[0007] The further improvement lies in that: there are at least three groups of attaching blocks, and the three groups of attaching blocks are vertically arranged in sequence to respectively measure the roundness of the upper end, middle end and lower end of the side wall of the ring-shaped part.

[0013] A further improvement lies in that mounting frames are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material plate. A plurality of rotating rollers are rotatably mounted in the mounting frames. A support block is fixed to the inner side of the lower end of the mounting block. An anti-collision strip is provided at the edge of the mounting block on the side close to the feeding end of the material plate. A driving assembly for driving the mounting frame to move is provided on the bottom plate.

[0014] A further improvement lies in that the driving assembly includes a strip-shaped groove, a strip-shaped block, a mounting groove, a bidirectional screw, a nut sleeve and a third motor. Strip-shaped blocks are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame. A strip-shaped groove adapted to the strip-shaped block is provided on the bottom plate. The strip-shaped block is adapted to the strip-shaped groove. A mounting groove is provided on the bottom plate. A bidirectional screw is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove. A third motor for driving the bidirectional screw to rotate is provided on one side of the bottom plate. Nut sleeves are symmetrically arranged on the bidirectional screw. The tops of the nut sleeves are respectively fixedly connected to the two mounting frames.

[0015] The measuring method using the above-mentioned measuring device for the radial dimension of the large forging ring includes the following steps;

[0016] S1. Enter the production dimension Z of the ring through the interactive panel. Then place the ring to be detected on the material plate. By starting the third motor, the third motor drives the bidirectional screw to rotate, thereby driving the nut sleeve to move, and further driving the rotating rollers on the mounting frame to move inward so that the distance between the rotating rollers on the two mounting frames is Z + 2 mm.

[0017] S2. By starting the second motor, the second motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, thereby driving the slider to move in the chute, further driving the push column to move, and thus driving the ring to move towards the stop block and fit with the stop block. At this time, a preliminary screening of the ring is carried out. When the ring can enter, the next detection work is carried out. When the ring cannot enter, it means that the dimension is unqualified.

[0018] S3. After the ring fits with the stop block, the first laser measuring head and the second laser measuring head work. Measure that the distance between the mounting block and the stop block is A, and the distance between the mounting block and the outer wall of the ring is B. Obtain the diameter of the flange as C, where C = A - B.

[0019] S4. After the distance measurement is completed, start the hydraulic cylinder to drive the block to move outward. When the block moves to the outermost side, start the telescopic assembly to drive the two groups of measuring devices to extend. Then, start the lifting cylinder to drive the two groups of measuring devices to move down a certain distance so that the bottom of the measuring device fits the top surface of the material plate. Then, start the first electric telescopic rod to drive the measuring device away from the center of the ring to move towards the outer wall of the ring, record the stroke G, and stop when the induction block works. Then, start a group of second electric telescopic rods to drive the other group of measuring devices to move towards the inner wall of the ring, record the stroke F, and stop when the induction block works. At this time, the third laser measuring head works, and then the distance between the two patch blocks on the measuring device is obtained as D. At this time, the inner diameter of the ring is calculated as E, where E = C - 2D;

[0020] S5. Then, reset half of the stroke of the moving second electric telescopic rod, specifically F / 2. At the same time, the first electric telescopic rod also extends F / 2 so that the patch block on the inner measuring device fits the inner wall of the ring again. Then, start another group of second electric telescopic rods, and its stroke is also F / 2. At the same time, make the patch block on the outer measuring device fit the outer wall of the ring. At this time, the strokes of the two groups of second electric telescopic rods are equal, both F / 2, and the actual moving stroke of the first electric telescopic rod is H, where H = G - (F / 2). And at this time, the centers of the two groups of measuring devices are located in the middle of the thickness of the ring. At this time, the distance between the centers of the two groups of measuring devices and the center of the circle is obtained as (E / 2) + (D / 2). Given the length J from the position where the connecting block is connected to the first electric telescopic rod to the central axis of the first motor, the initial length K of the first electric telescopic rod, and the distance N from the position where the upper end surface of the L-shaped mounting plate is connected to the first electric telescopic rod to the middle position of the two groups of second electric telescopic rods, the distance M that the telescopic assembly needs to move again can be calculated, so that the central axis of the first motor is located directly above the center of the circular ring. Among them, M = (E / 2) + (D / 2) - (J - H + K + N). At the same time, the first electric telescopic rod extends the distance M synchronously so that the position of the measuring device does not change, achieving the purpose of centering different-sized rings;

[0021] S6. After the first motor is located directly above the center of the ring, start the first motor. The first motor drives the measuring device to rotate, so that the patch block makes a circular motion along the side wall of the ring, and then the side wall of the ring is detected. When there are problems such as concavity and convexity, insufficient roundness, and uneven thickness on the side wall, the side wall surface pushes the patch block inward or the spring pushes the patch block outward, so that the probe moves on the sensing block, and the sensing block feeds back to the interactive panel to determine unqualified.

[0022] Through the first laser measuring head and the second laser measuring head, the outer diameter of the ring part can be preliminarily detected. Then, the inner diameter and roundness are detected by a measuring instrument. This not only meets the function of radial measurement but also can detect the state of the side wall and roundness of the ring part, thus greatly increasing the functionality and practicality of this device and further reducing the production cost. Through the design of multiple groups of patch blocks, the accuracy of measuring the side wall of the ring part by this device can be increased. When the patch blocks rotate along the side wall of the ring part, when there is an inconsistency in the thickness on the surface of the ring part, it can all be reflected by the movement of the probe on the sensing block. When there is no problem, the probe will not move on the sensing block. The use of a damper ensures the stability of the spring, preventing it from vibrating easily and further increasing the accuracy of this device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The interaction panel 4 is a prior art and has separate storage, calculation, and human-computer interaction functions, and will not be specifically introduced in terms of structure here;

[0038] The detection mechanism includes a telescopic component 8, a first motor 9, a connecting block 10, a first electric telescopic rod 11, an L-shaped mounting plate 12, a second electric telescopic rod 13, and a measuring device 14.

One end of each of the two groups of second electric telescopic rods 13 is fixed with a measuring device 14. The connecting end of the connecting block 10 and the first electric telescopic rod 11 is vertically flush with the connecting end of the first motor 9 and the telescopic component 8;

[0039] The measuring device 14 includes a strip-shaped mounting plate 15, a third laser measuring head 16, a fixing plate 17, an adjusting component, a measuring chamber 18, a sticking block 19, and an elastic connecting piece. The inner side of the upper end of the strip-shaped mounting plate 15 is provided with the third laser measuring head 16. Below the third laser measuring head 16 is a fixing plate 17 fixedly connected to the strip-shaped mounting plate 15. The inner side of the fixing plate 17 is provided with a measuring chamber 18 through the adjusting component. One side of the measuring chamber 18 is provided with multiple groups of sticking blocks 19 through the elastic connecting piece. A sensing block 20 for cooperating with the elastic connecting piece is arranged in the measuring chamber 18. An induction block 21 is arranged on the side of the sticking block 19 that fits the side wall of the ring part.

[0040] Through the first laser measuring head 6 and the second laser measuring head 7, the outer diameter of the ring part can be initially detected. Then, the inner diameter and roundness of the ring part are detected through the measuring device 14. It not only satisfies the function of radial measurement but also can detect the state of the side surface and roundness of the ring part, thus greatly increasing the functionality and practicality of the device and further reducing the production cost.

[0041] At least three groups of sticking blocks 19 are provided. The three groups of sticking blocks 19 are vertically distributed in sequence to respectively measure the roundness of the upper end, middle end, and lower end of the side wall of the ring part.

[0042] Through the design of multiple groups of sticking blocks 19, the accuracy of measuring the side wall of the ring part by the device can be increased.

[0044] By starting the adjusting air cylinder 22, the inclination angle of the attaching block 19 can be adjusted, so that the measuring device 14 can detect the annular part with an inclined side wall, further increasing the detection range of the device. The design of the auxiliary spring 23 facilitates the opening of the measuring chamber 18.

The sensing block 21 is adapted to the probe 27 and monitors the position dynamics of the probe 27.

[0046] When the attaching block 19 rotates along the side wall of the annular part, when the surface of the annular part has inconsistent thickness, it can be reflected by the movement of the probe 27 on the sensing block 20. When there is no problem, the probe 27 will not move on the sensing block 20. The use of the damper 25 ensures the stability of the spring 24 and prevents it from vibrating easily, further increasing the precision of the device.

[0047] The feeding mechanism includes a material plate 28, a chute 29, a slider 30, a threaded rod 31, a pushing column 32 and a second motor 33. The material plate 28 is fixed on the bottom plate 1.

A driving assembly for driving the mounting frame 39 to move is provided on the bottom plate 1.

[0054] Through the arrangement of the rotating rollers 40 and the support block 41, the ring part can be supported and limited assistantly. By adjusting the distance between the two rotating rollers 40, a preliminary screening of the ring part can be carried out, and then the functionality of the device is increased.

Strip-shaped blocks 44 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame 39. A strip-shaped groove 43 adapted to the strip-shaped blocks 44 is provided on the bottom plate 1. The strip-shaped blocks 44 are adapted to the strip-shaped groove 43. A mounting groove 45 is provided on the bottom plate 1. A bidirectional screw 46 is rotatably installed in the mounting groove 45. A third motor 48 for driving the bidirectional screw 46 to rotate is provided on one side of the bottom plate 1.

[0056] By starting the third motor 48, the third motor 48 drives the bidirectional screw 46 to rotate, thereby driving the nut sleeve 47 to move, and further driving the rotating rollers 40 on the mounting frame 39 to move.

[0057] The measurement method using the above-mentioned large forging ring part radial dimension measurement device includes the following steps;

[0058] S1. Input the production size Z of the ring through the interactive panel 4. Then, place the ring to be detected on the material plate 28. By starting the third motor 48, the third motor 48 drives the bidirectional screw 46 to rotate, thereby driving the nut sleeve 47 to move, and further driving the rotating roller 40 on the mounting frame 39 to move inward, so that the distance between the rotating rollers 40 on the two mounting frames 39 is Z + 2 mm;

[0059] S2. By starting the second motor 33, the second motor 33 drives the threaded rod 31 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 30 to move in the chute 29, further driving the push rod 32 to move, and thus driving the ring to move towards the stop block 3 and fit with the stop block 3. At this time, a preliminary screening of the ring is carried out. When the ring can enter, the next detection work is carried out. When the ring cannot enter, it means that the size is unqualified;

[0060] S3. After the ring fits with the stop block 3, the first laser measuring head 6 and the second laser measuring head 7 work. Measure the distance between the mounting block 5 and the stop block 3 as A, and the distance between the mounting block 5 and the outer wall of the ring as B, and obtain the diameter of the flange as C, where C = A - B;

[0061] S4. After the distance measurement is completed, by starting the hydraulic cylinder 34 to drive the stop block 3 to move outward. When the stop block 3 moves to the outermost side, by starting the telescopic assembly 8, the telescopic assembly 8 drives the two measuring devices 14 to extend. Then, by starting the lifting cylinder 37 to drive the two measuring devices 14 to move down a certain distance, so that the bottom of the measuring device 14 is in contact with the top surface of the material plate 28. Then, by starting the first electric telescopic rod 11 to drive the measuring device 14 away from the center of the ring to move towards the outer wall of the ring, and record the stroke G, and stop when the induction block 21 works. Then, by starting a group of second electric telescopic rods 13 to drive the other measuring device 14 to move towards the inner wall of the ring, and record the stroke F, and stop when the induction block 21 works. At this time, the third laser measuring head 16 works, and then the distance between the two patch blocks 19 on the measuring device 14 is obtained as D. At this time, the inner diameter of the ring is calculated as E, where E = C - 2D;

[0062] S5. Then, reset half of the stroke of the moving second electric telescopic rod 13, specifically F / 2. At the same time, the stroke of the first electric telescopic rod 11 also extends by F / 2, so that the sticker 19 on the inner measuring device 14 fits the ring again. Then, start another group of second electric telescopic rods 13, and its stroke is also F / 2. At the same time, make the sticker 19 on the outer measuring device 14 fit the ring. At this time, the actual moving stroke of the first electric telescopic rod 11 is H, where H = G - (F / 2). And the centers of the two groups of measuring devices 14 are located in the middle of the thickness of the ring. At this time, the distance between the centers of the two groups of measuring devices 14 and the center of the circle is (E / 2) + (D / 2). Knowing the length J from the connection position of the connecting block 10 and the first electric telescopic rod 11 to the central axis of the first motor 9, the initial length K of the first electric telescopic rod 11, and the distance N from the connection position of the upper end surface of the L-shaped mounting plate 12 and the first electric telescopic rod 11 to the middle position between the two groups of second electric telescopic rods 13, the distance M that the telescopic assembly 8 needs to move again can be calculated, so that the central axis of the first motor 9 is located directly above the center of the circle of the ring. Among them, M = (E / 2) + (D / 2) - (J - H + K + N). At the same time, the first electric telescopic rod 11 extends synchronously by the distance M, so that the position of the measuring device 14 does not change, achieving the purpose of centering rings of different sizes;

[0063] S6. When the first motor 9 is directly above the center of the circle of the ring, by starting the first motor 9, the first motor 9 drives the measuring device 14 to rotate, so that the sticker 19 makes a circular motion along the side wall of the ring, and then the side wall of the ring is detected. When there are problems such as concavity and convexity, insufficient roundness, and uneven thickness on the side wall, the side wall surface pushes the sticker 19 inward or the spring 24 pushes the sticker 19 outward, so that the probe 27 moves on the sensing block 20, and the sensing block 20 feeds back to the interaction panel 4 to determine that it is unqualified.

[0064] Finally, for the positioning of the center of the ring, during the production of this device, the position distance between the connection end face of the connection block 10 and the first electric telescopic rod 11 and the central axis of the first motor 9 is determined and recorded as J. The initial length of the first electric telescopic rod 11 is recorded as K, and the distance between the upper end face of the L-shaped mounting plate 12 and the middle position of the two second electric telescopic rods 13 is N, which is entered into the interactive panel 4. First, the telescopic assembly 8 is moved so that the two measuring devices 14 are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the side wall of the ring. Then, the thickness of the ring is determined by starting the first electric telescopic rod 11 and the second electric telescopic rod 13. Then, through the moving distance of one of the second electric telescopic rods 13, the stroke of the other second electric telescopic rod 13 is determined, so that the strokes of the two second electric telescopic rods 13 are equal, so that the connection point of the two second electric telescopic rods 13 is located in the middle of the top surface of the ring. At this time, the distance from the center of the ring to the middle of the thickness of the ring is obtained. Also knowing the length K of the first electric telescopic rod 11 itself, the length J of the connecting plate, and the stroke H of the second electric telescopic rod 13, the distance between the central axis of the first motor 9 and the center of the ring can be calculated. Then, by driving the telescopic assembly 8 and simultaneously extending the first electric telescopic rod 11 by the same length, the central axis of the first motor 9 is aligned with the center of the ring.
