Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of workpiece processing technology, and in particular to a coordinate system alignment device and alignment method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the field of mechanical manufacturing, CNC milling involves machine tool coordinate systems, programming coordinate systems, and machining coordinate systems. Setting the machining coordinate system is the process of establishing the positional relationship between the part and the machine tool coordinate system, enabling the CNC system to clearly define the part's position so that the program can control the CNC machine tool spindle to accurately machine the part. Therefore, the accuracy of the machining coordinate system setting directly affects the machining accuracy of the part; incorrect coordinate system settings can lead to part scrap and machine collisions. The clamping and adjustment process before machining requires a significant amount of time to achieve the correct positioning of the workpiece, and the accuracy of this adjustment depends on the operator's skill and proficiency. If it is necessary to adjust to the state of a previous clamping during clamping, an experienced operator is required to use tapping to reposition it to the previous clamping state. This requires a high level of worker skill and is difficult to achieve in mass production. Existing technologies also use specialized fixtures for adjustment and positioning. However, a set of fixtures must be designed and manufactured for each type of workpiece, resulting in high costs and long lead times.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN117921066A discloses a workpiece coordinate system setting, measuring device, and method, including a dial indicator holder fixing device, the top of which can be mounted on the machine tool spindle via a machine tool tool holder; left and right dial indicator rod adjusting devices, symmetrically rotatably connected to both sides of the dial indicator holder fixing device; and left and right workpiece measuring devices, respectively driven and connected to the left and right dial indicator rod adjusting devices, and capable of sliding on the dial indicator holder fixing device under the drive of the left and right dial indicator rod adjusting devices. The left and right workpiece measuring devices are arranged on both sides of the dial indicator holder fixing device and can contact two symmetrical measuring surfaces of the workpiece, used to measure the length or width of the two symmetrical measuring surfaces of the workpiece. This invention improves the accuracy of workpiece machining coordinate system setting and reduces machining errors and the probability of machine collisions caused by calculation errors during coordinate system setting. This patent achieves independent position adjustment of the left and right workpiece measuring devices through two symmetrical dial indicator rod adjusting devices. If there are machining errors or installation errors in the two sets of dial indicator rod adjusting devices, the set coordinate system will also produce errors. Furthermore, the two sets of dial indicator adjustment devices are connected to the dial indicator holder clamping shaft located in the center position. The left and right workpiece measuring devices can only be moved from both ends of the dial indicator holder fixing device to the middle, and cannot be adjusted to any position on the dial indicator holder fixing device.

[0061] Example 1
[0062] During CNC milling, when the workpiece shifts, a coordinate system alignment device is needed to align the machine tool spindle. (See also...) Figures 1-5As shown in the embodiment of this application, a coordinate system alignment device includes a dial indicator holder 1, the top of which can be mounted on a machine tool spindle; a drive device 2, which is disposed at the first end of the dial indicator holder 1; left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B connected to the second end of the dial indicator holder 1 and connected to or separated from the drive device 2. When connected to the drive device 2, they slide simultaneously or individually on the dial indicator holder 1 under the drive of the drive device 2; the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B contact the measuring surface of the workpiece 4 to measure the position data of the workpiece 4; a control device is electrically connected to the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B and the machine tool spindle, including a calculation module and a control module; the calculation module is used to calculate the offset angle of the workpiece 4 based on the position data measured by the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B; the control module is used to control the machine tool spindle to perform alignment based on the offset angle. Further, the position data includes the pressure and scale values measured by the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B at two positions on the workpiece 4, respectively.
[0063] When alignment is required, select a workpiece coordinate system alignment device with an appropriate range based on the size of workpiece 4. Mount the top of the workpiece coordinate system alignment device's mounting bracket 1 onto the machine tool spindle, ensuring that the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B are in contact with the measuring surfaces of workpiece 4. Connect the left measuring device 3A to the drive device 2. The drive device 2 then drives the left measuring device 3A to slide on the mounting bracket 1 to the first position on the workpiece that needs to be measured, after which the left measuring device 3A is separated from the drive device 2. Next, connect the right measuring device 3B to the drive device 2. The drive device 2 then drives the right measuring device 3B to slide on the mounting bracket 1 to the second position on the workpiece that needs to be measured, after which the right measuring device 3B is separated from the drive device 2.
[0064] Then, the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B simultaneously measure the pressure A1 and A2 and the scale values B1 and B2 of the workpiece 4 at two positions, respectively, and transmit the test data to the control device. The calculation module in the control device calculates the offset angle α of the workpiece 4 according to the built-in trigonometric function formula: α=arctan[(A2-A1) / (B2-B1)]. The alignment module of the control device controls the movement angle of the machine tool spindle for alignment based on the offset angle of the workpiece 4. It is worth mentioning that if the workpiece 4 itself is a curved surface, the calculated offset angle is compared with the digital model angles of the two positions of the workpiece itself, and the machine tool spindle is controlled for alignment based on the absolute offset angle after comparison.
[0065] In the above scheme, when workpiece 4 shifts, regardless of the machine tool spindle axis's position on the workpiece, the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B can be driven independently by the drive device 2 to slide to the first and second positions of the workpiece 4 relative to its shift for measurement. One drive device replaces two sets of dial indicator adjustment devices, improving the accuracy of coordinate system alignment. Simultaneously, when using this device, the left and right measuring devices perform measurements simultaneously, avoiding the problem of inconsistent reference values between the first and second measurements if the device moves horizontally in two measurement methods, which could easily lead to measurement errors.
[0066] Furthermore, the dial indicator holder fixing device 1 includes a dial indicator holder clamping shaft 11 and a dial indicator holder device body 12; the upper end of the dial indicator holder clamping shaft 11 is connected to the machine tool spindle, and the lower end is fixed on the dial indicator holder device body 12; the dial indicator holder device body 12 is provided with a slide groove 14 through the second end side wall for the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B to slide, and a dial indicator scale is provided at the lower end of the dial indicator holder device body 12.
[0067] The left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B are slidable on the dial indicator holder 1 via the slide groove 14, thereby enabling the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B to measure at different positions on the workpiece 4. The sliding direction of the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B is defined as the X-axis direction of the workpiece 4 coordinate system, and the dial indicator scale is used to indicate the position information of the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B in the X-axis direction.
[0068] Furthermore, the dial indicator holder fixing device 1 also includes a spindle display screen 13; the spindle display screen 13 is fixed on the dial indicator holder clamping shaft 11 and electrically connected to the control device. The control device transmits the calculated workpiece offset angle to the spindle display screen 13, which is used to display the offset angle of the workpiece 4.
[0069] Furthermore, the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B have the same structure, each including: a slider 31, which is slidably connected to the main body 12 of the instrument frame device via a lead screw 32; the lead screw 32 passes through both ends of the slider 31 and moves within the slider 31 in the through direction; the first end of the lead screw 32 is connected to a sliding member 33 that is either connected to or separated from the driving device 2; the second end of the lead screw 32 extends out of the slide groove 14 and is slidably connected within the slide groove 14; the second end of the lead screw 32 is fitted with a locking ring 34 that locks the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B; an instrument rod 35, connected to the lower end of the slider 31; a dial indicator 36, connected to the lower end of the instrument rod 35 via a universal ball joint 37; the measuring needle of the dial indicator 36 contacts the measuring surface of the workpiece and is electrically connected to the control device; and a dial indicator position display screen 38, fixed on the instrument rod 35, used to display the reading of the dial indicator 36 on the scale of the instrument frame and electrically connected to the control device.
[0070] The second end of the lead screw 32 slides within the slide groove 14, causing the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B to slide within the slide groove 14. The second end of the lead screw 32 has an external thread, and the locking ring 34 has an internal thread. The locking ring 34 is screwed from the second end of the main body 12 of the meter holder towards the first end, locking the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B onto the meter holder 12. During the locking process, when the locking ring 34 contacts the outer surface of the second end of the main body 12 of the meter holder, the locking ring 34 continues to be screwed in, keeping the main body 12 stationary. Under the action of the thread, the lead screw 32 moves from the first end of the main body 12 of the meter holder towards the second end, causing the sliding member 33 at the first end of the lead screw 32 to separate from the driving device 2. Therefore, when the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B are in the locked state, the driving device 2 will not be able to drive the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B to slide within the main body 12 of the meter holder. With the above scheme, when the left measuring device 3A needs to be slid independently, the right measuring device 3B can be locked; when the right measuring device 3B needs to be slid independently, the left measuring device 3A can be locked, thus enabling the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B to slide simultaneously or independently.
[0071] The dial indicator 36's measuring probe contacts the workpiece's measuring surface to measure the pressure of workpiece 4 at two positions. The measuring angle of the dial indicator 36 can be adjusted via the universal ball joint 37. The dial indicator display 38 reads and displays the readings of the dial indicator 36 on the scale of the indicator stand. The dial indicator 36 and the dial indicator display 38 transmit the measured pressure data and scale data to the control device, respectively, for the control device to calculate the workpiece's offset angle. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 The sliding directions of the left and right measuring devices 3A and 3B, which are also the length direction of workpiece 4, are defined as the X-axis direction of the workpiece coordinate system; the width direction of workpiece 4 is defined as the Y-axis direction; and the height direction of workpiece 4 is defined as the Z-axis direction. The difference in scale readings between the two positions represents the workpiece's movement along the X-axis. Figure 1 The measuring needle of dial indicator 36 contacts the upper surface of workpiece 4. The pressure difference between the two positions is the data of the workpiece's offset in the Z-axis direction, which is used to measure the offset angle of the workpiece in the Z-axis direction. Figure 2 Adjust the angle of the dial indicator by using the universal ball 37 to make the measuring needle contact the side of the workpiece 4. The pressure difference between the two positions is the data of the workpiece's offset in the Y-axis direction, which is used to measure the offset angle of the workpiece in the Y-axis direction.
[0072] Furthermore, the driving device 2 includes a gear 21, a motor 22 and a screw 23 respectively connected to the gear 21; the screw 23 is rotatably connected to the first end of the main body 12 of the watch holder device, and cooperates with the sliding member 33 to drive the slider 31 to move in the slide groove 14; the gear 21 meshes with the screw 23 and rotates under the drive of the motor 22.
[0073] In this embodiment, the screw 23 is provided with external teeth, and the sliding member 33 is provided with vertical teeth that mesh with or separate from the external teeth. Both the motor 22 and the gear 21 are located outside the main body 12 of the meter holder device. One end of the screw 23 extends outside the main body 12 of the meter holder device and meshes with the gear, facilitating operation on the motor 22. When the left measuring device 3A or the right measuring device 3B is in a relaxed state on the main body 12 of the meter holder device, the vertical teeth on the sliding member 33 mesh with the external teeth on the screw 23, activating the motor 22. The motor 22 drives the gear 21 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 21 drives the screw 23 to rotate on the main body 12 of the meter holder device. The rotation of the screw 23 causes the sliding member 33, the lead screw 32, and the slider 31 to slide within the main body 12 of the meter holder device.

[0082] S106, left and right dial gauges 36 simultaneously measure the pressure at two positions of workpiece 4, denoted as A1 and A2, and transmit the pressure data to the control device; left and right dial gauge position display screens 38 simultaneously display the scale readings at two positions of workpiece, denoted as B1 and B2, and transmit the scale readings to the control device.
[0083] S2. Calculate the workpiece offset angle based on the position data; specifically including:
[0084] The calculation module of the control device calculates the offset angle α of workpiece 4 according to the trigonometric function formula: α=arctan[(A2-A1) / (B2-B1)], and displays the offset angle on the spindle display screen 13.
[0085] S3. Align the workpiece coordinate system according to the offset angle; specifically, the alignment module of the control device controls the machine tool spindle to move by the same angle according to the offset angle to align the machining coordinate system.
