[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an automatic tool changing mechanism for a denture engraving and milling machine includes a top plate 1, a clamping tool holder 2 and a tool 308. The clamping tool holder 2 is installed on the lower surface of the top plate 1, and a tool changing mechanism 3 for driving multiple sets of tools 308 for installation is installed on the lower surface of the top plate 1. A disassembly mechanism 4 is provided on the side of the tool changing mechanism 3 close to the clamping tool holder 2, and a limiting mechanism 6 is installed inside the disassembly mechanism 4; specifically, the tool 308 matched inside the clamping tool holder 2 is driven to move by starting the tool changing mechanism 3, and the tool 308 matched inside the clamping tool holder 2 is clamped to the inside of the clamping tool holder 2, so that the device replaces manual picking up of the tool to install the tool inside the clamping tool holder 2, thereby shortening the time spent by the device in replacing the tool, thereby improving the production efficiency of the device.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the tool changing mechanism 3 includes a U-shaped fixing plate 301, which is mounted on the lower surface of the top plate 1, and a motor 302 is arranged on the side of the U-shaped fixing plate 301 away from the clamping tool holder 2. Through holes are provided on the inner walls on the left and right sides of the U-shaped fixing plate 301, and screws 304 are rotatably connected inside the two groups of through holes of the U-shaped fixing plate 301. The output shaft of the motor 302 passes through the left through hole of the U-shaped fixing plate 301 and is installed on the left side of the screw 304. The external thread of the screw 304 is connected with a slider 303, and the upper surface of the slider 303 abuts against the top of the inner wall of the U-shaped fixing plate 301. An electric telescopic rod 305 is installed on the lower surface of the slider 303, and a fixing plate 306 is installed on the output end of the electric telescopic rod 305. A storage box 307 is provided on the upper surface of the fixing plate 306, and a plurality of groups of positioning grooves are provided on the upper surface of the storage box 307. A plurality of groups of tools 308 are respectively clamped inside the plurality of groups of positioning grooves of the storage box 307.

[0026] Specifically, after the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 is disassembled and moved, the motor 302 is started to drive the electric telescopic rod 305 and the fixed plate 306 to move left and right at the lower end of the top plate 1, so that the fixed plate 306 synchronously drives multiple groups of tools 308 to move during the left and right movement. When the adapted tool 308 moves to the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2, the electric telescopic rod 305 is started to clamp the adapted tool 308 into the inside of the clamping tool holder 2, so that the device replaces manual picking up of the tool to install the tool into the inside of the clamping tool holder 2, thereby shortening the time spent by the device in replacing the tool, and thus improving the production efficiency of the device.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the disassembly mechanism 4 includes a connecting plate 403 and a clamping block 404. A clamping slot is provided on a side of the fixing plate 306 away from the electric telescopic rod 305. The clamping block 404 is clamped inside the clamping slot of the fixing plate 306. The connecting plate 403 is installed on a side of the clamping block 404 away from the fixing plate 306. A clamping slot is provided on a side of the connecting plate 403 away from the tool changing mechanism 3. A bidirectional electric telescopic rod 402 is installed inside the clamping slot of the connecting plate 403. L-shaped fixing plates 401 are installed on the output ends of the front and rear sides of the bidirectional electric telescopic rod 402.

[0028] Specifically, before the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 is disassembled and moved, the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 are driven to move by starting the tool changing mechanism 3, and the adjacent sides of the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 are respectively moved to the front and rear sides of the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2, and then the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 are driven to move by starting the two-way electric telescopic rod 402, and the adjacent sides of the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 are respectively abutted against the front and rear sides of the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2, and the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 and the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 are driven downward by starting the tool changing mechanism 3, so that the device can automatically complete the entire tool changing process during use, thereby reducing the labor cost consumed by the device during use, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0029] At the same time, by clamping the clamping block 404 in the clamping slot of the fixing plate 306, the disassembly mechanism 4 and the tool changing mechanism 3 can be disassembled during use, and the tool changing mechanism 3 or the disassembly mechanism 4 can be disassembled and replaced after damage, thereby reducing the subsequent maintenance cost of the device.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the adjacent sides of the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 are bonded with anti-skid pads 5; specifically, the positions of the two groups of anti-skid pads 5 are set between the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 and the contact surface of the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2, so that the two groups of anti-skid pads 5 increase the friction between the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 and the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2, thereby minimizing the sliding of the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 between the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 during the subsequent process of clamping and disassembling the tool at the lower end of the movable clamping tool holder 2 by the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401, thereby reducing the time spent by the subsequent disassembly mechanism 4 in disassembling the tool at the lower end of the movable clamping tool holder 2.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting mechanism 6 includes an L-shaped limiting plate 601, which is installed on the side of the two-way electric telescopic rod 402 away from the fixed plate 306. A positioning hole 602 is opened on the upper surface of the L-shaped limiting plate 601, and the position of the upper end of the positioning hole 602 is parallel to the adjacent side of the two groups of L-shaped fixed plates 401; specifically, when the two groups of L-shaped fixed plates 401 clamp the tool inside the clamping tool holder 2, the L-shaped limiting plate 601 is driven to move by starting the tool changing mechanism 3, and the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 is clamped in the positioning hole 602, so that the limiting mechanism 6 limits the falling position of the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 between the two groups of L-shaped fixed plates 401, thereby minimizing the possibility that the tool will slip to the ground when the subsequent staff takes the tool between the two groups of L-shaped fixed plates 401.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a groove is provided on the side of the card block 404 away from the connecting plate 403, and a magnet 7 is installed inside the groove of the card block 404. The side of the magnet 7 away from the card block 404 is adsorbed on the inner wall of the storage box 307 away from the card block 404. Specifically, the card block 404 and the magnet 7 are moved by pushing the connecting plate 403, and the side of the magnet 7 away from the card block 404 is adsorbed on the inner wall of the storage box 307 away from the card block 404, so that the magnet 7 limits the moving position of the card block 404 inside the card slot of the fixed plate 306, thereby minimizing the movement of the disassembly mechanism 4 during use.

[0033] In summary: by starting the motor 302, the electric telescopic rod 305 and the fixed plate 306 are driven to move left and right at the lower end of the top plate 1, so that the fixed plate 306 synchronously drives multiple sets of cutting tools 308 to move during the left and right movement. When the matching cutting tool 308 moves to the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2, the electric telescopic rod 305 is started to clamp the matching cutting tool 308 to the inside of the clamping tool holder 2, so that the device replaces manual picking up of the cutting tool to install the cutting tool to the inside of the clamping tool holder 2, thereby shortening the time spent by the device in changing the cutting tool, thereby improving the production efficiency of the device; by starting the tool changing mechanism 3, the two sets of L-shaped fixed plates are driven 401 is moved, and the adjacent sides of the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 are respectively moved to the front and rear sides of the lower end tool of the clamping tool holder 2, and then the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 are driven to move by starting the two-way electric telescopic rod 402, and the adjacent sides of the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 are respectively abutted against the front and rear sides of the lower end tool of the clamping tool holder 2, and the two groups of L-shaped fixing plates 401 and the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 are driven downward by starting the tool changing mechanism 3, so that the device can automatically complete the entire tool changing process during use, thereby reducing the labor cost consumed by the device during use.

[0034] At the same time, by starting the tool changing mechanism 3 to drive the L-shaped limit plate 601 to move, the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 is clamped in the positioning hole 602, so that the limit mechanism 6 limits the falling position of the tool at the lower end of the clamping tool holder 2 between the two sets of L-shaped fixing plates 401, thereby minimizing the possibility that the tool will slip to the ground when subsequent staff members take the tool between the two sets of L-shaped fixing plates 401.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments.
