Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trimmer technology, and in particular to a machine tool pad support measurement system. Background Technology
[0002] Machine tool leveling pads are precision adjustment accessories designed specifically for machine tools and heavy machinery. They not only effectively support the overall weight of machine tools and machinery, preventing displacement or damage caused by uneven ground or vibration, but also allow for precise adjustment of the equipment's levelness and height through their adjustability, thereby ensuring the stability and machining accuracy of the machine tool during operation.
[0003] As precision, large-scale machinery, CNC machine tools face a major challenge after completing all manufacturing processes in the factory: disassembling them into parts for transportation and reassembling them at the ordering manufacturer. Ensuring the machine bed remains precisely level in this new environment is crucial for its optimal performance. Traditional methods rely on the specialized skills and extensive experience of assembly workers, repeatedly adjusting shims and other auxiliary tools to fine-tune the machine bed to achieve the ideal level. However, this method not only demands highly skilled assembly workers but also requires a significant investment of time and effort, making the entire assembly and adjustment process both complex and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the above problems, this application provides a machine tool leveling pad support measurement system, which includes a leveling pad, a support plate on the leveling pad, a dial indicator mounting base on the support plate, a dial indicator on the dial indicator mounting base, and a probe of the dial indicator in contact with a reference surface. A lifting tool is also provided on one side of the leveling pad, and a pressure sensor is provided on the lifting tool, with the pressure sensor located below the machine tool.
[0005] In one embodiment, the support pad is provided with a support base plate, the support base plate is provided with a positioning groove, the positioning groove is provided with an adjusting screw, the adjusting screw is connected to the fine-tuning pad, and the support plate is slidably mounted on the fine-tuning pad.
[0006] In one embodiment, an adjusting bolt is provided at the end of the adjusting screw away from the fine-tuning shim.
[0007] In one embodiment, the fine-tuning shim is provided with matching grooves and groove protrusions placed in the grooves between the supporting base plate and the supporting plate, and the grooves are arranged along the axial direction of the adjusting screw.
[0008] In one embodiment, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the display screen.
[0009] In one embodiment, the lifting tool is a jack.
[0010] In one embodiment, the support plate is cuboid.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This application discloses a machine tool leveling pad support measurement system. It includes a leveling pad, a dial indicator mounting base on the support plate, and a dial indicator probe in contact with a reference surface. A lifting tool with a pressure sensor is also mounted on one side of the leveling pad, located below the machine tool. The lifting tool is operated to slowly raise the leveling pad until the pressure sensor reading is non-zero, indicating that the lifting tool has made contact with the machine tool bed. When the dial indicator needle begins to move significantly, the pressure sensor reading is recorded. This reading is approximately equal to the actual force on the leveling pad at its current position. The position of each leveling pad is marked, and its corresponding force value is recorded. These data serve as a reference for subsequent machine tool adjustments. When the machine tool needs to be reinstalled or adjusted, the leveling pads are returned to their original positions based on the previously recorded data. Using the lifting tool and pressure sensor, the force on each leveling pad is adjusted to match the previously recorded values. In this way, the machine tool bed can be restored to the same level as during the initial measurement. Displacement measurement using a dial indicator captures minute changes; pressure sensors measure the pressure applied to the support pads by the lifting tools, ensuring accurate force measurement and enabling precise assessment of the support pads' stress state, providing reliable data support for machine tool adjustments; recording the position and force values of each support pad ensures accurate replication of the previous level state during machine tool reinstallation or adjustment, maintaining consistent machine tool performance at different locations or times, improving machine tool reliability and stability, reducing adjustment costs and time, and increasing work efficiency.

[0021] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a machine tool leveling pad support measurement system includes a leveling pad 1, a support plate 11 on the leveling pad 1, a dial indicator mounting base 2 on the support plate 11, a dial indicator 3 on the dial indicator mounting base 2, and a probe 31 of the dial indicator 3 in contact with a reference surface. A lifting tool 4 is also provided on one side of the leveling pad 1, and a pressure sensor 5 is provided on the lifting tool 4, which is located below the machine tool.
[0024] Specifically, the lifting tool 4 can be a jack. First, the support pad 1 is installed at a preset position on the bottom of the machine tool to provide stable support. Initially, the support pad 1 is in a supported state. A dial indicator mounting base 2 is fixed to the support pad 1 via a support plate 11, ensuring that the dial indicator 3 can be stably installed in the mounting base 2. The probe 31 of the dial indicator 3 needs to be in contact with the reference plane, and a certain pressure gauge reading is applied beforehand. The lifting tool 4 is installed on one side of the support pad 1, and a pressure sensor 5 is installed on the lifting tool 4 to measure pressure. The lifting tool 4 is operated to slowly rise until the reading of the pressure sensor 5 shows a non-zero value, indicating that the lifting tool 4 has made contact with the machine tool bed. The lifting tool 4 continues to apply pressure, while observing the change in the dial indicator 3's needle. When the needle begins to move significantly, the reading of the pressure sensor 5 is recorded. This reading is approximately equal to the actual force on the support pad 1 at the current position. After completing the force measurement, the position of each support pad 1 is marked, and its corresponding force value is recorded. This data will serve as a reference for subsequent machine tool adjustments. When the machine tool needs to be reinstalled or adjusted, the support pad 1 is placed back in the same position according to the previously recorded data. Using the lifting tool 4 and pressure sensor 5, the force on each support pad 1 is adjusted to match the previously recorded value. In this way, it can be ensured that the machine tool bed is restored to the same level state as when it was first measured. By using a dial indicator 3 for displacement measurement, minute changes can be captured; the pressure sensor 5 is used to measure the pressure applied to the support pad 1 by the lifting tool 4, ensuring accurate force measurement so as to accurately assess the force state of the support pad 1 and provide reliable data support for machine tool adjustments. By recording the position and force value of each support pad 1, it is ensured that the previous level state can be accurately replicated when the machine tool is reinstalled or adjusted, so that the performance of the machine tool remains consistent in different locations or at different times, improving the reliability and stability of the machine tool, reducing adjustment costs and time, and improving work efficiency.
[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the support pad 1 is provided with a support base plate 12, the support base plate 12 is provided with a positioning groove 13, the positioning groove 13 is provided with an adjusting screw 14, the adjusting screw 14 is connected to the fine-tuning pad 15, and the support plate 11 is slidably mounted on the fine-tuning pad 15.
[0026] Specifically, the support plate 11 is cuboid, and the adjusting screw 14 is installed in the positioning groove 13 and connected to the fine-tuning shim 15 by a threaded connection. When the adjusting screw 14 is rotated, the fine-tuning shim 15 will move along the axis of the adjusting screw 14 due to the interaction of the threads. This movement can precisely adjust the height of the fine-tuning shim 15, thereby changing the position of the support plate 11 relative to the support base plate 12.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an adjusting bolt 16 is provided at the end of the adjusting screw 14 away from the fine-tuning shim 15.
[0028] Specifically, the operator uses an appropriate tool to rotate the adjusting bolt 16, thereby causing the adjusting screw 14 to rotate in the positioning groove 13. The setting of the adjusting bolt allows the operator to easily rotate the adjusting screw 14 without using complicated tools or skills.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the fine-tuning pad 15 is provided with matching grooves and groove protrusions placed in the grooves between the support base plate 12 and the support plate 11, and the grooves are arranged along the axial direction of the adjusting screw 14.
[0030] Specifically, when the adjusting screw 14 rotates, the fine-tuning shim 15 moves along the axis of the adjusting screw 14. During this process, the slide groove of the fine-tuning shim 15 slides along the slide groove protrusion on the support base plate 12 and the support plate 11, ensuring that the fine-tuning shim 15 can maintain a stable movement trajectory when adjusting the height, avoiding unnecessary shaking or deviation. Due to the existence of the slide groove and the slide groove protrusion, the position of the fine-tuning shim 15 on the support plate 11 can also be precisely controlled. Precise height and position control enables the operator to make fine adjustments to the level of the machine tool bed.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressure sensor 5 is electrically connected to the display screen 17.
[0032] The pressure sensor 5 is electrically connected to the display screen 17, ensuring that the electrical signal measured by the pressure sensor 5 can be transmitted to the display screen 17 for display, so that the operator can quickly and accurately understand the measurement data.
[0033] The beneficial effects of this application compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0034] This application discloses a machine tool pad support measurement system, comprising a support pad 1, a support plate 11 on the support pad 1, a dial indicator mounting base 2 on the support plate 11, and a dial indicator 3 mounted on the dial indicator mounting base 2. The probe 31 of the dial indicator 3 is in contact with a reference surface. A lifting tool 4 is also provided on one side of the support pad 1, and a pressure sensor 5 is mounted on the lifting tool 4, located below the machine tool. Initially, the support pad 1 is in a supported state, and the probe 31 of the dial indicator 3 needs to be in contact with the reference plane, with a certain pressure applied in advance. The lifting tool 4 is operated to slowly rise until the reading of the pressure sensor 5 shows a non-zero value, indicating that the lifting tool 4 has made contact with the machine tool bed. The lifting tool 4 continues to apply pressure, while the change of the dial indicator 3 needle is observed. When the needle begins to move significantly, the reading of the pressure sensor 5 is recorded at this time. This reading is approximately equal to the actual force on the support pad 1 at the current position. After completing the force measurement, the position of each support pad 1 is marked, and its corresponding force value is recorded. This data will serve as a reference for subsequent machine tool adjustments. When the machine tool needs to be reinstalled or adjusted, the support pad 1 is placed back in the same position according to the previously recorded data. Using the lifting tool 4 and pressure sensor 5, the force on each support pad 1 is adjusted to match the previously recorded value. In this way, it can be ensured that the machine tool bed is restored to the same level state as when it was first measured. By using a dial indicator 3 for displacement measurement, minute changes can be captured; the pressure sensor 5 is used to measure the pressure applied to the support pad 1 by the lifting tool 4, ensuring accurate force measurement so as to accurately assess the force state of the support pad 1 and provide reliable data support for machine tool adjustments. By recording the position and force value of each support pad 1, it is ensured that the previous level state can be accurately replicated when the machine tool is reinstalled or adjusted, so that the performance of the machine tool remains consistent in different locations or at different times, improving the reliability and stability of the machine tool, reducing adjustment costs and time, and improving work efficiency.
