Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of vibration testing equipment for hydrogen storage systems of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and in particular to a milling cutter height measurement and adjustment device for milling machines. Background Technology

[0002] In the general metal processing field, ingot milling machines are important upstream equipment in hot rolling lines of rolling mills, and their normal and stable production plays a vital role in ensuring the normal operation of hot rolling lines.

[0003] Milling cutters on ingot milling machines are typically divided into roughing cutters and finishing cutters. For typical equipment operation, there are usually 20 roughing cutters and 2 finishing cutters. In practical applications, there are specific dimensional requirements for the spacing between the finishing and roughing cutters. For example, the spacing between the finishing and roughing cutters can be designed to be 0.2mm to 0.25mm. Correspondingly, the flatness requirement between the roughing cutters is no greater than 0.05mm.

[0004] Currently, parameters such as the height of milling cutters are typically adjusted using traditional dial indicators. Specifically, the traditional method for adjusting milling cutters on a casting milling machine involves mounting a dial indicator on the cutter head, slowly rotating the cutter head manually, and then adjusting the height of each cutter individually. Because the cutting edge of a milling cutter is curved, the dial indicator probe makes point contact with the cutter's cutting edge. This makes it difficult to control precision during the adjustment process. This can lead to the roughing cutter not achieving the required flatness, or the distance between the finishing cutter and the roughing cutter being too large or too small, resulting in tool marks on the milled surface of the ingot and severely affecting the surface quality requirements. Furthermore, the dial indicator head is prone to skew or loosening, making the adjustment process time-consuming and prone to large errors, causing numerous adverse effects on the overall operation of the milling machine and the corresponding ingot processing.

[0005] In view of this, how to improve the accuracy of milling cutter height measurement and adjustment, and make milling cutter height adjustment more accurate and efficient, is an important technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a milling cutter height measurement and adjustment device for milling machines, which can improve the accuracy of milling cutter height measurement and adjustment, and make the height adjustment of the milling cutter more accurate and efficient.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a milling cutter height measuring and adjusting device, including a positioning component that is detachably assembled with the milling surface of an ingot and a reference component that is assembled with the milling cutter. The reference component includes a positioning section, a transition section and a measuring section connected sequentially along its length.

[0008] The bottom surface of the positioning section is parallel to the milled surface of the ingot, and the positioning element is embedded between the positioning section and the milled surface of the ingot. An adjusting element that can adjust the distance between the positioning section and the positioning element is detachably provided between the positioning element and the bottom surface of the positioning section.

[0009] The top surface of the measuring section is a measuring reference surface that can contact and abut against the milling cutter, and the measuring reference surface is parallel to the milling surface of the ingot.

[0010] Preferably, both the positioning section and the measuring section are plate-shaped components arranged parallel to the milled surface of the ingot.

[0011] Preferably, an assembly groove capable of accommodating the positioning member and the adjusting member is formed between the bottom of the positioning section and the milled surface of the ingot and the transition section.

[0012] Preferably, the positioning segment has a mounting hole, and the positioning segment, the adjusting member, and the positioning member are aligned and assembled by a mounting screw that passes through the mounting hole and the adjusting member in sequence and is threadedly connected to the positioning member.

[0013] Preferably, the transition section is a plate-shaped component arranged perpendicular to the milled surface of the ingot.

[0014] Preferably, both the free end of the positioning segment and the free end of the measuring segment have a chamfered structure.

[0015] Preferably, the positioning element is a magnetic base that is detachably connected to the positioning segment.

[0016] Preferably, the adjusting member is a shim that is fitted between the top surface of the positioning member and the bottom surface of the positioning section.

[0017] Preferably, the thickness of the gasket is 0.5mm to 5mm.

[0018] Preferably, the reference component is a one-piece molded steel component.

[0019] Compared to the aforementioned background technology, the milling cutter height measuring and adjusting device provided by this invention, during assembly, connection, and operation, selects an adjusting component of appropriate size according to the suitable specifications of the milling cutter to be processed, and aligns and assembles the positioning component and adjusting component with the reference component, ensuring that both the positioning component and adjusting component are aligned and connected to the bottom of the positioning section. Then, the positioning component is reliably arranged on the milling surface of the ingot, ensuring that the measuring section is adjusted to be aligned with the cutter head of the milling cutter to be processed. Then, the top surface of the measuring section is aligned and abuts against the bottom of the cutter head of the milling cutter to be processed, thus using the top surface of the measuring section as the measuring reference surface for measuring the height of the milling cutter. A feeler gauge is then used to measure the height between the cutter head and the measuring reference surface at this location, and the measurement result is compared with the height parameters set in the process. If the measured height data is consistent with the set data, no adjustment is required; if the measured height data is different from the set parameters, the height data between the cutter head and the measuring reference surface is adjusted to be consistent with the set parameters, thereby completing the current milling cutter head height measurement and adjustment process. The above operation process is then repeated to sequentially measure and adjust the height between the cutter head and the measuring reference surface of each milling cutter, ultimately adjusting the cutter heads of all milling cutters to the same height. This ensures the consistency of the milling machine's processing of the ingot surface and the product processing effect. The milling machine cutter height measurement and adjustment device uses the top surface of the measuring section as a measuring reference surface that matches and abuts the cutter head, ensuring the stability of the measuring surface of the cutter head height. This significantly improves the measurement accuracy of the cutter head height by feeler gauges and other measuring tools, as well as the corresponding adjustment accuracy of the cutter head. Furthermore, its height measurement data is accurate and reliable, and the corresponding height adjustment is accurate and efficient, thus fully guaranteeing the processing effect of the milling machine cutter on the ingot surface and optimizing the quality of the ingot processing products.

[0020] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the positioning section and the measuring section are plate-shaped components arranged parallel to the milling surface of the ingot. This plate-shaped component structure arranged parallel to the milling surface of the ingot can further optimize the fit between the positioning section and the measuring section and the milling surface of the ingot and the milling cutter head, ensuring that the milling cutter head can reliably fit and abut against the top measuring reference surface of the measuring section, and ensuring that the distance between the top measuring reference surface of the measuring section and the milling surface of the ingot is constant. This ensures that the fitting structure between the corresponding measuring reference surface and the milling cutter head meets the corresponding requirements for cutter head height measurement and adjustment operations, and optimizes the accuracy of height measurement and adjustment.

[0035] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 3 .

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the milling cutter height measuring and adjusting device provided by the present invention includes a positioning component 11 that is detached and assembled with the milling surface of the ingot and a reference component 12 that is coordinated with the milling cutter. The reference component 12 includes a positioning section 121, a transition section 122 and a measuring section 123 connected sequentially along its length direction.

[0037] The bottom surface of the positioning section 121 is parallel to the milled surface of the ingot, and the positioning component 11 is embedded between the positioning section 121 and the milled surface of the ingot. An adjusting component 13 is detachably installed between the positioning component 11 and the bottom surface of the positioning section 121 to adjust the distance between the positioning section 121 and the positioning component 11.

[0038] The top surface of the measuring section 123 is a measuring reference surface 124 that can contact and abut against the milling cutter, and the measuring reference surface 124 is parallel to the milling surface of the ingot.

[0039] During assembly, connection, and operation, an adjustment component 13 of appropriate size is selected according to the specifications of the milling cutter to be processed. The positioning component 11 and the adjustment component 13 are aligned and assembled with the reference component 12, so that the positioning component 11 and the adjustment component 13 are both aligned and connected to the bottom of the positioning section 121. Then, the positioning component 11 is reliably placed on the milling surface of the ingot, and the measuring section 123 is adjusted to be aligned with the cutter head of the milling cutter to be processed. Then, the top surface of the measuring section 123 is aligned and abutted against the bottom of the cutter head of the milling cutter to be processed. That is, the top surface of the measuring section 123 can be used as the measuring reference surface 124 for measuring the height of the milling cutter. Then, the height between the cutter head of the corresponding milling cutter and the measuring reference surface 124 is measured with a feeler gauge. The measurement result is then compared with the height parameter set in the process. If the measured height data is consistent with the set data, no adjustment is required. If the measured height data is different from the set parameter, the height data between the cutter head and the measuring reference surface 124 is adjusted to be consistent with the set parameter, thus completing the height measurement and adjustment process of the current milling cutter head.

[0040] Then, repeat the above operation process to sequentially measure and adjust the height between the cutter head of each milling cutter and the measuring reference surface 124, so that the cutter heads of each milling cutter are adjusted to the same height, thereby ensuring the consistency of the milling process of the ingot milling surface and the product processing effect of the subsequent milling machine.

[0041] The milling cutter height measuring and adjusting device uses the top surface of the measuring section 123 as the measuring reference surface 124 that is adapted to and abuts the milling cutter head. This changes the point-to-point contact structure used in the prior art for measuring the milling cutter head to a point-to-surface contact structure where the measuring reference surface 124 and the cutter head cooperate. This ensures the stability of the measuring surface of the milling cutter head height, significantly improves the measurement accuracy of the milling cutter head height by feeler gauges and other measuring tools, and the corresponding adjustment accuracy of the milling cutter head. Moreover, its height measurement data is accurate and reliable, and the corresponding height adjustment is accurate and efficient. This fully guarantees the machining effect of the milling cutter on the milling surface of the ingot and optimizes the machining quality of the ingot product.

[0042] Furthermore, both the positioning section 121 and the measuring section 123 are plate-shaped components arranged parallel to the milling surface of the ingot. This plate-shaped component structure, arranged parallel to the milling surface of the ingot, can further optimize the fit between the positioning section 121 and the measuring section 123 and the milling surface of the ingot and the milling cutter head, ensuring that the milling cutter head can reliably fit against the top measuring reference surface 124 of the measuring section 123, and ensuring that the distance between the top measuring reference surface 124 of the measuring section 123 and the milling surface of the ingot is constant. This ensures that the fitting structure between the corresponding measuring reference surface 124 and the milling cutter head meets the corresponding requirements for cutter head height measurement and adjustment operations, and optimizes the accuracy of height measurement and adjustment.

[0043] Accordingly, the transition section 122 is a plate-shaped component arranged perpendicular to the milling surface of the ingot. In this way, the reference component 12 as a whole is a plate structure that extends in a "Z" shape along its own length direction, thereby greatly optimizing the component structure of the reference component 12 itself, improving its assembly space utilization, and correspondingly improving its structural compatibility with the milling surface of the ingot and the milling cutter head.

[0044] Furthermore, both the free ends of the positioning section 121 and the free ends of the measuring section 123 have chamfered structures. In fact, the bent structural parts at the junctions between the transition section 122 and the positioning section 121, and between the transition section 122 and the measuring section 123, are usually equipped with chamfered structures to further optimize the overall stress distribution and structural strength of the reference component 12, making the reference component 12 more reliable and durable.

[0045] In practical applications, the positioning element 11 can be a magnetic base that is detachably connected to the positioning section 121. Generally, the magnetic base is an electromagnet assembly, and the activation of the entire magnetic attraction mechanism can be controlled by a switch. When the electromagnet assembly is energized and has magnetic attraction capability, the positioning element 11 is reliably attracted to the metal ingot. When the electromagnet assembly is de-energized, it loses its magnetic attraction capability, allowing the positioning element 11 to be easily removed from the ingot for storage, transportation, or other workstation use. This achieves a reliable connection and convenient disassembly and retrieval between the milling machine cutter height measurement and adjustment device and the ingot, thereby further improving the operational convenience and corresponding milling cutter height measurement and adjustment efficiency of the milling machine cutter height measurement and adjustment device.

[0046] Of course, the positioning component 11 can also be a functional device that can reliably connect to the ingot and facilitate easy assembly and disassembly via a chuck mechanism or a conventional magnetic device. Operators can flexibly select and adjust it according to actual working conditions. In principle, any device that can meet the actual application needs of the milling machine cutter height measurement and adjustment device is acceptable.

[0047] Specifically, an assembly groove 125 is formed between the bottom of the positioning section 121 and the milled surface of the ingot and the transition section 122, which can accommodate the positioning component 11 and the adjusting component 13. The assembly groove 125 can provide sufficient assembly space for the positioning component 11 and the adjusting component 13, and provide appropriate structural protection for the main structure of the adjusting component 13 and the positioning component 11, so as to avoid collisions or other non-working damage to the adjusting component 13 and the positioning component 11.

[0048] More specifically, the positioning section 121 has a mounting hole 126. The positioning section 121, the adjusting member 13, and the positioning member 11 are assembled in alignment by a mounting screw 14 that passes through the mounting hole 126 and the adjusting member 13 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the positioning member 11. The mounting screw 14 has a simple and reliable structure, and its corresponding threaded assembly structure is convenient and efficient to operate. It can not only ensure the assembly strength between the positioning section 121, the adjusting member 13, and the positioning member 11, but also further improve the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the milling cutter height measuring and adjusting device and reduce its operational difficulty.

[0049] On the other hand, the adjusting component 13 is a shim that is fitted between the top surface of the positioning component 11 and the bottom surface of the positioning section 121. During actual assembly and installation, according to the milling surface dimensions of the ingot and the specifications of the milling cutter head on the milling machine corresponding to the current working conditions, a shim of appropriate thickness is selected and assembled between the bottom of the positioning section 121 and the top of the positioning component 11. The shim is used to adjust the distance between the positioning section 121 and the positioning component 11 accordingly, thereby appropriately raising or lowering the overall assembly position of the reference component 12. This achieves the adaptation and adjustment of the overall height of the measuring section 123 relative to the milling surface of the ingot, and further adjusts the measuring reference surface 124 to a position that matches the milling cutter head that needs to be measured and adjusted. This ensures reliable contact between the measuring reference surface 124 and the milling cutter head, so that gauges and other measuring tools can measure the height of the milling cutter head and adjust the cutter head height as needed.

[0050] Based on this, considering the operational application requirements under most working conditions, the thickness of a single shim can be 0.5mm to 5mm, or the thickness of each shim can be uniformly 0.5mm or other sizes and specifications, so that in actual applications, different numbers of shims can be selected and stacked according to specific height adaptation requirements to meet the adaptation requirements between the milling cutter head and the measuring reference surface 124 under corresponding working conditions.

[0051] In actual operation, a pad or screw or other device that can achieve reciprocating lifting and lowering adjustment can be used to replace the above-mentioned pad as the specific application type of the adjusting component 13. However, considering the component structure adaptation effect and operation convenience, it is still advisable to use the pad described above as the adjusting component 13.

[0052] In addition, in actual assembly applications, the reference part 12 is a one-piece steel part that has undergone heat treatment to give it high structural strength and hardness, thereby meeting the requirements of high-intensity and frequent operation, improving the working condition tolerance of the milling cutter height measurement and adjustment device, and making it more durable.

[0053] In summary, the milling cutter height measuring and adjusting device provided in this invention, during assembly, connection, and operation, selects an adjusting component of appropriate size according to the suitable specifications of the milling cutter to be processed, and aligns and assembles the positioning component and adjusting component with the reference component, ensuring that both the positioning component and adjusting component are aligned and connected to the bottom of the positioning section. Then, the positioning component is reliably placed on the ingot milling surface, ensuring that the measuring section is adjusted to align with the cutter head of the milling cutter to be processed. The top surface of the measuring section is then aligned and abuts against the bottom of the cutter head, thus using the top surface of the measuring section as the measuring reference surface for measuring the milling cutter height. A feeler gauge is then used to measure the height between the cutter head and the measuring reference surface at this location. The measurement result is then compared with the height parameters set in the process. If the measured height data matches the set data, no adjustment is needed; if the measured height data differs from the set parameters, the height data between the cutter head and the measuring reference surface is adjusted to match the set parameters, thus completing the current milling cutter head height measurement and adjustment process. The above operation process is then repeated to sequentially measure and adjust the height between the cutter head and the measuring reference surface of each milling cutter, ultimately adjusting the cutter heads of all milling cutters to the same height. This ensures the consistency of the milling machine's processing of the ingot surface and the product processing effect. The milling machine cutter height measurement and adjustment device uses the top surface of the measuring section as a measuring reference surface that matches and abuts the cutter head, ensuring the stability of the measuring surface of the cutter head height. This significantly improves the measurement accuracy of the cutter head height by feeler gauges and other measuring tools, as well as the corresponding adjustment accuracy of the cutter head. Furthermore, its height measurement data is accurate and reliable, and the corresponding height adjustment is accurate and efficient, thus fully guaranteeing the processing effect of the milling machine cutter on the ingot surface and optimizing the quality of the ingot processing products.
