Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a digital display length measuring instrument, belonging to the technical field of measuring devices. Background Art

[0002] In industrial manufacturing enterprises, vernier calipers are commonly used to measure length, and the accuracy is generally accurate to 0.02 mm. If the requirements are higher, micrometers are also used. Due to the limitations of the thread structure (geometric dimensions, strength, rigidity, etc.), the pitch of the micrometer is 0.5mm, and the periphery of the movable sleeve is divided into 50 equal parts. The reading corresponding to each grid is 0.01mm, and the reading is estimated to be one decimal place. The measurement accuracy is difficult to improve.

[0003] The development of modern industrial technology has put forward higher and higher requirements for the machining accuracy of parts. When the enterprise debugs the equipment for bearing finishing production, if the outer diameter micrometer is used for measurement, the detection effect is not ideal, because the outer ring accuracy of the bearing itself is at the micron level. It is best to use a higher-level measuring instrument to obtain more accurate measurement data and control the outer diameter size within a more reasonable size range. Especially when measuring parts at critical sizes, it is difficult to accurately judge whether they are qualified without using a higher-level measuring instrument, and it is easy to misjudge.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0019] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a digital display length measuring instrument comprises a U-shaped main scale frame 01, wherein one end of the U-shaped main scale frame 01 is provided with a universal spiral measuring mechanism, and the other end is provided with a digital display spiral measuring mechanism; Among them, the digital display spiral measuring mechanism includes a fixed screw sleeve 21, a micro-motion anvil 22, a rotating gear sleeve 23, a planetary carrier 24, a coaxial planetary gear set 25, a fixed wheel 26, a differential turntable 27 and a digital display module 31. One end of the fixed screw sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the sleeve at the right arm end 012 of the U-shaped main scale frame 01, and the other end is threadedly connected to the rotating gear sleeve 23. One end of the planetary carrier 24 is rotatably connected to the rotating gear sleeve 23 through the coaxial planetary gear set 25, and the other end is rotatably arranged in the fixed wheel 26 and inserted into the differential turntable 27 and coaxially rotatably connected to the outer end of the fixed wheel 26. Differential scale lines are provided on the large outer cylindrical surface of the differential turntable 27, and a digital display module 31 is provided on the fixed screw sleeve 21 for easy reading.

[0020] The micro-motion measuring anvil 22 slides through the fixed screw sleeve 21 and extends into the groove of the U-shaped main scale frame 01; One end of the fixed screw sleeve 21 is provided with a fixed sleeve 211 connected to the right arm end 012, and the fixed screw sleeve 21 is provided with an internal thread 212 matching the external thread of the rotating gear sleeve 23, and the pitch of the precision internal thread is 0.5 mm.

[0021] The rotating gear sleeve 23 is provided with an internal gear, and the coaxial planetary gear set 25 is provided with a planetary gear 1 251 meshing with the internal gear at one end, and a planetary gear 252 meshing with the internal gear of the fixed wheel 26 at the other end.

[0022] Principle of spiral measuring mechanism: In the high-precision spiral measuring mechanism, the fixed wheel 26, the planet carrier 24, the rotating gear sleeve 23, the coaxial planetary gear set 25, etc. constitute an epicyclic gear train. The number of teeth of the planetary wheel 1 251 and the planetary wheel 2 252 is equal. The rotating gear sleeve 23 has one more tooth than the fixed wheel 26. Every time the differential turntable 27 rotates clockwise for one circle, the rotating gear sleeve 23 rotates one tooth in the same direction. In the example, the differential turntable 27 rotates clockwise for 40 circles, the rotating gear sleeve 23 rotates one circle in the same direction, and the micro-motion measuring anvil 22 moves axially by one tooth pitch of 0.5 mm. One rotation of the differential turntable 27 corresponds to an axial movement of the micro-motion anvil 22 of 0.5 mm / 40=0.0125 mm; each rotation of the differential turntable 27 by one scale corresponds to an axial movement of the micro-motion anvil 22 of 0.0125 mm / 100=0.000125 mm. In the specific implementation of this embodiment, the number of teeth of the internal gear in the rotating gear sleeve 23 is one more than the number of teeth of the internal gear in the fixed wheel 26. In this example, the number of teeth of the internal gear in the fixed wheel 26 is 40, and the number of teeth of the internal gear in the rotating gear sleeve 23 is 41. The number of teeth of the planetary gear 1 251 is equal to that of the planetary gear 2 252. In the specific implementation of this embodiment, the planet carrier 24 includes a coaxial inner guide column 241, a guide ring 242, an outer guide column 243 and a connecting column 244. The inner guide column 241 is rotatably disposed in the rotating gear sleeve 23, and the outer guide column 243 is rotatably disposed in the fixed wheel 26. The outer end surface of the guide ring 242 is slidably matched with the inner end surface of the fixed wheel 26. The connecting column 244 is inserted into the inner hole of the differential rotating disk 27 and is fixedly connected to the differential rotating disk 27 by a radial set screw 28. Figure 2 As shown, a locking mechanism 2 30 is provided on the sleeve-shaped right arm end 012 of the U-shaped main ruler frame for locking the micro-motion measuring anvil 22 .

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the U-shaped main ruler frame 01 are wrapped with insulation sheets 013 to isolate the human body temperature during measurement.

[0024] In the specific implementation of this embodiment, a manual knob is provided at the outer end of the differential dial 27, and a force measuring device 29 is also provided at the outer end of the manual knob; like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the structure of the universal spiral measuring mechanism includes a micrometer screw 11, a fixed sleeve 12, a differential cylinder 13, a force measuring device (a ratchet) 14, etc., and a locking mechanism 15 is provided. The structure of this part is exactly the same as the structure of the upper right part of the conventional spiral micrometer measuring frame, and no further detailed description is given.

[0025] Working principle of the present invention: Hold the main scale frame still, and rotate the differential dial 27 clockwise for one circle through the manual knob or force measuring device 29, driving the planetary carrier 24 to rotate clockwise for one circle, and the planetary carrier drives the coaxial planetary gear set 25 to revolve clockwise for one circle. Under the action of the fixed inner teeth on the inner ring of the fixed wheel 26, the planetary gear 2 252 rotates counterclockwise by 40 teeth. Because the planetary gear 1 25 and the planetary gear 2 252 in the coaxial planetary gear set 25 are coaxially fixed and have the same number of teeth, the planetary gear 1 251 will drive the rotating gear sleeve 23 to rotate, and the rotating gear sleeve 23 also rotates counterclockwise by 40 teeth relative to the planetary carrier 24. The rotating gear sleeve 23 is provided with 41 teeth, with a 1-tooth difference. Then, rotate the differential dial 27 clockwise for one circle through the manual knob or force measuring device 2 29, and the rotating gear sleeve 23 will rotate clockwise by 1 tooth relative to the frame. It can also be considered that the planet carrier 24 is fixed and does not rotate, and the fixed wheel 26 rotates counterclockwise relative to the planet carrier for one circle. Then, the fixed inner teeth (40 teeth in the example) of the inner ring of the fixed wheel 26 drive the planetary wheel 2 252 to rotate counterclockwise by 40 teeth. Because the planetary wheel 1 25 in the coaxial planetary wheel set 25 is coaxially fixed with the planetary wheel 2 252 and has the same number of teeth, the planetary wheel 1 251 will drive the rotating gear sleeve 23 to rotate counterclockwise by 40 teeth relative to the planetary carrier 24. The rotating gear sleeve 23 is provided with 41 teeth, that is, the rotating gear sleeve 23 does not rotate counterclockwise relative to the planetary carrier 24 by one circle, but one tooth. That is, the differential dial 27 is rotated clockwise by one circle through the manual knob or the force measuring device 2 29, and the rotating gear sleeve 23 rotates clockwise by 1 tooth relative to the fixed wheel 26.

[0026] When measuring, routine measurements: Adjust the differential cylinder 13 of the universal spiral measuring mechanism to the 0 scale position and lock the mechanism 15.

[0027] The differential turntable 27 is rotated by the force measuring device 29 to adjust the position of the micro-motion anvil 22 so that the end of the micro-motion anvil 22 contacts the end of the micro-measuring screw 11 (sometimes a measuring rod of standard length is required, which is conventional), and the micro-motion anvil 22 is locked by the locking mechanism 2 30.

[0028] After zeroing, the measuring instrument can be used as a screw micrometer of conventional accuracy. The measured value is read directly by adjusting the differential cylinder 13. The measurement accuracy is 0.01 mm, and one more digit can be estimated on this basis.

[0029] High-precision measurement: Take the measurement of 6205 B (P2) grade bearings as an example. Its outer diameter should be between Φ52.000-52.006.

[0030] The above zero calibration process is performed first, and the micro-motion anvil 22 is locked by the locking mechanism 2 30 .

[0031] Turn on the digital display module 31 and perform zero calibration.

[0032] Place a 52 mm long standard gauge block between the micro-anvil 22 and the micrometer screw 11, rotate the differential cylinder 13 through the ratchet force knob 14, adjust the rod end of the micrometer screw 11 to contact the standard gauge block, and then lock the micrometer screw 11 through the locking mechanism 15.

[0033] The locking mechanism 2 30 is released to unlock the micro-motion anvil 22 .

[0034] Rotate the differential turntable 27 counterclockwise (from right to left) for one circle (determined according to actual needs). (One circle of the differential turntable corresponds to the micro-motion anvil 22 moving back 0.0125 mm. The maximum outer diameter of the bearing to be tested is 52.006) Place the bearing to be measured between the micro-motion anvil 22 and the micro-measuring screw 11, turn the differential dial 27 clockwise through the ratchet force measuring knob 29, adjust the position of the micro-motion anvil 22, and make the end face of the micro-motion anvil 22 contact with the outer diameter surface of the bearing, and read the reading directly through the digital display module. The reading plus the value of the 52 mm standard gauge block is the actual measurement value of the bearing.

[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
