DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The utility model is described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. Note that the aspects described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments are only exemplary and should not be understood as limiting the protection scope of the utility model.

Figure 3 The working scene applicable to the utility model is shown. Figure 4 The relevant structure design of the utility model is applicable to the large gantry machining center accessory. Figure 6 to Figure 8 The embodiment analysis diagram of the calibration tool for spindle positioning of the large gantry machining center of the utility model is shown.
[0030] The following describes the process of rotating the spindle 71 to the set position by the calibration tool, ensuring that the inner ring gear of the spindle 71 meshes with the driving gear 62, and the accessory positioning block 60 and the positioning hole 74 are correctly inserted after grabbing the accessory 6 to smoothly grab the accessory, that is, the embodiment of the calibration tool for spindle positioning of the large gantry machining center.
[0031] When using the calibration tool, first, ensure that the accessory 6 on the spindle box 7 has been returned to the accessory library, the machine tool equipment enters the manual mode, and the spindle box 7 is opened to a relatively wide position of the workbench 10 and rises along the Z-axis direction or the cross beam 6 to a distance to expose the bottom of the spindle box 7, as shown in Figure 3 At this time, the maintenance operator at the operating table of the large gantry machining center must adjust the machine spindle rotation measurement feedback mode to half-closed loop, unlock the spindle motor 72 brake, and start to perform the initial zero reset related operation. Note that the equipment must be checked again to ensure that it is in complete manual operation mode for safety considerations, and more than two people must be present to monitor the operation throughout the process. After completing the above numerical control system operation, the maintenance personnel hold the calibration tool as shown in Figure 6 The gear end of the mandrel 1 is inserted into the spindle box and tightly meshes with the inner ring gear of the spindle 71. At this time, the gear end surface of the mandrel 1 should not touch the bottom end of the inner ring gear of the spindle 71, the positioning block 3 position is not aligned with any positioning hole 74 on the spindle box, and the operator can hold the auxiliary plate 2 for rotation operation. Then, the operator should hold the auxiliary plate 2 to rotate the calibration tool to drive the spindle 71 to rotate until the two positioning blocks 3 can be aligned with any diagonally distributed positioning hole 74 for insertion operation. As shown in Figure 8As shown, the maintenance personnel will keep the calibration tool locked after inserting it into the spindle box 70, and then another maintenance personnel will calibrate the position of the spindle 71 to zero on the numerical control interface of the operation platform, and start the brake of the spindle motor 72. Then take away the calibration tool, switch the operation mode of the equipment back to the automatic mode, and then execute the automatic accessory grabbing mode to verify the positioning effect. If the equipment executes the automatic accessory grabbing smoothly, especially the accessory clamping jaw 75 can smoothly pull up the accessory pull pin 61 until there is no gap between the spindle box 7 and the accessory 6, the spindle positioning calibration is successful this time.
