AI Technical Summary
Existing tool magazines are prone to tool drop and damage during tool changing due to insufficient gripping force or malfunction of the robotic arm. They also have weak tool protection performance, increasing maintenance costs. In addition, the tool magazine structure is complex and the linkage effect is poor.
A compact tool magazine structure was designed, comprising a protective component and a cleaning component. The protective component prevents the tools from falling out through a buffer shell and a protective net, while the cleaning component uses a hydraulic system to drive a cleaning brush to clean the tool housing.
It effectively prevents tools from falling during tool changes and reduces impacts, thereby lowering maintenance costs. It also reduces dust adhesion through cleaning components, extending the tool magazine's lifespan.
