[0022] Embodiment 2:

[0023] A corresponding first detection mechanism 9 is installed between the outer surface of the first rectangular frame 2 and the side plate 4.

[0024] Embodiment 3:

[0025] A second detection mechanism 10 corresponding to the tool holder 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the side plate 4. The second detection mechanism 10 includes a second rectangular frame 101 fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the side plate 4. A first motor 102 is fixedly installed on the top of the second rectangular frame 101. The output shaft of the first motor 102 is fixedly connected to a first screw rod 103 rotatably connected to the second rectangular frame 101. The outer surface of the first screw rod 103 is threadedly connected to a first slider 104 slidably connected to the inner wall of the second rectangular frame 101. A third distance measuring sensor 105 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the first slider 104, and the third distance measuring sensor 105 corresponds to the tool holder 8. The rotation of the first motor 102 drives the first screw rod 103 to rotate, and drives the first slider 104 and the third distance measuring sensor 105 to move up and down through the thread, so that the third distance measuring sensor 105 corresponds to the tool holder 8. When the tool holder 8 and the sheet metal processing motor 7 are offset during sheet metal workpiece processing, maintenance can be carried out in time.

[0026] A third detection mechanism 11 for detecting sheet metal workpieces is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the processing table 1. The third detection mechanism 11 includes two electric push rods 111 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the processing table 1. The movable ends of the two electric push rods 111 are fixedly connected to a third rectangular frame 112. A second motor 113 is fixedly installed on the top of the third rectangular frame 112.

A fourth distance measuring sensor 116 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the second slider 115, and the fourth distance measuring sensor 116 corresponds to the sheet metal workpiece. The two electric push rods 111 are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the third rectangular frame 112 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the processing table 1. The operation of the electric push rods 111 drives the fourth distance measuring sensor 116 to move horizontally, and the operation of the second motor 113 can drive the fourth distance measuring sensor 116 to move up and down, so that both sides of the sheet metal workpiece can be monitored, and whether the sheet metal workpiece is offset during processing can be monitored, so that maintenance can be carried out in time, thereby solving the problem that the existing positioning mechanism can only position the workpiece but cannot monitor whether the sheet metal workpiece and the tool are offset during processing.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, the sheet metal tool is fixed on the processing table 1 of the CNC machine tool through an external clamp, and then the corresponding longitudinal drive unit 3, transverse drive unit 5 and up and down drive unit 6 are started according to the processing position of the sheet metal workpiece. The longitudinal drive unit 3, transverse drive unit 5 and up and down drive unit 6 are set to facilitate the tool to move forward and backward, left and right, and up and down, so as to facilitate the processing of different positions of the sheet metal workpiece.

[0028] When the tool moves, the first ranging sensor can monitor the position of the side plate 4, and the second ranging sensor 92 can monitor the position of the active end of the transverse drive unit 5, so as to monitor the forward and backward and left and right movement values ​​of the sheet metal processing motor 7, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the sheet metal workpiece during processing, and also monitoring whether the side plate 4 and the active end of the transverse drive unit 5 move when the sheet metal workpiece is being processed, thereby improving practicality and solving the problem that the existing positioning mechanism can only monitor the left and right position but not the front and back position, thereby reducing practicality.

[0029] During processing, the first motor 102 rotates to drive the first screw rod 103 to rotate, and drives the first slider 104 and the third distance measuring sensor 105 to move up and down through the thread, so that the third distance measuring sensor 105 corresponds to the tool holder 8, and can monitor whether the tool holder 8 and the sheet metal processing motor 7 are offset during sheet metal workpiece processing, so that maintenance can be carried out in time. The operation of the electric push rod 111 drives the fourth distance measuring sensor 116 to move horizontally, and the operation of the second motor 113 can drive the fourth distance measuring sensor 116 to move up and down, so that both sides of the sheet metal workpiece can be monitored, and whether the sheet metal workpiece is offset during processing can be monitored, so that maintenance can be carried out in time, thereby solving the problem that the existing positioning mechanism can only position the workpiece but cannot monitor whether the sheet metal workpiece and the tool are offset during processing.

[0030] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims rather than the above description, and it is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims. Any figure mark in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.

[0031] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
