[0041] A tool changing warning mechanism for a five-axis CNC machining center includes a tool changing mechanism for a five-axis CNC machining center, and also includes a multi-sensor fusion module and a five-axis CNC machining center machine tool. The multi-sensor fusion module includes a vibration sensor, a temperature sensor and a pressure feedback unit, the vibration sensor is arranged inside a tool placement groove 205, the temperature sensor is embedded in a servo motor 104 and a ladder-shaped clamping block 305, and the pressure feedback unit is arranged inside the five-axis CNC machining center machine tool.
[0042] The vibration sensor is used to monitor the abnormal vibration spectrum during the tool changing process, the temperature sensor is used to detect the risk of overheating, and the pressure feedback unit is used to collect the clamping force data of the tool 5 in real time and compare it with the preset threshold to determine the looseness of the tool.
[0043] When the tool changing and tool changing warning mechanism for a five-axis CNC machining center is used, one of the tool changing rack structures 2 is first identified as the main tool changing module, and the other tool changing rack structure 2 is made the auxiliary tool changing module, and different types of tools 5 are placed in the tool placement slot 205 of each tool changing rack structure 2. When tool changing is required, two modes can be selected:
[0044] Tool replacement mode: the main tool change module first rotates the tool 5 to be replaced to the position of the tool mounting frame 402 close to it, and the auxiliary tool change module rotates the tool 5 of the same type to be replaced to the position of the tool mounting frame 402 close to it, and the driving component 3 moves the tool 5 of the main tool change module to the inside of the tool mounting frame 402, and then the tool feeding turntable 401 drives the tool mounting frame 402 to rotate, so that the tool 5 of the main tool change module is rotated to the inside of the five-axis CNC machining center, so that it can replace the tool 5. At the same time, the tool 5 of the auxiliary tool change module is ready for tool change at any time, avoiding the need to wait for the time to prepare to place and replace the tool 5 when the tool 5 of the main tool change module is damaged, which can speed up the tool change time;
[0045] Tool pre-delivery mode: the main tool change module first rotates the tool 5 that needs to be replaced to the position of the tool mounting frame 402 close to it, and the auxiliary tool change module rotates the tool 5 required for subsequent processing to the position of the tool mounting frame 402 close to it, and moves the tool 5 of the main tool change module to the inside of the tool mounting frame 402 through the driving component 3, and then the tool feeding turntable 401 drives the tool mounting frame 402 to rotate, so that the tool 5 of the main tool change module rotates to the inside of the five-axis CNC machining center to replace the tool 5. When the tool 5 of the main tool change module completes the processing task, it directly replaces the tool 5 of the auxiliary tool change module. At the same time, the main tool change module moves the tool 5 that is required to be used subsequently to the inside of the tool mounting frame 402, thereby realizing the pre-selection and rapid replacement of the tool 5, avoiding the need to re-operate the tool holder structure 2 to select the subsequent tool 5 after each tool 5 processing is completed, thereby reducing the waiting time and speeding up the processing speed;
[0046] When the tool 5 is moved by the driving assembly 3, the electric push rod 202 can be used to drive the push rod 203 to be pushed out, thereby driving the connecting plate 302 and the driving plate 301 to descend. At this time, the driving plate 301 will drive the tool 5 to synchronously descend to the position of the tool mounting bracket 402. At the same time, the tool feeding rotating plate 401 rotates the tool mounting bracket 402 to make the tool mounting bracket 402 rotate to the position of the driving plate 301. At this time, the tool inner clamping plate 404 will first touch the inner surface of the tool outer groove 6, thereby driving the tool outer clamping plate 403 to the tool mounting bracket 402. The tool 5 is moved from the tool placement slot 205 to the tool mounting bracket 402, thereby improving the tool changing speed of the device and avoiding multiple collisions of the tool 5 during tool changing, thereby avoiding the wear of the tool 5.
[0047] When the ladder-shaped clamping block 305 is retracted, the gas inside the two-way cylinder 307 is first extracted from the air hole at the top of the driving plate 301, so that the two-way cylinder 307 drives the internal piston rod 308 to retract. At this time, the piston rod 308 will drive the push plate 309 to retract, so that the connecting buckle 310 is retracted to the inside of the telescopic groove 311, and then the connecting buckle 310 is no longer stuck in the inside of the anti-drop ring groove 7. At this time, the electromagnet 304 can be energized. After the electromagnet 304 is energized, it will be magnetized, so that the ladder-shaped clamping block 305 is pulled back to the inside of the spring groove 303, so that the ladder-shaped clamping block 305 is no longer stuck in the inside of the tool outer groove 6. At this time, the tool 5 no longer blocks the driving plate 301, and the driving plate 301 can be pulled upward by directly retracting the push rod 203 through the electric push rod 202.
[0048] When changing the tool, the status of the tool 5 and the servo motor 104 is monitored through the multi-sensor fusion module. The vibration sensor is used to monitor the abnormal vibration spectrum during the tool change process. The temperature sensor is used to detect the risk of overheating. The pressure feedback unit is used to collect the clamping force data of the tool 5 in real time and compare it with the preset threshold to determine the looseness of the tool. The status of the tool 5 and the servo motor 104 is divided into two levels of warning status:
[0049] Level 1 warning status: When the multi-sensor fusion module detects an abnormal device status, it will alarm and prompt the staff to check the device;
[0050] Secondary warning status: When the multi-sensor fusion module detects an abnormal equipment status, it shuts down and prompts the staff to check the device.
[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
