Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC grinding machine technology, and specifically discloses a CNC grinding machine with an automatic measuring mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] CNC grinding machines, as high-precision machining equipment, are widely used in the field of machinery manufacturing for precision grinding of workpiece surfaces.
[0003] A CNC grinding machine, patent number CN220178978U, includes an adjustment component. A lifting component is movably connected to the upper end of the adjustment component. A grinding component is movably connected inside the lifting component. The adjustment component includes a base plate, a receiving plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate, and a guide plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the receiving plate. This invention, through the combination of the adjustment component, the lifting component, and the grinding component, allows for the adjustment of the height and distance of the grinding disc according to the size of the workpiece, thereby enabling the processing of workpieces of different sizes and enhancing the versatility of the CNC grinding machine.
[0004] The aforementioned device can perform grinding operations on workpieces of different sizes by adjusting the components. However, it lacks an automatic measurement component, making it impossible to monitor changes in workpiece dimensions in real time during grinding. This necessitates repeated machine stops and reliance on manual offline inspection tools such as outside micrometers and profilometers, resulting in reduced processing efficiency. Therefore, a CNC grinding machine with an automatic measurement mechanism is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] Dual-mode measurement and collaborative control: The laser rangefinder monitors the macroscopic dimensions of the workpiece (such as diameter and thickness) in real time, while the contact probe precisely controls the contact force through a pressure sensor and collects microscopic contour data. When a dimensional deviation is detected, the controller immediately adjusts the second electric push rod to drive the grinding disc to correct the feed rate. This eliminates the need for frequent machine stops for measurement, improving grinding efficiency and accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The upper end of the U-shaped frame 4 is equipped with a grinding component.
[0027] In this embodiment: the third motor 19 drives the lead screw 3 to rotate, which in turn moves the U-shaped frame 4. At the same time, the first motor 17 drives the grinding disc 18 to rotate at high speed. When the U-shaped frame 4 moves, it drives the grinding assembly to move from back to front. During the grinding process, the laser rangefinder 24 moves accordingly and detects the changes in the macroscopic dimensions of the workpiece, which are transmitted to the controller in real time. The piezoelectric ceramic damper 11 cancels the vibration interference during the grinding process. The first electric push rod 7 pushes the support plate 8 to the right. The pressure sensor 9 detects the contact pressure between the contact probe 13 and the workpiece and collects microscopic contour data. According to the error model, the controller starts the second electric push rod 15 to adjust the position of the grinding disc 18 and adjusts the feed path for the next grinding cycle to avoid overcutting.
[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the grinding assembly includes a rectangular plate 5 fixedly connected to the upper end of the U-shaped frame 4. An auxiliary plate 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rectangular plate 5. A second electric push rod 15 is installed at the right end of the auxiliary plate 14.

The output end of the first motor 17 passes through the movable frame 16 and is fixedly connected to a grinding disc 18.
[0029] In this embodiment: the moving frame 16 can be moved by the second electric push rod 15, and the grinding disc 18 can be rotated by the first motor 17.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a clamping mechanism is provided above the base frame 1. The clamping mechanism includes two upright plates 25 that are fixedly connected to the upper end of the base frame 1 and distributed front to back. A second motor 20 is installed at the front end of the front upright plate 25. The output end of the second motor 20 passes through the front upright plate 25 and is fixedly connected to a first clamping plate 21. A third electric push rod 22 is installed at the rear end of the rear upright plate 25.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a third motor 19 with its output end fixedly connected to the lead screw 3 is installed at the front end of the front vertical plate 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lead screw 3 can be driven to rotate by the third motor 19.
[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the abrasive disc 18 is located in front of the right side of the contact probe 13.
[0035] In this embodiment: the contact probe 13 detects the data after the workpiece is ground.
[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 4 is attached to the top end of the base frame 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 4 is attached to the upper end of the base frame 1 to prevent the U-shaped frame 4 from rotating axially.
[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a controller is installed at the front end of the front end plate 25.
[0039] In this embodiment: the controller is electrically connected to the first motor 17, the second motor 20, the third motor 19, the first electric actuator 7, the second electric actuator 15, the third electric actuator 22, the contact probe 13, the pressure sensor 9, and the laser rangefinder 24. The controller can control the operation of the first motor 17, the second motor 20, the third motor 19, the first electric actuator 7, the second electric actuator 15, the third electric actuator 22, the contact probe 13 (model Renishaw SP25M), the pressure sensor 9 (model Honeywell FSG15N1A), and the laser rangefinder 24 (model Keyence LK-G5000).
[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the workpiece to be processed is placed between the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 23. The third electric push rod 22 pushes the second clamping plate 23 to move axially, cooperating with the first clamping plate 21 to clamp the workpiece. The second motor 20 drives the first clamping plate 21 to rotate, achieving workpiece fixation and rotation. The third motor 19 drives the lead screw 3 to rotate, causing the U-shaped frame 4 to move. Simultaneously, the first motor 17 drives the grinding disc 18 to rotate at high speed. When the U-shaped frame 4 moves, it drives the grinding assembly to move from back to front. During the grinding process, the laser rangefinder 24 moves accordingly, simultaneously detecting changes in the macroscopic dimensions of the workpiece and transmitting the data to the controller in real time. The piezoelectric ceramic damper 11 counteracts vibration interference during the grinding process. The first electric push rod 7 pushes the support plate 8 to the right. The pressure sensor 9 detects the contact pressure between the contact probe 13 and the workpiece and collects microscopic contour data. Based on the error model, the controller activates the second electric push rod 15 to adjust the position of the grinding disc 18 and adjust the next grinding feed path to avoid overcutting.
