Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cutting tool technology, specifically relating to a quick-change device for cutting tools. Background Technology

[0002] Cutting tools are tools used for cutting processes in mechanical manufacturing. The vast majority of tools are machine-made, but some are hand-operated. Since the tools used in mechanical manufacturing are primarily for cutting metal materials, the term "tool" is generally understood to refer to metal cutting tools.

[0003] When cutting metal, different tools are needed to cut different parts of the metal. A tool changing device is required to quickly switch the tools. However, the tool changing device can only change the tools and cannot store the changed tools. As a result, debris will adhere to the surface of the tool during the storage process, causing rust to appear on the tool surface. Utility Model Content
