[0028] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An adjustable height tool magazine, comprising: a base 1; a connecting seat 2 is provided on the top of the base 1, and an installation cavity 3 is provided inside the connecting seat 2, in which a first servo motor 4 is installed; an installation hole 5 is provided on the top of the connecting seat 2, and a bearing 6 is installed in the installation hole 5; a drive rod 7 is fixed to the output end of the first servo motor 4, and part of the drive rod 7 is fixed inside the bearing 6; a placement seat 8 is fixed to the top of the drive rod 7, and a placement hole 9 is provided on the top of the placement seat 8, in which a tool 10 is placed; a rack 15 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting seat 2; a vertical bar 28 is fixed to the top of the base 1, and a second servo motor 13 is installed on the outer wall of the vertical bar 28, the output end of the second servo motor 13 passes through the vertical bar 28 and is fixed with a gear 14 that meshes with the rack 15; a limit hole 11 is provided on the top of the base 1, and a limit rod 12 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting seat 2 and is movably disposed in the limit hole 11.

[0031] Specifically, this invention activates the second servo motor 13, which drives the gear 14 to rotate. Since the gear 14 meshes with the rack 15, the rotation of the gear 14 drives the rack 15 to move, which in turn drives the connecting seat 2, the placement seat 8, and the tool 10 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the connecting seat 2, the placement seat 8, and the tool 10. Compared with existing designs, this invention can adjust the height of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, and tool 10), making it suitable for different types of automatic tool changers. It is highly practical and meets current needs.

[0032] Because of the limiting hole 11 and the limiting rod 12, when the height of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, tool 10) is adjusted, the limiting rod 12 will move accordingly within the limiting hole 11. With the cooperation of the limiting hole 11 and the limiting rod 12, the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, tool 10) can be limited to avoid deviation and improve the working accuracy of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, tool 10).

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable height tool magazine, wherein an L-shaped strip 27 is fixed to the outer wall of a rack 15, a mounting groove 16 is provided on the top of a base 1, a concave block 17 is fixed to the inner wall of one side of the mounting groove 16, a first long strip 18 is movably connected in the concave block 17, a first movable groove 19 is provided at one end of the first long strip 18, a second long strip 20 is movably connected in the first movable groove 19, a second movable groove 21 is provided at one end of the second long strip 20, a movable component 22 is movably connected in the second movable groove 21, a connecting component 23 is fixed at one end of the movable component 22, a threaded hole 24 is provided on the outer wall of the base 1 that communicates with the mounting groove 16, a threaded rod 25 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole 24, a rotating component 26 is fixed at one end of the threaded rod 25, and the other end of the threaded rod 25 is rotatably connected to the connecting component 23, and the first long strip 18 abuts against the L-shaped strip 27.

[0035] Specifically, please refer to Embodiment 1. After the height of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, and tool 10) is adjusted, the threaded rod 25 is rotated using the rotating component 26. At this time, the threaded rod 25 will move within the threaded hole 24. Since the first long strip 18 is movably connected to the concave block 17 on one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 16, and the second long strip 20 is movably connected to the first movable groove 19 at one end of the first long strip 18, and a movable component 22 is movably connected to the second movable groove 21 at one end of the second long strip 20, the movable component 22 is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded rod 25 via the connecting component 23, the movable connection of the first long strip 18 and the second long strip 20 will arch when the threaded rod 25 moves. When the first long strip 18 abuts against the L-shaped strip 27, under the action of the first long strip 18 and the second long strip 20, it can cooperate with the L-shaped strip 27 and the rack 15 to support the connecting seat 2, thereby improving the working stability of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, and tool 10).

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] The operator first installs the base 1 in the designated area, and then adjusts the height of the tool magazine according to the corresponding automatic tool changer. During adjustment, the operator starts the second servo motor 13, which drives the gear 14 to rotate. Since the gear 14 meshes with the rack 15, the rotation of the gear 14 drives the rack 15 to move, and the rack 15 in turn drives the connecting seat 2, the placement seat 8, and the tool 10 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the connecting seat 2, the placement seat 8, and the tool 10. Limit holes 1 are provided. 1. Limiting rod 12: When adjusting the height of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, tool 10), the limiting rod 12 will move accordingly within the limiting hole 11. With the cooperation of the limiting hole 11 and the limiting rod 12, the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, tool 10) can be limited to prevent displacement, thus improving the working accuracy of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, tool 10). After the height of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, tool 10) is adjusted, the operator uses the rotating part 26 to rotate the threaded rod 25. When the threaded rod 25 moves within the threaded hole 24, the first long strip 18 is movably connected to the concave block 17 on one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 16, and the second long strip 20 is movably connected to the first movable groove 19 at one end of the first long strip 18. A movable part 22 is movably connected to the second movable groove 21 at one end of the second long strip 20. The movable part 22 is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded rod 25 via a connector 23. Therefore, when the threaded rod 25 moves, the movable connection between the first long strip 18 and the second long strip 20 will arch. When the first long strip 18 abuts against the L-shaped strip 27... Subsequently, under the action of the first long bar 18 and the second long bar 20, the L-shaped bar 27 and the rack 15 can support the connecting seat 2, thereby improving the working stability of the tool magazine (connecting seat 2, placement seat 8, tool 10). When the automatic tool changer is working, the PLC controller will start the first servo motor 4 in the mounting cavity 3. The first servo motor 4 will drive the placement seat 8 to rotate using the drive rod 7. The PLC controller will then start the automatic tool changer to take out the tool 10 from the corresponding placement hole 9, and then use the tool 10 to process the workpiece.
