Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting tool inspection technology, and in particular to a vertical cutting tool profile detector. Background Technology
[0002] A milling cutter is a rotating cutting tool with one or more cutting teeth used for milling operations. During operation, each cutting tooth sequentially and intermittently removes the excess material from the workpiece. It is mainly used on milling machines to machine planes, steps, grooves, shaped surfaces, and cut off workpieces. During production, milling cutters need to be measured to check whether milling cutters of different specifications meet the corresponding parameters, so as to ensure that the milling cutter can play a corresponding cutting role in the subsequent production chain.
[0003] In existing technologies, when inspecting milling cutters, the cutter is usually placed horizontally and rotated by a drive roller. However, during the rotation of the cutter, the roller often directly contacts the cutter, which can easily lead to roller or cutter jumping. This results in uneven rotation speed or rotational vibration of the cutter during inspection, leading to large errors in the inspection results and affecting product inspection. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0027] like Figs. 1 to 7As shown, a vertical tool 50 contour detector includes a frame 10, on which a material transfer device 20 and a detection device are mounted. The material transfer device 20 includes a material transfer spindle 21 with a discharge port. A vacuum chamber 24 is provided inside the material transfer spindle 21, and the discharge port is located at the upper end of the vacuum chamber 24 and is connected to the vacuum chamber 24. The tool 50 to be tested can be placed vertically on the material transfer spindle 21 through the discharge port. The detection device is located on one side of the material transfer device 20 and is used to detect the tool 50 to be tested located on the material transfer spindle 21. When inspecting the cutting tool 50, the cutting tool 50 is first placed vertically on the feeding port. Then, a vacuum operation is performed on the vacuum chamber 24 to create a negative pressure inside the vacuum chamber 24, which facilitates the negative pressure adsorption of the cutting tool 50, so that the cutting tool 50 is stably set on the rotating spindle 21. The rotating spindle 21 drives the cutting tool 50 to be tested to rotate, and the inspection device inspects the cutting tool 50 at the same time, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection device in detecting the contour of the cutting tool 50, and improving the inspection precision and efficiency.
[0028] The detection device includes a moving module 30 and a detection module 40. The detection module 40 is connected to the moving module 30 by a transmission to move closer to or further away from the transfer device 20.

[0029] The detection module 40 includes a detection support frame 41. A supplementary lighting element 42 and a first detection element 43 are respectively disposed at both ends of the detection support frame 41, with the supplementary lighting element 42 and the first detection element 43 arranged opposite to each other.

[0030] The detection support frame 41 is U-shaped, with a detection space 44 formed in the middle. An auxiliary support 45 is provided on one side of the detection support frame 41, located within the detection space 44. A second detection element 47 is provided on the auxiliary support 45, with its detection end pointing vertically downwards. In this embodiment, the detection support frame is U-shaped, forming a detection space 44 in the middle. The detection space 44 facilitates the containment and detection of the tool 50 to be tested. Simultaneously, by providing the auxiliary support 45 and the second detection element 47, the second detection element 47 is used to perform auxiliary contour detection of the tool 50, further improving the detection accuracy of the tool 50.
[0031] The auxiliary support 45 is rotatably connected to the detection support. The auxiliary support 45 can rotate 90° towards the inside and / or outside of the detection space 44.

In this embodiment, the auxiliary support 45 can only rotate 90° towards the inside of the detection space 44. After rotation, the height of the second detection element 47 from the ground is the same as the height of the first detection element 43 from the ground. This facilitates multi-faceted detection of the tool 50 under test by cooperating with the second detection element 47 and the first detection element 43, thereby improving the detection accuracy. At the same time, the rotation direction and rotation angle of the auxiliary support 45 can be set according to requirements to meet the detection needs of different tools 50.

The transfer spindle 21 is connected to the rotating base 22, and a rotary drive component 23 is provided on the rotating base 22.

In this embodiment, a rotating base 22 is provided at the lower end of the transfer spindle 21, and a rotary drive motor is set as the rotary drive component 23. The output end of the rotary drive motor is connected to the rotating base 22, which facilitates the rotation of the rotating base 22 by starting the rotary drive motor, thereby driving the transfer spindle 21 to rotate, so as to ultimately realize the rotation detection of the tool 50.
[0034] A plug 25 is provided inside the vacuum channel, and a vent hole is provided on the plug 25. In this embodiment, the plug 25 is provided inside the vacuum channel to increase the negative pressure inside the vacuum chamber 24. At the same time, the vent hole on the plug 25 facilitates the connection between the vacuum chamber 24 and the discharge port, thereby facilitating the formation of negative pressure adsorption on the test tool 50 placed at the discharge port and improving the stability of the tool 50 after placement.
[0035] A first limiting plate is provided at the connection between the vacuum channel and the vacuum chamber 24, and the plug 25 is disposed on the first limiting plate. In this embodiment, the first limiting plate is provided at the connection between the vacuum channel and the vacuum chamber 24 to limit the plug 25 and prevent the plug 25 from entering the vacuum chamber 24.
[0036] A tool holder 26 is provided at the upper end of the shaft, and a material discharge port is provided in the middle of the tool holder 26.
