[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the present invention provides a tool setting device for detecting the installation posture of a tool. The device includes a base plate 10, a clamping mechanism 20, and a first observation mechanism 30. The base plate 10 is disposed in a support position; the clamping mechanism 20 is disposed on the base plate 10 and is used to clamp the workpiece to be processed; the first observation mechanism 30 is disposed on one side of the clamping mechanism 20 and includes a first observation element 31 and a base 32. The base 32 is disposed on the base plate 10, and the first observation element 31 is installed on the base 32, with the observation end of the first observation element 31 facing away from the base plate 10. The first observation element 31 is communicatively connected to a display screen to observe whether the tool is installed in a preset posture.
[0036] In this device, the base plate 10 provides stable support for the clamping mechanism 20 and the first observation mechanism 30, thereby ensuring the stability of subsequent observation and cutting. The observation end of the first observation piece 31 faces the tool, so the specific installation posture of the tool can be observed through the display screen. This allows for quick and accurate judgment of whether the cutting direction of the tool is correct and whether it is installed at the preset angle, thus avoiding incorrect cutting direction or tool jamming, thereby improving the yield of finished products and preventing tool breakage.
[0037] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, three cutting tools (not shown in the figure) are required. The first tool is used for rough machining of the triangular hole, the second tool is used for a first finishing machining of the triangular hole, and the third tool is used for a second finishing machining of the triangular hole. Throughout the machining process, the workpiece needs to be disassembled multiple times, and different cutting tools need to be changed repeatedly. The first observation element 31 in this embodiment can achieve an observation positioning accuracy of 0.5 μm and can observe the wear of the cutting tools after each machining operation.
[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first observation element 31 is a high-definition industrial microscope, which contains a reflecting lens. Its observation end is located on the side wall of the microscope. The reflecting lens can reflect the tool facing the observation end, thus allowing the tool in the vertical direction to be observed along the axial direction of the first observation element 31. This simplifies the overall structure, facilitates installation, and ensures good operational convenience. The operator can adjust the tool according to the posture displayed on the screen until it meets the preset posture. At this time, the lathe holding the tool is locked, and the workpiece is cut.
[0039] To improve ease of operation, the first observation element 31 is slidably engaged with the base 32. This arrangement allows the position of the first observation element 31 to be adjusted according to the actual position of the tool, and the sliding engagement improves the ease of adjustment of the first observation element 31, ensuring a good user experience.
[0040] The first observation mechanism 30 also includes a slider 33, with the first observation element 31 connected to the slider 33. The slider 33 is slidably connected to the base 32, and the slider 33 can drive the first observation element 31 to slide along the width direction of the base plate 10. This structure not only facilitates the sliding connection between the first observation element 31 and the base 32, but also ensures the stability and smoothness of the sliding, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the observation tool.
[0041] Preferably, multiple grooves are provided at the bottom of the slider 33 and multiple slide rails are provided at the top of the base 32. Both the grooves and slide rails extend along the width direction of the base plate 10. The grooves and slide rails slide in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby ensuring the stability and smoothness of the sliding and preventing the slider 33 from getting stuck.
[0042] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first observation mechanism 30 also includes a pad 34, which is detachably mounted on the base plate 10, and the base 32 is disposed on the pad 34. The pad 34 can effectively reduce vibration and can integrate the first observation component 31, the base 32 and the slider 33 on the pad 34, thereby improving the compactness of the overall structure and avoiding an overly loose distribution.
[0043] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second observation mechanism 40 is also provided on the base plate 10. The second observation mechanism 40 is located on one side of the clamping mechanism 20 and is communicatively connected to the display screen. The second observation mechanism 40 is configured to observe whether the axial positioning of the tool conforms to the preset posture. The second observation mechanism 40 can determine the axial positioning of the tool and transmit the observation image to the display screen, allowing the operator to judge whether the axial positioning of the tool conforms to the preset posture. This, in conjunction with the first observation component 31, further improves the installation accuracy of the tool, thereby ensuring good cutting results and increasing the product yield.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second observation mechanism 40 includes a universal observation bracket 41 and a second observation element 42. One end of the universal observation bracket 41 is disposed on the base plate 10, and the second observation element 42 is disposed on the other end of the universal observation bracket 41. The universal observation bracket 41 is configured to allow the second observation element 42 to rotate in all directions. This structure not only facilitates the installation of the second observation element 42, but also allows for easy adjustment of the position of the second observation element 42, thereby enabling it to be adjusted to the most suitable position for observing the tool posture, improving the flexibility, convenience, and accuracy of observation positioning. In this embodiment, the second observation element 42 can also be an optical observation lens with magnification function.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the universal observation bracket 41 includes an observation base 411, a first observation link 412, and a second observation link 413. The observation base 411 is mounted on the base plate 10. The first observation link 412 is connected to the observation base 411 via a universal ball joint. The second observation link 413 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first observation link 412. The second observation element 42 is connected to the other end of the second observation link 413 via a universal ball joint. The first observation link 412 can rotate to multiple angles around the universal ball joint and can hover at any angle. The second observation link 413 can rotate to any angle around the pivot position of the first observation link 412 and can hover at the corresponding position. The second observation element 42 can rotate to multiple angles around the universal ball joint and can hover at any angle.
[0046] To fully improve the accuracy of observations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a supplementary lighting mechanism 50 is also provided on the base plate 10. The supplementary lighting mechanism 50 includes a supplementary lighting component 51 and a universal supplementary lighting bracket 52. One end of the universal supplementary lighting bracket 52 is disposed on the base plate 10, and the supplementary lighting component 51 is disposed on the other end of the universal supplementary lighting bracket 52. The universal supplementary lighting bracket 52 is configured to allow the supplementary lighting component 51 to rotate in all directions. The supplementary lighting component 51 can provide sufficient illumination for the first observation component 31 and the second observation component 42, thereby ensuring a good observation environment and avoiding the situation where insufficient brightness leads to a decrease in the accuracy of observation positioning. The universal supplementary lighting bracket 52 can freely adjust the illumination angle of the supplementary lighting component 51, thereby improving the accuracy and flexibility of supplementary lighting.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the universal lighting bracket 52 includes a lighting base 521, a first lighting link 522, and a second lighting link 523. The lighting base 521 is mounted on the base plate 10. The first lighting link 522 is connected to the lighting base 521 via a universal ball joint. The second lighting link 523 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first lighting link 522. The lighting component 51 is connected to the other end of the second lighting link 523 via a universal ball joint. The first lighting link 522 can rotate to multiple angles around the universal ball joint and can hover at any angle. The second lighting link 523 can rotate to any angle around the pivot position of the first lighting link 522 and can hover at the corresponding position. The lighting component 51 can rotate to multiple angles around the universal ball joint and can hover at any angle.
[0048] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, multiple supplementary lighting mechanisms 50 are provided, and these multiple supplementary lighting mechanisms 50 are arranged around the first observation element 31. The multiple supplementary lighting mechanisms 50 can provide lighting to the first observation element 31 from multiple angles, thereby ensuring a good supplementary lighting effect. This provides a good objective adjustment for the first observation element 31 to accurately observe whether the blade rotation direction of the tool is correct, and thus improves the accuracy of the observation results.
[0049] Considering that the locking position of the workpiece during processing also determines the processing result to a certain extent, therefore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism 20 includes a clamping base 21 and a clamping block 22. The clamping base 21 is mounted on the base plate 10, and the clamping block 22 is disposed on the clamping base 21. The clamping block 22 is used to clamp the workpiece to be processed. A dial indicator 23 is also disposed on the clamping base 21. The dial indicator 23 is used to measure the distance between the clamping block 22 and the edge of the clamping base 21. The workpiece to be processed can be clamped and fixed by the clamping block 22. When the clamping block 22 is installed on the clamping base 21, the distance between it and the edge of the clamping base 21 can be determined by the dial indicator 23, thereby ensuring that the clamping block 22 is installed in the same position each time, thus indirectly ensuring that the position of the workpiece to be processed is the same each time, thereby improving the processing accuracy.
[0050] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping base 21 is equipped with clamps, which can fix the clamping block 22; in addition, the clamping block 22 has a clamping hole 221 at its center, which is used to clamp the workpiece to be processed. Furthermore, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping base 21, clamping block 22 and multiple dial indicators 23 are all integrated on the mounting plate 24, so that the entire clamping mechanism 20 can be integrated in the same area.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least one dial indicator 23 is provided on both the long and short sides of the clamping base 21. This arrangement allows for the measurement of the distance between the clamping block 22 and the edge of the clamping base 21, thus ensuring measurement accuracy. It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the clamping base 21 and the clamping block 22 are rectangular. Therefore, dial indicators 23 are provided on adjacent long and short sides of the clamping base 21, with two dial indicators 23 on the long side and one dial indicator 23 on the short side at the center. The two dial indicators 23 on the long side are located at both ends of the long side, ensuring accurate installation of the clamping block 22 and preventing tilting or misalignment with the clamping base 21, thereby improving machining accuracy.
[0052] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the usage process of the tool-setting device in this embodiment is described as follows:
[0053] First, the workpiece to be processed is clamped by the clamping block 22. After the clamping block 22 is placed on the clamping seat 21, the clamping block 22 is finely adjusted until the number displayed by the dial indicator 23 meets the standard value (indicating that the workpiece to be processed has reached the target position).
[0054] Secondly, by adjusting the positions of the first observation piece 31 and the second observation piece 42, the cutting edge direction and installation posture of the tool can be clearly observed on the display screen. Based on the observation results, the tool is adjusted until it is adjusted to the target posture, and then the tool is clamped by the machine tool.
[0055] Finally, use a cutting tool to cut a triangular hole in the workpiece, and repeat the above two steps to change the cutting tool.
[0056] In summary, the tool setting device in this embodiment can quickly detect whether the cutting direction of the tool is correct and determine whether the tool is installed in a preset posture, thereby ensuring machining accuracy, avoiding tool breakage, and improving machining efficiency and yield.
[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
