A tool magazine device for machine tool tool changing and a method for changing tools. Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machine tool processing technology, specifically to a tool magazine device for changing machine tools and a method for changing cutting tools. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of machine tool processing, the storage, transfer, and rapid replacement of cutting tools directly affect processing efficiency and accuracy. Existing machine tool tool magazine devices often suffer from loose structures and poor coordination among various functional components. Traditional tool magazines typically only have simple tool storage racks and a single transfer structure, lacking dedicated power transmission components and precise clamping and transfer mechanisms. This results in disorganized tool storage, easy misalignment during transfer, difficulty for robotic arms to quickly and accurately acquire matching tools, cumbersome tool changing processes, and seriously affects the continuity of machine tool processing.

[0003] Meanwhile, the existing tool magazine devices lack a unified installation and support foundation for their various functional modules, resulting in insufficient connection stability with the machine tool. Furthermore, the tool transmission and the robotic arm's tool changing action are not smoothly coordinated, leading to significant power transmission losses. This makes it impossible to efficiently transfer the specified type of tool to the tool changing station, resulting in low tool changing efficiency and insufficient positioning accuracy, which makes it difficult to meet the high-precision and high-efficiency machining requirements of the machine tool.
