DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an internal threaded hole depth detection device, including: a connecting shaft 1, a detection probe 2, a two-way ratchet wrench 3, an encoder 41, a controller and a display screen; one end of the connecting shaft 1 is detachably connected to the two-way ratchet wrench 3, and the other end is detachably connected to the detection probe 2, and the two-way ratchet wrench 3 can drive the detection probe 2 to rotate through the connecting shaft 1; the surface of the detection probe 2 is provided with a thread corresponding to the internal threaded hole to be detected; the encoder 41 is provided on the connecting shaft 1, and is used to record the number of rotations of the connecting shaft 1; the controller is electrically connected to the encoder 41, and the controller is used to calculate the depth of the internal threaded hole to be detected through a preset hole depth calculation formula based on the information recorded by the encoder 41 and the preset pitch information of the detection probe 2 thread; the display screen is used to display the depth of the internal threaded hole to be detected calculated by the controller. The internal thread hole depth detection device provided in this embodiment is used to detect the depth of the internal thread hole to be detected. The internal thread hole depth detection device includes a connecting shaft 1, a detection probe 2, a two-way ratchet wrench 3, an encoder 41, a controller and a display screen. Among them, the connecting shaft 1 is used to connect the two-way ratchet wrench 3 and the detection probe 2, and to provide installation space for electrical components such as the encoder 41. One end of the connecting shaft 1 is detachably connected to the two-way ratchet wrench 3, and the other end is detachably connected to the detection probe 2, so that the internal thread hole depth detection device can be easily stored; when the two-way ratchet wrench 3, the connecting shaft 1 and the detection probe 2 are connected in sequence, the two-way ratchet wrench 3 drives the detection probe 2 to rotate through the connecting shaft 1. The outer surface of the detection probe 2 is engraved with threads, and the threads correspond to the internal thread hole to be detected, so that the detection probe 2 can be screwed into the internal thread hole to be detected. A two-way ratchet wrench 3 is used to drive the detection probe 2 to rotate. By adjusting the paddle, it can provide clockwise torque and counterclockwise torque, which is convenient for the operator to screw the detection probe 2 into or out of the internal threaded hole to be detected. The handle is long and can provide a large torque under the condition of using less force, which is convenient for the operator to use. The encoder 41 is arranged on the connecting shaft 1, and is used to record the number of rotations of the connecting shaft 1 when the connecting shaft 1 rotates. Since the detection probe 2 rotates synchronously with the connecting shaft 1 when the connecting shaft 1 rotates, the number of rotations of the connecting shaft 1 is also the number of rotations of the detection probe 2. The controller is electrically connected to the encoder 41, and the controller can receive the number of rotations of the connecting shaft 1 recorded by the encoder 41. The controller is also preset with the pitch information of the thread of the detection probe 2, and the hole depth calculation formula is preset, so that the controller can calculate the depth of the internal threaded hole to be detected based on the information recorded by the encoder 41 and the preset pitch information of the thread of the detection probe 2 through the preset hole depth calculation formula; the controller calculates the depth of the internal threaded hole to be detected and displays it on the display screen. The hole depth calculation formula is L=P×N, where L is the depth of the internal threaded hole to be detected, P is the pitch of the thread of the detection probe 2, and N is the number of revolutions of the detection probe 2 during the detection process.

[0020] When in use, the detection probe 2, the connecting shaft 1 and the two-way ratchet wrench 3 are assembled in sequence, the detection probe 2 is aligned with the internal threaded hole to be detected, and then the detection probe 2 is screwed into the internal threaded hole through the two-way ratchet wrench 3. When the detection probe 2 cannot continue to rotate, it means that the detection probe 2 has reached the bottom of the internal threaded hole to be detected. At this time, the controller can calculate the depth of the internal threaded hole to be detected according to the above-mentioned hole depth calculation formula.

[0021] The internal threaded hole depth detection equipment provided in this embodiment has a detachable connection between the detection probe 2, the connecting shaft 1 and the bidirectional ratchet wrench 3, which is convenient for the storage of the internal threaded hole depth detection equipment; the depth of the internal threaded hole to be detected is calculated by the encoder 41 and the controller, which has higher accuracy and higher detection efficiency than the prior art.
