Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotating components, and in particular to an automatic alignment device for rotating components. Background Technology
[0002] In machining, rotary machining is a very common and important machining method. Conventional rotary machining mainly adopts fixed-axis machining or automatic machining mode.
[0003] In fixed-axis machining, the rotating axis of the machining equipment is fixed, and rotational machining is achieved by controlling the movement of the workpiece or tool along a specific track. In contrast, automated machining, based on a pre-set program, controls the movement of each axis of the machining equipment in a specific sequence and with specific parameters, driving the rotating components to perform machining. Both of these machining methods, when faced with materials arriving at relatively uniform angles, can efficiently and accurately complete the machining task by using either programmed rotation or fixed rotation, ensuring that the product meets predetermined dimensional accuracy and quality standards.
[0004] However, when encountering situations where the incoming material angles are not uniform, due to the randomness of the incoming material angles, it is difficult to quickly and accurately adjust the rotating parts to the appropriate processing angle by relying on pre-set program rotation or fixed rotation methods, resulting in deviations during the processing and reduced processing accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the problems mentioned above, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.
[0006] An automatic alignment device for rotating parts includes: a processing table; a rotary drive table mounted on the processing table, the rotary drive table being used to carry the material to be aligned so as to drive the material to adjust its angle; and two probes, the two probes being mounted at intervals on the processing table, the probes being configured to measure the positions of two points on the material at different distances in the same direction.
[0007] Preferably, the processing table includes: a first power source installed at the bottom of the processing table, the power shaft of the first power source being connected to a rotary drive table, and the probe being connected to the first power source.
[0008] Preferably, the processing table further includes a controller, which is installed on the processing table. The first power source and the probe are both connected to the controller. The controller is used to receive information detected by the probe, calculate the angle that the material needs to be adjusted based on the information, and control the first power source to drive the rotary drive table to rotate, so as to realize the automatic alignment of the material.
[0009] Preferably, the processing table further includes: an outer ring plate, which is installed on the processing table; the rotary drive table is disposed inside the outer ring plate; and the two probes are installed on the outer ring plate.
[0010] Preferably, the outer ring plate includes: a fixing plate mounted on the outer ring plate, and two probes mounted on the fixing plate.
[0011] Preferably, the outer ring plate further includes: an internal gear installed on the inner ring of the outer ring plate; a drive gear installed on the machining table, the drive gear meshing with the internal gear; and a second power source installed on the machining table, the power shaft of the second power source being connected to the drive gear.
[0012] Preferably, the fixing plate includes: two adjustment slots, the two adjustment slots being formed on the fixing plate; and two adjustment seats, the adjustment seats being installed in the adjustment slots, and the probe being installed on the adjustment seats.
[0013] Preferably, the fixing plate further includes: two lead screws connected to an adjusting seat; and a third power source mounted on the fixing plate, wherein the two output shafts of the third power source are respectively connected to the two lead screws.
[0014] This invention provides an automatic alignment device for rotating components. Compared with existing technologies, it offers the following advantages: By measuring the positions of two points at different distances along the same direction on the material using probes, the error value is obtained, and the deviation angle is calculated using an inverse trigonometric function. This, combined with the theoretical angle, yields the actual angle. Finally, the rotating drive table is driven to rotate the material to the actual angle. This adapts to the randomness of the incoming material angle and adjusts the rotating component to a suitable processing angle. By adjusting the distance between the two probes, the probe positions can be flexibly adjusted according to materials of different sizes and shapes, ensuring accurate measurement of points on the material. This enhances the device's adaptability to different materials. The outer ring plate can rotate on the processing table, allowing for adjustment of the overall probe position and improving the device's ability to handle complex incoming material conditions.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 An automatic alignment device for rotating parts includes: a processing table 100; a rotary drive table 200 mounted on the processing table 100, the rotary drive table 200 being used to carry the material to be aligned so as to drive the material to adjust its angle; and two probes 400, the two probes 400 being mounted at intervals on the processing table 100, the probes 400 being configured to measure the positions of two points on the material at different distances in the same direction.
[0027] In this embodiment, the spacing of the probes 400 is designed according to actual measurement requirements to ensure accurate measurement of the positions of two points at different distances in the same direction on the material. The probes 400 are configured to measure the positions of two points at different distances in the same direction on the material. The probes 400 can be optical sensors, laser sensors, or other types of position sensors; the appropriate probe type is selected based on the material's material and surface characteristics. The probes 400 convert the measured position information into electrical signals and transmit them to the controller 101 for processing. The rotary drive stage 200 is mounted on the processing table 100 and is used to support the material to be aligned. Driven by the first power source 201, it can rotate on the processing table 100, thereby adjusting the angle of the material. The surface of the rotary drive stage 200 can be designed according to the shape and characteristics of the material; for example, anti-slip textures or positioning devices can be provided to ensure the stability of the material during rotation.
[0028] The processing table 100 includes: a first power source 201, installed at the bottom of the processing table 100, the power shaft of the first power source 201 being connected to the rotary drive table 200, and the probe 400 being connected to the first power source 201; and a controller 101, installed on the processing table 100, with both the first power source 201 and the probe 400 connected to the controller 101. The controller 101 is used to receive information detected by the probe 400, calculate the angle that the material needs to be adjusted based on the information, and control the first power source 201 to drive the rotary drive table 200 to rotate, so as to realize the automatic alignment of the material.
[0029] The controller 101 is the core of the entire device, connected to both the probe 400 and the first power source 201. The probe 400 transmits the measured position information of two points on the material to the controller 101. Upon receiving this information, the controller 101 calculates the required angle adjustment of the material based on a preset algorithm. Then, the controller 101 sends a control signal to the first power source 201, controlling it to rotate the rotary drive table 200 by the corresponding angle.
[0030] The aforementioned first power source 201 is installed at the bottom of the machining table 100. This installation method effectively utilizes the space beneath the machining table 100 while ensuring the stability of the connection between the power source and the rotary drive table 200. The power shaft of the first power source 201 is connected to the rotary drive table 200. When the first power source 201 is started, its power is transmitted to the rotary drive table 200 through the power shaft, driving the rotary drive table 200 to rotate on the machining table 100. The first power source 201 is connected to the controller 101, receives instructions from the controller 101, and precisely controls the rotation angle of the rotary drive table 200 based on the angle information calculated by the controller 101.
[0031] The processing table 100 further includes: an outer ring plate 300, mounted on the processing table 100, a rotary drive table 200 disposed inside the outer ring plate 300, and two probes 400 mounted on the outer ring plate 300; the outer ring plate 300 includes: a fixing plate 301, mounted on the outer ring plate 300, and two probes 400 mounted on the fixing plate 301; an internal gear 302, mounted on the inner ring of the outer ring plate 300; a drive gear 303, mounted on the processing table 100, the drive gear 303 meshing with the internal gear 302; and a second power source 304, mounted on the processing table 100, the power shaft of the second power source 304 connected to the drive gear 303.
[0032] The outer ring plate 300 serves to protect and position the rotary drive stage 200, while also providing an installation position for the probe 400. The fixing plate 301 provides a stable mounting base for the probe 400, ensuring the positional accuracy of the probe 400 during the measurement process. The internal gear 302 is installed on the inner ring of the outer ring plate 300, and it cooperates with the drive gear 303 to realize the rotation function of the outer ring plate 300. The second power source 304 provides rotational power to the drive gear 303. The controller 101 can control the start, stop, and rotation speed of the second power source 304, thereby realizing precise rotation control of the outer ring plate 300. The second power source 304 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor. The second power source 304 drives the drive gear 303 to rotate, the drive gear 303 drives the internal gear 302 to rotate, the internal gear 302 can drive the outer ring plate 300 to rotate, and the outer ring plate 300 drives the probe 400 to rotate on the processing table 100. The monitoring direction of the probe 400 can be adjusted, and different directions of the material can be monitored.
[0033] The fixed plate 301 includes: two adjustment slots 305, which are formed on the fixed plate 301; two adjustment seats 306, which are installed in the adjustment slots 305, and the probe 400 is installed on the adjustment seats 306; two lead screws 307, which are connected to the adjustment seats 306; and a third power source 308, which is installed on the fixed plate 301, and whose two output shafts are respectively connected to the two lead screws 307.
[0034] The aforementioned adjustment groove 305 provides a sliding track for the adjustment seat 306, enabling the adjustment seat 306 to move linearly on the fixed plate 301. The adjustment seat 306 can slide within the adjustment groove 305, thereby changing the position of the probe 400. The rotation of the lead screw 307 can drive the adjustment seat 306 to move within the adjustment groove 305, achieving precise adjustment of the probe 400's position. The third power source 308 provides power for the rotation of the lead screw 307. The controller 101 can control the forward and reverse rotation and rotation angle of the third power source 308, thereby precisely controlling the moving distance and direction of the adjustment seat 306.
[0035] During use, based on the size and shape of the material to be aligned, the controller 101 controls the third power source 308 to drive the lead screw 307 to rotate, causing the adjusting seat 306 to move within the adjusting groove 305, thereby adjusting the position of the two probes 400. This ensures that the probes 400 can accurately measure the positions of two points on the material at different distances in the same direction. The material to be aligned is then placed on the rotary drive table 200, ensuring that the material is placed stably.
[0036] The controller 101 determines the theoretical angle to which the material needs to rotate based on the pre-set processing technology and design requirements. Then, the controller 101 sends a command to the first power source 201, which starts and drives the rotary drive table 200 to rotate via the power shaft, causing the material to rotate to the theoretical angle. Once the material has rotated to the theoretical angle, two probes 400 are activated. The two probes 400 measure the position of two points on the material at different distances in the same direction. Since the actual angle of the material may deviate from the theoretical angle, the positions of the two points measured by the probes 400 will differ from the theoretical positions. The controller 101 records the error values of these two points relative to the theoretical positions. The controller 101 substitutes the two error values into a preset inverse trigonometric function formula for calculation. For example, if the error value reflects the coordinate deviation of two points on a plane, the deviation angle between the actual angle and the theoretical angle can be calculated using trigonometric relationships (such as the tangent function) through an inverse trigonometric function.
[0037] The controller 101 adds the preset theoretical angle to the deviation angle calculated using inverse trigonometric functions to obtain the actual angle of the material. This actual angle takes into account both the theoretical design and the actual angle deviation of the material. Based on the calculated actual angle, the controller 101 sends a control signal to the first power source 201 again. The first power source 201 starts, driving the rotary drive table 200 to rotate, causing the material to rotate to the actual angle. Through this operation, the material is quickly and accurately aligned to the appropriate processing angle, and the actual angle of the material is measured. In certain special cases, such as when the overall position of the probe 400 needs to be adjusted, the controller 101 can control the second power source 304 to start. The second power source 304 drives the drive gear 303 to rotate. The drive gear 303, through meshing with the internal gear 302, drives the outer ring plate 300 to rotate, thereby adjusting the overall position of the probe 400.
[0038] In summary, compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:
[0039] The probe 400 measures the positions of two points at different distances in the same direction on the material, obtains the error value, calculates the deviation angle using an inverse trigonometric function, and then combines it with the theoretical angle to obtain the actual angle. Finally, it drives the rotary drive table 200 to rotate the material to the actual angle, which can adapt to the randomness of the incoming material angle and adjust the rotating parts to the appropriate processing angle.
[0040] By adjusting the distance between the two probes 400, the position of the probes 400 can be flexibly adjusted according to materials of different sizes and shapes, ensuring that the probes 400 can accurately measure points on the material, thus enhancing the adaptability of the device to different materials. The outer ring plate 300 can rotate on the processing table 100, which can adjust the overall position of the probes 400, improving the device's ability to cope with complex incoming material conditions.
