[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A tool magazine-driven machining center includes a base 100, a crossbeam 200, a spindle box module 300, a worktable 400, and a tool magazine module 500. The crossbeam 200 is mounted on the base 100 and has a transverse movement module 210 and a longitudinal movement module 220. The spindle box module 300 is connected to the longitudinal movement module 220. The base 100 is equipped with a drive module 600. The worktable 400 is movably mounted on the base 100 and connected to the drive module 600. The tool magazine module 500 is mounted on the worktable 400. The drive module 600 can drive the worktable 400 to move, and the tool magazine module 500 moves with the worktable 400, thereby moving either the worktable 400 or the tool magazine module 500 below the spindle box module 300.

[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, the crossbeam 200 is mounted on the base 100, and the spindle box module 300 is mounted on the crossbeam 200. The spindle box module 300 is driven to move laterally and longitudinally via the transverse traverse module 210 and the longitudinal traverse module 220, allowing it to move to a set position for product processing or tool changing. Simultaneously, the worktable 400 is mounted on the base 100, and the tool magazine module 500 is connected to the worktable 400. The drive module 600 drives the worktable 400 to move, and the worktable 400 moves along with the tool magazine module 500. This arrangement allows the worktable 400 or the tool magazine module 500 to be moved to the spindle box module. Below the spindle box module 300; when the tool magazine module 500 is moved below the spindle box module 300, the tool magazine module 500 will cooperate with the spindle box module 300 to realize tool changing operation and make tool changing convenient; when the worktable 400 is moved below the spindle box module 300, the spindle box module 300 can perform production processing on the workpiece on the worktable 400. Finally, by installing the tool magazine module 500 on the worktable 400, the tool magazine module 500 can move with the worktable 400, so that the tool magazine module 500 can move and cooperate with the spindle box module 300 to change tools without adding parts, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the machining center and making its structure simple and its design rational.

[0023] Furthermore, the spindle box module 300, the transverse module 210, and the longitudinal module 220 in this embodiment are all existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Of course, in order to realize the installation connection between the tool magazine module 500 and the worktable 400, this embodiment has a fixing platform 410 extending on one side of the worktable 400 for installing the tool magazine module 500, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 420 are provided at the bottom of the fixing platform 410.

[0025] By extending a fixing platform 410 to the rear of the worktable 400, the tool magazine module 500 can be fixed, allowing the tool magazine module 500 to move with the worktable 400. The fixing platform 410 ensures that the tool magazine module 500 will not affect the machining position of the worktable 400 after installation and fixing. This makes the assembly connection between the worktable 400 and the tool magazine module 500 reasonable. Furthermore, the multiple reinforcing ribs 420 at the bottom of the fixing platform 410 can improve the overall strength of the fixing platform 410, facilitating the fixed support of the tool magazine module 500.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, in order to realize the tool changing operation, the tool magazine module 500 includes a base plate 510, a rotating tool magazine 520, a protective cover 530, and a movable door 540. The base plate 510 is connected to the fixed platform 410, the rotating tool magazine 520 is installed on the base plate 510, the protective cover 530 covers the rotating tool magazine 520, and the protective cover 530 has a tool changing port 531 for tool changing. The movable door 540 can open or close the tool changing port 531.

[0027] Connecting the base plate 510 to the fixed platform 410 enables the connection between the tool magazine module 500 and the worktable 400, allowing the tool magazine module 500 to move with the worktable 400. The protective cover 530 covers the rotating tool magazine 520, effectively preventing debris generated during workpiece processing from splashing onto the rotating tool magazine 520, thus protecting the rotating tool magazine 520 and making the tool changing process more convenient and accurate. Of course, in order to realize tool changing, the protective cover 530 will have a tool changing port 531, which can be opened or closed through the movable door 540 to ensure a smooth tool changing process and protect the rotating tool magazine 520, making the overall structural design of the tool magazine module 500 reasonable.

[0028] In order to meet different processing needs, the rotary tool magazine 520 in this embodiment includes a drive motor 521, a rotary tool disc 522 and a cutting tool 523. The rotating shaft of the rotary tool disc 522 is connected to the drive motor 521. The drive motor 521 can drive the rotary tool disc 522 to rotate. The rotary tool disc 522 is provided with multiple fixed slots 524 along its circumference, and the cutting tool 523 is installed in the fixed slots 524.

[0029] By setting multiple fixed slots 524 around the periphery of the rotating cutter head 522, multiple different types of cutters 523 can be installed through the fixed slots 524 to meet the requirements of using different cutters 523 under different working conditions. In this embodiment, there are 12 sets of cutters 523. When it is necessary to change different cutters 523, the drive motor 521 can drive the rotating cutter head 522 to rotate, so that the required cutter 523 is rotated to the tool changing port 531. Then, by driving the worktable 400 to move, the tool changing port 531 is moved to the position corresponding to the spindle box module 300, so that the replacement of different cutters 523 can be realized.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the differentiation and identification of different cutting tools 523 on the rotating cutter head 522, numerical markings 525 are provided corresponding to the fixed positions 524 of multiple cutting tools 523. The numerical markings 525 can be achieved by engraving, by marking with a nameplate, or by writing with a marker, thereby facilitating the tool changing operation.

[0031] In addition, in order to open or close the blade exchange 531, the movable door 540 in this embodiment includes a drive cylinder 541 and a movable door plate 542. The drive cylinder 541 is located on the top of the protective cover 530, and a cylinder protective cover 543 is provided on the outside of the drive cylinder 541. The movable door plate 542 is connected to the drive cylinder 541. The drive cylinder 541 can drive the movable door plate 542 to move so that the movable door plate 542 opens or closes the blade exchange 531. The cylinder protective cover 543 protects the drive cylinder 541 to prevent debris from flying during workpiece processing, thereby improving the service life of the drive cylinder 541. When the tool 523 needs to be replaced, the drive cylinder 541 can drive the movable door plate 542 to move and open the tool changing port 531, which facilitates the tool changing operation. When processing the workpiece, the drive cylinder 541 can drive the movable door plate 542 to close the tool changing port 531, thereby protecting the rotating tool magazine 520.

[0032] Please see Figure 1In order to drive the worktable 400 to move and cause the tool magazine module 500 to move accordingly, the drive module 600 in this embodiment includes a drive motor 610, a lead screw 620 and a linear guide rail 630. The linear guide rail 630 is laid on the top of the base 100, and an inwardly recessed receiving groove 110 is provided on the top of the base 100. The drive motor 610 and the lead screw 620 are respectively installed in the receiving groove 110, and the drive motor 610 is connected to the lead screw 620. The worktable 400 is connected to the lead screw 620 and the linear guide rail 630 respectively. The drive motor 610 can drive the lead screw 620 to rotate, so that the worktable 400 moves along the linear guide rail 630.

[0033] By setting a receiving groove 110 on the base 100 and placing the drive motor 610 and the lead screw 620 in the receiving groove 110, the connection design between the worktable 400 and the base 100 can be made reasonable. When it is necessary to drive the worktable 400 or the tool magazine module 500 to move, the drive motor 610 can drive the lead screw 620 to rotate. When the lead screw 620 rotates, it will cause the worktable 400 to move along the linear guide rail 630, thereby driving the worktable 400. When the worktable 400 moves, the tool magazine module 500 will move accordingly, so that the worktable 400 or the tool magazine module 500 can cooperate with the spindle box module 300 to realize the processing of workpieces or the replacement of tools.

[0034] Finally, to reduce the overall weight of the machining center and ensure stability during machining, in this embodiment, several weight-reducing holes 230 are provided on the crossbeam 200, and shock-absorbing pads 120 and several interconnected shock-absorbing cavities 130 are provided at the bottom of the base 100. The weight-reducing holes 230 on the crossbeam 200 can effectively reduce the overall weight of the crossbeam 200, thereby reducing the overall weight of the machining center; and the interconnected shock-absorbing cavities 130 can be filled with shock-absorbing material, such as sand. Through the shock-absorbing pads 120 and the sand in the shock-absorbing cavities 130, vibration of the machining center during machining can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the machining accuracy of the workpiece.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description; however, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model; furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
