[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical machining center technology, and in particular to a disc tool magazine for a vertical machining center. Background Technology
[0002] Disc tool magazines used in vertical machining centers, also known as disc-type tool magazines, are commonly used in small and medium-sized vertical machining centers. Disc-type tool magazines are mainly used in small vertical machining centers and are particularly suitable for machining environments that require efficient tool changing. Due to their fast tool changing speed and high efficiency, they are often used for machining tasks that require rapid tool switching.
[0003] When the operator needs to change tools, the operator controls the disc tool magazine to rotate the tool. When the tool rotates to the appropriate position, the exchange rack replaces the tool in the disc tool magazine with the tool on the machining machine. However, existing disc tool magazines may directly put tools carrying oil or iron filings into the disc tool magazine during the replacement process. This causes the debris to affect the transmission components inside the disc tool magazine, which in turn causes the disc tool magazine to jam during adjustment. Utility Model Content

A storage sleeve 35 is rotatably connected inside the support block 34. A sliding sleeve 37 is slidably connected inside the storage sleeve 35. A second motor 39 is fixedly connected inside the sliding sleeve 37. A fan blade 310 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second motor 39. The fan blade 310 is located inside the sliding sleeve 37. A nozzle 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding sleeve 37. A protective sleeve 38 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding sleeve 37. An adjustment component is provided on one side of the storage sleeve 35.
[0023] Specifically, the adjustment component includes a second rotating wheel 33, which is fixedly connected to one side of the storage sleeve 35. A first motor 32 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support block 34. A first rotating wheel 31 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the first motor 32. The surfaces of the first rotating wheel 31 and the second rotating wheel 33 are meshed together. The first motor 32 can cooperate with the first rotating wheel 31 and the second rotating wheel 33 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the second rotating wheel 33.
[0024] Specifically, an adjustment device 4 is provided on one side of the storage sleeve 35. The adjustment device 4 includes a connecting block 42. Two connecting blocks 42 are fixedly connected to one side of the storage sleeve 35. A threaded rod 41 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 42.
[0025] In this embodiment, the connecting block 42 can cooperate with the storage sleeve 35 to support the connecting block 42.
[0026] In this embodiment: a third motor 44 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 42 at the bottom of the storage sleeve 35. The driving end of the third motor 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 41. The third motor 44 can cooperate with the connecting block 42 to achieve the purpose of supporting the third motor 44.
[0027] Specifically, a guide groove 43 is provided on one side of the storage sleeve 35, and the guide groove 43 is located on one side of the sliding sleeve 37.
[0028] In this embodiment, the guide groove 43 can cooperate with the storage sleeve 35 to guide the sliding of the movable block 45.
[0029] Specifically, a movable block 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding sleeve 37. The movable block 45 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove 43, and the threaded rod 41 is threadedly connected to the inside of the movable block 45.
[0030] In this embodiment, the movable block 45 can cooperate with the sliding sleeve 37 and the threaded rod 41 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the sliding of the sliding sleeve 37.
[0031] Working Principle: By setting up the cleaning device 3, when the worker needs to clean the debris on the surface of the cutting tool, the exchange rack 2 pauses briefly when adjusting the cutting tool to the designated position, and starts the first motor 32. The first motor 32 drives the first rotating wheel 31, which in turn drives the second rotating wheel 33 to rotate. The second rotating wheel 33 drives the storage sleeve 35, which in turn drives the sliding sleeve 37. After the sliding sleeve 37 rotates 90 degrees, it aligns with the cutting tool on the exchange rack 2. The second motor 39 is then started, driving the fan blade 310. The fan blade 310 rotates and pushes air out of the nozzle 36, blowing off the debris on the surface of the cutting tool. The exchange rack 2 then places the cutting tool into the storage compartment 1. By setting up the cleaning device 3, effective cleaning can be achieved. The removal of debris from the tool surface prevents it from affecting the transmission components inside the disc tool magazine, thus reducing the likelihood of jamming during adjustment. Furthermore, by setting up the adjustment device 4, when the operator needs to adjust the cleaning range of the cleaning device 3, the operator starts the third motor 44. The third motor 44 drives the threaded rod 41, which rotates and adjusts the movable block 45. The movable block 45 drives the sliding sleeve 37, and the guide groove 43 guides the movable block 45. When the sliding sleeve 37 slides to the designated position, the third motor 44 is turned off. By setting up the adjustment device 4, the cleaning range of the cleaning device 3 can be effectively adjusted, preventing the cleaning device 3 from only cleaning short tools, thereby improving the practicality of the cleaning device 3.
