[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] Reference Figure 1-5A rotary tool changer for a numerically controlled machine tool comprises a wheel disc 1, a rotating frame 2 is connected to the bottom side of the wheel disc 1 through a stabilizing component, a plurality of placement sleeves 3 are fixedly connected to the front side of the wheel disc 1, and the plurality of placement sleeves 3 surround the front side of the wheel disc 1 with the front center of the wheel disc 1, a secondary shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the front center of the wheel disc 1, and an abutting wheel 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the secondary shaft 6, a motor 10 is installed inside the wheel disc 1, and a driving end of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the secondary shaft 6, a through groove is provided on one side of the placement sleeve 3 close to the abutting wheel 7, and a tightening component is arranged inside the through groove, and the tightening component is connected to the wheel disc 1 through a reset component. The front side of the disk 1 is connected, the rear end of the rotating frame 2 is equipped with a driving assembly, and the outer periphery of the rear side of the wheel disc 1 is provided with a limiting assembly; the driving assembly includes a motor 8, the outer wall of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the rotating frame 2 through a bracket, the driving end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to a main shaft 9, and the front end of the main shaft 9 is fixed to the rear center of the wheel disc 1; the stabilizing assembly includes a sliding groove 18, the sliding groove 18 is opened on the top side of the front end of the rotating frame 2, the outer periphery of the outer wall of the wheel disc 1 is fixedly connected to a sliding ring 19, and the wheel disc 1 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 18 through the sliding ring 19;

[0033] Specifically, a device for storing and retrieving tools from the tool holder is installed on the outside of the tool changer. The sliding ring 19 on the outer wall of the wheel disc 1 slides in the sliding groove 18 on the rotating frame 2, so that the wheel disc 1 can have a more stable support, reduce the shaking during work, and thus improve the work accuracy. The placement sleeve 3 is used to place tools of various specifications. When the CNC machine tool needs to replace the tool, the driving end of the motor 8 drives the spindle 9 to rotate a certain angle, and then the spindle 9 drives the wheel disc 1 connected to the front side and the structure on the front side of the wheel disc 1 to rotate, and then the tool is selected.

[0034] The abutting assembly includes a abutting member 4, which is arranged on the side of the through slot close to the abutting wheel 7, and the abutting member 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the abutting member 4 close to the abutting wheel 7, and the abutting member 5 abuts against the adjacent side of the abutting wheel 7; the reset assembly includes a slide bar 11 and a slide groove 13, the slide bar 11 is arranged on the adjacent side of the abutting wheel 7 and the secondary shaft 6, the rear side of the slide bar 11 is fixedly connected to the front side of the wheel disc 1, and the slide groove 13 is opened on the front side of the wheel disc 1. Located at the rear side of the slide bar 11, the slide bar 11 and the slide groove 13 are connected by a slide 12, the front side of the slide 12 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the abutment 5, and a spring 14 is arranged on the side of the slide 12 close to the secondary shaft 6, and the spring 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the slide bar 11; one end of the slide 12 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide bar 11, and the other end of the slide 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 13; the outer periphery of the abutment wheel 7 is provided with a smooth concave-convex structure;

[0035] Specifically, the abutting member 4 is used to abut the tool in the placement sleeve 3 through the through slot, and a protrusion for increasing the abutment is provided on the inner side of the abutting member 4. The abutting member 4 is normally located at the through slot, and at this time, the position of the slide 12 connected to the abutting member 5 will stretch and pull the spring 14. The slide groove 13 is used to stabilize the sliding of the slide 12, and the other end of the slide 12 is located in the slide groove 13, so that the slide 12 can slide stably on the slide rod 11. By rotating the driving end of the motor 2 10, the driven secondary shaft 6 drives the abutment wheel 7 to rotate, and the position of the raised structure on the outer periphery of the abutment wheel 7 is changed. The part of the abutment member 5 abutting against the abutment wheel 7 is an arc structure, so that the arc structure of the abutment member 5 follows the displacement of the raised structure, loses the abutment of the raised structure, and slides into the recessed structure, so that the stretched spring 14 loses the traction of the slide 12 connected to the abutment member 5 when the abutment member 5 is abutted, thereby resetting, pulling the slide 12 to move on the slide rod 11 in the direction of the abutment wheel 7, thereby driving the abutment member 5 together with the clamping member 4 to move, thereby releasing the clamping of the clamping member 4 on the tool in the placement sleeve 3.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] As one of the optimized structural designs for Example 1, Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 4 , the limit assembly includes an electric push rod 15, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the left side of the rear end of the rotating frame 2 through a frame body, a limit slot 17 is provided on the outer periphery of the rear side of the wheel disc 1, a clamping member 16 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the electric push rod 15, and the outer walls of the limit slot 17 and the clamping member 16 are both provided with gears, and the limit slot 17 and the clamping member 16 are connected through the gears;

[0038] Specifically, the number of teeth on the limit slot 17 is greater than the number of teeth on the clamp 16, so that the limit slot 17 can be clamped and limited by the clamp 16 in any case. The clamp 16 is pushed into the limit slot 17 by the electric push rod 15, and the teeth of the clamp 16 and the limit slot 17 are mutually engaged, so that the wheel disc 1 can be limited when the external device accesses the tool, and the wheel disc 1 is prevented from rotating, so that the tool taking process is more stable, so as to improve the working accuracy.

[0039] Working principle: When the CNC machine tool needs to replace the tool, the driving end of the motor 8 drives the main shaft 9 to rotate at a certain angle, and then the main shaft 9 drives the wheel disc 1 connected to the front side and the structure on the front side of the wheel disc 1 to rotate, and then the tool is selected. After the rotation stops, the driving end of the motor 2 10 rotates, and the driving secondary shaft 6 drives the abutment wheel 7 to rotate, and the position of the convex structure on the outer periphery of the abutment wheel 7 is changed, so that the arc structure of the abutment member 5 follows the displacement of the convex structure, loses the abutment of the convex structure, and slides into the concave structure, so that the stretched spring 14 loses the traction of the slide 12 connected to the abutment member 5 when the abutment member 5 is abutted, thereby resetting and pulling the slide Component 12 is displaced on the slide bar 11 in the direction of the abutment wheel 7, thereby driving the abutment member 5 together with the clamping member 4 to be displaced, thereby releasing the clamping member 4 from the tool placed in the sleeve 3. At the same time, the electric push rod 15 pushes the clamping member 16 into the limiting slot 17, and the clamping member 16 and the teeth of the limiting slot 17 are mutually engaged, thereby preventing the wheel 1 from rotating, making the tool taking process more stable. Subsequently, the external equipment accesses the tool to the tool holder, and the driving end of the motor 10 rotates again, driving the secondary shaft 6 to drive the abutment wheel 7 to rotate, and the position of the raised structure on the outer periphery of the abutment wheel 7 is changed, and the abutment member 5 sliding along the recessed structure will be abutted by the raised structure again, so that the clamping member 4 is reset.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
