[0005] Another object of the present application is to realize the automatic adjustment of the centering of the saw beam.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present application adopts the following technical scheme.

[0009] Preferably, a spiral groove is arranged on the indication rod, a positioning ball matched with the spiral groove is arranged in the positioning ring, and the pressure sensor is arranged in cooperation with the positioning ball.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting bridge of the roller guide rail assembly is equipped with a self-aligning indicator mechanism. The position of the connecting bridge of the roller guide rail assembly is prone to shifting; therefore, the self-aligning indicator mechanism can assist in limiting the position of the connecting bridge connected to the roller guide rail assembly, improving the stability of the saw beam installation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The application will be further described below in combination with the specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] As Figures 1 to 6As shown, a saw beam position detection mechanism that can indicate changes in the saw beam position is disclosed. The saw beam 3 is mounted on a machine base 1. A connecting bridge 4 is slidably provided between the saw beam 3 and the machine base 1. There are two connecting bridges 4, which span the saw beam 3. One of the connecting bridges 4 is equipped with a roller guide rail assembly 5, and the other is equipped with a linear guide rail assembly 9. The linear guide rail assembly 9 includes a linear guide rail 10 and a self-aligning slider 11 that are in relative sliding fit. Self-aligning sliders 11 are respectively provided on the lower sides of both ends of the connecting bridge 4 connecting the linear guide rail assembly 9. A connecting plate 12 that is installed on the upper side of the self-aligning slider 11 is fixedly provided. The roller guide rail assembly 5 includes a roller 6 disposed in the connecting bridge 4 and a guide rail disposed on the machine base 1. A self-aligning indicator mechanism 2 is provided on the outer side of one of the connecting bridges 4, specifically, a self-aligning indicator mechanism 2 is provided on the connecting bridge 4 where the roller guide rail assembly 5 is disposed. Rollers 6 are provided at both ends of the connecting bridge 4 connecting the roller guide rail assembly 5. The cross-sectional shape of the track 7 is "I" shaped, and the width of the upper end of the track 7 is between 1 / 2 and 2 / 3 of the height of the roller 6. The connecting bridge 4 is a downward-opening "C" shaped steel structure, and the roller 6 is set in the opening of the connecting bridge 4. The rotation axis of the roller 6 is perpendicular to the axis of the track 7.

[0029] The self-aligning indicator mechanism 2 includes an indicator rod 15 rotatably mounted on the machine base 1, a connecting rod fixedly mounted on the connecting bridge 4, and a positioning ring 13 rotatably mounted on the outer end of the connecting rod. The positioning ring 13 is sleeved on the indicator rod 15, and a pressure sensor 18 for detecting the pressure between the indicator rod 15 and the positioning ring 13 is installed inside the positioning ring 13. The indicator rod 15 has a spiral groove 16, and the positioning ring 13 has positioning balls 17 that cooperate with the spiral groove 16. The pressure sensor 18 is also installed in conjunction with the positioning balls 17. The indicator rod 15 is cylindrical, and the spiral groove 16 has three spiral grooves arranged in a circumferential array around the axis of the indicator rod 15. The spiral groove 16 is a transmission thread and cannot self-lock; it will rotate when subjected to axial force. There are three positioning balls 17, which respectively cooperate with the three spiral grooves 16. The inner circumference of the positioning ring 13 has an open ball groove, and the positioning balls 17 are placed in the ball groove, with a portion of the positioning balls 17 extending out of the opening of the ball groove to cooperate with the spiral groove 16. A connecting section 131 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the positioning ring 13. A positioning rod 14 is provided on the connecting bridge 4. A stepped hole 141 is provided inside the outer end of the positioning rod 14. The connecting section 131 is in the shape of a stepped shaft. The connecting section 131 is rotatably connected to the stepped hole 141 through a bearing assembly.

[0030] The machine base 1 is equipped with a ball seat 24, inside which is a ball shell 25. Lubricating beads that mate with the ball shell 25 are located on the inner circumference of the ball seat 24. A bearing assembly connected to the indicator rod 15 is located inside the ball shell 25. The outer shape of the ball seat 24 is cuboid, and its outer circumference is spherical. An "I"-shaped mounting hole is provided inside the ball seat 24. Bearings are installed at both ends of the ball seat 24. The end of the indicator rod 15 is rotatably connected to the ball seat 24 via the bearings. The ball seat 24 has a two-half spliced ​​structure, with the splicing surface perpendicular to the axis of the indicator rod 15. The two halves of the ball seat 24 are fixed together with bolts, facilitating the placement of the internal lubricating beads.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, a saw beam 3 position detection mechanism that can indicate the change in the position of the saw beam 3, the only difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that: both connecting bridges 4 are equipped with roller guide rail assemblies 5.

[0033] The limited movement of the saw beam 3 can be caused by the following situations: 1. Long-term operation causes the saw beam 3 to shift position; 2. Waste debris on the track 7 causes sudden changes in the position of the track 7 or jamming; 3. The machine 1 experiences crushing deformation at the corresponding position of the track 7 due to long-term use. In the first case, the indicator rod 15, in conjunction with the pressure sensor 18, can maintain continuous monitoring and provide feedback on the value of the pressure sensor 18. The indicator rod 15 undergoes adaptive deformation under the action of the positioning ring 13, and the value of the pressure sensor 18 remains within a controllable range. In the second case, the jamming of the track 7 causes resistance to exist on the track 7, which has a relatively small impact on the positioning ring 13. Therefore, in the case where the value of the pressure sensor 18 does not change suddenly, but the track 7 is jammed, maintenance can be performed by cleaning the track 7. In the third case, the machine jams after the pressure sensor 18 detects a sudden and extremely large value, and the indicator rod 15 also shows a large deformation. This can be identified as a problem with the machine 1, requiring corresponding maintenance. By monitoring the movement pressure of the saw beam 3 through this application, the position of the saw beam 3 can be indicated, which greatly improves the maintenance efficiency of the saw beam 3 movement mechanism. This application can detect the position of the saw beam 3, adapt to the deformation caused by the movement of the saw beam 3, and avoid sudden changes in the position of the saw beam 3 through vertical pressure feedback detection. The self-aligning indicator mechanism 2 can provide auxiliary limiting for the connecting bridge 4 connected to the roller guide rail assembly 5, thereby improving the stability of the saw beam 3 during installation.
