[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a limiting plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the mounting cover 7, and one side of the limiting plate 15 is slidably connected to one side of the cleaning frame 12. The limiting plate 15 can limit the sliding direction of the cleaning frame 12 to prevent the cleaning frame 12 from being deformed in the removed position due to long-term use.

[0023] like Figure 2 - Figure 4 As shown, an L-shaped mounting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the mounting cover 7, and a cleaning nozzle 22 is rotatably connected to one side of the L-shaped mounting frame 10. The input end of the cleaning nozzle 22 is fixedly connected to a cleaning pipe 9, and the cleaning agent is transported to the cleaning nozzle 22 through the cleaning pipe 9. The cleaning nozzle 22 sprays the cleaning agent onto the cutter head 21 to clean the cooling agent on the cutter head 21.

[0024] like Figure 4As shown, the other side of the L-shaped mounting frame 10 is rotatably connected to a cylinder three 23, and one side of the cleaning nozzle 22 is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 24. One side of the connecting frame 24 is rotatably connected to the output end of the cylinder three 23.

[0028] The utility model provides a quick tool change assembly for a machining center, and the specific working principle is as follows:

[0029] When producing the battery pack of new energy vehicles, the battery pack is processed by a machining center. When the cutter head 21 on the machining center is replaced, firstly, the cylinder 2 19 is opened to push out the cutter head 21 to be replaced in the tool magazine 1, the driving device 2 3 is opened to replace the cutter head 21, the tool changer 4 receives the cutter used by the machining center into the tool magazine 1, and the cylinder 1 6 is opened to make the cleaning frame 12 move back and forth in the mounting cover 7. While moving, the double-sided rack 11 is meshed with the two gears 13, so that the cleaning roller 14 in the cleaning frame 12 rotates to clean the surface of the cutter just received in the tool magazine 1. While opening the cylinder 1 6, the cleaning agent is transported to the cleaning nozzle 22 through the cleaning pipe 9, and the cylinder 3 23 is opened to make the cleaning nozzle 22 use the L-shaped mounting frame 10 as the rotating axis, so that the cleaning agent is sprayed back and forth on the cutter head 21, and then the stains on the surface of the cutter head 21 are cleaned by the cleaning roller 14. When the machining center needs to replace the next cutter head 21, the above operation is repeated.
