Abstract

The present invention discloses a tool holder. Specifically, the tool holder comprises an executing end and a tool end. The executing end comprises a linear motion module and a rotating motion module. Furthermore, a first clutch and a second clutch are used for switching the operating mode therebetween the linear motion module and the rotating motion module. Hence, the present invention can provide different operating modes in a single executing end to the tool end.

Claims (25)

1 . A tool holder, comprising:

a holder, comprising:

at least one positioning pin, configured on end of the holder;

a motor, configured in the holder;

a transmission module, connected with the motor;

a first clutch, detachably engaged with the transmission module;

a linear motion module, detachably connected with the first clutch, and the linear motion module comprises at least one linear motion connector;
