[0010] Figure 1 It is the main view of the utility model.

[0011] Description of reference numerals:

[0012] 1 tailstock, 2 mounting slot, 3 rotating shaft, 4 cutter head, 5 cutter, 6 gear ring, 7 rotating motor, 8 driving gear, 9 infrared transmitter, 10 bracket, 11 infrared receiver, 12 control panel, 13 top cylinder, 14 latch, 15 latch hole. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0015] See Figure 1 A tool changing device for a tailstock of a machine tool comprises a tailstock 1, a mounting groove 2 is provided inside the tailstock 1, a rotating shaft 3 is provided between the left and right inner walls of the mounting groove 2, a cutter disc 4 with a circular structure is provided on the rotating shaft 3, four tools 5 are provided at equal intervals outside the cutter disc 4, a gear ring 6 is provided on the surface of the cutter disc 4, a rotating motor 7 is provided on the outside of the tailstock 1, the output shaft of the rotating motor 7 extends into the mounting groove 2, and a driving gear 8 is provided, and the driving gear 8 is meshed with the gear ring 6 for transmission connection. Specifically, when the tool 5 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to start the rotating motor 7, and the driving gear 8 drives the gear ring 6 to rotate, thereby driving the cutter disc 4 to rotate, and the required tool is rotated to the front and then stopped. The whole process is simple and effective, which simplifies the tool changing process and improves work efficiency. The rotating motor 7 is preferably a stepping motor or a servo motor, which is easy to set up and control.

[0016] In this embodiment, four infrared emitters 9 are mounted on the outer end surface of the driving gear 8, each positioned corresponding to a cutting tool 5. A bracket 10 is positioned within the mounting slot, and an infrared receiver 11 is mounted on the bracket 10. The infrared emitters 9 and receiver 11 enable the cutterhead 4 to rotate more precisely, facilitating the use of the cutting tools.

[0017] In this embodiment, a control panel 12 is provided on the side of the tailstock 1. The control panel 12 is used to set and control the rotary motor 7, the infrared transmitter 9 and the infrared receiver 11.
