[0022] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a casting tool changing device, including a housing 1 and a tool changing device body. A tool disc 3 is provided on the top of the housing 1. A plurality of grooves 4 are formed on one side of the tool disc 3. An insert block 10 is installed on one side of the inner wall of each of the plurality of grooves 4. A tool holder 5 is provided inside each of the plurality of grooves 4. A sliding groove 7 is formed on one side of each of the plurality of tool holders 5. A first spring 8 is installed on one side of the inner wall of each of the plurality of sliding grooves 7. A stop block 9 is installed on the other end of each of the plurality of first springs 8. The plurality of insert blocks 10 are respectively inserted into the inner wall of the corresponding sliding groove 7. The part has slots 11 inside the corresponding set of cutter heads 3, cutter holders 5 and insert blocks 10. Each slot 11 is equipped with a limit component. By pulling the limit shaft 12 and disengaging it from the slot 11, the limit between the cutter holder 5 and the insert block 10 is released, and a new cutter holder 5 is inserted into the groove 4 to the appropriate position. At this time, the limit shaft 12 is pushed back into the slot 11 by the force of the second spring 14 to limit it, and the cutter holder 5 is fixed in the position by the force of the first spring 8. The operation is convenient.

[0024] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the tool changing device body includes a spindle 2, the lower end of which is rotatably connected to the top of the housing 1. A drive motor is installed at the lower end of the spindle 2 and is mounted on the housing 1. A tool disc 3 is installed above the spindle wall of the spindle 2. Tool heads 6 are provided on the inner walls of multiple tool holders 5. By controlling the drive motor to drive the spindle 2 to rotate, the tool disc 3 is driven to rotate, thereby changing the tool.

[0025] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the limiting assembly includes multiple limiting shafts 12, which are respectively inserted into the interior of corresponding slots 11. Each limiting shaft 12 has a fixing ring 13 installed below its shaft wall, and a second spring 14 is installed at the bottom of each fixing ring 13. The lower ends of the multiple second springs 14 are all mounted on a fixing seat 15, which is mounted on the cutter head 3. The lower ends of the multiple limiting shafts 12 pass through the top of the fixing seat 15 and extend downward. Each limiting shaft 12 has a pull ring 16 installed at its lower end, which allows the limiting shafts 12 to move up and down by moving the pull ring 16.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, two movable slots 17 are opened on one side of the inner wall of multiple tool holders 5. Guide blocks 18 are slidably installed inside the multiple movable slots 17. A third spring 19 is installed on one side of the multiple guide blocks 18. A hollow block 20 is installed at one end of the multiple third springs 19. The multiple hollow blocks 20 are respectively installed on the corresponding tool holders 5. When changing tools, the movable tool head 6 slides into the inside of the tool holder 5 along the outer wall of the guide block 18. The reaction force of the third spring 19 makes the tool head 6 stably placed inside the tool holder 5, which makes the stability better when changing the tool head 6.

[0027] The working principle is as follows: In actual use, this utility model allows for the replacement of different cutting tools according to processing requirements. Different tool holders 5 are used to place different specifications of cutting tools. During use, pulling down the pull ring 16 moves the limiting shaft 12 downward, causing it to disengage from the slot 11. This releases the restriction between the tool holder 5 and the insert block 10, allowing the tool holder 5 to be removed along the outer wall of the insert block 10. The new tool holder 5 is then inserted into the appropriate position inside the groove 4. At this point, the second spring 14 pushes the fixing ring 13 upward, which in turn pushes the limiting shaft 12 back into the tool disc 3, the tool holder 5, and the slot 11 for restriction. The first spring 8 pushes the stop block 9 to move along the sliding groove 7, pressing against the insert block 10 inside the sliding groove 7, thus securing the tool holder 5 firmly in that position. The replacement operation is convenient and easy to use.

[0028] Example 2: As Figure 1 and2 As shown, to facilitate the replacement of the cutting tools on the cutter head 3 during actual operation, a base 21 is provided at the bottom of the outer casing 1. Two slide rails 22 are installed on the top of the base 21, and sliders 23 are slidably installed on the outer walls of both slide rails 22. Both sliders 23 are installed on the outer casing 1. A rotary motor 24 is installed on one side of the left slider 23. A drive wheel 25 is installed at the output end of the rotary motor 24. A gear plate 26 is meshed on one side of the drive wheel 25 and is installed on the base 21. By controlling the rotary motor 24 to rotate, the drive wheel 25 is driven to slide on the gear plate 26. While moving, the slider 23 moves on the outer wall of the slide rail 22, thereby moving the sliders 23 on both sides together. This also moves the outer casing 1 and the components above it together, making it convenient to move the cutter head 3 out of the processing device or to the side, so as to facilitate the replacement of the cutting head 6.

[0029] 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.
