Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spindle detection, in particular to a rigidity measuring fixture for a mechanical spindle. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of machining and manufacturing, the performance of mechanical spindles is crucial. Spindle rigidity is a key indicator of its quality and reliability. Accurately measuring spindle rigidity is crucial for ensuring machining accuracy, improving production efficiency, and ensuring the long-term stability of the equipment. Traditional methods for measuring spindle rigidity often face numerous challenges. For one thing, existing measurement methods may rely on large, complex, and expensive testing equipment. This equipment not only takes up a lot of space but also has high operating and maintenance costs, making it financially unaffordable for small businesses or laboratories.

[0003] For example, some high-precision mechanical testing instruments require professional technicians to operate, which increases labor costs and technical barriers. On the other hand, general fixtures may have applicability issues when measuring the rigidity of mechanical spindles. Mechanical spindles of different types, specifications and shapes require specific clamping methods to ensure measurement accuracy. However, existing fixtures are often not well adapted to the characteristics of various spindles, which may lead to problems such as unstable clamping and large measurement errors. For example, for some slender spindles, ordinary fixtures may not provide sufficient support force, which can easily cause the spindle to bend and deform during the measurement process, thereby affecting the rigidity measurement results.

[0004] Furthermore, with the continuous advancement of machining technology, the requirements for spindle rigidity measurement accuracy and efficiency are becoming increasingly stringent. In areas such as high-speed machining and precision machining, even slight changes in rigidity can significantly impact machining quality. Therefore, more accurate and efficient rigidity measurement fixtures are needed to meet the demands of modern manufacturing. Furthermore, traditional measurement methods can be time-consuming, hindering production schedules and reducing a company's competitiveness.

[0005] In summary, the existing mechanical spindle rigidity measurement methods and fixtures have shortcomings in terms of cost, applicability, accuracy and efficiency. There is an urgent need to develop a new type of mechanical spindle rigidity measurement fixture to meet the needs of the ever-evolving machining industry. Utility Model Content

[0006] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a fixture for measuring the rigidity of a mechanical spindle. During lathe machining, the rigidity of the spindle has a significant impact on machining accuracy and surface quality. Therefore, accurately measuring the rigidity of the spindle is crucial for evaluating lathe performance, optimizing machining processes, and improving product quality. However, existing measurement methods and fixtures have several shortcomings, such as low accuracy, poor applicability, severe eccentricity, complex operation, and high cost.

[0024] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-6 The utility model provides a technical solution: a mechanical spindle rigidity measurement fixture, which is used to accurately measure the rigidity of the mechanical spindle and ensure the stability and accuracy of the mechanical spindle during operation. It mainly consists of two spindle supports 1, six connecting rods 3, a base plate 4, a measurement auxiliary plate 5, a moving block 6, four guide columns 7, a sensor fixing seat 8, a pressure sensor 9, an adjustment bolt 10, a handwheel 11, a data collector 12, a data cable 13 and an end key 14.

[0026] Specifically, during the testing process, the mechanical spindle 2 to be tested is first placed inside the two spindle supports 1 (both spindle supports 1 are provided with "V"-shaped grooves to constrain the placed mechanical spindle 2). Both ends of the mechanical spindle 2 include flanges (the flanges are an inherent structure of the mechanical spindle 2). After placement, the two flanges fit neatly on the outside of the two spindle supports 1. In this way, when pressure is applied during testing, the mechanical spindle 2 will not move laterally. Subsequently, the measurement auxiliary plate 5 is bolted to the end of the mechanical spindle 2 that is under pressure during testing, and then the six connecting rods 3 are bolted to the inherent countersunk holes of the mechanical spindle 2.

[0027] Then, install the four guide pillars 7 inside the base plate 4, and then sleeve the moving block 6 on the outside of the four guide pillars 7. Then, install the pressure sensor 9 connected to the data cable 13 inside the sensor fixing base 8. Then, install the entire sensor fixing base 8 and pressure sensor 9 at the end of the moving block 6.

[0028] Then, the adjusting bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the inside of the base plate 4, and the hand wheel 11 is fixed to the end of the adjusting bolt 10 through the end key 14, while the other end thread of the adjusting bolt 10 is against the moving block 6;

[0029] Finally, the base plate 4 is mounted on the ends of the six connecting rods 3, and the other end of the data line 13 is connected to the data collector 12;

[0030] When conducting a rigidity test, the staff manually cranks the handwheel 11, thereby driving the adjusting bolt 10 to rotate. Since the adjusting bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the base plate 4, when the adjusting bolt 10 rotates, the handwheel 11 and the adjusting bolt 10 as a whole will move horizontally toward the moving block 6. During the movement, the end of the adjusting bolt 10 will contact the moving block 6. When the handwheel 11 is continued to be cranked, the adjusting bolt 10 will push the moving block 6 along the direction of the four guide columns 7, gradually approaching the measurement auxiliary plate 5. At the same time, the sensor fixing seat 8 and the pressure sensor 9 will also move synchronously. During the movement, the pressure sensor 9 will contact the measurement auxiliary plate 5. After contact, pressure will be generated. At this time, the pressure sensor 9 will transmit the pressure data to the data collector 12 through the data line 13. By continuously cranking the handwheel 11, the pressure applied will become greater and greater, thereby detecting the rigidity performance of the mechanical spindle 2.

[0031] It should be noted that the data detected by the pressure sensor 9 is transmitted to the data collector 12 via the data line 13 , which is a well-known technology and will not be described in detail here.
