Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of workshop storage equipment, in particular to a tool cabinet for facilitating tool replacement. Background Technique
[0002] In machining, tools are one of the essential tools. With the accumulation of machining time, some parts of the tool will show varying degrees of wear, thus affecting machining accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, regularly replacing worn tools or their components is a key step to ensure machining quality. Tool replacement not only requires professional tools but also precise operation procedures to ensure that the replaced tool can continue to meet machining requirements.
[0003] Taking the replacement of the cutting edge on the tool as an example, the specific process is as follows: First, insert the tool to be replaced into the tool locking seat for fixation; then, use a dial indicator to check the radial runout of the tool to ensure that the concentricity of the tool meets the requirements; then, remove the worn cutting edge and install a new one; finally, use the dial indicator again to check whether the assembled tool meets the specified precision standard. This series of operations requires precision and meticulousness to ensure that each step meets the process requirements.
[0004] The technical problem existing in the prior art is that tools or equipment such as tools, tool locking seats, and dial indicators in the production site are usually independent of each other. When replacing tools, the staff needs to move the tool and the parts to be replaced back and forth, and also needs to pick up the dial indicator again for inspection after assembly. In the case of a large number of workpieces and cumbersome operation steps, it not only increases the workload of the staff but also reduces work efficiency. In addition, frequent moving and searching for tools also increase the risk of misoperation, further affecting machining quality and production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a tool cabinet that can facilitate tool replacement to simplify the replacement process and improve work efficiency. Content of the Utility Model
