Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical processing, in particular to a tool changing device for a numerical control processing center. Background Art
[0002] CNC machining centers can complete various processing requirements through the control of computer programs, greatly shorten the processing time and reduce production costs. During the processing of CNC machining centers, tools need to be replaced according to different operating requirements. The conical tool magazine does not require the use of a tool changing robot when changing tools. It has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, easy control and convenient maintenance. When changing tools, the spindle moves to the conical tool magazine. When the tool on the spindle enters the slot of the tool magazine, the spindle moves upward to disengage from the tool; then the tool magazine rotates, and when the tool to be replaced is aligned directly below the spindle, the spindle moves down, allowing the tool to enter the spindle taper hole. After clamping the tool, the spindle moves away to continue processing.
[0003] Announcement No. "CN220128242U" provides a tool changing device for a CNC machining center, which drives the cleaning brush to rotate along the surface of the tool through a rotating drive member, thereby achieving complete cleaning of the tool connection surface and improving the cleaning effect; the cleaning brush is driven up and down by a lifting drive member, thereby avoiding the conical tool magazine from abutting against the cleaning brush when rotating, reducing the deformation of the cleaning brush and extending the service life of the cleaning brush.
[0004] However, the above technical solutions and the prior art have the following defects:
[0005] Although the tool changing device of the CNC machining center drives the cleaning brush to rotate along the surface of the tool for cleaning through a rotating drive part, some debris will adhere to the inner wall of the cleaning brush during actual use, and the adhered debris will affect the cleaning effect of the cleaning brush. Therefore, relying solely on the rotating cleaning brush cannot effectively clean the debris and dust remaining on the tool connection surface, and its practicality is poor. Utility Model Content

A CNC machining tool 1 is placed inside the conical tool magazine body 2. Since the internal detailed structure and working principle of the conical tool magazine body 2 are relatively mature technologies in the prior art, they will not be described in detail here.
[0028] A cleaning component 4 for cleaning the connecting surface of the CNC machining tool 1 is arranged inside the protective cover 3, and an auxiliary blowing-off component 5 for blowing off debris or dust generated during the cleaning process is arranged next to the cleaning component 4, so as to further improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 4.
[0029] The cleaning assembly 4 includes a linkage plate 43, a rectangular through cavity 44, a servo motor 45, a transmission shaft 46 and a tool cleaning brush 47. The linkage plate 43 is installed inside the protective cover 3. The distance between the linkage plate 43 and the conical tool magazine body 2 is greater than the distance between the tool cleaning brush 47 and the CNC machining tool 1.

[0030] A tool cleaning brush 47 is installed at the lower end of the transmission shaft 46. The tool cleaning brush 47 matches the connecting surface of the CNC machining tool 1. When the tool cleaning brush 47 rotates, it will clean the debris or dust on the connecting surface of the CNC machining tool 1 that it contacts. The tool cleaning brush 47 is a separately detachable structure. The separately detachable tool cleaning brush 47 is convenient for replacing it separately at a later time. A rectangular through cavity 44 is opened on the front side of the upper end face of the conical tool magazine body 2.

A servo electric cylinder 41 is installed in the middle position of the upper end face of the linkage plate 43. The servo electric cylinder 41 will drive the linkage plate 43 to move up and down.
[0031] Limiting posts 42 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the linkage plate 43. The limiting posts 42 are connected to the bamboo-hat-type tool magazine body 2 by welding. The limiting posts 42 will limit and guide the linkage plate 43 to prevent the linkage plate 43 from offset or shaking during use.

[0032] Embodiment 2:
[0033] On the basis of embodiment one, in this embodiment, while the servo motor 45 drives the tool cleaning brush 47 to rotate through the transmission shaft 46, the transmission shaft 46 will drive the driven pulley 55 to rotate together through the active pulley 53 and the transmission belt 54, and the driven pulley 55 will drive the blowing fan blades 51 to rotate synchronously downward through the driven shaft 56 to blow air. At this time, the air guide plate 52 will guide a part of the wind blown downward by the blowing fan blades 51 to the tool cleaning brush 47, so as to blow off most of the debris and dust adhered to the surface of the tool cleaning brush 47 and the connecting surface of the tool cleaning brush 47, thereby effectively cleaning the connecting surface of the tool cleaning brush 47.
[0034] The auxiliary blowing-off assembly 5 includes a blowing fan blade 51, a driving pulley 53, a transmission belt 54, a driven pulley 55 and a driven shaft 56.

A follower seat 57 is provided on the upper end of the driven shaft 56, and the follower seat 57 is circular. A limit stop ring 58 is installed on the right side of the lower end surface of the linkage plate 43. The circular follower seat 57 will limit the driven shaft 56, and the limit stop ring 58 will block and limit the follower seat 57, thereby preventing the driven shaft 56 from shaking or displacement during rotation and use.

[0036] Working principle: when it is necessary to clean the debris or dust on the connecting surface of the CNC machining tool 1 inside the conical tool magazine body 2, first control the servo electric cylinder 41 to extend through the external intelligent servo driver, so that the linkage plate 43 drives the servo motor 45 to move downward together, and the servo motor 45 will drive the tool cleaning brush 47 to move downward synchronously through the transmission shaft 46, and continue to descend until the tool cleaning brush 47 contacts the connecting surface of the CNC machining tool 1 directly below; then the external intelligent servo driver will control the servo motor 45 to work, so that the servo motor 45 drives the transmission shaft 46 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 46 will drive the tool cleaning brush 47 to rotate together to rotate and clean the connecting surface of the CNC machining tool 1 in contact with it, and at the same time, the transmission shaft 46 will drive the active pulley 53 to rotate together, so that the active pulley 53 passes The transmission belt 54 drives the driven pulley 55 to rotate together, and the driven pulley 55 will drive the blowing fan blades 51 to rotate synchronously through the driven shaft 56. At this time, the rotating blowing fan blades 51 will blow air downward, and the wind guide plate 52 will guide a part of the wind blown downward by the blowing fan blades 51 to the tool cleaning brush 47, so as to blow off most of the debris and dust adhered to the surface of the tool cleaning brush 47 and the connecting surface of the tool cleaning brush 47, thereby effectively cleaning the connecting surface of the tool cleaning brush 47; after cleaning, the external intelligent servo driver will control the servo motor 45 to stop working and control the servo electric cylinder 41 to perform a contraction action, so that the tool cleaning brush 47 moves up to the initial position, so that the bamboo hat type tool magazine body 2 can rotate the next CNC machining tool 1 to the bottom of the tool cleaning brush 47 for the next set of cleaning operations.
[0037] 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.
