[0012] like Figures 1 to 3 The device shown is for detecting the height of various sections of the inner wall of the aero-engine flame tube 2. One end of the flame tube 2 is open, while the other end transitions to a flat surface with a rounded corner and a circular hole. The inner wall of the flame tube 2, with its gradual transition, has annular steps spaced vertically. It includes a measuring block 10, an adapter 7, a base 3, and a digital height gauge 6. A sliding digital display block 8 is mounted on the height gauge 6. The measuring block 10 can be placed on any of the annular steps. The length of the measuring block 10 is taken between the maximum and minimum dimensions of the annular platform of the flame tube 2, ensuring that it can be placed or supported on the measured annular step. A positioning pin 4 is provided in the central area of ​​the base 3. The positioning pin 4 passes through a round hole to limit or fix the flame tube 2. A dial indicator pin 5 is sleeved on the positioning pin 4, and the top of the dial indicator pin 5 is positioned below the lowest vertical annular step. The height gauge 6 is placed near the base 3. One side of the digital display block 8 is connected to one end of the adapter 7. The other end of the adapter 7 is fitted with a measuring head 9 by screws. Generally, the non-open end of the flame tube 2 has a complex structure, which affects the detection accuracy. The dial indicator pin 5 is used to adjust the measuring head 9 at the measuring reference of the height gauge 6. For example, a 50mm or 100mm dial indicator pin 5 is selected to measure the annular step with a height of 50mm or 100mm as the reference, which facilitates the observation and reading of the height gauge 6.

[0013] During measurement, the measuring block 10 is placed on the annular step with the lowest vertical height. The bottom surface of the measuring head 9 is placed on the top surface of the measuring block 10 to complete the height measurement of the annular step with the lowest vertical height. The height measurement of the annular step is completed in a cyclical manner.

[0014] In one specific embodiment, handles 1 are respectively provided at both ends of the base 3 along its length. The angle between the tilt angle of the handle 1 and the center line of the base 3 is an acute angle, which facilitates the operation and movement of the base 3. Preferably, the measuring head 9 is provided with a gradient structure, and the large end contacts the top surface of the measuring block 10, which improves the stability and accuracy of the measurement.

[0015] In one specific embodiment, the end of the adapter 7 away from the base 3 is connected to one side of the digital display block 8 in a horizontally adjustable manner. Specifically, it includes a frame with a rotatable fastening screw at the top. The side of the digital display block 8 is connected to one end of a Z-shaped rod. The other end of the Z-shaped rod is placed in the frame and passed through by the fastening screw. The adapter 7 is configured with an L-shaped structure. One end passes through the frame and rotating the fastening screw can fasten the L-shaped rod. Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the length of the L-shaped rod horizontally, the fastening screw is rotated in the opposite direction. After the L-shaped rod is adjusted horizontally, the fastening screw is rotated in the forward direction to fasten the L-shaped rod.

[0016] Furthermore, a groove is provided in the central area of ​​the base 3, and a positioning pin 4 is provided at the bottom end of the groove. The shape of the groove is adapted to the shape of the length of the bottom part of the flame tube 2, so as to support the flame tube 2 in a contact manner. Preferably, it also includes a controller, and the digital display block 8 is provided with an intelligent reading device and a trigger switch. The operator can press the trigger switch to drive the intelligent reading device to read the reading on the height gauge 6 and feed it back to the controller; the controller can obtain the height value of the measuring block 10 in advance; The controller runs intelligent software that outputs the current height value of the circular step according to preset rules. For example, the actual measured value of each circular step is minus the height values ​​of measuring block 10, base, etc.

[0017] How to use: The testing process is conducted on a calibrated testing platform. The part to be tested is fixed to the base using locating pins, and the dial indicator pin is inserted into the locating pin hole. The height of the measuring head of the digital display testing device is adjusted to the upper end face of the dial indicator pin, and the testing device is zeroed. The measuring block is placed on the first end face to be tested, the measuring head is adjusted to the plane of the measuring block, and the data displayed on the testing device is read. This process is repeated until the height dimension data of the inner wall of the flame tube is measured. The dial indicator pin is inserted into the positioning pin hole through the flame tube, and its lower end face is in contact with the upper end face of the flame tube head hole to ensure that the actual measurement zero point is the same as the zero point on the drawing. The parallelism of its upper end face relative to the base is no more than 0.01, which effectively controls the zeroing error. The measuring block facilitates the detection of the height of each section. Since the part is a thin-walled part, it is not easy for the measuring head to contact the thin-walled end face of the part to be measured during the test. By overlapping the measuring block, the measuring head can directly contact the plane of the measuring block and read the test data. The digital height gauge of the detection device is the main measuring element, and it has functions such as data zeroing and data holding. The parallelism between its measuring head and the base is no greater than 0.02, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0018] The product provided by this invention has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this invention. The descriptions of the embodiments above are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the core ideas of this invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the invention without departing from the principles of the invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the invention claims.
