[0022] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the utility model embodiment automatic head changing mechanism of bridge type gantry machining center, it includes: bottom plate 1, the upper surface of bottom plate 1 is fixedly connected with mounting seat 2, stand 3, the upper surface of mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected with No. 1 motor 5, No. 2 motor 6, disc 7, the surface of disc 7 is provided with through opening 11, the output end of No. 1 motor 5 penetrates disc 7, the output end of No. 1 motor 5 is fixedly connected with tool bit holder 12, tool bit holder 12 is composed of long plate 17, buckle 18, buckle 18 is fixedly connected with long plate 17, when replacing tool bit, the opening end of buckle 18 is opposite to through opening 11 left and right, long plate 17 is of rubber material, buckle 18 is made of elastic material, buckle 18 is connected with tool bit, tool bit holder 12 is used for fixing unused tool bit, and the tool bit is clamped and fixed by using the characteristics of pressure deformation.

[0023] Specifically, No. 1 motor 5 drives tool bit holder 12 to rotate, and the tool bit fixed by buckle 18 passes through through opening 11 one by one in the rotating process, so as to replace the tool bit to be replaced.

[0024] The output end of the second motor 6 is fixedly connected with a sliding rail 8, the sliding rail 8 is distributed opposite to the left and right of the passing opening 11, the second motor 6 is used for rotating to change the state of the sliding rail 8, the inside of the sliding rail 8 is provided with a positioning frame 10 and a spring 19, the left and right ends of the spring 19 are fixedly connected with the right surface of the positioning frame 10 and the left surface of the sliding rail 8 respectively, the inside of the positioning frame 10 is fixedly connected with two elastic sheets 15, the two elastic sheets 15 are clamped with the replaced tool bit, the elastic sheet 15 is a downward inclined structure, when the tool bit is replaced, the opposite side of the two elastic sheets 15 is in close contact with the surface of the tool bit, the depth of the positioning frame 10 is greater than the height of the push block 9, when the tool bit is replaced, the push block 9 is located in the inside of the positioning frame 10, the positioning frame 10 is matched with the elastic sheet 15 and is used for fixing the old tool bit needing to be replaced, and the spring 19 is used for providing the automatic reset condition for the positioning frame 10.

[0025] Specifically, the second motor 6 drives the sliding rail 8 to rotate downward by 90°, and rotates the sliding rail 8 to a state parallel to the mounting seat 2, so as to avoid that the sliding rail 8 occupies too much space and affects the operation of the machining center. When the tool bit needs to be replaced, the second motor 6 rotates the sliding rail 8 in the opposite direction to reset the sliding rail 8 to the state in the drawing. At this time, the positioning frame 10 is distributed opposite to the old tool bit fixed on the leftmost machining center in the up and down direction. When the machining center lowers the height by using the lifting structure itself, the old tool bit passes through the two elastic sheets 15, and then the machining center releases the restriction on the old tool bit. At this time, the old tool bit is vertically fixed in the inside of the positioning frame 10.

[0026] The upper surface of the column 3 is fixedly connected with an automatic telescopic rod 4, the output end of the automatic telescopic rod 4 and the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 are fixedly connected with a push block 9 and a storage box 13 respectively. When the tool bit is replaced, the push block 9 enters the inside of the sliding rail 8 through the passing opening 11. The height and width of the passing opening 11 are greater than the width and length of the push block 9. When the tool bit is replaced, the lower end of the push block 9 is in contact with the lower surface of the tool bit. The inside of the storage box 13 is provided with a profiled clasp ring 14. When the tool bit is replaced, the profiled clasp ring 14 is inserted and clamped with the right end of the push block 9. The automatic telescopic rod 4, the push block 9 and the profiled clasp ring 14 are matched and used for pushing the new tool bit to the point of replacing the tool bit. The specific structure of the profiled clasp ring 14 is designed according to the shape of the tool bit and is used for clamping the old tool bit. The inside of the storage box 13 is fixedly connected with a sponge pad 16, the sponge pad 16 is in close contact with the surface of the profiled clasp ring 14, the length of the profiled clasp ring 14 is greater than the height of the sponge pad 16, one end of the profiled clasp ring 14 protruding from the upper surface of the sponge pad 16 is clamped with the push block 9, and the storage box 13 is matched with the sponge pad 16 and is used for storing the unused profiled clasp ring 14.

[0027] Specifically, the automatic telescopic rod 4 extends to drive the push block 9 to slide to the right, and the new tool head is separated from the buckle 18 while the push block 9 passes through the through opening 11. When the new tool head is separated from the buckle 18, part of the new tool head enters the inside of the profiling clasp 14. Even if the new tool head cannot completely fit the profiling clasp 14 adapted to the old tool head, the new tool head is still limited by the profiling clasp 14 to increase the stability of the new tool head during movement. After the new tool head moves to the point of replacing the tool head and is fixed to the machining center, the automatic telescopic rod 4 continues to push the push block 9 close to the positioning frame 10. In the process of the push block 9 entering the positioning frame 10, the profiling clasp 14 gradually clamps the old tool head in the vertical state, so as to integrate the old tool head with the push block 9 and move the old tool head to the tool head placing rack 12.

[0028] Working principle: the second motor 6 is used to rotate the slide rail 8 to a structure perpendicular to the gantry column. At this time, the tool head fixed to the machining center at the left end is opposite to the positioning frame 10 up and down. At this time, the height of the tool head is lowered by using the lifting structure of the tool head fixing place of the machining center, so that the lower end of the tool head fixed to the machining center passes through the two elastic sheets 15. At this time, the old tool head is limited by the tool head fixing place, and the old tool head is vertically positioned in the inside of the positioning frame 10.

[0029] After the old tool head is removed, the profiling clasp 14 capable of clamping the old tool head is selected according to the type of the old tool head, and then the profiling clasp 14 is fixed to the right end of the push block 9. At this time, the push block 9 is moved to the direction close to the positioning frame 10 by using the automatic telescopic rod 4. In this process, the new tool head opposite to the through opening 11 is carried by the push block 9. After the push block 9 pushes the positioning frame 10 and moves to the original position of the positioning frame 10, the new tool head falls to the machining center again. The tool head fixing assembly of the machining center is used to fix the new tool head. At this time, the machining center can be reset, and then the push block 9 is continuously pushed to move until the profiling clasp 14 clamps the old tool head. At this time, the old tool head is carried to the left by the push block 9. After the old tool head passes through the through opening 11, the old tool head is clamped with the buckle 18, so that the old tool head can be fixed to the tool head placing rack 12.

[0030] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail in combination with the drawings above, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the utility model.
