Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coating thickness measurement technology, specifically to the application of a coating thickness gauge and sensor. Background Technology

[0002] A coating thickness gauge, also known as a film thickness gauge, plating thickness gauge, or paint film thickness gauge, is a professional device for non-destructive testing of the thickness of coatings on metal substrates. It is widely used as a precision testing tool in industrial and scientific research fields. This device can efficiently measure coating thickness to determine whether it meets requirements and offers good convenience. However, traditional coating thickness gauges still have shortcomings. First, traditional coating thickness gauges typically only have one display screen to show data, limiting their applicability. Furthermore, most commercially available displays are small and thin, resulting in poor data observation and increased susceptibility to breakage. Second, with frequent use, the spring components in traditional coating thickness gauges wear out quickly, significantly reducing the instrument's lifespan. Third, traditional coating thickness gauges usually use a switch as a signal triggering device during measurement, but these switches often have short lifespans and low triggering accuracy, affecting measurement accuracy and user experience. Therefore, designing a coating thickness gauge and sensor application is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In step two above, the spring and trigger components are installed in their designed positions.

[0013] In step three above, an instrument is used to measure the coating to be tested.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, in step one, the first transparent lens and the top display screen are mounted on the first display screen mounting bracket and installed in the front shell through the second mounting hole. At the same time, the second transparent lens and the front display screen are mounted on the second display screen mounting bracket and installed in the front shell and the bottom shell through the first mounting hole. The top display screen is 1.3 inches in size, the first transparent lens is 3.0 mm thick, the front display screen is 2.0 inches in size, and the second transparent lens is 2.0 mm thick. The three batteries are combined and assembled into a battery pack, which is then fastened to the battery electrode and the battery base.
