[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Embodiment 1:

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a device and method for offline detection of a tool setting instrument include:

[0039] Installation platform 1;

[0040] A mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the mounting platform 1, and a mounting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the surface of the mounting plate 2;

[0041] A servo motor 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 3, a driving rod 5 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 4, a lead screw 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the driving rod 5, and the bottom end of the lead screw 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting platform 1, a threaded sleeve 7 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 6, a fixed plate 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded sleeve 7, a tool simulator 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed plate 8, a grating ruler 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the mounting platform 1 close to the side of the mounting plate 2, an origin sensor 25 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the grating ruler 10, limit sensors 26 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the grating ruler 10, sliding blocks 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the back side of the fixed plate 8, positioning rails 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the mounting plate 2, and the surface of the sliding block 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning rails 19.

[0042] When in use, the mounting platform 1 serves as the basic supporting structure of the entire device, carrying all other components. The mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting platform 1, providing a stable mounting position for the mounting frame 3. The servo motor 4 fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 3 is the core of the entire drive system. When the servo motor 4 is powered on, the servo motor 4 drives the driving rod 5 to rotate. The bottom end of the driving rod 5 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 6, so that the lead screw 6 can rotate under the drive of the servo motor 4. The surface of the lead screw 6 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 7. Therefore, when the lead screw 6 rotates, the threaded sleeve 7 will move in the axial direction of the lead screw 6, and the fixed plate 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded sleeve 7 will move accordingly. The tool simulator 9 installed on the fixed plate 8 simulates the tool in actual processing. Through the movement of the tool simulator 9, the motion trajectory of the tool during the processing process can be simulated. In order to ensure the stability of the tool simulator 9 during movement, sliding plates are fixedly connected on both sides of the back side of the fixed plate 8. The movable blocks 18 slide in the positioning rails 19 on both sides of the surface of the mounting plate 2, thereby realizing the precise guidance and limitation of the moving trajectory of the tool simulator 9, and a grating ruler 10 is also arranged on the mounting platform 1, which is used to accurately measure the moving distance of the tool simulator 9 to ensure the accuracy of the detection. The output signal of the grating ruler 10 can be received and processed by the subsequent control system, which not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the detection, but also reduces the difficulty and error rate of manual operation. The origin sensor 25 plays an important role in marking the starting position in the grating ruler 10. When the grating ruler moves to the origin position, the origin sensor will trigger a corresponding signal. This signal is usually used to calibrate or reset the displacement measurement of the system. The limit sensor 26 is used to detect the moving range of the grating ruler to prevent it from exceeding the predetermined stroke. When the grating ruler approaches or reaches its physical limit, the limit sensor will trigger an alarm or protection mechanism to prevent damage or accidents caused by excessive movement.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the top of the mounting platform 1 is fixedly connected with a lap plate 11, the top of the lap plate 11 is plugged with a placement plate 12, the bottom of the placement plate 12 is fixedly connected with a pressure sensor 13, and the bottom of the pressure sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the lap plate 11, the top of the mounting platform 1 is fixedly connected with three fixed sleeves 14 on the surface close to the lap plate 11, the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 14 is fixedly connected with an electric telescopic rod 15, the front end of the electric telescopic rod 15 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 16, the surface of the connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected with an extrusion frame 17, and the surface of the extrusion frame 17 is plugged with the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 14.

[0045] When in use, the lap plate 11 provides a stable supporting platform for the placement plate 12, so that the placement plate 12 can be firmly installed on the installation platform 1, thereby ensuring that the workpiece placed on the placement plate 12 will not shake or move. The placement plate 12 directly carries the workpiece to be tested, and its surface is flat and designed with suitable dimensions to facilitate accurate positioning of the workpiece. The pressure sensor 13 is arranged between the bottom of the placement plate 12 and the inner bottom wall of the lap plate 11. When the workpiece is placed on the placement plate 12, the pressure sensor 13 can sense and measure the pressure generated by the workpiece on the placement plate 12 in real time, thereby indirectly reflecting the stability and weight information of the workpiece placement. The fixed sleeve frame 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation platform 1, providing an installation basis for the electric telescopic rod 15. The electric telescopic rod 15 is a driving device, and its front end is connected to the extrusion frame 17 through the connecting plate 16. When the workpiece needs to be fixed, the electric telescopic rod 15 is started to push the connecting plate 16 and the extrusion frame 17 forward until the extrusion frame 17 is tightly fitted to the surface of the workpiece. The design of the extrusion frame 17 has a certain elasticity and adaptability, and can adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes to ensure that the workpiece is firmly clamped to prevent movement or tilting during the detection process. At the same time, by adjusting the extension and contraction amount of the electric telescopic rod 15, the clamping force of the extrusion frame 17 on the workpiece can be accurately controlled to avoid damage to the workpiece due to over-tight clamping or loosening of the workpiece due to over-loose clamping, which not only improves the stability and reliability of workpiece fixation, but also ensures the accuracy and precision of subsequent detection.

[0048] When in use, the control switch 20, as the startup and operation core of the entire system, can conveniently control the start and stop of each component to ensure the orderly progress of the detection process. The HMI panel unit 21 provides an intuitive operation interface, through which the operator can input detection parameters, monitor the detection progress and view the detection results, which greatly improves the convenience of operation and the friendliness of human-computer interaction. The PLC control unit 22, as the control center of the entire system, receives instructions from the HMI panel unit 21, and controls the precise movements of actuators such as the servo motor 4 and the electric telescopic rod 15, thereby realizing precise control of the detection process. The high-precision analog module 23 is responsible for converting the analog signals collected by sensors such as the grating ruler 10 and the pressure sensor 13 into digital signals, and transmitting them to the PLC control unit 22 for processing, thereby realizing the precise measurement of key parameters such as the relative position and pressure between the tool simulator 9 and the tool setting instrument to be detected. Finally, the printer 24 can automatically print out the detection report according to the processing results of the PLC control unit 22, which is convenient for the operator to record and analyze the detection results, which not only improves the automation level of the offline detection tool setting instrument, but also ensures the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0049] Embodiment 4:

[0050] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a method for offline detection of a tool setting instrument comprises the following steps:

The PLC reads the grating ruler position data inside the driver. In order to quantify the performance of the tool setting instrument, a comprehensive performance evaluation index L is introduced, and its calculation formula is as follows:

[0055]

[0056] Where: N is the number of repeated tool setting (N ≥ 100), P i is the pressure data during the i-th tool setting, P max A is the maximum pressure value that the tool setting instrument can withstand. i is the position accuracy data of the i-th tool setting (obtained through grating ruler feedback), A ref is the reference position accuracy value, which is used for normalization processing. λ is the temperature influence coefficient, which indicates the influence of temperature change on position accuracy. i is the ambient temperature during the i-th tool setting;

[0057] Pressure factor: Pressure data P i With the maximum pressure value P max The ratio of represents the relative magnitude of pressure, that is, The larger the ratio is, the closer the pressure during tool setting is to the maximum pressure, and the better the performance of the tool setting instrument may be (but it may also exceed the tolerance range and cause damage).

[0058] Position accuracy factor: Position accuracy number A i With reference position accuracy value A ref The ratio of represents the relative size of the position accuracy, that is, The closer this ratio is to 1, the higher the tool positioning accuracy is.

[0059] Temperature influence factor: Temperature changes may cause thermal elongation of the screw, thus affecting the position accuracy of the tool. Therefore, the temperature influence coefficient λ and the ambient temperature T are introduced. i , through the exponential function To represent the effect of temperature on position accuracy. When the temperature increases, the exponential function value decreases, reflecting the negative impact of temperature on performance.

[0060] Comprehensive performance evaluation index: Multiply the above three factors and average the number of repeated tool setting to obtain the comprehensive performance evaluation index L. This index takes into account the effects of pressure, position accuracy and temperature, and can more comprehensively evaluate the performance of the tool setting instrument.

The design of the extrusion frame 17 has certain elasticity and adaptability, and can adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, ensuring that the workpiece is firmly clamped to prevent movement or tilting during the detection process. At the same time, by adjusting the extension amount of the electric telescopic rod 15, The clamping force of the extrusion frame 17 on the workpiece is accurately controlled to avoid damage to the workpiece due to over-tight clamping or loosening of the workpiece due to over-loose clamping. The control switch 20, as the startup and operation core of the entire system, can conveniently control the start and stop of each component to ensure the orderly progress of the detection process. The HMI panel unit 21 provides an intuitive operation interface, through which the operator can input detection parameters, monitor the detection progress and view the detection results, which greatly improves the convenience of operation and the friendliness of human-computer interaction. The PLC control unit 22, as the control center of the entire system, receives the information from the HMI panel unit 21.

Associate the electronic control platform with the tool setting instrument platform, install the tool simulator, and place the tool setting instrument to be tested on the testing platform and fix it accurately through the positioning mechanism; S2. Start the electronic control platform, set the detection parameters through the HMI panel unit, and establish the reference coordinate point for the first time. The detection parameters include the measurement range, the measurement accuracy error range, the pressure range requirement, the number of repeated tool setting, the tool setting feed speed, and the rapid positioning speed; S3, start the detection process through the HMI panel unit control. After receiving the command, the PLC control unit controls the servo driver to drive the servo motor, driving the tool simulator to perform tool setting. At the same time, the grating ruler feeds back the position data of the tool simulator in real time, and the pressure sensor collects the pressure data during the tool setting process in real time; S4, the high-precision analog module extracts the analog signal of the pressure sensor and converts it into a digital signal and transmits it to the PLC control unit for processing and analysis.

S5. After the detection is completed, the PLC control unit transmits the detection results (including the comprehensive performance evaluation index L) to the HMI panel unit for display, and controls the printer to print the detection report through the HMI panel unit.
