[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] See Figures 1-5 A disc tool magazine includes a turntable 1, a positioning spindle 2, and a connecting assembly 9. The turntable 1 is rotatably mounted on the positioning spindle 2. The connecting assembly 9 is connected to one end of the positioning spindle 2 and is used to connect to the column of a machine tool. The outer edge of the turntable 1 is provided with a plurality of tool mounting parts 3 at even intervals. Each tool mounting part 3 includes a tool holder 4, a telescopic rod 5, a spring, and two hinges 7. The tool holder 4 is fixed on the turntable 1. The telescopic rod 5 is disposed in the through hole of the tool holder 4. The spring is mounted on the telescopic rod 5. The middle part of the hinge 7 is rotatably connected to the tool holder 4. The first end of the two hinges 7 is respectively connected to the two ends of the telescopic rod 5, and the second end is used to clamp the tool holder.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the disc tool magazine is connected to the machine tool column via connecting component 9. Specifically, the disc tool magazine can be located on the left or right side of the column. This left and right tool magazine arrangement between the two columns of the machine tool reduces the space occupied, making the machine tool structure more compact and the floor area smaller. The overall design and layout of the machine tool is more convenient for maintenance, installation and adjustment, and performance is more stable. The turntable 1 rotates to drive the tool mounting component 3 on it to cut the tool to the machining station. Two hinges 7 are used to clamp the tool holder, making the tool holder easy to assemble and disassemble. During assembly, the tool holder is pushed between the two hinges 7. The second ends of the two hinges 7 are pushed away from each other by the force of the tool holder. At this time, the first ends of the hinges 7 are brought closer to each other to compress the spring. After the tool holder is pushed between the second ends of the two hinges 7, the spring returns to its original position, thereby clamping the tool holder at the second ends of the two hinges 7, making tool holder assembly simple and convenient. During disassembly, the tool holder is pulled outward. At this time, the tool holder opens the second ends of the two hinges 7, thereby pulling out the tool holder.

[0026] In this embodiment, the tool mounting component 3 further includes a plurality of rollers 6, which are rotatably connected one-to-one to the second end of the hinge shank 7. When the tool handle is pushed between the second ends of the two hinge shanks 7 or pulled out between the second ends of the two hinge shanks 7, the surface of the tool handle contacts the rollers 6, and the rollers 6 help to push or pull out the tool handle.

[0027] In this embodiment, the present invention also includes a speed reducer 8. The worm gear of the speed reducer 8 is sleeved on the positioning spindle 2 through a bearing. The worm gear of the speed reducer 8 is connected to the turntable 1, and the speed reducer 8 is used to drive the turntable 1 to rotate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 9 includes a base 11 and a mounting base 12. The base 11 is connected to the positioning spindle 2, and the mounting base 12 is fixed to the side of the base 11. The mounting base 12 is used to connect the machine tool's columns. There are two options for fixing the mounting base 12 to the base 11: one is to fix the mounting base 12 to the left side of the base 11, in which case the mounting base 12 is connected to the left column of the machine tool from the right side, so that the disc tool magazine is located between the two columns; the other is to fix the mounting base 12 to the right side of the base 11, in which case the mounting base 12 is connected to the right column of the machine tool from the left side, so that the disc tool magazine is located between the two columns. This arrangement of left and right tool magazines between the two columns of the machine tool reduces the space occupied and makes the machine tool structure more compact.

[0029] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 9 further includes a fixing seat 10, which is flipped and connected to the base 11. The fixing seat 10 is used to connect the machine tool.

[0030] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 9 further includes a hinge shaft 13 and a locking nut 14. The hinge shaft 13 passes through the hinge sleeve of the base 11 and the fixed seat 10 and cooperates with the locking nut 14 to flip the fixed seat 10 onto the base 11. The tightness of the hinge shaft 13 can be adjusted to flip or lock the fixed seat 10.

[0031] In this embodiment, the present invention also includes a housing that covers the turntable 1, and the connecting component 9 extends outside the housing.

[0032] In this embodiment, the outer casing includes a top cover 15, a side cover 16, and a bottom cover 17. The top cover 15 covers the top of the turntable 1 and is specifically connected to the reducer 8. The side cover 16 covers the tool mounting part 3 and is connected to the top cover 15. The bottom cover 17 covers the top of the turntable 1 and is connected to the base 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom cover 17 is provided with a loading and unloading port 18, which is used for assembling or disassembling the knife handle.

[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features claimed herein.
