[0030] Figure 1-Figure 5 A second embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the first embodiment is that a mounting plate 23 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate 21, a first measuring gauge 24 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting plate 23, a second measuring gauge 27 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the tool box 25, and a through slot 28 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the tool box 25.

The top ends of the two springs 214 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 215, and the bottom ends of the two springs 214 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 211. The outer wall of the fixed plate 211 is provided with a third measuring gauge 212. The milling cutter can drive the movable plate 215 to move on the sliding rod 213. The third measuring gauge 212 can detect its moving distance. At the same time, when the measurement is completed, the spring 214 can reset the movable plate 215.
[0032] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0033] During operation, when the milling cutter needs to be set, in order to prevent the iron filings and impurities attached to the milling cutter from affecting the setting accuracy, the milling cutter can be controlled to move into the rotating cylinder 33, and then the rotating plate is rotated according to the diameter of the tool. The rotating plate drives the threaded screw 35 to rotate, and the threaded screw 35 then drives the slider 36 and the connecting rod 37 to move, and the connecting rod 37 drives the cleaning soft brush 38 to move, so that the cleaning soft brush 38 can contact the surface of the milling cutter, so that the cleaning soft brush 38 can adapt to milling cutters of different diameters. Then, the motor 311 is turned on, and the motor 311 drives the gear 312 to rotate, and the gear 312 drives the rotating cylinder 33 and the internal cleaning soft brush 38 to rotate through the outer gear ring 39. , the cleaning soft brush 38 can clean the iron chips and impurities on the surface of the milling cutter during the rotation process, so that the iron chips and impurities fall down, thereby improving the subsequent tool setting accuracy of the milling cutter. Then the iron chips and impurities will fall into the collection box 32 below, which is convenient for subsequent processing of these iron chips and impurities. When the milling cutter is cleaned, the milling cutter is moved to the L-shaped tool setting reference plate 210 and the moving plate 215. At this time, the milling cutter is used to push the L-shaped tool setting reference plate 210. The L-shaped tool setting reference plate 210 drives the push plate 26 to move in the tool setting box 25 through the push rod 29, so that the push plate 26 contacts the second measuring table 27, and the moving distance of the L-shaped tool setting reference plate 210 is read on the second measuring table 27. Then the milling cutter moves from the other side. The L-shaped tool setting reference plate 210 is pushed sideways to drive the tool setting box 25 to move toward the first measuring table 24, so that the tool setting box 25 contacts the first measuring table 24, and then the moving distance of the tool setting box 25 is read through the first measuring table 24. Through the cooperation of the two, the front and rear moving distance and the left and right moving distance of the milling cutter can be tested, and then the milling cutter can be moved to move downward. During the downward movement of the milling cutter, the movable plate 215 is squeezed, so that the movable plate 215 moves downward. The movable plate 215 then contacts the third measuring table 212, and the vertical moving distance of the milling cutter is read on the third measuring table 212, so that the tool setting detection of the milling cutter can be performed from multiple directions, thereby improving the accuracy of the milling cutter. Tool accuracy, horizontal direction detection can ensure the plane size and shape accuracy of the processed parts, vertical direction detection can control the cutting depth and avoid processing defects. At the same time, when the milling cutter is moved, the movable plate 215 will be reset under the action of the spring 214, which is convenient for the next detection of the milling cutter in the vertical direction. Then, the position reading of the L-shaped tool reference plate 210 in the free state is subtracted from the movement displayed on the first measuring table 24, the second measuring table 27 and the third measuring table 212 to calculate the exact position of the milling cutter. Calculating the tool position can accurately control the position of the tool in each coordinate axis direction, thereby ensuring that the processed parts meet the size and shape accuracy required by the design.
