[0012] Preferably, a plurality of positioning grooves are formed in the surface of the first positioning plate, the positioning grooves are arranged in correspondence with the positioning blocks, and the positioning grooves and the positioning blocks are matched to fix the power head pedestal in the T-shaped groove.

[0020] 1. By setting a switchable power head, when it is necessary to switch the horizontal position of the same type of tool to the vertical position, the motor output shaft drives the power head shaft to rotate. When the power head rotates 90 degrees to switch to the vertical position, the coupling pin is pushed into the interior of the coupling pin telescopic groove by the first outer guide plate, causing the coupling block to disengage from the interior of the coupling fixing groove. At this time, the motor output shaft continues to rotate 15 degrees, driving the second inner guide plate to press the locking pin, causing the locking block to enter the interior of the second locking groove, thereby fixing the power head in the vertical position. This realizes the switching of the horizontal and vertical positions of the same type of tool, eliminating the need to install two sets of the same type of tool on the tool turret, improving the utilization rate of the tool turret, and the switching cycle is shorter, thus improving the processing efficiency.

[0021] 2. By setting multiple sets of positioning blocks and positioning slots, and fixing the positioning blocks inside different positioning slots, the position of the power headstock inside the T-slot can be changed, which facilitates fine-tuning of the tool position as needed and improves the practicality of the tool holder.

[0041] The present invention proposes a high-rigidity tool post for a composite machining lathe. In use, the power headstock 2 and the first positioning plate 21 are inserted into the T-slot 11, so that the first positioning plate 21 is located at the bottom of the second positioning plate 5. Rotating the locking screw 14 drives the pressure plate 53 to move towards the tool turret 1. The pressure plate 53 drives the second positioning plate 5 to move towards the first positioning plate 21 through the telescopic rod 52, so that the positioning block 51 is inserted into the positioning groove 22, thereby fixing the power headstock 2 inside the T-slot 11.

[0042] The cutting tool is fixedly connected to the power head 3 via the tool chuck 34. When it is necessary to switch the horizontal position of the same type of cutting tool to the vertical position, the servo motor 4 is started to drive the motor output shaft 41 to rotate. When the connecting pin telescopic groove 44 is aligned with the locking pin 33, the connecting pin 45 moves to the slope of the second outer guide plate 28, so that the connecting block 452 is inserted into the interior of the coupling fixing groove 311. At this time, the motor output shaft 41 drives the power head rotating shaft 31 to rotate through the connecting block 452. When the power head 3 rotates 90 degrees to switch to the vertical position, the connecting pin 45 is... The first outer guide plate 27 pushes into the interior of the coupling pin telescopic groove 44, causing the coupling block 452 to disengage from the interior of the coupling fixing groove 311. At this time, the motor output shaft 41 continues to rotate 15 degrees, driving the second inner guide plate 43 to press the locking pin 33, causing the locking block 331 to enter the interior of the second locking groove 262, thereby fixing the power head 3 in the longitudinal position, realizing the switching of the transverse and longitudinal positions of the same type of tool, eliminating the need to install two sets of the same type of tool on the tool turret 1, improving the utilization rate of the tool turret 1, and the switching formation is shorter, thus improving the processing efficiency.

[0043] As a further improvement of the present invention, by setting multiple sets of positioning blocks 51 and positioning grooves 22, and fixing the positioning blocks 51 inside different positioning grooves 22, the position of the power head support 2 inside the T-shaped groove 11 can be changed, which facilitates the fine adjustment of the tool position as needed and improves the practicality of the tool holder.

[0044] Working Principle: The high-rigidity tool post of the composite machining lathe proposed in this invention, during use, inserts the power head pedestal 2 and the first positioning plate 21 into the T-slot 11, so that the first positioning plate 21 is located at the bottom of the second positioning plate 5. Rotating the locking screw 14 drives the pressure plate 53 to move towards the tool turret 1. The pressure plate 53, through the telescopic rod 52, drives the second positioning plate 5 to move towards the first positioning plate 21, so that the positioning block 51 is inserted into the positioning groove 22, thereby fixing the power head pedestal 2 inside the T-slot 11. The tool is fixedly connected to the power head 3 through the tool chuck 34. When it is necessary to switch the horizontal position of the same type of tool to the vertical position, the servo motor 4 is started to drive the motor output shaft 41 to rotate. When the connecting pin extends... When the groove 44 is aligned with the locking pin 33, the coupling pin 45 moves to the slope of the second outer guide plate 28, so that the coupling block 452 is inserted into the inside of the coupling fixing groove 311. At this time, the motor output shaft 41 drives the power head shaft 31 to rotate through the coupling block 452. When the power head 3 rotates 90 degrees to switch to the longitudinal position, the coupling pin 45 is pushed into the inside of the coupling pin telescopic groove 44 by the first outer guide plate 27, so that the coupling block 452 is disengaged from the inside of the coupling fixing groove 311. At this time, the motor output shaft 41 continues to rotate 15 degrees, driving the second inner guide plate 43 to squeeze the locking pin 33, so that the locking block 331 enters the inside of the second locking groove 262, thereby fixing the power head 3 in the longitudinal position and realizing the switching of the transverse and longitudinal positions of the same type of tool.
