The accuracy of data measurement directly affects the quality and progress of maintenance. At present, the main method for measuring the gap between the stator and rotor of a motor is to use a feeler gauge or a homemade measuring rod. The measuring tool currently used by the company is a homemade measuring rod, which is cut and polished with a bakelite stick and is measured with a flashlight and a vernier caliper. This method has large errors and is inconvenient to measure. Due to the structure of the motor, the feeler gauge does not have the conditions for measurement.

[0003] Since most motor air gap measurements can only be made from the air gap measurement hole of the motor end cover after the motor end cover is reinstalled, the hand cannot be inserted into the motor, and the measurement hole is small, it is inconvenient to use a feeler gauge or it cannot be used for measurement; homemade measuring rods can adapt to the motor structure for measurement, but homemade measuring rods are very arbitrary, there is no strict scale as a reference, the error is large, and the measurement data affects the result analysis. The processing and manufacturing process of the homemade measuring rod measuring head and the measurement method are greatly affected by human factors, and the measurement is also greatly affected by environmental factors.

[0004] The feeler gauge has a small measurement error, but due to the structural characteristics of the equipment, it is difficult to use it to measure the motor air gap; the homemade measuring rod has a large error, and it requires a variety of tools such as a flashlight and vernier caliper during measurement, and it is greatly affected by human factors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] The present invention provides an improved motor stator and rotor air gap measuring tool as Figures 1 to 3 shown, which includes a handheld measuring rod 1. The top of the handheld measuring rod 1 is fixedly installed with a lighting mechanism 2 through screws. The lighting mechanism 2 includes a mounting bracket 21, an LED small lamp 22, a threaded groove 23, a bolt 24, a switch 25 and a cavity 26. The mounting bracket 21 is installed on the top of the handheld measuring rod 1 through screws. An LED small lamp 22 is installed inside the mounting bracket 21. A cavity 26 is opened inside the mounting bracket 21. The link 41 passes through one end of the cavity 26 and exits from the other end. By opening the cavity 26 inside the mounting bracket 21, the link 41 can pass through the mounting bracket 21, so that the link 41 can be easily moved.

[0024] A switch 25 is installed at the tail of the LED small lamp 22, and an LED small lamp battery box 3 is arranged inside the handheld measuring rod 1. A button battery is installed inside the LED small lamp battery box 3. A switch 25 is installed at the tail of the LED small lamp 22. The button battery is electrically connected to the LED small lamp 22 through the switch 25. The LED small lamp 22 can be powered by the button battery, and the LED small lamp 22 can be controlled to be powered by the switch 25. A threaded groove 23 is provided on the top surface of the mounting frame 21. The internal thread of the threaded groove 23 is connected with a bolt 24. The bottom end of the bolt 24 conflicts with the side wall of the LED small lamp 22. The LED small lamp 22 is limited by the bolt 24, so that the LED small lamp 22 can be fixed on the mounting frame 21.

[0025] The end of the handheld measuring rod 1 is fixedly connected with a tapered ruler measuring mechanism 5, the tail of the handheld measuring rod 1 is installed with a ruler body 6, the side wall of the ruler body 6 is provided with a scale line 7, the side wall of the ruler body 6 is slidably connected with a vernier ruler 8, and the tapered ruler measuring mechanism 5 is transmission-connected with an inner measuring claw 9 of the vernier ruler 8 through a linkage mechanism 4;

[0026] The linkage mechanism 4 includes a connecting rod 41, a rotating wheel 42 and a movable groove 43. The movable groove 43 is opened inside the conical ruler measuring mechanism 5. The rotating wheel 42 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 43. The rotating wheel 42 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 41 through a pin, and the other end of the connecting rod 41 is installed with the inner measuring claw 9 of the vernier ruler 8 through a pin.

[0027] The conical ruler measuring mechanism 5 includes a conical ruler vernier 51, a conical ruler measuring head 52, a slider 53, and a conical ruler vernier sliding groove 54. The end of the handheld measuring rod 1 is fixedly connected to the conical ruler measuring head 52, and the conical ruler vernier 51 is slidably connected to the inclined surface of the conical ruler measuring head 52. The side wall of the conical ruler vernier 51 is provided with a movable groove 43. By providing the movable groove 43 on the side wall of the conical ruler vernier 51, the conical ruler vernier 51 can make the internal pulley of the movable groove 43 slide during the sliding process, and can also push the connecting rod 41 to move from the end of the handheld measuring rod 1 to the tail, so that the vernier ruler 8 can slide on the ruler body 6, so as to obtain a reading.

[0028] A slider 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the conical scale vernier 51, and a conical scale vernier sliding groove 54 is opened below the inclined surface of the conical scale measuring head 52. The interior of the conical scale vernier sliding groove 54 is slidably connected to the slider 53. By sliding the slider 53 in the conical scale vernier sliding groove 54, the conical scale vernier 51 can slide on the inclined surface of the conical scale measuring head 52 along the direction of the conical scale vernier sliding groove 54.

[0029] During specific use, insert the handheld measuring rod 1 into the motor through the measuring hole reserved on the motor end cover. Turn on the switch 25 to power the LED small lamp 22 with a button battery, so that the LED small lamp 22 serves as measuring illumination. Insert the conical ruler measuring head 52 into the stator-rotor air gap. When inserting, the conical ruler vernier 51 abuts against the stator or rotor core, and the conical ruler measuring head 52 is pushed into the air gap. Under the action of the movable slot 43, a relative displacement is generated with the vernier, and at the same time, the linkage mechanism 4 moves together to drive the digital display vernier scale 8 at the end of the handheld measuring rod 1 to move synchronously until it can no longer be pushed into the air gap. This indicates that the thickness of the conical ruler measuring head 52 at this position is the air gap value, and the distance that the digital display vernier scale 8 moves also generates a reading. At this time, both the scale where the conical ruler vernier 51 is located and the reading of the digital display vernier caliper are the air gap values, and the two values are equivalent, both being the final measurement values.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
