Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-head split translation detection mechanism for X-axis. Background Technology
[0002] The X-axis machining head is a key component in a five-axis machining center, primarily responsible for the forward and backward movement of the machining head. Specifically, the X-axis machining head is the axis of horizontal movement of the machining head, typically used to move the workpiece or tool along the length of the machine tool. Position control: The X-axis machining head controls the horizontal movement of the workpiece or tool, determining the workpiece length the machine tool can handle. Through X-axis movement, machining of the workpiece can be performed at different positions, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the machining process. Machining range: The X-axis's range of motion determines the workpiece length the machine tool can handle. A larger X-axis range of motion allows for the handling of longer workpieces, improving the machine tool's applicability and flexibility. Coordination with other axes: The X-axis works in conjunction with other axes (such as the Y-axis and Z-axis) to complete the machining of complex parts. For example, in five-axis machining, the X and Y axes can perform side machining of the workpiece, while the Z-axis is responsible for adjusting the workpiece's height.
[0003] In machining processes, the lateral movement accuracy of multiple machining heads directly affects the machining quality. Existing inspection mechanisms typically use a single linear encoder for position detection, which is insufficient to meet the requirements of simultaneous movement of multiple machining heads and the need for individual inspection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an inspection mechanism capable of simultaneously detecting the lateral movement distance of multiple machining heads to improve machining accuracy and efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a multi-head X-axis translational detection mechanism to more accurately solve the problem that existing detection mechanisms typically use a single grating ruler for position detection, which is insufficient to meet the requirement of simultaneous movement of multiple heads and separate detection.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model proposes a multi-head split translation detection mechanism for an X-axis, including a grating ruler. A grating strip is adhered to the bottom outer wall of the grating ruler, and a grating ruler detection module is provided on one side of the grating strip. A mounting bracket is installed on the bottom outer wall of the grating ruler detection module, and a limit mechanism is provided at both ends of the grating strip on one side of the grating ruler. A processing head is provided on one side outer wall of the mounting bracket, and the processing head is fixedly connected to the one side outer wall of the mounting bracket by screws. The processing head array is distributed on one side of the grating ruler. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the side of the grating ruler away from the processing head by screws, and a frame is fixedly connected to the one side outer wall of the fixing frame by screws.
[0007] With the above solution, the grating ruler detection module corresponds one-to-one with each machining head. There are as many grating ruler detection modules as there are machining heads. When the machining head moves laterally, it causes the grating ruler detection module to slide relative to the grating strip. The grating strip can detect the position of the grating ruler detection module and then send the information back to the machine tool controller. This allows for the simultaneous detection of the lateral movement distance of multiple machining heads, ensuring the movement accuracy of each machining head, improving processing quality and efficiency, and meeting the needs of multiple machining heads moving simultaneously and requiring separate detection.
[0008] Furthermore, the grating ruler detection module includes a grating detection head, a photoelectric sensor, mounting holes, and a signal line. The grating detection head is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the mounting bracket by screws. The photoelectric sensor is located on the top outer wall of the grating detection head, directly below the grating strip. Symmetrically distributed mounting holes are all opened on one side of the outer wall of the grating detection head, and symmetrically distributed fastening screws are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting holes. The signal line is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the grating detection head, and a controller is installed on the outer wall of one end of the signal line.
[0009] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a magnetic exciter and a limit switch, wherein the magnetic exciter and the limit switch are both bonded to the bottom outer wall of the grating ruler, and the magnetic exciter and the limit switch are respectively disposed on both sides of the grating ruler.
[0010] Furthermore, anti-detachment patches are adhered to the outer walls of both ends of the grating strip, and the anti-detachment patches are adhered to the bottom outer wall of the grating ruler.
[0011] Furthermore, the grating ruler detection module corresponds one-to-one with each processing head. The grating ruler detection module can simultaneously detect the lateral movement distance of multiple processing heads.
[0012] Furthermore, one side of the outer wall of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the processing head by screws, and the top inner wall of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the grating ruler detection module by screws.
[0013] Furthermore, the grating ruler detection module is attached tightly to the outer wall of the grating ruler.
[0014] Furthermore, the controller receives position information from the grating ruler detection module and controls the movement of the machining head. The grating ruler detection module is used in machining equipment to ensure the movement accuracy of each machining head.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention proposes a multi-head X-axis translation detection mechanism. Each machining head has a corresponding grating ruler detection module. There are multiple grating ruler detection modules for each machining head. When a machining head moves laterally, the grating ruler detection module slides relative to a grating strip. The grating strip detects the position of the grating ruler detection module and transmits the information back to the machine tool controller. This mechanism can simultaneously detect the lateral movement distance of multiple machining heads, ensuring the movement accuracy of each head, improving processing quality and efficiency, and meeting the requirement of simultaneous movement and separate detection of multiple machining heads.

[0023] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further explain this utility model.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4This utility model proposes a multi-head split translation detection mechanism for an X-axis, including a grating ruler 1. A grating strip 2 is adhered to the bottom outer wall of the grating ruler 1, and a grating ruler detection module 3 is provided on one side of the grating strip 2. A mounting bracket 4 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the grating ruler detection module 3, and a limit mechanism is provided at both ends of the grating strip 2 on one side of the grating ruler 1. A processing head 5 is provided on one side outer wall of the mounting bracket 4, and the processing head 5 is fixedly connected to the one side outer wall of the mounting bracket 4 by screws. The processing heads 5 are arrayed on one side of the grating ruler 1. A fixing frame 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the grating ruler 1 away from the processing head 5 by screws, and a frame 7 is fixedly connected to the one side outer wall of the fixing frame 6 by screws.
[0025] In this embodiment, the grating ruler detection module 3 corresponds one-to-one with each processing head 5. There are several processing heads 5, and several grating ruler detection modules 3. When the processing head 5 moves laterally, it will cause the grating ruler detection module 3 to slide relative to the grating strip 2. The grating strip 2 can detect the position of the grating ruler detection module 3 and then send the information back to the machine tool controller. It can detect the lateral movement distance of multiple processing heads 5 at the same time, ensuring the movement accuracy of each processing head 5, improving processing quality and efficiency, and meeting the needs of multiple processing heads 5 moving at the same time and needing to be detected separately.
[0026] The grating ruler detection module 3 includes a grating detection head 31, a photoelectric sensor 32, mounting holes 33, and a signal line 34. The grating detection head 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the mounting bracket 4 by screws. The photoelectric sensor 32 is set on the top outer wall of the grating detection head 31, and the photoelectric sensor 32 is directly below the grating strip 2. The symmetrically distributed mounting holes 33 are all opened on one side of the outer wall of the grating detection head 31, and symmetrically distributed fastening screws are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting holes 33. The signal line 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the grating detection head 31, and a controller is installed on the outer wall of one end of the signal line 34.
[0027] The limiting mechanism includes a magnetic exciter and a limit switch, wherein the magnetic exciter and the limit switch are both bonded to the bottom outer wall of the grating ruler 1, and the magnetic exciter and the limit switch are respectively disposed on both sides of the grating ruler 1.
[0028] The outer walls of both ends of the grating strip 2 are adhered with anti-detachment patches, which are also adhered to the bottom outer wall of the grating ruler 1. The grating ruler detection module 3 corresponds one-to-one with each processing head 5. The grating ruler detection module 3 can simultaneously detect the lateral movement distance of multiple processing heads 5. One side of the mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the processing head 5 with screws, and the top inner wall of the mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the grating ruler detection module 3 with screws. The grating ruler detection module 3 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the grating ruler 1. The controller receives the position information of the grating ruler detection module 3 and controls the movement of the processing head 5. The grating ruler detection module 3 is used in machining equipment to ensure the movement accuracy of each processing head 5.
[0029] When using the X-axis multi-head split translation detection mechanism, the grating ruler 1 is fixed on the fixing frame 6, which is located on the machine tool frame 7. Then, the grating strip 2 is attached to the bottom of the grating ruler 1, and two anti-detachment patches are attached to both ends of the grating ruler 1 to prevent the ends of the grating strip 2 from falling off. On this basis, magnetic exciters and limit switches are installed at both ends of the grating ruler 1 to limit the maximum movement distance of the machining head 5. Then, the grating ruler detection module 3 is attached to the grating strip 2, and one end of the mounting bracket 4 is fixed to the grating ruler detection module 3, and the other end is connected to the machining head 5. When the machining head 5 moves laterally, it will drive the mounting bracket 4 to move, and then the mounting bracket 4 will drive the grating ruler detection module 3 to slide relative to the grating strip 2. The grating ruler detection module 3 detects the position change and then transmits the information back to the controller through the signal line 34. The controller adjusts the movement position of the machining head 5 according to the received information to ensure the movement accuracy of each machining head 5.
[0030] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
