AI Technical Summary
The tool change system of the existing three-axis drilling machine needs to overcome the resistance of the elastic claws, resulting in a slow tool change speed. It requires emergency stop and instant start every time the tool change is changed, which increases the wear of the knife claw components and shortens the service life of the tool change system.
The tool change structure of a robotic tool magazine is adopted, and the tool change robot is formed by a tool replacing mechanism, a guide rail bracket, a telescopic arm mechanism and a rotary actuator.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drilling and tapping machines, and particularly to a three-axis drilling and tapping machine using a mechanical hand tool magazine for tool change. Background Art
[0002] A drilling and tapping center is a machine tool for cutting metals, usually also called a "drilling, milling and tapping center", which is derived from a traditional metal cutting machine tool - a vertical machining center. Its floor area and machining stroke are smaller than those of the traditional vertical machining center. It is mainly used for machining light and small metals and is not suitable for heavy cutting. It is usually equipped with a clamping arm tool magazine or a servo tool magazine.
[0003] The tool change system of a three-axis drilling and tapping machine realizes the tool change requirements for continuous machining of the three-axis drilling and tapping machine between part processes, that is, after each process is completed, a new tool used in the next process is automatically replaced onto the main shaft, which is generally completed through the coordinated actions of a mechanical hand, a tool magazine and the machine tool main shaft. At present, the traditional tool change system uses elastic tool claws to realize the grasping action of the tool. During the tool change action, external force is required to overcome the elastic resistance in the tool claws, and after the tool is grasped, it needs to rotate and move to reach the tool change position. At present, in order to improve the tool change speed, the movement speed of the tool change system is fast, and each time the position is changed, it needs to go through an emergency stop and an instant start. The elastic tool claws need to bear the inertia during the movement and pause in the tool change system, increasing the wear of the components in the elastic tool claws and shortening the service life of the tool change system.

Detailed implementation manners
[0019] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
[0020] Refer to Figures 1-10, A three-axis drilling and tapping machine using a mechanical hand tool magazine for tool change, comprising a mounting base 1. At the top of the mounting base 1, two moving tracks 13 and a machining table 12 are provided. A gantry frame 14 is installed between the two moving tracks 13. A machine head bracket 15 is installed on the side of the gantry frame 14 through an electric guide rail. A drilling and tapping machine head 16 is slidably installed in the middle of the machine head bracket 15. A support frame 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base 1. At one side of the top of the support frame 5, a rotary actuator motor 8 is fixedly installed. The end of the output shaft of the rotary actuator motor 8 is installed with a telescopic arm mechanism 7. The other end of the telescopic arm mechanism 7 is installed with a guide rail bracket 6. A tool picking mechanism 11 moving left and right is installed on one side of one end of the guide rail bracket 6. A first tool bracket 10 is installed on the other side of one end of the guide rail bracket 6. The first tool bracket 10 is driven to open and close by the tool picking mechanism 11. A second tool bracket 9 is installed on the other side of the other end of the guide rail bracket 6. A tool magazine mounting frame 4 is installed at one end of the top of the mounting base 1. A chain-type tool magazine 2 is installed on the side of the tool magazine mounting frame 4.
[0021] In the present invention, the tool picking mechanism 11, the guide rail bracket 6, the telescopic arm mechanism 7 and the rotary actuator motor 8 constitute a tool changing manipulator structure. First tool brackets 10 and second tool brackets 9 are respectively arranged at both ends of the tool picking mechanism 11. When the tool picking mechanism 11 grabs a tool in the tool magazine, the tool is clamped and fixed by the first tool brackets 10 and the second tool brackets 9. The first tool brackets 10 and the second tool brackets 9 are used to bear the acting force generated when the tool moves. In application, the front clamping claws of the tool picking mechanism 11 are in an open state before tool picking. When picking a tool, the tool picking mechanism 11 moves horizontally on the guide rail bracket 6 and directly clamps the middle part of the tool shank. The telescopic arm mechanism 7 drives the tool picking mechanism 11 and the guide rail bracket 6 to move forward to pull out the tool from the chain-type tool magazine 2; After that, the tool picking mechanism 11 moves along the guide rail bracket 6 towards the telescopic arm mechanism 7. When the tool picking mechanism 11 moves, it drives the first tool bracket 10 to close, and the first tool bracket 10 is used to clamp and fix the tool grabbed by the tool picking mechanism 11; Or after the tool picking mechanism 11 rotates half a circle, the tool picking mechanism 11 moves along the guide rail bracket 6 towards the telescopic arm mechanism 7. One end of the tool picked by the tool picking mechanism 11 moves to the middle of the second tool bracket 9, and the second tool bracket 9 is used to clamp and fix the picked tool; When changing the tool, the rotating execution motor 8 drives the tool taking mechanism 11, the guide rail bracket 6, and the telescopic arm mechanism 7 to rotate clockwise by 270°. At this time, the telescopic arm mechanism 7 is in a vertical state, and the tool taking mechanism 11 is located on the side of the drilling and tapping head 16. The empty end of the tool taking mechanism 11 moves along the guide rail bracket 6 towards the drilling and tapping head 16. The front clamping jaw of the tool taking mechanism 11 is sleeved outside the tool of the drilling and tapping head 16. After pulling out the old tool from the drilling and tapping head 16, the tool taking mechanism 11 rotates half a circle, inserts the new tool into the drilling and tapping head 16, and completes the tool changing operation. When the tool changing manipulator moves, the bearing stress at the end of the tool taking mechanism 11 is reduced, thereby reducing the damage rate of the clamping jaw part of the tool taking mechanism 11, and effectively improving the stability during the tool changing operation.
[0022] As a further scheme in the present invention, the telescopic arm mechanism 7 includes a swing arm bracket 71 fixedly connected to the guide rail bracket 6, and a bearing bracket 74 connected to the end of the output shaft of the rotating execution motor 8. A telescopic cylinder 73 is installed between the swing arm bracket 71 and the bearing bracket 74, and a limiting tube 72 is sleeved outside the telescopic cylinder 73. In the present invention, the telescopic arm mechanism 7 realizes telescopic movement through the telescopic cylinder 73 inside the limiting tube 72. At the same time, the setting of the limiting tube 72 maintains the axial stability of the telescopic arm mechanism 7 and avoids rotational offset between the swing arm bracket 71 and the bearing bracket 74 when the telescopic arm mechanism 7 moves.
[0023] As a further scheme in the present invention, the guide rail bracket 6 includes a bracket end 61 with a U-shaped structure and a guiding end 62 inserted into the inside of the tool taking mechanism 11. An installation groove 63 for cooperating with the second tool bracket 9 is arranged inside the bracket end 61, and a rack portion for driving cooperation with the tool taking mechanism 11 is arranged on the side of the guiding end 62. In the present invention, the tool taking mechanism 11 moves back and forth on the guiding end 62. When the tool taking mechanism 11 moves to the middle position of the guiding end 62, the first tool bracket 10 is in an open state. At this time, the tool taking mechanism 11 can rotate freely. When the tool taking mechanism 11 moves to the side of the bracket end 61, the first tool bracket 10 is in a closed state. At this time, the other end of the tool taking mechanism 11 is located at the middle right side position of the bracket end 61, and the tool grabbed by the tool taking mechanism 11 is located in the central area of the second tool bracket 9.
[0024] As a further scheme in the present invention, the tool taking mechanism 11 includes a driving seat 111 sleeved outside the guiding end 62, and a motor and a gear for transmission cooperation with the rack portion are arranged inside the driving seat 111. A rotating motor 112 is installed on the side of the driving seat 111, and a tool taking bracket 113 is installed at the end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 112. A clamping jaw assembly is installed at the end of the tool taking bracket 113. In the present invention, the motor and the gear in the driving seat 111 drive the tool taking mechanism 11 to move back and forth along the outside of the guiding end 62, and the rotating motor 112 drives the tool taking bracket 113 and the clamping jaw assembly to change positions.
[0025] As a further solution in the present invention, the jaw assembly includes two jaws 114 rotatably mounted at the end of the tool picking bracket 113. The front ends of the two jaws 114 are in a C-shaped structure, and the rear ends of the two jaws 114 are distributed in a Y-shaped structure. The jaw assembly further includes a clamping cylinder 115 installed inside the tool picking bracket 113. A Y-shaped linkage block 116 is installed at the front end position of the clamping cylinder 115. The two sides of the linkage block 116 are slidably connected to the inclined surfaces at the rear ends of the two jaws 114. In the present invention, when the clamping cylinder 115 drives the linkage block 116 to move backward, the linkage block 116 pulls the rear ends of the two jaws 114 toward the middle, thereby causing the jaws 114 to open. When the tool is inserted between the two jaws 114, the clamping cylinder 115 drives the linkage block 116 to move forward, and the linkage block 116 is pushed into the gap between the two jaws 114 to close and position the jaws 114, thereby improving the stability of the jaws 114 for grasping.
[0026] As a further solution in the present invention, the first tool bracket 10 includes two pull rods 103 installed at the guiding end 62 through torsion spring shafts. The outer ends of the pull rods 103 are hinged with bracket connecting rods. A first bracket 101 is provided at the front end position of the bracket connecting rod. The first tool bracket 10 further includes a rectangular groove 105 provided on the other side of the driving seat 111. A pull block 104 is installed inside the rectangular groove 105 through a push spring. The two bracket connecting rods are rotatably installed outside the pull block 104. In the present invention, when the driving seat 111 is at the middle position of the guiding end 62, the pull block 104 is at the middle position of the rectangular groove 105 under the action of the push spring and the torsion spring shaft, and the pull block 104 is not stressed. The two first brackets 101 maintain a fixed opening angle. When the driving seat 111 moves toward the tool magazine direction, after the tool is picked up, when the driving seat 111 moves toward the telescopic arm mechanism 7 direction, after the driving seat 111 passes through the middle position of the guiding end 62, the pull block 104 moves following the action of the push spring, thereby closing the two first brackets 101 toward the middle. When the driving seat 111 moves to the final position, one end of the tool picked up by the jaw assembly is wrapped between the two first brackets 101, providing a stable holding force for the tool, thereby reducing the movement load of the jaw assembly.

Multiple fan-shaped grooves are provided on the surface of the first elastic sheet 102. In the present invention, when the two first brackets 101 are closed, the multiple layers of first elastic sheets 102 surround each other. The first elastic sheet 102 deforms when contacting the outside of the tool head, wrapping the tool head part, thereby forming multiple elastic protection rings on the outside of the tool head of the tool, reducing the load borne by the jaws 114, and forming a buffer protection for the tool head when the tool picking mechanism 11 starts and stops.
[0028] As a further solution in the present invention, the second tool bracket 9 includes two second brackets 91 slidably installed at both ends of the installation groove 63, and a linkage component is arranged between the two second brackets 91, the cross-section of the second bracket 91 is an arc-shaped structure, and a plurality of layers of second elastic sheets 94 are arranged on the inner arc surface of the second bracket 91, and a plurality of fan-shaped grooves are arranged on the surface of the second elastic sheet 94. In the present invention, when the two second brackets 91 are closed, the plurality of layers of second elastic sheets 94 are surrounded, and the second elastic sheet 94 contacts the outside of the tool head and deforms, wrapping the tool head part, and then forming a plurality of layers of elastic protective rings on the outside of the tool head, reducing the load of the clamp 114, and forming a buffer protection for the tool head when the tool taking mechanism 11 is started and stopped.
[0029] As a further solution in the present invention, the linkage assembly includes a linkage rack 93 arranged on the second bracket 91, the linkage assembly also includes a linkage cylinder 95 fixedly installed on the outer side of the mounting groove 63, and a linkage gear 92 installed inside the mounting groove 63 through a torsion spring shaft. The output end of the linkage cylinder 95 is connected to one of the second brackets 91, and the linkage gear 92 is meshed and connected with the linkage rack 93 on the other second bracket 91. In the present invention, when the two second brackets 91 are in a separated state, the second bracket 91 at one end Under the torsion of the torsion spring shaft, the second bracket 91 at one end of the mounting slot 63 is restrained at the other end of the mounting slot 63 by the linkage cylinder 95. When the tool grabbed by the tool taking mechanism 11 is located at the second tool bracket 9, the axis of the tool coincides with the axis of the torsion spring shaft. The linkage cylinder 95 drives the second bracket 91 on one side to move toward the tool. Under the transmission action of the linkage gear 92 and the linkage rack 93, the second bracket 91 on the other side synchronously moves toward the tool, thereby achieving the encirclement and protection effect of the tool head.
[0030] As a further solution in the present invention, a tool protection cover 3 is also installed on the side of the tool magazine mounting frame 4, and a tool removal groove is provided on the side of the tool magazine protection cover 3.

In application, the front clamping claws of the tool picking mechanism 11 are in an open state before tool picking. When picking a tool, the tool picking mechanism 11 moves horizontally on the guide rail bracket 6 and clamps the middle position of the tool shank from the outside. The telescopic arm mechanism 7 drives the tool picking mechanism 11 and the guide rail bracket 6 to move forward, and pulls the tool out of the chain-type tool magazine 2; After that, the tool picking mechanism 11 moves along the guide rail bracket 6 towards the telescopic arm mechanism 7.
