Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring machine accessories technology, and in particular to a probe storage device. Background Technology

[0002] A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) has pneumatic brake switches and micro-motion devices on all three axes, enabling precision transmission on a single axis. It employs a high-performance data acquisition system. Applications include precision measurement in product design, mold assembly, gear measurement, blade measurement, mechanical manufacturing, tooling and fixtures, automotive mold parts, and electronic appliances. A CMM is an instrument capable of measuring geometric shapes, lengths, and circumferential divisions within a six-sided spatial area; it is also known as a coordinate measuring machine or coordinate measuring bed.

[0003] Existing coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) mainly measure workpieces using probes. There are many types of probes, and different probes need to be changed for different workpieces. Since there are many types of probes, CMMs are usually equipped with a device for storing probes to facilitate probe replacement.

[0004] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered that the technology has at least the following problems: most of the existing probe storage devices are fixed structures, which are inconvenient to adjust the position of the probes, making it troublesome to replace the probes. Therefore, a probe storage device is proposed now. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem of inconvenient probe placement and the resulting difficulty in replacing probes, this invention provides a probe storage device.

[0006] This utility model provides a probe storage device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A probe storage device includes a support base, a support rod, and a placement seat. The support rod is slidably mounted on one side of the support base, and the placement seat is slidably mounted on one side of the support rod. The placement seat has multiple placement slots for placing probes. Support plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of each placement slot, and a cover plate is slidably mounted on the placement slot above the support plate.

[0008] The support base has a first groove on both sides. A first screw is rotatably installed inside the first groove. Two first screws are symmetrically arranged. A first connecting block is threaded onto each of the two first screws. The first connecting block is fixedly connected to the support rod. A housing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base. A drive assembly for driving the first screw to rotate is provided inside the housing. A second groove is opened inside the support rod. A second screw is rotatably installed inside the second groove. A second connecting block is threaded onto the second screw. The second connecting block is fixedly connected to the placement seat.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, probes can be stored in different placement slots. The upper end of the probe rests on the support plate, and the probe tip points downwards, passing through the space between the two support plates. When replacing the probe, the drive assembly can be activated to rotate the two first screws, causing the first screws to slide the first connecting block vertically along the first groove. The first connecting block then moves the support rod up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the placement seat. Simultaneously, the second motor can be activated to rotate the two second screws, causing the second screws to move the second connecting block horizontally along the second groove. The second connecting block then moves the placement seat horizontally, thereby adjusting the position of the placement seat. This facilitates sliding the probe mounting head of the measuring machine into the placement slot, clamping the upper end of the probe, and then removing it from the placement slot, thus completing the probe replacement.

[0010] Optionally, a spring is provided inside the placement slot, with one end of the spring abutting against the cover plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the probe mounting head of the measuring machine slides into the placement groove, the cover plate will be squeezed by the probe mounting head of the measuring machine, causing the cover plate to move towards the spring and compress the spring. When the probe mounting head of the measuring machine is removed from the placement groove, the spring will push the cover plate to reset and protect the probe.

[0012] Optionally, a limiting groove is provided on the inner side wall of the placement groove, and limiting blocks are provided on both sides of the cover plate, with the limiting blocks sliding within the limiting groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate can be limited.

[0014] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a first motor, a worm gear, a worm wheel, a support shaft, a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear. The first motor is fixedly installed inside the housing, the worm gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor, the worm wheel is fixedly installed on the support shaft and meshes with the worm gear, the support shaft is rotatably installed inside the housing, the first bevel gear is fixedly installed at the end of the support shaft, and the second bevel gear is fixedly installed on the first screw and meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor can be started to drive the worm to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the support shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first screw to rotate.

[0016] Optionally, the surface of the support base is provided with a first sliding groove, and the first connecting block slides in the first sliding groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the first connecting block can be guided.

[0018] Optionally, a second motor is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the second screw.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the second motor can be started to drive the second screw to rotate.

[0020] Optionally, the surface of the support rod is provided with a second sliding groove, and the second connecting block slides in the second sliding groove.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the second connecting block can be guided.

[0022] Optionally, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the support base can be installed on the base of the measuring machine.

[0024] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a support base, a support rod, and a placement base, allows probes to be stored in different placement slots. The upper end of the probe rests on the support plate, with the probe tip pointing downwards and passing through the space between the two support plates. When replacing the probe, the drive assembly can be activated to rotate the two first screws, causing the first screws to drive the first connecting block to slide vertically along the first groove. The first connecting block then drives the support rod to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the placement base. Simultaneously, the second motor can be activated to rotate the two second screws, causing the second screws to drive the second connecting block to move horizontally along the second groove. The second connecting block then drives the placement base to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the position of the placement base. This facilitates sliding the probe mounting head of the measuring machine into the placement slot, clamping the upper end of the probe, and then removing it from the placement slot, thus completing the probe replacement.

[0026] 2. This utility model, through the arrangement of a cover plate and a spring, allows the spring to apply elastic force to the cover plate during normal storage, so that the cover plate covers the probe and protects it. When the probe is replaced, as the probe mounting head of the measuring machine slides into the placement groove, the cover plate is squeezed by the probe mounting head of the measuring machine, causing the cover plate to move towards the spring and compress the spring. When the probe mounting head of the measuring machine is removed from the placement groove, the spring pushes the cover plate to reset, thus protecting the probe. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The following description, in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model, includes the appendix. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-3A probe storage device includes a support base 1, a support rod 2, and a placement seat 3. A mounting base 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 1, allowing the support base 1 to be mounted on the base of a measuring machine. The support rod 2 is slidably mounted on one side of the support base 1 and is horizontally arranged. The placement seat 3 is slidably mounted on one side of the support rod 2 and has multiple placement slots 31 for placing probes. Support plates 32 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of each placement slot 31. Through the arrangement of the support base 1, support rod 2, and placement seat 3, probes can be stored in different placement slots 31. The upper end of the probe rests on the support plate 32, with the probe tip pointing downwards and passing between two support plates 32. When replacing a probe, the probe mounting head of the measuring machine slides into the placement slot 31, clamps the upper end of the probe, and then removes it from the placement slot 31, thus completing the probe replacement. A cover plate 33 is slidably mounted above the support plate 32. A spring 34 is installed inside the placement groove 31. One end of the spring 34 abuts against the cover plate 33. Through the arrangement of the cover plate 33 and the spring 34, during normal storage, the spring 34 will apply elastic force to the cover plate 33, so that the cover plate 33 covers the probe and protects the probe. When the probe is replaced, when the probe mounting head of the measuring machine slides into the placement groove 31, the cover plate 33 will be squeezed by the probe mounting head of the measuring machine, so that the cover plate 33 moves towards the spring 34 and compresses the spring 34. When the probe mounting head of the measuring machine is removed from the placement groove 31, the spring 34 will push the cover plate 33 to reset and protect the probe.

[0035] The inner wall of the placement groove 31 is provided with a limiting groove 35, and both sides of the cover plate 33 are provided with limiting blocks 36. The limiting blocks 36 slide in the limiting groove 35. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 35 and the limiting blocks 36, the cover plate 33 can be limited.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The support base 1 has a first groove 11 on both sides, which is arranged vertically. A first screw 12 is rotatably installed inside the first groove 11. The two first screws 12 are arranged symmetrically. A first connecting block 13 is threadedly connected to each of the two first screws 12. A first sliding groove 16 is provided on the surface of the support base 1. The first connecting block 13 slides in the first sliding groove 16 and is fixedly connected to the support rod 2. A housing 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 1. A drive assembly 15 for driving the first screw 12 to rotate is provided inside the housing 14. With the arrangement of the first screw 12, the first connecting block 13, the housing 14 and the drive assembly 15, when the probe is replaced, the drive assembly 15 can be activated to drive the two first screws 12 to rotate, so that the first screw 12 drives the first connecting block 13 to slide vertically along the first groove 11, so that the first connecting block 13 drives the support rod 2 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the placement base 3 and facilitating the replacement of the probe.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The drive assembly 15 includes a first motor 151, a worm gear 152, a worm wheel 153, a support shaft 154, a first bevel gear 155, and a second bevel gear 156. The first motor 151 is fixedly installed inside the housing 14. The worm gear 152 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 151. The worm wheel 153 is fixedly installed on the support shaft 154 and meshes with the worm gear 152. The support shaft 154 is rotatably installed inside the housing 14. The first bevel gear 155 is fixedly installed at the end of the support shaft 154. The second bevel gear 156 is fixedly installed on the first screw 12 and meshes with the first bevel gear 155. By setting up the drive assembly 15, the first motor 151 can be started to drive the worm gear 152 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 153 to rotate. The worm wheel 153 drives the support shaft 154 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 155 to rotate. The first bevel gear 155 then drives the second bevel gear 156 to rotate, which in turn drives the first screw 12 to rotate.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The support rod 2 has a second groove 21 inside, and a second screw 22 is rotatably installed inside the second groove 21. A second motor 24 is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod 2, and the output end of the second motor 24 is fixedly connected to the second screw 22. A second connecting block 23 is threadedly connected to the second screw 22. A second sliding groove 25 is opened on the surface of the support rod 2, and the second connecting block 23 slides in the second sliding groove 25. The second connecting block 23 is fixedly connected to the placement seat 3. With the arrangement of the second screw 22, the second connecting block 23 and the second motor 24, when the probe is replaced, the second motor 24 can be started to drive the two second screws 22 to rotate, so that the second screws 22 drive the second connecting block 23 to move horizontally along the second groove 21, so that the second connecting block 23 drives the placement seat 3 to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the position of the placement seat 3 and facilitating the replacement of the probe.

[0039] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: Probes can be stored in different placement slots 31, with the upper end of the probe resting on the support plate 32 and the probe tip pointing downwards, passing between the two support plates 32. When replacing the probe, the drive assembly 15 can be activated to drive the two first screws 12 to rotate, causing the first screws 12 to drive the first connecting block 13 to slide vertically along the first groove 11, causing the first connecting block 13 to drive the support rod 2 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the placement seat 3. At the same time, the second motor 24 can be activated to drive the two second screws 22 to rotate, causing the second screws 22 to drive the second connecting block 23 to move horizontally along the second groove 21, causing the second connecting block 23 to drive the placement seat 3 to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the height of the placement seat 3. The position of the mounting base 3 can be adjusted to facilitate sliding the probe mounting head of the measuring machine into the placement groove 31, clamping the upper end of the probe, and then removing it from the placement groove 31 to complete the probe replacement. Through the arrangement of the cover plate 33 and spring 34, during normal storage, the spring 34 applies elastic force to the cover plate 33, causing the cover plate 33 to cover the probe and protect it. When replacing the probe, as the probe mounting head of the measuring machine slides into the placement groove 31, the cover plate 33 is pressed by the probe mounting head, causing the cover plate 33 to move towards the spring 34 and compress the spring 34. After the probe mounting head of the measuring machine is removed from the placement groove 31, the spring 34 pushes the cover plate 33 to reset, protecting the probe.
