push plate 32 and a transmission component 34. One side of the reinforcement plate 29 is bolted to the push plate 32. The support plate 19 is connected to the push plate 32 through the transmission component 34.

[0033] In summary, by means of the above technical solution of the present invention: when fixing the tool, place the tool inside the limit groove 17 of the lower tool body 3. After placement, rotate the limit nut 7 through the handle 9. At this time, the limit nut 7 will drive the upper tool body 4 to move downward under the action of the screw rod 6. The distance between the pressing block 8 and the tool will gradually approach.

Thus, the stability of the tool fixing can be improved through the extrusion of the pressing block 8, preventing the tool from shifting during the fixing process due to the operation of the machine tool, thereby causing deviation in the machining of the workpiece. When the fixing is completed, reverse the limit nut 7, and the distance between the upper tool body 4 and the lower tool body 3 will increase. At this time, the pressing force of the pressing block 8 on the tool will decrease, and the support plate 19 will drive the tool to move upward under the action of the second spring 30, facilitating the disassembly of the tool. When the tool is fixed by the fixing mechanism, as the support plate 19 moves downward, at this time, the first rack 38 will move downward as the support plate 19 moves downward. At this time, through meshing, the first rack 38 drives the second gear 37 to rotate, and when the second gear 37 rotates, it will drive the rotating rod 35 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the first gear 36 will rotate synchronously with the rotation of the rotating rod 35. At this time, the first gear 36 will drive the second rack 39 to slide to one side under the action of meshing, and when the second rack 39 slides, it will push the push plate 32 to move to one side, and the push plate 32 will push the reinforcement plate 29 to move toward the tool, thereby performing a reinforcement process on the tool through the reinforcement plate 29. Thus, through the cooperation and joint action between the fixing mechanism and the reinforcement mechanism 21, the tool can be effectively fixed, thereby improving the stability of the tool fixing.
