[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No.: CN 110919454 B, Publication Date: September 24, 2021. This utility model proposes a tool magazine cover for CNC machine tools. Addressing the problems of inconvenient tool switching and easy entry of waste chips into the cover through gaps between the tool and the cover in existing CNC machine tool covers, the proposed solution includes a fixed cover and a fixed base. The fixed cover is located on one side of the fixed base. A notch is formed on the front of the fixed cover, and a cover plate is fixed to the outside of the notch. A tool outlet is formed at the bottom of the fixed cover. A connecting groove is formed on the back of the fixed cover, and a connecting plate is fixed to the back of the fixed cover, located above the connecting groove. A connecting hole is formed on the side of the fixed base near the fixed cover. The shortcomings of this technical solution are: the tool is difficult to maintain under the protection of the fixed cover, and the waste generated by the tool is difficult to handle conveniently, reducing the ease of use of the tool magazine structure.
