Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a tool holder for a CNC machining center. Background Technology

[0002] A machining center is a highly automated, multi-functional CNC machine tool equipped with a tool magazine and automatic tool changer. It is mainly suitable for machining complex parts such as plates, discs, molds, and small shells. Machining center tools refer to the cutting tools used by the highly automated, multi-functional CNC machine tool. Different tools are conveniently stored through a tool rack, which also facilitates tool changes in the machining center.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that existing tool storage racks mainly use storage plates to place and store tools. These storage plates are generally rectangular, which limits the number of tools that can be placed. Furthermore, the storage plates are fixed in position, requiring operators to move them to find the corresponding tools, which is inconvenient for tool storage and retrieval. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a tool storage rack for CNC machining centers, aiming to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool holder for CNC machining centers. This solution features a ring-shaped holding component that can hold more tools. At the same time, the holding component can be rotated and adjusted stably, making it convenient to pick up and place the tools. Furthermore, a threaded loading and unloading component is provided to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the holding component, making it easy to replace the holding component due to oil stains, impacts, or other reasons.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A tool holder for a CNC machining center includes a base, a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a drive motor fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the base. A support column is centrally located on the opposite side of the base and the support frame. A set of turntables is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support column. A transmission belt is fitted onto the output end of the drive motor. Movable rings are fixedly connected to both ends of the support column. A set of ball bearings is movably connected to the side of the movable rings. A set of placement blocks is equidistantly arranged on the outer side of the turntables, and a threaded loading and unloading mechanism is provided at the connection between the turntables and the placement blocks.

[0009] The threaded loading and unloading mechanism includes a connecting rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to a pair of limiting rings, and a threaded sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the connecting rod, with a threaded ring on one side of the threaded sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the transmission belt furthest from the drive motor is fitted onto the lower outer side of the support column.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable ring at the bottom of the support column is movably connected to the base, and the movable ring at the top of the support column is movably connected to the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the diameters of the turntables increase sequentially from top to bottom, and the placement blocks are arranged at an angle.

[0013] Furthermore, the placement block has a placement groove inside, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the placement block.

[0014] Furthermore, the end of the threaded sleeve away from the threaded ring is adapted to the limiting ring.

[0015] Furthermore, the threaded ring is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable, and the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded ring.

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) This solution uses a turntable and a placement block to place the cutting tools. During the process of picking up or placing the cutting tools, the transmission belt can be used to rotate and adjust the cutting tools with the support column. At the same time, two movable rings are used to limit the support column with the base and the support frame respectively. The ball bearings reduce the rotation resistance and ensure the rotation stability of the support column. Compared with the existing technology, the ring placement component can hold more cutting tools. At the same time, the placement component can be rotated and adjusted stably, which is convenient for picking up and placing the cutting tools.

[0019] (2) By setting up a threaded loading and unloading mechanism, the threaded sleeve can be rotated to separate from the threaded ring, and the connecting rod and the placement block can be removed. Then, the new placement block is placed on the moving threaded ring so that the limiting ring on the outside of the connecting rod fits with the end face of the threaded ring. Then, the threaded sleeve is rotated to connect with the threaded ring, thus completing the replacement of the placement block. Compared with the existing technology, setting up a threaded loading and unloading component makes it convenient to install and disassemble the placement component, and facilitates the replacement of the placement component due to oil stains, bumps, etc. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 A tool holder for a CNC machining center includes a base 1, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a drive motor 3 fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the base 1, a support column 4 centrally located on the opposite side of the base 1 and the support frame 2, a set of turntables 5 fixedly connected to the outer side of the support column 4, a transmission belt 6 sleeved on the output end of the drive motor 3, movable rings 7 fixedly connected to both ends of the support column 4, a set of ball bearings 8 movably connected to the side of the movable rings 7, a set of placement blocks 9 equidistantly arranged on the outer side of the turntables 5, and a threaded loading and unloading mechanism 10 provided at the connection between the turntables 5 and the placement blocks 9.

[0028] The threaded loading and unloading mechanism 10 includes a connecting rod 11, one end of which is fixedly connected to a pair of limiting rings 12, and a threaded sleeve 13 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 11. A threaded ring 14 is provided on one side of the threaded sleeve 13. The threaded loading and unloading mechanism 10 is provided to facilitate the replacement of the storage parts.

[0029] See Figure 3 The end of the transmission belt 6 away from the drive motor 3 is sleeved on the lower outer side of the support column 4. When the drive motor 3 is started, the support column 4 is rotated under the action of the transmission belt 6 to adjust the position of the tool.

[0030] See Figure 3The movable ring 7 at the bottom of the support column 4 is movably connected to the base 1, and the movable ring 7 at the top of the support column 4 is movably connected to the support frame 2. The two movable rings 7 cooperate with the base 1 and the support frame 2 respectively to ensure the stability of the support column 4, while the ball bearings 8 reduce the rotational resistance.

[0031] See Figure 2 The diameters of several turntables 5 increase sequentially from top to bottom, and the placement blocks 9 are set at an angle. The turntables 5 work in conjunction with the placement blocks 9 to place the tools.

[0032] See Figure 4 The placement block 9 has a placement groove inside, and the other end of the connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the placement block 9. The movement of the connecting rod 11 drives the placement block 9 to move synchronously.

[0033] See Figure 4 The end of the threaded sleeve 13 away from the threaded ring 14 is adapted to the limiting ring 12. The two limiting rings 12 cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the threaded sleeve 13.

[0034] See Figure 4 The threaded ring 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable 5, and the threaded sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded ring 14. By rotating the threaded sleeve 13 to separate from the threaded ring 14, the connecting rod 11 and the repositioning block 9 can be removed. Then, the new repositioning block 9 is placed on the threaded ring 14 and moved so that the limiting ring 12 on the outside of the connecting rod 11 fits against the end face of the threaded ring 14. Then, the threaded sleeve 13 is rotated to connect with the threaded ring 14, thus completing the replacement of the repositioning block 9.

[0035] In use: The turntable 5, together with the placement block 9, is used to place the tools. When the tools need to be selected and retrieved, the drive motor 3 is started. Under the action of the transmission belt 6, the support column 4 and the turntable 5 are rotated to adjust the position of the placement block 9, which facilitates the placement and retrieval of the tools. The two movable rings 7, together with the base 1 and the support frame 2, respectively limit the support column 4. At the same time, the ball bearings 8 reduce the rotational resistance and ensure the rotational stability of the support column 4. When the placement block 9 needs to be replaced due to oil stains, bumps, etc., first rotate the threaded sleeve 13 to separate it from the threaded ring 14, and then the connecting rod 11 and the placement block 9 can be removed. Then, place the new placement block 9 on the threaded ring 14 and move it so that the limiting ring 12 on the outside of the connecting rod 11 fits with the end face of the threaded ring 14. Then rotate the threaded sleeve 13 to connect with the threaded ring 14, thus completing the replacement of the placement block 9.
