Abstract
A tool machine magazine includes a base, a tool disc disposed on the base, tool sleeves disposed on a periphery of the tool disc through a bearing, a motor, a brake structure, a cam, a driver shaft, an angle sensor, and a control terminal. The motor drives the cam to operate. Each bearing orderly operates along the outline of the cam, driving the tool disc to continuously rotate without intermittence. The angle sensor is disposed on one end of the driver shaft or a rotation center of the tool disc. When the rotation angle of the tool disc matches the tool change command, the control terminal controls the brake structure to stop the motor, so as to stop the tool disc for facilitating the tool change operation.
Claims8
A tool machine magazine, comprising:
- a base;
- a tool disc disposed on the base;
- a plurality of tool sleeves disposed on a periphery of the tool disc, each of the plurality of tool sleeves for receiving a respective tool thereon;
- a plurality of bearings disposed on the tool disc in a circular arrangement, each bearing corresponding to one of the plurality of tool sleeves;
- and
- a driver device comprising a motor, a brake structure, a cam, a driver shaft, an angle sensor, and a control terminal, the brake structure disposed in the motor, the motor controlling the driver shaft to drive the cam to rotate about an axial direction of the driver shaft, each bearing respectively contacting an outline of the cam, each bearing orderly operating along the outline of the cam so as to drive the tool disc to continuously rotate without intermittence;
- the angle sensor disposed on one end of the driver shaft or a rotation center of the tool disc, the angle sensor sensing a rotation angle of the tool disc, and the control terminal receiving the rotation angle and a tool change command;
- the brake structure mounted around a rotation shaft of the motor;
- the brake structure comprising an electromagnetic set, a lining, a magnetic conductive plate, and a plurality of pressure springs;
- when the electromagnetic set is electrically conducted, the magnetic conductive plate is attracted by the electromagnetic set such that the magnetic conductive plate moves away from the lining, and the motor drives the cam to operate, and the magnetic conductive plate presses each pressure spring so that each pressure spring enters a compression status;
- when the electrical conduction of the electromagnetic set is cut, each pressure spring pushes the magnetic conductive plate to cause a friction between the magnetic conductive plate and the lining, and the rotation shaft of the motor is pressed by the lining to stop rotating,
- the brake structure comprising a bottom seat, a bushing, a plurality of studs, a plurality of pressure adjustment members, and a plurality of gap adjustment members;
- the bottom seat disposed along an axial direction of the motor;
- the magnetic conductive plate and the electromagnetic set being combined with the bottom seat through each stud;
- each pressure adjustment member and each gap adjustment member being screwedly disposed on a corresponding one of the plurality of studs and arranged between a corresponding one of the plurality of pressure springs and the electromagnetic set;
- the bushing being arranged between the lining and the rotation shaft of the motor, and the lining being slidably disposed on an outer edge of the bushing;
- wherein when the control terminal identifies that the rotation angle matches the tool change command, the control terminal controls the brake structure to stop an operation of the motor, thereby stopping the tool disc from rotating for facilitating a tool change operation.
