Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straight-line tool magazine technology, and in particular to a straight-line tool magazine. Background Technology

[0002] A linear tool magazine is a device that stores tools in a straight line. It is usually installed on the side or rear of a machine tool, providing ample tool reserves for machining equipment. Through an automated system, tools can be quickly switched to meet different machining needs, reduce tool change time, and optimize the production process. The tools are arranged in a straight line, which facilitates quick positioning and tool retrieval. The tools are fixed by guide rods, which can slide in a straight line to facilitate moving the tools to the spindle tool retrieval area. The sliding of the tool guide rods is usually driven by a cylinder or servo motor. Some designs also include a moving mechanism to reduce the number of driving components, reduce costs and complexity. The tool magazine has a compact structure that can adapt to the space constraints of different machine tools, and it is also waterproof, oil-proof, and chip-proof.

[0003] In existing technologies, because the tool magazine cannot be sealed, dust, debris, and other impurities generated during machining may enter the tool storage area, adhering to the tool surface or entering the tool magazine. These impurities can affect the tool positioning accuracy, leading to a decrease in machining accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a straight-line tool magazine.

[0007] A door is rotatably installed on one side of the top of the box, and connecting plates are rotatably installed on both sides of the door. The other ends of the two connecting plates are rotatably connected to the two sides of the movable plate, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting drive device is a cylinder, and an auxiliary guide assembly is installed in the receiving cavity for guiding the moving plate when it moves.

[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary guide assembly includes a mounting plate installed in the receiving cavity and two sliders installed on one side of the mounting plate. Two slide rails are installed on one side of the movable plate, and the two sliders are slidably connected to the corresponding slide rails.

[0010] Preferably, the straight blade clamp assembly includes a base plate fixedly mounted on the top of the movable plate and a plurality of blade clamps mounted on the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, each of the plurality of blade clips includes two jaws, both jaws are rotatably mounted on the blade disc, a spring is connected between the rear ends of the two jaws, and an arc-shaped clamping part is provided at one end of each of the two jaws.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on one side of the housing.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention, through a lifting drive device, can drive the moving plate to rise, which in turn moves the connecting plates on both sides, opening the door at the top of the housing. Then, by using the straight tool holder assembly, the tools can be moved out of the housing, facilitating the supply of sufficient tools to the processing equipment. When the moving plate returns to the receiving cavity, the connecting plates can drive the door to seal the receiving cavity, preventing dust from entering. This solves the problem in the prior art where the tool magazine cannot be sealed, and dust, debris, and other impurities generated during processing may enter the tool storage area.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 3A straight-line tool magazine includes a housing 1, a receiving cavity 2 is provided on one side of the housing 1, a lifting drive device 3 is installed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 2, a moving plate 4 is installed at the driving end of the lifting drive device 3, and a straight tool clamp assembly is installed at the top of the moving plate 4.

[0021] A door 5 is rotatably installed on one side of the top of the box body 1, and connecting plates 6 are rotatably installed on both sides of the door 5. The other ends of the two connecting plates 6 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the movable plate 4, respectively.

[0022] When in use, the lifting drive device 3 can drive the moving plate 4 to rise, which in turn drives the connecting plates 6 on both sides to move, opening the door 5 at the top of the housing 1. Then, the straight tool holder assembly moves the tool outside the housing 1, providing sufficient tools for the processing equipment. When the moving plate 4 returns to the receiving cavity 2, the connecting plates 6 can drive the door 5 to seal the receiving cavity 2, preventing dust from entering. This solves the problem in the prior art where the tool magazine cannot be sealed, and dust, debris and other impurities generated during processing may enter the tool storage area.

[0023] Furthermore, the lifting drive device 3 is a cylinder, and an auxiliary guide assembly is installed in the receiving cavity 2 to guide the moving plate 4 when it moves. The auxiliary guide assembly includes a mounting plate 7 installed in the receiving cavity 2 and two sliders 8 installed on one side of the mounting plate 7. Two slide rails 9 are installed on one side of the moving plate 4, and the two sliders 8 are slidably connected to the corresponding slide rails 9. Through the slide rails 9 and sliders 8, when the cylinder drives the moving plate 4 to move, the sliders 8 can move along the slide rails 9 to prevent the moving plate 4 from deviating during movement.

[0024] Furthermore, the straight tool holder assembly includes a base plate 10 fixedly mounted on the top of the movable plate 4 and a plurality of tool holders 11 mounted on the base plate 10. Each of the tool holders 11 includes two grippers 12, and the two grippers 12 are rotatably mounted on the tool disc. A spring 13 is connected between the rear ends of the two grippers 12. One end of each of the two grippers 12 is provided with an arc-shaped clamping part. The tool can be clamped through the arc-shaped clamping part at the end of the two grippers 12. The spring 13 makes the two grippers 12 clamp the tool tightly to prevent the tool from loosening.

[0025] Furthermore, a number of mounting holes 14 are provided on one side of the housing 1. Through the mounting holes 14, bolts can be passed through the mounting holes 14 to install the housing 1 on the side of the machine tool, which facilitates the replacement of tools.
