[0036] Reference Figures 1-3 A CNC tool holder that is easy to access includes a base frame 10, a first tool plate 21, a second tool plate 22, a third tool plate 23, and a drive device 30. The first tool plate 21, the second tool plate 22, and the third tool plate 23 are provided with a plurality of tool holes 24 for placing tools.

[0037] The first blade 21 is mounted on the base frame 10;

[0038] The second blade 22 is mounted on the base frame 10 and slides along the positive half-axis of the X-axis;

[0039] The third blade 23 is mounted on the base frame 10 and slides along the negative half-axis of the X-axis.

[0040] The drive device 30 is mounted on the base frame 10 and connected to the first blade plate 21, and is used to drive the first blade plate 21 to slide along the Z-axis direction.

[0041] The drive device 30 can drive the first blade 21 to slide along the Z-axis to a position between the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 when the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 move in opposite directions, or the drive device 30 can drive the first blade 21 to slide along the Z-axis to a position below the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 when the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 move towards each other.

[0042] In this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the state of the cutting tool stored on the first cutting plate 21, referencing... Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the state of the tool being used on the first tool plate 21; for details, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The second blade 22 and the third blade 23 move towards each other until they reach the minimum distance, preferably 0, that is, the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 abut against each other. At this time, the first blade 21 moves along the negative half-axis of the Z-axis under the drive of the drive device 30 and is housed below the second blade 22 and the third blade 23, allowing the operator to pick up and put down the blades on the second blade 22 and the third blade 23; refer to Figure 2 When it is necessary to pick up or put down the tool on the first cutting plate 21, the second cutting plate 22 and the third cutting plate 23 are operated to move in opposite directions until the maximum distance S2 is reached, so that there is a space for picking up and putting down the tool between the second cutting plate 22 and the third cutting plate 23. At this time, the first cutting plate 21 moves along the positive half axis of the Z axis under the drive of the drive device 30 and is located in the space for picking up and putting down the tool between the second cutting plate 22 and the third cutting plate 23, so that the operator can pick up and put down the tool on the first cutting plate 21.

[0043] Reference Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the drive device 30 includes a first guide rail assembly 31, a second guide rail assembly 32, a first slide block 33, a second slide block 36, a lead screw 34, and a motor 35;

[0044] The first guide rail assembly 31 and the second guide rail assembly 32 are arranged on both sides of the base frame 10;

[0045] The first slide block 33 is slidably disposed on the first guide rail assembly 31, and the second slide block 36 is slidably disposed on the second guide rail assembly 32;

[0046] The lead screw 34 is mounted on the first slide block 33;

[0047] The output end of the motor 35 is connected to one end of the lead screw 34, one end of the first cutter plate 21 is connected to the first slide 33, and the other end is connected to the second slide 36.

[0048] The base frame 10 is equipped with a control board 61 and a switch 62 on the control board 61. The control board 61 is connected to the drive device 30. When it is necessary to pick up or put down the tool on the first cutting plate 21, the drive device is activated by the switch 62 on the control board 61. Specifically, the switch 62 controls the motor 35 to start, which in turn drives the lead screw 34 to rotate. Since the lead screw 34 passes through the first slide block 33 and the first slide block 33 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail assembly 31, the rotational motion of the lead screw 34 will be converted into the linear motion of the first slide block 33 in the Z-axis direction. The cooperation with the second slide block 36 can drive the first cutting plate 21 to move up and down along the Z-axis direction.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the width of the first blade 21 is S1, and the maximum distance between the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 is S2, where S2 > S1. This setting ensures that the first blade 21 will not interfere with the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 when it is activated, thus avoiding damage to the blade due to collision.

[0050] Reference Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the second blade 22 is connected to the base frame 10 via a first sliding assembly 40, which is arranged along the X-axis. Preferably, the first sliding assembly 40 includes a first slide rail 41, a second slide rail 42, a third slide block 43, and a fourth slide block 44. The first slide rail 41 and the second slide rail 42 are located on opposite sides of the base frame 10. The third slide block 43 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 41 and connected to one end of the second blade 22. The fourth slide block 44 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 42 and connected to the other end of the second blade 22. (Refer to...) Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the third blade 23 is connected to the base frame 10 via a second sliding assembly 50, which is arranged along the X-axis. Preferably, the second sliding assembly 50 includes a third slide rail 51, a fourth slide rail 52, a fifth slide block 53, and a sixth slide block 54. The third slide rail 51 and the fourth slide rail 52 are located on opposite sides of the base frame 10. The fifth slide block 53 is slidably mounted on the third slide rail 51 and connected to one end of the third blade 23. The sixth slide block 54 is slidably mounted on the fourth slide rail 52 and connected to the other end of the third blade 23. The operator only needs to grasp the blades on the second blade plate 22 and the third blade plate 23 to move them left and right along the X-axis. This has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation. It should be noted that locking devices can be set between the second blade plate 22 and the base frame 10 and between the third blade plate 23 and the base frame 10. These devices can lock the second blade plate 22 and the third blade plate 23 at the maximum or minimum distance. The locking device can be a structure with a locking rod and a locking hole, or other structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] In some embodiments, a detection device is provided between the second blade 22 and the base frame 10 and between the third blade 23 and the base frame 10, for detecting the relative positions of the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 with respect to the base frame 10; preferably, the detection device is an infrared sensor, wherein the detection device is connected to the control board 61, and can automatically send a start command to the drive device 30 when the second blade 22 and the third blade 23 are detected to reach the maximum distance, so that the first blade 21 can be lifted without additional operation, further improving the convenience of use.

[0052] The advantages of this utility model are: the above structure allows operators to quickly pick up and put down the knives on the first knife plate without bending over or avoiding other knives, which not only makes full use of the space of the base frame and increases the number of knives that can be placed, but also improves the convenience of knives.

[0053] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
