[0021] A tool magazine facilitating tool changing, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , comprising a tool seat 1 for placing tools, a frame 11 is arranged outside the tool seat 1 for protecting the tool seat 1, an opening 12 is formed on one side of the frame 11, a driving mechanism 2 is arranged on the side of the tool seat 1 away from the opening 12, and the driving mechanism 2 is used to drive the tool seat 1 to enter and exit the opening 12.

[0022] The frame 11 is provided with a magazine door 13 at the opening 12, and the frame 11 is connected with the magazine door 13 through a hinge on the bottom side, a linkage mechanism 3 is arranged between the tool seat 1 and the magazine door 13, and the linkage mechanism 3 can drive the closure of the magazine door 13 by parallel movement of the tool magazine.

[0023] The embodiment arranges the tools on the tool seat 1 in sequence, protects the tools on the tool seat 1 by the frame 11, drives the tool seat 1 in and out of the opening 12 by the driving mechanism 2, and drives the tool seat 1 to move in and out of the opening 12 by the driving mechanism 2. The frame 11 is provided with the door 13 at the opening 12, and the door 13 is closed with the movement of the tool seat 1 under the driving of the linkage mechanism 3. The door 13 is always located at the bottom of the tool seat 1, which avoids the interference of the door 13 when the tools are replaced, and is beneficial to the replacement of the tools.

[0024] Specifically, the linkage mechanism 3 includes an arc-shaped guide rail 31 arranged on the tool seat 1 and a sliding block 32 fixedly installed on the door 13. The sliding block 32 is embedded in the arc-shaped guide rail 31, and the arc-shaped guide rail 31 is arranged in the vertical direction.

[0025] The driving mechanism 2 drives the tool seat 1 to move in and out of the opening 12, and the tool seat 1 moves linearly. The parallel movement of the tool magazine drives the door 13 to close, that is, the door 13 is flipped. The sliding block 32 slides along the arc-shaped guide rail 31, and the arc-shaped guide rail 31 is decomposed into vertical and horizontal movements. When the tool seat 1 moves linearly, the door 13 fixedly installed with the sliding block 32 is flipped.

[0026] Specifically, the arc-shaped guide rail 31 is arranged on both sides of the tool seat 1, and the sliding block 32 is arranged on both sides of the door 13.

[0027] In order to maintain the stability of the door 13, the corresponding sliding block 32 is arranged on both sides of the door 13, the arc-shaped guide rail 31 is arranged on both sides of the tool seat 1, and the linkage of the door 13 and the tool seat 1 is facilitated by connecting and supporting the sliding block 32 and the arc-shaped guide rail 31.
