Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of five-axis tool setting technology, and more specifically, to a wireless five-axis tool setting device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] A five-axis tool setter is a precision measuring tool used in CNC machine tools (such as machining centers and milling machines). Its main function is to quickly and accurately measure the length, diameter, and spatial orientation of the tool (such as angular deviation), thereby enabling precise setting of tool setting parameters and ensuring machining accuracy.

[0003] Currently, existing five-axis tool setters, during tool detection, suffer from limitations due to the limited leverage applied to small tools, making it difficult to quickly reach the threshold trigger signal. By the time the trigger signal is triggered, the tool has already moved a significant distance, resulting in inaccurate position coordinates and substantial errors in the detection results. Furthermore, if the overall threshold of the tool setter is too low, while it can detect small tools, it is prone to false triggers due to vibrations and impacts when detecting larger tools. For example, a slight bump during rapid movement of a large tool might be misinterpreted as "contact," leading to significant errors in the detection results. Therefore, a wireless five-axis tool setter and its usage method are urgently needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, a battery compartment is fixedly connected to one end of the housing, a battery pack is fixedly connected inside the battery compartment, a circuit board is fixedly connected to one inner wall of the housing, and a WIFI module is provided on the circuit board.

[0008] Preferably, the first triggering component includes an annular plate, and the inner circumferential wall of the annular plate is fixedly connected with second rolling seats that are evenly distributed in a circle. The inner circumferential wall of the second rolling seat is connected to a first ball, and the outer circumferential wall of the first ball contacts the outer circumferential wall of the sliding column. The number of second rolling seats is three.

[0009] Preferably, the second triggering component includes a fixed ring plate sleeved on the outer wall of the detection column. An arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixed ring plate. A first rolling seat is fixedly connected to one end of the arc-shaped plate away from the fixed ring plate. A second ball is tumblingly connected inside the first rolling seat. The first rolling seat and the second rolling seat are staggered. A gap is formed between the two second rolling seats to facilitate the lateral movement of the first rolling seat.

[0010] Preferably, the first ball is smaller than the second ball, and the outer circumferential wall of the second ball is provided with annular grooves that are evenly spaced and distributed in a circular pattern.

[0011] Preferably, a first gear disk is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the first rotating column, a second gear disk meshes with the outer circumference of the first gear disk, a second rotating column is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the second gear disk, a protective shell is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the housing, the second rotating column is rotatably connected to the protective shell, a second helical gear is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the second rotating column, and a first helical gear meshes with the outer circumference of the second helical gear.

[0012] Preferably, the displacement assembly includes a bidirectional lead screw fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the first helical gear.

[0013] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected to one inner wall of the housing, and a guide block is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential wall of the fixed ring plate. One end of the guide rod passes through the guide block and the interior of the ring plate.

[0014] The method of using the five-axis tool setter, applied to the five-axis tool setter described in the above embodiments, is characterized by including the following steps: Step 1: According to the specifications of the tool to be tested, adjust the probe rod extension length by rotating the block, and switch to the corresponding trigger component using the displacement component; Step 2: Start the equipment and slowly move the cutter toward the probe head until it contacts the probe head and pushes the detection column to compress the spring, triggering the corresponding component to send a signal. Record the cutter position coordinates at this time. Step 3: The detection data is transmitted to the controller via the WIFI module, and the system automatically calculates the tool parameters and updates the tool compensation value; Step 4: After compensation is completed, the tool is reset, and the tool setter returns to its initial state under the action of the spring, ready for the next inspection.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The wireless five-way tool setter and its usage method provided by this invention, through the setting of a first trigger component, when detecting small-sized tools, the tool first descends and contacts the probe head. When the tool contacts the probe head, it pushes the probe rod, the fixed cylinder, and the detection column to move, causing the detection column to compress the spring. At the same time, the fixed column and the sliding column on the detection column are displaced accordingly. At this time, the first trigger component inside the housing contacts the sliding column through the first ball. The first ball is small in size and has a smooth surface, which is suitable for detecting small tools. It can reduce trigger resistance and reduce errors caused by tool displacement overshoot. At the same time, when detecting small-sized tools, the extension of the probe rod from the fixed cylinder reaches its maximum. At this time, the leverage effect transmitted to the detection column through the probe head and the probe rod reaches its maximum. This can amplify the limited leverage force applied by the small tool through the maximized leverage effect, making it easier for the force of the sliding column on the first ball to reach the trigger threshold. This ensures that the first trigger component responds quickly and sends out a signal, realizing the accurate detection of micro tools.

[0016] The wireless five-axis tool setting instrument and its usage method provided by this invention, through the setting of the lifting component, when it is necessary to inspect a larger tool, the operator first rotates the rotating block, which drives the first rotating column and the threaded rod to rotate together. At this time, the probe rod will descend into the interior of the fixed cylinder, thereby shortening the exposed length of the probe rod and enhancing its overall rigidity to prevent breakage during the inspection of larger tools. Moreover, the cross-sections of the probe rod and the fixed cylinder are both regular hexagons. When the probe rod descends into the interior of the fixed cylinder, the tight fit of the regular hexagonal structure greatly increases the contact area between the two, so that the radial force on the probe rod can be evenly distributed through the fixed cylinder, avoiding local stress concentration, and can also effectively resist the influence of the radial force generated by the rotation during tool inspection.

[0017] The wireless five-axis tool setting instrument and its usage method provided by this invention, through the setting of a second trigger component, can drive the first gear disk to rotate together during the rotation of the first rotating column. The first gear disk can drive the second gear disk to rotate together. When the second gear disk rotates, it will drive the second rotating column fixedly connected to its inner circumference to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the second rotating column will then drive the second helical gear fixedly connected to its outer circumference to rotate. Since the second helical gear meshes with the first helical gear, the first helical gear will rotate accordingly. The bidirectional lead screw fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the first helical gear will also rotate synchronously. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw will cause the threaded sleeve and the annular plate (connected through the threaded hole) connected to it to be displaced under the limiting action of the guide rod, thereby driving the fixed annular plate and the annular plate to move, realizing the mode switching of the first trigger component and the second trigger component to adapt to the detection requirements of larger-sized tools. At the same time, the second ball is larger in size and has annular grooves on its outer wall to increase friction, thereby avoiding false triggering due to vibration during the detection of large-sized tools. In addition, the battery compartment on one side of the housing can provide power for the instrument to work, and the WIFI module on the circuit board realizes wireless signal transmission.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-9 A wireless five-way tool setter includes a mounting base 1. A housing 2 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the mounting base 1. A detection column 15 is set inside the housing 2. A spring 37 is fixedly connected to one end of the detection column 15. A partition is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the housing 2. The end of the spring 37 away from the detection column 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the partition. A connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the detection column 15. A fixing cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 13. A probe rod 5 is set inside the fixing cylinder 7. A probe head 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the probe rod 5. A sealing ring 14 is set at one end of the housing 2. The fixed cylinder 7 is equipped with a lifting assembly for adjusting the height of the probe rod 5; A fixed column 16 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the detection column 15, and a sliding column 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed column 16. There are six fixed columns 16. The first trigger assembly and the second trigger assembly are provided inside the housing 2. The outer side of the housing 2 is provided with a displacement component that switches the modes of the first trigger component and the second trigger component. By switching the modes of the first trigger component and the second trigger component, it can adapt to the detection of different specifications of tools. Combined with the lifting component, the height of the probe rod 5 is adjusted to enhance the strength.

[0034] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a slot 38 formed inside the fixed cylinder 7, with a probe rod 5 inserted into the slot 38. Both the probe rod 5 and the slot 38 have a regular hexagonal cross-section. A bearing seat 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the fixed cylinder 7, and a first rotating column 10 is fixedly connected to the circumferential inner wall of the bearing seat 31. A threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the first rotating column 10. A threaded groove is formed inside the probe rod 5, and the threaded rod 19 forms a threaded connection with the probe rod 5 through the threaded groove. A rotating block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating column 10. A sliding groove 6 is formed on one side of the outer wall of the probe rod 5. A slider 30 is provided inside the slot 38, and the slider 30 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 6. When a larger size is required... When inspecting the cutting tool, the operator first rotates the rotating block 9, which drives the first rotating column 10 and the threaded rod 19 to rotate together. At this time, the probe rod 5 will descend into the fixed cylinder 7, thereby shortening the exposed length of the probe rod 5 and enhancing its overall rigidity to prevent breakage during the inspection of larger-sized cutting tools. Moreover, the cross-sections of the probe rod 5 and the fixed cylinder 7 are both regular hexagons. When the probe rod 5 descends into the fixed cylinder 7, the tight fit of the regular hexagonal structure greatly increases the contact area between the two, allowing the radial force on the probe rod 5 to be evenly distributed through the fixed cylinder 7, avoiding local stress concentration, and effectively resisting the influence of the radial force generated by the rotation during the inspection of the cutting tool.

[0035] Furthermore, a battery compartment 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the housing 2, and a battery pack 23 is fixedly connected inside the battery compartment 3. A circuit board 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the housing 2, and a WIFI module 22 is provided on the circuit board 21, which enables the entire tool setter to have wireless transmission function, improving detection accuracy, compatibility and ease of use.

[0036] Furthermore, the first triggering component includes an annular plate 27, and the inner circumferential wall of the annular plate 27 is fixedly connected with second rolling seats 39 that are evenly distributed in a circle. The inner circumferential wall of the second rolling seat 39 is connected to a first ball 41, and the outer circumferential wall of the first ball 41 is in contact with the outer circumferential wall of the slide column 17. There are three second rolling seats 39. The first triggering component inside the housing 2 contacts the slide column 17 through the first ball 41. The first ball 41 is small in size and has a smooth surface, which is suitable for detecting small tools, reducing triggering resistance and reducing errors caused by tool displacement overshoot.

[0037] Furthermore, the second triggering component includes a fixed ring plate 18 sleeved on the outer circumference of the detection column 15. An arc-shaped plate 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixed ring plate 18. A first rolling seat 29 is fixedly connected to the end of the arc-shaped plate 28 away from the fixed ring plate 18. A second ball bearing 43 is rolled inside the first rolling seat 29. The first rolling seat 29 and the second rolling seat 39 are staggered. A gap is formed between the two second rolling seats 39 to facilitate the lateral movement of the first rolling seat 29. The staggered distribution of the first rolling seat 29 and the use of the gap between them to realize the lateral movement of the first rolling seat 29 ensures the smooth contact between the second triggering component and the sliding column 17 during mode switching.

[0038] Furthermore, the first ball 41 is smaller than the second ball 43. The outer circumference of the second ball 43 is provided with annular grooves 44 distributed at equal intervals. The first ball 41 can adapt to the detection of small-sized tools with low contact resistance. Through low friction characteristics and lever effect, a small thrust can trigger the signal, reducing tool displacement overshoot error. The second ball 43, due to its larger size and annular grooves 44 on its outer wall, can increase the contact friction with the slide column 17, improve the trigger threshold, effectively resist vibration and impact interference when detecting large-sized tools, and avoid false triggering. The combination of the two achieves accurate adaptation to tools of different sizes, improving the detection accuracy and compatibility of the tool setter.

[0039] Furthermore, a first gear disk 8 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the first rotating column 10, a second gear disk 12 meshes with the outer circumference of the first gear disk 8, a second rotating column 36 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the second gear disk 12, a protective shell 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the housing 2, the second rotating column 36 is rotatably connected to the protective shell 11, a second helical gear 35 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the second rotating column 36, a first helical gear 34 meshes with the outer circumference of the second helical gear 35, the displacement assembly includes a bidirectional lead screw 33 fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the first helical gear 34, a threaded sleeve 25 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the bidirectional lead screw 33, the threaded sleeve 25 is fixedly connected to the fixed ring plate 18, a threaded hole 26 is opened on one side of the outer wall of the ring plate 27, the threaded hole 26 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 33, a guide rod 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the housing 2, a guide block 24 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the fixed ring plate 18, one end of the guide rod 20 extends from the guide... The first rotating column 10 rotates, driving the first gear disk 8 to rotate together. The first gear disk 8 drives the second gear disk 12 to rotate together. When the second gear disk 12 rotates, it drives the second rotating column 36, which is fixedly connected to its inner circumference, to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the second rotating column 36 then drives the second helical gear 35, which is fixedly connected to its outer circumference, to rotate. Since the second helical gear 35 meshes with the first helical gear 34, the first helical gear 34 will rotate accordingly. The bidirectional lead screw 33, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the first helical gear 34, will also rotate synchronously. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 33 will cause the threaded sleeve 25 and the annular plate 27 (connected through the threaded hole 26) connected to it to be displaced under the limiting action of the guide rod 20, thereby driving the fixed ring plate 18 and the annular plate 27 to move, realizing the mode switching of the first trigger component and the second trigger component to adapt to the detection requirements of larger-sized tools.

[0040] The method of using the five-axis tool setter, applied to the five-axis tool setter of the above embodiment, is characterized by including the following steps: Step 1: According to the specifications of the tool to be tested, adjust the extension length of the probe rod 5 by rotating block 9, and switch to the corresponding trigger component using the displacement component; Step 2: Start the equipment and slowly move the cutter toward the probe head 4 until it contacts the probe head 4 and pushes the detection column 15 to compress the spring 37, triggering the corresponding component to send a signal. Record the cutter position coordinates at this time. Step 3: The detection data is transmitted to the controller via WIFI module 22, and the system automatically calculates the tool parameters and updates the tool compensation value; Step 4: After compensation is completed, the tool is reset, and the tool setter returns to its initial state under the action of spring 37, ready for the next inspection.

[0041] In summary, by means of the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention, when detecting smaller-sized cutting tools, the cutting tool first descends and contacts the probe head 4. When the cutting tool contacts the probe head 4, it pushes the probe rod 5, the fixed cylinder 7, and the detection column 15 to move, causing the detection column 15 to compress the spring 37. At the same time, the fixed column 16 and the sliding column 17 on the detection column 15 are displaced accordingly. At this time, the first triggering component inside the housing 2 contacts the sliding column 17 through the first ball 41. The first ball 41 is small in size and has a smooth surface, which is suitable for detecting small cutting tools. It can reduce triggering resistance and reduce errors caused by tool displacement overshoot. At the same time, when detecting small-sized cutting tools, the extension of the probe rod 5 from the fixed cylinder 7 reaches its maximum. At this time, the leverage effect transmitted to the detection column 15 through the probe head 4 and the probe rod 5 reaches its maximum. In this way, the limited leverage force applied by the small cutting tool can be amplified through the maximized leverage effect, making it easier for the force of the sliding column 17 on the first ball 41 to reach the trigger threshold. This ensures that the first triggering component responds quickly and sends a signal, thus realizing the accurate detection of micro-cutting tools. When larger-sized cutting tools need to be inspected, the operator first rotates the rotating block 9. The rotating block 9 drives the first rotating column 10 and the threaded rod 19 to rotate together. At this time, the probe rod 5 will descend into the fixed cylinder 7, thereby shortening the exposed length of the probe rod 5 and enhancing its overall rigidity to prevent breakage during the inspection of larger-sized cutting tools. Moreover, the cross-sections of the probe rod 5 and the fixed cylinder 7 are both regular hexagons. When the probe rod 5 descends into the fixed cylinder 7, the tight fit of the regular hexagonal structure greatly increases the contact area between the two, so that the radial force on the probe rod 5 can be evenly distributed through the fixed cylinder 7, avoiding local stress concentration. At the same time, it can also effectively resist the influence of the radial force generated by the rotation during the inspection of the cutting tool. Furthermore, during the rotation of the first rotating column 10, it can drive the first gear disk 8 to rotate together. The first gear disk 8 can drive the second gear disk 12 to rotate together. When the second gear disk 12 rotates, it will drive the second rotating column 36, which is fixedly connected to its inner circumference, to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the second rotating column 36 will then drive the second helical gear 35, which is fixedly connected to its outer circumference, to rotate. Since the second helical gear 35 meshes with the first helical gear 34, the first helical gear 34 will rotate accordingly. The bidirectional lead screw 33, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the first helical gear 34, will also rotate synchronously. The rotation causes the threaded sleeve 25 and the annular plate 27 (connected through the threaded hole 26) connected to it to be displaced under the limiting action of the guide rod 20, thereby driving the fixed ring plate 18 and the annular plate 27 to move, realizing the mode switching of the first trigger component and the second trigger component to adapt to the detection requirements of larger-sized tools. At the same time, the second ball 43 is larger in size and has annular grooves 44 on its outer wall to increase friction, thereby avoiding false triggering due to vibration during the detection of large-sized tools. In addition, the battery compartment 3 on one side of the housing 2 can provide power for the instrument to work, while the WIFI module on the circuit board 21 realizes wireless signal transmission.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
