[0041] Working Principle: First, cylinder 19 begins operating, pushing telescopic column 10 outward and driving connecting plate 11 forward. At this point, motor 14 in the drive assembly is also activated, and rotating column 15 begins to rotate, driving rotating plate 17 and fan-shaped wheel 18 to move. Gear 19 engages with fan-shaped wheel 18, further transmitting power to rotate rotating plate 21. It rotates to the groove of the cutter head, and spring 4 of connecting block 3 is compressed. At this time, the stop ball 5 moves outward under the action of spring 4, releasing the cutter head 6 from connecting block 3, allowing it to be replaced. The entire process is highly automated, effectively reducing manual intervention, improving production efficiency, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of tool replacement. After the tool change is completed, the fixture immediately enters the next processing cycle and continues the CNC machining task.
[0042] Cylinder 2 (24) is also activated, extending telescopic column 2 (25) outward, pushing slide 26 along fixed bar 23. This causes clamping blocks 1 (33) and 2 (36) to open and clamp the new tool. After clamping blocks 1 (33) and 2 (36) secure the new tool, motor 2 (31) begins operating, rotating column 2 (32) and rotating clamping block 1 (33), ensuring the tool is securely clamped.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
