Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring instrument technology, and in particular to a coordinate measuring device with automatic measurement function. Background Technology
[0002] A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a precision measuring instrument used in basic engineering and technological sciences. It obtains the spatial coordinate values of the workpiece surface by moving along three mutually perpendicular guide rails and using a probe to contact the workpiece. After these coordinate values are processed by a computer, geometric information such as the size, shape, and position of the workpiece can be obtained.
[0003] Existing coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) include a worktable and a CMM mechanism. The CMM mechanism includes a mounting frame, a guide rod, a slider, and a measuring end. The mounting frame is mounted on the worktable and can move along the length of the worktable. The guide rod is mounted on the mounting frame and can move relative to the mounting frame along the width of the worktable. The slider is mounted on the guide rod and can move up and down relative to the guide rod in the height direction. The measuring end is mounted on the slider and is used to measure the workpiece on the worktable. The drawback is that, in use, the workpiece is usually placed directly on the measuring table, and the workpiece is prone to displacement during measurement, leading to result deviation. In addition, the measuring head has a single structure and cannot be switched to adapt to the measurement needs of workpieces of different materials. Therefore, a CMM with automatic measurement function is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a coordinate measuring device with automatic measurement function. This device can solve the problems that existing coordinate measuring devices usually place the workpiece directly on the measuring table, which can easily cause the workpiece to shift during measurement, resulting in deviations in the results. In addition, the measuring head has a single structure and cannot be switched to adapt to the measurement needs of workpieces of different materials.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a coordinate measuring device with automatic measurement function, comprising a device base plate and a workpiece positioning device. The workpiece positioning device includes a first motor, a first threaded rod, a workpiece positioning plate, a limiting plate, a mounting plate, an electric push rod, and a clamping plate.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a coordinate measuring device with automatic measurement function, including a device base plate 1 and a workpiece positioning device. The workpiece positioning device includes a first motor 2, a first threaded rod 3, a workpiece positioning plate 4, a limiting plate 5, a mounting plate 18, an electric push rod 19, and a clamping plate 20. The first motor 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the device base plate 1, the first threaded rod 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 2, and the first threaded rod 3 is rotatably connected to the inside of the device base plate 1. The workpiece positioning plate 4 is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the first threaded rod 3. Positioning plate 4 is slidably connected to the top of device base plate 1. There are two limiting plates 5, both of which are fixedly connected to the surface of device base plate 1. The limiting plates 5 are located on both sides of device base plate 1. Workpiece positioning plate 4 is slidably connected to limiting plate 5. There are two mounting plates 18, both of which are fixedly connected to the top of workpiece positioning plate 4. There are multiple electric push rods 19, all of which are fixedly connected to the surface of the corresponding mounting plate 18. The number of clamping plates 20 is the same as that of mounting plates 18, and they are all slidably connected to the top of workpiece positioning plate 4. The clamping plates 20 are fixedly connected to the output end of electric push rods 19.
[0026] Furthermore, a movable bracket 6 is slidably connected to the surface of the device base plate 1, a second motor 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable bracket 6, a second threaded rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 7, the second threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to the top of the movable bracket 6, a movable block 9 is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the second threaded rod 8, the movable block 9 is slidably connected to the movable bracket 6, a hydraulic cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable block 9, a lifting block 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 10, a measuring head 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting block 11, a third motor 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable bracket 6, a gear 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 13, a toothed plate 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the device base plate 1, a limit groove 17 is opened on the surface of the device base plate 1, the movable bracket 6 is slidably connected to the limit groove 17, the toothed plate 15 is meshed with the gear 14, and a toothed groove 16 adapted to the gear 14 is opened on the surface of the toothed plate 15. There are two movable brackets 6, both of which are slidably connected to the surface of the device base plate 1, and the structures on the two movable brackets 6 are exactly the same.
[0027] Further, the workpiece is placed on top of the workpiece positioning plate 4, and the electric push rod 19 is activated to move the clamping plate 20. The two clamping plates 20 clamp the workpiece to fix it. Then, according to the workpiece material, different measuring heads 12 are used to perform coordinate measuring on the workpiece. Specifically, the third motor 13 is activated to drive the gear 14 to rotate. Since the gear 14 is meshed with the tooth groove 16 on the gear plate 15, the rotation of the gear 14 will cause the moving bracket 6 to slide on the surface of the device base plate 1. The X-axis direction of the measuring head 12 is adjusted, and the second motor 7 is activated to drive the second thread. Rotating rod 8 causes the moving block 9 to slide on top of the moving bracket 6, adjusting the Z-axis direction of the measuring head 12. The lifting block 11 is lowered by hydraulic cylinder 10 to adjust the Y-axis direction of the measuring head 12, thereby performing coordinate measuring on the workpiece. The moving bracket 6 is located on both sides of the device base plate 1. The two moving brackets 6 have the same structure. The two measuring heads 12 are contact and non-contact measuring heads (such as laser scanning and optical measuring heads). Different measuring heads 12 are selected according to the usage to adapt to the measurement needs of different materials (metal, plastic, rubber, etc.).
[0028] Furthermore, by synchronously clamping the two clamping plates 20, uniform force on the workpiece and clamping stability are achieved, avoiding workpiece displacement or deformation caused by traditional unilateral force application, and improving the consistency of measurement reference. The use of switchable contact and non-contact measuring heads 12, combined with a material adaptation strategy (such as contact measuring heads for metals and non-contact laser scanning for rubber), reduces the deformation of soft materials caused by improper force application by the measuring heads, ensuring the authenticity of measurement data. The contact and non-contact measuring heads 12 symmetrically arranged on the two moving supports 6 do not require manual replacement of the measuring head modules, reducing equipment downtime. It is suitable for batch inspection scenarios of workpieces with mixed materials, solving the problem that existing coordinate measuring devices usually place the workpiece directly on the measuring table, which easily leads to workpiece displacement and result deviation during measurement, and the measuring head structure is simple and cannot be switched to adapt to the measurement needs of workpieces with different materials.
