[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0015] See Figures 1-2A sliding tool changer includes a connecting bracket 1, a connecting seat 2, a cylinder 3, a connector 4, a slide rail 5, a tool magazine bracket 6, and a slider 7. Slide rails 5 are symmetrically fixed to one outer wall of the connecting bracket 1. The tool magazine bracket 6 is mounted on one outer wall of the connecting bracket 1. Slider 7s are symmetrically fixed to one outer wall of the tool magazine bracket 6, with the other end of the slider 7 slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 5. The connecting seat 2 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the connecting bracket 1, and a cylinder 3 is mounted on the connecting seat 2. One end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the connector 4, and one side of the connector 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tool magazine bracket 6. A tool magazine frame 8 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the tool magazine bracket 6. A first motor 9 is embedded in the tool magazine frame 8. A tool change push plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the output shaft of the first motor 9. A disassembly post 14 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the tool magazine frame 8. One side of plate 10 is attached to the outer wall of disassembly column 14. The first motor 9 is started to rotate the tool changing push plate 10, which then squeezes the disassembly column 14, causing the tool connecting cylinder 13 to be pushed out. The required tool is then taken out and sent to the machine tool spindle to complete the tool changing process. A second motor 11 is embedded in the tool magazine frame 8. A rotating disk 12 is rotatably connected inside the tool magazine frame 8, and one end of the output shaft of the second motor 11 is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating disk 12. Tool connecting cylinders 13 are distributed on one side of the outer wall of the rotating disk 12. The second motor 11 is started to rotate the tool connecting cylinders 13 on the rotating disk 12, so that the tool connecting cylinder 13 that needs to be changed rotates to the disassembly column 14. Connecting holes 15 are distributed on one side of the outer wall of the connecting bracket 1. The connecting bracket 1 is placed on the machine tool, and then the bolts are inserted into the connecting holes 15 to install and fix the connecting bracket 1.

[0016] Working principle: Place the connecting bracket 1 on the machine tool, insert the bolt into the connecting hole 15, and install and fix the connecting bracket 1. Then, issue a command through the operation panel according to the processing requirements to start the cylinder 3 on the connecting seat 2 to move the connecting head 4. Then, the slider 7 on the tool magazine bracket 6 moves along the slide rail 5, causing the tool magazine frame 8 on the tool magazine bracket 6 to slide to the designated position. Then, install different tools on the tool connecting cylinder 13. When a tool change is required, start the second motor 11 to rotate the tool connecting cylinder 13 on the rotating disk 12, so that the tool connecting cylinder 13 that needs to be changed rotates to the disassembly column 14. At this time, start... The first motor 9 rotates the tool changer push plate 10, which then presses against the disassembly column 14, causing the tool connecting cylinder 13 to be pushed out. The required tool is then removed and sent to the machine tool spindle, completing the tool change process. After the tool change is completed, the tool magazine frame 8 automatically returns to its original position, waiting for the next tool change command. The tool magazine body is moved quickly using a sliding rail and sliding mechanism. Compared with the traditional rotary tool magazine, the tool change time is shorter and the space utilization rate is higher. Moreover, the automatic tool change and movement of the tool magazine body is simple to operate, improving processing efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the overall structure of the equipment is compact, occupies little space, and is easy to install and use in the limited space of the machine tool.
