Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machining, and in particular to a probe protection device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently available machine tool probe protection devices, especially in terms of appearance protection, are inadequate, easily causing scratches and deformation to the probe's surface. Scratches and damage are particularly common during installation, reducing the probe's lifespan. Furthermore, because machine tool probes emit and receive infrared signals during operation, they are susceptible to interference from different wavelengths of infrared light, leading to detection errors during use. Therefore, a probe protection device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.
[0004] A probe protection device includes a handle, on the top of which a probe is vertically mounted. A transparent protective cover is vertically fitted over the probe, and the transparent protective cover and the probe are interference-fitted, so that the transparent protective cover can be fastened to the outside of the probe and fit the probe tightly. The transparent protective cover is provided with a nano-coating, and the nano-coating is applied around the outer surface of the transparent protective cover, and the nano-coating and the transparent protective cover are at the same horizontal plane.
[0005] Preferably, a through hole is provided between the probe and the transparent protective cover, and the through hole is formed at the top of the transparent protective cover and extends through the transparent protective cover.
[0006] Preferably, a threaded deep hole is provided between the probe and the transparent protective cover, and the threaded deep hole is formed at the top of the probe, and the screw deep hole is recessed downward.
[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the nano-coating allows the transparent protective cover to filter excess infrared light waves when protecting the probe, reducing interference to the probe. The transparent protective cover is made of soft and transparent silicone material, allowing the appearance of the probe, indicator lights, etc., to be clearly seen through it. This allows users to keep track of the probe's operating status in a timely manner. The soft, lightweight, and transparent material enables the probe to operate safely, stably, and efficiently, protecting it from impacts, scratches, deformation, etc., indirectly extending the probe's lifespan and reducing user costs.
[0008] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0014] 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.
[0015] Please see Figure 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, the probe protection device includes a handle 1, with a probe 2 vertically mounted at the top of the handle 1. A transparent protective cover 3 is vertically fitted over the probe 2, and the transparent protective cover 3 is interference-fitted with the probe 2, allowing the transparent protective cover 3 to be securely fastened to the outside of the probe 2 and fit tightly against it. The transparent protective cover 3 is provided with a nano-coating 6, which is applied around the outer surface of the transparent protective cover 3 and is at the same horizontal plane as the transparent protective cover 3. Thus, the nano-coating 6 enables the transparent protective cover 3 to provide light-blocking and filtering protection for the probe 2. The transparent protective cover 3 is made of soft and transparent silicone material. Through the transparent protective cover, the appearance of the probe, indicator lights, etc., can be clearly seen, allowing the user to keep track of the probe's operating status. Soft, lightweight, and transparent, it enables the probe to operate safely, stably, and efficiently, protecting the probe from impacts, scratches, deformation, etc., indirectly extending the probe's lifespan and reducing user costs.
[0016] A through hole 4 is provided between the probe 2 and the transparent protective cover 3. The through hole 4 is formed at the top of the transparent protective cover 3 and passes through the transparent protective cover 3. The probe (not shown in the figure) can then pass through the through hole 4 and connect with the probe 2.
[0017] A threaded deep hole 5 is also provided between the probe 2 and the transparent protective cover 3. The threaded deep hole 5 is formed at the top of the probe 2, and the threaded deep hole 5 is recessed downwards, so that the subsequent probe can be connected to the probe 2 through the threaded deep hole 5.
[0018] The composition of the nano-coating 6 is divided into three categories: a system consisting entirely of one nanomaterial, a composite system consisting of two (or more) nanomaterials, referred to as O-O composite; and a composite system with added nanomaterials, referred to as O-2 composite. The nano-coating 6 has a wide range of optical properties, and its optical transmission spectrum can extend from the ultraviolet band to the far-infrared band. After treatment, the nano-multilayer composite coating exhibits fluorescence in the visible light range.
[0019] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
