[0025] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a tool changing mechanism for a CNC lathe, including a base 1, an adjusting seat 2 disposed on the upper part of the base 1, a mounting seat 4 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the adjusting seat 2, a mounting column 5 disposed on the upper part of the mounting seat 4, and a connecting assembly 3 disposed on the upper part of the base 1. The connecting assembly 3 includes a moving mechanism 31 disposed on the upper part of the base 1, an auxiliary mechanism 32 disposed on the upper part of the base 1, the moving mechanism 31 includes a motor 311 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the base 1, a lead screw 312 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 311, a first fixing plate 313 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the base 1, a convex slide rail 314 fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1, a second fixing plate 315 fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1, a fixing body 316 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the mounting seat 4, a clamping hole 317 opened inside the fixing body 316, an opening 318 opened on the inner wall of the clamping hole 317, a groove 319 opened on the side wall of the fixing body 316, and a fixing bolt 3110 threadedly connected inside the groove 319.
[0028] In this embodiment, the lead screw 312 is rotatably connected to the first fixed plate 313 via a bearing, and the adjusting seat 2 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 312. The second fixed plate 315 is fixedly connected to the end of the convex slide rail 314, and the adjusting seat 2 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the convex slide rail 314. Through the cooperation of the motor 311, the lead screw 312, the first fixed plate 313, the convex slide rail 314, and the second fixed plate 315, the position of the adjusting seat 2 can be adjusted, thereby allowing the adjusting seat 2 and the mounting seat 4 to be moved away from the workpiece, which makes it easier to manually replace the tool 324. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the fixing body 316, the clamping hole 317, the opening 318, the groove 319, and the fixing bolt 3110, the mounting column 5 can be disassembled as a whole, which facilitates the manual replacement of the entire tool 324 set, thereby increasing the applicability of the device.
[0029] Furthermore, there are two fixing bolts 3110, which are symmetrically distributed in the fixing body 316, and the fixing bolts 3110 penetrate through the opening 318.
[0030] When replacing the entire set of cutting tools 324, the device drives the lead screw 312 to rotate counterclockwise via the motor 311. This causes the adjusting seat 2, which is threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw 312, to move the mounting seat 4 to the right. This moves the adjusting seat 2 and the mounting seat 4 away from the workpiece, making it easier to manually replace the cutting tools 324. Then, by manually rotating the locking rod 3210 counterclockwise, the locking rod 3210 is separated from the fixed body 316. The mounting post 5 can then be removed from the clamping hole 317, allowing for the replacement of the entire set of cutting tools 324. This increases the applicability of the device.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Based on Embodiment 1, the preferred embodiment of the tool changing mechanism for a CNC lathe provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown: The auxiliary mechanism 32 includes a knife groove 321 on the upper part of the mounting column 5, a snap-fit groove 322 on the inner wall of the knife groove 321, a threaded groove 323 on the top of the mounting column 5, a tool 324 snapped into the inner wall of the knife groove 321, a snap-fit hole 325 on the surface of the tool 324, a cover plate 326 on the top of the mounting column 5, a positioning bolt 327 threadedly connected inside the cover plate 326, an mounting sleeve 328 fixedly connected to the upper part of the cover plate 326, a movable block 329 slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 328, a snap-fit rod 3210 fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block 329, a connecting rod 3211 fixedly connected to the upper part of the movable block 329, a spring 3212 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 328, and a limit block fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 3211.
[0033] In this embodiment, the snap-fit rod 3210 is snapped into the snap-fit groove 322 through the snap-fit hole 325, and the snap-fit rod 3210 is movably connected to the cover plate 326. The bottom end of the spring 3212 is fixedly connected to the movable block 329. Through the cooperation of the knife groove 321, snap-fit groove 322, threaded groove 323, knife 324, snap-fit hole 325, cover plate 326, positioning bolt 327, mounting sleeve 328, movable block 329, snap-fit rod 3210, connecting rod 3211, and spring 3212, it is convenient to manually replace a single knife 324, which can prevent damage to a single knife 324 and affect subsequent use.
[0034] Furthermore, the top of the connecting rod 3211 is movably connected to the mounting sleeve 328, and the positioning bolt 327 is adapted to the threaded groove 323.
[0035] When a single cutting tool 324 needs to be replaced, the connecting rod 3211 is pulled upwards manually. This causes the movable block 329, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 3211, to move the locking rod 3210 upwards simultaneously. This allows the locking rod 3210 to separate from the locking groove 322 and the locking hole 325. Then, the cutting tool 324 can be manually pulled out. The new cutting tool 324 is then inserted into the cutting groove 321. The connecting rod 3211 is then released. Under the elastic force of the spring 3212, the movable block 329 moves the locking rod 3210 downwards. This allows the locking rod 3210 to pass through the locking hole 325 and engage with the locking groove 322, thus fixing the cutting tool 324 in the cutting groove 321, completing the replacement operation.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
