Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tool setting instruments, in particular to a fully enclosed automatic tool setting instrument protection mechanism. Background Art
[0002] The automatic tool setter is an essential inspection device for all automated equipment, machine tool processing centers, and CNC processing centers that require automatic tool change. Its main function is to check the length of the new tool when the equipment is automatically changing the tool and to make an accurate tool length compensation for the system coordinates. If dust and chips fall on the automatic tool setter, since the automatic tool setter is a precise sensing device, it will affect the tool setting accuracy of the automatic tool setter, resulting in the problem of inaccurate tool setting.
[0003] The publication number in the existing public technology is: CN217668239U. A fully enclosed automatic tool setting instrument protection device includes a fixed support frame, an automatic tool setting instrument body, and a protection mechanism. The protection mechanism includes a protective cover, a rotating cover plate, and a driving member for driving the rotating cover plate to rotate. The protective cover is arranged on the fixed support frame, and the automatic tool setting instrument body is arranged on the fixed support frame, and the automatic tool setting instrument body is located inside the protective cover. The driving member is arranged on the fixed support frame, and the driving member is located outside the protective cover. The rotating cover plate is rotatably connected to the fixed support frame through the driving member, and the rotation axis of the rotating cover plate is vertically arranged. The rotating cover plate can be covered on the top of the protective cover. The present application can reduce the probability of dust falling on the automatic tool setting instrument body and improve the tool setting accuracy of the automatic tool setting instrument body.
[0004] However, the above patent still has certain disadvantages when in use: it seals the top of the automatic tool setting instrument by rotating the cover plate, but when the cover plate is rotated and moved, the upper and lower surfaces are directly exposed to the air, which increases the probability of dust adhering to the upper and lower surfaces, and then causes the dust to fall onto the automatic tool setting instrument when it is subsequently returned to its original position, affecting the subsequent use accuracy, and the top of the rotating cover plate lacks blocking and cleaning measures, which makes the dust attached to it easy to fall off when moving, and then causes this part of the dust or debris to contact the automatic tool setting instrument, affecting the overall protection effect.
[0005] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Utility Model Content

[0026] To further illustrate each embodiment, the present invention provides drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments.

With reference to these contents, ordinary technicians in the field should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.
[0027] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a fully enclosed automatic tool setting instrument protection mechanism is provided.
[0028] The present invention is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Figure 1-4 As shown, a fully enclosed automatic tool setting instrument protection mechanism according to an embodiment of the utility model includes a mounting plate 1 and a protection box 2, the mounting plate 1 is welded with the protection box 2 at the top position, the protection box 2 is symmetrically provided with driving grooves 8 at the top positions on the two side surfaces inside the protection box 2, and bidirectional screws 10 and sliding rods are respectively installed inside the driving grooves 8, one end of the bidirectional screw 10 passes through one side of the protection box 2 and is connected to the motor 12, and a movable sealing strip 6 is symmetrically installed on the outer periphery of the bidirectional screw 10 and the sliding rod, a sealing plate 5 is welded at one side of the movable sealing strip 6, and the sealing plate 5 is symmetrically provided with two groups, one end of the sealing plate 5 is located on the surface of the protection box 2 to open a receiving groove 7, one end of the receiving groove 7 is located on the surface of the protection box 2 to install an isolation box 3, a partition 14 is installed at the middle position inside the isolation box 3, and separation chambers 15 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the partition 14 at the internal position of the isolation box 3, and a plurality of groups of suction holes 4 are evenly arranged at the top position inside the isolation box 3.
[0029] In one embodiment, a blocking bar 11 is installed around the top of the sealing plate 5. The blocking bar 11 is provided to form a surrounding area on the top of the sealing plate 5 to prevent dust on the surface from directly sliding off the surface due to vibration, thereby improving the dust blocking effect.
[0030] In one embodiment, a dust collector 13 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 1 .
[0031] In one embodiment, the vacuum cleaner 13 is connected to the suction hole 4 through a pipe. The vacuum cleaner 13 is provided to remove dust from the surface of the sealing plate 5 above. The vacuum cleaner 13 is a common device, so it will not be described in detail.
[0032] In one embodiment, an automatic tool setting instrument body 9 is installed inside the protection box 2. The automatic tool setting instrument body 9 is a common device, so it will not be described in detail.
[0033] In one embodiment, a slot is provided at the top of the protective box 2 for installing the automatic tool setting instrument body 9, and the slot size is the same as the size of the sealing plate 5. The slot size is set to ensure that the sealing plate 5 can smoothly perform the sealing operation on it and prevent the formation of gaps due to the slot size being too large.
[0034] Working principle: When performing the tool setting operation, the operation of the motor 12 can drive the bidirectional screw rod 10 to drive the operation. At this time, the movable sealing strips 6 on both sides can be synchronously moved to both sides, thereby driving the sealing plate 5 to move outward. At this time, the movable sealing plate 5 can be inserted into the isolation box 3 for storage, and then the automatic tool setting instrument body 9 can be exposed, which is convenient for the tool setting operation. Since the sealing plate 5 used for sealing is stored in the isolation box 3 when in use, its bottom can be prevented from being exposed to the air, reducing the contact area with the air, thereby reducing the area of dust adhesion in the air, and preventing dust from entering the protective box 2 through the bottom surface during subsequent resealing, and the sealing plate A blocking strip 11 is also provided around the top of 5 to prevent the dust on the top from moving outward due to vibration when moving, which can have a certain restraining effect on the dust, and when the sealing plate 5 moves to the isolation box 3, the vacuum cleaner 13 and the suction hole 4 can be used to suction the inside of the partition chamber 15, and then the dust attached to the surface can be removed by suction. In this way, when the sealing plate 5 is covered again later, the surface of the sealing plate 5 is clean and dust or debris will not vibrate and invade the inside of the protective box 2, which can effectively improve the overall protection effect, so that the automatic tool setting instrument main body 9 can be used more accurately. The device as a whole has the advantages of good protection effect, less dust contact surface, and expanded isolation.
