In the first aspect, refer to Figures 1 and 2, which show a schematic diagram of the structure of a knife box placement device 10 in an embodiment of the present application. The knife box placement device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a fixing mechanism 100 and a movable mechanism 200. The fixing mechanism 100 includes a first bracket 110, a first supporting plate 120 and a first transmission assembly 130. The first supporting plate 120 can be movably covered on the first bracket 110. The first supporting plate 120 is used to carry knife boxes 20 of different specifications. The first transmission assembly 130 is arranged on the first bracket 110, and the driving end of the first transmission assembly 130 is connected to the first supporting plate 120. The movable mechanism 200 can be movably arranged and can be combined with or separated from the fixed mechanism 100. The movable mechanism 200 includes a second bracket 210, a second bearing plate 220 and a second transmission assembly 230. The second bracket 210 is provided with an insertion groove 210A, and the insertion groove 210A is used to accommodate the first bracket 110 when combined with the fixed mechanism 100. The second transmission assembly 230 is connected to the second bracket 210. The second transmission assembly 230 is used to drive the movable mechanism 200 to be combined with or separated from the fixed mechanism 100. The second bearing plate 220 is arranged on the second bracket 210, and the second bearing plate 220 is used to carry tool boxes 20 of different specifications. Among them, tool boxes of different specifications are used to load different types of tools and can be applied to different processing. Specifically, the first bracket 110 can be fixed to the ground by fasteners.

It should be noted that when the movable mechanism 200 is combined with the fixed mechanism 100 , the fixed mechanism 100 is placed in the insertion slot 210A of the movable mechanism 200 ; when the movable mechanism 200 is separated from the fixed mechanism 100 , the fixed mechanism 100 is located outside the insertion slot 210A of the movable mechanism 200 .

The knife box placement device 10 described in the embodiment of the present application is that the first carrier plate 120 is movably connected to the first bracket 110, and the first carrier plate 120 is movably covered on the first bracket 110 under the drive of the first transmission component 130. At this time, the first carrier plate 120 can be used to carry the knife box 20, and the second bracket of the movable mechanism is provided with a second carrier plate, and the second carrier plate can also be used to carry the knife box. Since the movable mechanism 200 can be combined or separated with the fixed mechanism 100 under the drive of the second transmission component 230, when the two are in a combined state during normal placement, the knife box 20 to be replaced can be directly placed on the first carrier plate 120, or the first carrier plate 120 can be removed and the knife box 20 to be replaced can be placed on the second carrier plate 220 of the movable mechanism 200. Then, when replacement is required, the movable mechanism 200 and the fixed mechanism 100 are driven to separate, so that both the first carrier plate 120 and the second carrier plate 220 have loading capacity, the disassembled knife box 20 is placed on the empty carrier plate, and then the knife box 20 to be replaced is installed in the equipment, and finally restored to the combined state with a smaller footprint.

The tool box placement device 10 described in the embodiment of the present application expands the capacity of the tool box 20 by adjusting to a separated state when replacing the tool box 20, and is adjusted to a combined state when placing the tool box 20 to be replaced. The floor space occupied by the tool box 20 is greatly reduced and the working space is improved. The tool box placement device 10 can be arranged at a box changing position close to the multi-axis box processing device, which greatly reduces the transportation distance when switching the tool box 20 and reduces the switching time. It has the advantages of improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and improving safety.

As shown in FIG. 3 , FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the fixing mechanism 100 of the knife box placement device in an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the first transmission assembly 130 includes a mounting seat 131, a rotating shaft 132, a rack 134, a gear 133, a first drive unit 135 and a first bearing 136. The mounting seat 131 and the first drive unit 135 are both arranged on the first bracket 110. The rotating shaft 132 is rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 131. One end of the first bearing plate 120 is provided with a connecting portion 121. The connecting portion 121 and the gear 133 are both connected to the rotating shaft 132. The rack 134 is movably meshed with the gear 133. The power output end of the first drive unit 135 is connected to the rack 134. A first bearing 136 is arranged between the mounting seat 131 and the rotating shaft 132. Specifically, the connecting end of the first bearing plate 120 and the first transmission assembly 130 is arranged at the opposite end when the movable mechanism 200 is separated from the fixing mechanism 100. By connecting the connecting portion 121 at one end of the first carrier plate 120 with the rotating shaft 132, the first driving unit 135 drives the rack 134 to slide, thereby driving the meshing gear 133 to rotate, and the gear 133 drives the rotating shaft 132 and the first carrier plate 120 centered on the rotating shaft 132 to rotate. When the first carrier plate 120 is rotated and covered on the first bracket 110, the first carrier plate 120 can normally carry the knife box 20. After the fixing mechanism 100 and the movable mechanism 200 are combined, the first carrier plate 120 is rotated away from the first bracket 110, and the second carrier plate 220 at the bottom will not be blocked by the first carrier plate 120. At this time, the second carrier plate 220 can normally carry the knife box 20. That is to say, in the combined state, the first carrier plate 120 or the second carrier plate 220 can normally carry the knife box 20, thereby greatly reducing the floor space occupied by the knife box placement device 10 under normal placement and improving the working space.

In an exemplary embodiment, when the first driving unit 135 drives the first carrier plate 120 to rotate around the rotating shaft 132 through the gear 133 and the rack 134, the angle between the first carrier plate 120 and the horizontal plane ranges from 0° to 90°. It should be noted that when the first carrier plate 120 is at 0°, the first carrier plate 120 is covered on the first bracket 110, and the first carrier plate 120 can normally place the knife box 20; when the first carrier plate 120 is at 90°, the first carrier plate 120 is erected, and the movable mechanism 200 can be combined with the fixed mechanism 100 with the knife box 20, and will not be blocked by the first carrier plate 120, which is convenient for improving the working space.

In an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the second transmission assembly 230 includes a second drive unit 231 and a flange. The second drive unit 231 is fixedly arranged relative to the position of the first bracket 110. The output end of the second drive unit 231 is connected to the second bracket 210 through the flange. The second drive unit 231 is used to drive the second bracket 210 to be combined with or separated from the first bracket 110. By setting the second drive unit 231 to drive the second bracket 210 to move, so that the insertion slot 210A of the second bracket 210 is inserted into the first bracket 110, the combination of the movable mechanism 200 and the fixed mechanism 100 is completed when only one placement position is required, or the second bracket 210 is moved away from the first bracket 110, so that the separation of the movable mechanism 200 and the fixed mechanism 100 is completed when two placement positions are required, which has the advantage of improving space utilization.

In an optional embodiment, the first drive unit 135 and the second drive unit 231 may be drive cylinders, which have the advantages of low cost and easy use. In other embodiments, the first drive unit 135 and the second drive unit 231 may also be drive mechanisms such as cylinders, electric push rods, oil cylinders or telescopic rods, which are not limited in the present embodiment.

In an optional embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the movable mechanism 200 further includes a guide assembly 240, the guide assembly 240 includes a guide rod 241 and a second bearing 242, the second bearing 242 is disposed on the first bracket 110, one end of the guide rod 241 is connected to the second bracket 210, the other end of the guide rod 241 is movably disposed on the second bearing 242, and the axial direction of the guide rod 241 extends along the moving direction of the movable mechanism 200. Specifically, the second bearing 242 is a linear bearing. Since the insertion groove 210A is inserted into the fixed mechanism 100, the second bracket 210 and the second bearing 242 disposed on the first bracket 110 are connected by setting the guide rod 241, thereby limiting the moving path of the movable mechanism 200 and improving the stability of the movable mechanism 200 when it is separated or combined with the fixed mechanism 100.

Further, as shown in FIG1 , the guide assembly 240 further includes a plurality of casters 243, and the plurality of casters 243 are disposed at the bottom of the second bracket 210. By disposing a plurality of casters 243 at the bottom of the second bracket 210, it is convenient for the second driving unit 231 to drive the second bracket 210 to move, thereby ensuring stability in use. Specifically, the number of casters 243 may include 8, and by distributing the 8 casters 243 in two rows at intervals on the long side of the bottom of the second bracket 210, it is ensured that the tool box 20 has sufficient support force and ensures stability in movement.

In an optional embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , a first positioning pin and a first limiting block 122 are provided on the surface of the first carrier plate 120; and a second positioning pin and a second limiting block 221 are provided on the surface of the second carrier plate 220. Specifically, a plurality of first limiting blocks 122 are respectively provided at the edges of the first carrier plate 120, and when the knife box 20 is placed on the first carrier plate 120, each side of the knife box 20 abuts against the first limiting block 122, and the first positioning pin can be movably inserted into the knife box 20; and a plurality of second limiting blocks 221 are respectively provided at the edges of the second carrier plate 220, and when the knife box 20 is placed on the second carrier plate 220, the side of the knife box 20 abuts against the second limiting block 221, and the second positioning pin can be movably inserted into the knife box 20. By setting a first positioning pin, a first limiting block 122, a second positioning pin and a second limiting block 221, the position of the knife box 20 on the first supporting plate 120 and the second supporting plate 220 is limited to ensure that the knife box 20 is placed accurately and the stability of the knife box 20 on the device is ensured.

In an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the fixing mechanism 100 includes two fixing mechanisms 100, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the second bracket 210 is provided with two insertion slots 210A, and the two insertion slots 210A are arranged one-to-one correspondingly with the two fixing mechanisms 100. By providing two fixing mechanisms 100, two knife boxes can be placed, so the second bracket 210 of the movable mechanism 200 is also provided with two insertion slots 210A, and two knife boxes can also be placed on the movable mechanism 200.

In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application also provides a multi-axis box processing device, including a processing device, at least two tool boxes 20 and the tool box placement device 10 described in any of the above embodiments, each tool box 20 can be detachably installed on the processing device, the tool box placement device 10 is arranged at the box changing position of the processing device, and the tool box placement device 10 is used to place the tool box 20 replaced from the processing device.

In the multi-axis box processing device described in the embodiment of the present application, the tool box placement device 10 can be adjusted to a separated state when the tool box 20 is replaced, thereby expanding the capacity for placing the tool box 20, and is adjusted to a combined state when the tool box 20 to be replaced is normally placed, thereby greatly reducing the floor space occupied by the tool box 20 and improving the working space. The tool box placement device 10 can be arranged at the box changing position of the processing device, thereby greatly reducing the transportation distance when the tool box 20 is switched and reducing the switching time, which has the advantages of improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and improving safety.

In a third aspect, the present application also provides a tool box placement method, using the multi-axis box processing device described in the above embodiment, comprising the following steps:

Step S110: determining whether the knife box 20 to be replaced is placed on the first carrying plate 120 or the second carrying plate 220 of the knife box placement device 10;

Step S120: if the tool box 20 to be replaced is placed on the first carrying plate 120, the movable mechanism 200 is driven to separate from the fixed mechanism 100;

Step S130: placing the replaced tool box 20 on the second carrier plate 220, and then installing the tool box 20 to be replaced on the first carrier plate 120 onto the processing device;

Step S140: driving the first supporting plate 120 to rotate to a position of 90°;

Step S150: driving the movable mechanism 200 to combine the replaced tool box 20 with the fixed mechanism 100.

The knife box placement method described in the embodiment of the present application utilizes the knife box placement device 10 described in the above embodiment. Since the knife box 20 to be replaced can be placed on the first carrier plate 120 or the second carrier plate 220, it is first determined whether the knife box 20 to be replaced is placed on the first carrier plate 120 or the second carrier plate 220. If it is placed on the first carrier plate 120, the movable mechanism 200 is first driven to separate from the fixed mechanism. After separation, the second carrier plate 220 is in an empty state, so the tool box 20 replaced by the processing device can be placed on the second carrier plate 220, and then the tool box 20 to be replaced on the first carrier plate 120 is installed on the processing device, and then the first transmission assembly 130 rotates the first carrier plate 120 to 90°, so that the movable mechanism 200 can be combined with the fixed structure with the replaced tool box 20 without obstacles, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, thereby completing the replacement of the tool box 20. At this time, the replaced tool box 20 becomes the tool box 20 to be replaced placed on the second carrier plate 220. If replacement occurs again, it can be replaced using the subsequent steps S210-step S240.

The knife box placement method described in the embodiment of the present application can separate the movable mechanism 200 and the fixed mechanism 100 when replacing. If the two are in a combined state during normal placement, the footprint of the knife box placement equipment is reduced, the space utilization rate is improved, and the knife box placement equipment can be placed close to the replacement position, thereby saving replacement time and improving production efficiency.

In an optional embodiment, if in step S110, the tool box 20 to be replaced is placed on the second carrying plate 220, the following steps are also included:

Step S210: driving the movable mechanism 200 to separate the tool box 20 to be replaced from the fixed mechanism 100;

Step S220: driving the first supporting plate 120 to rotate to a position of 0°;

Step S230: placing the replaced tool box 20 on the first carrier plate 120, and then installing the tool box 20 to be replaced on the second carrier plate 220 onto the processing device;

Step S240 : driving the unloaded movable mechanism 200 to be coupled with the fixed mechanism 100 .

In this embodiment, since the tool box 20 to be replaced is placed on the second carrier plate 220, the movable mechanism 200 is first driven to separate the replaced tool box 20 from the fixed mechanism 100, and then the first carrier plate 120 is adjusted to 0°, so that the first carrier plate 120 is in an empty state for placement, and then the disassembled tool box 20 is placed on the first carrier plate 120, and then the second carrier plate 220 with the replaced tool box 20 is installed on the processing device, and finally the empty movable mechanism 200 is combined with the fixed mechanism 100, so as to complete the replacement of the tool box 20. At this time, the replaced tool box 20 becomes the tool box 20 to be replaced placed on the second carrier plate 220, and if it is replaced again, it can be replaced using steps S120-step S150.

The tool box placement device and method and the multi-axis box processing device described in the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

1. By adjusting the tool box 20 to a separated state when replacing the tool box 20, the capacity of the tool box 20 is expanded, and by adjusting the tool box 20 to a combined state when placing the tool box 20 to be replaced, the floor space occupied by the tool box 20 is greatly reduced, and the working space is improved. The tool box placement device 10 can be arranged at a box changing position close to the multi-axis box processing device, which greatly reduces the transportation distance when switching the tool box 20 and reduces the switching time, which has the advantages of improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and improving safety.

2.
