Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drug column shaping technology, and in particular to a drug column shaping tool changer magazine. Background Technology

[0002] Combustion chamber propellant is a solid propellant with a specific geometric shape and size. Currently, the outer surface processing of propellant is mainly done manually using machine tools, requiring multiple employees to operate on-site. The process mainly includes multiple steps such as feeding, product clamping, machine tool processing, product turning, and unloading. The technology is outdated, the labor intensity is high, and the production efficiency is low. At the same time, the processing tools for this product are somewhat dangerous, and the industry has prominent hygiene and safety hazards.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues and improve processing efficiency, machining tools are mounted on industrial robot arms for automated processing. For example, patent CN117047477A discloses an automated pharmaceutical column cutting device and method, comprising a frame with a fixed material station on the outer side. A material transfer and clamping mechanism is installed at the bottom of the fixed material station on the frame. A center clamping mechanism and a chuck clamping mechanism are sequentially arranged above the material transfer and clamping mechanism on the frame. The center clamping mechanism is driven and connected by a center lifting mechanism, which is connected to a center counterweight mechanism. The chuck clamping mechanism is driven and connected by a chuck lifting mechanism, which is connected to a chuck counterweight mechanism. A cutting mechanism is installed beside the fixed material station. Pharmaceutical column processing requires the use of various cutting tools, such as cutting tools and milling tools. Currently, these tools are mostly placed on a platform, which is not conducive to quick tool changes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tool changer for pharmaceutical pellet shaping tools, thereby facilitating tool replacement.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The cartridge shaping tool changer includes a tool storage box and a box cover on the tool storage box. The top of the tool storage box is provided with a set of tool placement racks for positioning a set of tools. The tool placement racks are flat plate structures with an opening on one side, the width of which is smaller than the width of the tool flange. The tool storage box is provided with a drive structure for driving the box cover to open.

[0007] Further or preferred:

[0008] The tool storage box has an openable door on its side.

[0009] The opening on the tool holder is a U-shaped opening.

[0010] The tool storage box is equipped with a detection sensor for detecting the presence or absence of tools at each tool storage location.

[0011] The back of the box cover is provided with a guide rod, and a sliding block is provided on the guide rod. The sliding block is connected to one side of the top of the tool storage box by a hinge.

[0012] The guide rods are arranged in a group side by side.

[0013] The drive structure includes a cylinder and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is a bending rod. A pin is provided on the inner wall of the tool storage box. The bent part of the bending rod is connected to the pin. The bottom of the cylinder is hinged to the bottom of the tool storage box. The top of the cylinder is hinged to one end of the bending rod. The other end of the bending rod is hinged to the box cover.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] The tool changer for shaping pharmaceutical pellets has a reasonable structure. A group of tools are arranged side by side vertically on an open tool rack, with each tool's quick-change disc facing upwards, which facilitates tool management and rapid replacement. The cover is located on one side of the tool storage box when the box is opened, and the tool storage box is in an open state, providing a large space for tool replacement operations.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through the description of the examples.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the cartridge shaping tool changer includes a tool storage box 1 and a box cover 2 on the tool storage box. The top of the tool storage box is provided with a set of tool placement racks 3 for positioning a set of tools. The tool placement racks 3 are flat plate structures with an opening on one side. The width of the opening is smaller than the width of the tool flange 4. The tool storage box is provided with a drive structure for driving the box cover to open.

[0024] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, six tool racks 3 are arranged side by side. The openings of the six tool racks are in the same direction and the openings on the tool racks are U-shaped. There is a certain space between the openings of the tool racks and one side of the tool storage box, which is conducive to tool replacement.

[0025] The tool storage box 1 has an openable door on its side; specifically, the tool storage box includes a frame, and a pair of openable doors are provided on one side of the frame.

[0026] The tool storage box is equipped with a detection sensor for each tool storage location to detect the presence or absence of a tool; the detection sensor can be a proximity switch or a photoelectric sensor.

[0027] The back of the lid 2 is equipped with a guide rod 9, and a sliding block 7 is mounted on the guide rod. The sliding block is connected to one side of the top of the tool storage box via a hinge 6. The guide rods are arranged in a row, and each guide rod is equipped with a sliding block, ensuring stable and reliable opening of the lid.

[0028] The drive structure includes a cylinder 8 and a connecting rod 5. The connecting rod 5 is a bending rod. A pin is provided on the inner wall of the tool storage box. The bent part of the bending rod is connected to the pin. The bottom of the cylinder is hinged to the bottom of the tool storage box. The top of the cylinder is hinged to one end of the bending rod. The other end of the bending rod is hinged to the box cover.
