In the initial state, the cylinder 31 controls the transmission shaft to be in a retracted state, the chuck 38 does not contact any tool group 12, the top of the chuck bracket 35 is located at the bottom of the tapered groove 36, and the chuck 38 is in an open state. When starting work, the cylinder 31 pushes out the transmission shaft 37, and the push shaft 371 pushes the connecting block 33 forward, the end of the chuck bracket 35 leaves the tapered groove 36, and the arc-shaped protrusion in the middle of the chuck bracket 35 contacts the inner wall of the limit sleeve 32 to limit the range of movement, and the chuck 38 is buckled inward.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating structure 4 includes a connecting frame 42, a tool 41 is installed on the connecting frame 42, a transmission head 421 is arranged on the connecting frame 42, and the transmission head 421 is composed of a resistance block and an arc block, wherein the resistance block is located on one side of the connecting frame 42, the resistance block has a concave curved surface, and the arc block is installed at the center of the curved surface to form a notch, and the connecting frame 42 is rotatably connected to a limiting block 43, and the limiting block 43 is provided with an inclined surface 431, and the inclined surface 431 limits the connection The rotation range of the connecting frame 42, a limiting groove 432 is provided at the central axis of the limiting block 43, and the limiting groove 432 limits the left and right movement range of the connecting frame 42. A positioning bead 422 is installed above the connection between the connecting frame 42 and the limiting block 43. The positioning bead 422 is connected to the connecting frame 42 through a small spring (not marked in the figure), and positioning grooves are provided on the inner walls on both sides of the limiting groove 432 (not marked in the figure), and the positioning grooves can be connected with the positioning bead 422 to play a positioning role. In the initial state, the abutment block conflicts with the inclined surface on the limiting block 43, and the positioning bead 422 is in the positioning grooves provided on the inner walls on both sides of the limiting groove 432, and the tool 41 is perpendicular to the turntable 11. When Figure 3When the chuck 38 in the transmission mechanism 3 described in the above description hits the arc block on the transmission head 421, the chuck 38 is pressed open and the spring 34 contracts. When the chuck 38 enters the slot, the spring 34 returns to its original state, the chuck 38 buckles inward, and the push shaft 371 continues to push the connecting block 33 to make the chuck 38 continue to move forward. When the rotating wheel 381 set on the chuck 38 hits the resistance block, the thrust of the push shaft 371 makes the rotating wheel 381 move along the curved surface on the resistance block, thereby pushing the connecting frame 42 to rotate, and the positioning bead 422 leaves the positioning groove in the limiting groove 432 until the connecting frame 42 is pushed until its outer surface contacts the surface of the turntable 11, and then the tool changing mechanism 2 replaces the tool 41. When the return begins, the cylinder 31 controls the transmission rod 37 to contract, driving the push shaft 371 to pull the connecting block 33, and the chuck 38 is always in the inward buckle state. After the chuck 38 contacts the arc block on the transmission head 421, the transmission head 421 is pulled along the curved surface on the arc block to rotate the connecting frame 42, until the resistance block on the transmission head 421 contacts the inclined surface 431 on the limit block 43, and the positioning bead 422 enters the positioning grooves set on the inner walls of the limit groove 432 on both sides, and the end of the chuck bracket 35 enters the tapered groove 36, so that the chuck 38 opens and exits the rotating structure 4, and then the transmission mechanism 3 returns to the initial state, and the turntable 11 rotates under the drive of the motor to send the tool 41 into the tool magazine 1. The function of the protection groove 39 is to limit the position of the limit sleeve 32 and the transmission head 421, and the protection mechanism is damaged due to contact during movement.
[0025] In summary, through the cooperation between the transmission mechanism 3 and the rotating structure 4, the tool 41 can be stably conveyed to the tool changing mechanism 2, and the position of the tool 41 is limited so that it will not shake due to movement, thereby changing the position of the tool 41, making the entire tool changing mechanism 2 more stable. Through the cooperation of the chuck bracket 35, the limiting sleeve 32 and the tapered groove 36 in the limiting sleeve 32, the entire transmission mechanism 3 can complete the adaptive clamping and pushing of the rotating structure 4 to complete the tool delivery. The positioning beads 422 installed in the connecting frame 42 can lock the rotating structure 4 in a state perpendicular to the turntable 11, and reduce the collision of the tool when the turntable 11 switches the tool 41.
