Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of five-way tool setter, specifically a sealing ring protection structure for a five-way tool setter. Background Technology
[0002] A five-axis tool setter is a measuring device used on machine tools. It is installed on the machining table. During machining, the entire internal structure is filled with cutting oil or fluid, and the rotating cutting tool carries away debris to every corner. After a period of time, the surface of the tool setter inevitably becomes covered with cutting fluid and debris. Because the tool setter sensor is touched by the cutting tool during use, the setting head will deflect in various directions. Generally, a flexible rubber sealing ring connects the setting head assembly and the tool setter housing to ensure that the sensor's internal components are isolated from the external environment during contact.
[0003] In the current technology:
[0004] If a large amount of debris accumulates at the soft rubber seal during operation of the currently used five-axis tool setter, it is very likely to have an adverse effect on the contact movement of the tool, such as the inability to swing or the inability to return to the original position after swinging. In this case, the debris will interfere with the measurement work and thus trigger the machine tool alarm.
[0005] Normally, operators would choose to use an air gun or a brush to clean up debris. However, because the sealing ring adopts an interference compression sealing structure, it is easy to damage the sealing effect of the sealing ring during the cleaning process due to excessive airflow from the air gun or improper brush operation, which will eventually cause the sensor of the tool counter to malfunction.
[0006] Therefore, a five-way tool setting device sealing ring protection structure is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the above problems, a five-way tool setting device sealing ring protection structure is proposed.

A sealing ring clamping ring is provided on the right side of the five-way tool setter body. A protective cover is provided on the right side of the sealing ring clamping ring. An external thread is provided on the side of the protective cover near the sealing ring clamping ring. A sensor is provided on the left side inside the protective cover. A sealing ring is provided on the right side of the sensor. A spring is provided on the right side of the sealing ring. The spring is a tower spring. A protective plate is provided on the right side of the spring. A tool setter assembly passes through the inside of the protective plate.
[0009] Preferably, the five-way tool setter body is fixedly connected to the sensor, the sensor is in contact with the sealing ring, the sealing ring is elastically connected to the protective plate through a spring, the tool setter head assembly is fixedly connected to the sensor, the sealing ring clamping ring is fixedly connected to the five-way tool setter body through bolts, and the protective cover is threadedly engaged with the sealing ring clamping ring through an external thread.

An external thread is provided on the side of the protective cover 3 near the sealing ring clamping ring 2. A sensor 5 is provided on the left side inside the protective cover 3, and the sealing ring 6 is provided on the right side of the sensor 5. A spring 7 is provided on the right side of the sealing ring 6. The spring 7 is a tower spring, and a protective plate 8 is provided on the right side of the spring 7. A tool setting head assembly 4 passes through the interior of the protective plate 8. The five-way tool setter body 1 is fixedly connected to the sensor 5. The sensor 5 is in contact with the sealing ring 6. The sealing ring 6 is elastically connected to the protective plate 8 through the spring 7. The tool setting head assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the sensor 5. The sealing ring clamping ring 2 is fixedly connected to the five-way tool setter body 1 by bolts. The protective cover 3 is threadedly engaged with the sealing ring clamping ring 2 through the external thread.
[0025] During operation, the protective plate 8 and the protective cover 3 are made of stainless steel. The protective plate 8 is fitted onto the movable rod that deflects during tool setting, with a single-sided clearance of about 0.1mm, which is beneficial for use. After assembly, the protective plate 8 is pressed against the protective cover 3 by the spring 7. The protective plate 8 is made into an arc surface to ensure that there is no gap between the two parts under normal conditions, so that debris cannot enter the interior of the protective cover 3 and will not affect the sealing ring 6. The spring 7 is a low-force tower spring to ensure that it does not affect the accuracy of the sensor.
[0026] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a one-way valve 9 is provided on the top of the protective cover 3, and a ball valve 10 is provided inside the one-way valve 9. A handle 11 is provided on the right side of the ball valve 10. The ball valve 10 and the handle 11 are fixedly connected, and the protective cover 3 is connected to the one-way valve 9.
[0027] During operation, rotating the handle 11 drives the ball valve 10 to rotate, allowing the one-way valve 9 to connect with the outside, thereby allowing lubricating oil to be poured in from the upper inlet and flow into the protective cover 3 through the one-way valve 9 to lubricate the spring 7 and at the same time seal and prevent oxidation.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] First, the protective plate 8 and the protective cover 3 are made of stainless steel. The protective plate 8 is fitted onto the movable rod that deflects during tool setting. The single-sided fit gap is about 0.1mm, which is beneficial for use. After assembly, the protective plate 8 is pushed onto the protective cover 3 by the spring 7. The protective plate 8 is made into an arc surface to ensure that there is no gap between the two parts under normal conditions, so that debris cannot enter the interior of the protective cover 3 and will not affect the sealing ring 6. The spring 7 is a small-force tower spring to ensure that it does not affect the accuracy of the sensor.
[0030] Secondly, by rotating the handle 11, the ball valve 10 is rotated, allowing the one-way valve 9 to connect with the outside, so that lubricating oil can be poured in from the upper inlet and flow into the protective cover 3 through the one-way valve 9 to lubricate the spring 7 and at the same time play a role in sealing and preventing oxidation.
[0031] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention.
