[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0021] The terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" cited in the present utility model are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of application of the present utility model. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships shall be regarded as the scope of application of the present utility model without substantially changing the technical content.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 A disc-type tool magazine support comprises a frame body 1, a plurality of mounting openings are provided on the surface of the frame body 1 in a circumferential shape, a hollow rod 2 with one end designed to be closed is fixedly installed in the mounting opening, a suction cup 3 is fixedly installed on the open end of the hollow rod 2, a rotating opening is provided on the closed end of the hollow rod 2, a rotating shaft 4 is sealed and rotatably installed in the rotating opening, an air inlet 5 is provided on the surface of the hollow rod 2, a sealing plate 6 is fixedly installed on one end of the rotating shaft 4 located in the hollow rod 2 through a straight rod, and the sealing plate 6 is used to cover the air inlet 5;

[0023] A rotating disk 7 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating shaft 4 located outside, and the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the hollow rod 2 through an elastic component. The elastic component includes a torsion spring 8 sleeved on the rotating shaft 4, and the two ends of the torsion spring 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the rotating disk 7 and the hollow rod 2;

[0024] When the tool magazine needs to be installed, it is only necessary to align the surface of the tool magazine with the multiple suction cups 3 and press them against each other. At this time, the suction cups 3 will be deformed by the pressing force. Since the multiple air inlets 5 are respectively covered by the multiple sealing plates 6, the gas in the hollow rod 2 can only slip out from the gap between the suction cups 3 and the contact surface of the tool magazine, and then the multiple suction cups 3 will absorb the tool magazine, thereby completing the fixation of the tool magazine;

[0025] During desorption, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating shaft 4 to control the sealing plate 6 to no longer cover the air inlet 5. At this time, the gas in the outside will enter the hollow rod 2 from the air inlet 5, thereby releasing the adsorption of the suction cup 3 on the tool magazine. When the rotating shaft 4 is released, the rotating shaft 4 will quickly rotate and reset with the sealing plate 6 under the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 8, and the sealing plate 6 will cover the air inlet 5 again.

[0026] A support assembly is provided on the surface of the frame 1, and the support assembly is used to assist in supporting the tool magazine. The support assembly includes a mounting opening that is circumferentially opened on the surface of the frame 1, a plurality of sliders 9 that are respectively slidably arranged in the plurality of mounting openings, a plurality of support rods 10 that are rotatably installed on the surface of the sliders 9, and a driving component. The driving component is used to control the plurality of sliders 9 to slide together. The driving component includes a threaded rod 11 that is horizontally rotatably installed on the surface of the frame 1, a slide plate 12 that is threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod 11, a plurality of I-shaped blocks 13, and a plurality of inclined plates 14 that are respectively fixedly installed on the surfaces of the plurality of sliders 9. A sliding opening 15 is opened on the surface of the inclined plate 14, and a plurality of I-shaped blocks 13 are respectively slidably arranged in the plurality of sliding openings 15. The I-shaped blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the slide plate 12 through a connecting rod 16. An adjusting wheel is fixedly installed on one end of the threaded rod 11 away from the frame 1, and an anti-slip pattern is provided on the surface of the adjusting wheel.

[0027] Before installing the tool magazine, first place it on the two support rods 10 located at the bottom, and then control the slide plate 12 to carry the multiple I-shaped blocks 13 to slide in the multiple slide openings 15 by rotating the threaded rod 11. Under the action of the inclined surface pressure, the multiple slide blocks 9 will respectively carry the multiple support rods 10 to move, and control the multiple support rods 10 to move closer to each other. During the movement, the tool magazine located on the support rods 10 will move together until the multiple support rods 10 are in contact with the tool magazine. At this time, the tool magazine is pushed to move in the direction close to the multiple suction cups 3. When attracted, the multiple suction cups 3 will be arranged in a circular shape on the surface of the tool magazine, so that the adsorption of the multiple suction cups 3 to the tool magazine can be more stable. The multiple support rods 10 can not only support the tool magazine, but also quickly control the tool magazine to move to a suitable adsorption position.

[0028] A protective sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the support rod 10 . The protective sleeve is made of rubber material. The rubber protective sleeve has good elasticity, thereby preventing damage to the surface of the tool magazine caused by the pressure of the support rod 10 .

[0029] When the tool magazine needs to be installed, it is only necessary to align the surface of the tool magazine with the multiple suction cups 3 and press them against each other. At this time, the suction cups 3 will be deformed by the pressing force. Since the multiple air inlets 5 are respectively covered by the multiple sealing plates 6, the gas located in the hollow rod 2 can only slip out from the gap between the suction cup 3 and the contact surface of the tool magazine, and then the multiple suction cups 3 will adsorb the tool magazine, thereby completing the fixation of the tool magazine. When desorbing, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating shaft 4 to control the sealing plate 6 to no longer cover the air inlet 5. At this time, the gas located in the outside will enter the hollow rod 2 from the air inlet 5, thereby releasing the adsorption of the suction cup 3 on the tool magazine. When the rotating shaft 4 is released, the rotating shaft 4 will quickly rotate and reset with the sealing plate 6 under the elastic potential energy of the elastic component, and the sealing plate 6 will cover the air inlet 5 again. The frame 1 can quickly complete the installation and disassembly of the tool magazine, which is convenient and quick, avoiding the cumbersome steps of using screw and nut fixings, and improving the work efficiency of disassembling and assembling the tool magazine.

[0030] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
