Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0046] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or mutual communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] See also Figure 1 The present application embodiment provides a tool-changing-free processing device 100, which is used for processing a workpiece 2000 (see Figure 4 ) for detection and processing. The tool-change-free processing device 100 includes a tool-change-free auxiliary mechanism 10, a tool 20 and a probe 30. The tool 20 and the probe 30 are both arranged on the tool-change-free auxiliary mechanism 10. The probe 30 is used to detect the position of the workpiece 2000, and the tool 20 processes the workpiece 2000 according to the information detected by the probe 30. By arranging both the tool 20 and the probe 30 on the tool-change-free auxiliary mechanism 10, the tool-change-free processing device 100 can achieve the effect of detecting and processing the workpiece 2000 on the one hand, and avoid frequent replacement of the tool 20 and the probe 30 on the other hand, thereby reducing the tool-changing time and improving the processing efficiency. It can be understood that the "tool-change-free" can be understood as the tool-change-free processing device 100 does not need to switch between the tool 20 and the probe 30 during the process of processing a workpiece 2000 or a workpiece 2000 of the same type. Obviously, when the tool-changing-free processing device 100 is actually used, different tools 20 can be replaced according to different processing objects, processing requirements, processing processes, etc., that is, other types of tools 20 can be replaced.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the tool-changing-free auxiliary mechanism 10 includes a main body 11, a connecting component 12 and a clamping member 13.

[0050] The body 11 includes a fixing member 111 and a rotating shaft 112 rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fixing member 111, wherein the fixing member 111 can be connected to an external lathe (not shown), and the external lathe can drive the tool-changing-free processing device 100 to move by driving the fixing member 111 to move, and the rotating shaft 112 is used to connect the tool 20, and the rotating shaft 112 rotates under the drive of the external lathe and is used to drive the tool 20 to rotate, so that the tool 20 processes the workpiece 2000. The connecting component 12 is connected to the side end of the fixing member 111 and extends away from the fixing member 111, and the connecting component 12 is roughly vertically connected to the fixing member 111. The clamping member 13 is connected to one end of the connecting component 12 away from the fixing member 111, and the clamping member 13 is used to clamp the probe 30 so that the probe 30 and the tool 20 are arranged in parallel.

[0051] In this way, by setting the tool 20 and the probe 30 in parallel, when the probe 30 needs to be used to detect the workpiece 2000 or the tool 20 needs to be used to process the workpiece 2000, the tool-changing-free processing device 100 can be driven to move by the external lathe. It should be noted that the distance between the tool 20 and the probe 30 is relatively fixed. By accurately measuring the distance between the tool 20 and the probe 30 and transmitting the measured value to the external lathe, the external lathe can compensate the position offset of the probe 30 relative to the rotating shaft 112 to the origin of the probe 30 detection path according to the measured value, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the probe 30 and the processing accuracy of the tool 20, and improving the processing accuracy of the tool-changing-free processing device 100. In addition, by setting the connecting component 12 at the side end of the fixing member 111, the connecting component 12, the clamping member 13 and the probe 30 will not cause any irreversible modification to the main body 11 and the external lathe, nor will they affect the normal use of the rotating shaft 112. The tool-changing auxiliary mechanism 10 has a simple structure and is easy to install. Since the probe 30 is separated from the tool 20, there will be no interference between the probe 30 and the tool 20. Moreover, since the probe 30 is separated from the tool 20, the probe 30 and the tool 20 can also avoid interference with other objects.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting component 12 includes a first piece 121, a second piece 122 and a third piece 123. The first piece 121, the second piece 122 and the third piece 123 are all roughly plate-shaped objects. The first piece 121 is connected to the side end of the fixing piece 111, the second piece 122 is arranged on the side of the first piece 121 away from the fixing piece 111 and is connected to the clamping piece 13. There are two third pieces 123, and the two third pieces 123 are arranged at intervals and are both connected between the first piece 121 and the second piece 122. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the connecting component 12, the connecting component 12 can be connected between the fixing member 111 and the probe 30, and the structure of the connecting component 12 is stable, which can ensure that the distance between the probe 30 and the rotating shaft 112 is not easy to change; in addition, by setting the first member 121, the second member 122 and the third member 123, the connecting component 12 roughly forms a hollow frame structure, which reduces the weight of the connecting component 12 and reduces the load effect on the rotating shaft 112 caused by the unbalanced weight of the connecting component 12. It can be understood that the load effect can be understood as the situation that the rotating shaft 112 of the body 11 is unbalanced when rotating due to the unbalanced weight of the connecting component 12.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the connection assembly 12 further includes a fastener 124, and the first piece 121 is connected to the side end of the fixing piece 111 through the fastener 124. Specifically, the size of the first piece 121 is larger than the size of the second piece 122, and the fastener 124 can be a screw. The number of the fasteners 124 is four, and the four fasteners 124 pass through the two side edges of the first piece 121 and are threadedly connected to the side end of the fixing piece 111. In this way, by providing the above-mentioned fasteners 124, the connection between the first piece 121 and the side end of the fixing piece 111 is achieved. It can be understood that the first piece 121 and the side end of the fixing piece 111 can also be connected by welding or gluing.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the first piece 121, the second piece 122 and the third piece 123 of the connecting assembly 12 are all provided with weight-reducing holes 125. Thus, by providing the weight-reducing holes 125 on the first piece 121, the second piece 122 and the third piece 123, the weight of the connecting assembly 12 is further reduced, thereby further reducing the load effect on the rotating shaft 112 caused by the unbalanced weight of the connecting assembly 12.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the first member 121, the second member 122, and the third member 123 of the connecting assembly 12 and the clamping member 13 are all made of aluminum alloy. Thus, by limiting the connection assembly 12 and the clamping member 13 to be made of aluminum alloy, the weight of the connection assembly 12 and the clamping member 13 is further reduced, thereby further reducing the load effect on the rotating shaft 112 caused by the unbalanced weight of the connection assembly 12 and the clamping member 13.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 In the embodiment of the present application, a conical hole 131 is provided on one side of the clamping member 13 for clamping the probe 30. The conical hole 131 is gradually reduced in radial dimension along its depth direction, and the clamping member 13 is adapted to accommodate the probe 30 through the conical hole 131. In this way, by providing the conical hole 131 on the clamping member 13, on the one hand, the probe 30 is guided by the conical hole 131 to ensure the installation accuracy of the probe 30, and on the other hand, the conical hole 131 ensures that the probe 30 is inserted vertically with the clamping member 13, thereby ensuring that the probe 30 is arranged parallel to the tool 20. It can be understood that after the clamping member 13 is used for a long time and the conical hole 131 is worn, the probe 30 can be fine-tuned in the conical hole 131 using a silicon steel sheet to ensure that the probe 30 is inserted vertically with the clamping member 13.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping member 13 is provided with an embedded hole 132 on the side away from the probe 30, and the clamping member 13 is provided with a through hole 133 connecting the embedded hole 132 and the tapered hole 131, and the size of the through hole 133 is smaller than the size of the embedded hole 132 and the size of the tapered hole 131. The tool-changing-free auxiliary mechanism 10 also includes a connecting member 14, which can be a screw. The connecting member 14 is received in the embedded hole 132 and passes through the through hole 133 to connect with the probe 30 in the tapered hole 131. In this way, by providing the above-mentioned embedded hole 132, through hole 133 and setting the above-mentioned connecting member 14, the probe 30 can be received on the clamping member 13 by connecting with the connecting member 14. In addition, by providing the embedded hole 132, the weight of the clamping member 13 can also be reduced, thereby further reducing the load effect on the rotating shaft 112 caused by the unbalanced weight of the connecting assembly 12 and the clamping member 13.

[0058] See also Figure 4The embodiment of the present application also provides a processing equipment 1000, which is used to process a workpiece 2000. The processing equipment 1000 includes the above-mentioned tool-changing-free processing device 100. It can be understood that the processing equipment 1000 can also include a lathe, which is connected to the fixing part 111 of the tool-changing-free processing device 100. The lathe drives the tool-changing-free processing device 100 to move as a whole and drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate. In this way, the tool-changing-free processing device 100 of the processing equipment 1000 sets the tool 20 and the probe 30 in parallel. When the probe 30 needs to be used to detect the workpiece 2000 or the tool 20 needs to be used to process the workpiece 2000, the tool-changing-free processing device 100 can be driven to move by the lathe. It should be noted that the distance between the tool 20 and the probe 30 is relatively fixed. By accurately measuring the distance between the tool 20 and the probe 30 and transmitting the measured value to the lathe, the lathe can compensate the position offset of the probe 30 relative to the rotating shaft 112 to the origin of the detection path of the probe 30 according to the measured value, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the probe 30 and the processing accuracy of the tool 20, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the processing equipment 1000. In addition, by setting the connecting component 12 at the side end of the fixing member 111, the connecting component 12, the clamping member 13 and the probe 30 will not cause any irreversible modification to the main body 11 and the lathe, nor will they affect the normal use of the rotating shaft 112. The tool-changing auxiliary mechanism 10 has a simple structure and is easy to install. Since the probe 30 is separated from the tool 20, there will be no interference between the probe 30 and the tool 20. Moreover, since the probe 30 is separated from the tool 20, the probe 30 and the tool 20 can also avoid interference with other objects.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the processing equipment 1000 further includes a carrying device 200, which is arranged corresponding to the tool-free processing device 100, and is located below the tool-free processing device 100. The carrying device 200 is used to carry the workpiece 2000 to be processed, and the tool-free processing device 100 detects and processes the workpiece 2000 in cooperation with the rotating shaft 112, the tool 20 and the probe 30. The carrying device 200 can be a bench vise or other functional mechanism capable of carrying the workpiece 2000 to be processed.
