Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool calibration technology, and in particular to a calibration device for CNC machine tools. Background Technology
[0002] In CNC machine tool machining, precise workpiece positioning is crucial for ensuring machining accuracy. The roundness error and radial runout error of the workpiece on the fixture directly affect the final machining quality. In CNC machine tool workpiece calibration, operators typically use handheld calibration tools (such as dial indicators) to slowly rotate the workpiece using the fixture for monitoring. However, handheld operation has significant drawbacks: manual operation lacks stability and is easily affected by hand tremors and uneven force application, resulting in large deviations in measurement data. This makes it difficult to accurately capture workpiece errors and fails to meet the high-efficiency and precise machining requirements of modern CNC machine tools. Utility Model Content

By fixing the base to the CNC machine tool machining seat, clamping and positioning the calibration tool in the mounting seat, and locking and limiting the universal ball head through the limit bolt, it replaces the traditional manual hand-held method, effectively avoiding the problem of unstable measurement reference caused by factors such as hand tremors and force fluctuations, and ensuring the consistency of tool posture during the calibration process.

[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 A correction device for a CNC machine tool includes a base 20 and a steering mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the base 20.
[0025] Specifically, the base 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the CNC machine tool workpiece processing seat 10 by bolts. The steering mechanism is set on the top of the base 20 and is used to adjust the direction of the correction tool 12 to avoid damage to the correction tool 12 during the processing of the workpiece 11. The steering mechanism includes a sleeve 30, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base 20. A universal ball joint 31 is rotatably connected inside the sleeve 30. A mounting rod 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the universal ball joint 31. An adjusting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting rod 32. A mounting seat 50 is provided on the side of the adjusting rod away from the mounting rod 32 for mounting the correction tool 12.
[0026] A rubber pad is glued to the inner wall of the sleeve 30, which increases the friction between the inner wall of the sleeve 30 and the universal ball head 31. When the universal ball head 31 rotates, it can be rotated slowly with slight manual force, which improves the reliability of the universal ball head 31 position fixation when limiting the universal ball head 31 in the later stage.
[0027] A limiting bolt 33 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the sleeve 30. The position of the universal ball head 31 can be limited by screwing the limiting bolt 33 into the sleeve 30.
[0028] The adjusting rod includes a sleeve 40 and a connecting rod 41. The sleeve 40 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting rod 32. The inner wall of the sleeve 40 is pre-threaded. The connecting rod 41 is a threaded rod and is rotatably connected to the sleeve 40. The distance of the mounting seat 50 is adjusted by turning the connecting rod 41. With the help of the universal ball head 31, the vertical position of the adjusting rod on the side away from the mounting rod 32 can be adjusted, so that the correction tool 12 can move closer to the workpiece to be processed.
[0029] A steering mechanism is also installed between the mounting base 50 and the adjusting rod. Since the connecting rod 41 will rotate, it will inevitably drive the mounting base 50 to rotate. In order to keep the mounting base 50 in a vertical position, the angle of the mounting base 50 can be effectively adjusted by the steering mechanism so that it is not affected by the connecting rod 41, so as to facilitate the use of the calibration tool later.
[0030] A mounting groove is provided on the side of the mounting base 50 away from the connecting rod 41. The mounting groove is set as a through arc groove for mounting the calibration tool 12. A rubber pad is glued and fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove, which can increase the friction between the mounting groove and the calibration tool 12 and reduce the wear of the outer shell of the calibration tool 12.
[0031] The mounting base 50 is symmetrically provided with fixing components on the front and rear sides for fixing the calibration tool 12 on the mounting base 50. The fixing components include fixing rods 51, which are threaded rods. Threaded through holes are opened on the front and rear sides of the mounting base 50. The fixing rods 51 are rotatably connected to the threaded through holes on the mounting base 50. A fixing plate 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing rod 51. The fixing plate 52 is located in the mounting groove. The side of the fixing rod 51 away from the fixing plate 52 passes through the mounting base 50 and extends to its outer side. A knob is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing rod 51 that passes through.
[0032] The outer side of the fixing plate 52 is wrapped with a rubber sleeve, which can increase the friction between the fixing plate 52 and the calibration tool 12, and also reduce the wear of the outer shell of the calibration tool 12.
[0033] The calibration tool 12 uses a lever dial indicator to detect the roundness error or radial runout error of the workpiece clamped on the fixture, which enables more accurate positioning of the workpiece.
[0034] The entire calibration device can be made of rust-proof and corrosion-resistant materials; lubricant can be added to the universal ball joint and threaded connection weekly; check the wear of the rubber pads monthly, and replace them in time if cracks or hardening occur; when not in use for a long time, reset the device to the state shown in Figure 4 to avoid deformation of the parts due to stress.
[0035] In actual operation of the embodiments of this application,
[0036] The base 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the CNC machine tool workpiece machining seat 10 by bolts to ensure that the whole device is stably connected to the machine tool machining seat;
[0037] The lever dial indicator is used as a calibration tool. It is placed in the mounting groove on the side of the mounting base 50 away from the connecting rod 41 (the mounting groove is a through arc groove that fits the shape of most calibration tools). Then, the knob is turned to drive the fixing rod 51 into the threaded through hole of the mounting base 50, so that the fixing plate 52 gradually approaches the lever dial indicator and clamps it in place. The rubber sleeve on the outside of the fixing plate 52 further enhances the fixing effect and protects the tool shell.
[0038] Tighten the connecting rod 41 (rotating within the sleeve 40) to change the distance between the mounting base 50 and the mounting rod 32 using the threaded connection, allowing the lever dial indicator to gradually approach the workpiece 11 to be processed. If the rotation of the connecting rod 41 causes the mounting base 50 to tilt, the angle of the mounting base 50 can be adjusted through the steering mechanism between the mounting base 50 and the adjusting rod (same as the steering mechanism structure at the top of the base 20) to keep it vertical and ensure the accurate measurement direction of the lever dial indicator. At the same time, finely adjust the angle of the universal ball head 31 again, and adjust the length of the adjusting rod to ensure that the probe of the lever dial indicator accurately contacts the position to be tested on the workpiece 11 (such as the outer circular surface of the clamping part of the workpiece 11). After the lever dial indicator is in position, tighten the limiting bolt 33 on the side wall of the sleeve 30 to screw it into the sleeve 30 and abut against the universal ball head 31 to prevent it from shifting position due to machine tool vibration or external force during the calibration process, thus ensuring measurement stability.
[0039] Start the CNC machine tool and slowly rotate the workpiece 11 with the machining seat. The probe of the lever dial indicator will deviate due to the roundness error or radial runout of the workpiece surface. The clamping accuracy of the workpiece can be directly reflected by the dial reading. After the calibration is completed, loosen the limit bolt 32 and adjust the universal ball head 31 to rotate the mounting seat 50, adjusting rod and other components back to the initial avoidance position to avoid damage to the device due to collision when the machine tool is not working (the lever dial indicator can be removed or not, which can avoid repeated installation and removal).
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations are possible with this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
