[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a tool multi-layer storage structure for a tool magazine includes:

[0029] Base 1, base 1 includes a main frame 11, a guide rail device 12 and an adjustment mechanism 13, the main frame 11 is used to support the entire tool multi-layer storage structure, the guide rail device 12 is used to guide the tool multi-layer storage structure to move, and the adjustment mechanism 13 is used to adjust the horizontality of the tool multi-layer storage structure;

[0030] The conveying mechanism 2 is fixedly arranged on the base 1 and has multiple layers, and each layer of the conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a plurality of tool clamping devices 21;

[0031] The driving control system 4 is connected to the conveying mechanism 2 and is used to drive and control the tool clamping device 21 to rotate.

[0032] The main frame 11 serves as a supporting base, stably supporting the entire storage structure. The guide rail device 12 runs through the entire storage structure, allowing each module of the tool storage to move along a predetermined path. The adjustment mechanism 13 provides necessary fine-tuning functions to ensure that the entire storage structure remains level under different operating environments. The drive control system 4 is connected to the transmission mechanism of each layer through the motor 41A and the transmission shaft 41B, driving the tool clamping device 21 to rotate and position.

[0033] By effectively managing the space configuration, the utilization efficiency of the storage space is greatly improved. The drive control system 4 has a high degree of automation, which reduces the possibility of human errors and enhances the safety of the working environment. The addition of the adjustment mechanism 13 enables the storage structure to adapt to different working planes, further ensuring the stability of the operation and the long-term stability of the storage structure, which not only saves the time of access operations, but also reduces the long-term operating cost of the storage structure.

[0034] In this embodiment, the arrangement interval of the tool holding devices 21 is adjustable.

[0035] By adjusting the spacing between the tool clamping devices 21, the storage structure can adapt to tools of different sizes and types, so that the storage structure can accommodate a wider range of tools, and there is less need to equip specific types of tools with dedicated storage facilities, thereby reducing investment and maintenance costs. In addition, the adjustable spacing also allows the storage space to be used more effectively, and the storage layout can be optimized according to the current operating requirements and the frequency of tool use, further improving the overall storage capacity of the tool magazine, and also ensuring fast and convenient tool replacement, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, a safety locking mechanism 21A is provided on the tool clamping device 21, and the safety locking mechanism 21A is used to prevent the tool from falling off during storage.

[0037] The safety locking mechanism 21A prevents the tool from accidentally falling off during transportation or storage, thereby avoiding possible injury to the operator or damage to other stored tools. It also prevents failure or damage to the storage structure that may be caused by the falling tool, thereby improving the safety of the entire storage structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, the tool clamping device 21 can adjust the clamping force for different tools.

[0039] The adjustable function of the tool clamping device 21 can adjust the clamping force of different tools, which greatly increases the applicability and flexibility of the storage structure. By accurately controlling the clamping force, it can not only ensure the fine handling of small or special material tools and prevent damage to the tools due to excessive clamping, but also adapt to the firm clamping of heavy tools under heavy cutting conditions, improve the use efficiency and economic benefits of the storage structure, and reduce tool damage and quality problems caused by improper clamping.

[0040] In this embodiment, a dust protection device 22 is fixedly provided on the outside of the conveying mechanism 2 .

[0041] The protective dustproof device fixed on the outside of the conveying mechanism 2 improves the durability and reliability of the storage structure, effectively blocks dust and other impurities, prevents them from invading the interior of the storage structure, reduces the wear and failure rate of internal components, extends the maintenance cycle of the storage structure, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures the stable operation of the storage structure.

[0042] In this embodiment, a damping structure 3 is provided between the conveying mechanism 2 and the base 1 .

[0043] When the conveying mechanism 2 is running, the damping structure 3 absorbs and mitigates the vibration caused by the mechanical operation, so that the stability during the operation is guaranteed, while also reducing the noise level and providing a more stable working environment.

[0044] In this embodiment, the driving control system 4 includes a motor 41A and a transmission shaft 41B, and is connected to the transmission mechanism 2 through gears.

[0045] The drive system is composed of a motor 41A and a transmission shaft 41B. The motor 41A drives the transmission shaft 41B to rotate, and then transmits power to the conveying mechanism 2 through gears, so that the multi-layer tool clamping device 21 on the conveying mechanism 2 can operate. The drive system improves the speed and accuracy of tool storage and retrieval, makes the overall operation smoother, and improves the reliability and service life of tool storage.

[0046] In this embodiment, a positioning device 11A is fixedly provided on the main frame 11 , and the positioning device 11A is used to adjust the tool storage position.

[0047] The specific position of the tool during storage is determined and adjusted by precise adjustment of the positioning device 11A fixed on the main frame 11, allowing the tool to automatically adjust its position when placing or taking out the tool, ensuring that each access can be accurately docked to avoid operational errors and time delays. The setting of the positioning device 11A effectively improves the operating efficiency, ensures the stability of the storage structure and the safety of the tool, and enhances flexibility and adaptability. The storage structure can handle tools of various types and sizes, which not only optimizes the storage layout of the tool, but also improves the access speed and accuracy.

[0048] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the description are only for explaining the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which are within the scope of the present invention.
