[0034] This application discloses an intelligent adapter tool holder; it includes an adapter tool holder body 100, a spindle connection part 200 for connecting a spindle is provided at the first end of the adapter tool holder body 100, and a tool connection part 300 for connecting a specified tool is provided at the second end of the adapter tool holder body 100; a housing 400 is sleeved on the outside of the adapter tool holder body 100, and a tool holder information monitoring module 500 is provided between the housing 400 and the adapter tool holder body 100 to monitor the status information parameters of the tool.
[0035] In this embodiment, one end of the adapter tool holder body 100 is connected to the machining spindle via the spindle connection part 200, so that rotational power is transmitted to the adapter tool holder body 100 through the machining spindle during use; the other end of the adapter tool holder body 100 is connected to a specified type of tool holder 700 / tool via the tool connection part 300; a housing 400 is sleeved on the outside of the adapter tool holder body 100, and a tool holder information monitoring module 500 is provided between the housing 400 and the adapter tool holder body 100 to monitor the status information parameters of the tool. The housing 400 can protect the tool holder information monitoring module 500. The intelligent adapter tool holder shown in this embodiment can monitor the status information parameters of various types of tool holders 700 / tools connected to the tool connection part 300, thereby completing real-time monitoring of the status of the corresponding tool holder 700 / tool. This allows operators to make corresponding adjustments and revisions to parameters based on the status information of the tool holder 700 / tool, in order to control the processing quality of the final product. Furthermore, the tool holder information monitoring module 500 is located on the adapter tool holder body 100 to monitor the status of various types of tools, which avoids the need for a separate intelligent monitoring module for each tool holder 700 / tool, thus reducing the cost of use.
[0036] In one optional implementation, the tool holder information monitoring module 500 includes a strain acquisition component 510, which monitors various stress information during the machining process of the tool holder 700 / tool, mainly involving axial force, torque, transverse force and lateral force, so that the operator can understand the accurate machining status in real time and take corresponding abnormal situation handling measures to avoid accidental factors affecting the molding quality of the product.
[0037] In one optional embodiment, the outer wall of the adapter tool holder body 100 is provided with a first annular groove 110 located inside the housing 400, and the acquisition end 511 of the strain acquisition component 510 is disposed at the bottom of the first annular groove 100. The first annular groove 110 on the outer wall of the adapter tool holder body 100 can reduce the outer diameter of the adapter tool holder body 100 at this location, ensuring the accuracy of the data acquired by the acquisition end 511 of the strain acquisition component 510. When the adapter tool holder body 100 is directly connected to a designated tool holder 700 / tool through the tool connection part 300, the processing status information of the connected designated tool holder 700 / tool can be directly and accurately acquired. The acquisition end 511 can be, for example, a strain gauge, which can be connected and fixed to the first annular groove 100 by adhesive bonding.
[0038] In one optional implementation, the strain acquisition component 510 includes a tool holder pressure acquisition module, a tool holder lateral force acquisition module, and a tool holder side force acquisition module. By acquiring the pressure, lateral force, and side force of the tool holder 700 / tool, the machining process status information of the tool holder 700 / tool can be clearly displayed. At the same time, through the above three force monitoring, the operator can perform tool setting operations through force feedback, which is undoubtedly more accurate than the traditional experience-based tool setting operation, and does not require repeated trial and error to set the tool, thus making the tool setting efficiency higher.
[0039] In one optional implementation, the tool holder information monitoring module 500 further includes a tool holder torque acquisition component 520; by monitoring the torque magnitude of the tool holder 700 / tool in real time, the completeness of the feedback information can be further improved, which can further help improve the processing quality of the formed product; at the same time, the feedback of the torque magnitude can also further ensure the high accuracy and high efficiency of tool setting during tool setting operation; the tool holder information monitoring module 500 may also include an acceleration acquisition component to collect the three-dimensional vibration information of the tool holder / tool during actual operation, further improving the information collection level.
[0040] In one optional embodiment, the tool holder information monitoring module 500 includes a power module 530 disposed within the housing 400 and an antenna module 540 embedded outside the housing 400. The antenna module 540 embedded outside the housing 400 improves data transmission accuracy and avoids misjudgments due to data errors. The power module 530 supplies power to the electrical components in the tool holder information monitoring module 500, such as the tool holder torque acquisition component 520, strain acquisition component 510, and antenna module 540. The tool holder information monitoring module 500 may also include a charging port disposed outside the housing 400, through which the power module 530 can be charged. Optionally, a removable sealing plug is provided inside the charging port. Further, the tool holder information monitoring module 500 may include a control panel disposed outside the housing 400, through which preset commands can be executed. The control panel may include a display panel to display tool status information for easy and intuitive understanding by the operator.
[0041] In one optional embodiment, a shaft flange 120 is provided on the outer side of the adapter tool holder body 100. A second annular groove is formed on the side of the shaft flange 120 facing the spindle connection part 200. The bottom of the housing 400 is sealed and locked in the second annular groove, and the housing 400 and the adapter tool holder body 100 are sealed together.
[0042] In this embodiment, the housing 400 is supported and fixed by the shaft flange 120, and a second annular groove is opened on the shaft flange 120 so that the bottom of the housing 400 can be inserted into it, which can achieve good positioning and sealing effect. At the same time, the housing 400 and the adapter tool holder body 100 are also sealed, which enables the tool holder information monitoring module 500 to operate normally when used in a humid or liquid environment.
[0043] In one alternative embodiment, the housing 400 includes a cylinder 410 sleeved on the outside of the adapter handle body 100, the bottom of the cylinder 410 being sealed and engaged in the second annular groove; the top of the cylinder 410 is sealed and connected to a cylinder cover 420, which is sealed and sleeved on the outside of the adapter handle body 100.
[0044] In this embodiment, the cylindrical 410 is designed to minimize resistance when rotating synchronously with the adapter tool holder body 100, and is also less likely to interfere with other components of the machining device. The cylindrical 410 is provided with a cap 420, and the cap 420 is sealed to both the cylindrical 410 and the adapter tool holder body 100. This further improves the sealing performance of this embodiment during machining. For example, when using cutting fluid, it can effectively prevent the cutting fluid from entering and prevent the cutting fluid from contacting the electrical components in the tool holder information monitoring module 500, which could lead to damage.
[0045] In one optional embodiment, a stepped flange 130 is also provided on the outer side of the adapter tool holder body 100. The stepped flange 130 is located on the side of the shaft flange 120 facing the tool connection part 300. The outer wall of the stepped flange 130 is provided with a set screw hole 131 connected to the tool connection part 300 and / or the outer wall of the stepped flange 130 is provided with a separation hole 132 connected to the tool connection part 300.
[0046] In this embodiment, a set screw hole 131 is provided on the outer wall of the stepped flange 130 to connect with the tool connection part 300. When the tool connection part 300 is connected to the tool holder 700 / tool, the tool holder / tool can be tightened by screwing a bolt into the set screw hole 131. A separation hole 132 is provided on the outer wall of the stepped flange 130 to connect with the tool connection part 300. When the tool connection part 300 is connected to the tool holder 700 / tool, a separator can be inserted into the separation hole 132. The separator applies an outward force to the tool holder 700 / tool, thereby helping the tool holder 700 / tool to be smoothly disengaged from the tool connection part 300.
[0047] In one optional embodiment, the tool connecting part 300 includes a tapered hole 310 formed at the second end of the adapter tool holder body 100, with the large end of the tapered hole 310 facing outward; the spindle connecting part 200 includes a connecting hole 210 formed at the first end of the adapter tool holder body 100 and communicating with the tapered hole 310; a threaded rivet assembly 600 is provided at the connection between the tapered hole 310 and the connecting hole 210, with the threaded end of the threaded rivet assembly 600 facing the tapered hole 310.
[0048] In this embodiment, after the tool holder 700 / tool is inserted into the tapered hole 310, the outer tapered surface of the tool holder 700 / tool abuts against the inner tapered surface of the tapered hole 310. A threaded rivet assembly 600 is provided at the connection between the tapered hole 310 and the connecting hole 210, with the threaded end of the threaded rivet assembly 600 facing the tapered hole 310. This allows the threaded rivet assembly 600 to thread and fix various types of tool holders 700 / tools inserted into the tapered hole 310. Only the rivet of the corresponding model matching the tool holder 700 / tool needs to be replaced at the connecting hole 210. In an optional embodiment, the second end of the adapter tool holder body 100 has a key 140 or a keyway because the tool holder 700 inserted into the tapered hole 310... The tool usually has a key or keyway, so a corresponding key 140 or keyway needs to be set at the second end of the adapter tool holder body 100 to provide a rotation direction limit through the cooperation of the key and keyway. At this time, if there is no connecting hole 210, the threaded puller assembly 600 cannot achieve threaded connection and fixation with the tool holder / tool after the key and keyway are inserted into each other to form a rotation direction limit. Therefore, the tapered hole 310 needs to be connected to the connecting hole 210. In this way, after the key and keyway are inserted between the adapter tool holder body 100 and the tool holder 700 / tool inserted into the tapered hole 310, the threaded puller assembly 600 can be screwed from the connecting hole 210 to achieve the threaded fixed connection between the threaded puller assembly 600 and the tool holder / tool.
[0049] In one alternative embodiment, the tool connecting part 300 may also be connected to the tool holder in other ways, such as side clamping fixation, pneumatic clamping, etc.
[0050] In one alternative embodiment, the spindle connection 200 further includes an external pull pin assembly 220, one end of which is detachably connected to the connection hole 210; for example, the connection hole 210 and the external pull pin assembly 220 are threaded together; the other end of the external pull pin assembly 220 is used to connect to the spindle.
