[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a monitoring device for the straightness of a machine tool. Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a monitoring device for the straightness of a machine tool, including a machine tool main body 1, a base plate 3 and an L-shaped calibration plate 7. Electric telescopic rods one 26 are installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 3 near the two sides. One ends of the two electric telescopic rods one 26 are fixedly installed with L-shaped connecting plates 21. The upper ends of the two L-shaped connecting plates 21 are fixedly connected with a loop frame 5. A reciprocating lead screw 6 is rotatably connected inside the loop frame 5. A slide block 18 is sleeved outside the reciprocating lead screw 6, and the upper end of the slide block 18 is fixedly connected with the L-shaped calibration plate 7. A slide groove 11 is penetrated through the upper surface of the L-shaped calibration plate 7. A slide bar 12 is fixedly installed inside the slide groove 11. A movable block 13 is sleeved outside the slide bar 12. The bottom surface of the movable block 13 is fixedly connected with an L-shaped support plate 29. An electric telescopic rod two 28 is installed on the bottom surface of the L-shaped support plate 29. A laser rangefinder 17 is installed at one end of the electric telescopic rod two 28. A control panel 8 is installed on the outer side wall of the L-shaped calibration plate 7. Two support mechanisms 27 are arranged on the outer side walls of the two L-shaped connecting plates 21. Guide rails 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the machine tool main body 1 near the two sides. A counterweight 4 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper surface of the base plate 3.

[0031] A display screen 9 is installed at a position near the upper part of the outer wall of the control panel 8, and a control module 10 is installed at a position near the lower part of the outer wall of the control panel 8. The output end of the laser rangefinder 17 is electrically connected to the input end of the control module 10, and the output end of the control module 10 is electrically connected to the output end of the display screen 9. The data measured by the laser rangefinder 17 are all transmitted to the control module 10, and then transmitted by the control module 10 to the display screen 9 installed on the control panel 8, and the measured data are displayed by the display screen 9 for the staff to view.

[0032] A motor is installed on the outer wall of the loop-shaped frame 5. The output end of the motor is connected to one end of the reciprocating lead screw 6. Long slots 16 are respectively formed on the upper surface of the L-shaped calibration plate 7 near both sides. The upper surface of the movable block 13 is fixedly connected with a mounting shell 14. Rotating wheels 15 are rotatably connected to both outer walls of the mounting shell 14, and the rotating wheels 15 are fitted with the long slots 16. Motors are installed on both inner walls of the mounting shell 14. The output ends of the two groups of motors are respectively connected to the rotating wheels 15. The two groups of rotating wheels 15 are driven to rotate by the motors installed in the mounting shell 14, so that the rotating wheels 15 move along the long slots 16, driving the movable block 13 to move along the slide bar 12 installed in the slide groove 11, thereby driving the L-shaped support plate 29 and the second electric telescopic rod 28 to move with the movable block 13.

[0033] During use, first, the electric telescopic rod II 28 drives the laser rangefinder 17 to move to a position close to one side of the guide rail 2. Then, the motor installed in the mounting shell 14 drives the two groups of runners 15 to rotate, causing the runners 15 to move along the long groove 16, driving the movable block 13 to move along the slide rod 12 installed in the chute 11, thereby driving the L-shaped support plate 29 and the electric telescopic rod II 28 to move following the movable block 13. This can drive the laser rangefinder 17 to move on one side of the guide rail 2 on the machine tool main body 1, and the distance between it and the guide rail 2 can be measured, thus realizing the monitoring of the straightness of the guide rail 2. Moreover, the data measured by the laser rangefinder 17 are all transmitted to the control module 10, and then transmitted by the control module 10 to the display screen 9 installed on the control panel 8, and the measurement data are displayed by the display screen 9 for the staff to view. Also, by driving the electric telescopic rod II 28, the laser rangefinder 17 can be lifted. Then, by driving the reciprocating lead screw 6 to rotate with the motor installed on the return frame 5, the slider 18 can be driven to move inside the return frame 5, thereby driving the L-shaped calibration plate 7 to move on the machine tool main body 1, driving the laser rangefinder 17 to move to a position close to the other group of guide rails 2. Then, similarly, by driving the electric telescopic rod II 28, the laser rangefinder 17 can be moved to a position close to one side of the other group of guide rails 2. Similarly, by the cooperation of the motor and the runners 15, the laser rangefinder 17 can be driven to move along one side of this group of guide rails 2 for distance measurement, realizing the monitoring of the straightness of the other group of guide rails 2. Through the above operations, the position of the laser rangefinder 17 can be adjusted automatically and conveniently, and the distance of each guide rail 2 on the machine tool main body 1 can be monitored, effectively improving the efficiency of the monitoring work;

[0034] Among them, the model of the laser rangefinder 17 is XR1200.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 5 , the support mechanism 27 includes a support plate 19. The support plate 19 is arranged above the bottom plate 3. One end of the support plate 19 is inserted with an adjusting plate 20. A plurality of groups of fixing screw holes are formed on the outer side wall of the adjusting plate 20. One end of the support plate 19 close to the adjusting plate 20 is inserted with a fixing bolt 23, and the fixing bolt 23 is fitted with the fixing screw holes. One end of the adjusting plate 20 far from the support plate 19 is inserted with a screw rod 22. A nut is sleeved on the outer part of the screw rod 22. A screw groove is formed on the outer side wall of the L-shaped connecting plate 21, and the screw groove is fitted with the screw rod 22. One end of the screw rod 22 is fixed to the L-shaped connecting plate 21 through the screw groove. When the nut is tightened on the screw rod 22, the position between one end of the adjusting plate 20 and the L-shaped connecting plate 21 can be fixed, and one end of the adjusting plate 20 can also rotate with the L-shaped connecting plate 21 through the screw rod 22.

[0036] One end of the support plate 19 away from the adjusting plate 20 is hinged to a fixing plate 24. A fixing nail 25 is inserted into the upper surface of the fixing plate 24. A fixing hole is formed in the upper surface of the bottom plate 3 and at a position directly below the fixing nail 25. The fixing hole is fitted with the fixing nail 25. Inserting one end of the fixing nail 25 through the fixing plate 24 and into the fixing hole can fix the position between one end of the support plate 19 and the bottom plate 3.

[0037] Specifically, when using this monitoring device to conduct linear monitoring on the machine tool, the bottom plate 3 can be placed on the ground near one side of the machine tool main body 1. Then, the two groups of electric telescopic rods 26 drive the L-shaped connecting plate 21 to move upward. Adjust the height of the L-shaped calibration plate 7 according to the machine tool main body 1 with different heights, so that this monitoring device can adapt to machine tool main bodies 1 with various heights, and make the L-shaped calibration plate 7 flush with one side of the machine tool main body 1. Then move the support plate 19 along the outside of the adjusting plate 20, drive the bottom surface of the fixing plate 24 installed at one end of it to closely adhere to the upper surface of the bottom plate 3, and insert one end of the fixing bolt 23 through the support plate 19 and rotate it into the corresponding fixing screw hole formed in the adjusting plate 20 to fix the position between the support plate 19 and the adjusting plate 20. At this time, insert one end of the fixing nail 25 through the fixing plate 24 and into the fixing hole, which can fix the position between one end of the support plate 19 and the bottom plate 3. Then tighten the nut along the screw rod 22 to squeeze and fix the position between the adjusting plate 20 and the L-shaped connecting plate 21. Similarly, the same operation can be performed on the other three groups of support mechanisms 27, which can well support and reinforce the L-shaped connecting plate 21, and cooperate with the weight of the counterweight 4, thereby making the support effect on the return frame 5 and the L-shaped calibration plate 7 more firm, and avoiding the device from shaking during the subsequent movement of the laser rangefinder 17, which affects the accuracy of monitoring.
