Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a gauge for numerical control machine tool, concretely relates to a gauge for detecting the perpendicularity of the spindle rotation axis and the machine tool moving axis. BACKGROUND

[0002] The perpendicularity of the spindle rotation axis (i.e. the spindle center line) and the machine tool moving axis (including the machine tool X-axis and the machine tool Y-axis) is one of the important parameters for the assembly and maintenance of the numerical control machine tool. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the existing gauge for detecting the perpendicularity of the spindle rotation axis and the machine tool moving axis includes a magnetic base A, a micrometer stand B and a micrometer C, and the micrometer stand B includes 4 movable joints D and 4 force arms E. Taking the machine tool Y-axis as an example, the method for detecting the perpendicularity of the spindle rotation axis and the machine tool Y-axis using the gauge is as follows: the magnetic base is adsorbed on the spindle end face, a square ruler is erected on the workbench and leveled, and then the spindle is horizontally moved to the workbench, so that the measuring head of the micrometer touches a certain position on the detection surface of one side of the square ruler, and the reading of the micrometer is measured. Then the micrometer is rotated 180° around the spindle, and the spindle is moved along the machine tool Y-axis direction (i.e. up and down), so that the measuring head of the micrometer moves to the same position on the detection surface of the square ruler, and the reading of the micrometer is measured again. The deviation is calculated by dividing the difference between the two readings by twice the distance between the measuring point of the micrometer and the spindle rotation axis. Similarly, the perpendicularity of the spindle rotation axis and the machine tool X-axis can be detected.

[0003] The above-mentioned gauge mainly has the following problems:

[0004] (1) Low data accuracy: in the measurement of the transverse spindle of the head boring machine and the horizontal milling machine, when detecting the perpendicularity of the spindle rotation axis and the machine tool moving axis, the gauge has many movable joints, long force arms and insufficient rigidity, which is greatly affected by gravity, resulting in a certain deviation between the actual detection value and the true detection value, and affecting the accuracy of the machine tool.

[0005] (2) Low detection efficiency: when detecting, not only the multiple movable joints and multiple force arms on the gauge need to be adjusted, but also the distance between the measuring point of the micrometer and the spindle rotation axis needs to be measured. Since the micrometer stand is long and has a large degree of freedom, the measurement of the distance between the measuring point of the micrometer and the spindle rotation axis is difficult, which affects the assembly progress of the machine tool.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings. The structures or components not specified in the utility model adopt the conventional technical means in the field.

[0028] Example 1: a gauge for detecting the perpendicularity of the rotation axis of the main shaft and the moving shaft of the machine tool, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , comprising a positioning rod 1, a table seat 2 and a micrometer 3, the micrometer 3 is detachably connected with the table seat 2, the table seat 2 is fixed to one end of the positioning rod 1, the width of the positioning rod 1 is adapted to the width of the key groove 41 of the end surface of the main shaft 4 of the machine tool, the length direction of the positioning rod 1 is provided with a long hole 11, the long hole 11 is used for mounting two screws 12, and the two screws 12 are used for fixing the positioning rod 1 to the key groove 41.

[0029] In example 1, as shown in Figures 4-6 , the table seat 2 comprises a clamping block 21 and a connecting rod 22, one end of the connecting rod 22 is threadedly connected with the positioning rod 1 and is fastened through a spring washer 23, the other end of the connecting rod 22 is rotationally connected with the clamping block 21, the clamping block 21 is used for clamping the mounting rod 31 at the top of the micrometer 3, specifically, the clamping block 21 is provided with a positioning hole 24 and a positioning groove 25, the positioning hole 24 and the positioning groove 25 are respectively up and down through, the positioning groove 25 is connected with the positioning hole 24 and straight through one side of the clamping block 21, the outer side wall of the clamping block 21 is provided with a locking cap 26, the positioning hole 24 is used for inserting the mounting rod 31, and the locking cap 26 is used for adjusting the width of the positioning groove 25 to clamp or loosen the mounting rod 31.

[0030] Taking the detection of the perpendicularity of the rotation axis of the main shaft and the Y-axis of the machine tool as an example, the use method of the above gauge is as follows: Figure 7As shown, a square gauge 6 is installed on the worktable 5. First, the positioning rod 1 is placed into the keyway 41 on the end face of the machine tool spindle 4. The position of the positioning rod 1 is adjusted so that the distance between the measuring point of the dial indicator 3 and the axis of rotation of the spindle meets the testing requirements. Then, the two screws 12 are tightened. Next, the spindle 4 is moved horizontally towards the worktable 5 so that the spindle 4 is close to the square gauge 6. Without rotating the spindle 4, the spindle 4 is moved up and down so that the spindle 4 moves along the Y-axis of the machine tool. Then, the square gauge 6 is adjusted so that the testing surface 61 on one side of the square gauge 6 is parallel to the Y-axis of the machine tool.

Then, the spindle 4 is rotated 180° so that the spindle 4 is moved along the Y-axis of the machine tool until the probe 32 of the dial indicator 3 touches the same position on the detection surface 61 of the square gauge 6, and the reading of the dial indicator 3 is measured again. The difference between the two readings is divided by twice the distance between the measuring point of the dial indicator 3 and the axis of rotation of the spindle to obtain the deviation. This deviation is the perpendicularity of the measured axis of rotation of the spindle to the Y-axis of the machine tool.

[0031] Using the same boring machine spindle 4 as the inspection object, the following methods were adopted: Figure 1 The existing fixture shown and the fixture of Example 1 were used to test the perpendicularity of the spindle rotation axis to the Y-axis of the boring machine. The test results are as follows:

[0033] The fixture in Example 1: The adjustment time during the entire testing process is 8 minutes, the testing time is 2 minutes, and the total testing time is 10 minutes. Five sets of perpendicularity data were measured at the same position: ① 0.007; ② 0.007; ③ 0.008; ④ 0.008; ⑤ 0.008.

[0034] Comparison results: Compared with existing inspection tools, the inspection tool of Example 1 has smaller detection error, better stability of detection data, and takes less time for the detection process, resulting in higher detection efficiency.
