[0002] A CNC lathe is a powerful, high-precision machining machine that uses a computer program to control the tool. According to a predetermined program, the tool is fed and retracted to the workpiece, automatically completing the cutting work. In order to facilitate the machining of the workpiece and ensure the machining efficiency of the workpiece, a rotating tool holder is provided on the CNC machine tool. The tool holder has a number of tool holders, each of which is equipped with a corresponding tool. During the machining process, the tool holder is rotated to select the tool required for the current machining.

[0003] Application number CN202321759855.3 relates to a tool holder that improves the efficiency of tool changing and tool setting, including structures such as a rotating tool holder on a CNC lathe; the turning tool of the utility model is fixed on the axial tool holder through a radial tool holder, and the radial tool holder is replaced together with the turning tool when the tool is replaced. Since the relative positions of the axial tool holder and the radial tool holder are fixed, there is no need to align the tool again when the tool is replaced, which reduces the tool changing and tool setting time and improves the processing efficiency of the lathe. However, there are certain problems when the utility model is used specifically, such as: many tools are exposed to the working environment, and then they will be attached by dust in the environment while waiting for the tool changing operation, which affects the smooth installation of the tool. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology.

[0006] The tool holder is actuated by a plurality of guide rails, the guide rails being arranged on a rear side of the tool holder and being connected to the guide rails by a plurality of guide rails.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the tool mounting seat in the external CNC lathe takes the tool in the tool library, the motor drives the tool disk and multiple tool holders to rotate with the connecting plate, and then the camera records and uploads the tool movement position. When the required tool moves to a position parallel to the guide support shell, the external control system shuts down the motor, then starts the cylinder, and then the push rod pushes the tool to be used into the guide support shell, and then erects it along the inner wall of the guide support shell. At this time, the tool is taken away by the tool mounting seat, and each tool is well protected without affecting the tool changing operation, thereby ensuring that the tool changing operation can be carried out smoothly.

[0008] In a preferred example, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the solid support frame is configured to be H-shaped, and the solid support frame is made of metal material.

[0009] In a preferred example, the utility model can be further configured as follows: the connecting plate is arranged at the front side of the tool magazine, and the tool disc and the connecting plate are both made of transparent materials.

[0010] In a preferred example, the utility model can be further configured as follows: a wiping assembly is provided on the top of the guide support shell, and the wiping assembly includes a pressure cover connected to the top of the guide support shell, and a cotton pad connected to the inner wall of the guide support shell and the inner wall of the pressure cover.

[0011] In a preferred example, the utility model can be further configured as follows: a rubber pad is installed inside the tool magazine, and a plurality of tool holders are located in front of the rubber pad.

[0012] In a preferred example, the utility model can be further configured as follows: two connecting pieces are connected between the tool magazine and the solid support frame, the two connecting pieces are laterally symmetrical with respect to the motor, and a plurality of threaded holes are formed on the connecting pieces.

[0013] In a preferred example, the utility model can be further configured as follows: two limit rings are installed on the guide support shell, and the two limit rings are arranged vertically.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In the utility model, when the tool mounting seat in the external CNC lathe takes the tool in the tool library, the motor drives the tool disc and multiple tool holders to rotate with a connecting plate, and then the camera records and uploads the tool movement position. When the required tool moves to a position parallel to the guide support shell, the external control system shuts down the motor, then starts the cylinder, and then the push rod pushes the tool to be used into the guide support shell, and then stands upright along the inner wall of the guide support shell. At this time, the tool is taken away by the tool mounting seat, and each tool is well protected without affecting the tool changing operation, thereby ensuring that the tool changing operation can be carried out smoothly.

[0016] 2. In the utility model, when returning a used tool, the tool mounting seat returns the tool to the guide support shell, and then the tool slides down along the guide support shell and is laid flat, and then the movable end of the cylinder is controlled to retract, and then the push rod uses a connecting rod to pull the pressure rod to move, and the pressure rod squeezes the tool in the guide support shell, so that the tool is reinserted into the tool holder, and the used tool can return to a relatively closed space, effectively preventing the tool from being attached to dust.

[0040] The working principle and use process of the utility model: when the device is put into actual use, multiple tool holders 130 are placed with tools of different models, and then the electrical components in the device are connected to the control system of the external CNC lathe. This operation is completed by a technician in the field. Then, when the tool mounting seat in the external CNC lathe approaches and the tool is taken, the motor 150 uses the connecting plate 160 to control the tool disc 120 and multiple tool holders 130 to rotate, and then the camera 190 records and uploads the tool movement position. When the taken tool moves to a position parallel to the guide support shell 220, the external control system shuts down the motor 150 and then starts the cylinder 170, then the push rod 180 pushes the tool to be used into the guide support shell 220, and then stands upright along the inner wall of the guide support shell 220. At this time, the tool is taken away by the tool mounting seat, and each tool is well protected without affecting the tool changing operation, so that the tool changing operation can be carried out smoothly. Then, when returning the used tool, the tool mounting seat returns the tool to the guide support shell 220, and then the tool slides down along the guide support shell 220 and is laid flat. Then the movable end of the control cylinder 170 is retracted, and then the push rod 180 uses the connecting rod 240 to pull the pressure rod 230 to move, and the pressure rod 230 squeezes the tool in the guide support shell 220, so that the tool is reinserted into the tool holder 130.
