[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] The present invention provides two technical solutions:

[0029] Figures 1 to 3 The first implementation mode is shown: a robot tool setting point auxiliary calibration device, including:

[0030] A mounting plate 1, on which four threaded holes 2 are symmetrically opened;

[0031] A slider 3, slidably connected above the mounting plate 1;

[0032] A moving seat 4, fixed above the slider 3, and the bottom of the moving seat 4 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting plate 1;

[0033] A calibration plate 5, slidably connected to the inner wall above the moving seat 4, a calibration hole 6 is opened on the calibration plate 5, and both sides of the calibration hole 6 are provided with inverted rounded corners. An elevating assembly for driving the calibration plate 5 to lift in the moving seat 4 is installed on the inner wall of the moving seat 4;

[0034] A moving assembly, installed on the mounting plate 1, for driving the slider 3 to perform linear movement on the mounting plate 1.

[0035] The elevating assembly includes a first screw 7 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the moving seat 4. The outer wall of the first screw 7 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the calibration plate 5. A worm gear 8 is fixed to the outer wall of the lower end of the first screw 7. A worm 9 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the moving seat 4. The worm gear 8 is meshed with the worm 9. One end of the worm 9 penetrates through the moving seat 4 and is fixed with a first knob 14. A reinforcing sleeve 13 is fixed to one side of the moving seat 4 close to the first knob 14. The inner wall of the reinforcing sleeve 13 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the worm 9.

[0036] During the machining or operation of the robot, the accuracy of the tool setting point is crucial. If there are large errors in the tool setting point, it will affect the machining accuracy. This device realizes the precise lifting of the calibration plate 5 by setting the first screw 7, worm gear 8 and worm 9, thereby ensuring the precise calibration of the tool setting point.

[0037] During the machining or operation of the robot, the accuracy of the tool setting point is crucial. If there are large errors in the tool setting point, it will affect the machining accuracy. This device realizes the precise lifting of the calibration plate 5 by setting the first screw 7, worm gear 8 and worm 9, thereby ensuring the precise calibration of the tool setting point.

[0038] Figures 1 to 2 The second implementation mode is shown, and the main difference from the first implementation mode is:

[0039] The moving component includes a second screw 10 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 1. One end of the second screw 10 penetrates through the mounting plate 1 and is fixed with a second knob 11. The slider 3 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second screw 10.

[0040] A central groove 12 is formed on one side of the mounting plate 1 facing away from the second knob 11.

[0041] By setting the moving component, this device can not only realize the lifting of the calibration hole 6 but also realize the flexible linear movement of the calibration hole 6, so as to adapt to the tool setting requirements of different positions and angles, and it is also convenient to adapt to various types of tool heads installed at the moving end of the robot, with strong applicability.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] Align the central groove 12 on the mounting plate 1 with the center line of the robot TCP measurement position, and install the mounting plate 1 through the four threaded holes 2.

[0045] When tool setting is required, make the tool head at the moving end of the robot pass through the calibration hole 6, and then run the tool setting program to make the robot start to run. Record the position after making the tool head at the moving end of the robot move in four directions and make contact. Finally, calculate the four-point recorded data and write it into the system, thereby completing the tool setting work for the robot.

[0046] To adapt to various types of tool heads at the moving end of the robot, the tool setting point can be adjusted according to the tool setting requirements; rotating the first knob 14 can make the worm 9 rotate, and the worm wheel 8 rotates accordingly to drive the first screw rod 7 to rotate, so that the calibration plate 5 moves up and down inside the moving seat 4; rotating the second knob 11 makes the second screw rod 10 rotate, then the slider 3 moves on the mounting plate 1, driving the moving seat 4 to move linearly, and the calibration plate 5 moves accordingly.
