[0002] In the field of precision machining, machine tools have extremely high requirements for tool accuracy. Laser tool setters, with their core advantage of non-contact measurement, have become key equipment for ensuring machining quality. First, they can accurately measure the length, diameter, and wear of tools, replacing the subjective judgment of traditional manual tool setting and controlling tool setting errors to the micrometer level. This effectively avoids workpiece dimensional deviations caused by tool parameter discrepancies, significantly improving machining accuracy. Second, laser tool setters can achieve automatic tool setting without manual adjustment by operators, shortening auxiliary time for tool changes and setting, reducing the error rate of manual operation, and significantly improving production efficiency. Furthermore, during batch processing, they can monitor tool wear in real time and issue timely warnings, preventing workpiece scrap or equipment damage due to excessive tool wear, extending tool life while reducing production costs. Finally, their compatibility with various types of tools and machine tools can meet the needs of complex machining scenarios, providing reliable technical support for intelligent manufacturing and automated production.

[0003] In machining scenarios, the disassembly and installation of tool setters often rely on manual operation. Due to the lack of a positioning mechanism, not only will the overall installation efficiency be greatly reduced, but the tool setter may also be damaged due to operational errors, or the installation may be unstable, which will have an adverse effect on the subsequent machining accuracy and product quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To further understand the invention's content, features, and effects, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The structure of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides a quick-installation machine tool laser tool setting positioning mechanism, comprising: a base 1, with a rotating disk 2 rotatably connected to the upper side of the base 1; an adjustment component, mounted on the upper side of the rotating disk 2; a positioning component, mounted on the adjustment component, with a tool setting body 3 mounted on the positioning component; the adjustment component is used to adjust the height, angle, and longitudinal position of the tool setting body 3, and the positioning component is used to position and install the tool setting body 3; and an auxiliary component, mounted on the lower side of the base 1.

[0019] Using the above scheme: During installation, the operator places the base 1 in the designated area of ​​the machine tool workbench, connects the auxiliary components to the machine tool, and then installs the tool setter body 3 onto the positioning component. After the tool setter body 3 is inserted into the preset position, the positioning component completes the positioning and fixes it. Then, the position of the tool setter body 3 is adjusted by adjusting the rotation, vertical and longitudinal movement of the component. During tool setting, the tool moves and blocks the laser. The device immediately records the coordinates, calculates the actual length, diameter and tip position of the tool, and realizes the tool setting function. The auxiliary components filter the impact and vibration transmitted from the machine tool bed, so that the laser tool setter remains stable and improves the tool setting accuracy.

[0020] It should be noted that the tool setting device body 3 is existing technology.

[0021] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes: a first fixing post 4 fixedly connected to the upper side of the rotating disk 2; a limiting disk 5 fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating disk 2, the limiting disk 5 being located inside the base 1; and multiple circumferentially distributed first threaded holes 6 are provided on both the base 1 and the limiting disk 5, wherein four corresponding first threaded holes 6 are threadedly connected to first bolts 7.

[0022] Furthermore, a first fixing frame 8 is slidably connected to the first fixing post 4, and a plurality of auxiliary wheels 9 that are in contact with the surface of the first fixing post 4 are rotatably connected to the first fixing frame 8; a fixing stud 10 that can be inserted into the first fixing post 4 is threadedly connected to the first fixing frame 8, and a first threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the first fixing post 4, and the first fixing frame 8 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 11.

[0023] Furthermore, two symmetrically arranged slide rails 12 are fixedly connected to the left side of the first fixing frame 8; a first sliding plate 28 is slidably connected to the slide rail 12; a plurality of symmetrically arranged second threaded holes 13 are opened on the slide rail 12, and a second bolt 14 that cooperates with the second threaded hole 13 is threadedly connected to the first sliding plate.

[0024] Furthermore, the positioning component includes: a first support frame 15 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first sliding plate 28; a first positioning tube 16 fixedly connected to the first support frame 15, a limiting hole 17 opened in the first positioning tube 16, a positioning post 18 inserted in the limiting hole 17, and the tool setting device body 3 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the positioning post 18.

[0025] Furthermore, the outer surface of the positioning post 18 is provided with a positioning hole 19; the outer surface of the first positioning tube 16 is slidably connected with a plurality of positioning rods 20 that can be inserted into the positioning hole 19, and the first support frame 15 is rotatably connected with a second threaded rod 21 that cooperates with the positioning rods 20.

[0026] Furthermore, one end of the second threaded rod 21 is fixedly connected to a helical gear 22, and the top of the first positioning tube 16 is rotatably connected to a helical gear ring 23 that cooperates with the helical gear 22.

[0027] Using the above scheme: In use, insert the positioning pin 18 into the limiting hole 17 and push it to the preset position so that the positioning hole 19 is aligned with the positioning rod 20. Rotate the helical gear ring 23 to drive multiple helical gears 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the second threaded rod 21 to rotate synchronously. The second threaded rod 21 pushes the positioning rod 20 to move through the thread and inserts it into the positioning hole 19, fixing the positioning pin 18 in the limiting hole 17. This completes the quick installation and positioning of the tool setter. After placing the tool setter in the designated area of ​​the machine tool worktable, rotate the first fixing pin 4 to drive the rotating disk 2 to rotate horizontally on the base 1. After rotating to the required position, screw the first bolt 7 into the corresponding position. A threaded hole 6 is used to rotate the first threaded rod 11 to move the first fixed frame 8 up and down on the first fixed post 4. The auxiliary wheel 9 assists in sliding. After moving to the preset position, the fixing stud 10 is screwed into the first fixed post 4, which pushes the first sliding plate 28 to drive the first bearing frame 15 to move longitudinally. After moving to the preset position, the second bolt 14 is screwed into the second threaded hole 13 to complete the horizontal angle, vertical and longitudinal position adjustment of the tool setting device body 3. The tool setting device can be quickly installed and positioned by inserting the positioning post 18 into the limiting hole 17 and driving the positioning rod 20 into the positioning hole 19 through the helical tooth ring 23, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0028] Furthermore, the auxiliary component includes: an annular plate 24 disposed below the base 1; multiple circumferentially distributed second sliders 25 are inserted into both the annular plate 24 and the base 1, and a telescopic rod 26 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower sets of second sliders 25.

[0029] Furthermore, a spring 27 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower sets of the second sliders 25, and the spring 27 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 26.

[0030] Using the above solution: When in use, insert and fix the two sets of second sliders 25 into the grooves of the base 1 and the annular plate 24. After fixing, the operator places and fixes the annular plate 24 on the side of the machine tool table that does not interfere with the processing. When the machine tool vibrates, the impact and vibration transmitted from the machine tool bed are greatly filtered through the cooperation of the spring 27 and the telescopic rod 26, so that the laser tool setter remains absolutely stable and maintains the tool setting accuracy.

[0031] It should be noted that a flexible protective sleeve can be fitted over the spring 27 and the first threaded rod 11 to prevent debris and cutting fluid generated by the machine tool from entering them, thus providing protection using the flexible protective sleeve.

[0032] Working principle of the invention: During installation, insert and fix the two sets of second sliders 25 into the grooves of the base 1 and the annular plate 24. After fixing, place and fix the annular plate 24 on the side of the machine tool table that does not interfere with processing. Insert the positioning pin 18 into the limiting hole 17 and push it to the preset position so that the positioning hole 19 is aligned with the positioning rod 20. Rotate the helical gear ring 23 to drive multiple helical gears 22 to rotate, which drives the second threaded rod 21 to rotate synchronously. The second threaded rod 21 pushes the positioning rod 20 to move through the thread and inserts it into the positioning hole 19, fixing the positioning pin 18 in the limiting hole 17. After completing the quick installation and positioning of the tool setter, place the tool setter in the designated area of ​​the machine tool table, rotate the first fixing pin 4 to drive the rotating disk 2 to rotate horizontally on the base 1. After rotating to the required position, screw the first bolt 7 into the corresponding first... The threaded hole 6 is used to rotate the first threaded rod 11 to move the first fixed frame 8 up and down on the first fixed column 4. The auxiliary wheel 9 assists in sliding. After moving to the preset position, the fixing stud 10 is screwed into the first fixed column 4, pushing the first sliding plate 28 to drive the first bearing frame 15 to move longitudinally. After moving to the preset position, the second bolt 14 is screwed into the second threaded hole 13 to complete the horizontal angle, vertical and longitudinal position adjustment of the tool setter body 3. The tool setter is quickly installed and positioned by inserting the positioning column 18 into the limiting hole 17 and driving the positioning rod 20 into the positioning hole 19 by the helical tooth ring 23, which improves the installation efficiency. When the machine tool vibrates, the impact and vibration transmitted from the machine tool bed are greatly filtered by the cooperation of the spring 27 and the telescopic rod 26, so that the laser tool setter remains absolutely stable and maintains the tool setting accuracy.
