A placement hole is provided on the top of the storage plate 2, and a clamping groove 5 is provided on the inner wall of the placement hole. The spring clip 4 is movably clamped in the corresponding clamping groove 5. Three positioning grooves 9 are provided on the top of the storage plate 2, and the front side of the positioning groove 9 is open. A transfer clamping plate 6 is fixedly installed in the positioning groove 9, and a semicircular clamping hole is provided on the top of the transfer clamping plate 6, and a tool 7 is movably clamped in the semicircular clamping hole.

[0028] It should be noted that the gasket 3 and the four spring sheets 4 are integrally arranged, and the spring sheets 4 not only play a role in fixing the storage plate 2 , but also play a certain clamping role on the tool 7 .

[0029] In this embodiment, a plurality of arc-shaped clamping plates 8 are provided on the inner wall of the placement hole. The plurality of arc-shaped clamping plates 8 located in the same placement hole are centrally symmetrically arranged. The arc-shaped clamping plates 8 are arranged according to the shape of the bottom end of the tool 7 so as to form a riveted structure with the tool to improve the stability of the placement of the tool 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, a plurality of positioning plates 10 and a plurality of supporting plates 11 are fixedly mounted on the front side of the porous table plate 1 . The positioning plate 10 and the two supporting plates 11 are matched with each other to position and support the storage plate 2 .

[0031] In this embodiment, support seats 12 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the transfer card plate 6, and horizontally placed guide wheels 13 are rotatably installed in the support seats 12. The arrangement of the two guide wheels 13 facilitates the cylindrical end of the upper part of the tool 7 to be inserted into the semicircular clamping hole. They can provide support and guiding functions. The design of the guide wheels 13 can reduce friction, making it easier for the tool 7 to enter the slot, and also helps to reduce damage or jamming caused by friction.

[0032] In this embodiment, a plurality of thread grooves are formed on the top of the porous platen 1 , a plurality of thread holes 15 are formed on the top of the storage plate 2 , and the same screw 14 is installed in the thread grooves and the thread holes 15 .

[0033] In this embodiment, raised strips 16 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the top of the porous table 1, and two grooves are provided at the bottom of the storage plate 2. The raised strips 16 are movably engaged in the corresponding grooves.

Two sliding seats are fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting plate 18, and a slide rail groove is opened on one side of the sliding seat to facilitate the connection of the entire device with other components of the processing equipment.

[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of partitions 19 are fixedly installed between the two side plates 17 , a mounting groove is provided on one side of the partition 19 , and matching mounting holes are provided on the side plates 17 , and the partitions 19 separate the cutters 7 .

[0037] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the utility model is divided into two storage parts, one is a long-term storage position composed of the circular holes on the porous table 1, the gasket 3 and the storage plate 2, and the other is a temporary storage position of the transfer card plate 6. When it is detected that the tool 7 needs to be extracted, the manipulator transfers the tool 7 from the storage plate 2 to the transfer card plate 6, and extracts it at one time. When it is detected that the tool 7 needs to be stored, the manipulator moves the tool 7 from different processing stations to the transfer card plate 6, and puts it into the storage plate 2 at one time. This method improves the efficiency of extracting or storing the tool 7.

[0038] Of course, the present utility model may have many other implementations. Based on the present implementation, other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
