Detailed Implementation
[0022] 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.
[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A servo semi-circular hat-shaped tool changer includes a mounting frame 1, a connecting plate 2 mounted on one side of the mounting frame 1, a tool magazine assembly mounted on one side of the connecting plate 2, a tool outlet 3 opened on one side of the tool magazine assembly, a mounting block 4 mounted on one side of the mounting frame 1, a connecting block 5 mounted on one side of the mounting block 4, a lifting drive device 6 mounted on one side of the connecting block 5, and a tool changer assembly 16 mounted on the drive end of the lifting drive device 6, the tool changer assembly 16 being positioned corresponding to the tool outlet 3;
[0024] The mounting bracket 1 is equipped with a tray 7, which is located below the tool magazine assembly.
[0025] In use, the tool can be moved out of the tool magazine assembly through the tool outlet 3. Then, the lifting drive 6 is used to align the tool and move the tool changing assembly 16 down to change the tool, meeting different processing needs. The tray 7 prevents the tool changing assembly 16 from falling off and damaging the device if the tool is not clamped properly. This solves the problem in the prior art where the tool falls directly into the machine tool working area and causes equipment or personnel injury if it becomes loose.
[0026] Furthermore, the tool magazine assembly includes a cover 8 disposed below the connecting plate 2 and a rotary drive assembly 9 disposed above the connecting plate 2. A tool clamping assembly is installed inside the cover 8, which is located on one side of the connecting plate 2. The drive end of the rotary drive assembly 9 movably passes through the connecting plate 2 and the cover 8 and is connected to the tool clamping assembly. Through the rotary drive assembly 9, the tool clamping assembly can be rotated, allowing the tool inside the cover 8 to move to the tool outlet 3, so that the tool can be changed through the lifting drive device 6. The rotary drive assembly 9 is a rotary motor.
[0027] Furthermore, the tool clamping assembly includes a tool disc 10 rotatably disposed within the housing 8 and a plurality of tool clips 11 mounted on one side of the tool disc 10.

Through the mounting holes 12, bolts can be threaded through the mounting holes 12 and screwed onto the tool disc 10 to mount the tool holder 11 onto the tool disc 10.
[0029] Furthermore, the tool changing assembly 16 is a clamping device used to clamp the tool inside the cover 8. The clamping device is driven to move down by the lifting drive device 6, and the clamping device clamps the tool shank.
[0030] The lifting drive device 6 is a cylinder, and the clamping device includes two springs and two locking blocks. The locking blocks are engaged with the outer periphery of the tool handle to clamp the tool handle. The clamping device is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] Furthermore, a protective door plate 15 is installed on the straight edge of the cutter head 10. The protective door plate 15 is adapted to the cutter outlet 3. By setting the protective door plate 15, the cover 8 can be sealed without changing the cutter, preventing dust from entering the cover 8.
[0032] Furthermore, a mounting groove 17 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 1, and a plurality of mounting holes 18 are provided in the mounting groove 17 for cables or air pressure pipes to pass through, keeping the layout neat. An electric slide rail can be connected to the mounting groove 17, and the mounting block 4 and the tool changing assembly 16 can be moved by the electric slide rail. The air pressure pipes of the cylinder can pass through the mounting holes 18, ensuring the layout is neat.
[0033] The electric slide rail is used to drive the movement of the tool changing assembly 16. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] Furthermore, two fixing posts 13 are installed on one side of the mounting frame 1. Each of the two fixing posts 13 has several openings 14 at its bottom. Through the fixing posts 13, bolts can pass through the openings 14 and be threaded into the frame to fix the mounting frame 1 in the corresponding position.
