Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of machine tool processing, in particular to a self-adaptive tool setting device, a tool setting machine tool and a tool setting method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of machining a workpiece, tool setting operation is one of the necessary links, that is, the relative position coordinates of the tool tip on the surface of the workpiece are determined. Especially in the process of machining micro-nano structure, the tool setting precision directly determines the machining quality of the micro-nano structure. At the same time, the tool for machining micro-nano structure is usually very sharp. When the tool setting depth is too large, not only the machining quality of the workpiece is seriously affected, but also the tool and the workpiece are easily damaged. Therefore, it is usually necessary to spend a long time to slowly complete the tool setting operation.

[0003] The existing technology usually adopts sound or force signal discrimination method and naked eye observation method to determine whether the tool contacts the surface of the workpiece, and then obtain the relative position coordinates of the tool on the surface of the workpiece. In the existing technology, the sound or force signal discrimination method is to determine whether the tool contacts the workpiece by the signal received by the sound or force sensor to determine the position coordinates when the tool contacts the workpiece. The naked eye observation method is to slowly feed the linear axis of the machine tool, so that the tool slowly approaches the workpiece, and then determine the position coordinates when the tool contacts the workpiece by observing whether the chip is generated.

[0004] In the process of machining a workpiece, the tool is fixed on the tool holder, and the tool holder is fixed on the linear axis of the machine tool. The fixed connection makes the tool-tool holder-machine tool linear axis form a rigid body structure. The tool setting depth is positively correlated with the contact force during tool setting. Since the structural rigidity is very high, the contact force during tool setting will not cause the bending deformation of the rigid body structure, nor will it cause the rotation of the rigid body structure. Therefore, the stress is concentrated on the most fragile tool tip part of the structure, which damages the tool tip and also damages the surface of the workpiece. The signal received by the sound or force sensor in the existing technology can only determine whether the tool contacts the workpiece. However, due to the system time delay and the complexity of the sound or force signal, the tool setting depth and the position coordinates when the tool tip initially contacts the workpiece cannot be accurately determined. When the tool setting depth is too large, the tool tip and the workpiece will be damaged. In the existing technology, the chip is generated by naked eye observation. The linear axis of the machine tool needs to be manually fed, and the feeding amount is very small each time, usually in the order of microns. Therefore, it is very time-consuming, and personnel with certain technical experience are needed to complete the operation. At the same time, the small chip also brings great challenges to the observation.

[0005] Therefore, people urgently need a self-adaptive tool setting device which can improve the protection effect of the tool, improve the tool setting efficiency and has high precision. SUMMARY
