[0002] At present, major domestic shipbuilding enterprises have introduced the relatively advanced total station measurement equipment to detect the dimensional accuracy of the hull structure, fitting pipes and other types of products, and the application of this equipment has been widely popularized. The total station measurement is carried out by aiming at the local points of the object to be measured. However, for the relatively complex structural form of the hull, the fitting pipes are affected by objective factors such as rib plates, scaffolding and improper placement of segments, resulting in the obstruction of the total station line of sight. Usually, in such cases, the measurement equipment needs to be moved, which greatly increases the measurement difficulty and reduces the measurement efficiency and accuracy. Summary of the Invention

The four fixed rods and the telescopic measuring rod are all located at the centers of their respective main board sides. The center of the measuring target is located on the center line of the telescopic measuring rod;

[0032] To better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The present invention provides a method for measuring the center of an outfitting pipe fitting with an obstructed measurement line of sight, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0034] S1. Install a pipe center transfer tooling on the pipe end flange of the outfitting pipe fitting 1 with an obstructed measurement line of sight.

[0035] The pipe center transfer tooling includes a main board 2, fixing rods 3 threadedly fixed on the four side surfaces (top, bottom, left, and right) of the main board 2, and a telescopic measuring rod 4 threadedly fixed on one end surface of the main board 2.

[0036] The main board 2 is used to fixedly install the fixing rods 3 and the telescopic measuring rod 4. The main board 2 can be designed into any symmetric regular shape, such as a rectangle, a circle, etc. In this embodiment, the main board 2 is a square board with a thickness of 20 mm. In actual use, its size, thickness, and shape can be adjusted according to the actual situation. Threaded holes for installing the fixing rods 3 are provided on the four side surfaces (top, bottom, left, and right) of the main board 2, and a threaded hole for installing the telescopic measuring rod 4 is also provided at the center of the front side surface.

[0037] The four fixing rods 3 have exactly the same size and are respectively arranged along the radial direction of the outfitting pipe fitting 1. The four fixing rods 3 are respectively threadedly fixed at the centers of the four side surfaces (top, bottom, left, and right) of the main board 3. A screw rod 6 for fixing in the flange hole of the pipe end flange to fix the pipe center transfer tooling at the end of the outfitting pipe fitting 1 is vertically fixed at the end of each fixing rod 3. When the four fixing rods 3 are fixed to the four side surfaces (top, bottom, left, and right) of the main board 2, they together form a support frame with the main board 2, and the center of the main board 2 is the center of the pipe of the outfitting pipe fitting. The fixing rod can be set as a round rod or a long square rod. In this embodiment, the fixing rod 3 is a long square rod.

[0038] Preferably, the end of the fixing rod 3 is set as a round cutting surface.

[0039] A measuring target 5 that rotates 360° in the vertical direction is fixed at the end of the telescopic measuring rod 4. The measuring target 5 includes a target frame 51 fixed at the end of the telescopic measuring rod 4, a target shaft 52 vertically arranged in the target frame 51, and a target 53 sleeved on the target shaft 52. The target surface of the target 53 is in a vertical state, and the target 53 can rotate 360° around the target shaft 52 in the vertical direction.

[0040] The four fixing rods 3 and the telescopic measuring rod 4 are all located at the centers of their respective main board sides. The center of the target of the measuring target 5 is located on the center line of the telescopic measuring rod 4, that is, the center of the target of the measuring target 5, the center line of the telescopic measuring rod 4, and the center of the main board 2 are all on the same straight line, and the center of the main board 2 is also on the center line of the four fixing rods 3.

[0041] S2. Keep the original measurement position of the total station unchanged (the total station is still placed at the original observation point, and this observation point cannot detect the center of the outfitting pipe fitting due to obstacle occlusion), pull the telescopic measuring rod 4, and adjust the measuring target 5 into the measuring view of the total station.

[0042] S3. The measuring beam emitted by the measuring target 5 is aligned with the center of the target of the measuring target 5 to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates of the center of the target.

[0043] S4. The three-dimensional coordinates of the center of the outfitting pipe fitting calculated based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the bull's-eye, the current elongation length of the telescopic measuring rod 4, the thickness of the main board, and the dimensions of the fixed rod 3.

[0044] S5. Judge the actual position deviation according to the three-dimensional coordinates of the center of the outfitting pipe fitting.

[0045] Preferably, scale values are also provided on the surface of the fixed rod 3 of the above-mentioned pipe center transfer tooling, and the diameter of the outfitting pipe fitting can also be calculated according to the scale values shown on the fixed rod 3.

[0046] Preferably, the fixed rod 3 of the above-mentioned pipe center transfer tooling can be set as a telescopic rod, and the above-mentioned pipe center transfer tooling can also be used to detect whether the outfitting pipe fitting is a perfect circle, that is, place the above-mentioned pipe center transfer tooling inside the pipe of the outfitting pipe fitting (before placing it inside the pipe, it is necessary to ensure that the lengths of the four fixed rods 3 are equal), and make the circular section at the end of one of the fixed rods 3 contact the inner wall of the pipe, and observe whether the circular sections at the ends of the other three fixed rods contact the inner wall of the pipe. If the circular sections at the ends of the other three fixed rods all contact the inner wall of the pipe, it means that the outfitting pipe fitting is a perfect circle.

[0047] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
