[0002] Drill and tap machine is an advanced processing equipment, often used in the field such as manufacturing mechanical parts, automobile parts, aerospace components. Tool magazine is an important component of drill and tap machine, and its structural design and function realization are of great significance to improve processing efficiency and precision.
[0003] However, in the traditional tool magazine structure, the cutter head is usually set as an integral disc-shaped component, and the size is often set to be relatively large. A circular arc opening is arranged at the edge of the disc-shaped structure to adapt to the simultaneous installation of multiple tools. Although this method meets the operation requirements to some extent, it also brings some inconvenience, such as the large volume and weight of the disc-shaped structure, which increases the overall burden of the equipment and also increases the manufacturing cost. In addition, since the tools are directly installed on the disc-shaped component, when the tools need to be replaced or the tool layout needs to be adjusted, the entire cutter head often needs to be disassembled and replaced, which not only is cumbersome to operate, but also further increases the manufacturing cost.
[0004] Therefore, a new scheme is needed to solve this problem. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a drill and tap tool magazine structure, which has the advantages of reduced volume and weight, reduced manufacturing cost, simplified operation process, reduced work efficiency and maintenance cost, small space occupancy rate and compact structure.

[0013] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: By improving the traditional one-piece large disc-shaped cutter head structure to consist of a small connecting disc and multiple detachable extension arms, the volume and weight of the cutter magazine are effectively reduced. This not only lightens the overall burden on the drilling and tapping machine but also helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the equipment. Furthermore, since the extension arms and connecting disc are detachably connected, when it is necessary to change tools or adjust the tool layout, it is not necessary to disassemble and replace the entire cutter head.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0021] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the application provides a drill bit magazine structure for a drill bit machine, the drill bit machine comprising a spindle holder and a spindle arranged on the spindle holder. The drill bit magazine structure comprises a mounting seat 1, a tool disc arranged on the mounting seat 1, and a driving assembly arranged between the mounting seat 1 and the tool disc for driving the tool disc to rotate. The tool disc comprises a connecting disc 2 and a plurality of extension arms 3 arranged in an annular array along the circumferential direction of the connecting disc 2 and detachably connected with the connecting disc 2. Each of the extension arms 3 is provided with a tool mounting clamp 4 at an end thereof away from the connecting disc 2. When the tool mounting clamp 4 rotates with the connecting disc 2 to a tool changing position, the central axis of the clamping opening of the tool mounting clamp 4 is coaxial with the spindle of the drill bit machine. The tool changing position is a position directly below the spindle. The drill bit magazine structure further comprises the following components of the prior art: specifically, a frame-shaped holder 16 fixedly sleeved on the spindle holder and a connecting seat 18 fixed on the frame-shaped holder 16. The mounting seat 1 is hingedly connected with the connecting seat 18. A tension spring 17 is further arranged between the mounting seat 1 and the frame-shaped holder 16 for driving the tool disc to move towards the spindle. A driving member is further arranged between the mounting seat 1 and the frame-shaped holder 16 for overcoming the tension of the tension spring 17 and making the tool disc move away from the spindle. In addition, the encoder inside the tool disc and the brake assembly for braking the tool disc are all of the prior art, and will not be described herein again.
[0022] Specifically, a bowl-shaped structure is formed between the connecting disc 2 and the plurality of extension arms 3. The opening of the bowl-shaped structure is arranged towards the spindle of the drill bit machine. A boss 21 is concentrically arranged on the connecting disc 2 and is arranged at an end away from the opening of the bowl-shaped structure. A cavity is arranged in the boss 21 and is in communication with the opening of the bowl-shaped structure. The cavity is used for accommodating the driving assembly.
[0023] When the drill bit magazine structure is in operation, the driving assembly on the mounting seat 1 drives the connecting disc 2 and the plurality of extension arms 3 arranged in an annular array thereon to rotate. Each of the extension arms 3 is provided with a tool mounting clamp 4 at the end thereof. When the tool mounting clamp 4 rotates with the connecting disc 2 to a tool changing position, the central axis of the clamping opening of the tool mounting clamp 4 is coaxial with the spindle, thereby facilitating tool changing. The specific tool changing mode is not within the protection scope of the utility model, and the prior art is adopted, and will not be described herein again.
[0024] The above-mentioned mode effectively reduces the volume and weight of the tool magazine by improving the traditional integrated large-disk tool magazine structure into a small-size connecting disk 2 and a plurality of detachable extension arms 3, which not only reduces the overall burden of the drilling and tapping machine, but also helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the equipment. Since the extension arm 3 and the connecting disk 2 are detachably connected, when the tool needs to be replaced or the tool layout needs to be adjusted, the entire tool magazine does not need to be disassembled and replaced. Only the specific extension arm 3 and the tool mounting clamp 4 thereon need to be simply disassembled or reassembled, greatly simplifying the operation process, improving the work efficiency, and reducing the maintenance cost. At the same time, by constructing the bowl-shaped structure formed between the connecting disk 2 and the plurality of extension arms 3, and ingeniously utilizing the cavity in the boss 21 to accommodate the driving assembly, the overall layout of the tool magazine is optimized, the space occupation is reduced, and the compactness and integration of the structure are improved.
[0025] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the driving assembly includes a bracket, a driving motor 8 fixed in the bracket, and a harmonic reducer 9 fixed at one end of the bracket by a first bolt 10.

Specifically, the output end of the harmonic reducer 9 is provided with a third threaded hole, the end face of the boss 21 is provided with a third connecting hole, and the third bolt 13 is threadedly connected with the third threaded hole after passing through the third connecting hole.
[0026] In the above arrangement, the tool magazine can be disassembled as a whole by loosening the second bolt 11, and then the corresponding components can be disassembled by loosening the third bolt 13 and the first bolt 10. Alternatively, the second bolt 11 can not be loosened, and the corresponding components can be disassembled by directly loosening the third bolt 13 and the first bolt 10. Therefore, the user can choose to loosen different combinations of bolts, which can realize the overall disassembly for maintenance or replacement, or can individually disassemble the connection between the harmonic reducer 9 and the boss 21 or the connection between the harmonic reducer 9 and the bracket without disturbing the fixing of the mounting seat 1. This diversified disassembly greatly improves the work efficiency and the flexibility of operation. The driving assembly adopts the driving motor 8 and the harmonic reducer 9, which makes the entire transmission path more compact and stable, and is beneficial to improve the positioning accuracy of the tool magazine.
