Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to a measuring instrument, in particular to a vernier caliper for measuring tall products. Background Art
[0002] A vernier caliper is a measuring tool for measuring length, inner and outer diameters, and depth. The vernier caliper consists of a main scale and a slidable vernier attached to the main scale. The upper and lower ends of the main scale and the vernier are respectively provided with symmetrical upper jaws (inner measuring jaws) and lower jaws (outer measuring jaws). Generally, the upper jaws are used to measure the inner diameter, and the lower jaws are used to measure the outer diameter. The height of the lower jaws of a traditional vernier caliper is fixed. For tall products, the lower jaws cannot clamp the two ends of the product to be measured and cannot measure the product size. In order to solve this problem, those skilled in the art have developed a vernier caliper with replaceable lower jaws, such as the invention patent technology of a vernier caliper disclosed by the China Patent Office on April 3, 2013, with publication number CN103017624A, which is named as a vernier caliper, which includes a main scale, a depth scale, a vernier, an inner measuring jaw and an outer measuring jaw. The length of the two measuring jaws is 30% to 60% of the length of the main scale, and the two measuring jaws are detachably connected to the main scale.
[0003] The above solution increases the length of the two measuring claws, so that the caliper can measure the workpiece size that the conventional vernier caliper cannot measure. However, the vernier caliper of the above structure also has the following defects:
[0004] 1) It is necessary to prepare measuring claws of various lengths and specifications, and the machining precision of the measuring claws is high, resulting in relatively high costs;
[0005] 2) The measuring claws are detachably connected (threaded or pinned) to the main scale and the vernier. The steps for replacing the measuring claws each time are cumbersome, and the wear of the connecting parts after multiple disassembly and assembly will affect the measurement accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model aims to provide a vernier caliper for measuring tall and large products. Slide blocks and extension rods are arranged on two lower measuring jaws. By adjusting the lengths of the two extension rods, the lengths of the lower measuring jaws are extended in disguise, so as to facilitate the measurement of the outer diameter of the tall and large products.
[0007] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0008] That is, a vernier caliper for measuring tall products, including a main scale and a vernier. The lower ends of the main scale and the vernier are provided with symmetrical lower measuring jaws. The characteristic is that a hollow slider is mounted on the two lower measuring jaws, the inner end of the slider is provided with a slider fastening bolt, the outer side of the slider is provided with a vertical extension rod hole, the extension rod is provided in the extension rod hole, and the outer end of the slider is provided with an extension rod fastening bolt.
[0009] The slider of the utility model is preferably arranged in the middle of the lower measuring jaw without changing the original structure of the lower end of the lower measuring jaw. After the slider and the extension rod are removed, the lower measuring jaw can still be used normally, that is, it can still be used as an ordinary vernier caliper after the slider and the extension rod are removed.
[0010] The extension rod of the utility model can adopt a straight rod structure. In this case, the distance between the two extension rods cannot be equal to the distance between the two lower measuring claws. The value on the main ruler cannot be read directly, and the distance between the two extension rods and the lower measuring claws on the side where they are located needs to be added.
[0011] In order to solve the above problems, further, the extension rod of the utility model has a three-section structure, including a vertical upper section, a horizontal middle section and a vertical lower section, and the inner side of the lower section is flush with the inner side of the lower measuring claw on the same side.
[0012] With the above arrangement, the inner side of the lower section of the extension rod is flush with the inner side of the lower measuring claw on the same side. The distance between the lower sections of the two extension rods is the distance between the two lower measuring claws, and the value on the main ruler can be directly read.
[0013] The vernier caliper of the above structure can still be used as an ordinary vernier caliper after the slider and the extension rod are removed.
[0014] Furthermore, a groove is concavely provided on the inner side of the middle part of the two lower measuring claws of the utility model, and the slider fastening bolt is completely located in the groove.
[0015] The slider fastening bolt is completely located in the groove and does not affect the alignment of the two lower measuring jaws. Through the above arrangement, it can still be used as an ordinary vernier caliper without removing the slider and the extension rod.
[0016] Furthermore, a bubble level is provided on the cursor of the utility model.
[0017] The utility model can not only measure the outer diameter of tall products, but also measure the projection size of the inclined surface / beveled edge of tall products (the two extension rods have different lengths). When measuring the projection size of the inclined surface / beveled edge, the vernier caliper needs to be kept in a horizontal state. With the help of a bubble level, the vernier caliper can be kept in a horizontal state more conveniently.
[0018] The utility model discloses a bubble level, also known as a cylindrical level bubble or a balanced level bubble, and is a mature commercial product in the prior art.
[0019] The utility model has the advantages of reasonable structure, low cost, convenient use and wide application range.
[0020] 1) No need to prepare multiple sets of lower measuring jaws, only two sets of sliders and extension rods are needed. The machining accuracy requirements of the sliders and extension rods are low, which reduces the cost;
[0021] 2) The slider is installed on the lower measuring claw, which is a non-destructive installation and does not affect the original function of the lower measuring claw;
[0022] 3) The utility model can adjust the length of two extension rods, is easy to operate, and can conveniently and quickly measure the outer diameter and the projection size of the bevel / bevel of tall products, and has a wide range of applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
