[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, a CNC machine tool structure with an expansion module is used to realize automatic loading and unloading of workpieces and increase the processing efficiency of workpieces.

[0024] Specifically, it includes a bed frame 1, a spindle box 2, a control system 3 and a loading and unloading assembly 4; the spindle box 2 is arranged inside the bed frame 1, the control system 3 is arranged on the bed frame 1, the loading and unloading assembly 4 is arranged on the bed frame 1, and the spindle box 2 and the loading and unloading assembly 4 are both electrically connected to the control system 3.

The control system 3 receives the processing program instructions and controls the cutting tool in the spindle box 2 for processing according to the preset processing path and parameters. After the processing is completed, the loading and unloading assembly 4 will automatically unload the workpiece from the machine tool again for the next operation.

[0026] See also Figure 2 In order to achieve the function of automatic loading and unloading, the loading and unloading assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a work surface 401, an X-axis motion module 402, a support frame 403, a Y-axis motion module 404, a Z-axis motion module 405 and a material picking structure 406; the work surface 401 is arranged on the side of the bed frame 1, the X-axis motion module 402 is assembled on the work surface 401, and a placement plate 407 for placing workpieces is transmission-connected to the X-axis motion module 402 to drive the placement plate 407 to move along the X-axis direction; the support frame 403 is assembled on the top of the bed frame 1, the Y-axis motion module 404 is assembled on the top of the support frame 403, the Z-axis motion module 405 is transmission-connected to the Y-axis motion module 404, and the material picking structure 406 is transmission-connected to the Z-axis motion module 405.

In addition, having at least two three-jaw clamps 4061 can process multiple workpieces at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency and production capacity.
