The limit locking device is installed at the lower end of the tensioner body and is used to limit the king-shaped gauge.

[0005] Furthermore, the conical inner liner of the tensioner consists of two parts: the top part is engaged with the tensioner body, and the bottom part is a spring collet. The king-shaped gauge is connected inside the spring collet. The conical inner liner of the tensioner moves up and down along the axis and generates a clamping force on the king-shaped gauge.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner side of the pull handle is provided with a crossbeam, the end of the crossbeam is connected to the positioning pointer sleeve through a shaft pin, the end of the positioning pointer sleeve is provided with a positioning pointer connecting rod, one end of the positioning pointer connecting rod is connected to the positioning pointer sleeve through a positioning pointer spring, and the other end is connected to a positioning pointer;

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, 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.

[0027] This utility model provides a high-precision CNC machine tool magazine clamping force detection device, which belongs to the detection tool in the manufacturing process of electronic circuit products, and specifically relates to the detection and control technology of clamping force of high-precision CNC machine tool magazine in the manufacturing process of high-precision printed circuit boards.

[0028] See attached document Figure 1-4 The high-precision CNC machine tool magazine clamping force detection device of this utility model mainly includes a tension handle 1, a tensioner body 2, a handle fastening bolt 3, a conical inner liner of the tensioner 4, a king-shaped gauge 5, a limit locking device 7, a washer 8, an adjusting nut 9, a positioning pointer 10, a positioning pointer spring 11, a shaft pin 12, a positioning pointer sleeve 13, a positioning pointer connecting rod 14, a screw hole 15, a spherical positioning groove 16, and scale lines 17, etc.

[0029] The tensioner body 2 consists of three functional areas, including the main body, which has a hollow cavity in the middle and a flange on each side. The hollow cavity of the tensioner body 2 is tapered, with a taper range of 5-15 degrees.

[0030] A tension handle 1 is provided on the top of the tensioner body 2; the tension handle 1 is connected to the tensioner body 2 by a handle fastening bolt 3. Two mounting holes are evenly distributed along the diameter of the upper flange of the tensioner body 2 for connecting to the tension handle 1. The two sides of the tension handle 1 are inserted into the mounting holes and fastened by the handle fastening bolt 3.

[0031] The conical inner liner 4 of the tensioner is placed inside the hollow cavity, and the adjusting nut 9 is connected to the upper end of the conical inner liner 4 that protrudes from the hollow cavity. The conical inner liner 4 consists of two parts: the top part mates with the tensioner body 2, and the lower part is a spring collet. The middle part of the conical inner liner 4 is designed as a through-cavity, and the lower half of the through-cavity is the spring collet. The inner diameter of the through-cavity is 3.175mm. Inside the spring collet is a vertically movable king-shaped gauge 5. One end of the king-shaped gauge 5 mates with the spring collet, and the other end is connected to the test base 6 of the tool magazine of the CNC machine tool to be tested. The clamping force between the king-shaped gauge 5 and the conical inner liner 4 can be adjusted by the adjusting nut 9.

[0032] The upper surface of the adjusting nut 9 has a laser-etched scale, which consists of several scale lines 17. The depth of each scale line 17 is 30-50 μm, and the width is 0.10 mm. A spherical positioning groove 16 is located at the inner end of each scale line 17. These spherical positioning grooves 16 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the center of the adjusting nut 9, with a quantity of 60-180 grooves. The adjusting nut 9 has a threaded hole 15 inside, with fine-pitch precision threads on the inner wall and a rolled pattern design on the outside. The top of the tapered inner liner 4 of the tensioner is threaded into the threaded hole 15. A washer 8 is provided between the lower surface of the adjusting nut 9 and the upper surface of the tensioner body 2.

[0033] A crossbeam is provided on the inner side wall of the pull handle 1. The end of the crossbeam is connected to the positioning pointer sleeve 13 via a pin 12. The lower end of the positioning pointer sleeve 13 is connected to a positioning pointer connecting rod 14 with a positioning pointer 10. One end of the positioning pointer connecting rod 14 is connected to the positioning pointer sleeve 13 via a positioning pointer spring 11, and the other end is connected to the positioning pointer 10. The end of the positioning pointer 10 is spherical. The positioning pointer connecting rod 14 and the positioning pointer 10 can move up and down. The positioning pointer 10 can be used in conjunction with the pre-designed spherical positioning groove 16 and scale line 17 on the upper surface of the adjusting nut 9. There is a certain interaction force between the positioning pointer 10 and the spherical positioning groove 16. When the adjusting nut 9 rotates around the precision screw hole 15, it can generate a slight vibration and sound, which is easy for the operator to identify.

[0034] A limiting locking device 7 is provided at the lower end of the tensioner body 2. The limiting locking device 7 is L-shaped and can ensure that the king-shaped gauge 5 can move up and down within a limited range inside the spring collet. The limiting locking device 7 can be an L-shaped rod, with one L-shaped bent end located outside the tensioner body 2 and the other straight end inserted into the king-shaped gauge 5 inside the spring collet.

[0035] Before actual use, first check that all functional components of the device are intact and functioning effectively. The specific operating steps are as follows: Place the king-shaped gauge 5 inside the conical inner liner 4 of the tensioner, and then rotate the adjusting nut 9 clockwise or counterclockwise. The bonding force between the conical inner liner 4 of the tensioner and the king-shaped gauge 5 can be adjusted through the spherical positioning groove 16 and the scale on its surface. The bonding force increases when rotated clockwise and decreases when rotated counterclockwise. After the bonding force is set, adjust the limit locking device 7 to an appropriate position to prevent the king-shaped gauge 5 from falling off or entering the spring collet during use. When measuring the clamping force of the tool magazine, place the king-shaped gauge 5 in the test base 6 of the tool magazine, and then hold the tension handle 1 with your hand to observe the up and down movement of the test base 6. This allows for a simple, intuitive, accurate, and quick determination of whether the clamping force of the tool magazine meets the process requirements.

[0036] This invention utilizes an adjusting nut at the top of the tool magazine clamping force detection device to move the conical inner liner of the tensioner up and down along its axial direction. During this movement, the clamping force between the spring collet of the conical inner liner and the king-shaped gauge changes accordingly. The clamping force can be adjusted visually via the scale lines on the adjusting nut's surface. The lower part of the king-shaped gauge is connected to the component being tested. This device allows for a quick, simple, and direct determination of whether the clamping force of a high-precision CNC machine tool tool magazine is within acceptable limits, providing strong support for rapid, efficient, and high-quality production, and offering effective guidance for technical personnel.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
