Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning technology, and in particular to a multi-workpiece positioning fixture for a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of 3D coordinate measurement, traditional measurement and positioning methods have many problems that need to be solved. In batch workpiece measurement scenarios, routine operations often require each workpiece to be clamped and positioned individually. Each clamping requires recalibrating the benchmark, which not only consumes a lot of auxiliary time, but also makes it difficult to meet the needs of efficient batch inspection, resulting in low overall measurement efficiency and failing to meet the requirements of rapid quality verification in batch production. Due to the lack of a unified positioning benchmark system, different workpieces are prone to positioning deviations during clamping due to differences in operation methods and placement positions. This results in poor consistency of measurement data for the same batch of workpieces, frequent data fluctuations, which seriously affect the accurate judgment of product quality. In some cases, misjudgment may even lead to qualified workpieces being rejected or unqualified workpieces flowing into the next stage. Patent application CN202322332517.8 discloses a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) fixture. This solution addresses the problem that most traditional CMM fixtures lack a shifting mechanism, requiring repeated clamping and disassembly to change the workpiece position, resulting in low efficiency. However, this solution does not address the motion control of the measuring mechanism. Traditional drive and guide structures lack sufficient precision, easily leading to offset, shaking, or jamming during movement. This prevents the measuring components from accurately reaching the preset measurement position, affecting the accuracy of the measurement data and increasing the difficulty of subsequent data correction. Furthermore, traditional positioning structures have limited adaptability, typically requiring customized fixtures, which not only increases equipment investment costs but also necessitates additional time for further processing. The replacement and adjustment of fixtures reduce the overall utilization rate of equipment, especially in multi-variety, small-batch production scenarios, where this limitation is more pronounced. In addition, the overall structural rigidity of traditional solutions is insufficient, making them prone to slight deformation or displacement under external environmental vibration or measurement forces, leading to changes in workpiece positioning. The lack of a stable synchronization mechanism in data recording and storage makes data loss or recording chaos more likely, reducing the reliability and traceability of measurement results and posing significant challenges to quality traceability and problem troubleshooting. These issues make it difficult to meet the high standards and strict requirements of measurement work in the precision manufacturing field. These problems collectively restrict the application of 3D coordinate measurement technology in efficient, accurate, and universal measurement scenarios, and urgently require more optimized technical solutions to address them. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a multi-workpiece positioning fixture for a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine that can solve the problem of low positioning efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-workpiece positioning fixture for a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine, including a worktable. A strip-shaped groove is formed on the upper surface of the worktable. A positioning pin is fixedly installed on the side of each groove. The axis of the positioning pin is perpendicular to the upper surface of the worktable and is used to form a precision fit with the workpiece positioning hole of the corresponding station. A locking block is slidably connected in each groove. The side of the locking block facing the workpiece is provided with a positioning surface adapted to the outer wall of the workpiece. The locking block can be pressed and fixed by sliding along the groove to fit tightly against the outer wall of the workpiece.

[0005] Preferably, at least two grooves are provided at intervals along the length of the worktable, and each groove is parallel to the others.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning pins on the side of the groove are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the worktable, and the locating pin axes on the same side of the groove are coplanar.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning surface of the card block is an arc-shaped surface or a plane that matches the contour of the outer wall of the workpiece.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the card block that matches the groove is an inverted trapezoid.

[0009] Preferably, the worktable is provided with a frame around it, and two Y-axis supports are fixedly installed on the frame. The two Y-axis supports are provided with guide rails, and Y-axis sliders are slidably connected to the guide rails. Y-axis lead screws are rotatably installed on the Y-axis supports, and the Y-axis sliders are threaded onto the two Y-axis lead screws.

[0010] Preferably, an X-axis lead screw is rotatably mounted inside the Y-axis slider, and two guide rods are fixedly mounted inside the Y-axis slider. An X-axis slider is slidably sleeved on the guide rods, and the X-axis slider is threaded onto the X-axis lead screw.

[0011] Preferably, a guide rail is fixedly installed inside the X-axis slider, and a Z-axis slider is slidably connected to the guide rail. A Z-axis lead screw is rotatably installed on the X-axis slider, and the Z-axis slider is threaded onto the Z-axis lead screw. A rangefinder is fixedly installed on the Z-axis slider. Stepper motors are fixedly installed on the Y-axis support, Y-axis slider, and X-axis slider. The Y-axis lead screw, X-axis lead screw, and Z-axis lead screw are respectively fixedly installed on the output shaft of the corresponding stepper motor.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) The multi-workpiece positioning fixture of the three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine has a worktable as a rigid load-bearing foundation, which provides a stable installation reference for all components, ensuring that the positioning pins, grooves and other structures maintain accurate relative positions during the measurement process, and ensuring the overall structural stability. The precise fit between the positioning pins and the workpiece positioning holes, combined with the groove-guided clamping block, can simultaneously achieve unified reference positioning for multiple workpieces, greatly reducing auxiliary time and significantly improving batch measurement efficiency. Moreover, the positioning consistency of each workpiece is strong, avoiding measurement deviations caused by single clamping differences. The guide rail on the Y-axis support and the Y-axis lead screw work together with the stepper motor to drive the Y-axis slider to move smoothly. The X-axis slider achieves precise guidance and sliding through the X-axis lead screw and guide rod. The Z-axis slider completes height adjustment with the help of the Z-axis lead screw and guide rail. The combination of the lead screw and guide rail of the three-stage motion system, driven by the stepper motor, ensures that the rangefinder can move accurately along the preset trajectory, reducing offset or shaking during the movement process, greatly improving the measurement position control accuracy, and providing reliable motion guarantee for the rangefinder to obtain accurate data. This 3D coordinate measuring machine features a multi-workpiece positioning fixture. The sliding fit design of the groove and the locking block allows the locking block to adapt to the outer wall contour of workpieces of different sizes. The layout of the positioning pins is compatible with workpieces with different positioning holes, eliminating the need for custom-made fixtures for specific workpieces. This significantly enhances the fixture's versatility and reduces equipment investment costs. The frame enhances the overall structural rigidity, and together with the stable support of the worktable, it reduces the impact of external vibrations on the positioning pins, locking blocks, and moving parts of each axis during measurement. The locking blocks firmly press against the workpiece to prevent workpiece displacement during measurement. The stable drive of the stepper motor ensures the consistency of movement of each axis. The real-time storage of measurement data in the data box further ensures the reliability and traceability of the measurement results, effectively reducing human error and improving the overall quality and efficiency of measurement work.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-workpiece positioning fixture for a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine, including a worktable 1, on which a groove 2 is provided, and two positioning pins 4 are fixedly installed on the side of each groove 2. The axis of the positioning pins 4 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the worktable 1 and is used to form a precise fit with the positioning hole of the workpiece 5 at the corresponding station. A locking block 3 is slidably connected in each groove 2. The side of the locking block 3 facing the workpiece 5 is provided with a positioning surface adapted to the outer wall of the workpiece. The locking block 3 can be pressed and fixed by sliding along the groove 2 to fit tightly against the outer wall of the workpiece 5. The worktable 1 provides a load-bearing foundation for the overall structure. The grooves 2 on its surface provide a sliding guide track for the locking blocks 3. Two positioning pins 4 on the side of each groove 2 are vertically fixed to the worktable 1. Through precise matching with the positioning holes of the workpiece 5, the translation and rotational freedom of the workpiece 5 in the horizontal direction are restricted to achieve initial reference positioning. The locking blocks 3 slidably connected in the groove 2 have their positioning surfaces facing the workpiece 5 adapted to the outer wall of the workpiece. By sliding along the groove 2 until they are in close contact with the outer wall of the workpiece 5, the workpiece 5 is firmly fixed by the pressure force to ensure that the workpiece 5 does not move during the measurement process. The workbench 1 is surrounded by a frame 6. Two Y-axis supports 7 are fixedly installed on the frame 6. Guide rails 8 are provided on the two Y-axis supports 7. Y-axis sliders 10 are slidably connected to the guide rails 8. A Y-axis lead screw 9 is rotatably mounted on the Y-axis support 7, and a Y-axis slider 10 is threaded onto the two Y-axis lead screws 9. The frame 6 around the worktable 1 provides mounting support for the Y-axis motion assembly. The two Y-axis supports 7 fixed on the frame 6 are the mounting carriers for the Y-axis guide rail 8 and the Y-axis lead screw 9. The guide rail 8 guides and limits the sliding of the Y-axis slider 10, ensuring that the Y-axis slider 10 moves smoothly along a straight line. The Y-axis lead screw 9, which is rotatably mounted on the Y-axis support 7, is threadedly connected to the Y-axis slider 10. When the Y-axis lead screw 9 rotates, it drives the Y-axis slider 10 to move along the guide rail 8 in the Y-axis direction through thread transmission, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the measuring mechanism in the Y-axis. An X-axis lead screw 11 is rotatably installed inside the Y-axis slider 10. Two guide rods 12 are fixedly installed inside the Y-axis slider 10. An X-axis slider 17 is slidably sleeved on the guide rods 12. The X-axis slider 17 is threaded onto the X-axis lead screw 11. The Y-axis slider 10 serves as the mounting base for the X-axis motion assembly. Inside, the X-axis lead screw 11 is rotatably mounted and threadedly connected to the X-axis slider 17. Meanwhile, two guide rods 12 are fixedly mounted and pass through the X-axis slider 17 to guide the sliding of the X-axis slider 17 and prevent deviation or shaking during movement. When the X-axis lead screw 11 rotates, it drives the X-axis slider 17 to move along the guide rods 12 in the X-axis direction through threaded transmission, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the measuring mechanism in the X-axis. Another guide rail 8 is fixedly installed inside the X-axis slider 17. The Z-axis slider 14 is slidably connected to the guide rail 8. The Z-axis lead screw 15 is rotatably installed on the X-axis slider 17. The Z-axis slider 14 is threaded onto the Z-axis lead screw 15. The guide rail 8 fixed inside the X-axis slider 17 provides sliding guidance for the Z-axis slider 14. The Z-axis lead screw 15 rotatably mounted on the X-axis slider 17 is threadedly connected to the Z-axis slider 14. When the Z-axis lead screw 15 rotates, it drives the Z-axis slider 14 to move along the guide rail 8 in the Z-axis direction, adjusting the height position of the rangefinder 13. The rangefinder 13 fixed on the Z-axis slider 14 is used to measure the dimensions of the workpiece 5. The data box 18 on the X-axis slider 17 is responsible for receiving and storing the measurement data transmitted by the rangefinder 13. A rangefinder 13 is fixedly mounted on the Z-axis slider 14, and a data box 18 is fixedly mounted on the X-axis slider 17. Stepper motors 16 are fixedly mounted on the Y-axis support 7, Y-axis slider 10, and X-axis slider 17. Y-axis lead screw 9, X-axis lead screw 11, and Z-axis lead screw 15 are fixedly mounted on the output shaft of stepper motor 16. The stepper motors 16 fixed on the Y-axis support 7, Y-axis slider 10, and X-axis slider 17 provide rotational power for the Y-axis lead screw 9, X-axis lead screw 11, and Z-axis lead screw 15, respectively. When the stepper motor 16 is working, its output shaft drives the corresponding lead screw to rotate. Through the threaded transmission between the lead screw and the slider, the rotational motion of the motor is converted into the linear motion of the slider, thereby realizing precise position adjustment in each axis direction. Working principle: First, the positioning hole of workpiece 5 is inserted into the positioning pin 4 on the worktable 1 to complete the benchmark positioning. The locking block 3 in the groove 2 is pushed to fit tightly against the outer wall of workpiece 5 and pressed and fixed. Then, the stepper motors 16 of each axis are started. The Y-axis lead screw 9 drives the Y-axis slider 10 to move along the guide rail 8 on the Y-axis. The X-axis lead screw 11 drives the X-axis slider 17 to move along the guide rod 12 on the X-axis. The Z-axis lead screw 15 drives the Z-axis slider 14 to move along the guide rail 8 on the Z-axis. The rangefinder 13 is adjusted to the position to be measured on workpiece 5. The rangefinder 13 measures workpiece 5 and the data is transmitted to the data box 18 for storage. After the measurement is completed, the lead screws are reversed to reset the mechanism. The locking block 3 is released and workpiece 5 is removed, completing one measurement cycle.
