Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of machine tool equipment installation, and in particular to a laser machine tool body guide rail installation device and a straightening method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of laser machine tools, the processing range of the long axis of the machine tool has gradually increased from the original 3 meters to 4 meters, 6 meters, 8 meters and 12 meters and even larger specifications. The length of the guide rails used for the long axis has also increased from 4 meters to 5 meters, 8 meters, 10 meters, 14 meters and other lengths. This puts higher requirements on the straightness of the long axis guide rails. In the existing technology, the straightness of the long axis guide rails is usually adjusted using a marble straightedge. As the length of the guide rail changes, it is necessary to purchase straightedges of different lengths, which is costly. In addition, marble is large in size and heavy in weight, and is easily bumped and broken during transportation. The method of using straightedges to splice during the adjustment process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also cannot guarantee the accuracy of the machine tool.

[0003] A high-precision guide rail straightness calibration structure and method thereof are published in the Chinese Patent Database. Its announcement number is: CN107387556A, and the announcement date is: November 24, 2017. It includes a base, a marble parallel ruler, a guide rail, a slider, a wedge block, a tightening block, an adjusting screw and a fixing screw. The marble parallel ruler is installed on one side of the base. The base is provided with a mounting slot and an adjusting slot connected to the mounting slot. The guide rail is locked in the mounting slot by a fixing screw. The guide rail is tightly attached to the side wall of the mounting slot. The slider is slidably arranged on the guide rail. A micrometer for calibrating the guide rail straightness is placed on the top of the slider. The wedge block and the tightening block are both installed in the adjusting slot. One end face of the tightening block presses against the guide rail, and the other end face of the tightening block presses against one end face of the wedge block, and the other end face of the wedge block presses against the side wall of the adjusting slot. This calibration structure does not have high requirements for the edge surface of the workpiece, and the guide rail straightness can be expressed by data. The guide rail straightness can be adjusted within the range of 0.002 mm, which is suitable for machine tools with high precision requirements; however, when using this calibration structure, multiple wedges and tightening blocks matching the wedges are set. When adjusting the linear guide rails at different corresponding points, it is necessary to adjust the tightness of the entire section of the screws to make the tightening block rise or fall. During use, the tightness of the screws will become loose due to vibration or collision of the machine tool processing, which will reduce the reference accuracy of the adjustment and thus reduce the reliability of the calibration accuracy; and when the straightness of the marble parallel ruler deviates, it is necessary to use a rubber hammer to knock on the side of the marble parallel ruler, which is highly dependent on manual labor, cumbersome operation, low calibration efficiency and large calibration error.

[0004] The Chinese patent database also published a device for precisely straightening linear guides, with the announcement number CN208374674U and the announcement date January 15, 2019. The device includes a base, a linear guide, a slider, a marble straightedge, a micrometer and a guide rail straightener. The marble straightedge is arranged in the middle groove of the base, and the upper surface of the base is provided with a guide rail mounting surface. The linear guide is fixed to the guide rail mounting surface by bolts, the slider is slidably connected to the linear guide, and the micrometer is connected to the top of the slider; the guide rail straightener includes an eccentric shaft bolt and a top block, one side of the top block abuts against the outer side of the linear guide, and the top block is connected to the base by an eccentric shaft bolt; this device solves the problems of reduced installation accuracy of the linear guide, increased blockage of each axis during movement, and poor movement, improves the long-term accuracy of each operating axis of the machine tool, and meets the needs of high-speed and high-precision CNC machine tools. The device uses multiple guide rail straighteners set on the left and right sides of the marble straight ruler, with the marble straight ruler as a unified benchmark. Marble is hard and is easily affected by machine vibration during daily use of the machine tool. It is prone to wear and tear, which causes deviations and affects the straightening accuracy. In addition, the cost of marble is relatively high. When the length of the long axis of the machine tool increases, the production cost of the machine tool increases. Summary of the Invention

As the straightening reference for the guide rail straightness, the guide rail straightness detection and calibration mechanism 6 is moved within the full length of the guide rail during measurement to measure the distance between the guide rail and the straightening reference steel belt within the full length of the guide rail. The measured data is continuously transmitted one by one to the computer terminal by the Bluetooth transmission display 57 to observe the distance values between each measuring point on the guide rail 2 and the steel belt 5. If the difference exceeds the value, the guide rail 2 is adjusted to achieve the measurement and calibration of the guide rail straightness. The straightening method of the present invention can control the guide rail straightness calibration error within 0.002 mm, and the straightening accuracy is high.

[0041] Specifically: first, the steel belt tensioning mechanism 3 and the steel belt position adjustment mechanism 4 are installed on the machine tool body 1, and the fixed plate 12 of the steel belt tensioning mechanism 3 and the fixed plate 2 28 of the steel belt position adjustment mechanism 4 are respectively installed on the side plane of the machine body through the connecting plate 11 and the connecting plate 2 27. A steel belt clamping mechanism is provided on the fixed plate 12 and the fixed plate 2 28, including a steel belt fixing base plate 7 and a steel belt fixing cover plate 8 connected and fixed by fastening screws 10, and a steel belt clamping plate 9 is also provided in the installation groove of the steel belt fixing cover plate 8. When the steel belt 5 is installed, the two ends of the steel belt 5 are respectively clamped between the steel belt fixing base plate 7 and the steel belt fixing cover plate 8. The steel belt clamping plate 9 provides a large friction force for clamping the steel belt 5, keeps the position of the steel belt 5 stable, and avoids the steel belt fixing base plate 7 and the steel belt fixing cover plate 8 failing to clamp the steel belt 5 under the action of the fastening screws 10, causing deviation in the position of the steel belt 5. When the steel belt 5 is tightened, the first adjusting screw 22 is adjusted to adjust the distance between the Y-shaped tensioning plate 15 and the tensioning seat 21, and the second positioning pin 17 passes through the I-shaped groove in the straight part at one end of the Y-shaped tensioning plate 15. When the Y-shaped tensioning plate 15 moves under the action of the first adjusting screw 22, the second positioning pin 17 can move to a limited position in the I-shaped groove in the straight part at one end of the Y-shaped tensioning plate 15, so that the Y-shaped tensioning plate 15 can drive the sliding plate 16 to move in the guide groove of the guide plate 13, and the other side of the sliding plate 16 is opposite to the second positioning pin 17 and is also connected to the steel belt fixed base plate 7 through the third positioning pin 26. When the sliding plate 16 performs a limited displacement, the steel belt clamping mechanism is pulled from the side to the top, thereby tightening or loosening the steel belt 5. The surface of the steel belt 5 is in contact with the bent end surface of the first steel belt limiting plate 25, and the bent end surface of the first steel belt limiting plate 25 provides further support and steering for the steel belt 5. When adjusting the position of the steel belt, the position of the adjustment plate 29 is adjusted by rotating the second adjustment screw 36 to relax or compress the clamping spring 34. The second steel belt support shaft 37 rotates with the adjustment of the adjustment plate 29, driving the second steel belt limit plate 39 to rotate. The bent end surface of the second steel belt limit plate 39 supports the steel belt 5, and its rotation angle adjusts the inclination angle of the steel belt 5 until the distance measured at both ends of the guide rail is within the error range of 0.002 mm. The steel belt 5 is used as the straightening reference of the guide rail 2.

[0042] The present invention replaces the marble parallel ruler in the prior art with a steel belt, avoids the use of bulky marble as a guide rail alignment reference, reduces repeated handling and calibration of the marble parallel ruler, and reduces the production cost of the machine tool. When the processing range of the machine tool changes, the straightness of the machine tool guide rail can be adjusted by selecting a steel belt of appropriate length according to the length of the guide rail. Compared with the prior art method of replacing a bulky marble straight ruler or splicing multiple marble straight rulers, the present invention is convenient and quick to use, reduces the difficulty of adjustment, avoids repeated alignment, and can spend less time and money while ensuring alignment accuracy, thereby improving alignment efficiency. The steel belt is easy to organize and store in daily production and maintenance of the processing machine tool, is less affected by machine tool vibration, wear, etc., and reduces the impact on the guide rail alignment reference during alignment. During the guide rail alignment process, the measuring mechanism is connected to the computer, and the measured data is continuously and in real time transmitted to the computer terminal for convenient recording. The position of the guide rail at the corresponding point can be adjusted in time, saving adjustment time, improving the mechanization degree of guide rail alignment, and improving efficiency. The present invention is particularly suitable for use in the guide rail straightening device of high-precision machine tools with increased major axis length.
