All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] See also Figures 1 to 7 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a horizontal hydraulic tool holder, comprising a body 4 and an electrical control system; The rear end of the body 4 is equipped with a rear cover 10, and the main shaft 6 is rotatably connected inside the body 4. The front end of the main shaft 6 is fixedly installed with a movable gear disc 1. A fixed gear disc 2 is provided on one side of the movable gear disc 1. A double gear disc 3 is provided on one side of the movable gear disc 1 and the fixed gear disc 2. The movable stroke of the double gear disc 3 is about 6 mm, so that it can engage and separate with the fixed gear disc 2 and the movable gear disc 1. The fixed gear disc 2 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the body 4. The fixed gear disc 2 and the movable gear disc 1 are matched with the double gear disc 3, so that the double gear disc 3 can be used to engage with the fixed gear disc 2 and the movable gear disc 1, so that the movable gear disc 1 can be locked. A sending rod 5 is installed on one side of the double gear disc 3. The main shaft 6 is connected to the camshaft 8 through the gear 7. The end of the camshaft 8 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic motor 14. The model of the hydraulic motor 14 is set to BMR- 100 or BMR-250, two models of hydraulic motor 14 are adapted for different product models. A coarse locating pin 13 is installed inside the body 4, and a first throttle valve 15 is installed on one side of the coarse locating pin 13. The body 4 is mounted with an oil distribution block 16, and the oil distribution block 16 is mounted with a second throttle valve 19, a brake release solenoid valve 17 (YV1 in the figure), and an indexing solenoid valve 18 (YV2 in the figure). The hydraulic motor 14 is fixedly mounted on the body 4 and connected to the indexing solenoid valve 18 so that the indexing solenoid valve 18 can be used to control the forward or reverse rotation of the hydraulic motor 14. The voltage of the brake release solenoid valve 17 and the indexing solenoid valve 18 is set to DC24V, the operating range is set to 21.6-26.4V, the power is set to 26W, and the holding current is set to 1.1A; The electrical control system includes a release and brake detection module, a work position detection module and a solenoid valve action control module. The release and brake detection module includes a release sensor 12 and a brake sensor 11. The brake sensor 11 is set as a locking proximity switch. The power supply of the brake sensor 11 is set to DC 24V and the driving capacity is set to 300mA. The release sensor 12 is set as a release proximity switch. The power supply of the release sensor 12 is set to DC 24V and the driving capacity is set to 300mA. The work position detection module includes an encoder 9. The encoder 9 is fixedly mounted on one side of the rear cover 10 and the encoder 9 is connected to the main shaft 6, so that the rotation angle of the main shaft 6 can be obtained by using the encoder 9, thereby the rotation angle of the cutter head can be obtained, and the work position can be obtained. The encoder 9 is set as a binary absolute encoder. The power supply of the encoder 9 is set to DC 24V and the load capacity is set to 50mA. The release and brake detection module is used to detect the release and brake status of the cutter disc; The workstation detection module is used to detect the rotation angle of the cutter head; The solenoid valve action control module is used to control the action of the solenoid valve.

[0018] The following table is the truth table of encoder 9.

[0019]

[0020] The operating signal waveform diagram shows the sequence followed by the tool holder from position 2 to position 11 in the clockwise direction.

[0021] In addition, the present invention has a hydraulic oil interface with a size of Z3 / 8, and the requirements for the hydraulic oil include: (1) oil filtration accuracy ≤ 20μm; (2) oil viscosity 32-46mm2 / s; (3) oil temperature 35-55℃, which can reduce the adverse effects of oil contamination on hydraulic components such as hydraulic valves and motors.

[0022] When in use, the hydraulic motor 14 drives the camshaft 8 to rotate, and the rotation of the camshaft 8 drives the main shaft 6 to rotate through the gear 7, and the rotation of the main shaft 6 drives the cutter disc to rotate. The main control system sends an indexing command, passes the hydraulic oil, and the brake and release solenoid valve 17 is energized. The solenoid valve is switched to the left position, and the coarse positioning pin 13 is pulled out. At the same time, the hydraulic oil enters the tool holder release chamber, and the double gear disc 3 is disengaged. After disengaging in place, the release sensor 12 sends a signal. After a delay of 200ms, the indexing solenoid valve 18 is energized. According to the principle of selecting the tool nearby, the indexing solenoid valve 18 controls the hydraulic motor 14 to rotate forward or reverse. When the tool table rotates to the previous station of the required station, the encoder 9 sends a signal, the brake and release solenoid valve 17 loses power and switches to the right position, and the hydraulic oil enters the upper part of the coarse positioning pin 13. The pressure difference causes the coarse positioning pin 13 to fall slowly. At the same time, the first throttle valve 15 on the coarse positioning pin 13 throttles the oil circuit of the motor, reducing the rotation speed of the hydraulic motor 14. At the same time, the hydraulic oil enters the tool holder brake chamber, the double gear disc 3 engages with the movable gear disc 1 and the fixed gear disc 2, the tool holder is locked, and the brake sensor 11 sends a signal. After a delay of 100ms, the indexing solenoid valve 18 loses power and switches to the middle position. The indexing is completed, and the encoder 9 signal is confirmed to be consistent with the required work position. The host starts working. This product has a simple structure, high rigidity, and high reliability. It is suitable for connection to various CNC systems. It has a simple interface and can select the tool nearby. The hydraulic locking force is large and suitable for heavy cutting, which effectively improves the processing capacity and processing efficiency of the machine tool.
