Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of numerical control machine tool measurement, in particular to a device for measuring RTCP of a five-axis machine tool and a machine tool. Background Art

[0002] RTCP is the abbreviation of "Rotary Tool Center Point", which means the center point of the rotary tool. In the machining of five-axis machine tools, RTCP refers to the measurement of the center point of the tool path. Measuring RTCP is to ensure that the five-axis machine tool can accurately control the tool path during the machining process and guarantee the accuracy and quality of the machined parts. In the prior art, a magnetic base is often used during testing. Since the base is long and prone to deformation, it affects the measurement accuracy; when measuring in different directions, the direction of the base needs to be changed multiple times, which affects the measurement efficiency; when the suction position of the dial indicator is on the rotating axis, the base and the dial indicator will rotate in three-dimensional space during the measurement of RTCP. The base is a connecting rod structure. At this time, the base and the dial indicator will generate lateral forces in different directions due to self-weight deformation and keep changing, seriously affecting the measurement accuracy or even causing failure.

[0027] Figures 1 to 4 The device and machine tool for measuring RTCP of a five-axis machine tool according to the present invention include a measuring body 10 and a fixed base 20. The measuring body 10 includes a meter head 101 and a measuring end 102. The meter head 101 is located on the fixed base 20 and fixedly connected to the fixed base 20. The number of measuring bodies 10 is multiple, and the measuring bodies 10 are located in three different directions. Each measuring body 10 points to the same point along the extension line of the measuring end 102, and an included angle is formed by the intersection of the extension lines of every two measuring bodies 10 along the measuring end 102.

[0028] In some other preferred embodiments, the measuring body 10 is a dial indicator or a sensor, and together with measuring software, it can perform automatic measurement and correction.

[0029] Specifically, the number of measuring bodies 10 is three, and the included angle is 90 degrees.

[0030] The fixed base 20 includes a plurality of inclined surfaces 201, and the inclined surfaces 201 are concave platforms.

[0031] Specifically, the cross-sectional dimension of the inclined surface 201 in the transverse direction fits the cross-sectional dimension of the measuring surface of the measuring body 10, and can clamp the measuring body 10 tightly.

[0032] The fixed base 20 further includes multiple groups of clamping blocks 202. One side of each clamping block 202 is provided with a radian, specifically, the radian is adapted to the radian of the outer cross-section of the measuring body 10.

[0033] The fixed base 20 further includes a plurality of clamping blocks 202. The clamping blocks 202 are fixedly connected to the fixed base 20. One side of each clamping block 202 is provided with a radian, and the radian is adapted to the radian of the outer cross-section of the measuring body 10.

[0034] Specifically, one side of the clamping block 202 is connected, and the other side is open to form a flat U shape, and the two sides of the flat U shape are close to each other.

[0035] Specifically, the number of the clamping blocks 202 is the same as the number of the measuring bodies 10.

[0036] Specifically, the number of the clamping blocks 202 is three.

[0037] Specifically, the clamping block 202 that fits the inclined surface 201 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 20 by being bolted to the inclined surface 201.
