These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the five-axis machine tool of this utility model includes: a machine tool base 1, on which an X-axis linear module 2 and a Y-axis linear module 3 are provided; a base 4 is arranged on the X-axis linear module 2; a rotary frame 5 and an A-axis rotary table 6 for driving the rotary frame 5 to rotate are rotatably mounted on the base 4; a platform 8 and a C-axis rotary table 7 for controlling the rotation of the platform 8 are arranged on the rotary frame 5; a gantry 9 is arranged on the machine tool base 1; a Z-axis linear module 10 is arranged on the gantry 9; the Z-axis linear module 10 is used to drive the laser 11, the galvanometer 12 and the field lens 13 to move along the Z-axis direction; and a coordinate detection component 14 is arranged on the gantry 9 for detecting and confirming the position coordinates of the workpiece surface on the platform 8.

[0022] See Figures 1 to 3 The Y-axis linear module 3 is mounted on the machine tool base 1. The X-axis linear module 2 is mounted on the Y-axis linear module 3 and is driven to move along the Y-axis direction by the Y-axis linear module 3. The X-axis linear module 2 is used to drive the base 4 to move along the X-axis direction. The base 4 is generally concave in shape. A rotating frame 5 is rotatably mounted on the base 4. The rotating frame 5 is driven to rotate by the A-axis rotary table 6 mounted on the base 4. The A-axis rotary table 6 is an A-axis DD motor module. The rotating frame 5 is equipped with a platform 8 for fixing the workpiece and a C-axis rotary table 7 for controlling the rotation of the platform 8. The C-axis rotary table 7 is a C-axis DD motor module.

[0023] It should be noted that the Y-axis linear module 3 is a Y-axis ironless double-motor linear module. The ironless linear motor contained in the Y-axis ironless double-motor linear module has the characteristics of no cogging effect, low friction and low inertia, which can achieve high-precision linear motion. In addition, the double-motor design allows the module to bear a larger load and is more stable.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The machine tool base 1 is equipped with a gantry 9, and a Z-axis linear module 10 is set on the gantry 9. The Z-axis linear module 10 is equipped with a laser 11, a galvanometer 12 and a field lens 13. The Z-axis linear module 10 can drive the laser 11, the galvanometer 12 and the field lens 13 to move vertically along the Z-axis. The laser 11 is used to emit a collimated laser beam toward the galvanometer 12. After the galvanometer 12 adjusts the collimated laser beam, it is reflected toward the field lens 13, and finally the laser beam is emitted through the field lens 13.

[0025] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 When the workpiece surface is curved, in order to ensure the processing effect of the laser beam on the workpiece surface, it is necessary to test the position of the workpiece surface. The coordinate detection component 14 is used to detect the position coordinates of the workpiece surface. The external mapping system processes the workpiece surface data transmitted by the coordinate detection component 14 to obtain the workpiece surface contour, so that the laser beam emitted by the field lens 13 can more accurately process the workpiece.

[0026] Specifically, when the workpiece surface is flat, there is no need to use the coordinate detection component 14 to detect the workpiece surface position information. When the workpiece surface is curved, the coordinate detection component 14 is required to detect the workpiece surface position information. When cutting, drilling, or welding the workpiece, the workpiece is first fixed on the stage 8. The Y-axis linear module 3 and X-axis linear module 2 are used to drive the workpiece to directly below the field lens 13. Then, the Z-axis linear module 10 is used to control the field lens 13 to move vertically along the Z-axis. At the same time, the A-axis turntable 6 and C-axis turntable 7 are used to focus the laser beam emitted by the field lens 13 on the workpiece to be processed, thereby realizing the processing of the workpiece. In this application, the A-axis turntable 6 controls the rotating frame 5 to rotate along the X-axis, and the C-axis turntable 7 controls the stage to rotate circumferentially on the rotating frame 5. The galvanometer 12 system responds quickly and precisely controls the deflection of the laser beam, so that the laser beam can be focused on different positions on the workpiece surface, thereby realizing high-precision processing of the workpiece. It has the characteristics of high workpiece processing accuracy and high efficiency, and is practical.

[0027] In one or more embodiments, the coordinate detection component 14 includes at least a driving device and a probe 141 driven by the driving device along the Z-axis direction; the driving device includes a cylinder 142 disposed on the gantry 9, a slide rail 143 vertically disposed on the gantry 9, and a slider 144 slidably disposed on the slide rail 143, wherein the extended shaft end of the cylinder 142 is connected to the slider 144, and the probe 141 is disposed at the bottom of the slider 144.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The probe 141 is connected to an external measuring device via a probe head. The cylinder 142 drives the slider 144 to move on the slide rail 143, so that the bottom end of the probe 141 contacts the surface of the workpiece. At the same time, the A-axis turntable 6 controls the rotation of the rotating frame 5 and the C-axis turntable 7 controls the rotation of the platform 8, so that the workpiece on the platform 8 can move and the probe 141 contacts the surface of the workpiece at different positions. The external mapping system processes the information collected by the probe 141 to obtain the position contour information of the workpiece surface, so that the focused laser beam emitted by the field lens 13 can more accurately process the surface of the workpiece, thereby improving the processing accuracy and processing effect of the workpiece in this application.

[0029] In one or more embodiments, a CCD coaxial vision system 15 is disposed on the gantry 9 facing the stage 8.

[0030] See Figure 2 The CCD vision system is set coaxially with the laser beam to achieve precise alignment between visual positioning and laser processing. The CCD vision system is used to acquire workpiece images in real time and perform precise processing to provide accurate positioning information for laser-processed workpieces. The CCD vision system includes at least an industrial camera.

[0031] In one or more embodiments, the base 4 is provided with an electromagnetic brake 16 for locking and limiting the rotation frame 5.

[0032] See Figure 3 The electromagnetic brake 16 is used to hold and fix the rotating frame 5, so that the rotating frame 5 controlled by the AC turntable can be fixed in a predetermined position, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the focused laser beam for workpiece processing.

[0033] In one or more embodiments, a first wire-passing hole 11 and a second wire-passing hole 12 are provided through the machine tool base 1.

[0034] See Figure 5 The first through hole 11 is used for the signal cable, and the second through hole 12 is used for the power cable. By separating the signal cable and the power cable, the problem of interference signals generated in the signal cable due to the electromagnetic field generated by the power cable can be avoided, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the signal transmission and avoiding equipment malfunctions and data errors caused by signal interference.

[0035] In one or more embodiments, both the machine tool base 1 and the gantry 9 are made of marble. It should be noted that the machine tool base 1 and the gantry 9 made of marble have good thermal stability and rigidity, ensuring the stability of the workpiece during long-term processing. At the same time, the machine tool base 1 can withstand a large processing load and is not easily affected by external environmental interference.

[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
