[0014] 1. This vertical turning quick-change tool holder, by setting up a tool magazine and tool changing mechanism, can pre-install the tool holder in the tool magazine, changing the traditional method of manual installation and adjustment of turning tools, greatly improving the convenience of using turning tools. In actual machining, when it is necessary to change turning tools, there is no need for tedious manual installation. The tool holder with the pre-installed tool can be directly retrieved from the tool magazine through the tool changing mechanism, saving a lot of tool changing time.

[0015] 2. This quick-change tool holder for vertical turning uses a limit block and a tool holder positioning plate to achieve limiting, ensuring the stability of the tool holder during operation. During the turning process, the tool holder will not be displaced due to vibration or other factors, thereby ensuring the accuracy of turning and improving product quality. For example, when machining high-precision parts, stable tool holder positioning can control the turning dimensional error within a very small range.

[0016] 3. This vertical turning quick-change tool holder, by setting tool one and tool two on the tool holder, meets the diverse needs of different turning processes. When facing multiple machining tasks, there is no need to frequently change the tool holder or tool. By switching to different tools on the tool holder, different turning process requirements can be quickly adapted. For example, different tools can be selected for roughing and finishing, which improves machining efficiency and equipment versatility.

[0017] 4. This quick-change tool holder for vertical turning uses a positioning key to achieve precise positioning between the tool holder and the standard tool holder, making the connection more reliable. During turning, the stable connection can effectively transmit power and avoid problems such as tool holder loosening and tool runout caused by unstable connection, ensuring smooth turning and extending the service life of the tool and tool holder.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a quick-change tool holder for vertical turning, including a turning turntable 1, a workpiece 2 fixedly arranged above the turning turntable 1, a tool holder 3 arranged above the workpiece 2, a tool holder positioning plate 4 fixedly arranged above the tool holder 3, a slide spindle unit 5 arranged above the tool holder positioning plate 4, the tool holder 3 being pulled tight by the slide spindle unit 5 through a standard tool holder 6, a limit block 7 being provided on the tool holder 3, the limit block 7 and the tool holder positioning plate 4 being limited, a first tool 8 and a second tool 9 being provided on the tool holder 3, a positioning key 10 being used to position the tool holder 3 and the standard tool holder 6, a tool magazine 11 being provided on one side of the tool holder 3, and a tool changing mechanism 12 being provided on one side of the tool magazine 11, through which the tool holder 3 is put into the tool magazine 11.

[0025] A limit block 7 is provided on the tool holder 3. The limit block 7 and the tool holder positioning plate 4 limit the position of the tool holder 3 to ensure stable positioning during operation. The tool holder 3 is equipped with a first tool 8 and a second tool 9 to meet the diverse tool requirements of different turning processes. The positioning key 10 realizes the positioning between the tool holder 3 and the standard tool holder 6, making the connection between the tool holder 3 and the standard tool holder 6 more accurate and reliable. A tool magazine 11 is provided on one side of the tool holder 3. The tool magazine 11 is used to store spare tool holders and tools. A tool changing mechanism 12 is provided on one side of the tool magazine 11. The tool holder 3 is put into the tool magazine 11 through the tool changing mechanism 12 to realize quick tool holder replacement and improve machining efficiency. The turning table 1, the slide spindle unit 5, the tool magazine 11 and the tool changing mechanism 12 cooperate with each other to achieve efficient and accurate turning of the workpiece 2.

[0026] Working principle: Before vertical turning, different types of turning tools (such as turning tool 1 8 and turning tool 2 9) are installed on the tool holder 3 and accurately installed on the standard tool holder 6 via the positioning key 10. Then, the tool holder 3 is placed in the tool magazine 11 for later use. When turning is required, the ram spindle unit 5 moves to the tool magazine 11, and the tool changing mechanism 12 takes the required tool holder 3 from the tool magazine 11 and moves it above the workpiece 2. At this time, the tool holder 3 is tightened and fixed by the ram spindle unit 5 via the standard tool holder 6. The limit block 7 on the tool holder 3 and the tool holder positioning plate are... 4. With proper coordination, the tool holder 3 is stably positioned. The turning table 1 drives the workpiece 2 to rotate. The ram spindle unit 5 drives the tool holder 3 and the cutting tool to perform corresponding feed movements. The workpiece 2 is machined using cutting tool 8 or cutting tool 9. When it is necessary to change the cutting tool or tool holder to adapt to different machining processes, the ram spindle unit 5 moves back to the tool magazine 11. The tool changing mechanism 12 puts the used tool holder 3 into the tool magazine 11 and takes out a new tool holder 3 and installs it on the ram spindle unit 5. The above turning process is repeated to achieve efficient and accurate vertical turning.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
