A clip (clamping body) 21 that is openable and closable with respect to each of the holding portions 3a of the exchange arm 3 is provided, and the holder 21 can be clamped to the holder 3a by closing the holder 21 When the clip 21 is opened, the clamping with the grip portion 3a can be released. That is, as shown in Fig. 1, a holding groove 1 is formed in the outer periphery of the tool holder n, and a holding portion 3a is formed to be fitted to the holding groove 1. Then, as shown in Fig. 11, by the clip 21 being closed in a state in which the holding portion 3a is fitted to the holding groove 1, the holding portion 3a and the holder 21 can be used to clamp the tool holder. (The state of Fig. 1 (a)), and the clamping of the clamp portion 3a can be released by the opening of the clamp 21 (the state of Fig. 1 (b)). Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the lever shaft 22 parallel to the output shaft 2 is regarded as a rotating shaft, and a clamping rod having a U-shape is rotatably provided. (Clamp lever) 23, and one end of the clamp -11 - 201231212 rod 23 extends on the side of the nip portion 3a, and a clamp 21 is attached to the front end portion 23a thereof. Further, a connecting shaft 24 parallel to the rod shaft 2 2 is attached to the opening side of the clamp rod 23. On the other hand, between the output shaft 2 and the connecting shaft 24, a ci amp shaft (advancing and retracting moving body) 25 which is parallel to the output shaft 2 and which is movable in the axial direction is provided, and is further provided. A spring (pressing means) 26 for pressing the clamp shaft 25 upward (on the side of the pressing plate 71) is provided. That is, as shown in Fig. 12, a stopper 25a is fixed to the upper end of the clamp shaft 25, and a spring 26 is disposed between the stopper 25a and the base plate 27, and The clamping shaft 25 always acts as an upward force. Further, as shown in Fig. 9, a connecting rod (connecting body) 28 that connects the connecting shaft 24 (clamping rod 23) and the clamp shaft 25 is attached to the coupling shaft 24 and the clamp shaft 25 A pair (two bodies) is disposed in a manner, and both ends of the connecting rod 28 are configured to be rotatable. Further, as shown in Fig. 12, a plate-shaped abutting plate 29 is disposed so as to be bridged to the lower end portions of the two clamp shafts 25. Then, as will be described later, in a state where the drive shaft 7 does not press the abutment plate 29, the clamp shaft 25 is positioned above by the spring 26, and the link bar 28 is substantially perpendicular to the link shaft 24 and the clamp shaft 25. The connecting shaft 24, the clamping shaft 25, and the connecting rod 28 are disposed in a manner. In such a state, when the drive shaft 7 advances downward and presses the abutment plate 29, the clamp shaft 25 advances downward against the urging force of the spring 26, and passes through the connecting rod 28, the coupling shaft 24, and The clamp lever 23 is rotated in the direction of the arrow D1 in Fig. 9 with the lever shaft 22 as an axis. Then, with this rotation, the clamp 21 is opened to retreat from the nip portion 3a. So in

-12- S 201231212 夾塊2 1已打開的狀態下,工具架Η,就不會接觸到夾塊 21,而相對於夾持部3a成爲出入自由狀態。 另一方面,如後述般當藉由驅動軸7而往抵接板29 之按壓被解除時,夾緊軸25就會藉由彈簧26而往上方後 退,且通過連結棒28、連結軸24,並以桿軸22爲軸而使 夾緊桿23往第9圖中箭頭D2方向旋動。然後,伴隨該旋 動,夾塊21就會以往夾持部3a側前進的方式閉合,且可 藉由夾塊21和夾持部3a來夾持工具架Η。藉此,在藉由 驅動軸7而往抵接板29之按壓被解除的狀態下,驅動軸7 係成爲僅與抵接板29相接的狀態。 在如此的夾持狀態下,如上所述,連結棒28是相對 於夾緊軸25而大致垂直地位處。換句話說,連結棒28係 :以從交換臂3通過連結棒28傳至夾緊軸25之力的進退 運動方向(垂直方向)之成分力變小的方式,換言之,以僅 有與夾緊軸25之軸向呈垂直之力會加載於夾緊軸25的方 式位處。因此,藉由來自交換臂3之力(因工具架Η而引 起的重力或離心力等),夾緊軸25就不會於軸向按壓。換 句話說,因彈簧26而引起的按壓力並不會造成很大影響 ,而因夾塊21而引起的夾持力會穩定(可利用因彈簧26 而引起的按壓力來穩定、確實地夾持)。 如以上所述,藉由桿軸2 2、夾緊桿2 3、連結軸2 4、 夾緊軸25、彈簧26、連結棒28及抵接板29,可構成對夾 塊2 1進行開閉驅動的驅動手段,而該驅動手段,係配設 在交換臂3側(換句話說交換臂單元20內)》 -13- 201231212 在此’有關凸輪輪組4的迴旋凸輪槽4b、移位凸輪槽 4c及鎖定凸輪槽4d之凸輪形狀(輸出軸2、驅動軸7之連 動及動作時序),藉由說明自動工具交換裝置1之動作、 作用如下,而省略說明。換句話說,以可獲得如下說明的 自動工具交換裝置1之動作、作用的方式,設定各凸輪槽 4b、4c、4d之凸輪形狀(凸輪軌跡)。 其次’針對如此構成的自動工具交換裝置1之動作、 作用,根據第1 3圖之時序圖加以說明。 首先,在凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0爲〇度的狀態下,如 第14圖所示,輸出軸2(即交換臂3)之旋轉角(迴旋角)矽爲 0度(基準位置)’而衝程位置(直接傳動位置)是在最上位 P1,換句話說成爲後退最多而接近凸輪輪組4的位置。又 ,在此狀態下’驅動軸7之衝程位置(直接傳動位置)也是 在最上位P3,換句話說後退最多而位於隨動側凸輪隨動 件9 b側,且如上所述’夾緊軸2 5位於上方,而成爲夾塊 2 1已閉合的狀態(工具夾緊狀態)。 其次,當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達01度時,交換 臂3就開始旋動,進而當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達02 度時,驅動軸7會往下方開始前進。然後,當凸輪輪組4 之旋轉角Θ到達Θ3度時,就如第15圖所示,驅動軸7會 到達最下位P 4 ’換句§舌說到達則進最多的位置,且如上 所述,夾緊軸25會藉由驅動軸7而前進並使夾緊桿23旋 動’而夾塊21就會打開。換句話說,成爲工具鬆開狀態 。此時,交換臂3之旋轉角0係成爲於1度。-12- S 201231212 When the clamp 2 1 is opened, the tool holder 不会 does not come into contact with the clamp 21, and is in a free access state with respect to the clamp portion 3a. On the other hand, when the pressing of the abutting plate 29 by the drive shaft 7 is released as will be described later, the clamp shaft 25 is retracted upward by the spring 26, and passes through the connecting rod 28 and the connecting shaft 24, The clamping lever 23 is rotated in the direction of the arrow D2 in the ninth diagram with the lever shaft 22 as the axis. Then, with the rotation, the clip 21 is closed in such a manner that the grip portion 3a side advances, and the holder frame can be held by the clip 21 and the grip portion 3a. As a result, in a state where the pressing of the contact plate 29 by the drive shaft 7 is released, the drive shaft 7 is brought into contact with only the contact plate 29. In such a clamped state, as described above, the connecting rod 28 is substantially perpendicular to the clamp shaft 25. In other words, the connecting rod 28 is a method in which the component force in the forward and backward movement direction (vertical direction) of the force transmitted from the exchange arm 3 to the clamp shaft 25 through the connecting rod 28 is reduced, in other words, only and clamped. A vertical force in the axial direction of the shaft 25 is applied to the position of the clamping shaft 25. Therefore, the clamping shaft 25 is not pressed in the axial direction by the force from the exchange arm 3 (gravity or centrifugal force caused by the tool holder). In other words, the pressing force due to the spring 26 does not greatly affect, and the clamping force due to the clamp 21 is stabilized (the pressing force due to the spring 26 can be used to stabilize and reliably clamp) hold). As described above, the shaft 2, the clamping rod 23, the coupling shaft 24, the clamping shaft 25, the spring 26, the connecting rod 28, and the abutment plate 29 can be configured to open and close the chuck 2 1 . The driving means is provided on the side of the exchange arm 3 (in other words, in the exchange arm unit 20). -13- 201231212 Here, the "revolving cam groove 4b of the cam wheel set 4, the shift cam groove" 4c and the cam shape of the lock cam groove 4d (the interlocking of the output shaft 2 and the drive shaft 7 and the operation timing), the operation and function of the automatic tool change device 1 will be described below, and the description thereof will be omitted. In other words, the cam shape (cam track) of each of the cam grooves 4b, 4c, and 4d is set so as to obtain the operation and action of the automatic tool changer 1 described below. Next, the operation and action of the automatic tool changer 1 configured as described above will be described based on the timing chart of Fig. 3 . First, in a state where the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 is a twist, as shown in Fig. 14, the rotation angle (swing angle) of the output shaft 2 (i.e., the exchange arm 3) is 0 (reference position)' The stroke position (direct drive position) is at the highest position P1, in other words, the position that is most retreated and approaches the cam wheel set 4. Further, in this state, the stroke position of the drive shaft 7 (direct drive position) is also at the uppermost position P3, in other words, the most retracted and is located on the side of the follower side cam follower 9b, and as described above, the 'clamping shaft 2 5 is located above, and becomes a state in which the clamp 2 1 is closed (tool clamping state). Next, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 01 degrees, the exchange arm 3 starts to rotate, and when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 02 degrees, the drive shaft 7 starts to advance downward. Then, when the rotation angle 凸轮 of the cam gear set 4 reaches Θ3 degrees, as shown in Fig. 15, the drive shaft 7 will reach the lowest position P 4 ', and the tongue will say that the arrival is the most, as described above. The clamping shaft 25 is advanced by the drive shaft 7 and the clamping lever 23 is rotated 'and the clamp 21 is opened. In other words, become the tool release state. At this time, the rotation angle 0 of the exchange arm 3 is 1 degree.

S -14- 201231212 從如此的狀態起,當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達$ 4 度時,就如第16圖所示,驅動軸7會藉由彈簧26而開始 後退’且如上所述,夾緊軸25會後退並使夾緊桿23旋動 ’而夾塊21就會開始閉合。與此同時,交換臂3之旋動 速度、換句話說輸出軸2之旋動速度會減速。亦即,在凸 輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達0 4度的時點,交換臂3之旋轉 角少會到達设2度,而在凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達0 5度 的時點,交換臂3之旋轉角0會到達03度,且從旋轉角幻 度至珍3度的旋動速度(第13圖中的時序圖線(chart line)Tl 之斜率),會變得比旋轉角〇度至02度的旋動速度還更慢 。另一方面,當交換臂3之旋轉角珍到達设3度時,交換臂 3之夾持部3a就會與工具架Η完全地接觸(工具架η嵌合 於夾持部3a)’而且,旋轉角02度和故3度之差異,係設 定爲1度左右。換句話說’可設定迴旋凸輪槽4b之凸輪 形狀’俾在眼看夾持部3a就要接觸到工具架η之前,使 交換臂3之旋動速度減速。 然後’當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達05度時,交換 臂3之旋轉角少就會到達03度,並維持該旋轉角少3。又, 在旋轉角珍爲设3度之時點’換句話說在工具架η嵌合於交 換臂3之夾持部3a的時點’夾塊21將成爲打開至未與工 具架Η接觸之程度的狀態。從此狀態起,當凸輪輪組4之 旋轉角0到達06度時’就如第17圖所示,驅動軸7會到 達最上位Ρ3’且與上述同樣夾塊21會閉合,並藉由與夾 持部3a完成工具架Η之夾持。另一方面,在與該夾持之 -15- 201231212 完成同時,交換臂3會開始前進。 其次,當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角Θ到達Θ7度時’就如 第18圖所示,交換臂3會再次開始旋動,且在凸輪輪組4 之旋轉角0已到達08度之時點,如第19圖所示,交換臂 3之衝程位置會到達最下位P2,換句話說到達前進最多的 位置。如此交換臂3之衝程位置,從最上位P1到達最下 位P2的期間,驅動軸7也會與輸出軸2 —起前進,且構 成鎖定桿9之隨動側凸輪隨動件9b離開按壓盤71的狀態 。亦即,在此期間,如上所述,由於沒有必要使驅動軸7 往下方前進,所以隨動側凸輪隨動件9b不會與按壓盤7 1 接觸或追隨。 然後,當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達0 9度時,就如 第20圖所示,交換臂3會開始後退,且在凸輪輪組4之 旋轉角0到達0 10度之時點,如第21圖所示,交換臂3 之旋轉角沙會到達04度(1 80度以上)。 接著,當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達0 1 1度時,就如 第22圖所示,驅動軸7會開始前進,且如上所述,夾塊 2 1會開始打開。與此同時,交換臂3之後退速度、換句話 說輸出軸2之後退速度會減速。亦即,在凸輪輪組4之旋 轉角0到達0 1 1度之時點,交換臂3之衝程位置會到達位 置P5,而在凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達012度之時點, 交換臂3之衝程位置會到達最上位P1,且從位置P5至最 上位P 1的後退速度(第1 3圖中之時序圖線T2的傾斜), 會變得比從最下位P2至位置P5之後退速度還更慢。而且S -14- 201231212 From this state, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches $4 degrees, as shown in Fig. 16, the drive shaft 7 starts to retreat by the spring 26' and as described above. The clamping shaft 25 will retreat and the clamping lever 23 will be rotated 'and the clamp 21 will begin to close. At the same time, the rotational speed of the exchange arm 3, in other words, the rotational speed of the output shaft 2, is decelerated. That is, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam wheel set 4 reaches 0 4 degrees, the rotation angle of the exchange arm 3 is less than 2 degrees, and when the rotation angle 0 of the cam wheel set 4 reaches 0 5 degrees, the exchange is performed. The rotation angle 0 of the arm 3 will reach 03 degrees, and the rotation speed from the rotation angle to the 3 degree (the slope of the chart line T1 in Fig. 13) will become larger than the rotation angle 〇 The rotation speed to 02 degrees is still slower. On the other hand, when the rotation angle of the exchange arm 3 reaches 3 degrees, the grip portion 3a of the exchange arm 3 is completely in contact with the tool holder (the tool holder n is fitted to the clamp portion 3a)' The difference between the rotation angle of 02 degrees and the third degree is set to about 1 degree. In other words, the cam shape of the swirl cam groove 4b can be set to decelerate the rotational speed of the exchange arm 3 before the grip portion 3a comes into contact with the tool holder n. Then, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 05 degrees, the rotation angle of the exchange arm 3 reaches 03 degrees, and the rotation angle is maintained to be 3 less. Moreover, when the rotation angle is set to 3 degrees, in other words, when the tool holder n is fitted to the nip portion 3a of the exchange arm 3, the clamp 21 will be opened to the extent that it is not in contact with the tool holder. status. From this state, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 06 degrees, 'as shown in Fig. 17, the drive shaft 7 will reach the uppermost position ' 3' and the same clamp 21 will be closed as described above, and with the clamp The holding portion 3a completes the clamping of the tool holder. On the other hand, at the same time as the clamping of -15-201231212 is completed, the exchange arm 3 starts to advance. Secondly, when the rotation angle 凸轮 of the cam gear set 4 reaches Θ7 degrees, as shown in Fig. 18, the exchange arm 3 starts to rotate again, and when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 has reached 08 degrees, As shown in Fig. 19, the stroke position of the exchange arm 3 reaches the lowest position P2, in other words, reaches the position where the advancement is the most. When the stroke position of the arm 3 is exchanged, the drive shaft 7 also advances with the output shaft 2 from the uppermost position P1 to the lowermost position P2, and the follower side cam follower 9b constituting the lock lever 9 leaves the pressing plate 71. status. That is, during this period, as described above, since it is not necessary to advance the drive shaft 7 downward, the follower side cam follower 9b does not come into contact with or follow the pressing plate 7 1 . Then, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 0 9 degrees, as shown in Fig. 20, the exchange arm 3 starts to retreat, and when the rotation angle 0 of the cam wheel set 4 reaches 0 10 degrees, such as As shown in Fig. 21, the angle of rotation of the exchange arm 3 reaches 04 degrees (1 80 degrees or more). Next, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 0 1 1 degree, as shown in Fig. 22, the drive shaft 7 starts to advance, and as described above, the clamp 2 1 starts to open. At the same time, the reverse speed of the exchange arm 3, in other words, the retraction speed of the output shaft 2, is decelerated. That is, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 0 1 1 degree, the stroke position of the exchange arm 3 reaches the position P5, and at the point when the rotation angle 0 of the cam wheel set 4 reaches 012 degrees, the exchange arm 3 The stroke position will reach the uppermost position P1, and the retreat speed from the position P5 to the uppermost position P 1 (the inclination of the timing chart line T2 in Fig. 3) will become faster than the backward speed from the lowermost position P2 to the position P5. Still slower. and

S -16- 201231212 ’從位置P5至最上位pi之距離爲imm以下,且比起從 最下位P2至位置P5之距離爲i00mm以上,還設定爲顯 著的短。亦即,在眼看交換臂3就要到達最上位P1之前 後退速度會減速,且在已減速的速度狀態下會到達最上位 P 1 ’換句話說到達後述的工具鬆開狀態。 然後,當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達012度時,就如 第23圖所示’驅動軸7會到達最下位P4,且與上述同樣 夾塊21會打開’且成爲工具鬆開狀態。與此同時,如上 所述交換臂3會到達最上位P1,並且交換臂3開始往反 方向旋動。在此狀態下,當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達0 13度時’就如第2 4圖所示,驅動軸7會開始後退,且如 上所述夾塊2 1開始閉合。此時,交換臂3之旋轉角设成爲 汐5度。 更且’當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達014度時,就如 第25圖所示,驅動軸7會到達最上位P3,且與上述同樣 夾塊21會閉合’並與夾持部3a完成對工具架η之夾持。 接著,當凸輪輪組4之旋轉角0到達β 1 5度時,交換臂3 之旋轉角设會到達1 80度,且在此狀態下,凸輪輪組4之 旋轉角0會到達3 60度。 如以上所述,依據該自動工具交換裝置1,則在直至 工具架Η接觸到(嵌合於)交換臂3之夾持部3a爲止,在 夾塊21已打開的狀態下工具架Η並不會接觸到夾塊21。 因此,不會因工具架Η和夾塊21碰撞,對交換臂3或夾 塊21、或是工具架Η帶來損傷’又不會對周圍發出大的 -17- 201231212 撞擊音。而且,在工具架Η嵌合於交換臂3之夾持部3a 之後,由於夾塊21會閉合而夾持工具架Η,所以可穩定 夾持工具架Η。 又,在眼看交換臂3之夾持部3a就要接觸到工具架 Η之前,由於交換臂3之旋動速度會減速,所以可緩和夾 持部3a和工具架Η之撞擊力,且可更抑制帶給交換臂3 或工具架Η等之損傷、或帶給周圍之撞擊音。更且,在眼 看交換臂3就要後退而到達最上位Ρ1之前,由於交換臂 3之後退速度會減速,所以可緩和因交換臂3之後退而帶 來的撞擊力(慣性力)。與此同時,在交換臂3從位匱Ρ5 後退至最上位Ρ1之較短的距離間,由於工具架Η被鬆開( 開放),所以可吸收工具架Η之位置精度的偏移。 另一方面,由於驅動軸7進退運動自如地配設在輸出 軸2內,更且僅在必要時使鎖定桿9移動,藉此可使凸輪 輪組4小型化,所以能夠將裝置1整體小型化、輕量化。 而且,在輸出軸2之上部,並未配置有構件或機構,故可 確保空間。因此,最適合作爲直立式之自動工具交換裝置 1,而且,能夠配置在工具機之主軸的上方等。又,由於 在交換臂3側集中構成或配設有交換臂單元20、驅動手段 22至29,所以能夠輕易地進行驅動手段22至29等的保 養、修理等。更且,由於是利用呈一體的夾塊21來夾持 工具架Η,所以構成變得簡易。 以上雖然已就本發明的實施形態加以說明,但是具體 的構成,並非被限於上述的實施形態,即使有不脫離本發S -16 - 201231212 'The distance from the position P5 to the highest position pi is im or less, and is set to be significantly shorter than the distance from the lowermost position P2 to the position P5 of i00 mm or more. That is, the reverse speed is decelerated before the switching arm 3 reaches the uppermost position P1, and reaches the uppermost position P 1 ' in the decelerated speed state, in other words, reaches the tool release state described later. Then, when the rotational angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 012 degrees, as shown in Fig. 23, the drive shaft 7 will reach the lowermost position P4, and the same clamp 21 will open as described above and become the tool release state. At the same time, the exchange arm 3 reaches the uppermost position P1 as described above, and the exchange arm 3 starts to rotate in the reverse direction. In this state, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches 0 13 degrees, as shown in Fig. 24, the drive shaft 7 starts to retreat, and the clamp block 2 1 starts to close as described above. At this time, the rotation angle of the exchange arm 3 is set to 汐5 degrees. Further, 'when the rotation angle 0 of the cam wheel set 4 reaches 014 degrees, as shown in Fig. 25, the drive shaft 7 will reach the uppermost position P3, and the same clamp block 21 will close 'and with the nip portion 3a as described above. The clamping of the tool holder η is completed. Then, when the rotation angle 0 of the cam gear set 4 reaches β 15 degrees, the rotation angle of the exchange arm 3 is set to reach 180 degrees, and in this state, the rotation angle 0 of the cam wheel set 4 reaches 3 60 degrees. . As described above, according to the automatic tool changer 1, the tool holder is not in the state in which the clamp 21 is opened until the tool holder Η comes into contact with (engages) the nip portion 3a of the exchange arm 3. Will contact the clamp block 21. Therefore, there is no damage to the exchange arm 3 or the clamp block 21 or the tool holder due to the collision of the tool holder and the clamp block ‘, and no large -17-201231212 impact sound is emitted to the surroundings. Further, after the tool holder is fitted to the holding portion 3a of the exchange arm 3, since the holder 21 is closed and the tool holder is held, the tool holder can be stably held. Moreover, before the grip portion 3a of the exchange arm 3 is in contact with the tool holder, since the rotation speed of the exchange arm 3 is decelerated, the impact force of the clamp portion 3a and the tool holder can be alleviated, and the impact force can be further improved. Suppresses damage to the exchange arm 3 or the tool holder, or the surrounding impact sound. Further, before the switching arm 3 is retracted to reach the uppermost level Ρ1, since the reverse speed of the exchange arm 3 is decelerated, the impact force (inertial force) due to the retreat of the exchange arm 3 can be alleviated. At the same time, since the exchange arm 3 is retracted from the position 匮Ρ5 to the uppermost position Ρ1, since the tool holder is loosened (opened), the positional accuracy of the tool holder can be absorbed. On the other hand, since the drive shaft 7 is retractably moved in the output shaft 2, and the lock lever 9 is moved only when necessary, the cam wheel group 4 can be miniaturized, so that the apparatus 1 can be made small overall. And lightweight. Moreover, no member or mechanism is disposed above the output shaft 2, so space can be secured. Therefore, it is most suitable as an upright automatic tool changer 1, and can be disposed above the main shaft of the machine tool. Further, since the exchange arm unit 20 and the drive means 22 to 29 are collectively arranged or disposed on the side of the exchange arm 3, maintenance, repair, and the like of the drive means 22 to 29 and the like can be easily performed.
