[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a tool holder structure for a tool magazine, including a tool magazine disk, a tool holder body slidably connected to the inner wall of the tool magazine disk, a tool body provided on the inner wall of the tool holder body, a warning light fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tool magazine disk, an energized sensor fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tool magazine disk, a pressure plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the tool magazine disk, one end of a pressure column fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pressure plate, an electrode plate fixedly installed on the other end of the pressure column, a limit groove formed on the inner wall of the tool magazine disk, and the tool holder body... A pressure block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the body; a fixing post is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the energized sensor; a spring is provided on the inner wall of the tool magazine disc; an insert block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tool sleeve body; a fixing block is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tool magazine disc; a sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block; a threaded post is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding block; a compression slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block; an insert post is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the compression slider; a spring is provided on the outer wall of the insert post; and a slot is provided on the outer wall of the insert block.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the outer wall of the sliding block near the extrusion slider and the outer wall of the extrusion slider near the sliding block are both inclined surfaces, and the inclined surfaces of the outer walls of the sliding block and the extrusion slider are parallel.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the threaded column penetrates the outer wall of the tool magazine disk, and the threaded column and the tool magazine disk are threadedly connected, and the sliding block is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed block.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the slot and the plug are positioned correspondingly, and the slot and the plug are the same size.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the number of electrode plates is two, and the two electrode plates are located outside the fixed column and the pressure column respectively.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. When the tool holder structure used in the tool magazine breaks, the fixing relationship of the tool holder body fails. At this time, the fixing column pushes the pressure plate outward, which in turn causes the pressure plate to move the pressure column. The pressure column then moves the external electrode plate, causing the two electrode plates to separate. This causes the energized sensor to stop receiving power, which in turn causes the warning light to go out. This indicates that the tool holder body has broken or malfunctioned.

[0013] 2. This tool holder structure for a tool magazine, by rotating the threaded column, causes the threaded column to move within the tool magazine disc via its threaded connection to the disc. This movement, in turn, causes the sliding block to move towards the pressing slider, bringing it into contact with the outer wall of the pressing slider. Further movement of the sliding block pushes the pressing slider, causing it to move the insert pin. This causes the spring to contract, and the insert pin enters the slot, fixing its position. The slot's fixation secures the insert pin, thus fixing the tool holder body. This eliminates the need for specialized tools during tool holder installation. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5. A tool holder structure for a tool magazine includes a tool magazine disc 1, a tool holder body 2 slidably connected to the inner wall of the tool magazine disc 1, a tool body 3 provided on the inner wall of the tool holder body 2, a warning light 21 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tool magazine disc 1, an energized sensor 4 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tool magazine disc 1, a pressure plate 5 slidably connected to the inner wall of the tool magazine disc 1, one end of a pressure post 9 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pressure plate 5, an electrode plate 12 fixedly installed on the other end of the pressure post 9, a limit groove 7 formed in the inner wall of the tool magazine disc 1, and a pressure post 7 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tool holder body 2. Block 8, a fixing post 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the energized sensor 4, a spring 10 is provided on the inner wall of the tool magazine 1, an insert block 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tool sleeve body 2, a fixing block 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tool magazine 1, a sliding block 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 14, a threaded post 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding block 16, a compression slider 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 14, an insert post 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the compression slider 17, a spring 18 is provided on the outer wall of the insert post 19, and a slot 20 is opened on the outer wall of the insert block 13.

[0022] In the above structure, the shape of the fixing block 14 is the same as the inner wall shape of the insert block 13, so that when the tool holder body 2 is inserted into the inside of the tool magazine 1, the tool holder body 2 is pushed into the innermost side of the tool magazine 1, so that the fixing block 14 is inserted into the inside of the insert block 13.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the sliding block 16 near the extrusion slider 17 and the outer wall of the extrusion slider 17 near the sliding block 16 are both inclined surfaces, and the inclined surfaces of the outer walls of the sliding block 16 and the extrusion slider 17 are parallel.

[0024] In the above structure, the sliding block 16 moves towards the extrusion slider 17, thereby making the sliding block 16 fit against the outer wall of the extrusion slider 17. Then, the sliding block 16 continues to move, causing the sliding block 16 to push the extrusion slider 17, which in turn causes the extrusion slider 17 to move the insertion post 19, causing the spring 18 to contract.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment: the threaded post 15 penetrates the outer wall of the tool magazine disk 1, and the threaded post 15 and the tool magazine disk 1 are threadedly connected, and the sliding block 16 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed block 14.

[0026] In the above structure, by rotating the threaded column 15, the threaded column 15 moves on the inner wall of the tool magazine 1 through the threaded connection with the tool magazine 1, thereby causing the threaded column 15 to drive the sliding block 16 to move. At this time, the sliding block 16 does not rotate when it moves because of the contact between the inner wall of the sliding block 16 and the fixed block 14.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the slot 20 corresponds to the position of the pin 19, and the slot 20 and the pin 19 are the same size.

[0028] In the above structure, the insert 19 enters the interior of the slot 20, thereby fixing the position of the slot 20 by the insert 19. At this time, the fixing of the slot 20 fixes the insert block 13, thereby fixing the blade sheath body 2.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, there are two electrode plates 12, and the two electrode plates 12 are located outside the fixing post 11 and the pressure post 9, respectively. The positions of the two electrode plates 12 are corresponding, and the energized sensor 4 is electrically connected to the warning light 21.

[0030] In the above structure, the pressure plate 5 drives the pressure column 9 and the electrode sheet 12 outside the pressure column 9 to move towards the fixed column 11, thereby causing the electrode sheet 12 outside the pressure column 9 and the electrode sheet 12 outside the fixed column 11 to fit together. At this time, the energized sensor 4 is energized, thereby causing the energized sensor 4 to send an electrical signal to the warning light 21, causing the warning light 21 to light up.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment: the shape of the pressure plate 5 is the same as that of the pressure block 8, and the limiting plate 6 is located inside the limiting groove 7, with the limiting plate 6 fitting into the limiting groove 7.

[0032] In the above structure, by aligning the pressure block 8 with the pressure plate 5, the tool holder body 2 is pushed into the interior of the tool magazine 1, so that the pressure block 8 and the pressure plate 5 are in contact. At this time, by continuing to move the tool holder body 2, the pressure block 8 continues to move, which in turn causes the pressure block 8 to push the pressure plate 5 to move, which in turn causes the pressure plate 5 to drive the limiting plate 6 to move inside the limiting groove 7. The limiting groove 7 limits the limiting plate 6, which in turn limits the pressure plate 5, so that the pressure plate 5 will not tilt when it moves.

[0033] Working principle: During equipment use, installation is required. Align the pressure block 8 with the pressure plate 5, and push the tool holder body 2 into the tool magazine 1, ensuring the pressure block 8 and pressure plate 5 are in contact. As the tool holder body 2 continues to move, the pressure block 8 continues to move, pushing the pressure plate 5. This causes the pressure plate 5 to move the limiting plate 6 within the limiting groove 7, causing the pressure plate 5 to move the pressure column 9 and the electrode plate 12 outside the pressure column 9 towards the fixed column 11. This causes the electrode plate 12 outside the pressure column 9 to contact the electrode plate 12 outside the fixed column 11. At this point, the energized sensor 4 is powered on, sending an electrical signal to the warning light 21, causing it to illuminate. The illumination of the warning light 21 indicates successful installation of the tool holder body 2. Then, rotating the threaded column 15 allows the threaded column 15 to pass through the tool magazine 1... The threaded connection moves on the inner wall of the tool magazine 1, causing the threaded post 15 to move the sliding block 16. The sliding block 16 moves towards the extrusion slider 17, causing the sliding block 16 to come into contact with the outer wall of the extrusion slider 17. The sliding block 16 continues to move, pushing the extrusion slider 17, which in turn causes the extrusion slider 17 to move the insert post 19, causing the spring 18 to contract. The insert post 19 enters the slot 20, fixing the position of the slot 20. The slot 20 then fixes the insert block 13, thus fixing the tool holder body 2. When the tool holder body 2 breaks, the tool holder body 2 is pushed outward by the fixing post 11, causing the two electrode plates 12 to separate. This de-energizes the energized sensor 4, causing the warning light 21 to go out, indicating that the tool holder body 2 has broken or malfunctioned.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
