[0003] In the existing tool-beating cylinder structure, pneumatic booster is used to push the hydraulic piston to move and simultaneously push the top tool block to move. When the top tool block presses the tool-changing rod, the pulling claw at the front end of the tool-changing rod is stretched open and the tool handle falls off; when the top tool block retracts, the tool-changing rod is reset under the action of the spring, the pulling claw is tightened and pulls the tool handle, completing the spindle tool change.
[0004] Since the replaced tool is in a high-speed rotating state with the spindle, the tool changing rod will also rotate synchronously with the tool in an instant. The tool changing rod reset under the action of the spring retracts at a faster speed, and the top cutter block is fixed on the hydraulic piston, so that the rear end face of the tool changing rod will come into contact with the front end face of the top cutter block, causing a dry friction condition between the tool changing rod and the top cutter block. This condition will continue until the top cutter block is completely reset and loses contact with the tool changing rod. Over time, it will cause serious wear of the parts of the tool cylinder, affecting the normal use of the tool cylinder. Utility Model Content

[0018] A hydraulic piston 4 is provided in the inner hole of the movable sleeve 3 above the inner step 3-1, which is pressed downward by an external force. The hydraulic piston 4 includes a piston part 4-1 and an annular part 4-2 of an integral structure. The diameter of the piston part 4-1 is larger than the diameter of the annular part 4-2. The outer periphery of the piston part 4-1 slides with the inner hole of the upper end of the movable sleeve 3, and a top cutter block 5 is provided in the inner hole of the annular part 4-2; the top cutter block 5 has a cylindrical part and a disc of an integral structure, and a bearing 6 is installed between the outer periphery of the cylindrical part of the top cutter block 5 and the inner hole of the annular part 4-2. The outer ring of the bearing 6 cooperates with the inner hole of the annular part 4-2, and the outer periphery of the cylindrical part of the top cutter block 5 cooperates with the inner ring of the bearing 6, so that the top cutter block 5 can form a rolling fit with the hydraulic piston 4 through the bearing 6.
