[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) By setting up a tool changing box, the tool changing rack is installed inside the tool changing box, and a tool washing frame is set inside the tool changing box. The tool is transferred to the tool changing box by an external robotic arm and installed on the tool changing rack. After the tool is changed, the tool is located above the tool washing frame. Then, the tool washing frame is lifted by a motor, so that the blade tip at the bottom of the tool extends into the inside of the tool washing frame. Then, the stirring rod inside the tool washing frame is rotated by a motor. At this time, the inside of the tool washing frame is filled with cleaning liquid. The stirring rod drives the cleaning liquid to rotate, thereby cleaning the blade tip. Setting the tool washing frame at the tool changing position can clean the replaced blade tip as soon as possible, which can improve efficiency.

[0015] (2) By setting a water tank inside the tool changing box and setting a drain pipe and a water inlet pipe on both sides of the tool washing frame, the tool washing frame cleans the tools and then opens the valve to allow the cleaning liquid containing dirt and debris to be discharged through the drain pipe. Then, the clean cleaning liquid inside the water tank is pumped through the water inlet pipe to the inside of the tool washing frame, thereby continuously adding water to the inside of the tool washing frame.
