[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a novel internal clamping vernier caliper testing instrument, comprising a support base 1, a lower end pad 2 provided on the upper surface of the support base 1, a support frame 3 fixedly installed on the upper rear surface of the support base 1, caliper fixing components 6 provided on the left and right sides of the support frame 3, standard measuring blocks 7 provided inside and on the upper part of the support base 1, a plurality of fixing grooves 13 provided on the upper surface of the support base 1, the fixing grooves 13 being evenly distributed, and a hydraulic cylinder 14 installed on the upper surface of the middle rear side of the support base 1, the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 14... A movable plate 15 is connected to the top. A limit frame 16 is provided at the connection between the middle of the movable plate 15 and the support frame 3. A first plate 17 is provided at the top of the upper end of the movable plate 15. A second plate 18 is provided on the outer side of the first plate 17. A detection needle 20 is provided on the inner side of the middle of the first plate 17 and the second plate 18. The top of the upper end of the detection needle 20 is connected to the hardness tester 21. This can fix the position of the vernier caliper and detect the numerical accuracy and hardness of the vernier caliper. It is also convenient for operators and improves the applicability of the device.
[0041] like Figure 1 and 8 The upper left and right sides of the support frame 3 are symmetrically provided with a handle 4. The inner end face of the handle 4 is connected to a threaded rod 5. The threaded rod 5 is located inside the left and right sides of the support frame 3. By rotating the handle 4, the handle 4 can drive the threaded rod 5 to rotate, thereby driving the caliper fixing component 6 to move, and the position of the caliper fixing component 6 can be adjusted and fixed.
[0042] like Figure 7The caliper fixing assembly 6 includes a nut sleeve 61, a mounting bracket 62, a limiting plate 63, an inner column 64, a base plate 65, an upper end pad 66, and a guide rod 67. The mounting bracket 62 is provided on the outer surface of the nut sleeve 61, and the limiting plate 63 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting bracket 62. The inner column 64 is installed in the middle of the mounting bracket 62, and the bottom of the lower end of the inner column 64 is connected to the base plate 65. The upper end pad 66 is provided on the lower surface of the base plate 65, and the guide rod 67 is provided on the upper surfaces of the left and right sides of the base plate 65. Because of the use of the caliper fixing assembly 6, the positions of both ends of the vernier caliper can be fixed to avoid shaking during the inspection process.
[0043] like Figure 1 and 2 The limiting plate 63 and the mounting bracket 62 are connected to each other by fixing screws. The inner end of the limiting plate 63 is nested with the inner column 64. The inner column 64 and the mounting bracket 62 form a lifting structure. By using the limiting plate 63, the height of the inner column 64 can be fixed, and then the position of the base plate 65 can be fixed, thereby completing the fixation of the position of the vernier caliper.
[0044] like Figure 5 Several standard measuring blocks 7 are provided, each with a different length. Fixed blocks 71 are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the standard measuring blocks 7. By using the standard measuring blocks 7, the standard measuring blocks 7 can be replaced according to one's own needs, which is convenient for operators to perform multiple tests.
[0045] like Figure 4 The inner end of the fixing groove 13 is connected to the fixing buckle 11. The fixing buckle 11 is distributed on the surface of the connecting plate 10. The connecting plates 10 are connected by the connecting rod 12. The outermost connecting plate 10 is connected to the pull plate 8. An elastic pad 9 is provided between the outermost connecting plate 10 and the support base 1. Pulling or squeezing the pull plate 8 can drive the connecting plate 10 to slide, and then the fixing buckle 11 can slide, thereby completing the replacement of the standard measuring block 7.
[0046] like Figure 4 The connecting plate 10 and the fixing buckle 11 are integrated structures. The connecting plate 10 forms a sliding structure through the pull plate 8 and an elastic structure through the elastic pad 9. When the device is in use, the elastic pad 9 can squeeze the connecting plate 10, thereby causing the connecting plate 10 to drive the fixing buckle 11 to fix the position of the standard measuring block 7.
[0047] like Figure 3The movable plate 15 and the limiting frame 16 are connected in a nested manner. The movable plate 15 forms a lifting structure through the hydraulic cylinder 14. The upper movable plate 15 can be lifted and lowered by the use of the hydraulic cylinder 14, while the lifting and lowering direction of the movable plate 15 can be fixed by the use of the limiting frame 16.
[0048] like Figure 6 The first plate 17 and the second plate 18 are connected to each other by a connecting piece 19. The first plate 17 and the second plate 18 form a disassembly and installation structure by the connecting piece 19. The first plate 17 and the second plate 18 are fixed to the connecting piece 19 by fixing screws. Using the connecting piece 19, the first plate 17 and the second plate 18 can be separated, and then the hardness tester 21 can be disassembled and replaced.
[0049] When using it, first take out a standard measuring block 7, then... Figure 4 As shown, pull the right end of the pull plate 8 to the right, and then the pull plate 8 can drive the connected connecting plate 10 to move to the right. Then the connecting plate 10 drives the fixing buckle 11 to move to the right, so that the fixing buckle 11 and the fixing groove 13 are separated. Press the left end of the pull plate 8 to the right, and it can drive the connected connecting plate 10 to move to the right, so that the fixing buckle 11 and the fixing groove 13 are separated. Then the standard measuring block 7 can be placed on the upper surface of the support base 1, and the fixing block 71 is inserted into the inside of the fixing groove 13. Then, under the action of the elastic pad 9, the fixing buckle 11 is driven to move in the opposite direction, thereby completing the connection of the fixing block 71 and thus completing the fixing of the standard measuring block 7.
[0050] Next, connect and fix the vernier caliper to the device. Place the vernier caliper on the upper part of the lower pad 2, and make the inside of one end of the vernier caliper fit against the surface of the standard measuring block 7. Then, rotate the handle 4 according to the position of the vernier caliper. The handle 4 drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate, and the threaded rod 5 can drive the nut sleeve 61 to move left and right. Then, the mounting bracket 62 can be moved left and right. Then, by pressing the inner column 64 downward, the base plate 65 can be moved downward, so that the upper pad 66 can squeeze the two ends of the vernier caliper. And use the limiting plate 63 to fix the inner column 64, thereby fixing the base plate 65.
[0051] Next, slide the auxiliary scale of the vernier caliper to test the standard measuring block 7. When the measured value is the same as the value of the standard measuring block 7, it can be proved that the accuracy of the vernier caliper is qualified. By replacing the standard measuring block 7, different length values of the vernier caliper can be tested, thus completing the test of the vernier caliper.
[0052] Then, the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the movable plate 15 to move downward. The use of the limit frame 16 can fix the lifting direction of the movable plate 15. Then, the descent of the movable plate 15 drives the first plate 17 to move downward. The connecting piece 19 fixes the position of the second plate 18, which can fix the internal detection needle 20 and hardness tester 21. Then, the detection needle 20 contacts the vernier caliper to complete the measurement of the hardness of the vernier caliper, and the value is read by the hardness tester 21. The hardness tester 21 is model LX-A-1. This is the usage process of the new type of internal clamping vernier caliper. At the same time, the contents not described in detail in this specification are all existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
