Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tool changing for numerical control machine tools, and particularly to a tool changing and drilling device for the production of numerical control tool magazine machine tools. Background Art
[0002] In the field of modern machining, numerical control tool magazine machine tools have become key equipment for achieving efficient and precise production. With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry towards high precision, high efficiency, and high automation, the performance requirements for numerical control tool magazine machine tools are becoming increasingly stringent, and the tool changing link is of particular importance.
[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent with publication number CN114603386A discloses a tool changing device for a numerical control machine tool, which relates to the technical field of numerical control machine tools. Among them, a sleeve is horizontally rotatably arranged on a frame. The tool clamping assembly includes a cross bar and a vertical rod arranged perpendicular to each other. The vertical rod is vertically slidably arranged on the sleeve. A plurality of inner tooth groups are spaced apart on the inner ring wall of the annular transmission cavity of the rotary tooth-shaped part, and a plurality of outer tooth groups are spaced apart on the outer ring wall of the annular transmission cavity. Each inner tooth group and outer tooth group are arranged staggeredly in the circumferential direction. The power input end of the first transmission member is a first gear, and the first gear is located in the annular transmission cavity and intermittently meshes with the inner tooth group and the outer tooth group. The power output end of the first transmission member drives the sleeve to rotate. In the prior art disclosed in the above patent, the following technical problems exist: During the tool changing process of a numerical control machine tool, when the clamping seat in the tool magazine and the clamping seat in the drill bit are retracting the tool, there is a downward ejecting action, called top tool, which is to eject the tool from the card slot in the tool sleeve so as to take out the tool for replacement. In the prior art, the tool is first clamped before it can be ejected. Only such an action can prevent the tool from falling during tool changing. However, when the tool is ejected after being clamped, the clamping rod arm in the prior art is of an integral structure, and the clamping head for clamping the tool cannot be adjusted. Therefore, at the moment of ejection, the clamping rod arm will press down, which will cause the clamped tool to deviate from the vertical state. This will lead to two consequences. One is the metal fatigue of the clamping rod arm, and the long-term top tool action will cause the clamping rod arm to deform. The other is that the tool deviates from the vertical when ejected, which will cause the tool to rub against the inner wall of the tool sleeve, resulting in tool damage. And it is not easy to solve such problems in the prior art. Now the clamping rod arms of the tool changing mechanism are all integral and cannot be adaptively adjusted during tool changing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tool changing and drilling device for the production of numerical control tool magazine machine tools to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

A second lead screw is installed between the top and the bottom of the second chute through a bearing. The second lead screw is threadedly sleeved and installed with the drilling machine box.
[0008] Preferably, a vertically arranged lifting inner groove is opened inside the tool changing fixed cylinder. The tool changing sleeve shaft is slidably sleeved inside the lifting inner groove. A sealing top plate is fixed at the top of the tool changing sleeve shaft. A limiting convex block is arranged on the side wall of the sealing top plate. An air duct is sleeved at the top of the tool changing fixed cylinder. The air duct is communicated with the lifting inner groove.
[0009] Preferably, a fixed base clamping groove is opened at the top of the tool changing rotating seat. A rotating sleeve column is fixed at the middle position of the axis line at the top of the fixed base clamping groove. A rotating gear is fixed at the top of the rotating sleeve column. The rotating sleeve column and the rotating gear are embedded inside the fixed base. A driving motor is fixed inside the fixed base. A driving gear is fixed on the output shaft of the driving motor. The driving gear is meshed and installed with the rotating gear.
[0010] Preferably, three pressing components are arranged at the bottom of the fixed base in a circumferential array. The pressing component includes a pressing groove opened at the bottom of the fixed base. A pressing rod is installed in the pressing groove through a bearing. A pressing roller is installed at the bottom of the pressing rod through a bearing.
[0011] Preferably, the pressing component further includes a first steering gear fixed to the inner wall of one side of the pressing groove. The output shaft of the first steering gear is fixedly matched with the fixed shaft of the pressing rod.
[0012] Preferably, the tool changing claw assembly includes a fixed tool changing claw bolted at the circumferential position of the tool changing rotating seat. One end of the bottom of the fixed tool changing claw is hinged with a horizontally arranged floating tool changing claw. A first pneumatic push rod groove is opened at the top of one end of the fixed tool changing claw. A first pneumatic push rod is hingedly installed inside the first pneumatic push rod groove, and one end of the first pneumatic push rod is hinged with the top of the floating tool changing claw.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0016] In the process of taking out the tool in the tool sleeve of the drilling shaft of the tool changing and drilling device for CNC tool magazine machine tools, the tool is pushed out vertically downward. During the pushing out process after the tool is clamped and fixed, the floating tool changing claw is in a hinged state and is connected by the first pneumatic push rod. When the action of pushing out the tool in the tool sleeve of the drilling shaft occurs, the floating tool changing claw moves downward and obliquely, effectively overcoming the metal fatigue caused by the tool pushing action on the tool changing claw arm.
[0017] In the tool changing and drilling device for CNC tool magazine machine tools, when the floating tool changing claw moves downward and obliquely, the tool changing collet and the clamped tool will tilt. At this time, the second servo motor adjusts the tool changing collet to always maintain a vertical state, preventing the tool from tilting and colliding with the inner wall of the tool sleeve of the drilling shaft. The overall structural design of the tool changing claw assembly effectively prevents the damage to the tool when the tool is pressed down during tool changing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
