Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing technology, and in particular to a tool adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of metal processing, precise tool adjustment and efficient tool replacement play a crucial role in ensuring machining quality, improving production efficiency, and reducing production costs. With the rapid development of modern manufacturing, the requirements for machining accuracy, surface quality, and production efficiency of metal parts are becoming increasingly stringent. Correspondingly, higher standards and demands are being placed on metal processing tool adjustment devices.
[0003] Traditional metalworking tool adjustment devices have several limitations in terms of precision. On the one hand, their adjustment mechanisms are often rudimentary, making it difficult to achieve precise control over the tool's position and angle. For example, in milling and turning processes, even minor deviations in the tool can lead to inaccurate dimensions and unsatisfactory surface roughness in the machined metal parts, severely impacting product quality and performance. On the other hand, tool adjustment is cumbersome, reliant on manual operation, and requires multiple manual measurements and calibrations, resulting in lengthy adjustment times and low production efficiency. For complex machining tasks requiring frequent tool changes, such as multi-stage machining or machining of high-precision parts, the inefficient adjustment methods of traditional devices have become a significant factor restricting production progress.
[0004] Secondly, in metal processing, different machining tasks often require different types and specifications of cutting tools. However, existing tool changing devices are usually inconvenient, complex, and time-consuming to operate. When a tool needs to be changed, multiple components may need to be disassembled and reinstalled, which not only increases the workload of operators but also leads to longer machine tool downtime, affecting overall production efficiency. Moreover, due to the inconvenience of the changing process, installation errors are prone to occur, further affecting machining accuracy. In addition, tool storage and selection are not convenient enough, making it impossible to quickly and accurately locate the required tool, resulting in a waste of time and resources.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a tool adjustment device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the tool adjustment device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model provides a tool adjustment device. Through slide rails and pneumatic rods on both sides of the column, the vertical position of the U-shaped block can be precisely controlled. Combined with the flexible movement of the robotic arm, precise adjustment of the tool in three-dimensional space can be achieved. Compared with traditional tool adjustment devices, it avoids the large errors caused by manual adjustment, and can adjust the tool to the required precise position, greatly improving the accuracy of tool adjustment.

[0016] 2. This utility model provides a tool adjustment device that utilizes multiple slots on a turntable to store different tool heads. A second motor drives the turntable to rotate, facilitating the selection of the desired tool head. The magnetic blocks in the adsorption slots of the adsorption plate magnetically attract the rectangular plate of the tool head, and combined with further fixing by bolts, enabling rapid and convenient tool replacement.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 A tool adjustment device includes: a column 1, with slide rails 4 fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the column 1, and a U-shaped block 7 slidably connected to both slide rails 4; mounting blocks 5 fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the column 1, and pneumatic rods 6 fixedly connected to the lower ends of both mounting blocks 5; the telescopic ends of the two pneumatic rods 6 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the U-shaped blocks 7; a robotic arm 8 is mounted on the right side of the U-shaped blocks 7, and a processing component is provided at the lower end of the robotic arm 8; a mounting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the column 1; a second motor 15 is mounted at the lower end of the mounting plate 14; the output shaft of the second motor 15 passes through the mounting plate 14 and is fixedly connected to a turntable; the turntable has multiple placement slots 18, and a tool head is placed in each placement slot 18; and a base plate 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the column 1, with expansion screws 3 passing through the base plate 2.
[0024] It should be noted that the sliding connection between slide rail 4 and U-block 7 uses a high-precision guide rail slider to ensure the stability and straightness of U-block 7 during the up and down sliding process. This effectively reduces gaps and shaking during the movement, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the tool adjustment device in the height direction.
[0025] The processing component includes a fixed plate 9 fixedly connected to the lower end of the robotic arm 8. A first motor 10 is installed on the upper end of the fixed plate 9. The output shaft of the first motor 10 passes through the fixed plate 9 and is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 20. An adsorption plate 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 20. An adsorption groove is provided at the lower end of the adsorption plate 12. A magnetic block is embedded in the top of the adsorption groove. A rectangular plate 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each cutter head. The rectangular plate 16 is magnetic. The adjacent sides of the rectangular plate 16 and the magnetic block are attracted by opposite polarities. A through hole 17 is provided on each rectangular plate 16. A bolt 19 is threadedly connected to the adsorption plate 12. The bolt 19 passes through the adsorption groove.
[0026] It should be noted that the first motor 10 uses a high-performance servo motor with high-precision speed control and torque output capabilities. Its built-in encoder accurately feeds back the motor's speed and angle information. Through closed-loop feedback adjustment with the control system, it ensures accurate angle adjustment of the tool during machining, meeting the requirements for precise tool angle control in complex metal processing. Furthermore, the servo motor driver has multiple protection functions, such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and overload protection, effectively preventing damage to machining components and tools due to motor malfunctions, thus improving the safety and reliability of the entire tool adjustment device. The design of the adsorption slots and magnetic blocks on the adsorption plate 12 not only facilitates quick tool replacement, but the magnetic strength of the magnetic blocks is also carefully designed to ensure the firmness of tool adsorption while avoiding potential damage to the tool from excessive magnetism. Simultaneously, the magnetic design of the rectangular plate 16 ensures positioning accuracy during the adsorption process, reducing tool installation errors.
[0027] Among them, a fan 13 and a hollow plate 11 are installed on the left side of the column 1. The fan 13 and the adjacent side of the hollow plate 11 are connected by a short pipe. Multiple air outlets are provided on the rear side of the hollow plate 11.
[0028] It should be noted that the blower 13 is a high-flow, low-noise centrifugal blower, which can effectively blow away the debris and dust that adhere to the cutter head during the processing, ensuring a clean processing environment.
[0029] The working principle of the tool adjustment device provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the device is fixed to the work site by the expansion screws 3 on the base plate 2 to ensure the stability of the device during operation.
[0030] When the tool needs to be adjusted, the pneumatic rods 6 on the front and rear sides of the column 1 come into play. The pneumatic rods 6 extend and retract, causing the U-shaped block 7 to slide up and down along the slide rail 4, thereby adjusting the height position of the U-shaped block 7 on the column 1 according to actual needs.
[0031] The robotic arm 8 mounted on the right side of the U-shaped block 7 can extend, retract, and adjust its angle to achieve precise control over the position of the processing components.
[0032] The first motor 10 in the processing assembly starts, and its output shaft drives the rotating rod 20 to rotate. The adsorption plate 12 fixed at the lower end of the rotating rod 20 rotates accordingly. A magnetic block is embedded in the top of the adsorption groove of the adsorption plate 12. The cutter head placed in the turntable placement groove 18 has a rectangular plate 16 fixedly connected to its upper end, which is magnetic and attracts the adjacent sides of the magnetic block with opposite polarities. In this way, by moving the robotic arm 8, the adsorption plate 12 is aligned with the rectangular plate 16 of the required cutter head. The cutter head is adsorbed onto the adsorption plate 12 by the magnetic force between the magnetic block and the rectangular plate 16. At the same time, each rectangular plate 16 is provided with a through hole 17. The bolt 19 threaded on the adsorption plate 12 passes through the adsorption groove. After the cutter head is adsorbed, the bolt 19 can be tightened to further fix the cutter head and ensure that the cutter head will not fall off during processing.
[0033] The second motor 15 at the lower end of the mounting plate 14 on the right side of the column 1 is started, and its output shaft drives the turntable to rotate. The turntable is provided with multiple placement slots 18, each slot 18 holding a cutter head of different specifications or types. The rotation angle of the turntable is precisely controlled by the second motor 15, so that the required cutter head is rotated to a position that is convenient for adsorption by the adsorption plate 12.
[0034] During the cutting process, the fan 13 installed on the left side of the column 1 is started. The fan 13 delivers air through a short pipe into the hollow plate 11, and then blows it out from multiple air outlets on the rear side of the hollow plate 11. The blown air can blow away the debris and dust on the cutting head, ensuring the cleanliness of the cutting head and thus ensuring the accuracy of subsequent machining.
[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
