The applicant first explains here that throughout the specification, including the following embodiments and claims in the scope of the patent application, the terms related to directionality are based on the directions in the drawings. Secondly, in the following embodiments and drawings, the same element numbers represent the same or similar elements or their structural features.

Please refer to FIG. 1. The processing machine 10 of this invention is used to process a striking surface 62 of a golf club head 60, which includes a jig 20, a spindle unit 30, a tool changer unit 40, and a rangefinder 50. , A controller 52, and a tool 54.

The jig 20 is used for fixing the golf club head 60 with the striking surface 62 facing upward. The jig 20 is installed on a work platform 22 that can move horizontally and can adjust the horizontal angle (this is a conventional technology and not the focus of this case, and its operation principle will not be repeated here), so that the jig 20 will be synchronized with the work platform 22 Act.

The spindle unit 30 is arranged above the jig 20. The main shaft unit 30 has a main shaft base 32 that can be raised and lowered, a main shaft motor 36 installed in the main shaft base, and a main shaft 34 connected to the main shaft motor 36. The main shaft 34 can be driven by the main shaft motor 36 to rotate.

The tool change unit 40 has a box 42, a tool change shaft 44 and a tool change arm 46. The box 42 is adjacent to the main shaft base 32, the tool change shaft 44 is provided on the box 42, and the axial direction of the tool change shaft 44 is parallel to the axial direction of the main shaft 34. The tool change arm 46 is pivoted on the box 42 and located between the main shaft 34 and the main shaft 34. Between the tool change shaft 44.

The rangefinder 50 is a probe type rangefinder in this embodiment, but in practice, a laser rangefinder can also be used. The rangefinder 50 can be driven by the tool change arm 46 to be mounted on the spindle 34 or the tool change axis. When the rangefinder 50 is mounted on the spindle 34, the four striking surfaces 62 can be measured by the lowering of the spindle base 32. The distance between different positions (as shown in FIG. 5, the arrow in FIG. 5 indicates the position measured by the rangefinder 50) and the main axis 34, and the corresponding distance data is generated. It should be supplemented here that since three points form a surface, the rangefinder 50 actually only needs to measure at least three different positions, but measuring four different positions will obtain better accuracy.

As shown in FIG. 6, the controller 52 is electrically connected to the rangefinder 50 to receive the distance data generated by the rangefinder 50, and adjust the level of the jig 20 through the working platform 22 according to the aforementioned distance data. The striking surface 62 realizes the effect of automatically correcting the level. In addition, the controller 52 is further electrically connected to the spindle motor 36 so that the controller 52 can control the spindle motor 36 to start, and then the spindle motor 36 drives the spindle 34 to rotate.

The tool 54 (here, a milling cutter is taken as an example) can be driven by the tool change arm 46 to be mounted on the spindle 34 or the tool change shaft 44. When the tool 54 is mounted on the spindle 34, the spindle base 32 can be lowered to The striking surface 62 is milled.

In actual operation, first install the rangefinder 50 and the tool 54 on the main shaft 34 and the tool change shaft 44 respectively, and fix the golf club head 60 on the jig 20 with the striking surface 62 facing upwards, and then work The horizontal movement of the platform 22 causes the striking surface 62 to move horizontally in four different positions relative to the rangefinder 50. For each position moved, the rangefinder 50 will adjust the distance between the striking surface 62 and the spindle 34 by the lowering of the spindle base 32 Take a measurement. After the four different positions have been measured, the spindle base 32 will drive the rangefinder 50 to rise. After it rises to the position, the rangefinder 50 sends the distance data of the four different positions to the controller 52 for analysis and processing. On the one hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the working platform 22 will drive the jig 20 together with the golf club head 60 to move to the right and leave below the main shaft 34. After the working platform 22 reaches its position, the working platform 22 will be further controlled by the controller 52. The level of the jig 20 is adjusted by control, so that the golf club head 60 fixed on the jig 20 is adjusted accordingly to realize the automatic correction level of the striking surface 62. As shown in FIG. 3, after the automatic leveling of the striking surface 62 is completed, the tool changer arm 46 will drive the distance meter 50 and the tool 54 to exchange positions, so that the tool 54 and the distance meter 50 are installed on the spindle 34 and the tool changer respectively. The shaft 44, and then the controller 52 controls the spindle motor 36 to start, so that the spindle 34 drives the tool 54 to rotate under the drive of the spindle motor 36. At this time, the spindle seat 32 will drive the tool 54 to drop to a certain height and match the level of the work platform 22 Move, as shown in Fig. 4, the cutter 54 can mill the striking surface 62.

In summary, the processing machine 10 of this creation can effectively improve the flatness problem of traditional jigs, and can automatically correct the level of the striking surface 62, so that the thickness and flatness of the striking surface 62 can be precisely controlled, so that the processing efficiency and processing Accuracy can be improved, which greatly increases production capacity.
