[0032] A depth measuring tool for an open-hole spiral groove. It is used to measure the spiral groove on a workpiece. The spiral groove to be measured on the workpiece is as Figure 1 , located in a semi-open hole, and the workpiece has a round hole (workpiece positioning hole) concentric with the spiral groove. The workpiece to be detected has a first section and a second section. An outer cylindrical surface is provided on the first section, and a spiral groove is provided on the outer cylindrical surface. The groove hole of the spiral groove is an open hole, and the spiral groove spirally extends along the outer cylindrical surface. A stepped shape is formed between the first section and the second section. A workpiece positioning hole is provided on the second section, and the workpiece positioning hole and the outer cylindrical surface of the first section are coaxially arranged. One end of the groove hole of the workpiece spiral groove is an inclined surface inlet, and an edge edge is provided at the other end of the groove hole of the workpiece spiral groove.
[0033] See Figure 2 , a depth measuring tool and a measuring method for an open-hole spiral groove, including a base handle, a positioning cover plate, a measuring pin and a return spring. The base handle is as Figures 3 - 4As shown, the base handle is a shaft-like part with a cavity. The front end of the shaft includes a cylindrical surface for positioning (i.e., the positioning part), and a rotating handle at the rear end for gripping, enabling the base to rotate around the cylinder of the positioning part and move axially under the action of the handle. There is a stepped hole in the cavity. The small hole of the stepped hole is used to cooperate with the measuring pin to limit the measuring pin to only move axially. The large stepped hole cooperates with the positioning cover plate to limit the movement of the measuring pin not exceeding the design range. The base handle also has a cover plate threaded hole and a fixing threaded hole for fixing the positioning cover plate.
[0034] As Figure 5 shown, the positioning cover plate has a measuring pin hole for limiting the measuring pin to only move axially. There are two stepped planes (plane D and plane X) on the end face of the positioning cover plate. The plane dividing line passes through the center of the measuring pin hole. The height difference ΔH between the stepped planes is the required depth tolerance of the measured spiral groove. Planes D and X cooperate with the measuring plane of the measuring pin to determine whether the depth of the spiral groove meets the requirements.
[0035] As Figure 6 shown, the measuring pin is a shaft including a supporting boss, and a supporting return spring, enabling the measuring pin to always move away from the positioning cover plate under the action of the spring force (as Figure 7 is the position of the measuring pin in the free state). One end of the measuring pin shaft is a measuring plane for cooperating with the positioning cover plate, and the other end is a measuring ball head for contacting the part. The radius R of the measuring ball head can cause the measuring pin to lift under the force at the edge of the spiral groove.
[0036] As Figures 8 - 9 , when the base handle is rotated, making the measuring ball head contact the spiral groove, pressing the measuring pin to overcome the spring force of the return spring, the measuring plane of the measuring pin lifts, for indicating the state of the measuring pin.
[0037] A method for measuring the depth of an open-hole spiral groove, using the measuring device as described above to detect the depth of the open-hole spiral groove. It includes the following steps:
[0038] S1. Insert the positioning part of the base handle into the workpiece positioning hole, rotate and move the base handle to make the measuring pin fall into the spiral groove to be measured;
[0039] S2. Use a knife-edge ruler or the tactile method to check whether the measuring plane of the measuring pin is between plane D and plane X of the positioning cover plate. If the measuring plane is between plane D and plane X, it is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified;
[0040] S3. Rotate and move the base handle to make the measuring ball head contact other positions of the spiral groove, and repeat step S2;
[0041] S4. Rotate and move the base handle to make the measuring ball head close to the edge of the spiral groove, continue to move the base handle to make the edge of the spiral groove press the ball head R to lift the measuring pin (as Figure 10 ), and finally separate from the spiral groove to complete the measurement of the workpiece.
[0042] The present invention can be applied to the depth detection of open-hole spiral grooves, with accurate and reliable positioning, convenient adjustment, and simple and safe operation.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
