Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chain type tool magazines, and in particular to a chain replacement device for maintaining a chain type tool magazine. Background Art

[0002] In the field of modern mechanical processing, chain-type tool magazines are widely used in various types of machining centers. They undertake the key task of quickly and accurately replacing tools, and play an indispensable role in improving machining efficiency and quality. However, with the long-term and frequent use of the tool magazine, the chain, as a core transmission component, will inevitably suffer from problems such as wear and fatigue, which will affect the normal operation of the tool magazine. Once the chain fails, it needs to be replaced and maintained in time.

[0003] The traditional chain replacement process usually relies on manual operation, requiring maintenance personnel to manually install and debug the new chain and the sprocket of the tool magazine with rich experience and professional skills. This process is not only cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has extremely high technical requirements for maintenance personnel. During the installation process, it is difficult to accurately ensure the phase matching of the chain and the sprocket and the uniformity of the chain tension, which can easily cause the chain to jam and skip teeth in subsequent operation, further affecting the service life and processing accuracy of the tool magazine. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a device that can efficiently, accurately and intelligently replace the chain. Summary of the invention

Then, install the chain to be replaced on the two sprockets on the device in advance, and then start the device. The displacement acquisition module feeds back the device position in real time. Then the PLC calculates the deviation from the target coordinates. Then the PID controller controls the spatial motion mechanism and adjusts the servo motor speed at the same time. Then the phase difference acquisition module captures the phase of the tool magazine sprocket and calculates the phase difference Δθ.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a chain replacement device for chain tool magazine maintenance, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. A chain replacement device for chain tool magazine maintenance. This device uses a displacement acquisition module to provide real-time feedback on the device position, cooperates with PLC to calculate the deviation from the target coordinates, and uses a PID controller to accurately control the spatial motion mechanism to adjust the servo motor speed, so that the device can quickly and accurately move to the vicinity of the chain tool magazine and remain parallel. In the precision alignment stage, the phase difference acquisition module captures the phase of the tool magazine sprocket, the image processor calculates the phase difference Δθ, and the angle adjustment mechanism can fine-tune the device angle to ensure that the two sets of sprocket positions on the device and the chain tool magazine are accurately matched. This series of automated positioning and alignment operations greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of chain replacement, greatly shortens the replacement time compared to traditional manual operations, and can effectively avoid subsequent operation problems caused by installation errors.

[0026] 2. A chain replacement device for chain-type tool magazine maintenance. The push-out mechanism uses multiple electric push rods distributed around the chain path. Under the command of the control module, the output shaft of the electric push rod pushes the chain link to push the entire chain downward smoothly. At the same time, the thrust acquisition module monitors the thrust in real time, and the fuzzy controller dynamically adjusts the pressure of the electric push rod according to the monitoring data to ensure that the chain is evenly stressed during the process of loading into the sprocket, avoiding damage to the chain and sprocket due to excessive or insufficient thrust, thereby improving the reliability and stability of chain installation.

[0027] 3. A chain replacement device for chain-type tool magazine maintenance, the control module has a complete fault diagnosis logic. In terms of jam detection, when the thrust F ≥ 250N and the displacement ΔL ≤ 1mm for 200ms, it automatically performs a reverse retreat of 5mm and tries again, effectively preventing equipment damage caused by jamming. For misalignment warning, when the phase difference Δθ ≥ 0.5°, three levels of alarms will be triggered in sequence, from sound and light prompts to speed reduction and then to emergency stop, to promptly remind the operator to take corresponding measures to avoid serious failures caused by misalignment of the chain and sprocket. In wear monitoring, the chain wear coefficient is calculated according to the formula, and maintenance is prompted when λ ≥ 1.2%, which is convenient for operators to grasp the wear condition of the chain in time, arrange maintenance work in advance, extend the service life of the chain, and ensure the stable operation of the tool magazine.

[0028] 4. A chain replacement device for chain-type tool magazine maintenance, a positioning plate fixedly mounted on the shaft column, the edge of which covers the sprocket tooth gap. When the chain is installed into the device sprocket, it is only necessary to make the chain links contact the positioning plate to ensure the accurate installation position of the chain, which greatly simplifies the chain pre-installation process and reduces the technical difficulty and work intensity of the operator.
