[0022] The measurement includes the following steps: Step 1: Clamp and fix the two ends of the elbow on the clamping device 7. The clamping device 7 includes two clamps 71, and the clamps 71 are provided with V-blocks 711 and gas-liquid speed-stabilizing cylinders 712. The two ends of the elbow are manually placed on the V-blocks 711 of the two clamps 71, and the gas-liquid speed-stabilizing cylinders 712 are manually controlled to clamp and fix the two ends of the elbow to keep the elbow horizontal and fixed as a whole. The two gas-liquid speed-stabilizing cylinders 712 can be controlled separately.

[0023] Step 2: Move the industrial camera 1 motion platform 5 to the top of the middle part of the bending section of the curved pipe, take a picture of the curved pipe and generate a curved pipe image, and determine the position of the bending center of the curved pipe. The linear motion module 4 51 and the linear motion module 5 52 in the industrial camera 1 motion platform 5 move the industrial camera 1 53 to the top of the curved section of the curved pipe, and the industrial camera 1 53 takes a picture of the positioned curved pipe to generate a curved pipe image. The computer calculates the bending center of the curved pipe and determines the coordinates of the bending center in the industrial camera 1 53 coordinate system. The absolute position and relative position of the industrial camera 1 53 coordinate system and the device mechanical coordinate system are fixed, so the coordinates of the bending center in the device mechanical coordinate system can be calculated. At this time, by determining the bending center of the curved pipe and the initial position of the center of the rotating platform 2 before, the path for moving the center of the rotating platform 2 to the bending center of the curved pipe can be obtained.

[0024] Step 3: The XY motion platform 1 controls the center of the rotating platform 2 to coincide with the bending center of the bent pipe. The computer calculates the displacement required to move the center of the rotating platform 2 to the bending center of the bent pipe, and the XY motion platform 1 controls the center of the rotating platform 2 to move in the XY coordinate plane so that the center of the rotating platform 2 coincides with the bending center of the bent pipe.

[0025] Step 4: Move the industrial camera 2 motion platform 6 to the position where one end of the straight section of the curved pipe is facing the cross section, shoot the cross section of the straight section of the curved pipe and generate the cross section image of the straight section of the curved pipe, and determine the center position of the cross section of the straight section of the curved pipe. Determine the coordinates of the center of the curved section in the industrial camera 2 62 coordinate system. The absolute position and relative position of the industrial camera 2 62 coordinate system and the device mechanical coordinate system are fixed, so the coordinates of the center of the straight section of the curved pipe in the device mechanical coordinate system can be calculated.

[0026] Step 5: The XZ motion platform 3 controls the center of the annular detector 4 to coincide with the center of the curved pipe section. Since the annular detector 4 is mounted on the rotating platform 2, the XY motion platform 1 has moved the rotating platform 2 once in step 3. Therefore, the center of the annular detector 4 has a new position coordinate in the device mechanical coordinate system after the rotating platform 2 moves. The computer calculates the displacement required to move the center of the annular detector 4 to the center of the curved pipe section, and the XZ motion platform 3 controls the center of the annular detector 4 to move in the XZ coordinate plane so that the center of the annular detector 4 coincides with the center of the curved pipe section.

[0027] Step 6: The detection ring 41 inside the annular detector 4 performs reciprocating semicircular motion around the cross section of the curved pipe for sampling, and the rotating platform 2 intermittently rotates along the curved path of the curved pipe until the rotating platform 2 rotates 90° and stops sampling. Two laser sensors 42 are arranged on the detection ring 41 inside the annular detector 4, which are 180° apart. The detection ring 41 rotates 180°, and then the rotating platform 2 rotates 10°; then the detection ring 41 rotates 180° in the opposite direction, and then the rotating platform 2 rotates 10°; the cycle is repeated until the rotating platform 2 rotates 90° and stops. The connecting line of the two laser sensors 42 passes through the center of the annular detector 4, and the path when performing the rotational motion forms a circle with a diameter of D. The two laser sensors 42 detect the distance s from the laser emission source to the surface of the curved pipe, and sampling is performed every 0.1°. Each laser sensor 42 detects 1800 data, and a total of 3600 data are collected. The 1800 pairs of data are added correspondingly to obtain 1800 data, and the largest data p and the smallest data q are taken out, and the maximum outer diameter d of the ellipse is max =Dq, the minimum outer diameter of the ellipse d min =Dp, ellipticity φ = (d max -d min ) / d0, d0 is the original outer diameter of the pipe.

[0028] Step 7: Reset the device.
