Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a turning tool monitoring apparatus,

The present invention relates to a turning tool monitoring apparatus, and more particularly, to a turning tool gauge and a device capable of observing the wear state and a system including the same.

Vertical Boring Machine is a boring machine with vertical axis or spindle. Vertical Boring Machine is widely used as turning machine (hereinafter referred to as "VBM"). The VBM has a structure in which a rotating plate is provided to rotate a cutting target and a turning tool is fixed to cut and polish a rotating object. The turning tool is provided with a tip that directly contacts the cutting object. The tip is a part that directly cuts the object and is made of a material stronger than the object but belongs to a consumable part requiring replacement after a certain period of time.

For the cutting process according to the VBM, the worker sets the pre-start point and measures the gauge. To do this, the worker was able to start work only after the gauge between the object and the tip was visually confirmed in the field. In addition, during the cutting process, the operator was forced to place in the operating room away from the object to be cut.

As described above, there has been a problem in that it is inconvenient for a worker to directly access a setup gauge of a turning tool before activating the VBM, and there is a safety problem. In other words, the turning tool set-up position in which the operator directly checks the dimension is distant from the operating room in which the turning tool is actually controlled, so that there is a problem that the operator requires unnecessary circulation and time for setting the origin. In particular, when the object to be cut is large, a safety accident may occur in the process of directly measuring the gauge by going into the inside of the worker.

In addition, the VBM needs to determine the precise replacement cycle by observing the abrasion state of the tip in real time while operating the VBM. Such a replacement cycle differs depending on the material and type of the tip. Conventionally, It is difficult to change the timing at the correct timing, which leads to a deterioration in the quality of the produced product.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to shorten the turning-tool setup time and ensure safety by omitting a process of manually confirming a setup gauge of an object to be cut .

It is also an object of the present invention to observe the turning tool in real time to grasp the precise period of replacement of the tip abutting the object to be cut, thereby increasing the quality of the final product.

The turning tool monitoring apparatus of the present invention includes a body portion attached to one side of a turning tool so as to be close to a cutting target body, a position fixing portion connected to one side of the body portion and a genital position fixing portion, And a camera unit for photographing a portion of the camera body contacting the camera body.

In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the body part is detachably attached to one side of the turning tool.

The camera unit may further include a battery unit for supplying power to the camera unit, the battery unit being coupled to the body unit and having one surface to be in contact with the magnetic unit.

And a lighting unit coupled to the camera unit, the lighting unit facing a portion of the turning tool contacting the cutting target.

The illumination unit may include an LED, and the LED may be provided on one side of the camera unit.

And a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting image information photographed by the camera unit in real time.

In addition, the transmitting unit is included in the camera unit.

The position fixing unit includes a horizontally long stick, and a fixed unit fixed at a predetermined position while moving along the longitudinal direction of the stick and supporting the camera unit.

The turning tool monitoring system according to the present invention includes a body portion attached to one side of a turning tool so as to be close to a cutting target body, a position fixing portion connected to one side of the body portion, And a monitor unit for remotely real-time-reproducing the image information transmitted from the transmission unit. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
