Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical direction of numerical control machine tools, and in particular relates to a tool claw of a tool magazine of a numerical control machine tool which is easy to install. Background Art

[0002] Most CNC machine tools now use an automatic tool change system with a tool magazine. The tool magazines mainly include linear tool magazines, chain tool magazines, and disc tool magazines. When using an automatic tool change system with a tool magazine, you need to use a tool claw to select the required tool and then install it on the spindle. The tool magazine generally includes a tool disk and a tool claw on the tool disk. The tool claw is mainly used to replace the spindle tool during the machining process.

[0003] The knife claw in the prior art usually includes a driving component, a clamping component for fixing the tool, and a connecting component for connecting the knife claw and the cutter disc. During the processing, when the knife claw is close to the tool handle, the driving device controls the knife claw to open a certain angle to allow the tool to enter the knife claw; when the tool enters the knife claw, the driving device controls the knife claw to close to clamp the tool. In this way, the knife claw needs a driving device to control the knife claw to grab the tool, and the installation of the driving device requires a certain space to be reserved for corresponding wiring, which makes the structure of the knife claw more complicated and the manufacturing cost relatively high.

[0004] As disclosed in Chinese patent CN207788379U, the tool claw of a CNC machine tool magazine and the CNC machine tool that are easy to install are arranged with a telescopic assembly on the inner side behind the left clamp and the right clamp, one end of the telescopic assembly is connected to the left clamp, and the other end is connected to the right clamp, so that the left clamp and the right clamp can complete the replacement of the spindle tool under the action of the telescopic assembly. The replacement of the spindle tool is realized by replacing the driving assembly with a telescopic assembly, and the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is relatively low.

[0005] However, when the device is installed on the knife claw, multiple bolts are used for fixing, which is inconvenient for installing and disassembling the knife claw.

[0006] For this reason, we urgently need to provide a kind of tool claw of the tool magazine of numerical control machine tool that is easy to install. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution: Embodiment 1:

[0027] A tool claw of a tool magazine of a numerical control machine tool which is easy to install comprises a tool claw 1, wherein a mounting device is arranged inside the tool claw 1.

[0028] The mounting device comprises a separation unit and a clamping unit. The separation unit is arranged on the left side inside the knife claw 1 , and the clamping unit is arranged on the right side of the knife claw 1 .

[0029] The separation unit includes a telescopic rod 201, a first spring 202, a bidirectional screw rod 203, a guide rod 204, a moving block 205 and a clamping plate 206. A mounting groove is provided on the left side of the inside of the knife claw 1. The telescopic rod 201 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inside of the knife claw 1. A convex block is provided on the right side of the telescopic rod 201, and the diameter of the convex block is larger than the outer diameter of the first spring 202. The telescopic rod 201 is extended and retracted by squeezing the first spring 202 by the convex block. The first spring 202 is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod 201. The bidirectional screw rod 203 is installed on the left side of the inside of the knife claw 1 and is located at the upper end of the first spring 202. The guide rod 204 is fixedly installed on the left side of the inside of the knife claw 1 and is located on the left side of the two-way screw rod 203. The moving block 205 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the two-way screw rod 203 and is located at the front and rear ends of the two-way screw rod 203. A through groove equal to the size of the guide rod 204 is opened on the left side inside the moving block 205. The guide rod 204 passes through the through groove. By rotating the two-way screw rod 203, the two moving blocks 205 move along the guide rod 204, so that the splint 206 pushes the clamping leg 210 out of the knife claw 1, which is convenient for the disassembly of the knife claw 1. The splint 206 is fixedly installed on the right side of the moving block 205.

[0030] The clamping unit includes a clamping block 207, a fixing rod 208, a stopper 209, a clamping leg 210 and a second spring 211. The clamping block 207 is arranged on the right side of the knife claw 1. A placement slot is provided on the left side of the clamping block 207. The fixing rod 208 is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the right side of the clamping block 207. The stopper 209 is fixedly installed in the middle of the knife claw 1 and the front and rear ends are fixedly connected to the fixing rod 208. The clamping leg 210 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixing rod 208 and is located at the front and rear sides of the stopper 209. The left side of the clamping leg 210 is an inclined surface, and a mounting hole is provided on the right side of the clamping leg 210. The fixing rod 209 is fixedly installed in the middle of the knife claw 1 and the front and rear ends are fixedly connected to the fixing rod 208. The clamping leg 210 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixing rod 208 and is located at the front and rear sides of the stopper 209. The left side of the clamping leg 210 is an inclined surface, and a mounting hole is provided on the right side of the clamping leg 210. 208 passes through the mounting hole, so that the clamping leg 210 moves along the fixing rod 208, and contacts the inner groove on the right side of the knife claw 1 through the oblique edges on both sides of the clamping leg 210, pushing the clamping leg 210 to squeeze the second spring 211, so that the clamping leg 210 moves along the fixing rod 208, so that the clamping leg 210 enters the knife claw 1 to fix the knife claw 1, and the second spring 211 is sleeved on the outer surface of the fixing rod 208 and is located between the stopper 209 and the clamping leg 210. When the clamping leg 210 enters the knife claw 1, the second spring 211 stretches the clamping leg 210 outward, thereby clamping it with the inner wall of the knife claw 1. Embodiment 2:

[0031] On the basis of Example 1: a fixing device is provided on the right side of the block 207, the fixing device includes an upper metal plate 301, a lower metal plate 302, a bolt 303 and a nut 304, the upper metal plate 301 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the right side of the block 207, the lower metal plate 302 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the right side of the block 207, the bolt 303 is threadedly connected to the upper metal plate 301 and the lower metal plate 302, and the nut 304 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the bolt 303.

[0032] When in use, the clamping block 207 is installed at the desired position by means of the bolt 303 penetrating the upper metal plate 301 and the lower metal plate 302. When the knife claw 1 needs to be installed, the clamping leg 210 is inserted into the installation groove provided in the knife claw 1, and the clamping leg 210 is extended outward in cooperation with the second spring 211, so as to be clamped with the inner wall of the knife claw 1. At the same time, the clamping leg 210 pushes the telescopic rod 201 to squeeze the first spring 202 during the process of extending the clamping leg 210 into the interior of the knife claw 1, so that the first spring 202 applies a thrust to the clamping leg 210, so that the clamping leg 210 and the knife claw 1 are tightly matched. When the knife claw 1 needs to be disassembled, the two moving blocks 205 are moved along the guide rod 204 by rotating the bidirectional screw rod 203, so that the clamping plate 206 pushes the clamping leg 210 to move inward, and the knife claw 1 is pushed out in cooperation with the first spring 202, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the knife claw 1.
