[0021] 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.

[0022] In a typical implementation of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a structure for automatically changing sleeves for a tightening shaft includes: a quick-changing device, the quick-changing device includes: a sleeve body 1, locking grooves 2 are provided on both side walls of the sleeve body 1, two locking steel balls 3 are slidably installed inside the two locking grooves 2, a quick-insertion shaft 12 is slidably installed inside the sleeve body 1, and a card groove 13 is provided on the outer surface of the quick-insertion shaft 12. The quick-changing device also includes an unlocking and locking assembly, which is arranged on the sleeve body 1 and is used to unlock or lock the quick-insertion shaft 12.

[0023] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the unlocking and locking assembly includes: a connecting ring 4, which is arranged on the sleeve body 1, and a connecting ring 2 5 is provided on one side of the connecting ring 4, and a plurality of mounting grooves 6 and limiting grooves 7 are provided on the surface of the connecting ring 2 5 adjacent to the connecting ring 1 4. The unlocking and locking also includes: a plurality of connecting columns 8, which are arranged between the connecting ring 1 4 and the connecting ring 2 5, and cooperate with the mounting grooves 6. Springs 10 are fixedly installed on both side walls of the connecting column 8 and the locking steel ball 3, and a plurality of limiting columns 9 are provided between the connecting ring 1 4 and the connecting ring 2 5. The limiting columns 9 cooperate with the limiting grooves 7.

[0024] Specifically, the unlocking and locking assembly is placed into the unlocking block 14 along the groove. When the unlocking and locking assembly reaches the bottom of the unlocking block 14, the unlocking block 14 will squeeze the connecting ring 2 5 to deform the springs 10 on both sides of the connecting column 8, so that the connecting ring 2 5 fits the connecting ring 1 4, and the inner wall of the through groove 11 on the connecting ring 2 5 squeezes the locking steel ball 3 in the locking groove 2, so that the locking steel ball 3 shrinks into the inside of the locking groove 2, thereby unlocking the workpiece. At this time, the quick-insertion shaft 12 can be pulled out, and then the quick-insertion shaft 12 is inserted into another set of quick-changing devices. The quick-changing device is pulled out of the unlocking block 14, and the locking steel ball 3 is self-locking, and the new sleeve body 1 can be automatically replaced.

[0025] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the side walls of the connecting ring 1 4 and the connecting ring 2 5 are both provided with a through groove 11 , the diameter of the through groove 11 is the same as the diameter of the outer surface of the sleeve body 1 , and the connecting ring 1 4 and the connecting ring 2 5 are both sleeved on the outer surface of the sleeve body 1 .

[0026] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, an unlocking block 14 is provided on one side of the second connecting ring 5, and the surface adjacent to the second connecting ring 5 is inclined.

[0027] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking steel ball 3 and the card slot 13 cooperate with each other and have the same inner diameter. The locking steel ball 3 can be engaged in the card slot 13, or the locking assembly can be unlocked to retract the locking steel ball 3 into the locking slot 2, so that the locking steel ball 3 cancels the limit of the card slot 13, thereby allowing the quick-insert shaft 12 to slide out of the sleeve body 1.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] When in use, first assemble the sleeve body 1 and the quick-change shaft 12 in the quick-change device. Locking grooves 2 are provided on both side walls of the sleeve body 1. Two locking steel balls 3 are slidably installed inside the locking grooves 2. When the quick-change shaft 12 is inserted into the sleeve body 1, the grooves 13 on the outer surface of the quick-change shaft 12 will meet the locking steel balls 3. Since the locking steel balls 3 and the grooves 13 have the same inner diameter, the locking steel balls 3 will be squeezed into the grooves 13 under the action of the spring 10, thereby realizing the locking of the quick-change shaft 12 and the sleeve body 1. In order to release the quick-change shaft 12 The lock requires the use of an unlocking and locking assembly, which includes a connecting ring 1 4 and a connecting ring 2 5, which are respectively arranged on the sleeve body 1. A plurality of mounting grooves 6 and limit grooves 7 are provided on the surface adjacent to the connecting ring 2 5 and the connecting ring 1 4, and a connecting column 8 is provided between the connecting ring 1 4 and the connecting ring 2 5 and cooperates with the mounting groove 6. The two side walls of the connecting column 8 are fixedly installed with springs 10, so that there is a certain elasticity between the connecting ring 1 4 and the connecting ring 2 5. In addition, a limit column 9 is also provided between the connecting ring 1 4 and the connecting ring 2 5. The limiting column 9 cooperates with the limiting groove 7 to ensure the stability of the connecting ring 1 4 and the connecting ring 2 5 during the unlocking process. During the unlocking process, the unlocking and locking assembly is placed into the unlocking block 14 along the groove. One side of the unlocking block 14 is inclined to the surface adjacent to the connecting ring 2 5. This makes it possible that when the unlocking and locking assembly reaches the bottom of the unlocking block 14, the unlocking block 14 will squeeze the connecting ring 2 5, causing the springs 10 on both sides of the connecting column 8 to deform under stress. The deformation of the spring 10 causes the connecting ring 2 5 to fit the connecting ring 1 4. At this time, the inner wall of the through groove 11 on the connecting ring 2 5 will press against the The locking steel ball 3 in the locking groove 2 is squeezed, so that the locking steel ball 3 shrinks into the interior of the locking groove 2. This action unlocks the quick-connect shaft 12. At this time, the quick-connect shaft 12 can be easily pulled out. After the quick-connect shaft 12 is unlocked and pulled out, it can be inserted into another set of quick-change devices. Then, the quick-change device is slid out of the unlocking block 14. During the slid-out process, the locking steel ball 3 will pop out again under the action of the spring 10 and cooperate with the card slot 13 on the new quick-connect shaft 12 to achieve new locking. In this way, the automatic replacement of the sleeve body 1 is completed.

[0030] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
