Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool setting equipment technology, specifically a contact-type tool setting equipment structure. Background Technology
[0002] Tool setter is a device used for tool setting on CNC machine tools. Compared with manual tool setting, tool setter has higher tool setting accuracy and speed, and does not require trial cutting of the workpiece during tool setting.
[0003] In the existing technology, contact tool setters require the tool to touch the tool setter to complete the accurate measurement of the tool position. After the tool setter completes the tool setting in a certain direction, the tool spindle receives the signal to stop moving in that direction and there is a time required for the actual stop of movement. Therefore, the tool setter has a certain design (safety) distance.
[0004] Existing contact tool setters are installed inside machining centers. Because they are in the machining environment for a long time, cutting chips will adhere to the outside of the tool face. These chips and impurities will affect the product's accuracy and service life. Traditional contact tool setters do not have a chip cleaning structure, so they cannot automatically remove the chips and require manual cleaning, which has certain limitations and affects the overall performance. Therefore, this utility model proposes a contact tool setter structure that can automatically remove cutting chips. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This utility model's contact-type tool setting device structure features an air nozzle on its base. High-pressure gas from the nozzle blows out debris from the tool setting surface, effectively cleaning the upper surface of the tool head. This prevents debris from lingering on the tool setting surface, ensuring a clean finish and preventing it from affecting the tool's precision or lifespan. The device offers automated air cleaning, eliminating the need for manual cleaning, thus improving overall structural performance, reducing limitations, and enhancing usability.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides one embodiment: a contact-type tool setting device structure, including a fixed base 1, an upper seat 2 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the fixed base 1, and an annular track 3 formed inside the upper seat 2. For details, please refer to the appendix of the specification. Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, the circular track 3 adopts a T-shaped structure design. The circular track 3 is connected to a limiting slider 4. The upper slide block 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the limiting slider 4. With this structure design, the limiting slider 4 can perform a circular motion in the circular track 3. The movement of the limiting slider 4 can drive the upper slide block 5 and the structural assembly on it to perform overall displacement work.
[0025] The T-shaped structure of the limiting slider 4 and the annular track 3 can have a certain limiting effect, which can effectively prevent the limiting slider 4 from coming out of the annular track 3, improve the stability of the limiting slider 4, and lock the limiting slider 4 in the annular track 3, thus having good limiting characteristics.
[0026] For further details, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 5 As shown, a support rod 6 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the upper slide block 5. The support rod 6 has a hollow structure design inside. A telescopic rod 8 is slidably connected inside the support rod 6. A rotating seat 10 is fixedly installed at the top of the telescopic rod 8. A rotating block 11 is rotatably installed inside the rotating seat 10 through a damping shaft. An air nozzle 12 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the rotating block 11 through a bracket.
[0027] In order to facilitate the connection of the air nozzle 12 to the external high-pressure air pipe and air pump, the tail end of the air nozzle 12 is provided with a threaded air pipe connector. In this way, the air nozzle 12 of this utility model can be connected to the external air pump through the air pipe structure, so that the gas can be blown out at high pressure.
[0028] Furthermore, a tool setting device body 14 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the upper body 2, and a tool setting head 15 is telescopically connected to the upper part of the tool setting device body 14.
[0029] The tool setting device body 14 of this utility model is a commonly used contact tool setting instrument on the market. It can be obtained directly by purchase without any creative effort. It is a mature existing technology product. Therefore, this specification will not elaborate on its detailed structure and working principle.
[0030] This structural design, through the air nozzle 12, connects to an external air supply pipe and air pump during actual use. High-pressure gas is then blown out through the air nozzle 12, which in turn blows away debris from the tool face of the tool setter body 14. This high-pressure blowing cleans the upper surface of the tool head 15, preventing debris from remaining on the tool face for extended periods and ensuring a clean surface. This effectively prevents debris from affecting the precision or lifespan of the tool, providing automated air cleaning without the need for manual cleaning. This significantly improves the overall structural performance, reduces usage limitations, and enhances the overall effectiveness.
[0031] The air nozzle 12 of this utility model can be damped and rotated through the cooperation of the rotating seat 10 and the rotating block 11. In actual use, the blowing angle of the air nozzle 12 can be dynamically adjusted, which has the practical effect of dynamically adjustable blowing angle, improves the adjustment flexibility of blowing angle, and has better structural performance.
[0032] Meanwhile, the air nozzle 12 of this utility model can dynamically adjust the air blowing height under the sliding extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 8. In this way, the air blowing height adjustment can effectively meet the usage needs of tool setters of different heights, so that the height of the air nozzle 12 can always be kept on the tool setting surface of the tool setter, ensuring the overall applicability of the air blowing height. It can be adapted to tool setters of different heights for structural use, effectively improving the structural adaptability, reducing usage limitations, and making it more applicable.
[0033] Furthermore, the air nozzle 12 of this utility model can be rotated and adjusted around the ring under the action of the limiting slider 4 and the annular track 3. The limiting slider 4 can drive the air nozzle 12 to perform 360° circumferential adjustment, thereby dynamically adjusting the air blowing direction of the air nozzle 12. This allows the air nozzle 12 to be dynamically adjusted according to different chip discharge directions, thereby improving the structural adaptability with the machining center and meeting the actual use effect of chip air discharge in different directions.
[0034] In summary, the air nozzle 12 of this utility model, through its bracket structure and surrounding track structure, allows for multiple adjustments to the blowing angle, blowing height, and blowing direction during actual use. This provides a dynamic adjustment effect for air cleaning, effectively reducing the limitations of the structure and improving the cleaning flexibility of the air nozzle 12. It is more practical and easier to use.
[0035] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the limiting slider 4, protruding rods 13 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the limiting slider 4 and on both sides of the upper slide block 5. The limiting slider 4 can be manually moved by the protruding rods 13, so that the limiting slider 4 can be moved by manual drive, thereby allowing manual adjustment of the blowing direction.
[0036] In this embodiment, in order to perform telescopic positioning work on the telescopic rod 8, a plurality of positioning holes 7 are provided on the outer side wall of the support rod 6, and the plurality of positioning holes 7 are distributed longitudinally at equal intervals.
[0037] Furthermore, a spring-loaded button 9 that matches the positioning hole 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod 8. The spring-loaded button 9 is composed of a spring and a button, that is, the tail end of the button is connected to the spring, and the tail end of the spring is fixedly installed inside the telescopic rod 8. This is a simple telescopic positioning structure, which is widely used in multi-section telescopic rods and is a mature existing technology product structure.
[0038] The combination of the spring-loaded button 9 and several positioning holes 7 allows for positioning of the telescopic rod 8 during its extension and retraction, thus achieving a certain positioning effect.
[0039] Working principle: This utility model uses an air nozzle 12 connected to an external air supply pipe and air pump during actual use. High-pressure gas is then blown out through the nozzle 12, which removes debris from the tool face of the tool setter body 14. This high-pressure blowing cleans the upper surface of the tool head 15, preventing debris from remaining on the tool face for extended periods and ensuring a clean surface. This effectively prevents debris from affecting the precision or lifespan of the tool, providing automated air cleaning without the need for manual cleaning. This improves the overall structural performance, reduces limitations, and enhances the overall usability.
[0040] Meanwhile, the air nozzle 12 of this utility model can perform damped rotation through the cooperation of the rotating seat 10 and the rotating block 11. In actual use, the blowing angle of the air nozzle 12 can be dynamically adjusted, which has the practical effect of dynamically adjustable blowing angle, improves the adjustment flexibility of blowing angle, and has better structural performance.
[0041] Meanwhile, the air nozzle 12 of this utility model can dynamically adjust the air blowing height under the sliding extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 8. In this way, the air blowing height adjustment can effectively meet the usage needs of tool setters of different heights, so that the height of the air nozzle 12 can always be kept on the tool setting surface of the tool setter, ensuring the overall applicability of the air blowing height. It can be adapted to tool setters of different heights for structural use, effectively improving the structural adaptability, reducing usage limitations, and making it more applicable.
[0042] Furthermore, the air nozzle 12 of this utility model can be rotated and adjusted around the ring under the action of the limiting slider 4 and the annular track 3. The limiting slider 4 can drive the air nozzle 12 to perform 360° circumferential adjustment, thereby dynamically adjusting the air blowing direction of the air nozzle 12. This allows the air nozzle 12 to be dynamically adjusted according to different chip discharge directions, thereby improving the structural adaptability with the machining center and meeting the actual use effect of chip air discharge in different directions.
[0043] In summary, the air nozzle 12 of this utility model, through its bracket structure and surrounding track structure, allows for multiple adjustments to the blowing angle, blowing height, and blowing direction during actual use. This provides a dynamic adjustment effect for air cleaning, effectively reducing the limitations of the structure and improving the cleaning flexibility of the air nozzle 12. It is more practical and easier to use.
