[0021] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides an external tool storage compartment, including a tool cabinet 10, a detachable first tool placement assembly 20 and a second tool placement assembly 30 installed on the tool cabinet 10, a safety light curtain 40 installed on the tool cabinet 10, and tools 50. Multiple first tool placement assemblies 20 and multiple second tool placement assemblies 30 are spaced apart, and the multiple first tool placement assemblies 20 and multiple second tool placement assemblies 30 are staggered. The first tool placement assembly 20 includes a detachable first tool placement rack 21 installed on the tool cabinet 10, a first tool holder 22 installed on the first tool placement rack 21, and a second tool holder 50. The placement component 30 includes a detachable second tool holder 31 mounted on the tool cabinet 10 and a second tool support 32 mounted on the second tool holder 31. Multiple first tool supports 22 and second tool supports 32 are provided at intervals, with the first tool supports 22 and second tool supports 32 staggered. Tools 50 are placed on the first tool supports 22 and / or the second tool supports 32. By placing the tool cabinet 10 outside the CNC machine, the storage capacity of the tool cabinet 10 is increased. Due to the staggered arrangement of the first tool supports 22 and second tool supports 32, the occupancy rate is improved, thereby increasing the storage capacity. The safety light curtain 40 ensures the safety of the personnel.

[0022] The tool cabinet 10 is provided with a placement chamber 11, in which the first tool holder 21, the first tool holder 22, the second tool holder 31, the second tool holder 32, the tool 50, and the safety light curtain 40 are all located.

[0023] The tool cabinet 10 has double doors 12, which are positioned near the safety light curtain 40. The side of the tool cabinet 10 away from the double doors 12 is open. Operators can place the tool 50 onto the first tool holder 22 and the second tool holder 32 by opening the double doors 12, or remove the tool 50 from the first tool holder 22 and the second tool holder 32. Then, the robot can retrieve the tool 50 from the side away from the double doors 12 and install it onto the machine tool, or remove the tool 50 from the machine tool and place it onto the first tool holder 22 and the second tool holder 32.

[0024] The first tool placement assembly 20 also includes a first inductive sensor 23 mounted on the first tool placement rack 21. The first inductive sensor 23 is located directly below the first tool holder 22 and abuts against the tool 50. Multiple first inductive sensors 23 are arranged at intervals.
