[0014] The detection method is implemented by the verification mechanism, and the verification method comprises the following steps in sequence;

[0015] S1. Confirm the type and working parameters of the micrometer. The calibration mechanism moves the fixed anvil positioning groove, the movable anvil positioning groove, the first vision module, and the second vision module to the initial positions according to the type and working parameters of the micrometer.

[0016] S2. Move the micrometer clamping device to the corresponding position, manually install the fixed anvil of the micrometer in the fixed anvil positioning groove, install the movable anvil of the micrometer in the movable anvil positioning groove, move the micrometer laterally to make the fixed anvil measuring surface contact with the lateral positioning block, install the middle part of the micrometer body on the lower pressure plate of the clamping device, and install the two sides of the micrometer body on the micrometer support plate. Press the micrometer body lightly so that the two sides of the micrometer body naturally contact with the upper edge of the micrometer support plate, tighten the first clamping locking bolt and the second clamping locking bolt, and connect the micrometer force measuring device to the differential cylinder motor through the flexible coupling;

[0022] The steps after step S7 are:

[0025] Compared with some previous verification schemes, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0026] In some previous calibration schemes, the micrometer clamping mechanism is to place the micrometer flat on the workbench and clamp it by directly pressing down the micrometer body with a pressure head. This cannot adapt well to micrometers of different shapes and is likely to cause deformation of the micrometer body, affecting the detection accuracy. The present invention uses a clamping mechanism that can move freely on the plane of the walking recess of the table, and can locate micrometers of different ranges and dimensions to the clamping position, which is very convenient and flexible. The mechanical structure of the clamping mechanism can adapt to micrometer bodies of any shape, and the micrometer body is in three-point contact on the clamping mechanism and the micrometer support plate, which can ensure that the micrometer body will not be deformed. The fastening bolts and electromagnets on the clamping mechanism turn the movable connection parts into rigid connections, ensuring that the position of the micrometer remains unchanged during detection, thereby ensuring detection accuracy.

[0027] In some previous calibration schemes, the micrometer detection standard uses physical blocks, which need to be arranged in size sequence on a block gauge box. When in use, two manipulators must be used to perform positioning, clamping, lifting and other control actions before finally transporting them to the detection position. The structure and control are relatively complex, the stability is poor, and the efficiency is also low. The present invention uses a manipulator in conjunction with a linear ruler and machine vision as a measurement benchmark, which greatly simplifies the complexity of the benchmark and improves the flexibility of the benchmark, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of benchmark use.

[0028] In some previous calibration schemes, an adaptive method is used during micrometer detection to allow the two measuring surfaces of the block gauge to automatically swing and rotate as the two measuring surfaces of the micrometer approach, so as to achieve reliable contact between the two measuring surfaces of the block gauge and the two measuring surfaces of the micrometer. However, due to the weight and center of gravity of the gauge block itself, it is impossible for it to be completely at the center of rotation or swing, and the measuring surface of the movable anvil of the micrometer rotates forward, etc., the two measuring surfaces of the block gauge cannot be reliably in contact with the two measuring surfaces of the micrometer, resulting in a large measurement error. The present invention uses multiple independent probes in conjunction with a linear scale and machine vision to measure multiple points on the two measuring surfaces of the micrometer, and calculates the reference length from the recognition results of the first visual module and the second visual module of the equipment. There is no measurement error caused by unreliable contact in the original case, and the measurement efficiency is greatly improved.

[0029] The solution described in the present invention has a simpler structure than the traditional solution, and the product size and weight are greatly reduced. The system achieves a significant improvement in performance with a small increase in overall cost. In comparison with the traditional solution, the detection time of the present invention can be reduced from the original 120-150 seconds to 15-30 seconds.

[0030] In the present invention, the clamping mechanism utilizes the universal ball bearing to move freely in the horizontal direction in the walking recess of the table surface. The rolling friction of the universal ball bearing makes the entire clamping mechanism very labor-saving and can be positioned to the clamping position of the micrometer very conveniently and quickly.

[0031] In the present invention, the guide column on the U-shaped mounting seat can enable the clamping mechanism to adapt to the positioning height difference caused by different micrometer body thicknesses. The spring on the guide column can make the micrometer body float on the spring. Only by gently pressing the micrometer body, the micrometer body can be lowered around the micrometer anvil and contact the micrometer support plate to determine the installation height of the micrometer body, thereby eliminating the need to use a special adjustment mechanism to adjust the position height of the micrometer body.

[0032] In the present invention, the laterally embedded cylindrical pin and the ball head provided on the head of the locking bolt enable the upper pressure plate and the lower pressure plate of the clamping mechanism to adapt to the inclination of the micrometer body caused by different micrometer body thicknesses, and can also cooperate with the key, keyway, first locking bolt, second locking bolt and electromagnet to form a rigid connection between the micrometer and the table to ensure measurement accuracy.

[0033] In the present invention, the table travel recess is made of magnetic metal, and a very small gap is retained between the electromagnet and the travel recess when not attracted, so that the electromagnet neither affects the free movement of the clamping mechanism nor produces a loud noise when attracted.

[0034] In the present invention, before the positioning mechanism is used, the positioning block is in a position longitudinally away from the fixed anvil and the movable anvil. During positioning, the positioning block is driven by the electric cylinder to extend to the positioning position, so that the fixed anvil and the movable anvil can be positioned in the longitudinal and vertical directions. The block on the right side of the fixed anvil positioning groove can position the horizontal position of the fixed anvil. After positioning is completed, the positioning block is driven by the electric cylinder to retract to the initial position, so that the positioning mechanism will not interfere with other motion mechanisms during calibration.

[0035] In the present invention, since some micrometers have a convex surface on the scale body near the differential cylinder, the scale body of the micrometer cannot be suspended horizontally on the upper edge of the micrometer support plate when clamped, resulting in a large tilt. For this type of micrometer, this situation can be avoided by removing the movable dovetail and then clamping.

[0036] As is known to all, when the mover of a linear motor moves in a straight line, there must be a certain error in the parallelism of its movement, which leads to reading errors in the visual system 1 (first visual module) and the visual system 2 (second visual module). Since the system uses a linear motor and a high-precision slide rail with good parallelism, and the visual system 2 reads the relative offset, and the stroke is extremely short, the relative offset reading error caused by the parallelism of the mover is extremely small and can be ignored; while the visual system 1 may produce a larger reading error. In the implementation of the present invention, the influence of the mover's parallelism error on the visual system 1 can be decomposed into the translation and rotation of the camera 1 (first camera) and the camera 2 (second camera) around a certain center in the three axes of X (horizontal), Y (longitudinal) and Z (vertical). Since the lens 1 (first camera lens) and the lens 2 (second camera lens) use telecentric lenses, no matter which direction the translation is, it will not cause an error in the reading of the visual system 1; but the rotation is different. The rotation of camera 1 about a certain center on the X-axis will not cause an error in the reading of visual system 1. The rotation about a certain center on the Z-axis will make the scale lines of linear scale 1 not parallel to the imaging center of camera 1 (intersecting with the scale lines of linear scale 1), causing difficulty in the reading of visual system 1. Although the rotation about a certain center on the Y-axis will not make the scale lines not parallel to the imaging center of visual system 1, it will make the reading of visual system 1 increase or decrease compared to the ideal value.

[0037] In the present invention, the axis of the measuring column is close to the micrometer measurement center line, avoiding the generation of Abbe error; the vertical connecting rod droops naturally, avoiding the warping deformation caused by other installation methods that are not parallel to the gravity line; the force spring simulates the function of the micrometer force measuring device, eliminating the screw thread gap while making the ball probe reliably contact with the movable anvil or the fixed anvil; through the different lengths of the vertical connecting rod, the adjustment ring and the horizontal connecting rod rotating a certain angle, the visual probe forms a vertical straight line distributed in the field of view of the lens 2, so that the visual system 2 can realize simultaneous measurement of multiple probes, greatly reducing the resolution requirements of the camera and the lens and reducing the size of the lens, thereby greatly reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0038] In the present invention, the fixed invariance of the high-precision engraved line position of the linear scale is utilized to compensate for the reading error caused by the parallelism of the mover movement, thereby greatly improving the measurement accuracy and reducing the manufacturing and processing accuracy requirements for the system mechanical structure.

[0039] In the present invention, the camera 3, the lens 3 (the third camera lens) and the visual combination light source (the third visual light source) are used by the manipulator 2 (the second manipulator) in cooperation with the image recognition of the camera 3 (the third camera) to realize automatic positioning of the differential cylinder and the fixed sleeve of the micrometer, thereby improving the intelligence level of the system.

The third embodiment has the characteristics of the simple hardware structure and software algorithm of the second embodiment, and does not use the high-precision grating scale reading, and maintains the low-cost linear scale reading method in the first embodiment. Therefore, the third embodiment is the best embodiment among the three embodiments.
