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.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-4The CNC machine tool tool magazine cover shown includes a support frame 1, which serves as the foundation for fixing and supporting the entire cover structure, providing a stable framework for the installation of other components. A sliding plate 5 is slidably connected to the outer side of the support frame 1, allowing smooth sliding on the support frame 1. A support block 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 5, serving to connect and support the protective cover 14 and related rotating and clamping components, ensuring the integrity and stability of the structure. The protective cover 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support block 8, effectively preventing foreign objects such as chips and coolant from entering the tool magazine, playing a crucial role in protecting the tool magazine and tools, extending their service life, and ensuring machining accuracy. A rotating component is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support block 8. The rotating disk 18 can rotate around its connection point with the support block 8, thereby driving the related components on its outer side to adjust their angles. Multiple grooves 17 are formed on the outer side of the rotating disk 18, which are adapted to the guide blocks 22 in the deflection assembly. During the rotation of the rotating disk 18, a deflection disk 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disk 18. The deflection disk 23 rotates together with the rotating disk 18, thereby driving the multiple clamping frames 19 fixedly connected to its outer side to rotate synchronously. A motor 9 is installed on the outer side of the support block 8. The motor 9 serves as a power source, providing power for the rotation of the rotating disk 18, enabling it to respond quickly and accurately to control commands and achieve efficient tool clamping and releasing operations. The output end of the motor 9 passes through... The support block 8 and the output end of the motor 9 are equipped with a deflection assembly. The deflection assembly includes a rotating block 21 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9. The rotating block 21 transmits the rotational power of the motor 9 to the guide block 22. The bottom of the rotating block 21 is fixedly connected to a guide block 22 that matches the groove 17. The movement of the guide block 22 within the groove 17 ensures the stability and directionality of the rotation of the rotating disk 18. The clamping frame 19 is made of elastic steel plate. The clamping frame 19 made of elastic steel plate has a certain degree of elasticity, which can firmly clamp the tool and prevent it from loosening during processing. It can also buffer the impact force on the tool to a certain extent, protecting the tool and the clamping frame 19 itself. The inner wall side of the clamping frame 19 is fixedly connected to a guide rail 20. The 0 provides guidance for the insertion and removal of tools, enabling tools to accurately and quickly enter and leave the clamping frame 19, improving the efficiency and accuracy of tool changing; the outer side of the protective cover 14 has a slot, which provides space for the installation and movement of the toothed ring 16 and the baffle 15. The top of the protective cover 14 is rotatably connected to the toothed ring 16, which can rotate on the top of the protective cover 14. The bottom of the toothed ring 16 is fixedly connected to the baffle 15, which is adapted to the slot. The baffle 15 can close or open the slot under the action of the toothed ring 16. When it is necessary to operate the tool magazine, the baffle 15 can be opened to facilitate the operator to install, adjust and perform other work on the tools. After the operation is completed, the baffle 15 is closed to continue to protect the tool magazine from the intrusion of foreign objects.A positioning frame 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support block 8. The positioning frame 10 provides a stable mounting position for the servo motor 11, ensuring that the servo motor 11 will not shift or shake during operation. The servo motor 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning frame 10. As a precise power control device, the servo motor 11 can accurately control the rotation angle and speed of its output end. A rotating plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 11. The rotating plate 12 transmits the rotational motion of the servo motor 11 to the gear teeth 13. The outer side of the rotating plate 12 is fixedly connected to the gear teeth 13 that mesh with the gear ring 16. Through the meshing transmission between the gear teeth 13 and the gear ring 16, precise rotation control of the gear ring 16 is achieved, thereby accurately controlling the opening and closing action of the baffle 15 and meeting the protection requirements of the tool magazine under different working conditions.

[0024] In this embodiment, the servo motor 11 drives the gear 13 to rotate via the rotating plate 12, and drives the baffle 15 to deflect via the gear ring 16, thus removing the obstruction of the empty slot. The motor 9 drives the rotating block 21 and the guide block 22 to rotate, which cooperate with multiple grooves 17 to deflect the rotating disk 18 at a certain angle. Through the continuous rotation of the motor 9, the rotating disk 18 drives the deflection disk 23 and the clamping frame 19 to rotate, so that the corresponding clamping frame 19 deflects to the position aligned with the empty slot. The tool is then inserted into the clamping frame 19 by an externally installed robotic arm, which facilitates the placement of the tool. The servo motor 11 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the baffle 15 is reset and obstructs the empty slot, making it easier to store and place the tool.

[0025] Example 2: Reference Figure 1-4Based on the same concept as Embodiment 1 above, this embodiment also proposes that the support frame 1, as the basic support component of the entire structure, provides a stable installation position and support force for other components, ensuring the structural stability of the entire device. The inner groove 2 of the support frame 1 guides and restricts the movement direction of the slider 4, enabling the slider 4 to slide smoothly and accurately in a straight line along the groove 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement trajectory of the sliding plate 5 fixedly connected to the slider 4, and preventing it from deviating or shaking during movement. The slider 4 connects the sliding plate 5 to the groove 2, realizing the sliding function of the sliding plate 5 relative to the support frame 1; on the other hand, it is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 3. When the threaded rod 3 rotates, the rotational motion of the motor 7 is converted into its own linear reciprocating motion along the groove 2 through the transmission action of the thread, thereby driving the sliding plate 5 to achieve the corresponding displacement operation, meeting the needs of adjusting the position of the sliding plate 5 in different working scenarios; the outer side of the support frame 1 is fixed. The connecting bracket 6 is used to install the motor 7, providing a stable fixed support point for the motor 7, ensuring the stability of the motor 7 during operation, and preventing displacement or loosening due to vibration or external forces, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the entire transmission system. The motor 7, as a power source, converts electrical energy into mechanical energy through the threaded rod 3 fixedly connected to its output end, driving the threaded rod 3 to rotate, providing power support for the linear motion of the slider 4, and thus realizing the position control of the sliding plate 5, meeting various action requirements in automated production or equipment operation, and improving the automation level and working performance of the equipment. The threaded rod 3 rotates under the drive of the motor 7, and its threaded connection with the slider 4 allows the slider 4 to move precisely linearly within the groove 2. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the motor 7, the position and moving speed of the slider 4 and the sliding plate 5 can be precisely adjusted to meet the motion accuracy requirements under different working conditions, making the operation of the entire device more flexible and efficient.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
