Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of twist drill testing technology, and in particular to a twist drill size testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Twist drills are commonly used drilling tools in machining. Their dimensional accuracy directly affects the machining quality. By using appropriate detection devices, the dimensional quality of twist drills can be effectively controlled, thereby improving machining accuracy and tool life.
[0003] A search revealed that CN219757272U discloses a high-precision drill bit dimension detection device. By setting a first detection device, a second measurement device, and a third detection device on the measuring groove, the device can measure the outer diameter and length of the drill bit at different positions. A support plate is set between the measuring groove and the base plate, and telescopic columns are set on both sides of the support plate. The lifting and lowering can be adjusted by the cooperation of the spiral column inside the support plate, so that the inner surface of the measuring groove is in close contact with the drill bit, thereby improving the detection accuracy. The telescopic columns can support the measuring groove, making the measuring groove detection process more stable.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following technical defects need to be improved: Although the above-mentioned device can detect the length and outer diameter of the drill bit, in order to ensure the processing performance of the drill bit, the existing detection method is to manually observe the drill bit with a microscope. During the detection, the results are mostly judged based on the experience of the workers, which is prone to misjudgment. In addition, the detection of the drill bit and the length and outer diameter of the drill bit cannot be integrated into one unit, thereby increasing the floor space required. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0032] This application discloses a device for detecting the size of a twist drill. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4The twist drill size detection device includes a positioning housing 1, a bracket 2, a scale 3, a movable top plate 4, a counting bar 5, a length detection component 6, an outer diameter detection component 7, and a laser scanner 8. The bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the positioning housing 1, the scale 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bracket 2, the movable top plate 4 is slidably connected to the top of the positioning housing 1, the counting bar 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable top plate 4, the length detection component 6 is installed inside the positioning housing 1, the outer diameter detection component 7 is installed on one side of the movable top plate 4, and the laser scanner 8 is installed on the side of the movable top plate 4 near the outer diameter detection component 7.
[0033] The bracket 2 is used to support the scale 3, the movable top plate 4 is used to connect the counting bar 5, the counting bar 5 is attached to the scale 3, and the length detection component 6 is used to accurately measure the length of the twist drill. The outer diameter detection component 7 is attached to the outside of the twist drill bit and accurately detects the outer diameter of the twist drill. The laser scanner 8 captures the drill bit profile through a high-resolution camera and measures the drill tip angle and helix angle.
[0034] The laser scanner 8 can capture three-dimensional contours, automatically analyze drill tip geometry parameters, and directly output drill tip angle and helix angle data without manual intervention, supporting full parameter detection of high-precision drill bits.
[0035] The length detection component 6 includes a stepper motor 61, a threaded rod 62, a linear shaft 63, and a sliding plate 64. The stepper motor 61 is installed inside the positioning housing 1. The threaded rod 62 is installed outside the output end of the stepper motor 61. The linear shaft 63 passes through the interior of the sliding plate 64 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning housing 1. The outer side of the sliding plate 64 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable top plate 4.
[0036] The counting bar 5 moves with the movable top plate 4 and stops when its end contacts the top of the drill bit. The length value can be read directly through the scale 3.
[0037] The outer diameter detection assembly 7 includes a connecting plate 71, a backing plate 72, an outwardly expanding contact strip 73, and a turnbuckle 74. The connecting plate 71 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable top plate 4, and the bottom of the connecting plate 71 is fixedly connected to the surface of the backing plate 72. The top of the backing plate 72 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the outwardly expanding contact strip 73. The side wall of the outwardly expanding contact strip 73 abuts against the helical surface of the twist drill. The hook end of the turnbuckle 74 is fixedly connected to the surface of the outwardly expanding contact strip 73 by a rope.
[0038] Traditional tools struggle to measure complex parameters such as helix angle and cutting edge symmetry. The extended contact strip 73 conforms to the helical surface of the twist drill, and the contact pressure is adjusted via the turnbuckle 74 to accommodate drill bits of different diameters.
[0039] A circular sleeve 9 and a handle 10 are also provided on one side of the bracket 2. The handle 10 is installed on the outside of the bracket 2, and the circular sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the handle 10. The inner wall of the circular sleeve 9 is inserted into the end face of the twist drill rod.
[0040] The handle 10 and circular sleeve 9 facilitate quick clamping of the drill bit. The scale 3 and counting bar 5 visually display the length data, and the outer diameter scale 11 provides direct reading. If the device integrates a digital display, the length value is automatically output; otherwise, the reading on the scale 3 is recorded manually. During operation, ensure the drill bit is fully inserted into the circular sleeve 9 to avoid measurement deviation.
[0041] The side of the abutment 72 near the circular sleeve 9 is also provided with a scale line 11 for detecting the outer diameter of the twist drill.
[0042] The top of the positioning housing 1 is also provided with a limiting groove 12, which is larger than the thickness of the movable top plate 4.
[0043] The abutment 72 forms a screw drive structure with the movable top plate 4 and the length detection component 6, and the end face of the abutment 72 is flush with the end face of the counting bar 5.
[0044] The usage process of the twist drill size detection device in this embodiment is roughly as follows:
[0045] When fixing the drill bit, hold the handle 10 and insert the drill rod end face of the twist drill into the circular sleeve 9 to ensure axial fixation of the drill bit. Adjust the drill bit position so that the drill bit edge is suspended above the measurement area of the outer diameter detection component 7. Turn on the power, initialize the laser scanner 8 and stepper motor 61, and check whether the scale 3 and the counting bar 5 are aligned to the zero position. During the detection process, start the stepper motor 61, which drives the threaded rod 62 to rotate, pushing the sliding plate 64 to move along the linear axis 63, causing the movable top plate 4 to slide towards the drill bit tip. The counting bar 5 moves with the movable top plate 4 and stops when its end contacts the top of the drill bit. The length value is read directly through the scale 3. Then rotate the turnbuckle 74 to pull the outward expansion contact bar 73 through the rope, so that its sidewall is in close contact with the helical surface of the twist drill. The scale line 11 on the abutment plate 72 displays the outer diameter value in real time. If the drill bit diameter changes, the outward expansion contact bar 73 slides along the top of the abutment plate 72 to adapt and ensure uniform contact pressure. The high-resolution camera of the laser scanner 8 is aimed at the drill tip and automatically captures the contour image. The software analyzes the drill tip angle, helix angle, and cutting edge symmetry, and the data is directly displayed or transmitted to the terminal. After the inspection is completed, the turnbuckle screw 74 is loosened, causing the outward-expanding contact bar 73 to disengage from the drill bit surface. The stepper motor 61 is then reversed, causing the movable top plate 4 to return to its initial position.
[0046] The beneficial technical effects of the twist drill size detection device in this application are roughly as follows:
[0047] This device uses a laser scanner 8 combined with a high-resolution camera to automatically capture the drill bit profile and quantitatively measure parameters such as drill tip angle and helix angle, eliminating human error. The outer diameter detection component 7, through the cooperation of the outward-expanding contact strip 73 and the scale line 11, achieves objective measurement of the outer diameter, avoiding human reading deviations. The length detection component 6, driven by a stepper motor 61, moves the threaded rod 62, causing the sliding plate 64 to move automatically, and, in conjunction with the counting strip 5 and the scale 3, achieves rapid length measurement. Furthermore, integrating the length detection component 6, the outer diameter detection component 7, and the laser scanner 8 into a single device, and using the movable top plate 4 for simultaneous multi-parameter detection, and fixing the drill rod end face with a circular sleeve 9, ensures stable drill bit positioning during detection, avoids repeated clamping, and thus improves the detection rate of this device.
[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
