Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the relevant technical field of numerical control machine tools for processing hexagon socket nuts, in particular to a tool rest anti-winding mechanism of a numerical control machine tool. Background Art

[0002] Hexagon socket nuts, also known as hexagon nuts, hexagonal blocks, and hexagon socket bolts, are nuts with six angular protrusions, which play an important role in mechanical assembly and fastening. In the process of processing hexagon socket nuts, generally according to the needs of the product, it is necessary to mill grooves on the side and drill internal thread holes, so cutting bits, internal thread processing bits and other tools are used. For the convenience of operation, the cutting bits and internal thread processing bits are generally installed on a tool holder at the same time, and then the tool holder is driven back and forth by a cylinder to switch the tools.

[0003] At present, the commonly used tool holder structures of various lathes are relatively simple. For example, patent No. 200920120353.X is disclosed, and the patent name is a device for installing and adjusting the tool position on a machine tool. The others include a tool holder seat, a T-nut, a U-shaped clamping block, a tool holder, a supporting screw block, and hexagon socket head screws connecting them; the T-shaped base plate of the tool holder is used to be fixed on the lathe support plate, and the tool fastening screw is used to fix the tool; the positioning screw is positioned forward, backward, left and right through the T-nut; the adjusting screw is supported on the supporting screw block to fine-tune the tool holder up and down, and the locking screw locks the tool holder in position through the U-shaped clamping block. This structure can achieve that after the knife is installed, the knife can be adjusted and positioned up and down, front and back, left and right, which greatly shortens the time for installing and adjusting the knife. Generally, in order to achieve the same equipment to realize cutting and threaded hole drilling operations, different tools are installed on the tool holder at intervals (the tools are on the same plane). However, during the use of this structure, it was found that the tool needs to perform reciprocating motion for cutting and threaded hole drilling operations. During such operation, it was found that the cut waste is easily entangled between the tools (wound around the tool in the form of wire coils), resulting in the need to stop the machine later and manually clean it, resulting in reduced work efficiency. Therefore, improvement is needed. Utility Model Content
