Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of concave and convex spherical profile measurement, and particularly relates to a device for measuring concave-convex spherical profile. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bridge spherical support is an important structure force transmission device in highway and railway bridge, which rotates through the small hemispherical spherical crown lining plate assembly to adapt to the displacement and rotation of the bridge caused by live load, wind load, concrete shrinkage and other factors. Whether the rotation performance of the spherical support meets the design is the core parameter for the long-term stability of the bridge structure, and the spherical profile of the spherical crown lining plate assembly is a key technical index affecting whether the rotation capacity of the spherical support can be kept in a reasonable range for a long time. Therefore, the detection of the spherical profile of the spherical crown lining plate is very important for the spherical support product.
[0003] There are two schemes in the prior art for measuring the spherical profile, as follows:
[0004] Direct measurement of the profile template: the common measurement means in the factory is to directly place the curvature template on the surface of the spherical crown, and measure by using a caliper. This method is contrary to the definition of profile, and when the radius of the template does not match the radius of the spherical crown workpiece, the measurement result is only the processing tolerance of the workpiece, not the shape tolerance (equivalent to evaluating whether the two balls of different sizes are round enough). This method has no theoretical support.
[0005] Three-coordinate measuring machine measurement: the most accurate measurement means at present, which can evaluate the processing tolerance and shape tolerance of the workpiece at the same time, that is, the size of the spherical crown workpiece is first measured, and then the spherical profile is measured based on the size. The weight of each spherical crown workpiece is about 40 kg, so the biggest problem of this method is poor measurement efficiency. When large-scale measurement of the spherical profile of the spherical crown lining plate is performed, it is difficult to move each workpiece to the three-coordinate measuring machine. This method is more suitable for spot check detection, and is not suitable for large-scale detection, so there is a certain conflict between this method and the requirement of each spherical crown detection in the relevant standard.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new device for measuring the concave-convex spherical profile to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0012] Preferably, a second fixing bolt is fixedly mounted on the two half-sphere blocks on the same ball head.
[0013] Preferably, an anti-skid pad is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support base.
[0014] Preferably, when the device for measuring the concave-convex spherical surface profile is used to measure the concave-convex spherical surface profile, the following steps are included:
[0015] S: The device for measuring the concave-convex spherical surface profile is placed on the surface of the measured spherical crown, the center of the support base is as close to the center of the workpiece as possible, and the plurality of micrometers are mounted on the mounting plate.
[0016] S: The micrometers are zeroed after being perpendicular to the surface.

[0018] S: According to the properties of the surface profile, the average value of the plurality of collected data is calculated, and the data with the largest difference from the average value is found to calculate the profile.

The device for measuring the profile of concave-convex spherical surface comprises a support base 1, which can be a magnet, capable of conveniently fixing the support base 1 on the workpiece to be measured; a mounting plate 2 rotatably mounted on the support base 1; a plurality of ball heads 3 uniformly rotatably mounted in the mounting plate 2; and a plurality of half-spherical blocks 4 fixedly mounted on the ball heads 3, wherein the number of the half-spherical blocks 4 on each ball head 3 is two, as shown in Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the mounting plate 2 is arc-shaped, and the half-spherical blocks 4 are located on the outer surface of the mounting plate 2, used for measuring the profile of concave spherical surface. In other embodiments, the half-spherical blocks 4 can be mounted on the inner surface of the mounting plate 2, used for measuring the profile of convex spherical surface; a plurality of micrometers 5 are mounted on the ball heads 3, and the micrometers 5 are located between the two half-spherical blocks 4 on the same ball head 3, wherein a circular hole is formed in the ball head 3, and a half-circular hole with an open side is formed in the half-spherical block 4, and the micrometer 5 penetrates through the circular hole and the half-spherical hole.
[0029] A bearing is fixedly mounted on the support base 1, and a rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 2, and the bearing is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, so as to realize the rotary connection between the mounting plate 2 and the support base 1, and conveniently measure more values of the same dimension of the workpiece by the micrometer 5.
[0030] A plurality of mounting holes are formed in the mounting plate 2, and the ball heads 3 are fixedly mounted in the mounting holes.
[0031] A plurality of first fixing bolts 6 are threadedly mounted on the mounting plate 2, and the first fixing bolts 6 are in contact with the ball heads 3, so as to conveniently position the ball heads 3, and thereby conveniently adjust the micrometer 5 to be perpendicular to the surface of the measured workpiece.

[0033] An anti-skid pad is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support base 1.
[0034] The device for measuring the profile of concave-convex spherical surface comprises the following steps when measuring the profile of concave-convex spherical surface:
