Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tool setting device structure, specifically an automatic protective cover for a tool setting device. Background Technology

[0002] Tool setters are mainly used to measure the geometric parameters of tools, such as length, radius, angle, and fillet, and to determine the offset value of the tool in the machine tool coordinate system. Their core function is to significantly improve processing efficiency and accuracy by reducing the number of trial cuts and manual adjustment time.

[0003] Tool setters solve the pain points of time-consuming and low-precision tool adjustment in traditional machining through precise measurement and automated compensation. They are key equipment for improving efficiency and precision in intelligent manufacturing.

[0004] When a tool setter is in use, it is usually installed inside a CNC machine tool. During the cutting process of the CNC machine tool, the cutting chips easily mix with the cutting oil and adhere to the tool setting surface of the tool setter. When the tool is measured, the residue will affect the measurement accuracy of the tool setter, which will greatly reduce the accuracy of the machining process and affect the machining quality. To address this, this utility model proposes an automatic protective cover for the tool setter. Utility Model Content

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of an automatic protective cover for a tool setting device, comprising a lower base 1, a tool setting device body 2 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the lower base 1, and an outer protective cover 3 provided on the outer surface of the tool setting device body 2. The outer protective cover 3 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the lower base 1. This structural design, through the outer protective cover 3, can provide full-enclosure protection for the tool setting device body 2 inside, avoiding the impact of cutting debris on the tool setting device body 2 during machine tool processing, and has a good full-enclosure protection effect.

[0024] Guide grooves 4 are provided on both inner walls above the outer cover 3. A sliding sealing plate 5 is provided between the two guide grooves 4 for limiting sliding. The sliding sealing plate 5 can slide left and right in the guide groove 4, so the protective cover of this utility model can be opened and closed by sliding through the action of the sliding sealing plate 5. In actual use, it has the practical effect of sliding open and close.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to facilitate a direct observation of the knife-setting device body 2 inside the protective cover, both the outer cover 3 and the sliding sealing plate 5 are made of transparent acrylic sheets. The transparent acrylic sheets provide a certain level of protection while also offering the practical effect of all-round transparent observation, effectively avoiding obstruction of the field of vision caused by the cover and allowing for a better understanding of the actual situation of the knife-setting device body 2.

[0026] A lower base plate 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding sealing plate 5 and on the side wall of the lower base 1. An upper upright plate 7 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the tail end of the lower base plate 6. A small servo cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the upper upright plate 7 by bolts. A pneumatic rod 9 is movably connected to the output end of the small servo cylinder 8. A telescopic push block 10 is fixedly installed at the top of the pneumatic rod 9. The telescopic push block 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding sealing plate 5. An infrared sensor 11 is provided above the pneumatic rod 9.

[0027] For further details, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 2 As shown, the infrared sensor 11 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the upper plate 7.

[0028] In actual use, the infrared sensor 11 is electrically connected to the small servo cylinder 8 through the control chip;

[0029] Based on the above structure, this utility model provides a comprehensive protective enclosure for the internal tool setting device body 2 through the outer protective cover 3, effectively preventing the impact of machine tool cutting debris on the internal tool setting device. The sliding sealing plate 5 provides a sliding cover to the top of the outer protective cover 3, effectively preventing debris from entering the tool setting device from the top of the outer protective cover 3 during machine tool cutting. This top cover provides practical protection and effectively prevents external debris from entering the tool setting surface of the tool setting device, ensuring the measurement accuracy of the tool setting device and improving the actual use effect.

[0030] When tool setting is required, the tool is driven to the top of this utility model by the machine tool drive structure. At this time, the infrared sensor 11 can detect the presence of the tool and transmit the sensing signal to the control chip of the CNC system. The control chip controls the small servo cylinder 8 to work. When the small servo cylinder 8 works, it drives the pneumatic rod 9 to retract. When the pneumatic rod 9 retracts, the telescopic push block 10 at its top can drive the sliding sealing plate 5 to move from left to right, thereby making the sliding sealing plate 5 slide open. At this time, the tool setting device inside the outer cover 3 is exposed. Then the tool descends and contacts the tool setting device to perform tool setting.

[0031] After the tool setting is completed and the tool is removed, the infrared sensor 11 can no longer detect the presence of the tool. It then transmits the signal that the tool is not present to the control chip of the CNC system. At this time, the control chip controls the small servo cylinder 8 to work. In this case, the small servo cylinder 8 can drive the pneumatic rod 9 to extend. The extension of the pneumatic rod 9 can drive the sliding sealing plate 5 to move from right to left. At this time, the sliding sealing plate 5 covers the upper port of the outer cover 3, which can effectively cover and protect the internal tool setting device and prevent debris from entering.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lower base plate 6 and the upper upright plate 7 are integrally molded and are perpendicular to each other. Thus, the lower base plate 6 and the upper upright plate 7 can form a side support structure of this utility model, providing support conditions for the installation of the cylinder.

[0033] In this embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification for details. Figure 2 As shown, a wiring port is provided on one side of the tool setting device body 2. In order to ensure the normal wiring operation of the tool setting device body 2, the outer protective cover 3 has a side slot 12 on the side plate of the wiring port for wiring the tool setting device body 2, which can effectively avoid structural obstruction.

[0034] Working principle: When in use, this utility model can be installed as a whole in the tool setting device installation area of ​​a CNC machine tool or machining center via the lower base 1, thereby ensuring normal use effect;

[0035] This utility model provides a fully enclosed partition protection for the internal tool setting device body 2 through the outer protective cover 3, which effectively prevents the impact of machine tool cutting debris on the internal tool setting device. The sliding sealing plate 5 can slide to seal the top of the outer protective cover 3, which effectively prevents debris from entering the tool setting device from the top of the outer protective cover 3 during machine tool cutting. It has the actual protective effect of the top cover, which can effectively prevent external debris from entering the tool setting surface of the tool setting device, ensuring the measurement accuracy of the tool setting device and improving the actual use effect.

[0036] When tool setting is required, the tool is driven to the top of this invention by the machine tool drive structure. At this time, the infrared sensor 11 can detect the presence of the tool and transmit the detection signal to the control chip of the CNC system. The control chip then controls the small servo cylinder 8 to work. When the small servo cylinder 8 works, it drives the pneumatic rod 9 to retract. When the pneumatic rod 9 retracts, the telescopic push block 10 at its top can drive the sliding sealing plate 5 to move from left to right. (See attached instruction manual) Figure 1 As shown, this allows the sliding cover 5 to slide open, at which point the tool setter inside the outer cover 3 is exposed, and then the tool descends and contacts the tool setter for tool setting.

[0037] After the tool setting is completed and the tool is removed, the infrared sensor 11 can no longer detect the presence of the tool. The signal that the tool is not present is then transmitted to the control chip of the CNC system. At this time, the control chip controls the small servo cylinder 8 to work. In this case, the small servo cylinder 8 can drive the pneumatic rod 9 to extend. The extension of the pneumatic rod 9 can drive the sliding sealing plate 5 to move from right to left. At this time, the sliding sealing plate 5 covers the upper port of the outer cover 3, which can effectively cover and protect the internal tool setting device and prevent debris from entering.

[0038] In practical use, this utility model can provide a protective enclosure for the internal tool setter through an automatic protective cover, which can effectively prevent the debris generated during machine tool processing from entering the tool setter and affecting the tool setting accuracy. This can effectively ensure the machining accuracy of the machine tool and has a good practical effect.

[0039] Based on the above structure, the automatic protective cover for the tool setter of this utility model can provide full-around protection for the tool setter body 2 inside through the outer protective cover 3, preventing the cutting debris from affecting the tool setter body 2 during machine tool processing. It has a good full-around protection effect. The sliding sealing plate 5 can cover the upper port of the outer protective cover 3, which can effectively cover and protect the tool setter inside, preventing debris from entering from the top of the outer protective cover 3. This can effectively prevent the cutting debris from affecting the tool setter, ensure the tool setting accuracy of the tool setter, and improve the CNC machining quality.

[0040] Meanwhile, the sliding cover 5 of this utility model can automatically open and close under the action of a servo cylinder and an infrared sensor 11. When the infrared sensor 11 detects that a tool needs to be set, the port can be automatically opened by the small servo cylinder 8 to ensure that the tool setting process is carried out normally. After the tool setting is completed and the tool is removed, the sliding cover can be automatically reset under the drive of the small servo cylinder 8, so that the upper port of the outer cover 3 is in the sealed state again to prevent debris from entering from the upper port. This achieves the effect of automatic opening and closing of the cover without manual operation, greatly improving the overall use effect, ensuring automated use performance, making the structure more convenient to use, more practical, and more automated.

[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
