Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool setting devices, and more specifically, to a tool setting device that is easy to adjust. Background Technology

[0002] In precision machining equipment such as CNC machine tools and machining centers, the tool setter is a core device to ensure the accuracy of tool positioning, and its performance directly affects machining accuracy and efficiency. Traditional tool setters mostly use mechanical manual adjustment methods, requiring multiple steps of mechanical locking, angle adjustment, and translation positioning, which is cumbersome and inefficient, especially in situations involving frequent tool changes or complex machining. Furthermore, the transmission components are often integrated structures, requiring replacement of the entire unit when some parts wear out, resulting in high maintenance costs and long downtime. Fixed structures also struggle to adapt to different sizes or types of tools, offering poor expandability and failing to meet diverse machining needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an easily adjustable tool setting device, including a base, a rotatable movable end provided on the top of the base, a detection end installed on the top of the movable end, a gap between the movable end and the base, a driving component that drives the movable end to rotate is installed inside the gap, a rotating shaft moving component that drives the base to move back and forth is provided at the bottom of the base, and limiting components that limit the movement of the base are provided on both sides of the rotating shaft moving component.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating shaft moving component includes a drive block fixed to the bottom of the base, a threaded tube inserted into the drive block, and a screw passing through the threaded tube.

[0009] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] 1. This utility model adopts a servo motor to drive the gear-ring and screw-thread tube transmission, combined with real-time feedback from the distance sensor, to ensure precise control of the rotation angle and translation distance with small error, and is suitable for high-precision tool inspection scenarios;

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0017] like Figure 1-3The tool setting device shown includes a base 1, a rotatable movable end 2 on the top of the base 1, a detection end 3 on the top of the movable end 2, a gap between the movable end 2 and the base 1, a driving component that drives the movable end 2 to rotate is installed inside the gap, a rotating shaft moving component that drives the base 1 to move back and forth is provided at the bottom of the base 1, and limiting components that limit the movement of the base 1 are provided on both sides of the rotating shaft moving component.

[0018] Based on the above, the movable end 2 achieves rotational adjustment via a drive component, while the base 1 achieves horizontal movement via a rotating shaft. The two work together to allow the detection end 3 to be adjusted with multiple degrees of freedom, adapting to the detection requirements of different tools. Limiting components ensure safety and accuracy during the movement process through mechanical constraints and sensor feedback.

[0019] The driving component includes a bearing ring 4 fixed at the bottom of the movable end 2 and a connecting post 5 fixed at the top of the base 1. The connecting post 5 is inserted into the inside of the bearing ring 4. A toothed ring 6 is installed on the surface of the movable end 2 outside the bearing ring 4. A first servo motor 7 is installed at the bottom edge of the base 1. The output shaft of the first servo motor 7 extends upward through the base 1 to below the toothed ring 6. A gear 8 that meshes with the toothed ring 6 is installed at the top of the output shaft of the first servo motor 7.

[0020] Based on the above, the connection column 5 and the bearing ring 4 form a rotation fulcrum, ensuring the stable rotation of the movable end 2. The gear ring 6 provides the meshing basis for the subsequent gear 8 transmission. The gear 8 is driven by the first servo motor 7 to rotate the gear ring 6, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the movable end 2.

[0021] The first servo motor 7 drives the gear 8 to rotate via its output shaft. The gear 8 meshes with the gear ring 6, causing the movable end 2 to rotate around the connecting column 5. The closed-loop control characteristics of the servo motor ensure the accuracy of the rotation angle (error less than ±0.01°), meeting the calibration requirements of high-precision tools.

[0022] The rotating shaft moving component includes a drive block 9 fixed to the bottom of the base 1, a threaded tube 10 inserted into the drive block 9, and a screw 11 passing through the threaded tube 10.

[0023] The limiting component includes at least two sets of limiting strips 12 parallel to the screw 11, with two limiting strips 12 in each set. The bottom of the base 1 is fixed with a limiting block 13 that is locked between the limiting strips 12. A first support frame 14 and a second support frame 15 are respectively installed at both ends of the limiting strips 12. The top of the first support frame 14 is flush with the bottom of the base 1.

[0024] A second servo motor 16 is mounted on the second support frame 15. The output shaft of the second servo motor 16 is connected to the screw 11 for transmission. A distance sensor 17 facing the second support frame 15 is mounted on the bottom of the base 1.

[0025] Based on the above, the second servo motor 16 drives the screw 11 to rotate. Through the threaded engagement between the threaded tube 10 and the screw 11, the rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the drive block 9, thereby driving the base 1 to move horizontally as a whole. This structure enables precise adjustment of the position of the base 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the limiting strip 12 and the limiting block 13 form a mechanical limiting structure, constraining the movement range of the base 1 and preventing mechanical damage caused by overtravel. The first support frame 14 and the second support frame 15 provide fixed support for the limiting strip 12, ensuring the stability of the limiting system;

[0027] Furthermore, the second servo motor 16 drives the screw 11 to rotate, controlling the translational movement of the base 1. The distance sensor 17 monitors the distance between the base 1 and the second support frame 15 in real time, feeding the position data back to the control system to form a closed-loop adjustment, ensuring the movement accuracy (error less than ±0.01mm).

[0028] Based on the above, the data feedback adopts the star-flash communication method to achieve cableless signal transmission, eliminate the wiring limitations of traditional wired tool setters, improve equipment mobility and installation convenience, and is especially suitable for complex industrial environments.

[0029] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
