DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, it is described in detail through specific embodiments below.

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a tool magazine for a numerically controlled machine tool, comprising a mounting frame 1, a guard 2 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1 by bolts, a motor 3 is fixed at the top of the mounting frame 1 by bolts, the output shaft of the motor 3 runs through the middle of the mounting frame 1, and is rotatably connected with the mounting frame 1, the output shaft of the motor 3 extends into the guard 2, and a cutter disc 4 is installed at the end of the output shaft by bolts, a cutter groove 5 is opened on the cutter disc 4, and a clamping structure 6 is provided on the cutter disc 4;

[0024] The mounting frame 1 is fixed on the CNC machine tool, and then the motor 3 is powered on and connected to the CNC machine tool. Then different CNC machine tool tools are placed in each tool groove 5. The motor 3 is controlled by the CNC machine tool. When the tool needs to be changed, the motor 3 will be driven to rotate the tool disc 4, and the tool placed in the tool groove 5 will rotate accordingly.

[0025] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The utility model provides a tool magazine for a CNC machine tool, wherein the clamping structure 6 includes a fixed seat 61, the fixed seat 61 is fixed to the top surface of the tool disc 4 by bolts, and the lower end of the fixed seat 61 is equipped with a rotating clamping arm 62 that is rotatably connected, and one end of the rotating clamping arm 62 extends out of the fixed seat 61, and a tooth opening 621 is opened in the rotating clamping arm 62, and the connecting tooth 63 is stuck in the tooth opening 621, so that the connecting tooth 63 will not rotate in the rotating clamping arm 62, and the rack 64 engaged with the connecting tooth 63 is integrally formed on the side of the push rod 65, and the push rod 65 is arranged in the middle of the fixed seat 61, and the push rod 65 is connected to the fixed seat 61 in a horizontal forward and backward sliding manner. The lower end of the push rod 65 is provided with a sliding groove 651, and the sliding groove 651 slides along the surface of the positioning block 652 arranged on the inner wall of the bottom end of the fixed seat 61 through the sliding of the push rod 65. When the rotating clamping arm 62 is in the clamping state, the positioning block 652 is located in the sliding groove 651. The end of the end can prevent the rack 64 from separating from the connecting tooth 63, and the positioning block 652 can maintain the sliding stability of the push rod 65. A push block 66 that fits the inner walls of the two sides of the fixed seat 61 is integrally formed on the top surface of the push rod 65. The push block 66 will slide along the inner wall of the fixed seat 61 through the sliding of the push rod 65. Two torsion springs 67 are installed at the upper end of the fixed seat 61. One end of the two torsion springs 67 is connected to the front end surface of the push block 66. The end of the torsion spring 67 connected to the push block 66 will be stuck in the bayonet 661 set on the front end surface of the push block 66, so that when the push block 66 slides, the end of the torsion spring 67 will not move up and down. A fixing plate 68 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 1 by bolts. The fixing plate 68 corresponds to the tool changing position of the cutter disc 4, and a reinforcing plate 681 is integrally formed inside the fixing plate 68. The reinforcing plate 681 reinforces the middle part of the fixing plate 68, effectively preventing the middle part of the fixing plate 68 from being concave.

[0026] When one of the knife grooves 5 rotates to the tool changing position, the fixed seat 61 on the knife groove 5 will rotate with the rotation of the knife disc 4, and then move along the surface of the fixed plate 68. At this time, the push rod 65 is forced to be pressed into the inside of the fixed seat 61, and slides along the inner wall of the fixed seat 61, and at the same time drives the rack 64 to move. Since the rack 64 is meshed with the connecting tooth 63, the push rod 65 will push the rack 64 when it moves to rotate the connecting tooth 63, and drive the rotating clamp arm 62 to rotate and expand. When the push rod 65 slides, it will also drive the push block 66 to push the torsion spring 67. The torsion spring 67 is deformed under force to generate elastic force. When the tool is placed in the tool slot 5, the motor 3 will drive the tool disc 4 to rotate. The rotation of the tool disc 4 will drive the tool slot 5 at the tool changing position to rotate out of the tool changing position. At this time, the push rod 65 will slide along the surface of the fixed plate 68. When the push rod 65 slides out of the fixed plate 68, the torsion spring 67 loses its force and pushes the push block 66 to slide, causing the push rod 65 to slide to the outside of the fixed seat 61. At this time, the rack 64 will drive the connecting tooth 63 to rotate, and the rotating clamp arm 62 will clamp and fix the tool in the tool slot 5, so that after the tool is placed in the tool slot 5, the tool will not fall off, and the tool will not be unstable in the tool slot 5 due to wear and tear after long-term use.
