[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model is a horizontal turntable with liftable tool setting device, including a lower base plate 1. A rotary motor 2 is fixedly installed at the center of the lower surface of the lower base plate 1 by bolts. The top end of the output shaft of the rotary motor 2 passes through the lower base plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 3.
[0024] With this structural design, the rotary motor 2 can drive the rotary table 3 on it to rotate 360° through its output shaft. By rotating the rotary table 3 within its full angular range, the structural assembly on it can be driven to rotate as a whole, providing certain motor drive conditions for subsequent tool setting and turning.
[0025] An upper column 4 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the rotary table 3. A longitudinal guide groove 5 is opened on the outer wall of the upper column 4. Bearings are installed inside the upper and lower ends of the guide groove 5. A ball screw 6 is rotatably connected between the two bearings. A threaded nut 7 is sleeved on the ball screw 6. The threaded nut 7 is threadedly connected to the ball screw 6. A sliding seat 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the threaded nut 7. A mounting bracket 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the sliding seat 8. The tool setter body 10 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 9 by bolts.
[0026] Based on the above structure, when in use, the horizontal rotary table of this utility model can be installed as a whole in the tool setting area of the CNC machine tool. The tool setting body 10 can ensure normal tool setting work.
[0027] The present invention uses a ball screw 6 that can rotate. When the ball screw 6 rotates in both directions, the threaded nut 7 connected to it can move up and down along the ball screw 6. Thus, the up and down movement of the threaded nut 7 can synchronously drive the sliding seat 8 and the tool setting body 10 on it to move up and down.
[0028] In actual use, the tool setter can move freely up and down. By adjusting the up and down position of the tool setter, it can achieve a dynamic position adjustment effect. When the tool setter is in use, it can be raised and extended, and when it is not in use, it can be lowered and retracted, thus avoiding the tool and workpiece and effectively preventing tool obstruction and interference. It can be used on different CNC machine tools. By adjusting the up and down position of the tool setter, the structural applicability of this utility model can be effectively improved, which can meet the usage requirements of different machine tool models and reduce usage limitations. The lifting and lowering displacement effect of the tool setter can effectively avoid motion interference and improve the scope of application.
[0029] Furthermore, the tool setting device of this utility model can rotate as a whole under the drive of the rotary table 3 and the rotary motor 2, thus achieving a 360° turning effect. In actual use, the horizontal rotation of the rotary table 3 can effectively change and adjust the tool setting orientation of the tool setting device, thereby achieving a dynamic adjustable tool setting face direction. This can meet the needs of more machine tools, reduce usage limitations, and make the tool setting device more flexible, diverse, and practical.
[0030] To prevent the tool setter from getting tangled during rotation, the tool setter body 10 is a wireless tool setter. Wireless tool setters are a mature, existing technology product. They are devices used for tool adjustment and are mainly transmitted via radio signals. Their main features are a large signal transmission range and resistance to environmental influences. After tool setting, they can be removed from the worktable at any time without occupying machining space. No wiring is required during use, so there is no tangling or turning of the wires, making the structure more convenient to use.
[0031] In this embodiment, in order to drive the ball screw 6 to perform automated forward and reverse rotation, a servo motor 11 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the upper column 4 by bolts. The output shaft of the servo motor 11 is fixedly connected to the ball screw 6, so that the servo motor 11 can drive the ball screw 6 to perform automated forward and reverse rotation through its output shaft.
[0032] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the linearity of the vertical displacement of the sliding seat 8, linear guide rails 12 are fixedly installed on both sides of the guide groove 5 and on the outer wall of the upper column 4. The linear guide rails 12 are longitudinal guide rails, and the sliding seat 8 and the linear guide rails 12 are connected in a limited sliding connection. In this way, through the cooperation between the sliding seat 8 and the linear guide rails 12, a certain guiding effect can be provided for the vertical displacement of the sliding seat 8, so as to ensure the linearity and accuracy of the displacement.
[0033] Working principle: When in use, the horizontal rotary table of this utility model can be installed as a whole in the tool setting area of the CNC machine tool. The tool setting body 10 can ensure normal tool setting work.
[0034] This utility model can drive the ball screw 6 to perform automated forward and reverse rotation by setting a servo motor 11. When the ball screw 6 is performing forward and reverse rotation, the threaded female seat 7 connected to it can move up and down along the ball screw 6. In this way, the up and down movement of the threaded female seat 7 can synchronously drive the sliding seat 8 and the tool setting body 10 on it to perform up and down displacement.
[0035] In practical use, the tool setter can freely move up and down under the action of the aforementioned threaded drive structure. By adjusting the up and down position of the tool setter, it can achieve a dynamic position adjustment effect. When the tool setter is in use, it can rise and extend, and when it is not in use, it can fall and retract, thereby avoiding the tool and workpiece and effectively preventing tool obstruction and interference. It can be used on different CNC machine tools. By adjusting the up and down position of the tool setter, the structural applicability of this utility model can be effectively improved, meeting the usage requirements of different machine tool models and reducing usage limitations. The lifting and lowering displacement effect of the tool setter can effectively avoid motion interference and improve the scope of application.
[0036] Furthermore, the tool setting device of this utility model can rotate as a whole under the drive of the rotary table 3 and the rotary motor 2, thus achieving a 360° turning effect. In actual use, the horizontal rotation of the rotary table 3 can effectively change and adjust the tool setting orientation of the tool setting device, thereby achieving a dynamic adjustable tool setting face direction. This can meet the needs of more machine tools, reduce usage limitations, and make the tool setting device more flexible, diverse, and practical.
[0037] 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.
