Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tool magazine control panel, and in particular to a tool magazine control sub-panel device for multi-spindle machining centers. Background Technology

[0002] In multi-spindle machining center applications, tool magazine operations (including tool inspection, tool removal, and maintenance) need to be performed through the side window of the machine frame. Conventional machine frames have function buttons for emergency stop and tool magazine control on the front panel, enabling functions such as pausing machine frame movement and controlling the tool magazine. However, in multi-spindle machine frame applications, controlling machine frame movement and tool magazine movement through the front panel often presents two problems: 1. The control position is far away. Operators must control the machine frame movement and tool magazine movement from the front panel and then complete the tool magazine-related operations through the side window, which seriously affects efficiency and makes it inconvenient to observe the tool magazine movement process in real time; 2. There is no safety protection when multiple people operate the machine. If conventional machine frames only have function buttons for emergency stop and tool magazine control on the front panel, it is possible that operator A is controlling the machine frame and tool magazine movement through the front panel while operator B is performing tool magazine-related operations through the side window. In this case, the machine frame movement could lead to a serious accident risk.

[0003] In view of this, there is a need in the market for a tool magazine control sub-panel device for multi-spindle machining centers. Utility Model Content

[0046] It should be noted that the protrusion 19 described in this embodiment is integrally formed with one of the positioning parts 91.

[0047] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the tapered guide portion 18 is provided to facilitate the compression of the elastic locking rod 14 to rise and fall, causing it to move, and also to facilitate guiding it into the L-shaped limiting groove 17. The tapered block 20 is provided and its dimensions are adapted to the L-shaped limiting groove 17, which helps to improve installation stability and improve the performance.
