Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting tool equipment, specifically an automatic milling cutter trimming device. Background Technology

[0002] A milling cutter is a rotating cutting tool with one or more cutting teeth used for milling operations. During operation, each cutting tooth sequentially and intermittently removes the excess material from the workpiece. Milling cutters are mainly used on milling machines to machine planes, steps, grooves, shaped surfaces, and cut off workpieces. After prolonged use, existing milling cutters will exhibit varying degrees of wear on their cutting body, such as a shift in the helix angle of the cutting edge or uneven depth of the grooves between the cutting edges. When these issues occur, most companies tend to discard the milling cutter directly, but this results in significant waste and increases production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1As shown, the automatic milling cutter trimming device 320 includes a worktable 100. A tool fixing mechanism 200 and a trimming mechanism 300 are arranged opposite to each other on the worktable 100. The tool fixing mechanism 200 includes a clamping fixture 210 and a first rotating device 220 for driving the clamping fixture 210 to rotate. The clamping fixture 210 is used to clamp the milling cutter. A first translation device 230 is provided at the bottom of the clamping fixture 210 and the first rotating device 220. The first translation device 230 is used to drive the clamping fixture 210 and the first rotating device 220 to move toward the trimming mechanism 300. A detection device 400 is provided on one side of the clamping fixture 210. The detection device 400 is used to detect the cutter body of the milling cutter. The detection device 400 is electrically connected to the trimming mechanism 300.

[0023] In the implementation of this application, the milling cutter is first placed in the clamping fixture 210, and then the detection device 400 is activated to detect the conductor part of the milling cutter. The detection content includes, but is not limited to, the detection of the helix angle of the cutting edge and the detection of the groove between the cutting edges. After the detection is completed, the detection data is sent to the trimming mechanism 300. Then, the first translation device 230 is activated to drive the clamping fixture 210 and the first rotation device 220 to move toward the trimming mechanism 300. After translating to a preset distance, the first rotation device 220 drives the clamping fixture 210 to rotate the milling cutter. Finally, the trimming mechanism 300 is activated to trim the cutter body.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, this application, by setting up a tool fixing mechanism 200, a trimming mechanism 300, and a detection device 400, enables the entire device to automatically detect the preset parameters of the milling cutter body. After the detection is completed, the tool fixing mechanism 200 and the trimming mechanism 300 are used to trim and adjust the milling cutter body so that the parameters of the milling cutter body can meet the parameter standards again, thereby realizing the secondary use of the milling cutter. The whole process is completed automatically, which not only saves labor costs but also realizes the secondary use of the milling cutter, further reducing the production costs of enterprises.

[0025] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping fixture 210 is a cylinder with one hollow end. One end of the clamping fixture 210 clamps and fixes one end of the milling cutter through an interference fit. A fixed seat 211 is fitted over the clamping fixture 210. The clamping fixture 210 can continue to rotate within the fixed seat 211. Thus, when the first rotating device 220 drives the clamping fixture 210 to rotate, the fixed seat 211 can ensure the stability of the rotation of the clamping fixture 210.

[0026] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating device 220 includes a first support plate 221. A first rotating motor 222 is installed on the first rotating device 220. The drive end of the first rotating motor 222 is fixedly connected to the clamping fixture 210. Thus, when the first rotating motor 222 is started, it can drive the clamping fixture 210 to rotate synchronously within the fixed base 211.

[0027] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first translation device 230 includes a second rotary motor 231, which is located on the side of the first support plate 221 away from the clamping fixture 210. A transmission screw 232 is connected to the second rotary motor 231, and the transmission screw 232 is connected to the first support plate 221. Thus, when the second rotary motor 231 drives the transmission screw 232 to rotate, the first support plate 221 can move back and forth along the direction of the transmission screw 232.

[0028] Furthermore, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two guide plates 233 are arranged in parallel between the second rotary motor 231 and the first support plate 221. The guide plates 233 are embedded in the first support plate 221. In this way, when the second rotary motor 231 drives the transmission screw 232 to rotate, the guide plates 233 guide the first support plate 221 to move forward and backward.

[0029] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the detection device 400 includes a first connecting seat 410 disposed on the top of the first support plate 221. The first connecting seat 410 is disposed on one side of the clamping fixture 210. A second support plate 420 is disposed on the first connecting seat 410, and the second support plate 420 is slidable relative to the first connecting seat 410. A detection probe 430 is mounted on the top of the second support plate 420, and the detection probe 430 is aligned with the milling cutter on the clamping fixture 210. A detection probe 430 is provided at the end of the first connecting seat 410 away from the clamping fixture 210. A first propulsion cylinder 440 is provided, and the drive end of the first propulsion cylinder 440 is connected to the second support plate 420. When it is necessary to test the cutter body, the first propulsion cylinder 440 is activated to drive the second support plate 420 and the detection probe 430 to approach the clamping fixture 210. Then, the detection probe 430 covers the top and bottom of the cutter. Then, the clamping fixture 210 is activated to drive the cutter to rotate, thereby completing the detection of various parameters of the conductor, such as the helix angle of the cutting edge and the groove between the cutting edges. Then, the detection data is sent to the trimming mechanism 300.

[0030] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the trimming mechanism 300 includes a bracket 310, in which a trimming device 320 is suspended. The trimming device 320 is used to trim the milling cutter. A second translation device 330 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 310. The second translation device 330 is used to control the trimming device 320 to move back and forth relative to the clamping fixture 210. When the modification mechanism receives data from the detection device 400, the second translation device 330 controls the modification device to move closer to the clamping fixture 210, and then starts the trimming device 320 to trim the cutter body of the milling cutter.

[0031] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the trimming device 320 is suspended in the bracket 310 by a connecting rod 321. The trimming device 320 includes a second connecting seat 322, on which a third rotary motor 323 is provided. A grinding wheel 324 is provided on the driving end of the third rotary motor 323. The third rotary motor 323 can drive the grinding wheel 324 to rotate. When the second translation device 330 controls the modification device to approach the clamping fixture 210, the third rotary motor 323 can be started to drive the grinding wheel 324 to rotate, grinding the blade body of the tool, thereby realizing the trimming function of the tool.

[0032] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a support base 325 is provided below the trimming device 320, and a fourth rotary motor 326 is provided on the support base 325. The drive end of the fourth rotary motor 326 is connected to the second connecting seat 322, so that the second connecting seat 322 can be driven to make a small-amplitude swing, which can more accurately control the grinding wheel 324 to trim the tool.

[0033] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second translation device 330 includes a second propulsion cylinder 331, which is located at the bottom of the support 310. The driving end of the second propulsion cylinder 331 is connected to a propulsion rod 332, which is connected to the bottom of the support 310. This allows the support 310 to move back and forth by activating the second propulsion cylinder 331, thereby controlling the movement of the modification device relative to the clamping fixture 210.

[0034] The details of the above exemplary embodiments are provided, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
