The example of FIG. 9 only differs from the example of FIG. 8 in that the tool magazine rotates to match the position of the spindles 111 and 112 to the position of the second tool port and the additional tool port for tool clamping. Therefore, the example of FIG. 9 can be easily derived from the example of FIG. 8, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, in the examples of Figs. 8 and 9, the tool exchange is described for two spindles, but in another example of the present invention, tool exchange for three or more spindles may be performed at the same time. Of course, the tool change mechanism may be the same as or similar to the example of Figs.

10 is a block diagram of a machine tool 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. 1, the machine tool 200 includes a plurality of spindles 210, a plurality of first position controllers 220, a tool magazine 230, a second position adjuster 240, a tool carrier 250, A third position adjustment unit 260, and a control block 270. [ 10 are not essential, the machine tool 200 according to the present invention may have more or less components than those of the present invention. Hereinafter, the components will be described in order.

In the machine tools 100 and 200 of FIGS. 1 and 10, the spindles 110 and 210, the first position adjusters 120 and 220, the tool magazines 130 and 230, The configuration and function (or operation) of the communication devices 140 and 240 may be the same or similar to each other. The control blocks 160 and 270 also control overall the role of the machine tools 100 and 200. Therefore, detailed description of the components corresponding to each other will be omitted, and differences between the machine tools 100 and 200 of FIGS. 1 and 10 will be described.

The machine tool 200 of FIG. 10 further includes a tool carrier 250 and includes a third position controller 260 for controlling the position and attitude of the tool carrier 250. The tool carrier 250 is mounted on the spindle 211 to allow a tool used for the operation to be unclamped (i.e., empty without a tool) and a tool port to be clamped by the spindle 211 May comprise a tool port set including a second tool port to be selected and mounted from the tool magazine (230).

Meanwhile, the tool carrier 250 may include a plurality of tool pot sets including a plurality of first tool pots and a plurality of second tool pots mating with the plurality of first tool pots. In this case, a plurality of tool pot sets may be used for tool unclamping and clamping to perform a tool change operation on a plurality of spindles.

As described above, the control block 270 controls the operation of the machine tool 200 as a whole. In particular, the control block 270 controls the first position adjustment unit 220, the second position adjustment unit 240, and the third position adjustment unit 260 to adjust the position of the spindle 210, The position of the port in the tool magazine 230 and the position and posture of the tool carrier 250 can be changed to perform the tool exchange preparation step and the tool exchange step. Where the position change may include horizontal and / or vertical movement, and the posture change may include rotation, tilt, and the like. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Hereinafter, the tool exchange preparation step and the tool exchange step performed under the control of the control block 270 will be described in more detail.

The tool exchange preparation step may include a second tool clamping step and a tool carrier transfer step. The second tool clamping step includes clamping a second tool to be used in a second operation to be performed subsequent to the first operation to the second tool port of the tool carrier 250 at the tool magazine 230 . And, moving the tool carrier 250 may include moving the tool carrier 250 to a tool change standby position.

Meanwhile, since the tool replacement preparation step is performed in advance during the first operation using the first tool mounted on the spindle 211, the tool change time can be reduced.

When the first operation is completed, the tool exchange step is performed. Wherein the tool changing step includes unclamping the first tool from the spindle 211 to a first tool port of the tool carrier 250 and moving the second tool from the second tool port to the spindle 211, And unclamping the first tool unclamped to the first tool port to an empty tool port of the plurality of tool ports of the tool magazine.

As described above, in the machine tool 200 according to the present invention, since the tool unclamping and tool clamping necessary for the tool change are performed collectively by the tool port set included in the tool carrier 250, Can be dramatically reduced.

11 is a flowchart showing still another example of a method of driving the machine tool 200 according to the present invention. Hereinafter, the driving method will be described with reference to necessary drawings.

First, during the first operation using the first tool mounted on the spindle 211, a tool change command is received by the control block 270 (S300). The tool change command is an instruction to replace the first tool currently mounted on the spindle 211 with a second tool to be used for the next second job.

If a tool change command is received during the first operation, the control block 270 causes the second tool port of the tool carrier 250 to move the second tool to the tool magazine 230 , And then moves the tool carrier 250 to the tool change standby position (S310).

The step of clamping the second tool to the tool carrier 250 may include the steps of controlling the second position adjuster 240 to move the second tool to a position where the tool carrier 250 performs clamping, Clamping the second tool to the first tool port by controlling the position and orientation of the tool carrier (250) by controlling the third position adjuster (260), and controlling the third tool (260) 250) to the tool change standby position.

After the tool carrier 250 is moved to the tool change standby position, the first operation is completed. The control block 270 then unclamps the first tool mounted on the spindle 211 to the first tool port of the tool carrier 250 and the second tool port of the tool carrier 250 The mounted second tool is clamped to the spindle 211 (S320). At this time, the control block 270 may move the spindle 111 to a work position and perform a second operation using the second tool.

The control block 270 then moves the tool carrier 250 to the tool magazine 230 and then moves the first tool unclamped from the spindle 211 to the first tool port And unclamped to an empty tool port of the tool magazine 230 (S330).

Then, the control block 270 receives a tool change command to the third tool to be used in the third operation during the second operation (S300), and controls the spindle 211 in accordance with steps S310 to S330 The mounted tool can be exchanged from the second tool to the third tool.

12 is a flowchart showing another example of the method of driving the machine tool 200 according to the present invention. FIG. 13 is a diagram conceptually illustrating a process in which the method of driving the machine tool 200 shown in FIG. 12 is performed. Meanwhile, the method of driving the machine tool 200 of FIG. 12 may be an example of the method of driving the machine tool 200 of FIG. Hereinafter, the driving method will be described with reference to necessary drawings.

A tool exchange command is received during the first operation using the first tool (S400). The control block 270 then clamps the second tool to be used for the second operation to the second tool port of the tool carrier 250 in the tool magazine 230 and then moves the tool carrier 250 to the tool change standby position (S410). Such tool clamping and movement is done during the first operation.

Clamping of the second tool may be performed based on movement of the tool magazine 230 itself, movement of tool ports in the tool magazine 230, and movement or posture change of the tool carrier 250. That is, at least one of the position and posture of the tool carrier 250 can be adjusted during the unclamping of the first tool.

13 (a) shows a state in which a second tool (triangle) to be used for the second operation from the tool magazine 230 is clamped to the second tool port of the tool carrier 250. Fig. 13 (b) shows a state in which the tool carrier 250 is moved to the tool exchange standby position in the state of FIG. 13 (a).

At this time, the tool carrier 250 is rotated counterclockwise so that the first tool port to be unclamped by the first tool (red circle) mounted on the spindle 211 corresponds to the moving position of the spindle 211 have. In some cases, the rotation of the tool carrier 250 may not be performed and may be performed after being moved to the tool exchange standby position

The control block 270 horizontally moves the spindle 211 to a position corresponding to the first tool port and then vertically raises the first tool to the first tool port Unlocked (S420, see Fig. 13 (b)).

The control block 270 then clamps the second tool mounted on the second tool port of the tool carrier 250 to the spindle 211 through the horizontal and vertical descent of the spindle 211 S430). FIG. 13C shows the process of step S430.

13 (c), the control block 270 rotates the second tool mounted on the second tool port of the tool carrier 250 while the spindle 211 is horizontally moved and then descended, .

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal position of the spindle 211 is transmitted to the tool carrier 250 (e.g., the tool carrier 250) via at least one of horizontal movement of the tool carrier 250 and posture adjustment of the tool carrier 250 , And then clamp the second tool to the spindle 211. In this case,

As described above, unclamping of the first tool causes a vertical rise (first direction) of the spindle 211, a clamping of the second tool causes vertical descent of the spindle 211 2 directions), but it could be the reverse. In some cases, the clamping or unclamping of the tool may be performed by raising or lowering the tool carrier 250.

After the second tool is clamped to the spindle 211, the control block 270 moves the spindle 211 to a work position to perform a second operation using the second tool, The first tool unclamped to the first tool port of the tool magazine 250 is unclamped to the tool magazine 230 at step S440.

13 (c) to 13 (e), when the second tool is clamped to the spindle 211, the spindle 211 moves to a position for performing the second operation, (250) moves near the tool magazine (230) for unclamping the first tool.

At this time, the tool carrier 250 rotates counterclockwise for position matching with the tool port to be unclamped by the first tool. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, rotation of the tool carrier 250 may not be performed. Meanwhile, the tool magazine 230 may be rotated to match a tool port to which the first tool is to be unclamped to a position at which the tool carrier 250 is moved. Meanwhile, the position adjustment of the tool magazine 230 may be further performed for such position matching.

13 (e), the control block 270 unclamps the first tool through the counter-clockwise rotation of the tool carrier 250 to an empty tool port of the tool magazine 230, .

Then, the control block 270 rotates the tool magazine 230 counterclockwise to clamp the port on which the third tool (black pentagon) to be used in the third operation to be performed next to the second job is mounted Position and rotates the tool carrier 250 counterclockwise to clamp the third tool to the second tool port of the tool carrier 250. The control block 270 then moves the tool carrier 250 to a tool change standby position. Then, the steps (a) to (g) of Fig. 13 are repeatedly performed with the tool alone changed.

FIG. 14 is a conceptual view illustrating a process of performing another example of the method of driving the machine tool 200 according to the present invention.

The tool mounted on the spindle 211 is exchanged from the first tool (red circle) to the second tool (black triangle) in accordance with a process substantially similar to the example shown in Fig. 13 shown in Fig. In the example of FIG. 14, the horizontal movement of the tool port in accordance with the rotation of the tool magazine 230, the horizontal movement of the spindle 211, and the unclamping and clamping of the tool through the vertical lift-down are performed. Hereinafter, the characteristics of the example of FIG. 14 will be described, focusing on the differences from the example shown in FIG.

In the first tool unclamping step of the example of FIG. 14, the horizontal position of the spindle 211 and the horizontal positional matching of the first tool port of the tool carrier 250 are performed in advance. In the second tool clamping step of the example of FIG. 14, the horizontal position of the spindle 211 and the horizontal positional matching of the second tool of the tool carrier 250 are made by the clockwise rotation of the tool carrier 250.

FIGS. 15 and 16 are conceptual diagrams showing a process of performing another example of the method of driving the machine tool 200 according to the present invention.

In the example shown in Fig. 15, the tools mounted on the spindles 211 and 212 are exchanged from the first tool to the second tool, respectively, according to a mechanism similar to the example shown in Fig. Therefore, the characteristic of the example of FIG. 15 will be described focusing on the difference from the example shown in FIG.

In the example of Fig. 15, there is a difference from the example of Fig. 13 in that tool exchange for a plurality of spindles 211 and 212 is performed simultaneously.

On the other hand, the tool change may be performed for three or more tools. That is, the machine tool 200 may further include at least one additional spindle and at least one additional first position adjuster corresponding to the at least one additional spindle. The tool carrier 250 may further include at least one additional first and second tool ports corresponding to the at least one spindle, each of the first and second tool ports being in a set with the first and second tool ports.

In this case, the control block 270 may further control the at least one additional first position adjuster in the tool change step to adjust the position of the additional spindle together with the spindle, so that, with the unclamping of the first tool, A tool mounted on at least one additional spindle may be unclamped to the at least one additional first tool port. The control block 270 may then clamp a tool mounted on the at least one additional second tool port with the clamping of the second tool to the at least one additional spindle. In addition, the control block 270, together with the unclamping of the first tool, provides a tool in the tool magazine 230 that is unclamped to the at least one additional first tool port, It can be unclamped to the tool port.

The example of Figure 16 differs from the example of Figure 15 in that the tool carrier 250 rotates to match the position of the spindles 211 and 212 to the position of the second tool port and the additional tool port for tool clamping There is only. Therefore, the example of FIG. 16 can be easily derived from the example of FIG. 15, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

At least some of the machine tool drive methods described herein may be implemented by separate software modules that perform one function or operation. Such software code may be implemented by a software application written in a suitable programming language. In addition, the software code can be embedded in the control block of the machine tool or stored in a separate memory, and can be executed by the control block.
