[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a rotationally symmetric non-holosphere roundness measurement tool provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the tooling includes:

[0037] The roundness meter workbench 1 is used to provide a basic support platform, has an angle dial, and can rotate around the central axis of the roundness meter workbench 1;

[0038] The workbench base 2 is mounted on the roundness instrument workbench 1. The central axis of the workbench base 2 coincides with the central axis of the roundness instrument workbench 1 and can rotate along the central axis driven by the roundness instrument workbench 1.

[0039] An angle adjustment mechanism 3 is installed on the workbench base 2 and is used to adjust the tilt angle of the workpiece 6 to be measured;

[0040] Angle locking mechanism 8, used to lock or release the angle adjustment mechanism 3;

[0041] A sliding workbench 4 is mounted on the upper portion of the angle adjustment mechanism 3 and is slidable;

[0042] Differential cylinder 9, connected to the sliding table 4, used for precisely adjusting the lateral position of the sliding table 4;

[0043] The core shaft 7 is mounted on the sliding workbench and is used to mount the workpiece 6 to be measured; wherein the workpiece 6 to be measured is a rotationally symmetric non-holosphere part.

[0044] The measuring rod 5 is provided with a measuring head, contacts the surface of the section to be measured of the workpiece 6 and transmits a measuring signal, and is used to measure the roundness of the workpiece 6;

[0045] The coordinated adjustment of the angle adjustment mechanism 3 and the differential cylinder 9 enables the central axis of the roundness meter worktable 1 to accurately pass through the center of the sphere of the workpiece 6 to be measured.

[0046] The rotationally symmetric non-holosphere roundness measurement tool provided by the present invention achieves the following significant technical effects through a carefully designed structural combination, especially the coordinated use of the angle adjustment mechanism and the differential cylinder:

[0047] 1. Ensure that the measuring axis passes through the center of the sphere precisely, improving the accuracy of roundness measurement: Roughly adjust the workpiece inclination through the angle adjustment mechanism 3, and cooperate with the differential cylinder 9 to perform micron-level lateral precision adjustment on the sliding table 4. This ensures that the center of the workpiece 6 to be measured, on which the mandrel 7 is mounted, is precisely aligned with the central axis of the roundness meter table 1, thereby ensuring that the measuring axis passes through the center of the sphere, meeting the roundness measurement requirements of complex cross-sections to be measured.

[0048] 2. Supports measurement at different angles, expanding measurement adaptability and flexibility: The workbench base 2 can rotate around the central axis along with the roundness meter workbench 1, and can achieve arbitrary inclination angle setting through the angle adjustment mechanism. This makes the measurement not only limited to horizontal sections, but can also adapt to the roundness error analysis of spherical bodies and arbitrary oblique sections, significantly expanding the scope of application of the roundness meter.

[0049] Improve measurement alignment efficiency and reduce manual errors: The center axis of the worktable base 2 is strictly coaxial with the center axis of the roundness tester table 1, ensuring that the entire platform always moves around a fixed center during rotation. Combined with the high-precision position adjustment capability of the differential cylinder, this allows for rapid workpiece alignment, reducing manual recalibration and improving measurement efficiency and repeatability.

[0050] Fourth, the measurement process is stable and reliable, avoiding contact errors: The angle locking mechanism 8 rigidly locks the angle after setting, preventing measurement deviations caused by angle drift. Furthermore, the stable connection between the sliding table and the differential cylinder ensures smooth adjustment, effectively preventing interference such as bouncing and displacement of the stylus 5 when contacting the workpiece.

[0051] 5. Compact structure, easy operation, suitable for actual industrial application scenarios: The spatial layout of various components is compact and reasonable, and the angle adjustment and fine-tuning mechanisms are integrated into an integrated platform, which makes it convenient for users to quickly clamp workpieces and set measurement positions, thereby improving the overall operability and on-site applicability of the equipment.

[0052] In one embodiment, a positioning pin (not shown) is provided between the workbench base 2 and the roundness tester workbench 1 to ensure alignment of the central axes of the workbench base 2 and the roundness tester workbench 1. This structure avoids eccentricity caused by installation errors, thereby improving the accuracy of roundness measurement.

[0053] In one embodiment, the angle adjustment mechanism 3 is equipped with a coarse adjustment knob that cooperates with a differential cylinder 9 to achieve combined adjustment of large angles and micro-displacements. Rotating this knob drives the adjustment module to rotate within a wide range, enabling rapid setting of the initial tilt angle of the workpiece 6 being measured. The coarse adjustment mechanism is typically linked to the rotating shaft via a gear or worm mechanism, resulting in a simple structure and rapid response. The differential cylinder 9 is mounted on the micro-motion unit of the angle adjustment mechanism and utilizes a screw-type propulsion structure, offering high linear propulsion accuracy and anti-backlash performance. After coarse adjustment is completed, the operator can precisely control the angular displacement at the micrometer level by rotating the differential cylinder, ultimately precisely setting the tilt angle of the workpiece being measured. The rotation of the differential cylinder achieves fine angle adjustment via a fine-pitch thread, with graduated markings to aid visual reading. Furthermore, to ensure stability throughout the adjustment process, the angle adjustment mechanism is internally equipped with friction damping and limiter structures to effectively prevent mechanical shock during the coarse adjustment process from affecting the fine adjustment results.

[0054] In one embodiment, the angle locking mechanism 8 adopts a quick locking structure for quickly releasing the structure so that the angle adjustment mechanism 3 can adjust the inclination angle of the workpiece to be measured. After the angle adjustment mechanism 3 adjusts the inclination angle of the workpiece to be measured, the angle adjustment mechanism 3 is quickly locked. When it is necessary to adjust the inclination angle of the workpiece to be measured, the user only needs to easily operate the unlocking mechanism to flexibly adjust the angle adjustment mechanism; after the adjustment is completed, the set angle can be firmly locked through the quick locking mechanism to ensure that the adjustment accuracy is not offset due to equipment vibration or misoperation. This technical solution solves the problems of cumbersome adjustment steps, unstable locking, and the need to use tools of traditional locking mechanisms. It effectively improves the convenience of operation, measurement preparation efficiency and angle stability during the measurement process. It is particularly suitable for high-precision measurement scenarios that require frequent angle fine-tuning and repositioning.

[0055] In one embodiment, the differential cylinder 9 is a spiral structure with a fine adjustment precision function.

[0056] In one embodiment, the core shaft 7 and the sliding workbench 4 adopt a detachable connection structure to facilitate the replacement of workpieces 6 of different specifications.

[0057] In one embodiment, the workpiece 6 to be measured is a non-complete spherical rotationally symmetrical part.

[0058] In one embodiment, the sliding workbench 4 is provided with a guide rail system to ensure smooth movement of the differential cylinder during adjustment and avoid position deviation.

[0059] In one embodiment, the measuring rod 5 is connected to the roundness tester's measuring system (not shown) to automatically collect and transmit measurement data for measuring and recording the roundness of the workpiece 6 through the center of the sphere. The roundness errors of the cross-center sections at multiple angles relative to the equatorial section are calculated, with the largest roundness error value being considered the spherical error. Specifically, when measuring spherical error, data on the sphere's surface is typically acquired through a series of cross-center sections at different angles. Each section represents the shape of the sphere at different orientations. In practice, the following methods can be used to measure cross-sections: The equatorial section, located at the center plane of the sphere, is typically one of the most critical sections. Measuring the error of the equatorial section provides essential information about the sphere's shape. In addition to the equatorial section, the sphere is cut at multiple angles, such as 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 60°, and 90°. After obtaining the measurement data, the roundness of each section is fitted and the roundness error is calculated. Specifically, the difference between the fitted circle and the actual measurement point is used to determine the roundness error value for each section. Finally, among all the measured cross sections, the maximum roundness error is selected as the spherical error. Usually, this maximum value reflects the shape deviation of the sphere.

[0060] In one embodiment, the measuring system connected to the measuring rod 5 includes data recording and fitting software, which can draw polar coordinate diagrams and automatically calculate the roundness error of the measured section as the spherical error caused by the inconsistency of the spherical profile of the part's equator and the circular section passing through the center of the sphere and perpendicular to the equator.

[0061] The present invention also provides a method for using the above-mentioned rotationally symmetric non-holonomic spherical roundness measuring tool, comprising:

[0062] Step 11: Mount the workpiece 6 on the core shaft 7, and adjust the inclination angle and lateral position of the worktable through the angle adjustment mechanism 3 and the differential cylinder 9, so that the central axis of the roundness meter worktable 1 passes through the center of the sphere of the workpiece 6;

[0063] Step 12: Adjust the measuring rod 5 so that it contacts the section to be measured of the workpiece 6 to complete the initial positioning;

[0064] Step 13: driving the roundness tester table 1 to rotate, so that the workpiece 6 rotates synchronously with the roundness tester table 1, and the measuring rod 5 synchronously collects radial displacement data of each point of the cross section to be measured during the rotation process;

[0065] Step 14: Record the radial displacement variation of each point of the measured cross section of the workpiece 6 during the rotation process by the measuring system;

[0066] Step 15: Calculate the roundness error value of the measured section using the least square method;

[0067] Step 16: The analysis system draws a polar coordinate circularity diagram of the workpiece 6 to be measured, and analyzes the direction and distribution of the error.

[0068] Step 17: After completing the measurement of a specific section of the workpiece 6, the user can adjust the angle adjustment mechanism to a new inclination angle and repeat the above measurement steps. By collecting the roundness errors of multiple sections at different angles, a complete roundness error distribution map of the spherical part can be more accurately constructed in three-dimensional space, achieving a precise evaluation of the overall geometric accuracy of the spherical surface.

[0069] In one embodiment, during the measurement process, the roundness tester table 1 rotates at a constant, low speed to avoid spindle bounce or data jitter caused by high rotational speeds, thereby improving data acquisition stability and repeatability. This measure ensures that the measurement system responds stably to every angular displacement throughout the entire rotation cycle, and the data more accurately reflects changes in the workpiece contour.

[0070] In one embodiment, a high-precision displacement sensor is used to record the radial change data of the measuring rod in real time. The information collected by the sensor will be synchronously transmitted to the data processing module or computer system for subsequent roundness error calculation and fitting analysis, ensuring that the entire measurement process is automated and efficient.

[0071] In one embodiment, a least square method is used to fit a theoretical circle to the collected radial data points, and the difference between the maximum deviation and the minimum deviation is used as the roundness error value.

[0072] In one embodiment, in order to improve measurement stability and traceability, the coordinates of the initial contact point of the measuring rod 5 are recorded before each measurement and compared and verified after the measurement is completed to prevent measurement deviation caused by sliding error or installation disturbance and improve the consistency of the measurement process.

[0073] In one embodiment, the computer system converts the measured data into a polar coordinate graph to reflect the directional and periodic characteristics of the roundness error, which helps analyze the sources of manufacturing errors, such as machine tool spindle eccentricity and fixture deformation, and guides subsequent process optimization.

[0074] In one embodiment, this method is applicable to a variety of precision parts with spherical center geometry, such as spherical shells, ball sockets, and spherical bearings. Traditional methods often struggle to capture the spherical error of the entire sphere when measuring these workpieces, or when tilting plasticine parts, ensuring that the center of the sphere and the axis of rotation coincide. This method, through platform structural design and a fine-tuning mechanism, effectively resolves this issue and has broad engineering application prospects.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles of the invention and its practical application and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention and design various embodiments with various modifications as are suited for specific applications.
