DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Figure 1 The first structural diagram of the rotary tool magazine in the present invention is shown. Figure 2 The second structural diagram of the rotary disc tool magazine of the utility model is shown. Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the turntable body of the present invention is shown. The turntable tool magazine includes: a turntable body 1 and a rotating mechanism 2. The rotating mechanism 2 includes: a rotating motor and a transmission rod. The rotating motor is located on one side of the turntable body 1. The transmission rod is connected to the output end of the rotating motor. When the output end of the rotating motor rotates, the rotating rod is driven to rotate about its axis.
[0027] Furthermore, a connecting disk 3 is provided on the turntable body 1. One side of the connecting disk 3 is connected to the turntable body 1, and the other side of the connecting disk 3 is connected to the rotating mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the other side of the connecting disk 3 is connected to the rotating rod. When the output end of the rotating motor rotates, the rotating rod is driven to rotate about its axis. The rotating rod drives the connecting disk 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting disk 3 drives the turntable body 1 to rotate. This helps the rotating mechanism 2 drive the turntable body 1 to rotate a specified angle, facilitating the next operation.
[0028] Furthermore, a plurality of second connection holes 31 are provided on the edge of the connection disk 3, and the plurality of second connection holes 31 are evenly distributed along the edge of the connection disk 3. In this embodiment, twenty second connection holes 31 are provided on the edge of the connection disk 3, and twenty third connection holes are correspondingly provided in the middle area of the turntable body 1. One of the twenty second connection holes 31 corresponds to one of the twenty third connection holes, that is, the second connection holes 31 correspond one-to-one with the third connection holes. The second connection holes 31 and the third connection holes are connected by a plurality of bolts to strengthen the connection between the turntable body 1 and the connection disk 3, thereby preventing the turntable body 1 and the connection disk 3 from rotating relative to each other during use, and facilitating the rotation mechanism 2 to drive the turntable body 1 to rotate a specified angle, thereby facilitating the next operation.
[0029] The edge of the turntable body is recessed inward to form more than one tool groove, and a tool holder 5 is provided on each of the tool grooves. A plurality of electromagnets are provided in the turntable body, and the plurality of electromagnets are correspondingly provided in the tool grooves. The edge of the turntable body 1 can form eight, twelve, or eighteen tool grooves 11, and a turntable body 1 with a different number of tool grooves 11 can be selected and used according to actual conditions. In this embodiment, twelve tool grooves 11 are formed on the edge of the turntable body 1, that is, twelve electromagnets 12 are also provided in the turntable body 1, and each of the electromagnets 12 is located in a corresponding tool groove 11. The tool grooves 11 are used to store tool holders 5 with tools, so that the turntable body 1 can store multiple tool holders 5. Even if the turntable body can store multiple tools, it is avoided that the workpiece needs to be processed from different places due to insufficient number of tools, resulting in repeated tool setting and wasting time. The steps of multiple tool setting are reduced, thereby improving work efficiency. The electromagnet 12 is used to absorb the tool holder 5 and the tool set in the corresponding tool groove 11. When the electromagnet 12 is energized, it will exert a suction force on the tool holder 5 and the tool on the tool holder 5 in the corresponding tool groove 11, helping the tool to be fixed in the corresponding tool groove 11; on the contrary, when the electromagnet 12 is de-energized, the electromagnet has no suction force on the tool, reducing the difficulty of the staff in unloading the tool, thereby improving the efficiency of the staff in unloading or changing the tool.
[0030] The turntable body 1 is provided with one or more chute grooves 13 on its side. In this embodiment, the turntable body 1 is provided with fifteen chute grooves 13, with one end of each chute 13 intersecting with one end of its corresponding tool groove 11. The chute grooves 13 are used to limit the range of movement of the tool, preventing the tool from swinging slightly due to centrifugal force when the turntable body 1 rotates. The two side surfaces of the chute grooves 13 abut against the tool, limiting the tool's movement due to centrifugal force, reducing tool deviation during rotation of the turntable body 1, and reducing the risk of the tool falling off the turntable body 1.
[0031] The turntable body 1 is driven by the rotating mechanism 2 to rotate with the geometric center of the turntable body 1 as the center of the circle. When the output end of the rotating motor rotates, it drives the rotating rod to rotate around its axis, and the connecting rod drives the turntable body to rotate.
[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of first connection holes 111 are provided in each of the tool grooves 11, and the connection holes are distributed at the bottom of the tool groove 11 according to preset positions. In this embodiment, four first connection holes 111 are provided in each of the tool grooves 11, and the centers of the four first connection holes 111 are connected to form a rectangle. The four first connection holes 111 are used to connect tool holders of different shapes to the bottom of the tool groove 11 via screws, thereby simultaneously fixing the tool holder 5 from multiple directions and effectively preventing the tool holder 5 from loosening. Secondly, the four first connection holes 111 can increase the fixing area and contact surface between the tool holder 5 and the turntable body 1, thereby enhancing its reliability and ensuring that the electromagnet 12 remains stable during long-term use.
[0033] Furthermore, each of the chute 13 is provided with one or more first fixing holes 131 on the left side, and one or more second fixing holes 132 on the right side. In this embodiment, each of the chute 13 is provided with two first fixing holes 131 on the left side, and two second fixing holes 132 on the right side. The first fixing holes 131 and the second fixing holes 132 are used to fix the tool in the designated tool groove 11, preventing the tool from shaking when the turntable body rotates, and reducing the risk of precision loss caused by small movements of the tool.
[0034] Furthermore, a drive mechanism 4 is provided at the center of the turntable body 1. A linkage rod 41 is provided at the output end of the drive mechanism 4. The drive mechanism 4 is used to push the tool out of the tool groove 11 in which it is located, preventing workers from directly removing the tool from the turntable body 1 and reducing the risk of wear on the tool and the turntable body 1 during the removal process. The linkage rod 41 connects the output end of the drive mechanism 4 to the corresponding tool, ensuring that the output end of the drive mechanism 4 can push the corresponding tool portion out of its tool groove, making it easier for workers to remove the tool from the turntable body 1.
[0035] Furthermore, the linkage rod is driven by the output end of the drive mechanism to move forward and backward, and the output end of the linkage rod is directed toward the slide groove at the specified position. One end of the linkage rod 41 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 4, and one end of the linkage rod 41 is aligned with the slide groove at the specified position. It should be noted that the tool position groove at the specified position refers to the slide groove at the preset position, not a specific slide groove. When the output end of the drive mechanism 4 begins to move, it drives the linkage rod 41 to move, and the other end of the linkage rod 41 abuts against the bottom of the tool, thereby pushing the corresponding tool along the tool holder 5 toward the direction away from the tool holder 5, thereby reducing the contact area between the tool and the tool holder 5, reducing the difficulty of the staff in removing the tool from the turntable body 1.
[0036] Furthermore, a plurality of second connection holes 31 are provided on the edge of the connection disk 3, and the plurality of second connection holes 31 are evenly distributed along the edge of the connection disk 3. In this embodiment, eighteen second connection holes 31 are provided on the edge of the connection disk 3. The second connection block holes are used to reinforce the connection with the turntable body 1, simultaneously fixing the connection disk 3 and the turntable body 1 from multiple directions, effectively preventing the connection disk 3 and the turntable body 1 from rotating loose relative to each other during use. Secondly, the eighteen second connection holes 31 can increase the fixing area and contact surface of the connection disk 3 and the turntable body 1, thereby enhancing their reliability and ensuring that the turntable body is rotated when the connection disk 3 rotates.
[0037] Furthermore, an insulating coating is provided on the surface of the turntable body 1. This coating effectively blocks the flow of current, reducing the current from the electromagnet 12 from flowing into the turntable body 1. This prevents the current on the turntable body 1 from affecting the rotating mechanism 2 connected to the turntable body 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the turntable tool. Furthermore, the insulating coating protects the turntable body 1 from external corrosion and damage, reducing maintenance frequency and repair costs, and improving equipment reliability and lean efficiency.
[0038] Furthermore, the turntable body 1 is numbered, each number being assigned to a corresponding tool slot. In this embodiment, the turntable body 1 is numbered 1 through 15, each corresponding to a tool slot 11. The numbering provides a unique identifier for each tool, more conveniently linking tool usage and position change indicator information. Furthermore, the numbering helps workers quickly identify and locate the required tool. During programming, they can quickly find the corresponding tool number, enabling rapid selection or replacement of tools, improving production efficiency. This numbering management reduces production errors caused by tool confusion or misuse, ensures the accurate placement of each tool, and ultimately improves machining accuracy.
[0039] The present invention further provides a tool turret comprising the aforementioned rotary tool magazine, one or more tools, and a control module. The one or more tools are inserted into the rotary tool magazine at predetermined positions, and the control module is signal-connected to the rotary tool magazine. In this embodiment, twelve tools are inserted into twelve tool slots in the rotary tool magazine, and the control module is used to control the rotation angle of the rotary tool magazine.
[0040] To sum up, the utility model provides an electromagnet on the turntable body. When the electromagnet is energized, it will exert a suction force on the tool in the corresponding tool groove, helping to fix the tool in the corresponding tool groove; on the contrary, when the electromagnet is de-energized, the electromagnet has no suction force on the tool, reducing the difficulty of the staff in unloading the tool, thereby improving the efficiency of the staff in unloading the tool; secondly, there are more than one slide grooves on the side of the turntable body, and the two sides of the slide grooves are in contact with the tool, limiting the movement of the tool due to centrifugal force, reducing the displacement of the tool when the turntable body is rotating, and reducing the risk of the tool falling from the turntable body.
[0041] In addition, the above is a detailed introduction to a turntable tool magazine and a tool tower provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present invention and its core idea. At the same time, for general technical personnel in this field, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
