Table top type machining center tubular tool magazine and automatic tool changer
Technical field
The present invention relates to the automatic tool tool changing device of Table top type machining center, comprise tool magazine and tool setting device.
Background technology
The tool magazine mode of existing machining center is divided into orthoscopic, disc type, chain type or box.Adopt the automatic tool changer of these modes usually to have independent motor, electric machine rotation tool magazine finds correct cutter, changes together with handle of a knife when tool changing, causes to employ a large amount of handle of a knifes and add cost.Existing tool magazine is generally fixed on top or the side of main spindle box, and therefore the main spindle box of machine must be designed to structure or the employing planer-type that can bear enough weight and anti-jitter, adds weight and the cost of machine in the case.Because tool magazine does not have protective device in atmosphere exposed, be easily subject to processing the iron filings of the splashing in process or the invasion and attack of other foreign material, clamping precision when affecting tool changing even damages machine.The length of cutter and diameter just no longer detect once input in a program, cause during tool wear and cannot carry out real-time cutter compensation, affect machining accuracy.
Summary of the invention
The limitation that this Table top type machining center tubular tool magazine and automatic tool changer are limited to locus for Table top type machining center cannot be fixed on above main spindle box or side and be designed to cylindrical shape, is fixed on the right side of machining center desktop.Tool changing tool during in order to save space and cost each tool changing, not tool changing handle.When needs tool changing, cylindrical cover is opened, pulling-out of cutter tool setting carry out real-time cutter compensation on tool setting device, and after cutter leaves tool magazine, lid closes automatically.This structure does not need the position outside occupying volume, does not need extra support, by lid closed effectively solve be positioned at side tool magazine between processing period by problem that iron filings and cooling fluid pollute.
The technical scheme of this tubular tool magazine formula automatic tool changer is: device is made up of the base and rotatable lid laying cutter, is all black, and base is fixed by the T-slot of support and machining center desktop.Rotatable lid is arranged on the centre of base, is closed up by a step motor control or is opened, and when opening, lid revolves the tool magazine that turnback exposes the inside at every turn.Tool magazine can deposit 8 cuttves, and shank diameter is from 1mm to 6mm, and cutter numbering from left to right becomes 1 to No. 8 from top to bottom.Shank diameter also can need to select voluntarily according to workpiece, now only need indicate shank diameter and the title of corresponding numbering in the program of host computer numerical control software.The number of cutter also can increase as required in right amount, and now the diameter of cylinder needs corresponding increase, is arranged in tool magazine so that all cutters can be orderly.When getting cutter for the first time, milling machine head moves to according to program setting and specifies above cutter, then is moved down into handle of a knife and enters sleeve completely, and the pneumatic means then on milling machine head tightens up tightly to be clamped cutter, completes exchanging knives process.Must first milling head after using cutter to put back to assigned address just can be gone to take off a cutter when tool changing tool.Tool setting device is positioned in the middle of tool magazine, is convenient to tool setting nearby after pulling-out of cutter.Tool setting device is made up of a digit order number measurement sensor.The very sensitive height change that can measure within the scope of 0.001mm of this sensor.When cutter arrives at sensor, force acting on transducer retreats, and the distance of retrogressing is transferred to the main control unit of host computer, thus the length calculating this cutter carries out real-time cutter compensation.
The present invention is novel in design; structure is simple; the tool magazine solving Table top type machining center is subject to locus affects the problem that cannot be arranged on above main spindle box; the tubular tool magazine of its uniqueness owing to controlled opening and closing can protect tool magazine on the right side of the work in-process heart by the pollution of iron filings and cooling fluid, and has saved production cost owing to not needing to change handle of a knife during tool changing.Simultaneously tool magazine with the tool setting function length feedback that can measure rapidly cutter at short notice carry out real-time cutter compensation to the Main Processor Unit of host computer.The present invention, without the need to extra mechanical part, is easy to manufacture, safe and reliable.

Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is further described.
The detailed description of the invention of this device: tool magazine is made up of the base 2 and rotatable lid 1 laying cutter, the wide T-slot for 12mm that tool magazine utilizes machining center desktop to carry is fixed on the right side of machining center desktop 8 by nut.Stepper motor 3 in tool magazine and digital displacement sensor 5 are connected with host computer and computer 9 and are subject to the control of computer mileage control software program.Stepper motor 3 adopts 56 formulas, and the ring flange of this motor is 56x56mm, height 77mm, and input current is 3A, and stepping angle is 1.8 degree, rotating speed 15 revs/min, provides the moment of torsion of 1Nm to control the unlatching 6 and closed 7 of cylindrical cover 1.Stepper motor 3, by the keyway of the 4x10mm on axle and being connected of lid 1, ensures that lid 1 is synchronized with the movement when motor rotates.8 cutter tool magazines 4 are arranged on base 2 in two separate ranks side by side.Digital displacement sensor 5 is made up of differential transformer and Electrical Measuring Instrument.Differential transformer is the sensor tested displacement change of variable being become the signal of telecommunication, can be directly used in the Relative Displacement measured between object, the length variations of object.During measurement clamping for differential transformer housing in the middle of tool magazine, the measuring staff be connected with iron core is fastened on as on the disk of measured point, just drive when disk is subject to the extrusion and displacement of cutter iron core to move relative to coil, thus change the output voltage of differential transformer linearly.Measured the size of differential transformer output voltage like this by Electrical Measuring Instrument, can measure cutter displacement and the length of cutter pass data signal back to host computer 9.Digital displacement sensor 5 is connected with host computer 9 by RS232 interface.
