The invention discloses a measuring apparatus and a measuring method of a
station platform gauge. The apparatus comprises a vehicle body, a measuring mechanism and a control module, the vehicle body comprises a
vehicle frame, a fixed wheel group adjusting wheel mechanism and a walking driving mechanism, the measuring mechanism comprises a box body, a
laser range finding sensor and a
laser drivingmodule, and the control module comprises a walking control module, a
laser control module and a handheld control terminal. The measuring method includes: step 1, extension of an adjusting wheel
assembly; step 2, walking of the measuring apparatus of the
station platform gauge; step 3, measurement of the
station platform gauge; step 4, repetition of step 2 and step 3 until completion of the measurement of the whole platform gauge; and step 5, contraction of the adjusting wheel
assembly. According to the measuring apparatus and the measuring method, the design is reasonable, the operation is simple, the usage effect is good, the station platform gauge is automatically measured, non-contact measurement is realized, the measuring efficiency is high, the manpower and
material resources are reduced, the size is small, the cost is low, and the practicality is high.
