[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0016] Example:

[0017] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a double-locking knife changing arm, comprising a cam box 1, a telescopic and rotatable output shaft 2 driven by the cam box 1, and a knife arm assembly connected to the end of the output shaft 2. The knife arm assembly includes a knife arm body 3, which is pressed and locked to the bottom of the output shaft 2 of the cam box 1 by a clamping ring cover 4. The two ends of the knife arm body 3 are provided with knife-holding claws 5 for gripping the knife. Each knife-holding claw 5 has a knife-holding groove 6, and a top knife rod 7 is buoyantly mounted in the knife-holding groove 6 near the side of the knife arm body 3. The top of the top knife rod 7 is provided with a guide slope 8 on the side away from the knife retaining groove 6. The knife arm body 3 is provided with a safety top pin 9 that cooperates with the top knife rod 7 and is driven by the elastic force of the spring 16 to keep the top knife rod 7 in the extended state. The top of the safety top pin 9 extends out of the upper end face of the knife arm body 3. A positioning key 10 is provided on one side of the knife retaining groove 6. The knife is provided with a positioning groove 11 that matches the positioning key 10. The knife is provided with a knife face 12 that matches the knife retaining groove 6.

[0018] The number of the top cutter rod 7 and the number of the safety top pin 9 are both two and they are symmetrically arranged in the cutter arm body 3.

[0019] The blade arm body 3 has a first receiving cavity 13 along its length. The top blade rod 7 is located in the first receiving cavity 13. The top blade rod 7 adopts a segmented design. The circumferential surface of the large-diameter end of the top blade rod 7 is provided with a sliding groove 14 along its axial direction. The inner wall of the first receiving cavity 13 is connected to a slider 15 that extends into the sliding groove 14. The large-diameter top end of the top blade rod 7 is close to the retaining claw 5. A spring 16 is sleeved on the small-diameter section of the top blade rod 7. The two ends of the spring 16 are respectively connected to the end face of the large-diameter end of the top blade rod 7 and the inner wall of the first receiving cavity 13. The spring 16 is in a stretched state.

[0020] The blade body 3 has a second storage cavity 17 along its thickness direction. The lower end face of the blade body 3 is connected to a top pin cover plate 18. The top pin cover plate 18 has a third storage cavity 19 that communicates with the second storage cavity 17. The safety top pin 9 is located in the top pin storage cavity formed by the second storage cavity 17 and the third storage cavity 19. The top end of the safety top pin 9 is connected to a top rod 20, which penetrates the upper end face of the blade body 3. The bottom end of the safety top pin 9 is connected to a top pin spring 22, which is in a compressed state. The small diameter end of the pusher rod 7 penetrates into the second storage cavity 17. The top of the safety top pin 9 near the pusher rod 7 is set as an inclined surface 21, and the end of the pusher rod 7 abuts against the inclined surface 21.

[0021] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The cam box 1 drives the output shaft 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the cutter arm body 3 to rotate and engage the cutter. The guide slope 8 located at the end of the top cutter rod 7 can play a guiding role, so that the cutter is smoothly engaged into the cutter claw 5. The cutter groove 6 is in contact with the cutter at the abutment surface 12. The positioning key 10 is engaged in the positioning groove 11, thereby performing the first step of locking the cutter. The elastic force provided by the top pin spring 22 keeps the safety top pin 9 in the pushed-out state, which in turn abuts the top rod 20 to keep the top cutter rod 7 in the extended state. One end of 7 abuts against the side of the tool to perform a second-step locking of the tool, thereby greatly improving the stability of tool changing; after the tool is locked, the cam box 1 drives the tool arm body 3 to take out the tool and rotate it to the tool changing position. The cam box 1 drives the output shaft 2 to retract, installing the tool into the tool slot. During the retraction of the output shaft 2, the push rod 20 touches the lower end face of the cam box 1 and pushes the safety pin 9 downward. The push rod 7 retracts under the contraction force of the spring 16, releasing the locking of the tool. The output shaft 2 drives the tool arm body 3 to rotate, releasing the tool.

[0022] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
