When in use, the tool holder is slidably connected to the slide rail on the tool seat of the CNC lathe through the T-shaped slider 15. When the overall position of the tool holder needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to loosen the countersunk fastening bolt 1 4 and the countersunk fastening bolt 2 6 to slide the tool holder along the slide rail to the corresponding position, and then the countersunk fastening bolt 1 4 and the countersunk fastening bolt 2 6 are tightened. When the center height of the tool needs to be adjusted, the clamping bolt 8 is screwed out, and the fastening screw 16 is loosened, and the cylinder 7 is rotated to make it rise and fall to the desired position relative to the connecting seat 1, and the fastening screw 16 is tightened with a screwdriver, and the clamping bolt 8 is screwed into the upper threaded hole 2 13 and tightened. However, the tool center height adjustment method of the invention is only applicable to a tool holder with one tool, and cannot be applied to a rotary tool holder with multiple tools.

[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the CNC tool holder for CNC machine tool processing in this embodiment includes a fixed seat 1, a tool holder 2, a fixing bolt 6, a slide block 3 and a cooling pipe.

[0027] Among them, a plurality of outwardly opening tool mounting grooves 22 are circumferentially provided in the middle part of the tool holder 2, an upper stopper 21 is formed on the tool holder 2 above each tool mounting groove 22, a fixing bolt 23 is penetrated through the upper stopper 21, a lower stopper 4 is formed on the tool holder 2 below each tool mounting groove 22, a notch 24 is formed at the intersection of two adjacent lower stoppers 4 on the tool holder 2, an inclined platform 41 is formed on the lower stopper 4, a groove 411 which passes through the top of the inclined platform 41 is provided, a slider 3 is slidably provided on the lower stopper 4, an inclined sliding surface 32 which matches the inclined platform 41 is formed on the slider 3, a through hole 31 is provided on the slider 3, a bolt 6 is penetrated in the through hole 31, and the outer end of the bolt 6 passes through the groove 411 and is screwed with a nut 5.

[0028] Preferably, in order to make the slider 3 in a stationary state in the initial state, a platform portion 42 is formed on the lower stopper 4 at the root connection of the ramp 41, and a butt portion for butting against the platform portion 42 is formed on the lower side wall of the slider 3. When the butt portion and the platform portion 42 are in contact, the upper side of the slider 3 is flush with the upper side of the ramp 41. At the same time, in order to improve the aesthetics of the installation of the bolt 6, a seating groove 311 for the head of the bolt 6 to sit is formed on the outer side wall of the slider 3. A spring that butts against the head of the bolt 6 is arranged in the seating groove 311. The bolt 6 passes through the spring. At the same time, the spring can press the slider 3 and the ramp 41 against each other, and separate the sliding surface of the slider 3 and the inclined surface of the ramp 41.

[0029] Furthermore, since the tool mounting groove 22 of the tool holder 2 is open outward, in order to prevent the slider 3 from deflecting during the sliding process and to improve the sliding guiding property of the slider 3, a variety of solutions are designed in the embodiment of the utility model. The first is that a limiting portion 33 for being inserted into the groove 411 of the inclined surface of the ramp 41 is formed on the sliding surface 32 of the slider 3. When in use, the limiting portion 33 of the slider 3 is inserted into the groove 411 on the inclined surface of the ramp 41, and the limiting portion 33 provides a guiding effect for the sliding of the slider 3. The second structure is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, a side baffle 7 is connected to the outer wall of the inclined platform 41 by screws, and the slider 3 is slidably arranged between the side baffle 7 and the tool holder 2 body, and the side baffle 7 plays a blocking and guiding role on the side of the slider 3. The third structure is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, a square block 62 is sleeved on the bolt 6, and the square block 62 is limitedly installed in the groove 411 of the inclined platform 41. It is also possible to combine one or two of the above structures to improve the sliding guide function of the slider 3 at the same time.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to prevent the bolt 6 from leaving the inclined platform 41 during the upward movement, a top sealing plate 8 for sealing the top of the groove 411 is connected to the top of the inclined platform 41 by screws.

[0031] In addition, since a large amount of heat is generated during tool cutting, in order to facilitate the heat dissipation of the tool. In the embodiment of the utility model, a cooling hole 61 is provided in the bolt 6, and the axis of the cooling hole 61 coincides with the central axis of the bolt 6. A first connector is provided on the screw portion of the bolt 6, and the first connector is connected to a connecting pipe. A second connector is provided at the bolt head of the bolt 6, and the second connector is connected to a cooling pipe for cooling the tool head. Since the bolt head in the embodiment of the utility model is very close to the tool head during the tool cutting process, by providing a cooling hole 61 inside the bolt 6, the coolant can be well transported to the tool cutting part. Alternatively, a cooling nozzle may be provided at the notch 24 on the tool holder 2, and the tube body of the cooling nozzle may be buried in the tool holder 2.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] In Example 1, the inclined platform 41 has only one inclined surface. As the slider 3 moves upward, the slider 3 can only press one end of the handle, while the other end of the handle will be suspended for a longer length. Example 2 is to achieve force on both ends of the handle and improve the uniformity of the force on the handle. To this end, the technical feature of Example 2 compared to Example 1 is that, in this embodiment, the inclined platform 41 has two inclined surfaces and is designed to use two sliders 3. Specifically, see Figure 8 As shown, the inclined platform 41 is located in the middle of the lower stopper, and the cross section of the inclined platform 41 is an isosceles trapezoidal structure. Inclined surfaces are formed on both sides of the inclined platform 41. The slider 3 has two sliders, which are respectively slidably arranged on the inclined surfaces on both sides of the inclined platform 41. The bolt 6 passes through the two sliders 3 and the inclined platform 41. The head of the bolt 6 abuts against one of the sliders 3, and the nut 5 on the bolt 6 abuts against the other slider 3. In Example 2, two sliders 3 are used to support the tool handle at the same time, thereby improving the support effect of the tool handle and ensuring the stability of the tool handle.

[0034] In summary, based on the structure of the traditional tool holder 2, the utility model improves the structure of the lower stopper 4, designs the lower stopper 4 into an inclined platform structure, and adds a slider structure with the same inclined surface, and uses the bolt 6 and the nut 5 to limit and fix the slider 3. During the adjustment of the tool center height, loosen the nut 5, the top surface of the slider 3 is flush with the top surface of the lower stopper 4, place the tool in the tool mounting groove 22, rotate the nut 5, the distance between the nut 5 and the head of the bolt 6 is reduced, and the slider 3 slowly moves up to achieve the adjustment of the tool center height. Thereafter, tighten the fixing bolt 23 on the upper stopper 21 to fix the tool handle. During the process of the tool handle being pressed, since the distance between the head of the bolt 6 and the nut 5 remains unchanged, the slider 3 will not move downward but is in a fixed state, thereby realizing the installation process of the entire tool. The tool center height adjustment structure of the utility model is completely applicable to the rotary tool holder structure, and provides a good solution for the tool center height adjustment in the rotary tool holder.
