[0025] The working principle of the ATC tool changer for CNC machine tools provided by this utility model is as follows: After the tool is removed from the machine tool body 2 by the tool changer 5 and recycled into the storage component 3, the used tool is cleaned inside the storage component 3. At the same time, the cleaning tool is dried by the air supply component 6 and the wiping component 7 to ensure that the tool is clean and will not rust when used next.
[0026] Compared with related technologies, the ATC tool changer for CNC machine tools provided by this utility model, which is easy to maintain, has the following advantages: Outside air is drawn into the rectangular cover 61 through the filter screen 63 by the blower 64, and then delivered to the blades on the disc 53 by the air supply pipe 62.
