[0002] When a CNC milling machine is processing, according to different processing dimensions, milling cutters of different sizes are needed. After the milling cutters are used, they need to be placed inside a storage box.
[0003] The existing milling cutters of CNC milling machines are generally stored in a storage box. When a milling cutter needs to be taken, it is difficult to observe the milling cutter from the outside, and the size and state of the milling cutter cannot be judged only from the appearance at the upper end of the milling cutter. Therefore, it is necessary to find the milling cutter by repeatedly opening the storage box to take out the milling cutter and observing whether it is the required milling cutter. Moreover, once the taken-out milling cutter is not suitable, it needs to be put back and then another milling cutter is taken out. Therefore, the whole step of finding the milling cutter is relatively complex, which affects the taking efficiency of the milling cutter.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a milling cutter storage box for a CNC milling machine to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] To solve the technical problem that the steps of finding a milling cutter in the existing milling cutter storage box are relatively complex and affect the taking efficiency of the milling cutter, the utility model provides a milling cutter storage box for a CNC milling machine.
[0006] The milling cutter storage box for a CNC milling machine provided by the utility model includes:
[0007] A storage component, the storage component includes a storage box;
[0008] A movable component, the movable component includes a transparent storage box placed inside the storage box, a storage groove opened inside the transparent storage box, support frames connected to the lower ends on both sides of the transparent storage box, a baffle connected to the central position inside the support frames, first telescopic springs connected to both sides of the baffle, movable blocks connected to the outer sides of the first telescopic springs, chutes opened on both sides of the storage box, and fixing grooves opened at the lower ends on both sides of the storage box.

[0016] Compared with the related art, a milling cutter storage box for a CNC milling machine provided by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. When it is necessary to observe the milling cutter under normal circumstances, it is necessary to take out a single milling cutter from the inside of the storage box for observation, and then put the single milling cutter back into the storage box after the observation. This operation is relatively cumbersome. When it is necessary to observe the milling cutter in this application, by moving the transparent storage box upward from the inside of the storage box, the multiple groups of milling cutters inside the transparent storage box are moved upward from the inside of the storage box, so that multiple groups of milling cutters can be observed. And after the observation is completed, it is only necessary to fix the transparent storage box inside the storage box, without taking out the milling cutters one by one downward, which is convenient to use;
[0018] 2. The present utility model is provided with a fixing component. By placing the milling cutter on the upper end of the first stopper inside the transparent storage box, making the bottom end of the second stopper contact the upper end of the milling cutter, and then turning the knob, the knob drives the fixing plate to move inward into the transparent storage box, so that the second stopper drives the milling cutter to move downward. The movement of the milling cutter respectively drives the second telescopic spring and the third telescopic spring to be compressed through the first stopper and the second stopper, so that the milling cutter is clamped and fixed inside the transparent storage box by the first stopper and the second stopper under the elastic force of the second telescopic spring and the third telescopic spring and will not shake.

[0044] When the first stop block 32 and the second stop block 35 are respectively in contact with both ends of the milling cutter, the second telescopic spring 31 and the third telescopic spring 34 will maintain equal elastic forces without external forces;
[0045] Working principle: When the milling cutter needs to be taken, it is necessary to first judge the size and state of the milling cutter, apply an inward force to the movable block 26 to make the movable block 26 move into the support frame 23. The movement of the movable block 26 drives the first telescopic spring 25 to be compressed to generate elastic force, and when the movable block 26 moves to the inside of the support frame 23, the movable block 26 disengages from the inside of the fixed groove 28. Then apply an upward force to the support frame 23 to make the support frame 23 move upward along the sliding groove 27. The movement of the support frame 23 drives the transparent storage box 21 to move downward along the storage groove 12. When the support frame 23 moves to the upper end of the sliding groove 27, the transparent storage box 21 moves to the upper end position of the storage box 11, and the milling cutter inside the transparent storage box 21 can be observed;
[0046] When it is necessary to fix the milling cutter inside the transparent storage box 21, place the milling cutter inside the storage groove 22 and at the upper end position of the first stop block 32. Then, place the fixing plate 33 at the upper end position inside the storage groove 22, and make the bottom end of the second stop block 35 contact the top end of the milling cutter. Then, apply a rotational force to the knob 36 to drive the fixing plate 33 to rotate. The fixing plate 33 drives the third telescopic spring 34 and the second stop block 35 to move downward through the threaded structure. The second stop block 35 drives the milling cutter to move downward. At this time, the downward movement of the milling cutter drives the first stop block 32 to move downward and compresses the second telescopic spring 31. Since the two telescopic springs will maintain equal elastic forces when not under external forces, the second telescopic spring 31 and the third telescopic spring 34 maintain equal elastic forces, so that the milling cutter can be clamped and fixed by the first stop block 32 and the second stop block 35 through the second telescopic spring 31 and the third telescopic spring 34.
