Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of functional components of CNC machine tools, specifically to a tool gripper. Background Technology

[0002] When changing tools on a CNC machine tool, it is usually necessary to remove the tool from the tool magazine and install it onto the spindle. The traditional method is to manually remove the tool and assemble it onto the high-speed spindle. However, this manual handling method is not only prone to large tool installation deviations, but also reduces machining efficiency and product quality due to the slow tool selection and installation process. Utility Model Content

[0003] (I) Problems to be solved

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a tool gripper in light of the current state of the technology.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a tool gripper, including a guide rod cylinder, with a gripper cylinder washer connected to the guide rod of the guide rod cylinder. A fixed end seat is fixedly connected to the guide rod side of the guide rod cylinder, and a movable opening is provided in the center of the fixed end seat for the guide rod and the gripper cylinder washer to pass through. A tool holder positioning sleeve and an openable bidirectional horizontal clamp are installed at the lower end of the fixed end seat. The bidirectional horizontal clamp is located on both sides of the gripper cylinder washer and is enclosed in the upper cavity of the tool holder positioning sleeve. A wedge-shaped bevel is provided on the inner surface of the bidirectional horizontal clamp, and a wedge-shaped movable slider is installed on the wedge-shaped bevel. The wedge-shaped movable slider is connected to the gripper cylinder washer. A gripping claw is installed on the outer side of the bidirectional horizontal clamp.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when gripping a tool, the tool holder recognition sensor first detects whether a tool is present below. After confirming that a tool is to be gripped, the guide rod cylinder drives the guide rod to move upward. The gripper cylinder washer then drives the wedge-shaped movable slider to move upward, causing the bidirectional horizontal clamp to open towards both sides of the gripping jaws, thereby opening the bidirectional horizontal clamp and the gripping jaws. When the jaws of the tool grippers descend to be flush with the gripping part above the tool, the guide rod cylinder drives the guide rod to move downward, and the gripper cylinder washer then drives the wedge-shaped movable slider to move downward, causing the bidirectional horizontal clamp to move inward, so that the jaws fit with the gripping part, thereby completing the gripping action of the gripping jaws to grasp the tool.

[0008] Furthermore, the tool holder positioning sleeve includes a lower clamping part, and the inner side of the lower clamping part is provided with an arc-shaped mating surface that matches and fits into the shape of the upper part of the tool holder.

[0009] Furthermore, the tool holder positioning sleeve is connected to the fixed end seat bolt.

[0010] Furthermore, the gripping jaws have a rounded end face.

[0011] Furthermore, the tool holder positioning sleeve has a clamping hole and a sensor through hole.

[0012] Furthermore, a tool handle recognition sensor is embedded within the sensor perforation, with its first end facing directly downwards. The tool handle recognition sensor is used to detect whether a gripper to be grasped is located directly below.

[0013] Furthermore, a throttle valve for adjusting the cylinder extension and retraction speed is provided on the outside of the guide rod cylinder.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model integrates a guide rod cylinder, a wedge-shaped movable slider, a two-way horizontal clamp, and a gripping claw. Through ingenious design, the tool gripping action can be automatically, accurately, and efficiently completed by several simple mechanisms working together. The installation accuracy is high and will not affect the subsequent tool installation process. It not only greatly improves gripping efficiency but also saves time and labor costs.
