Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection fixtures, and in particular to a three-coordinate inspection fixture. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a precision measurement method for inspecting workpieces. It is widely used in modern industries such as machinery manufacturing and automobile manufacturing. CMM is sometimes also used in reverse engineering design, which involves collecting and mapping the spatial geometry and three-dimensional data of an object to provide point data. Then, software is used to construct a three-dimensional model. Unlike traditional measuring instruments that compare the measured object with a mechanical reference, CMM measurement is actually based on the collection and calculation of spatial point coordinates. During inspection, the workpiece is placed on a platform, and the measuring machine probe collects point data from the workpiece from different directions. The workpiece needs to be fixed using a positioning fixture. Some irregularly shaped shell parts have complex structures and high dimensional accuracy requirements, which imposes strict requirements on the inspection methods and necessitates the use of CMM (Computer-Machine Interface) for inspection. On the other hand, the inspection datum for such parts is located inside the part's cavity, and the CMM probe cannot establish a coordinate system by directly acquiring the part's datum surface. Therefore, it is necessary to design special auxiliary inspection fixtures to help with positioning and to acquire the fixture's positioning surface to replace the part's datum surface. At the same time, the fixture must not interfere with the CMM measurement path. Existing part positioning methods are not accurate, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent inspections.
