[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0025] The terminology used in the embodiments of this utility model is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the utility model. The singular forms “a,” “said,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this utility model and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise; “multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0026] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0027] Depending on the context, the words “if” or “suppose” as used here can be interpreted as “when” or “in response to determination” or “in response to detection.” Similarly, depending on the context, the phrases “if determination” or “if detection (of the stated condition or event)” can be interpreted as “when determination” or “in response to determination” or “when detection (of the stated condition or event)” or “in response to detection (of the stated condition or event).”

[0028] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.

[0029] Example 1: As Figure 1-4 As shown, an electrical control system for detecting tool wear of a grooving machine includes a grooving machine body, on which a Z-axis linear module 4, a W-axis linear module 5, and a P-axis linear module 6 for providing power are installed.

[0030] Three cutters are installed on the output sliders of the Z-axis linear module 4 and the W-axis linear module 5. The height and installation position of the three cutters on the Z-axis and W-axis are different, with each cutter differing by 15 micrometers. The first cutter is at the highest position, and the third cutter is at the lowest position. The third cutter is the final position that determines the groove depth. Therefore, the cutter compensation value can only be set based on the third cutter.

[0031] The output slider of the P-axis linear module 6 is connected to the tool setter 3 for detecting the tool;

[0032] The grooving machine body is also equipped with an alarm module 7 and a monitoring module 1 for collecting the position of the tool setter 3;

[0033] The tool setter 3, Z-axis linear module 4, W-axis linear module 5, P-axis linear module 6, alarm module 7, and monitoring module 1 are all electrically connected to the motion controller 2.

[0034] In use, the motion controller 2 sends control commands to the P-axis linear module 6, which in turn controls the tool setter 3 to move. When the monitoring module 1 detects that the tool setter 3 has moved to the commanded position, the tool setter 3 detects the tool and uploads the detection results to the motion controller 2. The motion controller 2 determines whether the detection results at multiple points are within the error range set by the system. If they are within the error range, the motion controller 2 controls the Z-axis linear module 4 or the W-axis linear module 5 to perform error compensation on the tool. If they are not within the error range, the motion controller 2 controls the alarm module 7 to sound an alarm.

[0035] This utility model enables touch detection of each tool through the tool setting device 3, and can compensate for the tool based on the detection results, avoiding resource waste caused by direct tool replacement. This device improves work efficiency and realizes the function of detecting and compensating for worn tools.

[0036] The Z-axis linear module 4 includes a Z-axis driver 41 and a Z-axis motor 42. Both the Z-axis driver 41 and the Z-axis motor 42 are fixedly mounted on the grooving machine body. The output end of the Z-axis driver 41 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the Z-axis motor 42.

[0037] The W-axis linear module 5 includes a W-axis driver 51 and a W-axis motor 52. Both the W-axis driver 51 and the W-axis motor 52 are fixedly installed on the main body of the grooving machine. The output end of the W-axis driver 51 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the W-axis motor 52.

[0038] The P-axis linear module 6 includes a P-axis driver 61 and a P-axis motor 62. Both the P-axis driver 61 and the P-axis motor 62 are fixedly mounted on the main body of the grooving machine. The output end of the P-axis driver 61 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the P-axis motor 62.

[0039] The motion controller 2 is electrically connected to the Z-axis driver 41, W-axis driver 51, and P-axis driver 61.

[0040] The alarm module 7 is equipped with multiple alarms, each located above a corresponding knife.

[0041] The alarm module 7 includes a tri-color light 71 and a buzzer 72, both of which are fixedly installed on the main body of the grooving machine. Both the tri-color light 71 and the buzzer 72 are electrically connected to the motion controller 2.

[0042] The monitoring module 1 is a high-definition camera.

[0043] The motion controller 2 sends control commands to the P-axis linear module 6, which controls the tool setter 3 to move. When the monitoring module 1 detects that the tool setter 3 has moved to the command point, the tool setter 3 detects the tool and uploads the detection results to the motion controller 2.

[0044] The tool setter 3 first checks the three tools on the Z-axis. Then, the motion controller 2 determines whether the check results of the three tools on the Z-axis are all within the error range set by the system. If the errors of the three tools on the Z-axis are all within the error range, the motion controller 2 controls the Z-axis linear module 4 to move downward according to the error value of the third tool on the Z-axis, so that the downward movement length of the Z-axis linear module 4 is equal to the error value of the third tool on the Z-axis, thereby completing the tool compensation of the three tools on the Z-axis. If the error of any one of the three tools on the Z-axis is not within the error range, the motion controller 2 controls the corresponding tool's three-color light 71 to light up and the buzzer 72 to sound, reminding the operator to change the tool.

[0045] The tool setter 3 then checks the three tools on the W-axis. The motion controller 2 then determines whether the check results of the three tools on the W-axis are all within the error range set by the system. If the errors of the three tools on the W-axis are all within the error range, the motion controller 2 controls the W-axis linear module 5 to move downward according to the error value of the third tool on the W-axis, so that the downward movement length of the W-axis linear module 5 is equal to the error value of the third tool on the W-axis, thereby completing the tool compensation of the three tools on the W-axis. If the error of any one of the three tools on the W-axis is not within the error range, the motion controller 2 controls the corresponding tool's tri-color light 71 to light up and the buzzer 72 to sound, reminding the operator to change the tool.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the claims of this utility model should fall within the technical scope of this utility model.
