Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool magazine technology, and in particular to a disc-shaped tool magazine. Background Technology
[0002] As the core equipment of modern precision machinery manufacturing, CNC equipment performs high-precision and high-efficiency machining of workpieces through a computer numerical control system. During equipment operation, the tool magazine, as a core functional module, is usually integrated into the machining center in a chain, disc, or tower structure. Inside, dozens to hundreds of standardized tool holders are arranged in an array. These tool holders achieve precise positioning and rigid clamping of the tool holders through hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical locking mechanisms, providing fast and reliable automatic tool exchange support for the machining spindle.
[0003] Existing tool magazines have complex structures, and their housings or outlets lack effective seals. During machining, splashed chips, coolant, or dust can easily enter the tool magazine, causing damage and increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a disc-shaped tool magazine.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A disc-shaped tool magazine includes a dome cover. A receiving cavity is formed on one side of the dome cover. A rotating rod is rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity. One end of the rotating rod extends through the dome cover to one side of the dome cover. An outlet is formed on one side of the dome cover and is connected to the receiving cavity. A rotating cover is disposed on one side of the outlet. One end of the rotating cover is rotatably connected to the rotating rod. A tool clamping assembly is installed at one end of the rotating rod.
[0007] Preferably, both the conical cover and the receiving cavity are circular, and the rotating cover is fan-shaped.
[0008] Preferably, the receiving cavity is semi-circular, and the rotating cover is adapted to the outlet.
[0009] Preferably, the tool clamping assembly includes a tool disc fixedly mounted on one side of the rotating rod and a plurality of tool clamps mounted on one side of the tool disc, wherein one side of the tool clamp is provided with a clamping opening.
[0010] Preferably, the tool holder has two mounting holes on one side and two bolts on the other side, with the two bolts passing through the corresponding mounting holes and threaded onto the tool disc.
[0011] Preferably, a groove is provided on one side of the blade holder for mounting the detection component.
[0012] Preferably, the rotation axis of the tool on the tool holder is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the tool disc in space, and the tool on the tool holder passes through the outlet from back to front along the rotation axis of the tool disc for tool replacement.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention utilizes a tool clamping assembly to hold the tool within a receiving cavity. A rotating rod allows for tool replacement; when a tool needs to be changed, the rotating cover opens the outlet. A drive assembly rotates the rod, moving the tool clamped in the tool clamping assembly to different positions for replacement through the outlet. When tool replacement is not required, the rotating cover can be closed to prevent chips, coolant, or dust from easily entering the receiving cavity. This solves the problem of poor sealing in existing tool magazines, which allows dust and chips to easily enter the magazine. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.
[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5A disc-shaped tool magazine includes a hat-shaped cover 1. A receiving cavity 2 is provided on one side of the hat-shaped cover 1. A rotating rod 3 is rotatably arranged in the receiving cavity 2. One end of the rotating rod 3 extends through the hat-shaped cover 1 to one side of the hat-shaped cover 1. An outlet 4 is provided on one side of the hat-shaped cover 1 and the outlet 4 is connected to the receiving cavity 2. A rotating cover 5 is provided on one side of the outlet 4. One end of the rotating cover 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 3. A tool clamping assembly is installed on one end of the rotating rod 3.
[0023] When in use, this device can clamp the cutting tool in the receiving cavity 2. When the cutting tool needs to be replaced, the rotating cover 5 can be rotated via the rotating rod 3 to open the outlet 4. The rotating rod 3 is driven by the drive assembly to rotate, so that the cutting tool clamped on the cutting tool clamping assembly can be moved to different positions and then replaced through the outlet 4. When the cutting tool does not need to be replaced, the rotating cover 5 can be closed to prevent chips, coolant or dust from easily entering the receiving cavity 2. This solves the problem of poor sealing effect of the cutting tool magazine in the prior art, which makes it easy for dust and chips to enter the cutting tool magazine.
[0024] The switch of the rotating cover 5 can be controlled manually, or a rotating motor can be installed on one side of the rotating cover 5 to control the switch of the outlet 4.
[0025] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the rotating cover 5 is movably connected to the outer wall of the straw hat cover 1, allowing the rotating cover 5 to rotate along the outer periphery of the straw hat cover 1.
[0026] Furthermore, both the conical cover 1 and the receiving cavity 2 are circular, while the rotating cover 5 is fan-shaped. The circular conical cover 1 and the receiving cavity 2 are structurally symmetrical, resulting in uniform force distribution and reduced vibration and wear during rotation. The fan-shaped rotating cover 5 fits tightly with the circular structure, optimizing space utilization.
[0027] Furthermore, the receiving cavity 2 is semi-circular, and the rotating cover 5 is adapted to the outlet 4. The precise adaptation between the rotating cover 5 and the outlet 4 ensures that the tool can enter and exit smoothly without jamming, while also enhancing the sealing performance to prevent chips or coolant from entering.
[0028] Furthermore, the tool clamping assembly includes a tool disc 6 fixedly installed on one side of the rotating rod 3 and a plurality of tool clips 7 installed on one side of the tool disc 6. A clamping port 8 is provided on one side of the tool clip 7. The tool disc 6 and the tool clips 7 facilitate the replacement or maintenance of tools, and the tools can be clamped through the clamping port 8.
[0029] Furthermore, the tool holder 7 has two mounting holes 9 on one side and two bolts 10 on the same side. The two bolts 10 pass through the corresponding mounting holes 9 and are threaded to the cutter disc 6. By having the bolts 10 pass through the mounting holes 9, the tool holder 7 is fixed to the cutter disc 6, which enhances the connection rigidity between the tool holder 7 and the cutter disc 6, distributes the stress, and extends the service life. The threaded connection method facilitates the adjustment or replacement of the tool holder 7 and reduces maintenance costs.
[0030] Furthermore, a groove 11 is provided on one side of the tool holder 7 for installing a detection component. The groove 11 can be used to install a tool wear detection or position sensor to monitor the tool status in real time, prevent tool breakage, and improve automation level and safety.
[0031] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the tool on the tool holder 7 is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the tool disc 6 in space, and the tool on the tool holder 7 passes through the outlet 4 from back to front along the rotation axis of the tool disc 6 for tool replacement.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
