A steel ball locking type tool changing mechanism
By using a ball-locking tool changer mechanism, which utilizes the cooperation between the ball and the V-groove of the pull stud and the pneumatic piston drive, the problems of locking reliability and tool change speed of existing tool changer mechanisms are solved. This achieves reliable locking and rapid tool unloading under high-speed rotation, thereby improving the machining efficiency and safety of the machine tool.

AI Technical Summary
Existing tool changing mechanisms suffer from problems such as complex structure, insufficient locking force, slow tool changing speed, or low locking reliability. In particular, they are prone to the safety hazard of tool holder falling off during high-speed rotation.
It adopts a ball-locking tool changer mechanism, which provides locking force through the cooperation of the ball and the V-groove of the pull stud and the extrusion of the tapered surface. Combined with the pneumatic piston to drive the tool unloading, it achieves fast response and reliable locking. The structure is compactly designed and integrated inside the spindle.
It provides reliable locking during high-speed rotation, preventing tool holder loosening or falling off, shortening tool change time, improving processing efficiency, and enhancing equipment safety and service life through a real-time detection mechanism.
