[0024] Working Principle: When using this invention, after installing all components except the positioning plate 9, locking rod 10, and spring 11, the lower bearing seat 23 of the tool holder is installed on the working surface. The first housing 2, the fourth housing 15 installed on the outer casing 1, and the second housing 4 installed on the lower bearing seat 23 of the tool holder are opened, and lubricating oil is injected into them. Then, the positioning plate 9, locking rod 10, and spring 11 are installed in the predetermined positions through the positioning hole 31 and the housing hole 32. First, the external hydraulic system is connected to the positioning plate 9, and the locking rod 10 is pushed by the hydraulic cylinder to resist the self-driving force of the spring 11 and press against the tool holder clamping table 7. Then, the drive shaft 6 installed in the tool holder body 5 is connected to the external motor drive end through a coupling. The external motor is started, and the hydraulic cylinder is closed, causing the locking rod 10 to reset due to the self-driving force of the spring 11. The external motor drives the drive shaft 6 to rotate, and the first transmission bearing 12 and the second transmission bearing 30 sleeved on the drive shaft 6 reduce the rotation of the drive shaft. The driving shaft 6 transmits driving force to the driven synchronous pulley 24, which is sleeved on the driven shaft 16, through the main synchronous pulley 13 and belt 14. The driven synchronous pulley 24 transmits driving force to the driven shaft 16. The third transmission bearing 19 and fourth transmission bearing 18, which are sleeved on the upper end of the driven shaft 16, reduce the rotational friction of the driven shaft 16. The worm gear 17, which is sleeved on the driven shaft 16, transmits the driving force on the driven shaft 16 to the rotating shaft 26 through the worm gear 21, which is sleeved on the upper end of the rotating shaft 26. 26. The fifth transmission bearing 20, the sixth transmission bearing 27, the seventh transmission bearing 28 and the eighth transmission bearing 29 sleeved on the rotating shaft 26 will reduce the rotational friction of the rotating shaft 26. The rotating shaft 26 transmits the driving force to the tool holder clamping table 7, which rotates to change the tool 8. After the tool 8 is changed, the external motor reverses, causing the drive shaft 6 to reverse. Through internal transmission, the tool holder clamping table 7 is reset. Then, the external hydraulic cylinder is activated to push the locking rod 10 to abut against the tool holder clamping table 7.
