[0036] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides a tool holder structure for a CNC machine tool. The tool holder structure of the CNC machine tool includes a tool fixing portion 1, a main body 2, and a fixed base plate 3 arranged from top to bottom. The upper end surface of the tool fixing portion 1 is formed with a plurality of tool guide rails 11, which are used to assemble tools. The main body 2 is provided with avoidance grooves 20 on two opposite sides, and a weight-reducing cavity 200 is formed in the main body 2. The fixed base plate 3 is provided with two connecting holes 300 that correspond to the two avoidance grooves 20, respectively, and the connecting holes 300 are used to screw in mounting bolts. Among them, the upper end surface of the tool fixing portion 1 refers to the end surface of the tool fixing portion 1 facing away from the main body 2. A plurality of tool rails are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the tool fixing portion 1, for example, 4 or 5 tool rails are provided, and the specific arrangement depends on actual needs. The weight-reducing cavity 200 formed within the body 2 makes the tool holder structure lightweight and reduces costs. Furthermore, the provision of the relief groove 20 and connecting hole 300 facilitates bolt fastening of the tool holder structure. During assembly, the bolts are threaded through the relief groove 20 into the connecting hole 300 and then into the CNC machine tool body. The relief groove 20 provides space for the bolts. Compared to existing tool holder structures, this CNC machine tool tool holder structure offers greater stability and lower costs.
[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, preferably, a side wall of the avoidance groove 20 near the tool fixing portion 1 forms an avoidance slope 201, which slopes downward from the outside to the inside. The inclination of the side wall of the avoidance groove 20 aligns with the screwing direction of the mounting bolt, thereby minimizing interference with the mounting bolt during installation and maximizing the space of the weight-reducing cavity 200 within the body 2.
[0038] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, specifically, the body 2 includes two side panels 21 arranged opposite to each other and two end panels 22 arranged between the two side panels 21. The two end panels 22 between the two side panels 21 surround the peripheral wall of the body 2, and the peripheral wall is located between the fixed base plate 3 and the tool fixing portion 1. An intermediate body 23 is also connected between the two side panels 21. The intermediate body 23 is spaced between the two end panels 22, and the two sides of the intermediate body 23 near the two side panels 21 are respectively provided with a first groove 230. The two side panels 21 are respectively provided with a through hole 210, and each through hole 210 is connected to a first groove 230 to form an avoidance groove 20. That is, the two side panels 21 and the two end panels 22 surround the peripheral wall of the body 2, that is, the body 2 is hollow. Under the above structure, the body 2 uses less material, is lighter in weight, and has better stability. The first groove 230 on the intermediate body 23 provides avoidance space and can ensure the stability of the body 2 structure.
[0039] More specifically, the tool fixing part 1, the body 2 and the fixing base plate 3 are integrally cast. Two first process holes 30 communicating with the weight reduction cavity 200 are formed in the fixing base plate 3, and the connecting hole 300 is located between the two first process holes 30. The integral molding of the tool fixing part 1, the body 2 and the fixing base plate 3 results in a relatively high overall structural strength and better stability of the tool rest structure, and it is also easy to process. The arrangement of the first process holes 30 is suitable for the casting process and facilitates the formation of the weight reduction cavity 200.
[0040] In this embodiment, a support plate 24 is further connected between the two side plates 21. The two ends of the support plate 24 are respectively connected to the intermediate body 23 and the tool fixing part 1, and a second process hole 240 is formed in the support plate 24. That is, the support plate 24 is supported between the lower end faces of the intermediate body 23 and the tool fixing part 1 to ensure the overall structural strength and stability of the tool rest structure, and to prevent the tool fixing part 1 from sagging or the body 2 from deforming, etc. Preferably, the two sides of the support plate 24 are connected to the two side plates 21 of the body 2. The intermediate body 23 and the support plate 24 divide the weight reduction cavity 200 into two cavities. To ensure the smooth progress of casting, the second process hole 240 is provided on the support plate 24, so that the tool rest structure can be successfully formed during casting.
[0041] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, both sides of the tool fixing part 1 protrude outward from the plane where both sides of the body 2 are located. At least one reinforcing block 4 is connected between the outer wall of each side plate 21 and the lower end face of the tool fixing part 1. By the outward extension of both sides of the tool fixing part , the upper end face area of the tool fixing part 1 is relatively large, so that more tool tracks can be set, that is, multiple tools can be loaded simultaneously, which is beneficial to improving the processing efficiency. At the same time, by providing the reinforcing block 4, sufficient support is provided for the tool fixing part 1, enabling the tool fixing part 1 to carry more tools and ensuring the stability of tool processing. Exemplarily, when the tool fixing part 1 has the same width as the body 2, 3 tool tracks can be set. By outward extension and providing the reinforcing block 4, 4 or 5 tool tracks can be set.
[0042] Specifically, an L-shaped groove 2100 is formed at one end of each side plate 21 close to the tool fixing part 1. The notch of the L-shaped groove 2100 faces outward, and the reinforcing block 4 is connected in the L-shaped groove 2100. The arrangement of the L-shaped groove 2100 further improves the structural strengthening effect of the reinforcing block 4 on the tool fixing part 1, that is, the lower end of the reinforcing block 4 abuts against the groove wall of the L-shaped groove 2100, reducing the possibility of deformation of the reinforcing block 4.
[0043] In this embodiment, the upper end surface of the reinforcing block 4 fits the lower end surface of the tool fixing part 1, the lower end surface of the reinforcing block 4 fits one side wall of the L-shaped groove 2100, the inner side surface of the reinforcing block 4 fits the other side wall of the L-shaped groove 2100, and the outer side surface of the reinforcing block 4 forms a reinforcing inclined surface which inclines inwards from top to bottom. When the tool fixing part 1 is stressed, the part of the tool fixing part 1 extending out of the plane where the main body 2 is located is supported by the reinforcing block 4, avoiding large vibration deformation. Moreover, the reinforcing block 4 has good load-bearing performance under the support of the L-shaped groove 2100, so that the overall stability of the tool rest structure is better, which is beneficial to improving the machining accuracy and reliability of the CNC machine tool.
[0044] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, both ends of the fixed bottom plate 3 respectively protrude and extend outwards from the plane where the two end plates 22 are located, increasing the bottom area of the fixed bottom plate 3, that is, increasing the connection area between the fixed bottom plate 3 and the CNC machine tool body 2, thereby improving the stability of the tool structure. Preferably, the part of the fixed bottom plate 3 protruding from the plane where the end plate 22 is located is provided with fixing holes 50. The fixing holes 50 are used for screwing in bolts. That is, when installing this tool rest structure, multiple installation bolts are used for fixing. Among them, multiple installation bolts are respectively screwed into multiple fixing holes 50, and multiple installation bolts are respectively screwed into multiple connection holes 300, further strengthening the stability of the tool rest structure, thereby improving the overall machining accuracy and reliability of the CNC machine tool.
[0045] In order to verify the stability of this tool rest structure, using finite element analysis software, a finite element model of the existing tool rest structure and a finite element model of the tool rest structure provided in this embodiment are established. Through numerical simulation and analysis, taking the first-order frequency, maximum deformation and mass of the tool rest structure as the measurement criteria, the performance comparison results of the existing tool rest structure and the tool rest structure provided in this embodiment are as follows:
[0046]
[0047] As can be seen from the above table, the first-order frequency is increased from 381.33 Hz to 508.98 Hz, an increase of 36.33%, the maximum deformation is reduced from 0.0028 mm to 0.0017 mm, a reduction of 39.28%, and the mass is reduced by 17.13% on the original basis. It can be seen that the tool rest structure provided in this embodiment has good stability and structural strength, and at the same time, the manufacturing cost is relatively low.
[0048] Note that the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, re-adjustments, and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, although the present utility model has been described in more detail through the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments only. Without departing from the concept of the present utility model, more other equivalent embodiments can be included, and the scope of the present utility model is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
