Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a machine tool tool for processing hole-type workpieces, a device and a method for detecting the size of workpiece circular holes, in particular to a method for detecting the size of workpiece circular holes without stopping the machine and a method for alarming tool wear. Background Art

[0002] Currently, after a workpiece hole is machined, additional equipment or expensive visual inspection is required to verify that the hole meets the required dimensions. This is often done with other equipment, lacking the machine tool's own built-in inspection devices or structures. Technologically skilled personnel are exploring how to perform workpiece dimensional inspection and tool wear alarms without stopping the machine. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a machine tool that can detect the size of the circular hole of the workpiece without stopping the machine. It can monitor the size status of the circular hole of the workpiece in real time and detect tool wear or damage in time, thereby improving production efficiency and processing accuracy.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a machine tool capable of detecting the size of a circular hole in a workpiece without stopping, comprising a machine tool housing, a machine head for mounting a chuck, an automatic loading device for the workpiece, and a tool holder device, wherein the tool holder device comprises a motor-driven carriage, the carriage being equipped with a tool holder and an automatic detection device; the automatic detection device comprises an automatic circular hole diameter detection device, the circular hole diameter detection device comprising a second rotating shaft connected to a through gauge, the second rotating shaft being connected to a second connecting rod device, the second connecting rod device comprising a disc connected to the second rotating shaft, the side of the disc being connected to a second elastic rod, and the second elastic rod being connected to a second sensor. The automatic circular hole diameter detection device matches the circular hole on the workpiece with a through gauge, and the through gauge can not only clean the cutting powder in the circular hole, but can also determine whether the circular hole meets the technical requirements through the magnitude of the rotational force exerted on the second elastic rod through the second sensor, thereby achieving the technical purpose of detecting the size of the circular hole in the workpiece without stopping. The utility model is a machine tool for detecting the size of a circular hole in a workpiece without stopping. The tool holder and the automatic detection device are installed on the carriage. The tool on the tool holder completes the chip cutting of the workpiece, and then the circular hole size of each workpiece is detected by the automatic detection device. Therefore, the size detection of each workpiece is completed on the machine tool, which reduces the need for additional detection equipment and secondary detection work, thereby improving the workpiece processing efficiency and product yield. The circular hole size detection of each workpiece by the automatic detection device indirectly reflects the wear of the cutting tool. As long as the workpiece is within the specified size range, it means that the cutting tool is within the normal range. Once the detection alarm is issued, it means that the cutting tool is excessively worn and needs to be replaced. The wear of the tool is discovered in time to avoid the production of batches of unqualified products.

[0005] The outer periphery of the second rotating shaft is provided with a first rubber pad and a second box body, and the side of the second box body is connected to the protective cover of the second connecting rod device; the rod body of the second elastic rod is a third spring, and the outer periphery of the third spring is sleeved with the second sensor. The rotational force of different forces applied to the third spring determines whether the second sensor triggers the machine tool to generate an alarm, which not only detects the aperture of the circular hole, but also automatically determines the status of the cutting tool.

[0006] The automatic detection device includes an automatic hole expansion detection device, which includes a third rotating shaft connected to a reamer, which is connected to a third connecting rod assembly, which includes a third swing arm connected to the third rotating shaft, the third swing arm connected to one end of a fourth spring via a third screw, the other end of the fourth spring connected to a fourth screw, the fourth screw connected to a first elastic force adjustment bracket, and the first elastic force adjustment bracket connected to a third housing; the third swing arm cooperates with a first sensing rod that contacts a third sensor. The automatic hole expansion detection device cooperates with a reamer to expand the circular hole in a workpiece. The reamer not only re-expands the circular hole to remove residual cutting powder, but also uses the rotational force exerted on the third swing arm to determine whether the circular hole meets technical requirements via a third sensor, thereby achieving the technical purpose of detecting the circular hole size in the workpiece without stopping the machine.

[0007] The first elastic force adjustment bracket is provided with more than two second adjustment holes, and the second adjustment holes are matched with the fourth screw. By adjusting the different connection distances between the second adjustment hole and the fourth spring, the adjustment of different sensing cutting forces required for different circular hole enlargements is achieved to solve the adaptive detection performance of the automatic detection device for different circular holes; the first sensing rod is a spring rod, which avoids damage to the first sensing rod during the contact process and extends the service life of the sensor and the reliability of the sensing; the third sensor is connected to the second connecting rod through the second connecting column, and the second connecting rod is connected to the first elastic force adjustment bracket or the third box. The second connecting rod and the first sensing rod are parallel to each other, and the distance between the first sensing rod and the second connecting rod is the swing range of the third swing arm. The adjustment of the distance between the second connecting rod and the first sensing rod realizes the adjustment ability of the detection range of the automatic circular hole detection device.

[0008] A second sleeve is sleeved in the middle of the third rotating shaft, and second rubber pads are sleeved at both the front and rear ends of the second sleeve. This second rubber pad structure prevents damage to the workpiece caused by the reamer impacting the workpiece. A second positioning screw is connected to the outer periphery of the second sleeve, which connects the third housing and the third rotating shaft. This second positioning screw structure can limit the position of the second rotating shaft to prevent accidental deflection of the second rotating shaft.

[0009] A method for detecting the size of a circular hole in a workpiece without stopping the machine, the method comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: The workpiece is machined into a circular hole by a cutting tool on a tool holder;

[0011] Step 2: For the processed circular hole, only the aperture is detected. An automatic circular hole diameter detection device is selected to fit the circular hole with a through gauge. When the circular hole meets the design requirements, the second rotating shaft drives the second elastic rod connected to the side of the circular disc to rotate at an angle insufficient to trigger the second sensor. When the circular hole is too small, the second rotating shaft drives the second elastic rod connected to the side of the circular disc to rotate and trigger the second sensor. The machine tool displays the detection result and an alarm is processed, indicating that the cutting tool is worn or damaged and needs to be replaced.

[0012] When the processed circular hole needs to be enlarged and the hole diameter is automatically detected, the automatic enlargement detection device cooperates with the circular hole through the reamer. When the circular hole meets the design requirements, the reamer drives the third rotating shaft to rotate, but the rotation angle does not trigger the first sensing rod of the third sensor; when the circular hole is too small, the reamer drives the third rotating shaft to rotate, triggering the first sensing rod of the third sensor, and the machine tool displays the detection result and alarms. This indicates that the cutting tool is worn or damaged and needs to be replaced.

[0013] Using the above-mentioned technical solution, a machine tool that detects the size of a workpiece's circular hole without stopping uses a tool holder and an automatic detection device mounted on a carriage. The tool on the tool holder completes the chipping of the workpiece, and then the automatic detection device detects the size of the workpiece's circular hole on each workpiece. This allows each workpiece to complete the size detection on the machine tool, reducing the need for additional detection equipment and secondary inspection work, thereby improving workpiece processing efficiency and product yield. The automatic detection device indirectly reflects the wear of the cutting tool by detecting the size of the workpiece's circular hole on each workpiece. As long as the workpiece is within the specified size range, the cutting tool is within the normal range. Once a detection alarm is issued, it indicates that the cutting tool is excessively worn and needs to be replaced. Tool wear can be detected in a timely manner to avoid the production of batches of unqualified products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] As a preferred structure, the automatic detection device also includes an automatic hole expansion detection device 30, which includes a third rotating shaft 44 connected to the reamer 28, and the third rotating shaft 44 is connected to the third connecting rod device.
