DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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.

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a rotatable and liftable manual tool magazine, comprising a tool magazine body 6, a turntable mechanism 1 installed on the top of the tool magazine body 6, a positioning mechanism 3 installed on the axis of the turntable mechanism 1, and multiple groups of grasping mechanisms 2 installed on the turntable mechanism 1 and arranged in a circular array with the positioning mechanism 3 as the center. The grasping mechanism 2 in the present application is provided with four groups to form a four-station tool magazine.

[0020] The turntable mechanism 1 includes a turntable bearing 12, a turntable 11 sleeved on the outer ring of the turntable bearing 12, and a mounting plate 16 embedded in the inner ring of the turntable bearing 12, so that the mounting plate 16 does not rotate, and the turntable 11 rotates. The mounting plate 16 is fixed on the tool magazine body 6, and the positioning mechanism 3 is installed at the center position of the mounting plate 16. A plurality of positioning seats 13 aligned with the positioning mechanism 3 are installed on the turntable 11, and a socket is provided on the positioning seat 13. A cylinder 5 is installed on one side of the tool magazine body 6, and a tool 4 is clamped on the grabbing mechanism 2, and the cylinder 5 is installed below the tool 4.

[0021] Specifically, the tool magazine also includes a foot pump 8 connected to the oil cylinder 5. First, when the machine tool needs to change the tool, the tool changing position of the tool magazine is connected to the oil cylinder 5 through the foot pump 8. The oil cylinder 5 is connected to the spring column 24 under the manipulator at the tool changing position. Under the action of oil pressure, the manipulator is lifted up and waits for the machine tool to reach the tool changing position for tool changing. When the machine tool reaches the tool changing position, after waiting for the spindle to release the tool, the foot pump 8 is stepped on to release the pressure. The grabbing mechanism 2 returns to its original position under the action of the spring and gravity, and then the positioning pin 34 is pulled out, and the turntable 11 is manually turned to rotate the required tool to the tool changing position, and then the positioning pin 34 is inserted, and the foot pump 8 is stepped on to make the grabbing mechanism 2 drive the tool 4 to rise. After the machine tool spindle fixes the tool and moves it away, the pressure of the foot pump 8 is released, and the grabbing mechanism 2 returns to its original position.

[0022] The mounting plate 16 is fixed to the tool magazine body 6 by bolts. The tool magazine body 6 includes a base 61, on which a tool magazine seat 62 is fixed. The tool magazine seat 62 is provided with a plurality of third mounting holes 63. The mounting plate 16 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 15. The third mounting holes 63 and the second mounting holes 15 are both arranged in a circular array, and six of them are arranged, and the third mounting holes 63 and the second mounting holes 15 are aligned. One end of the bolt passes through the second mounting hole 15 and is threadedly connected to the inside of the third mounting hole 63, so as to facilitate the installation of the turntable mechanism 1.

[0023] A cylinder support seat 64 is fixedly mounted on one side of the tool magazine seat 62, and the cylinder 5 is mounted on the cylinder support seat 64. A plurality of matrix-arranged feet 7 are mounted on the bottom of the base 61, and the feet 7 are used to support the tool magazine.

[0024] The positioning mechanism 3 includes a fixing plate 31 mounted on the mounting plate 16 by bolts. The fixing plate 31 is located at the center of the mounting plate 16. A plurality of U-shaped holes 32 are formed on the fixing plate 31. A plurality of first mounting holes 14 are formed on the mounting plate 16. One end of the bolt passes through the U-shaped hole 32 and is threadedly connected to the inside of the first mounting hole 14. Four U-shaped holes 32 are arranged in an annular array, and four first mounting holes 14 are also arranged in an annular array. The first mounting holes 14 are aligned with the U-shaped holes 32.

[0025] A support frame 33 is welded on the fixing plate 31 , and a positioning pin 34 is slidably mounted on one end of the top of the support frame 33 . The positioning pin 34 can move up and down, and the positioning pin 34 is aligned with the positioning seat 13 .

[0026] The gripping mechanism 2 includes a plurality of mounting seats 21 fixed on the rotating disk 11, and a through slot 22 is provided on the mounting seat 21, and a mechanical clamp 23 is slidably installed inside the through slot 22, that is, the mechanical clamp 23 can be raised and lowered, and a spring column 24 is connected to the bottom of the mounting seat 21, and the bottom of the spring column 24 is aligned with one end of the piston rod of the oil cylinder 5. The mechanical clamp 23 can be lifted upward by the oil cylinder 5, thereby realizing the lifting of the tool 4.

[0027] When using the tool magazine to replace the tool 4, lift the positioning pin 34 upwards, rotate the turntable 11, drive the grabbing mechanism 2 to rotate, and then drive the clamped tool 4 on the mechanical clamp 23 to move to the top of the cylinder 5, and the piston rod of the cylinder 5 is aligned with the spring column 24 on the grabbing mechanism 2 that clamps the tool 4, and then position the turntable 11 through the positioning mechanism 3, loosen the positioning pin 34, and insert the positioning pin 34 into the hole on the positioning seat 13 to achieve the positioning of the turntable bearing 12, and then achieve the positioning of the tool 4, so that it will not move or shake laterally;

[0028] Finally, the oil cylinder 5 is started, and the oil cylinder 5 pushes the spring column 24 upward, so that the spring column 24 pushes the mechanical clamp 23 to move upward, thereby driving the tool 4 to be lifted up, and then the tool 4 can be replaced.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
