[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use.
[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses an embodiment of a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) device, which includes a first frame 1, a second frame 2, and a rotation center 11. A base plate 15 is provided on the first frame 1, and several clamps 13 are fixed on the base plate 15 to position and clamp the workpiece. The rotation center 11 is located on the first frame 1, and the base plate 15 can rotate around the rotation center 11. A detection head 21 is installed on the second frame 2. This detection head is an existing product and will not be described in detail here. The base plate 15 rotates to form a mechanism for switching the clamp 13 on one side of the second frame 2; the detection head 21 detects the workpiece on the clamp 13 on one side of the second frame 2.
[0019] In use, different clamps 13 can be switched by rotating the base plate 15. When a certain clamp 13 is needed, the clamp 13 can be rotated to the detection head 21 to fix the workpiece. It is convenient and quick, and there is no need to repeatedly disassemble and assemble the clamp 13, which can improve the detection efficiency.
[0020] In some embodiments, a coordinate measuring machine is specifically designed as follows: As attached Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base plate 15 is driven to rotate by the drive unit 14. The drive unit 14 is mounted on the first frame 1 and includes a motor 143 and a turntable 17. The motor 143 is mounted on the mounting plate 16 of the first frame 1, and the turntable 17 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the mounting plate 16. The turntable 17 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 16 via a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft and the output shaft of the motor 143 are connected by a belt 144. An angle sensor is set on the turntable 17, and the sensor is connected to the controller. The angle sensor feeds back the rotation angle of the base plate 15 to achieve precise switching of the position of the clamp 13.
[0021] In a further design, considering the need to improve detection accuracy, and taking into account the slight deviations that may occur when testing the workpiece on the substrate 15 (the substrate 15 may have a slight wobble), the drive unit 14 is designed to also drive the substrate 15 to rise and fall. A lifting unit is also provided on the first frame 1. The lifting unit drives the drive unit 14 and the substrate 15 to rise and fall. The lifting unit includes a cylinder 141 and a guide assembly 142. The cylinder 141 is mounted on the first frame 1, and the guide assembly 142 connects the first frame 1 and the mounting plate 16. The cylinder 141 drives the mounting plate 16 to rise and fall. The guide assembly 142 uses a linear bearing and guide rail design. The specific installation details are described here.
[0022] Several receiving plates 12 are inserted into the base plate 15, and the fixtures 13 are fixedly connected to the corresponding receiving plates 12. A pair of fixtures 13 are provided to meet the inspection of two types of workpieces. According to actual needs, the base plate 15 can be designed as a circle, and multiple fixtures 13 are fixed in a circumferential array on the edge of the base plate 15 to achieve a larger range of workpiece inspection categories. Each fixture 13 has the same rotation radius.
[0023] In the detailed design, the receiving plate 12 is provided with a first docking part 18, and the second frame 2 is provided with a second docking part 22. During the workpiece testing process, the receiving plate 12 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the receiving plate 12 is connected to the base plate 15. In the second position, the receiving plate 12 is detached from the base plate 15 and sits on the second frame 2. At this time, the workpiece in the fixture 13 is tested. The first position includes a receiving plate 12 that is inserted into a connecting base plate 15; the second position includes a second docking part 22 that is combined with a first docking part 18, the receiving plate 12 is connected to the second frame 2, and the driving part 14 drives the base plate 15 to rise and fall, so that the receiving plate 12 can switch between the first position and the second position.
[0024] As attached Figure 3The first docking portion 18 shown in this embodiment includes a positioning hole 121, a guide hole 122, and a first docking member 123. The positioning hole 121, the guide hole 122, and the first docking member 123 are disposed on the receiving plate 12. The first docking member 123 is fixed on the side of the receiving plate 12 facing the second frame 2. The second docking portion 22 includes a second docking member 221 and a guide post 222. The second docking member 221 and the guide post 222 are fixed on the second frame 2. The base plate 15 is provided with a positioning post 111. Normally, two positioning posts 111 are required when positioning the receiving plate 12. The two positioning posts 111 are fixed diagonally on the base plate 15. The positioning posts 111 are inserted into the positioning holes 121 to realize the connection between the receiving plate 12 and the base plate 15. In the first position, the positioning post 111 is connected to the positioning hole 121; in the second position, the guide post 222 is connected to the guide hole 122 and the first docking part 123 and the second docking part 221 are docked. In actual manufacturing, there are four second docking parts 221 and the matrix part is on the second frame 2. The first docking parts 123 are matched and arranged; two guide posts 222 are provided and spaced apart on both sides of the second frame 2. The guide holes 122 are matched and arranged. The first docking piece 123 and the second docking piece 221 work together to form a positioning reference for the receiving plate 12, and the guide post 222 works with the guide hole 122 to oriented the receiving plate 12.
[0025] In some embodiments, electromagnets are provided on the first docking member 123 and the second docking member 221. When the first docking member 123 and the second docking member 221 are docked, the electromagnets are energized, and the two are firmly attracted and fixed to each other, which enhances the stability of the workpiece when it is being measured.
[0026] As attached Figure 2 As shown, when considering the installation and positioning of the substrate 15, the designer sets a first corner mark 100 on the mounting plate 16 of the first frame 1 and a second corner mark 200 on the substrate 15. The substrate 15 is rotated so that the first corner mark 100 and the second corner mark 200 are coplanar. When the substrate 15 is installed, the two corner marks are aligned and on the same plane, which means that it is correctly installed and rework is avoided.
[0027] Furthermore, the substrate 15 in the embodiment is made of aluminum alloy, which meets the requirements for weight and strength; finally, the clamp 13 in the embodiment uses multiple grippers in conjunction with the rodless cylinder 141 to achieve tightening and fixing, which is an existing product and belongs to a type of pneumatic finger.
[0028] Specific usage: The workpiece is clamped by a suitable fixture 13, and the motor 143 is started to drive the base plate 15 to rotate. After reaching the second frame 2, the cylinder 141 is started to move the base plate 15 down until the receiving plate 12 is separated from the base plate 15 and docks with the second frame 2, thus completing the final positioning of the workpiece. At this time, the detection head 21 is started to perform three-coordinate detection. When the model of the workpiece to be tested changes, select a suitable fixture 13 for clamping, and the subsequent operation is the same as above. Place the receiving plate 12 corresponding to this fixture 13 on the second frame 2 and perform three-coordinate detection. Theoretically, after the detection head 21 establishes a coordinate system for a certain model of workpiece, the establishment of a coordinate system can be avoided for the same model of workpiece.
