Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool magazine technology, specifically to a tool magazine with a dustproof structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of machining, the tool magazine is an important component of CNC machine tools. Its function is to store and manage various tools so that they can be quickly changed during machining, thereby improving machining efficiency and accuracy. However, existing tool magazine designs often neglect the importance of dustproof structures.

[0003] During operation, traditional tool magazines are prone to dust and impurities entering due to frequent tool changes and the complexity of the machine tool's internal environment. This not only affects tool storage and retrieval but also negatively impacts the overall performance and machining quality of the machine tool. Specifically, the accumulation of dust and impurities can lead to inaccurate tool positioning, increase the difficulty of tool changes, and even cause machine tool malfunctions, reducing production efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies employ various dust-proof measures, such as adding dust covers and using sealing materials. However, these measures still have shortcomings in practical applications. For example, dust covers may be damaged due to frequent opening and closing, and sealing materials may lose their sealing effect due to aging or wear. Therefore, a more effective and reliable dust-proof structure is needed to ensure the normal operation of the tool magazine.

[0005] In summary, this utility model proposes a tool magazine with a dustproof structure, aiming to solve the problem of poor dustproof effect of tool magazines in the prior art and improve the reliability and service life of tool magazines. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tool magazine with a dustproof structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A tool magazine with a dustproof structure includes a drive cylinder. A cylinder seat is hinged to the right side of the drive cylinder. The left side of the back of the cylinder seat is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the magazine housing. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the left side of the drive cylinder, and a push rod is inserted inside the connecting frame. A pulley limit block is fixed to the top of the push rod. An inner pulley is installed on the top surface of the pulley limit block, and an outer pulley is fixedly connected to the top of the inner pulley. A top cover connecting plate is hinged to the right side of the magazine housing. The right side of the top cover connecting plate is fixedly installed on the right side of the magazine housing via a hinge shaft. A sealing rubber gasket is fixedly connected to the back of the top cover connecting plate. Both ends of the magazine housing contact the inner wall of a locking hook plate. The locking hook plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the magazine housing by bolts. A placement mechanism is installed inside the magazine housing.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that the inner wall of the connecting frame is in contact with the surface of the pulley limiting block, and the connection between the connecting frame and the pulley limiting block is a rotatable connection.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a strip groove is provided on the surface of the locking hook plate at the corresponding position of the outer pulley, and the inner wall of the strip groove is in contact with the surface of the locking hook plate. The connection between the locking hook plate and the outer pulley is a snap-fit ​​connection. When the driving cylinder retracts, the push rod is pulled out of the locking hook plate, and when the push rod retracts to the top of the waist-shaped groove on the upper cover connecting plate.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a strip groove is provided on the surface of the upper cover connecting plate at a position corresponding to the pulley limiting block, and the inner wall of the strip groove is in contact with the surface of the pulley limiting block. The connection between the pulley limiting block and the upper cover connecting plate is a sliding connection. The pulley limiting block slides on the strip groove on the surface of the upper cover connecting plate, causing the upper cover connecting plate to rotate to the right and lift up.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the placement mechanism includes a fixed frame, two connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed frame, a hinge shaft is movably connected to one end of the connecting block, two moving blocks are provided on one side of the connecting block, a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. At the same time, the connecting frame rotates on the surface of the push rod, pulling the push rod to the right, driving the oil cylinder to continue to retract, and the upper cover connecting plate will be pulled open.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a dust cover is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable block, an air duct is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame, a fan is fixedly connected to the surface of the air duct, a corrugated pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the air duct, one end of the corrugated pipe is connected through to the surface of the dust cover, a retaining sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed frame, and a knife is held in place on the surface of the retaining sleeve. When the knife is dusty, the motor is started, and the motor drives the movable block to rotate and move.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model provides a tool magazine with a dustproof structure, equipped with a locking hook plate. When the driving cylinder retracts, it pulls out the locking hook plate with a push rod, thereby rotating the upper cover connecting plate to the right to open it. This achieves the opening of the upper cover connecting plate. Only one set of actuators is needed to simultaneously open and close the cover plate, making it simple and convenient to use. By setting a sealing chamber on the surface of the hinge plate, when the upper cover connecting plate and the hinge plate are closed, the sealing rubber gasket is inserted into the inner wall of the sealing chamber to achieve the sealing of the entire device. This ensures that the device remains sealed even when the power is off, achieving effective dust prevention.

[0016] 2. This utility model provides a tool magazine with a dustproof structure. A ferrule is used to hold the tools. When the tools are dusty, the motor is started, and the motor drives the moving block to rotate. The moving block drives the dust cover to rotate, protecting the tools in the ferrule. When the tools are dusty, the fan is started, and the fan transmits air to the air duct and then to the tools through the corrugated pipe, thereby removing the dust from the tools. When the moving block drives the dust cover to rotate, the corrugated pipe can extend with the movement of the dust cover. The motor-driven rotating dust cover and the fan dust removal system (air pressure 0.2MPa) form a dual protection of physical isolation and air blowing cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a tool magazine with a dustproof structure, including a drive cylinder 1. A cylinder seat 12 is hinged to the right side of the drive cylinder 1. The left side of the back of the cylinder seat 12 is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the magazine housing 9. A connecting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the drive cylinder 1, and a push rod 3 is inserted inside the connecting frame 2. A pulley limit block 4 is fixed to the top of the push rod 3. An inner pulley 5 is installed on the top surface of the pulley limit block 4, and an outer pulley 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner pulley 5. A top cover connecting plate 8 is hinged to the right side of the magazine housing 9. The right side of the top cover connecting plate 8 is fixedly installed on the right side of the magazine housing 9 via a hinge shaft 11. A sealing rubber gasket 13 is fixedly connected to the back of the top cover connecting plate 8. Locking hook plates 7 are connected to both ends of the magazine housing 9. The inner walls are in contact with each other, and the locking hook plate 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the storage box 9 by bolts. The storage box 9 is equipped with a placement mechanism 14. The inner wall of the connecting frame 2 is in contact with the surface of the pulley limit block 4. The connection relationship between the connecting frame 2 and the pulley limit block 4 is a rotatable connection. The surface of the locking hook plate 7 is provided with a strip groove at the corresponding position of the outer pulley 6, and the inner wall of the strip groove is in contact with the surface of the locking hook plate 7. The connection relationship between the locking hook plate 7 and the outer pulley 6 is a snap-fit ​​connection. The surface of the upper cover connecting plate 8 is provided with a strip groove at the corresponding position of the pulley limit block 4, and the inner wall of the strip groove is in contact with the surface of the pulley limit block 4. The connection relationship between the pulley limit block 4 and the upper cover connecting plate 8 is a sliding connection.

[0026] Specifically, the sealing cover opens as follows: when the drive cylinder 1 retracts, it pulls the push rod 3 out of the locking hook plate 7. When the push rod 3 retracts to the top of the waist-shaped groove on the upper cover connecting plate 8, the pulley limit block 4 slides on the strip groove on the surface of the upper cover connecting plate 8, rotating the upper cover connecting plate 8 to the right and lifting it up. At the same time, the connecting frame 2 rotates on the surface of the push rod 3, pulling the push rod 3 to the right. The drive cylinder 1 continues to retract, and the upper cover connecting plate 8 will be pulled open.

[0027] Sealing cover closing: The opposite of the opening action, when the drive cylinder 1 extends, the upper cover connecting plate 8 closes the cover by its own weight. At the same time, since the descent speed of the upper cover connecting plate 8 is greater than the extension speed of the drive cylinder 1, the push rod 3 is always at the top of the back of the waist-shaped groove on the locking hook plate 7 during the descent of the upper cover connecting plate 8. After the upper cover connecting plate 8 falls, the drive cylinder 1 continues to extend, and through the connecting frame 2, push rod 3 is pushed into the locking hook plate 7. The sealing rubber gasket 13 is inserted into the storage box 9 to seal the upper cover connecting plate 8.

[0028] A strip groove is provided on the surface of the upper cover connecting plate 8 at the position corresponding to the pulley limiting block 4, and the inner wall of the strip groove is in contact with the surface of the pulley limiting block 4. The connection between the pulley limiting block 4 and the upper cover connecting plate 8 is a sliding connection. The pulley limiting block 4 slides on the strip groove on the surface of the upper cover connecting plate 8, thereby assisting the outer pulley 6 to disengage from the locking hook plate 7.

[0029] The locking hook plate 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the storage box 9 by bolts. The inner wall of the storage box 9 is in contact with the surface of the sealing rubber gasket 13. The sealing rubber gasket 13 and the storage box 9 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection. The sealing rubber gasket 13 is inserted into the inside of the storage box 9, thereby sealing the upper cover connecting plate 8 and the storage box 9, and avoiding the problem of sealing leakage due to power failure during daily use.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the placement mechanism 14 includes a fixed frame 140, two connecting blocks 149 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed frame 140, a hinge shaft 1491 is movably connected to one end of the connecting block 149, two moving blocks 147 are provided on one side of the connecting block 149, a motor 148 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 147, the output end of the motor 148 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 149, a dust cover 146 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving block 147, a duct 142 is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 140, a fan 141 is fixedly connected to the surface of the duct 142, a corrugated pipe 143 is fixedly connected to the surface of the duct 142, one end of the corrugated pipe 143 is connected through to the surface of the dust cover 146, a retaining sleeve 144 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed frame 140, and a knife 15 is engaged on the surface of the retaining sleeve 144;

[0032] Specifically, the ferrule 144 is used to hold the cutting tool 15. When the cutting tool 15 is dusty, the motor 148 is started. The motor 148 drives the moving block 147 to rotate and move. The moving block 147 drives the dust cover 146 to rotate and protect the cutting tool 15 on the ferrule 144. When the cutting tool 15 is dusty, the fan 141 is started. The fan 141 transmits air power to the air duct 142 and transmits air to the cutting tool 15 through the corrugated pipe 143, thereby removing dust from the cutting tool 15. When the moving block 147 drives the dust cover 146 to rotate, the corrugated pipe 143 can extend along with the movement of the dust cover 146.

[0033] The working principle of this dustproof tool magazine will be explained in detail below.

[0034] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the sealing cover opens as follows: When the drive cylinder 1 retracts, it pulls the push rod 3 out of the locking hook plate 7. When the push rod 3 retracts to the top of the waist-shaped groove on the upper cover connecting plate 8, the pulley limit block 4 slides on the strip groove on the surface of the upper cover connecting plate 8, causing the upper cover connecting plate 8 to rotate to the right and lift up. Simultaneously, the connecting bracket 2 rotates on the surface of the push rod 3, pulling the push rod 3 to the right. The drive cylinder 1 continues to retract, pulling the upper cover connecting plate 8 open. The sealing cover closes as follows: The opening action is the opposite of the opening action. When the hydraulic cylinder 1 extends, the upper cover connecting plate 8 closes down by its own weight. At the same time, since the descent speed of the upper cover connecting plate 8 is greater than the extension speed of the hydraulic cylinder 1, the push rod 3 is always at the top of the back of the waist-shaped groove on the locking hook plate 7 during the descent of the upper cover connecting plate 8. After the upper cover connecting plate 8 falls, the hydraulic cylinder 1 continues to extend and pushes the push rod 3 into the locking hook plate 7 through the connecting frame 2. The sealing rubber gasket 13 is inserted into the storage box 9 to seal the upper cover connecting plate 8.

[0035] The ferrule 144 is used to hold the cutting tool 15. When the cutting tool 15 is dusty, the motor 148 is started. The motor 148 drives the moving block 147 to rotate and move. The moving block 147 drives the dust cover 146 to rotate and protect the cutting tool 15 on the ferrule 144. When the cutting tool 15 is dusty, the fan 141 is started. The fan 141 transmits air power to the air duct 142 and transmits air to the cutting tool 15 through the corrugated pipe 143, thereby removing dust from the cutting tool 15. When the moving block 147 drives the dust cover 146 to rotate, the corrugated pipe 143 can extend with the movement of the dust cover 146.

[0036] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
