[0005] The left and right sides of the tool seat are provided with symmetrical limiting pins, and a limiting surface is provided on the end of the tool jaw away from the tool, and the limiting pins are limited by the limiting surface of the tool jaw when the tool jaw is loosened and the tool is changed.

[0006] The tool clamping surface center of the tool jaw is respectively provided with asymmetrical limiting keys, and the limiting keys are limited by the corresponding limiting slots of the tool when the tool jaw is closed and clamped.

[0007] The two ends of the tool seat are respectively provided with roller devices, and the roller devices are coaxially connected by front guide wheel, rear guide wheel, power wheel and pin shaft;The front guide wheel and the rear guide wheel are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the tool seat, and are connected with the external slide way;The power wheel is located in the tool seat, and is coaxially connected with the front guide wheel and the rear guide wheel through the pin shaft, and the power wheel is connected with the external transmission device.

[0008] The tool holder device for the tool magazine of the present application adopts the above structure and has the following advantages:

[0009] 1. The tool holder device adopts a small roller device to move in a closed track, solving the length fluctuation problem in the chain transmission process, thereby improving the tool changing positioning accuracy.

[0010] 2. The tool holder device adopts a locking shaft and a tool holder to cooperate, through the synergistic effect of a spring, a groove and a limiting pin, to complete the opening and closing locking function of the tool holder, thereby improving the positioning accuracy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0011] Figure 1 It is a schematic view of the front structure of the tool holder device.

[0012] Figure 2 Figure 1 A-A sectional view. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
