They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in , this embodiment provides a three-coordinate measuring machine for measuring the dimensions of a workpiece 100 to be measured. The three-coordinate measuring machine includes a three-coordinate measuring body 1 and an optical positioning member 2. The optical positioning member 2 is connected to the three-coordinate measuring body 1. The optical positioning member 2 is provided with two, namely a first optical positioning member 2a and a second optical positioning member 2b. The light emitted by the first optical positioning member 2a is consistent with the X-axis movement path of the three-coordinate measuring body 1, and the light emitted by the second optical positioning member 2b is consistent with the Z-axis movement path of the three-coordinate measuring body 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, a first optical positioning member 2a whose light emission path is consistent with the X-axis movement path of the three-coordinate measurement body 1 is provided on the three-coordinate measurement body 1, and a second optical positioning member 2b whose light emission path is consistent with the Z-axis movement path of the three-coordinate measurement body 1 is provided, wherein the light path of the first optical positioning member 2a can simulate the movement path of the stylus of the three-coordinate measurement body 1 in the X-axis direction to form an X-axis visible light beam, and the light path of the second optical positioning member 2b can simulate the movement path of the stylus of the three-coordinate measurement body 1 in the Z-axis direction to form a Z-axis visible light beam. When placing the workpiece 100 to be measured, the staff only needs to adjust the position according to the X-axis visible light beam and the Z-axis visible light beam. Guided by the light of the Z-axis visible light beam, the workpiece 100 to be measured is adjusted so that its two adjacent side surfaces are respectively kept horizontal with the X-axis visible light beam and the Z-axis visible light beam. In this way, it is possible to avoid the problem that, during the process of the stylus of the three-dimensional coordinate measuring body 1 measuring the workpiece 100, the stylus rod of the stylus interferes with the workpiece 100 to be measured, causing the workpiece 100 to be misaligned and affecting the measurement effect of the workpiece 100 to be measured, thereby achieving rapid positioning of the placement position of the workpiece 100 to be measured, and effectively solving the problem that each time the three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine is used to measure the workpiece 100 to be measured, the inspection personnel need to spend a lot of time and energy to determine the placement position of the workpiece 100 to be measured.

[0033] Exemplarily, the optical positioning member 2 includes a base 21, an optical emitter 22, and a control switch 23. The optical emitter 22 is fixed to the base 21 via a fastener 24, ensuring the tightness of the assembly of the two. This ensures that the light emitted by the first optical positioning member 2a is consistent with the X-axis movement path of the stylus, and that the light emitted by the second optical positioning member 2b is consistent with the Z-axis movement path of the stylus. The control switch 23 is used to control the power on and off of the optical emitter 22. When the three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine needs to measure the workpiece 100 to be measured, the optical emitter 22 is powered on by the control switch 23. When the workpiece 100 to be measured is not required to be measured, the optical emitter 22 is powered off by the control switch 23. Preferably, the base 21 and the three-coordinate measuring body 1 can be detachably connected, so that the inspector can adjust the position of the first optical positioning component 2a according to the volume of the workpiece 100 to be measured, so that the height of the light emitted by the optical emitter 22 in the first optical positioning component 2a is adapted to the height of the workpiece 100 to be measured, which makes it easier for the inspector to determine the placement position of the workpiece 100 to be measured and improves the rationality of the design of the three-coordinate measuring instrument.

[0034] In one embodiment, the base 21 includes a magnet, which is fixedly attached to the bottom surface of the base 21. When installing the optical locator 2, the optical locator 2 can be attached to the three-dimensional coordinate measurement body 1 by magnetic attraction. When the height of the optical locator 2 needs to be adjusted according to the volume of the workpiece 100 to be measured, the inspector simply removes the optical locator 2 and magnetically attracts it to the required height position on the three-dimensional coordinate measurement body 1, allowing the inspector to quickly and effortlessly adjust the position of the optical locator 2.

[0035] In another embodiment, the base 21 includes adhesive backing, wherein the adhesive backing is adhered and fixed to the bottom surface of the base 21 , thereby also enabling a detachable connection between the base 21 and the three-coordinate measurement body 1 .

[0036] Regarding the assembly of the optical transmitter 22 and the base 21, for example, Figures 2 to 4 As shown in , a mounting groove 211 is provided on the base 21, and the optical emitter 22 is placed in the mounting groove 211. The mounting groove 211 can realize the assembly positioning of the optical emitter 22. A fixing hole 2111 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 211. The fastener 24 fixes the optical emitter 22 in the mounting groove 211 after passing through the fixing hole 2111. Specifically, the fastener 24 abuts against the optical emitter 22 after passing through the fixing hole 2111. At the same time, the fastener 24 is threadedly connected to the fixing hole 2111. In this way, the fastener 24 can lock the optical emitter 22, preventing the optical emitter 22 from moving in the mounting groove 211, affecting the path of the light emitted by the optical positioning component 2, and affecting the determination of the placement position of the workpiece 100 to be measured. Specifically, the fastener 24 is provided with an external thread, and the fixing hole 2111 is provided with an internal thread. When the fastener 24 passes through the fixing hole 2111, the external thread on the fastener 24 and the internal thread are screwed together to achieve the screw connection between the fastener 24 and the fixing hole 2111. In this embodiment, the fastener 24 can be a bolt or a stud.

[0037] In this embodiment, the perpendicularity between the mounting groove 211 and the bottom surface of the base 21 is less than 0.02 mm. Perpendicularity is a positional tolerance used to evaluate the perpendicularity between lines, planes, or between a line and a plane. Controlling the perpendicularity between the mounting groove 211 and the bottom surface of the base 21 to within 0.02 mm further ensures the consistency between the X-axis visible light beam emitted by the first optical positioning member 2a and the X-axis movement path of the stylus, and the consistency between the Z-axis visible light beam emitted by the second optical positioning member 2b and the Z-axis movement path of the stylus, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the measurement object 100.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first optical positioning member 2a is connected to the auxiliary leg 11 of the three-dimensional coordinate measuring body 1. The second optical positioning member 2b is connected to the slide 12 of the three-dimensional coordinate measuring body 1. When the three-dimensional coordinate measuring body 1 is working, the first optical positioning member 2a can move along with the movement of the auxiliary leg 11 of the three-dimensional coordinate measuring body 1, and the second optical positioning member 2b can move along with the movement of the slide 12 of the three-dimensional coordinate measuring body 1, further improving the rationality of the design of the three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine.

[0039] In this embodiment, the light emitted by the optical positioning component 2 is a linear visible light beam with a wavelength of 650nm±10nm and a diameter of 1mm-2mm. This makes it easier for the inspection personnel to observe the X-axis visible light path and the Z-axis visible light path, and to locate the placement position of the measured component 100 more quickly.

[0040] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
