Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tool changer technology, specifically a chain-driven tool changer structure. Background Technology

[0002] During the use of equipment such as horizontal machining centers, it is necessary to change the cutting tools to adapt to different machining needs. In order to avoid the cutting tools being contaminated by the machining environment, the cutting tools are usually isolated in a separate space through the tool changing door to ensure the effective storage of the cutting tools.

[0003] Some existing tool changers on the market are typically driven by sprockets, which can withstand frequent starts and stops and high-speed movements, making them suitable for large machine tools or high-load scenarios that require frequent tool changes. However, the lubricating oil applied to the surface of the chain and sprocket will gradually dry out during long-term use, which will increase the wear between the chain and sprocket. Due to the space limitations of the tool changer structure, lubrication may be difficult, which can easily lead to untimely lubrication and reduce the service life of the chain and sprocket.

[0004] Combining the above issues, we find that the existing tool changer structures on the market are difficult to avoid all the problems mentioned above when in use. Even if they can be solved, they require the use of external tools, which makes it impossible to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, we propose a sprocket-driven tool changer structure.

The recycling box and the oil supply seat are at the same vertical position.

[0011] Preferably, a diversion plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the recycling box, the diversion plate is inclined as a whole, and the diversion plate is made of silicone.

[0012] Preferably, the inner cavity of the second toothed plate is provided with a movable groove, and the inner cavity of the movable groove is slidably connected to the surfaces of the support frame and the first toothed plate, respectively.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the second toothed plate is provided with a movable groove, and a connecting plate is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the movable groove. One side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning rod is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the movable groove, and the surface of the positioning rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting plate.

[0015] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a fixed bracket, a guide seat, a sensing plate, and a second slider. The surfaces of the fixed bracket and the guide seat are fixedly connected to one side of the frame. One side of the sensing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention, by setting up an oiling assembly, uses a drive motor to rotate a gear, which in turn moves a first toothed plate, which in turn moves a support frame, which in turn moves an oil storage box, which in turn moves an oil delivery seat, which is then moved to one side of the chain. Finally, a nozzle sprays the lubricating oil from inside the oil storage box onto the surface of the chain, thus completing the lubrication and maintenance of the chain surface.

[0017] 2. This invention, by setting up a recycling component, uses the rotation of gears to synchronously drive the second toothed plate to move, and the movement of the second toothed plate to drive the recycling box to move. This allows the recycling box to be moved synchronously to the bottom of the oil supply seat. Thus, when the nozzle sprays oil to lubricate the chain surface, the lubricating oil that is not attached to the chain surface can be recycled, preventing this part of the lubricating oil from adhering to the surface of other parts and reducing pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0018] 3. This invention provides a guiding mechanism that guides the movement of the main body via a first slider and a second slider, ensuring that the main body moves horizontally and improving stability during movement. The inductive switch detects the position of the inductive sheet fixed on the surface of the main body, thus ensuring that the main body reaches the designated position during movement and determining whether the main body is switched on or off.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a sprocket-driven tool changer structure, including a tool changer assembly 1, the tool changer assembly 1 including a frame 11, a driven wheel housing 13 and a driven wheel housing 14 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 11, a servo motor 17 installed on one side of the driven wheel housing 14, a transmission sprocket 15 installed on one side of both the driven wheel housing 13 and the driven wheel housing 14, a positioning key 18 installed in the inner cavity of the transmission sprocket 15, a chain 16 meshing with the surfaces of both transmission sprockets 15, a connecting block 19 fixedly connected to the surface of the chain 16, a main body 12 fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 19, and a lubrication mechanism 2 installed on the surface of the frame 11; The lubrication mechanism 2 includes an oiling assembly 21, which is located on the top of the frame 11 and is used to lubricate the surface of the chain 16.

[0023] As a further definition of the oiling assembly 21 of the present invention, the oiling assembly 21 includes a fixed base 2108, one side of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 11. A drive motor 2109 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the fixed base 2108. A gear 2111 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 2109. A first toothed plate 2110 is meshed with the surface of the gear 2111. A support frame 2101 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first toothed plate 2110. An oil storage box 2105 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame 2101. An oil inlet 2104 is connected to the top of the oil storage box 2105. An oil delivery seat 2106 is connected to the bottom of the oil storage box 2105. A nozzle 2107 is connected to the inner cavity of the oil delivery seat 2106. The oiling assembly 2105 is driven by a drive motor. The motor 2109 drives the gear 2111 to rotate, which in turn drives the first toothed plate 2110 to move up and down. The movement of the first toothed plate 2110 drives the support frame 2101 to move, which in turn drives the oil storage box 2105 to move, which in turn drives the oil supply seat 2106 to move, which in turn drives the nozzle 2107 to move. Thus, when the chain 16 needs lubrication, the nozzle 2107 can be brought close to the chain 16 for lubrication, and when lubrication is not needed, the nozzle 2107 can be moved away from the chain 16 to avoid affecting the normal use of the chain 16. The inner cavity of the support frame 2101 is slidably connected to a guide rod 2102. One end of the guide rod 2102 is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 11. The guide rod 2102 guides the movement of the support frame 2101, keeps the support frame 2101 vertical, avoids the position of the support frame 2101 from shifting during the movement, and improves the movement stability of the support frame 2101. The other end of the guide rod 2102 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 2103. One side of the limiting plate 2103 is in contact with the surface of the support frame 2101. By setting the limiting plate 2103, the movement distance of the support frame 2101 is limited to prevent the support frame 2101 from moving too far, causing the support frame 2101 to detach from the surface of the guide rod 2102 and affecting the subsequent normal reset of the support frame 2101.

[0024] The specific implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to lubricate the chain 16, the drive motor 2109 first drives the gear 2111 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 2111 drives the first toothed plate 2110 to move. The movement of the first toothed plate 2110 drives the support frame 2101 to move. The movement of the support frame 2101 drives the oil storage box 2105 to move. The movement of the oil storage box 2105 drives the oil delivery seat 2106 to move. The oil delivery seat 2106 is moved to one side of the chain 16. Finally, the spray nozzle 2107 sprays the lubricating oil inside the oil storage box 2105 onto the surface of the chain 16, thus completing the lubrication and maintenance of the surface of the chain 16. During the rotation of the chain 16 in use, it is ensured that the chain 16 in contact with the transmission sprocket 15 can be lubricated at multiple positions.

[0025] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a sprocket-driven tool changer structure. The present invention makes corresponding improvements to the technical problems mentioned in the background art. The lubrication mechanism 2 also includes a recovery component 22, which is disposed on one side of the oiling component 21. The recovery component 22 is used to recover excess lubricating oil.

[0026] As a further definition of the recycling component 22 of the present invention, the recycling component 22 includes a support plate 2203. One side of the support plate 2203 is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 11. A second toothed plate 2204 is slidably connected to the top of the support plate 2203. One side of the second toothed plate 2204 is meshed with the surface of the gear 2111. A recycling box 2201 is fixedly connected to one side of the second toothed plate 2204. The recycling box 2201 and the oil supply seat 2106 are at the same vertical position. Through the setting of the second toothed plate 2204, it can move synchronously during the rotation of the gear 2111. The movement of the second toothed plate 2204 can drive the recycling box 2201 to move, and thus it can move synchronously with the oil supply seat 2106 to the vicinity of the chain 16, ensuring synchronous recycling during the lubrication process and reducing pollution to the surrounding environment. A guide plate 2202 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the recycling box 2201. The guide plate 2202 is inclined and made of silicone. The guide plate 2202 guides the lubricating oil entering the recycling box 2201, ensuring that the lubricating oil can fall accurately into the recycling box 2201 and avoid the lubricating oil splashing to the surroundings. The guide plate 2202 made of silicone has low surface energy characteristics and a large contact angle with the lubricating oil, so the oil droplets are not easy to spread, thereby reducing the adhesion area and reducing oil film residue. The inner cavity of the second toothed plate 2204 is provided with a movable groove 2208. The inner cavity of the movable groove 2208 is slidably connected to the surfaces of the support frame 2101 and the first toothed plate 2110 respectively. By setting the movable groove 2208, the surface of the second toothed plate 2204 can slide on the surfaces of the support frame 2101 and the first toothed plate 2110, thereby avoiding the second toothed plate 2204 from colliding with the support frame 2101 and the first toothed plate 2110 during the movement. The surface of the second toothed plate 2204 is provided with a moving groove 2206. A connecting plate 2205 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the moving groove 2206. One side of the connecting plate 2205 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 2203. By setting the moving groove 2206, the surface of the connecting plate 2205 can slide inside the second toothed plate 2204, thereby guiding the movement of the second toothed plate 2204 and improving the stability of the second toothed plate 2204 during the movement process. A positioning rod 2207 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the moving groove 2206. The surface of the positioning rod 2207 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting plate 2205. The positioning rod 2207 limits the movement of the connecting plate 2205, preventing the surface of the support plate 2203 from disengaging during the movement of the second toothed plate 2204, and ensuring stable meshing between the second toothed plate 2204 and the gear 2111.

[0027] The specific implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: During the movement of the oil supply seat 2106, the rotation of the gear 2111 synchronously drives the second toothed plate 2204 to move. The movement of the second toothed plate 2204 drives the recovery box 2201 to move, thereby synchronously moving the recovery box 2201 to the bottom of the oil supply seat 2106. Thus, when the nozzle 2107 sprays oil to lubricate the surface of the chain 16, the lubricating oil that is not attached to the surface of the chain 16 can be recovered, avoiding this part of the lubricating oil from adhering to the surface of other components and reducing pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0028] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a chain-driven tool changer structure. The present invention makes corresponding improvements to the technical problems mentioned in the background art. A guide mechanism 3 is installed on the surface of the frame 11, and the guide mechanism 3 is used to guide the movement of the main body 12.

[0029] As a further definition of the guiding mechanism 3 of the present invention, the guiding mechanism 3 includes a fixed bracket 31, a guide seat 32, a sensing plate 35, and a second slider 37. The surfaces of the fixed bracket 31 and the guide seat 32 are fixedly connected to one side of the frame 11. One side of the sensing plate 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body 12. The surface of the second slider 37 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the main body 12. A sensor switch 34 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the fixed bracket 31. The sensor switch 34 works in conjunction with the sensing plate 35. A guide groove 33 is provided in the inner cavity of the guide seat 32. A first slider 36 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide groove 33. One side of the first slider 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body 12. One side of the two sliders 37 is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 11. Both the first slider 36 and the second slider 37 are made of nylon. The first slider 36 can slide inside the guide groove 33 through the setting of the guide groove 33. The second slider 37 can slide inside the main body 12 through the setting of the guide groove 33. The cooperation of the first slider 36 and the second slider 37 can ensure that the main body 12 moves synchronously up and down, and improve the stability of the main body 12 when it moves. The position of the main body 12 is marked by the setting of the sensing plate 35. When used in conjunction with the sensing switch 34, the position of the main body 12 can be identified, and the stable switching of the main body 12 can be ensured.

[0030] The specific implementation of this embodiment is as follows: During the movement of the main body 12, the movement of the main body 12 is guided by the first slider 36 and the second slider 37 to ensure that the main body 12 moves horizontally and improve the stability of the main body 12 during the movement. By setting the inductive switch 34, the position of the inductive sheet 35 fixed on the surface of the main body 12 can be detected, thereby ensuring whether the main body 12 has reached the specified position during the movement, so as to determine whether the main body 12 has been switched on or off.

[0031] It should be noted that parts have a lifespan and can be replaced during regular maintenance when they no longer meet performance requirements. Deterioration in performance due to prolonged use of parts is not a design defect of this application.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
