The marble is in a U shape, the marble has the characteristics of not deforming, after long-term natural aging, the organization structure is uniform, the linear expansion coefficient is extremely small, the internal stress completely disappears, the interval and the angle between the two laser sensors 42 are prevented from changing due to temperature change, the moving mechanism 3 is used for driving the frame body 41 to move in the horizontal direction, the movement in the horizontal direction includes movement in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, the moving mechanism 3 includes a first sliding rail and a first motor, the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected with a first screw rod, the first screw rod is rotationally connected with the first sliding rail, a second sliding rail is threadedly connected to the first screw rod, a second motor is arranged on the second sliding rail, a second screw rod is drivingly connected to the second motor, the second screw rod is rotationally connected with the second sliding rail, the frame body 41 is slidingly connected to the second sliding rail and is threadedly connected with the second screw rod, the first motor drives the first screw rod to rotate, so that the second sliding rail moves on the first sliding rail in the Y-axis direction, the second motor drives the second screw rod to rotate through a transmission belt, so that the frame body 41 moves on the second sliding rail in the X-axis direction, a data processing module and a display module are arranged in the terminal, the laser sensors 42 measure the distance between the to-be-detected piece and send detection signals, the data processing module includes a model unit and a processing unit, the processing unit is a central processing unit, the processing unit calculates the thickness of the to-be-detected piece according to the detection signals and generates thickness data of each position, according to the thickness data, the profiles of the upper surface and the lower surface of the to-be-detected model can be formed, the model unit generates the to-be-detected model according to the thickness data and displays the to-be-detected model through the display module, in the process of calculating the to-be-detected model, the dead angle of the to-be-detected model is supplemented according to the dead angle value and is virtualized, the model of the to-be-detected piece is displayed on the computer terminal screen, which is convenient for detection personnel to more intuitively observe the model and saves modeling time. Before the laser sensors 42 work, the light needs to be adjusted, the two laser sensors 42 are respectively installed on a six-axis adjustable fine adjustment mechanism, so that the laser sensors 42 can be finely adjusted in six directions of up, down, left, right and front and back, the laser sensors 42 are fixed first, the laser is turned on, and a semi-transparent card is placed between the two lasers, the relative positions of the two laser lines can be observed, so that the two laser lines are parallel and coincide.

[0020] Referring to Figure 1As shown, the data processing module further comprises a correction unit, the correction unit is used for correcting the thickness data, preventing the thickness data from deviation, ensuring the accuracy of the thickness data, and making the to-be-detected model closer to the to-be-detected piece. The correction includes inclination correction and height correction, and the correction unit is pre-provided with a deviation angle and a deviation height. The inclination correction corrects the thickness data in the X-axis direction through the deviation angle, and the height correction corrects the thickness data in the Z-axis direction through the deviation height. Before measurement, the fixed plate with a calibrated thickness is measured first, the thickness of the fixed plate is set to 1mm, and the detected value is compensated when the thickness of the fixed plate is measured, so that the final thickness data is 1mm. According to the difference between the detected value and 1mm, the deviation angle and the deviation height are determined to compensate other thickness data.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the correction further includes run-out compensation, and the correction unit is pre-provided with a run-out bending value. The run-out compensation corrects the deviation of the thickness data caused by the deformation of the moving mechanism 3 through the run-out bending value. Before the run-out bending value is pre-set, the long flat crystal is measured by the laser sensor 42, and the flatness of the long flat crystal is 0.1um. However, the generated measurement curve will have very slight bending changes, which are mainly caused by the bending deformation of the moving mechanism 3. The run-out bending value is generated for the deformation to compensate the influence caused by the bending deformation of the moving mechanism 3.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the correction unit defines a measurement center according to the thickness data, and the measurement center is the midpoint of the detection position of the laser sensor 42 from the head to the tail. When the inclination correction is performed, the to-be-detected model formed by the current thickness data is rotated around the measurement center as the rotation center, and the to-be-detected model is adjusted to the right position. The range of the deviation angle is from negative 45 degrees to positive 45 degrees.

[0023] There is a difference between the pre-set angle and the deviation angle. After rotating a pre-set angle, the other rotation angle is one-half of the difference, which reduces the correction error. After rotating one-half of the difference, the rotation angle can be continued to be one-quarter of the difference. Each rotation is one-half of the previous rotation angle, so that the total rotation angle is infinitely close to a deviation angle.

[0024] The processing unit converts the detection signal into detection data, and the detection data includes invalid values, dead angle values and valid values. The processing unit calculates the thickness data according to the valid values, the invalid values represent the data that cannot be measured due to insufficient light, and the dead angle values represent the data that cannot be measured due to the shadow of the to-be-detected piece. The dead angle values and the invalid values are distinguished to prevent the dead angle values and the invalid values from affecting the valid values, and the dead angle values can be virtualized.

[0025] The temperature detection module is arranged on the frame body 41 and is used for detecting the temperature of the frame body 41 in real time. A temperature compensation table is prearranged in the correction unit. The temperature compensation table is prearranged with temperature values and compensation data corresponding to the temperature data. The correction unit takes the current temperature as an index and executes the compensation data under the corresponding temperature value. Due to the change of temperature and thermal expansion and contraction, the first slide rail and the second slide rail in the moving mechanism 3 will be deformed, and the marble may be slightly deformed. Through the detection of the temperature, different compensation data are executed at different temperatures to compensate the thickness data, so that the result is more accurate. The current environmental temperature can be known through the temperature detection module, so that the environmental temperature is controlled to be between 20 degrees and 21 degrees.

[0026] Working principle: the to-be-detected piece is placed on the support 2, the laser sensor 42 is started, the first motor drives the first screw rod to rotate, the second slide rail moves on the first slide rail in the Y-axis direction, the second motor drives the second screw rod to rotate through the transmission belt, the frame body 41 moves on the second slide rail in the X-axis direction, and the laser sensor 42 moves with the frame body 41 to detect the thickness of the to-be-detected piece.

[0027] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any technical scheme falling within the idea of the present application belongs to the protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that, for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and decorations without departing from the principle of the present application are also considered as the protection scope of the present application.
