Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tool magazines in mechanical processing centers, in particular to an umbrella-shaped tool magazine without a mechanical arm for preventing tools from falling off. Background Art
[0002] The tool magazine system is a device that provides tool storage and tool change requirements in the automated processing process. Its automatic tool change mechanism and tool magazine that can store multiple tools have changed the traditional human-centered production method. Through the control of computer programs, various processing requirements can be completed, such as milling, drilling, boring, tapping, etc., which greatly shortens the processing schedule and reduces production costs. This is the biggest feature of the tool magazine system.
[0003] The tool magazine system is an important part of the machining center. It mainly transfers the tools required for machining from the tool magazine to the spindle clamping mechanism. The structural characteristics of the tool clamping element and its connection method with the machine tool spindle will directly affect the machining performance of the machine tool. The tool magazine structure and the working method of the tool exchange device will affect the tool change efficiency of the machine tool. The complexity of the tool change system itself and related structures will have a direct impact on the cost of the whole machine. The cam plus tool arm tool change mechanism is widely used in the automatic tool change system of the machining center.
[0004] Due to the space limitation of machine tools, the tool magazine needs to be installed in a smaller space. However, the existing tool magazine is too large to be installed in a machine tool with a smaller space. Therefore, we propose an umbrella-shaped tool magazine without a robot arm to prevent the tool from falling. Utility Model Content

At the same time, the original knife arm type tool changing mechanism is removed, and the tool magazine is installed vertically to the spindle 7, and the spindle 7 tool 8 is directly clamped into the spring knife claw clamping mechanism to complete the tool changing action, which effectively and greatly reduces the external dimensions of the tool magazine. When the cutter disc 2 rotates, a knife claw stop mechanism 6 is designed to prevent the tool from falling off in view of the risk of heavy tools 8 falling off due to the spring knife claw clamping structure, thereby avoiding the problem that the tool magazine needs to be installed in a smaller space due to space limitations of the machine tool, but the existing tool magazine is large in size and cannot be installed in a machine tool with a smaller space.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figure 1-7As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a main shaft 7 is provided on the right side of the cutter disc 2, and a tool 8 is provided at the bottom of the main shaft 7. The cutter 8 is used in conjunction with a spring knife claw clamp structure 3, and the spring knife claw clamp structure 3 can directly clamp and fix the tool 8. The reducer 4 is connected to the cutter disc rotation drive motor 5 by transmission, the inner ring of the reducer 4 is fixed to the tool magazine mounting seat 1, and the drive motor is installed on the inner ring of the reducer 4. The outer ring of the high-precision reducer 4 is accurately controlled to rotate by the drive motor, and the cutter disc 2 is fixed to the outer ring of the reducer 4, which can drive the cutter disc 2 to rotate. The knife claw stopping mechanism 6 is connected to the spring knife claw clamp structure 3 through a stopping pin 604, and the cutter disc 2 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reducer 4.
[0035] The working process of the utility model is as follows: when using an umbrella-shaped tool magazine without a mechanical arm to prevent the knife from falling, first, the spring knife claw clamping mechanism is fixed to the knife disc 2, the knife disc 2 is fixed to the outer ring of the reducer 4, the knife claw stopping mechanism 6 is fixed to the inner ring of the reducer 4, the inner ring of the reducer 4 is fixed to the tool magazine mounting seat 1, the driving motor is installed on the inner ring of the reducer 4, the servo motor accurately controls the rotation of the high-precision reducer 4 outer ring, the reducer 4 outer ring drives the knife disc 2 to rotate, and the other parts are fixed, so as to ensure the positioning accuracy of the rotation of the knife disc 2, the tool 8 is clamped and fixed by the spring knife claw clamping mechanism, the knife claw spring 303 controls the clamping claw 301 to maintain the inner clamping state, the clamping claw 301 opens automatically when force is applied, and the tool 8 and the clamping claw 301 are in a horizontal state. When the tool disc 2 stops changing, the stop cylinder 602 is retracted to disengage the stop pin 604 from the clamping claw 301, and the clamping claw 301 resumes its rotatable state. At this time, the tool 8 can be directly clamped horizontally by the clamping claw 301 by controlling the stop cylinder 602 to extend. The stop spring 603 causes the stop pin 604 to be inserted into the upper limit hole of the clamping claw 301, so that the clamping claw 301 cannot be opened even after being stressed, thereby making the clamping claw 301 firmly clamp the tool 8, thereby eliminating the risk of heavy tools 8 falling off due to excessive inertia during the rotation of the cutter disc 2. When the cutter disc 2 stops changing, the stop cylinder 602 is retracted to disengage the stop pin 604 from the clamping claw 301, and the clamping claw 301 resumes its rotatable state. At this time, the tool 8 can be directly pulled out horizontally by the spindle 7.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
