Detailed Embodiment
[0014] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.
[0015] Please refer to Figures 1-3, a vertical turning center tool magazine of the utility model, includes a machining center 1. On one side inside the machining center 1, a tool magazine plate 2 is provided. On one side of the tool magazine plate 2 and on the side wall near the bottom edge, a moving plate 5 is fixedly connected. Inside the tool magazine plate 2, receiving grooves 4 are evenly opened. In each receiving groove 4, a follower column 10 is telescopically and movably connected. Inside the machining center 1 and below the tool magazine plate 2, an electric telescopic rod 15 is detachably and inlaid.
[0016] The top opening of the receiving groove 4 is stepped, the cover plate 16 is of a convex structure, the inside of the receiving groove 4 is a through cylindrical structure. On the bottom edge inside the receiving groove 4, a supporting plate 13 is fixedly connected. The supporting plate 13 is of an annular structure. On the top side wall of the supporting plate 13, a circle of reset springs 14 are evenly fixedly connected. The top ends of the reset springs 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the follower column 10. Inside the follower column 10, a tool head slot 11 is opened, and a tool head is inserted into the tool head slot 11. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 15 corresponds to the center point of the supporting plate 13. A limiting rod 3 is inserted through the moving plate 5. The limiting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the opposite side walls inside the machining center 1 at both ends. The diameters of the receiving grooves 4 are different. On the top side wall of the moving plate 5, a rack 6 is fixedly connected. On the top of the moving plate 5 and on the side wall near the tool magazine plate 2, a stop bar 7 is fixedly connected. A driving gear 8 is meshed with the rack 6. Inside the machining center 1 and on the side wall opposite to the driving gear 8, a motor 9 is detachably and inlaid. The output end of the motor 9 is detachably connected to the middle of one side wall of the driving gear 8.
[0017] As the preferred technical effect of this solution: Before machining, the motor 9 is started in advance to drive the driving gear 8 to drive the moving plate 5 and the tool magazine plate 2 to rotate, so that the corresponding receiving groove 4 can be quickly moved to the designated position. When replacement is needed, during the movement of the machining head, the electric telescopic rod 15 is started to eject the follower column 10 and the tool head inserted into the tool head slot 11 from the receiving groove 4, which can effectively improve the replacement efficiency. If there is already a tool head on the machining head itself, then first eject the empty follower column 10 in the above way to remove the original tool head, and then eject and replace the new tool head in the above way. In the normal state, the tool head is hidden in the receiving groove 4, which can avoid being affected by the coolant and flying debris.
[0018] On one side edge of the top of the follower column 10, a top plate 12 is fixedly connected. And the top opening of each receiving groove 4 is rotatably connected with a cover plate 16 through a torsion spring.
[0019] The preferred technical effect of this solution is as follows: To prevent the cutter head from being damaged when it rises due to collision with the cover plate 16, a top plate 12 is connected to the follower post 10, and the top plate 12 is higher than the cutter head. In this way, when the follower post 10 is lifted, the top plate 12 will first contact the cover plate 16 and push it open, thus preventing the cutter head from contacting the cover plate 16 and causing wear to the cutter head. The reset spring 14 can pull the follower post 10 to descend synchronously when the electric telescopic rod 15 retracts, so as to retract the follower post 10 into the storage groove 4 and wait for the next use.
[0020] Specifically, when the present utility model is in use and the cutter head needs to be replaced, first start the motor 9. Through the transmission of the driving gear 8 and the rack 6, the tool magazine plate 2 is driven to move along the limiting rod 3, so as to move the corresponding storage groove 4 to the designated position, that is, directly above the electric telescopic rod 15. Then start the electric telescopic rod 15, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 15 extends into the storage groove 4 from the middle of the supporting plate 13, so that the follower post 10 can be pushed upward. As the follower post 10 rises, the top plate 12 will push the cover plate 16 open, and then the cutter head follows the follower post 10 to rise and extend out of the storage groove 4. The processing head moves above the cutter head through its driving assembly and is connected to the cutter head. When there is a cutter head on the processing head, first push out the empty follower post 10 in the above-mentioned manner. After the processing head puts the original cutter head back into the cutter head slot 11, then push out the new cutter head in the above-mentioned manner. Thus, the replacement of the cutter head is completed. The transmission in the whole process is very fast, and the cutter head is hidden in the storage groove 4 under normal conditions, which can achieve comprehensive protection of the cutter head and prevent the cutter head from being damaged during the processing.
[0021] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Other parts not detailed in the present utility model belong to the prior art, so they will not be elaborated here.
[0023] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit it; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model.
