Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coordinate measuring machine technology, specifically to an auxiliary tooling for a portable coordinate measuring machine. Background Technology

[0002] A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is an instrument capable of measuring geometric shapes, lengths, and circumferential divisions within a six-sided spatial range. Its measurement functions include dimensional accuracy, positioning accuracy, geometric accuracy, and contour accuracy, and it is widely used in industries such as mold making, aerospace, automotive, and electronics.

It is equipped with a mounting frame, a metal suction block, and a magnetic fixing device. The CMM body is plugged into the mounting frame. By setting a power module, the metal suction block attracts the magnetic component, fixing the CMM on the adjustable mounting frame. This realizes convenient portable use of the CMM, quick installation and fixation, and improves the stability of the equipment.

[0004] However, when the coordinate measuring machine designed above is in use, the power module needs to be powered on. When the power module is powered, if the voltage is unstable, it will directly affect the performance of the electromagnet. Voltage fluctuations will cause changes in current, thereby changing the magnetic field strength of the electromagnet. When the voltage decreases, the current decreases, the magnetic field strength of the electromagnet weakens, and the attraction force also decreases, which may affect the stability of the measuring machine when it is fixed, thus affecting the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: including a fixed base 1 and a coordinate measuring machine 2 mounted on the fixed base 1. A second rectangular groove 6 is provided on the outer side of the fixed base 1. A snap-fit ​​assembly is provided in the second rectangular groove 6. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a pull block 3 slidably disposed in the second rectangular groove 6. A pull rod 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the pull block 3. A first rectangular groove 5 is provided on the side of the second rectangular groove 6 away from the pull block 3. A through hole is provided between the first rectangular groove 5 and the second rectangular groove 6. The pull rod 8 is slidably inserted into the through hole. A limit block 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pull rod 8. The limit block 7 is slidably disposed inside the first rectangular groove 5. A telescopic spring 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the limit block 7. The other end of the telescopic spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first rectangular groove 5. An abutment block 10 is fixedly installed on one end of the pull rod 8. A pull groove 19 is provided on one side of the pull block 3.

[0022] In practice, the operator can insert their finger into the pull groove 19 to pull the pull block 3, causing the pull rod 8 and the contact block 10 to move. When the pull rod 8 moves outward with the pull block 3 towards the fixed base 1, the limiting block 7 slides synchronously with the pull rod 8 in the first rectangular groove 5. The telescopic spring 9 is compressed when the limiting block 7 moves, and the contact block 10 moves into the interior of the first rectangular groove 5. The coordinate measuring machine 2 is placed in the mounting groove 4. The pull block 3 is released, and the force of the telescopic spring 9 returning causes the limiting block 7 and the pull rod 8 to move closer to the coordinate measuring machine 2. The contact block 10 moves synchronously with the pull rod 8 and engages in the engaging groove 16. The magnet 11 and the iron block 17 are magnetically attracted, fixing the coordinate measuring machine 2 on the fixed base 1. The pull groove 19 is located inside the pull block 3 to prevent accidental contact.

[0023] See Figure 3A damper 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall side of the second rectangular groove 6 near the first rectangular groove 5. A damping spring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the damper 12. One end of the damping spring 13 is fixedly connected to the second rectangular groove 6, and the other end of the damping spring 13 is fixedly connected to a buffer plate 14. There are two dampers 12. The two dampers 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second rectangular groove 6 with the pull rod 8 as the center. A buffer pad 15 is connected to the side of the pull block 3 near the buffer plate 14. The buffer pad 15 is made of rubber.

[0024] It should be noted that a circular through hole is provided on the buffer plate 14, and the pull rod 8 is slidably inserted into the buffer plate 14 through the circular through hole. The buffer plate 14 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the damper 12.

[0025] By setting the damper 12 and the damping spring 13, after the pull block 3 is released, when the pull block 3 moves into the second rectangular groove 6 under the force of the resetting force of the telescopic spring 9, the pull block 3 and the buffer pad 15 first come into contact with the buffer plate 14. When the buffer plate 14 comes into contact with the buffer pad 15, the material of the buffer pad 15 is set as rubber, which can prevent the pull block 3 from being damaged by collision. The damping spring 13 will generate elastic deformation to absorb the impact force, and the damper 12 will generate damping force to reduce vibration and buffer the pull block 3, preventing the contact block 10 from being damaged by the instantaneous impact force in the snap-fit ​​groove 16 when resetting.

[0026] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the fixed base 1 is provided with an installation groove 4. The coordinate measuring machine 2 is snapped into the installation groove 4. The installation groove 4 is connected to the first rectangular groove 5. The bottom side of the coordinate measuring machine 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 16. The contact block 10 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 16. A magnet 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the contact block 10 near the snap-fit ​​groove 16. An iron block 17 is fixedly installed inside the snap-fit ​​groove 16. The iron block 17 and the magnet 11 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0027] By setting up the iron block 17 and the magnet 11, when the contact block 10 is engaged in the slot 16, the iron block 17 and the magnet 11 are magnetically attracted to each other, fixing the contact block 10, thereby fixing the coordinate measuring machine 2 in the fixed base 1.

[0028] See Figure 3 A sliding groove is provided on one side of the inner wall of the first rectangular groove 5, and a guide slider is connected to one side of the limiting block 7. The guide slider is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0029] By providing a guide slider on one side of the limiting block 7, the stability of the limiting block 7 sliding within the first rectangular groove 5 through the guide slider is improved.

[0030] See Figure 2A support rod 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the fixed base 1, and a threaded hole is opened on the other side of the fixed base 1, and a threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole.

[0031] It should be noted that there are two support rods 18, both of which are located at the bottom of one side of the fixed base 1. The number of support rods 18 matches that of the threaded rods 20.

[0032] By setting the threaded rod 20, a bubble level is installed on the top of one side of the fixed base 1. When the ground is uneven, the level of the bubble level can be observed and the threaded rod 20 can be adjusted. The operator can adjust the level of the fixed base 1 by rotating the threaded rod 20 and adjusting the length of the threaded rod 20 at the bottom of the fixed base 1 to keep the measuring surface of the coordinate measuring machine 2 level, so as to ensure the stability of the measurement data.

[0033] Working principle: When using the device, the operator can insert their finger into the pull groove 19 and pull the pull block 3 to make the pull rod 8 and the contact block 10 move. When the pull rod 8 moves outward with the pull block 3, the limit block 7 slides synchronously with the pull rod 8 in the first rectangular groove 5. The telescopic spring 9 is compressed when the limit block 7 moves. The contact block 10 moves to the inside of the first rectangular groove 5. The coordinate measuring machine 2 is placed in the mounting groove 4. The pull block 3 is released. The force of the telescopic spring 9 returning to its original position makes the limit block 7 and the pull rod 8 move closer to the coordinate measuring machine 2. The contact block 10 moves synchronously with the pull rod 8 and is engaged in the engagement groove 16. The magnet 11 and the iron block 17 are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the coordinate measuring machine 2 is fixed on the fixed base 1.

[0034] After the pull block 3 is released, when the pull block 3 moves into the second rectangular groove 6 under the force of the return of the telescopic spring 9, the pull block 3 and the buffer pad 15 first come into contact with the buffer plate 14. When the buffer plate 14 comes into contact with the buffer pad 15, the material of the buffer pad 15 is rubber, which can prevent the pull block 3 from being damaged by collision. The damping spring 13 will generate elastic deformation to absorb the impact force, and the damper 12 will generate damping force to reduce vibration and buffer the pull block 3, preventing the contact block 10 from being damaged by the instantaneous impact force in the snap-fit ​​groove 16 during the return.
