Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automation, and in particular relates to a built-in workpiece inspection device and machining center. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, automated machining centers have made significant progress in the integration of processing and inspection. Automated machining centers can not only process workpieces, but also directly inspect the processed workpieces and provide real-time feedback on the processing accuracy, so as to complete complex and high-precision processing tasks. In existing machining centers, workpiece inspection devices are generally set up on the outside of the equipment. After the workpieces are processed inside, they need to be transported to a designated location on the outside for inspection. Such a setup and process requires the equipment to wait for inspection before continuing processing, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a built-in workpiece inspection device, which can directly inspect workpieces in the workspace by being built-in, thus greatly improving efficiency.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a built-in workpiece inspection device, including a first telescopic arm and a workpiece inspection component disposed on the first telescopic arm. The first telescopic arm can drive the workpiece inspection component to be housed in the machine body, and in the working state, the first telescopic arm extends outward into the working space, so that the workpiece inspection component can inspect the workpiece processed in the working space.

[0005] In the built-in workpiece inspection device described above, the first telescopic arm extends outward from the inner wall of the workspace into the workspace.

[0006] As described above, in the retracted state of the built-in workpiece inspection device, the first telescopic arm retracts into the inner cavity of the machine body, and the inner cavity has a channel opening communicating with the working space.

[0007] As described above, the built-in workpiece inspection device also has a sliding door on the inner wall of the working space for sealing the passage opening.

[0008] In the built-in workpiece inspection device described above, the first telescopic arm extends the workpiece inspection component into the workspace in a horizontal position, and the extended position is located below the main shaft.

[0009] As described above, in a built-in workpiece inspection device, the first telescopic arm includes a first mounting base and a first driving member connected to the first mounting base, wherein the first driving member is used to drive the first mounting base to move in a horizontal direction.

[0010] As described above, in a built-in workpiece inspection device, the workpiece inspection component is disposed on the front side of the first mounting base, and the workpiece inspection component is provided with a workpiece inspection probe extending upward perpendicular to the first mounting base.

[0011] In the built-in workpiece inspection device described above, the first driving component is a cylinder, and its output shaft is connected to the first mounting base.

[0012] In the built-in workpiece inspection device described above, the first mounting base is slidably disposed within the inner cavity.

[0013] This utility model also provides a machining center, including a machine body, the machine body having a working space, the machine body also having a spindle and a tool set located in the working space, and the machine body also having the aforementioned built-in workpiece detection device.

[0014] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model provides a built-in workpiece inspection device that can directly inspect workpieces processed within the workspace, avoiding the need to transport workpieces to a designated location outside the workspace for inspection. This shortens the waiting time required for the inspection process, thereby further improving equipment efficiency. Moreover, through its telescopic design, this solution allows the workpiece inspection component to be housed within the machine body during workpiece processing and extended into the workspace for inspection after processing is completed.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a built-in workpiece inspection device, including a first telescopic arm 21 and a workpiece inspection component 22 disposed on the first telescopic arm 21. The first telescopic arm 21 can drive the workpiece inspection component 22 to be housed inside the machine body 1. In the working state, the first telescopic arm 21 extends outward into the working space 101, allowing the workpiece inspection component 22 to inspect the workpieces processed in the working space 101. This solution uses a built-in workpiece inspection component, which can directly inspect the workpieces processed in the working space 101, avoiding the need to transport the workpieces to a designated location outside the working space for inspection, thereby shortening the waiting time required for the inspection process and further improving the efficiency of the equipment.

[0024] Furthermore, this solution, through its telescopic design, allows the workpiece detection component to be housed within the machine body during workpiece processing, and extended into the workspace for detection after processing is completed. This does not affect automated processing within the workspace and effectively protects the workpiece detection component.

[0025] After this improvement, the equipment can integrate advanced detection technology, achieving seamless integration of processing and inspection. It can detect workpiece dimensions and machining accuracy in real time after processing, and, in conjunction with a highly automated machining center, feed the data back to the control system, thereby achieving real-time automatic compensation and adjustment. This built-in direct detection method not only improves inspection efficiency but also reduces errors caused by manual intervention, significantly enhancing processing accuracy and production efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, the first telescopic arm 21 is set to drive the workpiece detection component 22 to move, so as to realize the detection work by retracting or extending it into the work space 101. Of course, by the system's judgment, it can also be prepared to extend when the processing work is about to be completed, so as to seamlessly connect the detection and further improve efficiency.

[0027] The storage location of the workpiece inspection component 22 in this solution is not limited to inside the workspace 101, but can also be set on the machine body or outside the machine body. It can also be moved into the workspace 101 by the first telescopic arm 21.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the first telescopic arm 21 extends outward from the inner wall portion 1011 of the workspace 101 into the workspace 101. It is housed within the inner side wall of the workspace 101, which is equivalent to being inside the body 1. This makes the structure more compact and minimizes the distance when the arm is extended in the working state, resulting in faster speed and further improving efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, for ease of storage, the inner wall of the body 1 within the workspace 101 has an inner cavity 1012. In the stored state, the first telescopic arm 21 retracts into the inner cavity 1012 of the body 1, and the inner cavity 1012 has a channel opening 1013 communicating with the workspace 101. When extended, it extends directly from the channel opening 1013 into the workspace, thus shortening the required extension distance of the first telescopic arm 21.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the inner cavity 1012, in addition to housing the workpiece detection component 22 and preventing obstruction of processing within the workspace 101, also protects the workpiece detection component 22, preventing debris from splashing onto it during processing. Therefore, this solution also provides a blocking structure at the channel opening 1013, which covers the channel opening 1013. When extension is required, the channel opening can be opened first. The blocking structure can be a cover or a door structure, and its opening method can be sliding or hinged. In this preferred embodiment, a sliding door 1014 is used, that is, a sliding door 1014 for blocking the channel opening 1013 is also provided on the inner wall 1011 of the workspace 101.

[0031] Of course, in this embodiment of the invention, in conjunction with the inverted spindle structure 9, the first telescopic arm 21 drives the workpiece detection component 22 to extend outward into the workspace 101 in a horizontal posture, and the extended position is located below the spindle 9. After the workpiece detection component 22 extends outward, the workpiece can be detected simply by the spindle 9 driving the workpiece downward.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the built-in workpiece detection device has the following structure: the first telescopic arm 21 includes a first mounting base 211 and a first driving member 212 connected to the first mounting base 211. The first driving member 212 is used to drive the first mounting base 211 to move horizontally. In this design, the first mounting base 211 has a long strip-shaped structure, which is equivalent to a telescopic arm. Its length supports the extended workpiece detection component 22. It can also be configured as a sleeve-type telescopic structure to achieve the above-mentioned storage or extension.

[0033] Of course, this solution combines direct installation on the inner wall of the workspace 101, which does not need to extend too far. Preferably, it is an integral first mounting base 211, and the first mounting base 211 is slidably disposed within the inner cavity 1012. Specifically, a fixed base 41 is provided in the inner cavity 1012 located below the first mounting base 211. By setting a slider on the fixed base 41 and a corresponding guide rail on the lower side of the first mounting base 211, the fixed base 41 can slidably support the first mounting base 211. The guide rail is located at the first mounting base 211 to adapt to its elongated structure, so as to save more space.

[0034] In addition, to improve accuracy, a positioning detection module can be set up to detect whether the first mounting base 211 is extended or extended into position. In this solution, it can also be centrally set on the fixed base 41. The positioning detection module 42 can use infrared or positioning switch, etc., to detect the movement of the first mounting base 211 to ensure the normal operation of the program.

[0035] This solution uses a first driving component 212 to move the first mounting base 211 horizontally. This can be achieved using a power system such as a motor, cylinder, or hydraulic system. Alternatively, the first driving component 212 can directly move the first mounting base 211 horizontally, or it can move the first mounting base 211 horizontally via a transmission component. Preferably, the first driving component 212 can be a cylinder, with its output shaft connected to the first mounting base 211. This results in a simpler and more compact structure.

[0036] Specifically, in this scheme, the cylinder body is installed in the inner cavity 1012 by the fixing member 2121, and its output end is connected to the front side of the first mounting base 211. Taking this scheme as an example, a connecting block is set on the first mounting base 211 that is opposite to the position of the cylinder output end for connection.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, the workpiece detection assembly 22 is disposed on the front side of the first mounting base 211, and the workpiece detection assembly 22 is provided with a workpiece detection probe 221 extending upward perpendicular to the first mounting base 211. It is used in conjunction with the inverted spindle 9, allowing the extended workpiece detection probe 221 to be closer to the workpiece on the spindle. This solution can detect workpiece parameters such as dimensional parameters, shape parameters, and positional parameters through the workpiece detection probe 221, specifically such as radial dimensions, axial dimensions, hole diameter, contour shape, surface flatness, and roughness. This can typically be achieved using a high-precision laser sensor, contact sensor, laser scanner, or machine vision system.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the front end of the first mounting base 211 has a stepped mounting portion 2110, and the workpiece detection component 22 is disposed on the mounting portion 2110.

[0039] This utility model also provides a machining center, including a body 1, which has a working space 101. The body 1 is also equipped with a spindle 9 and a tool set 91 located in the working space 101. The spindle 9 is inverted to facilitate chip removal during machining. The body 1 also includes a built-in workpiece inspection device. This allows for direct inspection of the workpiece within the working space 101 after machining, thereby shortening the inspection time and improving overall efficiency.

[0040] This utility model provides a built-in workpiece inspection device that can directly inspect workpieces processed within the workspace, avoiding the need to transport workpieces to a designated location outside the workspace for inspection. This shortens the waiting time required for the inspection process, thereby further improving equipment efficiency. Moreover, through its telescopic design, this solution allows the workpiece inspection component to be housed within the machine body during workpiece processing and extended into the workspace for inspection after processing is completed. This does not affect automated processing within the workspace and effectively protects the workpiece inspection component.

[0041] It should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in this utility model to describe various information, but this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this utility model, "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information. In addition, the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0042] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
