[0002] CNC machine tool cutting tools are a crucial component of CNC machining, directly impacting machining accuracy, efficiency, and quality. CNC machine tool cutting tools are diverse and can be categorized into various types based on different machining requirements and material properties, including but not limited to milling cutters, turning tools, drills, boring tools, and composite tools. CNC machine tools require different tool types when machining different workpieces.
[0003] The tool changing process on a CNC machine tool is a precise, multi-step operation, primarily categorized as manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic. In fully automatic tool changing, the machine first automatically moves to the tool change position, moving the spindle or tool magazine to that position. The CNC system then automatically controls the tool changer, placing the tool into the tool holder. Finally, the machine automatically resets the spindle or tool magazine back to the machining position. Fully automatic tool changing requires no human intervention and is highly efficient, making it suitable for applications requiring high production efficiency and frequent tool changes.

[0028] The following will be combined with the 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.
[0029] The utility model provides a technical solution:
[0030] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7A CNC machine tool with automatic tool change includes a CNC machine tool housing 1, a processing adjustment component 2 is provided inside the CNC machine tool housing 1, a tool maintenance component 3 is provided at the lower left end of the CNC machine tool housing 1, the tool maintenance component 3 includes a tool carrying base 301 fixed to the lower left end of the CNC machine tool housing 1, and a tool changing component 4 is provided inside and above the tool carrying base 301; the tool changing component 4 includes a tool holder 401 fixedly mounted on the upper end surface of the tool carrying base 301, three maintenance sponge cylinders 402 are movably installed inside the tool holder 401, and injection pipes 305 corresponding to the maintenance sponge cylinders 402 are penetrated inside and on the upper end surface of the tool carrying base 301, and an assembly seat 403 is fixedly installed on the bottom end surface of the maintenance sponge cylinder 402. An oil groove 404 is provided at the connection between the upper end surface of the assembly seat 403 and the maintenance sponge tube 402, and an assembly slide 413 is provided at the corresponding position of the tool bearing base 301 and the assembly seat 403, and the assembly slide 413 is slidably connected to the assembly seat 403.

At the same time, the contact between the tool and the maintenance sponge tube 402 during storage can enable the maintenance sponge tube 402 to absorb and wipe impurities such as cutting fluid, oil stains and metal chips attached to the surface of the CNC tool, thereby improving the maintenance effect of the CNC tool when not in use.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the processing adjustment component 2 includes an X-axial driving member 201 installed on the bottom end surface of the inner part of the CNC machine tool housing 1, and the Y-axial driving member 202 is connected to the top of the X-axial driving member 201, and the inner side of the Y-axial driving member 202 is connected to the Z-axial driving member 203; the power output end of the Z-axial driving member 203 is fixedly installed with a bearing seat 204, and the upper end surface of the bearing seat 204 is fixedly installed with a servo motor 205, and the power output end of the servo motor 205 passes through the bearing seat 204 and is fixedly connected to a CNC processing axis 206. The left and right sides of the assembly seat 403 are both rotatably installed with clamping rods 405, and the top of the clamping rod 405 is fixedly installed with a clamping block 406. The inside of the assembly seat 403 is rotatably installed with a driving shaft 408, and the driving shaft 408 is located below the shaft wall inside the assembly seat 403 and is abutted against a rigid spring 410. The end of the driving shaft 408 away from the assembly seat 403 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 407, and the end of the connecting rod 407 away from the driving shaft 408 is fixedly connected to the control shaft 409. A positioning top block 411 corresponding to the control shaft 409 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the assembly slot 413, and a limiting base 412 fixed on the side wall of the assembly slot 413 is provided below the positioning top block 411.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, when using a CNC machine tool to replace a tool, it is necessary to replace the tool through the mutual cooperation of the X-axial drive member 201, the Y-axial drive member 202 and the Z-axial drive member 203. The X-axial drive member 201 is composed of an X-axial slide frame, a first speed-regulating motor, a first ball screw and a first guide rod. The Y-axial drive member 202 is composed of a Y-axial slide frame, a second speed-regulating motor, a second ball screw and a second guide rod. The Z-axial drive member 203 is composed of a Z-axial slide frame, a third speed-regulating motor, a third ball screw and a third guide rod. When the tool needs to be replaced, the first speed-regulating motor is started, and the first speed-regulating motor drives the first ball screw to move the Y-axial slide frame in the X-axial direction. The tool is arranged on the Y-axis When the cam 206 is moved to the top of the maintenance sponge cylinder 402, the tool clamped on the cam 206 is inserted into the maintenance sponge cylinder 402. By continuously inserting the tool, the bottom assembly seat 403 can be pushed to move, and the assembly seat 403 slides downward inside the assembly slot 413. The seat 403 slides downward to compress the rigid spring 410, and at the same time drives the driving shaft 408, the connecting rod 407 and the control shaft 409 to move downward. When the control shaft 409 moves downward, it can slide between the positioning top block 411 and the limit base 412 under the action of the positioning top block 411. The control shaft 409 between the sliding positioning top block 411 and the limit base 412 can be locked by the positioning top block 411, so that the assembly seat 403 can be fixed in the appropriate position of the assembly slide groove 413. At this time, the clamping rod 405 can be pressed against the assembly slide groove 413 to rotate the clamping rod 405, and the rotation of the symmetrical clamping rod 405 can enable the clamping block 406 to clamp and fix the tool inserted in the maintenance sponge tube 402, cooperating with the movement of the CNC machining axis 206. The kinetic energy causes the tool stuck in the CNC machining axis 206 to be pulled out. When replacing other tools, the CNC machining axis 206 is moved to the top of the corresponding tool. The CNC machining axis 206 moves down to engage with the tool. When the CNC machining axis 206 continues to move down, it presses the assembly seat 403. When the assembly seat 403 moves down, it should be emphasized that at this time, the rigid spring 410 and the vertical center line of the abutting cylindrical drive shaft 408 are not on the same vertical center line. The assembly seat 403 moves down a short distance, which will drive the control shaft 409 stuck in the groove on the lower end surface of the positioning top block 411 to rotate and disengage. At this time, the CNC machining axis 206 moves up, and the rigid spring 410 will push the assembly seat 403 to move up, so that the assembly slide 413 will no longer press the clamping rod 405 tightly.The clamping rod 405 will release the clamped tool, thereby completing the automatic tool change. The automatic tool change can complete the tool change in a short time, thereby reducing the downtime of the machine tool and improving production efficiency. Through automatic tool change, the machine tool can continuously process without human intervention, thus achieving continuous and efficient production. The automatic tool change can accurately position and change the tool, reducing the error caused by human operation, thereby improving processing accuracy. The automatic tool change reduces the need for human intervention and reduces the dependence on operators, thereby saving labor costs.
[0034] Working principle: When using a CNC machine tool to replace a tool, the position of the support seat 204 can be adjusted through the mutual cooperation of the X-axis drive member 201, the Y-axis drive member 202 and the Z-axis drive member 203, thereby driving the servo motor 205 and the CNC machining axis 206 to move. When the CNC machining axis 206 moves to the top of the corresponding maintenance sponge cylinder 402, the tool clamped on the CNC machining axis 206 is inserted into the maintenance sponge cylinder 402. By continuously inserting, the assembly seat 403 at the bottom can be pushed to move, and the assembly seat 403 slides downward inside the assembly slide groove 413. The downward sliding of the assembly seat 403 can compress the rigid spring 410, and at the same time drive the drive shaft 408, the connecting rod 407 and the control When the control shaft 409 moves downward, the control shaft 409 can slide between the positioning top block 411 and the limiting base 412 under the action of the positioning top block 411. The control shaft 409 between the sliding positioning top block 411 and the limiting base 412 can be locked by the positioning top block 411, so that the assembly seat 403 can be fixed in the appropriate position of the assembly slide 413. At this time, the clamping rod 405 can be pressed against the assembly slide 413 to rotate the clamping rod 405, and the rotation of the symmetrical clamping rod 405 can enable the clamping block 406 to clamp and fix the tool inserted into the maintenance sponge tube 402, and the movement of the CNC machining axis 206 can make the tool stuck in the CNC machining axis 206 be pulled out. When replacing other tools, The CNC machining axis 206 is moved to the top of the corresponding tool. The CNC machining axis 206 moves down to engage with the tool. When the CNC machining axis 206 continues to move down, the assembly seat 403 is pressed. When the assembly seat 403 moves down, it should be emphasized that at this time the rigid spring 410 and the vertical center line of the abutting cylindrical drive shaft 408 are not on the same vertical center line. The assembly seat 403 moves down a short distance, which will drive the control shaft 409 stuck in the groove on the lower end surface of the positioning top block 411 to rotate and disengage. At this time, the CNC machining axis 206 moves up, and the rigid spring 410 will push the assembly seat 403 to move up, so that the assembly slide 413 will no longer be pressed against the clamping rod 405, and the clamping rod 405 will release the clamped tool, thereby completing the work. Automatic replacement of paired tools. When the tool is placed and replaced, the compression assembly seat 403 can be squeezed. The assembly seat 403 can squeeze the compression rod 304 by sliding downward in the assembly slide 413. The compression rod 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the assembly seat 403, thereby realizing the driving of the compression rod 304. Through the downward compression of the compression rod 304, the anti-rust oil at the bottom end of the cylinder body 303 can be squeezed through the plug body 307, so that the anti-rust oil flows into the upper end of the cylinder body 303 through the one-way valve hole 308. At the same time, the increase of the oil at the upper end of the interior can make the oil injected into the injection pipe 305, and the injection pipe 305 can spray the oil onto the corresponding maintenance sponge tube 402, thereby realizing the maintenance of the tool.
