Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of precision detection auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to a three-coordinate angle auxiliary tool for adjusting a fixed measuring seat. BACKGROUND

[0002] The auxiliary tool for adjusting the angle of a measuring needle is based on the higher pursuit of measurement efficiency, operation precision, equipment safety and data consistency. Their development process is from experience-based operation to tool-based guarantee, and from online debugging to offline pre-adjustment. These tools, although seemingly simple, are indispensable practical bridges between theoretical precision (the design precision of a CMM body and a probe) and actual precision (the precision of the final measurement result). They ensure that the measuring needle, the "CMM antenna", can be correctly set, so that the expensive three-coordinate measuring machine can perform its due performance. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a three-coordinate angle auxiliary tool for adjusting a fixed measuring seat.

[0004] The specific technical solutions are as follows: A three-coordinate angle auxiliary tool for adjusting a fixed measuring seat is used for angle adjustment of a disc-shaped measuring needle. One end of the disc-shaped measuring needle is a disc with a groove B at the edge, and a waist hole is formed in the bottom surface of the disc. The other end is connected to a small measuring needle through a vertical measuring rod, and a threaded hole B is formed in the end. The tool comprises a dial plate bottom plate, a support frame, a sliding block and a positioning block. One side of the dial plate bottom plate is provided with a circular scale line, the center of the scale line is a positioning precision hole, and four counterbores are formed on the other side. The bottom of the support frame is fixed through screws. The support frame is an L-shaped frame spliced from section bars, and the aluminum alloy section bar is provided with a T-shaped groove. A T-shaped block is arranged in the T-shaped groove. The sliding block is C-shaped and vertically slides along the side surface of the support frame. Three threaded holes A are formed in the top surface of the sliding block. The positioning block is Z-shaped and is bent at a right angle. Three through holes B are formed in the top surface of one end of the positioning block and are fixed through screws in the threaded holes A. A circular groove A is formed in the other end of the positioning block and cooperates with the groove B of the disc-shaped measuring needle. A protruding pin is arranged on the back surface of the positioning block and cooperates with the waist hole of the disc-shaped measuring needle to limit the angle.

[0005] A positioning bushing and a threaded positioning pin are further included. The positioning bushing is a hollow cylinder and is installed in the positioning precision hole. One end of the threaded positioning pin is processed into a threaded hole C and is installed in the threaded hole B through a screw. The other end of the threaded positioning pin is a cylinder and cooperates with the hollow of the positioning bushing.

[0006] The scale line part of the dial plate bottom plate can be vertically flipped and switched between X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis angle adjustment. The scale line is uniformly distributed in four angle regions of 0°-90°, and the scale line angle of each small grid is 1°.

[0007] The dial base plate is provided with a lightening groove and a hand holding groove at the edge of both ends.

[0008] The material of the dial base plate is aluminum alloy and the surface is anodized; the material of the slider is aluminum alloy; the material of the positioning block is pre-hardened chromium-molybdenum alloy die steel P20 which has been heat treated when leaving the factory; the material of the positioning bushing and the threaded positioning pin is CrWMn tool steel which is integrally quenched to increase the wear resistance of the surface.

[0009] The material of the support frame is 6-series aluminum alloy profile.

[0010] The slider is provided with a through hole A at both ends and is connected with the T-shaped block through a screw, slides up and down along the side surface of the support frame and is further locked by the screw.

[0011] The front surface of the slider is provided with two waist grooves.

[0012] The small measuring needle is one or two.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects: The present application provides a measuring needle angle adjustment auxiliary tool which is simple in structure, low in cost, convenient to use and can significantly improve the efficiency and precision. The core target is to realize the "offline presetting, one-time clamping and rapid verification" of the measuring needle angle, and to transfer the high-precision angle adjustment work from the inside of the CMM to the outside safe area.

[0014] The present application converts most of the adjustment time from the expensive CMM occupation time to offline preparation time, significantly improves the equipment utilization rate and greatly improves the efficiency. By replacing the naked eye observation with a high-precision mechanical positioning surface, the subjective error of angle setting is fundamentally eliminated, and the accuracy of the measurement result is ensured. All operations are completed in the safe area outside the CMM workbench, completely avoiding the equipment collision accidents caused by manual adjustment. All angle settings are based on a unified physical reference, ensuring the consistency of different personnel and different time operations, and the comparability of the measurement data. The structure is simple, and the manufacturing and maintenance cost is much lower than that of the imported pre-adjustment instrument, so that the majority of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises can also enjoy the benefits brought by the offline pre-adjustment technology.
