Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of numerical control machine tool maintenance, in particular to a numerical control machine tool maintenance robot. Background Art
[0002] CNC machine tools are one of the most widely used CNC machine tools at present. They are mainly used for cutting inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft parts or disk parts, inner and outer conical surfaces of arbitrary taper angles, complex rotating inner and outer curved surfaces, cylindrical and conical threads, etc., and can perform grooving, drilling, reaming, reaming and boring, etc. CNC machine tools automatically process the parts to be processed according to a pre-compiled processing program. We compile the processing route, process parameters, tool motion trajectory, displacement, cutting parameters and auxiliary functions of the parts into a processing program sheet according to the instruction code and program format specified by the CNC machine tool, and then record the contents of this program sheet on the control medium, and then input it into the CNC device of the CNC machine tool, thereby commanding the machine tool to process parts. The CNC machine tool maintenance robot is an intelligent equipment used for the maintenance of CNC machine tools, and is used for the repair and maintenance of CNC machine tools.
[0003] The prior art application number is: 201910612525.3, which is a CNC machine tool maintenance robot, including: a fixed base, a detection host computer, an adjustment robot arm and a maintenance detection head. A combined support frame is spirally fixed at the four corner positions of the bottom of the fixed base, and a push handle is connected to one side of the top of the fixed base. In this application, a laser displacement sensor is connected to the tail end of the maintenance detection head through a connecting frame. The laser displacement sensor can measure precise geometric measurements such as displacement, thickness, vibration, distance, and diameter. The laser displacement sensor can be used to detect the installation accuracy of the components after the maintenance and installation of the CNC machine tool, so that the CNC machine tool maintenance robot can not only realize the maintenance of the CNC machine tool, but also assist in the automatic detection of the CNC machine tool after maintenance. It does not need to be used alternately with other detection equipment for maintenance, which improves work efficiency and makes the CNC machine tool maintenance robot more complete.
[0004] However, the prior art still has the following deficiencies. First, the above-mentioned existing device is connected to a laser displacement sensor at the tail end of the maintenance detection head, so that the CNC machine tool maintenance robot can not only repair the CNC machine tool but also assist in automatic detection of the CNC machine tool after maintenance. However, when the above-mentioned device is in use, the maintenance work is performed by a single maintenance robot arm. When facing a changing production environment or complex tasks, the single robot arm often needs to be reprogrammed and adjusted to adapt to new work requirements. This reprogramming and adjustment process may be complicated and time-consuming, making it difficult for the robot arm to quickly adapt to a rapidly changing production line.
