Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lathes, and particularly relates to a tool changing device for a machine tool. Background Art
[0002] An automatic tool changing device is usually provided on existing numerically controlled lathes. Among them, a rotary tool changing device is a commonly used type of tool changing device. The rotary tool changing device realizes the tool changing process through the rotation of a tool disc (tool rest).
[0003] Multiple tool mounting positions are usually provided on the tool disc (tool rest). The tool disc can mount multiple tools at the same time. During the machining process, the control system will automatically select a suitable tool for cutting operation according to the machining requirements.
[0004] The mounting methods of the tools corresponding to different machining purposes are also completely different. When performing external turning on a workpiece, an external turning tool is required. Since the external turning tool feeds along the radial direction of the workpiece, the external turning tool is mounted along the radial direction of the workpiece during installation; when machining a center hole of the workpiece, a drilling tool is required. Since the drilling tool feeds along the axial direction of the workpiece during the machining process, the drilling tool needs to be mounted along the axial direction of the workpiece.
[0005] However, for some miniaturized numerically controlled lathes, due to size limitations, the diameter of their tool disc (tool rest) is relatively small, the number of tool mounting positions on the tool disc is also relatively small (usually 4 - 8), and each tool mounting position can usually only achieve one mounting method. This leads to certain limitations on the mounting methods of the tools on the tool disc, poor mounting compatibility for the tools, and inability to flexibly adjust the mounting method of the tool according to needs at any tool mounting position, bringing certain inconvenience to actual machining.
