Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automatic leveling, in particular to a device used for diamond processing. Background Art
[0002] In the process of diamond processing, it is often necessary to level the plane of the platform for placing the workpiece. Compared with the manual leveling device, the automatic leveling device has been widely used because of its advantages of small error and high efficiency. Commonly used automatic leveling devices can refer to the automatic leveling device provided by the Chinese utility model patent "An automatic leveling device for laser forming" with patent number CN201520158046.6 (publication number CN204495337U).
[0003] Existing automatic leveling devices usually use a laser distance measuring mechanism as a plane detection mechanism, and then adjust the plane to be parallel to the reference plane through a liftable adjustment mechanism arranged under the platform. However, the adjustment mechanism usually uses a vertically arranged motor or cylinder or other driving source, and the driving rod is raised and lowered by this type of driving source to directly act on the platform to adjust the distance of the local platform relative to the reference plane, thereby leveling the platform plane. Therefore, the size height of the automatic leveling device usually includes at least the length of the driving source such as the motor or cylinder and the local driving rod. On this basis, the laser distance measuring mechanism also needs to occupy a certain installation space above the platform, which makes the overall size height of the automatic leveling device relatively high.
[0004] Therefore, when the working device needs to additionally level the working plane, some working devices may not have space to install the existing automatic leveling device. For example, the working device disclosed in the Chinese invention application "A Laser-Assisted Ultrasonic Composite High-Speed Scratching Test Device and Use Method" with publication number CN117233019A has a small distance between the tool and the processing plane, which may not be enough to install the existing automatic leveling device with a higher size and height, and it is also inconvenient to install an additional laser distance measurement mechanism on the device. Therefore, further improvement of the existing technology is needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a device for diamond processing which can effectively adjust the working plane of the diamond in view of the above-mentioned existing technical status, and is particularly suitable for the situation where the distance between the tool and the processing plane is small.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: the equipment for diamond processing includes:
[0007] A processing platform for placing diamonds to be processed;
[0008] A processing mechanism, located on the processing platform and forming a working space for processing diamonds with the processing platform;
[0009] The invention is characterized in that: it also includes a leveling module which can be installed on the processing platform, and the height of the leveling module is lower than the height of the working space; wherein, the leveling module includes:
[0010] A base, which can be mounted on the processing platform;
[0011] The leveling platform includes a fixing portion fixedly connected to the base and a working plane N for placing the object to be processed, and is matched with the base to form a receiving space, and the following are respectively arranged in the receiving space:
[0012] A detection mechanism, connected to the leveling platform, comprising a reference member, wherein the reference member defines a reference plane M, and the detection mechanism can detect whether the working plane N of the leveling platform is parallel to the reference plane M;
[0013] The adjusting mechanism is arranged at the periphery of the detecting mechanism and is communicatively connected with the detecting mechanism so as to adjust the working plane N to be parallel to the reference plane M.
[0014] In order to detect whether the working plane N is parallel to the reference plane M and at the same time ensure that the size and height of the leveling module are relatively low, preferably, the detection mechanism includes a second sensor and a first sensor communicatively connected to the second sensor. Correspondingly, the accommodating space includes a first space for accommodating the detection mechanism, and the first space includes: a first upper space, which is opened on the leveling platform, and the second sensor is arranged therein; a first lower space, which is opened on the base, and the first sensor and the reference member are arranged therein; a gap D, which is formed between the base and the leveling platform for the leveling platform to deflect, and the height of the first space is the sum of the first lower space, the first upper space and the gap D. The first sensor and the second sensor can be sensors that can detect deflection angles, such as angular velocity sensors and position sensors. The second sensor is arranged in the first upper space on the leveling platform so that the second sensor can deflect along with the leveling platform. The first sensor and the reference part are arranged in the first lower space on the base so that the first sensor can be stably set on the reference plane M of the reference part, thereby comparing the deflection data of the second sensor with the reference data of the first sensor to detect the deflection angle of the working plane N compared to the preset reference plane M. It should also be noted that in fact, only the second sensor can be used to determine whether the working plane N is parallel to the base plane M, but the error is relatively large.
[0015] In order to process the detected data, preferably, the detection mechanism also includes a control module. Correspondingly, the accommodating space includes a second space for accommodating the control module. The second space is opened on the base. The base is also provided with a first wire-passing portion for connecting the second space and the first lower space, so that the first sensor and the second sensor are connected to the control module in communication. The first wire-passing portion can be set as a through hole, a narrow through groove, etc. that is sufficient for the cable to pass through. The control module is set in the second space located on the base, and the second space is connected to the first lower space also located on the base through the first wire-passing portion. This is because it is considered that compared with a movable leveling platform, setting the control module on the base is relatively more stable.
[0016] In order to be able to adjust the working plane N to be parallel to the reference plane M, preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes two adjustment members capable of adjusting the size of the local gap D, so as to adjust the working plane N to be parallel to the reference plane M, and the accommodating space includes a third space and a fourth space capable of accommodating the two adjustment members respectively. Since the leveling platform already includes a fixed portion fixedly connected to the base, that is, the height of the fixed portion is constant, and three non-collinear points determine a plane, only two adjustment members capable of acting on the leveling platform are needed to adjust the working plane N to be parallel to the reference plane M. If the part where the adjustment member acts on the leveling platform is called the adjustment member, the essence of the action of the adjustment member is to make the adjustment member approach or move away from the base, which is manifested in that the adjustment member can adjust the size of the local gap D. In addition, it should be noted that since three non-collinear points determine a plane, the two adjustment members and the fixed member should not be on a straight line.
[0017] Furthermore, considering the size and height of the adjustment member, in order to fully utilize the space of the leveling platform, preferably, the third space is formed by the third lower space provided on the base and the third upper space provided on the leveling platform, and the height of the third space is the sum of the third lower space, the third upper space and the gap D. Similarly, the base is also provided with a fourth lower space, and the leveling platform is also provided with a fourth upper space, and the fourth lower space and the fourth upper space are jointly provided to form the fourth space. Such a design is based on the consideration that compared with completely accommodating the adjustment member by the base, accommodating the adjustment member by the leveling platform and the base can fully utilize the space of the leveling platform, thereby making the height of the leveling module lower.
[0018] In order to enable the adjustment member to communicate with the detection mechanism, preferably, the base is also provided with a second wire-passing portion for connecting the second space and the third lower space. Similarly, the base is also provided with a third wire-passing portion for connecting the second space and the fourth lower space, so that each adjustment member is communicatively connected with the control module. According to actual needs, the second wire-passing portion can directly connect the second space and the third lower space, or indirectly connect the second space and the third lower space by, for example, connecting the third lower space and the first lower space. Similarly, the third wire-passing portion can also directly or indirectly connect the second space and the fourth lower space.
[0019] In order to further reduce the height of the leveling module, preferably, the adjusting member includes a driving source, the driving source is horizontally arranged and is in communication connection with the control module, and the adjusting member also includes an action part capable of converting the horizontal power output by the driving source into vertical power, so that the third upper space moves in the vertical direction relative to the third lower space, and similarly, the adjusting member can move the fourth upper space in the vertical direction relative to the fourth lower space. Such a design is based on the consideration that the length of the driving source is usually greater than the width, so compared with the vertical arrangement of the driving source, the horizontal arrangement of the driving source can make the leveling module have a relatively lower height, and the action part can be composed of a transmission structure such as a rod, a shaft, a gear, etc.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the utility model lies in that by adding a leveling module whose height is lower than the height of the working space to the processing platform of the equipment, the equipment can effectively adjust the working plane of the diamond, thereby improving the processing accuracy and production efficiency, which is particularly suitable for situations where the distance between the tool and the processing plane is small.

[0030] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it is a preferred embodiment of the utility model. The equipment for diamond processing in this embodiment includes a processing platform 11 for placing the diamond to be processed, and also includes a processing mechanism 12 located on the processing platform 11. The processing mechanism 12 and the processing platform 11 form a working space 13 for processing diamonds. The processing mechanism 12 is a tool commonly used for processing diamonds, such as a tool, a laser device, etc., and therefore is no longer marked in the accompanying drawings. The equipment in this embodiment also includes a leveling module 2 that can be installed on the processing platform 11, and the height of the leveling module 2 is lower than the height of the working space 13. The leveling module 2 includes a base 3 that can be installed on the processing platform 11, and the leveling module 2 also includes a leveling platform 4. The leveling platform 4 includes a fixing portion 41 fixedly connected to the base 3 and a working plane N for carrying the object 14 to be processed, and a receiving space 5 is formed between the base 3. A detection mechanism 6 connected to the leveling platform 4 and an adjustment mechanism 7 arranged on the periphery of the detection mechanism 6 are respectively arranged inside the accommodating space 5. The detection mechanism 6 includes a reference member 61, and the reference member 61 defines a reference plane M. The detection mechanism 6 can detect whether the working plane N is parallel to the reference plane M, and the adjustment mechanism 7 is communicated with the detection mechanism 6 to adjust the working plane N to be parallel to the reference plane M.
[0032] Specifically, in order to detect whether the working plane N is parallel to the reference plane M and to ensure that the height of the leveling module 2 is relatively low, the detection mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a second sensor 63 and a first sensor 62 that is communicatively connected to the second sensor 63. Correspondingly, the accommodation space 5 includes a first space 51 for accommodating the detection mechanism 6. The first space 51 includes: a first upper space 512, which is opened on the leveling platform 4 and in which the second sensor 63 is arranged; a first lower space 511, which is opened on the base 3 and in which the first sensor 62 and the reference member 61 are arranged; a gap D, which is formed between the base 3 and the leveling platform 4 for the deflection of the leveling platform 4. The height of the first space 51 is the sum of the first lower space 511, the first upper space 512 and the gap D. In this embodiment, the first sensor 62 and the second sensor 63 are both angular velocity sensors, the reference member 61 is a part of the base 3, and the first sensor 62 is arranged on the reference plane M. The second sensor 63 is arranged in the first upper space 512 on the leveling platform 4 so that the second sensor 63 can be tilted together with the leveling platform 4; the first sensor 62 and the reference member 61 are arranged in the first lower space 511 on the base 3 so that the first sensor 62 is stably arranged on the reference plane M, so that the tilt data of the second sensor 63 is compared with the reference data of the first sensor 62 to detect the tilt angle of the working plane N compared with the preset reference plane M. Considering the need to process the detected data and drive the adjustment mechanism, see Figure 3 , the detection mechanism 6 also includes a control module 64, and correspondingly, the accommodating space 5 includes a second space 52 for accommodating the control module 64, the second space 52 is opened on the base 3, and the base 3 is also provided with a first wire-passing portion 31 for connecting the second space 52 and the first lower space 511, so that the first sensor 62 and the second sensor 63 are communicated and connected with the control module 64. The first wire-passing portion 31 in this embodiment is a channel for the cable to pass through, and the control module 64 is arranged in the second space 52 located on the base 3, and the second space 52 is connected to the first lower space 511 also located on the base 3 through the first wire-passing portion 31, considering that compared with the movable leveling platform 4, it is relatively more stable to arrange the control module 64 on the base 3.
[0033] In order to adjust the working plane N to be parallel to the reference plane M, the adjustment mechanism 7 includes two adjustment members 71 capable of adjusting the size of the local gap D, so as to adjust the working plane N to be parallel to the reference plane M, and the accommodating space 5 includes a third space 53 and a fourth space 54 capable of accommodating the two adjustment members 71 respectively. Since the leveling platform 4 already includes a fixing portion 41 fixedly connected to the base 3, that is, the height of the fixing portion 41 is constant, and three non-collinear points determine a plane, only two adjustment members 71 capable of acting on the leveling platform 4 are needed to adjust the working plane N to be parallel to the reference plane M. If the part where the adjustment member 71 acts on the leveling platform 4 is called the adjustment portion 42, the essence of the action of the adjustment member 71 is to make the adjustment portion 42 approach or move away from the base 3, which is manifested in that the adjustment member 71 can adjust the size of the local gap D. In addition, it should be noted that since three non-collinear points determine a plane, the two adjustment portions 42 and the fixing portion 41 should not be on a straight line. In this embodiment, the first sensor 62 is located at the symmetry center of the base 3 , and the two adjustment members 71 are in a centrosymmetric relationship with respect to the symmetry center of the base 3 .
[0034] Furthermore, considering the size and height of the adjusting member 71, in order to fully utilize the space of the leveling platform 4, the third space 53 is formed by the third lower space 531 provided on the base 3 and the third upper space 532 provided on the leveling platform 4. The height of the third space 53 is the sum of the third lower space 531, the third upper space 532 and the gap D. Similarly, the base 3 is also provided with a fourth lower space 541, and the leveling platform 4 is also provided with a fourth upper space 542. The fourth lower space 541 and the fourth upper space 542 are jointly surrounded to form a fourth space 54. Such a design is based on the consideration that compared with completely accommodating the adjusting member 71 by the base 3, accommodating the adjusting member 71 by the leveling platform 4 and the base 3 can fully utilize the space of the leveling platform 4, so that the height of the leveling module 2 is lower. In order to further reduce the height of the leveling module 2, the adjusting member 71 includes a driving source 72. The driving source 72 in this embodiment is arranged horizontally and is in communication with the control module 64. The adjusting member 71 also includes an action part 73 that can convert the horizontal power output by the driving source 72 into vertical power, so that the third upper space 532 moves in the vertical direction relative to the third lower space 531. Similarly, the adjusting member 71 can also move the fourth upper space 542 in the vertical direction relative to the fourth lower space 541. Such a design is based on the consideration that the length of the driving source 72 is usually greater than the width. Therefore, compared with the vertical arrangement of the driving source 72, the horizontal arrangement of the driving source 72 can make the leveling module 2 have a relatively lower height. In order to enable the adjustment member 71 to communicate with the detection mechanism 6, the base 3 is also provided with a second wire-passing portion 32 for connecting the second space 52 and the third lower space 531. Similarly, the base 3 is also provided with a third wire-passing portion 33 for connecting the second space 52 and the fourth lower space 541, so that each adjustment member 71 is communicatively connected with the control module 64. In this embodiment, the second wire-passing portion 32 actually connects the third lower space 531 and the first lower space 511, thereby indirectly connecting the second space 52 and the third lower space 531. Similarly, the third wire-passing portion 33 actually connects the fourth lower space 541 and the first lower space 511, thereby indirectly connecting the second space 52 and the fourth lower space 541.
[0035] The use process of the leveling module 2 provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0036] like Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the leveling module 2 is in the initial state, and no requirement is made for the relationship between the working plane N and the reference plane M, but usually at this time, the working plane N and the reference plane M are also maintained in a parallel relationship; see Figure 8, the object 14 to be processed is placed on the working plane N. Under the action of gravity, the working plane N is deflected relative to the reference plane M, and the leveling module 2 enters the deflection state. At this time, the control module 64 will receive and process the data from the first sensor 62 and the second sensor 63 and drive the adjustment mechanism 7 to adjust the working plane N; see Fig. 9 , the dotted line in the figure is Figure 8 At this time, under the action of the adjusting member 71, the corresponding adjusting portion 42 is away from the base 3, and the working plane N is adjusted to be parallel to the reference plane M.
