Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts processing equipment, and in particular to an automatic tool setting device for automotive planetary carrier turning. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic tool setting device for automotive planetary carrier turning is a unit used in the turning process to automatically measure and adjust the relative position between the tool and the workpiece. In turning, the correct positional relationship between the tool and the workpiece is crucial for machining accuracy, and the automatic tool setting device can precisely determine this position. Typically, the tool and related detection devices are mounted on the tool post structure of the machine tool. The tool post is connected to the machine tool's drive system, which can precisely control the movement of the tool post in each coordinate axis direction.

[0003] In existing technologies, the connection methods between common tool setting equipment and machine tool connection components are relatively fixed. The key detection device is difficult to disassemble compared to the machine tool connection and support components. Over long-term use, the detection device's performance deteriorates due to factors such as dust, debris, cutting fluid corrosion, and component wear, requiring inspection, maintenance, calibration, or replacement. However, the traditional structure makes disassembly extremely cumbersome, requiring specialized personnel with specialized tools and careful operation following complex procedures, consuming significant time and effort, and easily damaging the equipment. This not only increases maintenance costs and downtime, reducing production efficiency, but may also delay production processes and cause economic losses in emergencies. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and propose an automatic tool setting device for automotive planetary carrier turning.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic tool setting device for planetary carrier turning of automobiles includes a clamp and a detection device. The clamp is a two-section design connected by a fixing mechanism. A connecting frame is provided on the clamp through a connecting groove. The detection device is mounted on the connecting frame. A micro motor is installed on the connecting frame. The micro motor is connected to the clamp through a rotating mechanism. The connecting frame has a movable groove. A sliding rod is provided in the movable groove. A limiting frame is slidably fitted on the upper cover of the sliding rod through an elastic mechanism. A limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes fixing blocks mounted on the clamp, and two contacting fixing blocks are connected by a bolt assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a gear mounted on the output shaft of the micro motor, and the clamp is provided with a gear ring that meshes with the gear.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic mechanism includes a spring sleeved on the outside of the slide bar, with both ends of the spring elastically connected to the inner wall of the movable groove and the outer wall of the limiting frame, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, a rubber pad is installed on the inner wall of the clamp, and the surface of the rubber pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0011] Preferably, a baffle is installed on the clamp, and a wiping cloth is provided on the surface of the baffle.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The clamp adopts a two-section design, which can be designed according to the shape of the turning component (rod component). It is tightly connected by fixing blocks and bolt components, which can be well fixed on the turning component. It is easy and firm to install.

[0014] 2. With the help of a rotating mechanism consisting of a micro motor, gears and a gear ring, the detection device can rotate around the turning assembly (rod assembly) to adjust its position, which facilitates the detection of the distance between the turning assembly (tool) and the workpiece from different angles, thereby realizing tool setting adjustment, improving the accuracy and flexibility of tool setting, and better meeting the processing needs.

[0015] 3. Through the cooperation of the sliding rod, limiting frame, spring, and limiting groove in the elastic mechanism, after the limiting frame is lifted so that its vertical part disengages from the limiting groove, the connecting frame can move laterally and disengage from the clamp, realizing convenient disassembly of components such as the detection device. This greatly facilitates the storage, organization, and maintenance of the equipment, helping to extend the service life of the equipment and ensure its performance.

[0016] 4. The clamp is equipped with a baffle with a wiping cloth. When the detection device is not working, it can be rotated to the position corresponding to the baffle. The baffle can protect the detection device (such as laser sensor) from damage, and can also be used to wipe and clean the detection device with a wiping cloth every time the detection device moves past the baffle, keeping it clean and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 An automatic tool setting device for planetary carrier turning of automobiles includes a clamp 1 and a detection device 4. The detection device 4 includes a laser sensor or a contact sensor, and is mainly used to detect the distance between the tool and the workpiece. It is a mature product in existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail.

[0025] The clamp 1 has a two-section design and is connected by a fixing mechanism. The clamp 1 is provided with a connecting frame 6 through a connecting groove 7. The detection device 4 is installed on the connecting frame 6. A micro motor 10 is installed on the connecting frame 6. The micro motor 10 is connected to the clamp 1 through a rotating mechanism. The connecting frame 6 is provided with a movable groove 8. A sliding rod 12 is provided in the movable groove 8. A limiting frame 9 is slidably sleeved on the top cover of the sliding rod 12 through an elastic mechanism. A limiting groove 14 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove 7.

[0026] The fixing mechanism includes fixing blocks 2 mounted on the clamp 1, and the two contacting fixing blocks 2 are connected by a bolt assembly. The bolt assembly tightly connects the two fixing blocks 2 together, and the fixing blocks 2 tightly mount the two-section clamp 1 onto the turning assembly (on rod-type assemblies, the clamp 1 can be designed to the same shape as the rod-type assembly).

[0027] The rotating mechanism includes a gear 11 mounted on the output shaft of the micro motor 10, and a gear ring 3 meshing with the gear 11 on the clamp 1. The gear 11 can rotate after the micro motor 10 is started. By relying on the rotating gear 11 and the gear ring 3, the rotational adjustment of components such as the connecting frame 6 can be realized.

[0028] The elastic mechanism includes a spring 13 sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 12, with both ends of the spring 13 elastically connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 8 and the outer wall of the limiting frame 9, respectively. The spring 13 enables the limiting frame 9 to be pressed down, ensuring that its vertical part is within the limiting groove 14 when no external force is involved.

[0029] A rubber pad is installed on the inner wall of the clamp 1, and the surface of the rubber pad is provided with anti-slip texture. The aforementioned rubber pad with anti-slip texture first protects the clamp 1 and the turning assembly (rod assembly), and secondly ensures the anti-slip effect to prevent the clamp 1 from falling off after installation.

[0030] A baffle 5 is installed on the clamp 1, and a wiping cloth is provided on the surface of the baffle 5. When not in operation, the detection device 4 can rotate to correspond with the baffle 5, relying on the baffle 5 to protect components such as laser sensors. In addition, the detection device 4 can be wiped clean by the wiping cloth every time it moves past the baffle 5 to ensure cleanliness.

[0031] When this utility model is used, the clamp 1 is installed on the turning assembly (rod-type assembly) to realize the installation of the detection device 4. The detection device 4 can be moved and adjusted, that is, rotated and adjusted around the turning assembly (rod-type assembly). The detection device 4 can detect the distance between the turning assembly (tool) and the workpiece, thereby adjusting the turning assembly (tool) for tool setting.

[0032] When the micro motor 10 is started, it can drive the gear 11 to rotate. When the gear 11 rotates, under the intervention of the gear ring 3, the connecting frame 6 and the micro motor 10 and other components will move and adjust their positions.

[0033] In this design, after the horizontal portion of the limiting frame 9 is lifted, it can slide upwards on the slide rod 12. Subsequently, the vertical portion of the limiting frame 9 disengages from the limiting groove 14, and the connecting frame 6 loses its limiting position, allowing it to move laterally and disengage from the clamp 1. This enables convenient disassembly of components such as the detection device 4, facilitating their storage, organization, and maintenance.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
