[0002] The aviation industry places extremely high demands on the precision of pipes, especially in high-pressure and high-speed environments such as engines, aircraft fuel, and hydraulic systems. Existing measurement equipment typically uses contact methods to measure pipe diameter and wall thickness, which has many limitations. With technological advancements, non-contact measurement technologies have gradually developed and entered the market. Among these, non-contact measurement methods using technologies such as lasers and ultrasonic waves enable precise measurements without contacting the pipe surface.

For one thing, poorly designed clamping mechanisms result in insufficient inner wall clamping force and poor stability, while outer wall clamping is unstable and has low positioning accuracy. This leads to the tubing easily shaking during measurement, affecting the accuracy of the results.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0035] Example 1: This example provides a mechanism for measuring the diameter and wall thickness of aviation pipes. Figures 1-8 , specifically, it includes a base plate 100, a clamping assembly, and a swing arm mechanism. The base plate 100 serves as the basic support member of the entire mechanism, carrying various components and stably placing them through the legs. A parallel hollow plate 200 is provided above the base plate 100. The hollow plate 200 provides an installation basis for the I-shaped slide rail 201, the fixed plate 300, etc. The rectangular through hole in the middle facilitates the operation of the structure below. A rectangular through hole is opened in the middle of the hollow plate 200. A fixed plate 300 is fixed in the middle of the top surface of the hollow plate 200. The fixed plate 300 is connected to the hollow ring 301, the fixed slide plate 102, etc., and is a carrier for placing the aviation pipe 109 and installing some components. A hollow ring 301 is fixed in the middle of the top surface of the fixed plate 300. The hollow ring 301 provides an installation basis for the clamping assembly and is concentrically distributed with the aviation pipe 109 to assist in positioning. The aviation pipe 109 concentrically distributed with the hollow ring 301 is placed on the fixed plate 300.

[0036] The inner surface of the hollow ring 301 is fixed with four evenly distributed rectangular sleeves 302. The rectangular sleeves 302 guide the sliding of the rectangular slides 305. A rectangular slide 305 is slidably inserted into the interior of each rectangular sleeve 302. The rectangular slides 305 slide within the rectangular sleeve 302 to achieve clamping or loosening. The outer end of each rectangular slide 305 is connected to the inner wall of the aviation pipe 109 through a clamping assembly.

[0037] A pair of symmetrically distributed I-shaped slide rails 201 are fixed on both sides of the top surface of the hollow plate 200. The I-shaped slide rails 201 provide guidance and support for the movement of the U-shaped slide plate 202. Each I-shaped slide rail 201 is fixed to the fixed plate 300. A U-shaped slide plate 202 is slidably fitted on each I-shaped slide rail 201. The U-shaped slide plate 202 drives the connecting plate 203 and the Z-shaped clamping plate 204 to move, thereby adjusting the clamping position of the outer wall. A swing arm mechanism is installed between the U-shaped slide plate 202 and the I-shaped slide rail 201 on the same side.

[0038] A connecting plate 203 is fixedly provided in the middle of the top surface of each U-shaped slide 202. The connecting plate 203 connects the U-shaped slide 202 and the Z-shaped clamping plate 204, and transmits the movement of the U-shaped slide 202 to the Z-shaped clamping plate 204. A Z-shaped clamping plate 204 is fixedly provided on the top end of each connecting plate 203. The Z-shaped clamping plate 204 is pressed against both sides of the aviation pipe 109 through the V-shaped notch 205 to achieve outer wall clamping. A V-shaped notch 205 is opened on the top of each Z-shaped clamping plate 204. The V-shaped notch 205 plays a preliminary clamping and fixing role. A first laser rangefinder 206 is installed inside, and a pair of V-shaped notches 205 are respectively pressed against both sides of the aviation pipe 109.

[0039] In the specific implementation process, Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a pair of symmetrically distributed rectangular sliding holes are opened on both sides of the elliptical connecting plate 106, and a pair of symmetrically distributed fixed slides 102 are fixed on both sides of the bottom surface of the fixed plate 300. The fixed slides 102 limit the movement direction of the elliptical connecting plate 106 so that the elliptical connecting plate 106 can only slide along them. The bottom end of each fixed slide 102 slides through the corresponding rectangular sliding hole and is fixed to the top surface of the bottom plate 100;

[0040] A threaded barrel 108 is fixedly provided in the middle of the elliptical connecting plate 106. The threaded barrel 108 converts the rotational motion of the lead screw 104 into the up and down translation of the elliptical connecting plate 106. A threaded lead screw 104 is inserted into the threaded barrel 108. The lead screw 104 rotates under the drive of the servo motor 103 and drives the elliptical connecting plate 106 and the fixed shaft 105 to move by cooperating with the threaded barrel 108. The top end of the lead screw 104 is coaxially fixed to the bottom end of the fixed shaft 105.

[0041] A square through hole is opened in the middle of the top surface of the base plate 100, and a servo motor 103 with the output end facing upward is fixedly installed inside the square through hole. The servo motor 103 provides power to drive the screw 104 to rotate, and is the power source for the movement of the entire mechanism. The motor shaft end of the servo motor 103 is coaxially fixed to the bottom end of the screw 104.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a first notch is opened in the middle of the V-shaped notch 205. A first laser rangefinder 206 is fixedly installed inside the first notch. The laser emitting end of the first laser rangefinder 206 is perpendicular to the outer wall of the aviation tube 109. The first laser rangefinder 206 emits laser light toward the outer wall of the aviation tube 109 to measure data related to the outer diameter.

[0043] A pair of second notches are formed at the outer ends of the pair of rectangular slides 305 on the left and right sides. Second laser rangefinders 307 are fixedly installed inside the second notches. The laser emitting end of the second laser rangefinder 307 is perpendicular to the inner wall of the aviation tube 109. The second laser rangefinder 307 emits laser light toward the inner wall of the aviation tube 109 to measure data related to the inner diameter.

[0044] A pair of symmetrically distributed U-shaped plates 101 are fixed on both sides of the top surface of the base plate 100. The U-shaped plates 101 connect the base plate 100 and the hollow plate 200 to support the hollow plate 200. The two sides of the bottom surface of the hollow plate 200 are respectively fixed to a pair of U-shaped plates 101. Support legs are fixed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the base plate 100. Several equally distributed first anti-slip grooves are opened on the two side walls of the V-shaped notch 205, and several equally distributed second anti-slip grooves are opened on the outer side of the rubber splint 309.

[0045] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the aviation tube 109 is stably placed on the fixed plate 300, ensuring that the aviation tube 109 and the hollow ring 301 are concentrically distributed. Then, the servo motor 103 is started, and the motor shaft of the servo motor 103 begins to rotate, driving the lead screw 104, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the servo motor 103 and the fixed shaft 105, which is fixedly connected to the top end of the lead screw 104, to rotate synchronously.

[0046] Since the lead screw 104 is threadedly connected to the threaded barrel 108 fixed in the middle of the elliptical connecting plate 106, as the lead screw 104 rotates, the threaded barrel 108 drives the elliptical connecting plate 106 to slide downward along the pair of fixed slides 102 under the action of the thread transmission; the elliptical connecting plate 106 drives the U-shaped slide 202 to translate inward along the I-shaped slide rail 201 through the swing arm mechanism, and the connecting plate 203 and Z-shaped clamping plate 204 fixed on the top surface of the U-shaped slide 202 also translate toward the aviation pipe 109 synchronously. Finally, the pair of Z-shaped clamping plates 204 with V-shaped notches 205 are pressed against the outer walls of the aviation pipe 109 on both sides, thereby achieving preliminary clamping and fixing of the aviation pipe 109;

[0047] At the same time, as the fixed shaft 105 descends, the rectangular slide 305 is driven by the clamping assembly to slide outward along the rectangular sleeve 302. The rectangular sleeve 302 is fixed to the inner surface of the hollow ring 301. Each rubber splint 309 then rests on the inner wall of the aviation pipe 109, forming a secondary clamping fixation for the aviation pipe 109, ensuring that the aviation pipe 109 is stable and does not shake during the measurement process.

[0048] After the double clamping and fixation of the aviation pipe 109 is completed, the measurement work is immediately carried out. The first laser rangefinder 206 is installed in the first notch in the middle of the V-shaped notch 205, and its laser emitting end is perpendicular to the outer wall of the aviation pipe 109; the second laser rangefinder 307 is located in the second notch at the outer end of the rectangular slide 305 on the left and right sides, and its laser emitting end is perpendicular to the inner wall of the aviation pipe 109; the first laser rangefinder 206 and the second laser rangefinder 307 simultaneously emit laser pulses to the inner and outer walls of the aviation pipe 109. Using the principle of pulse laser ranging, by measuring the time t from the light pulse being emitted to the light pulse being reflected by the target and returning to the receiver, combined with the propagation speed c of light in air, according to the formula , calculate the inner and outer diameter dimensions of the aviation pipe 109, and then obtain the wall thickness dimension of the aviation pipe 109, to achieve accurate measurement.

[0049] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this example improves the structure of the clamping assembly and utilizes the coordination of parts such as the T-shaped slide bar 310 and the tension spring 311 to solve the problems of insufficient clamping force and poor stability of the inner wall of the aviation tube 109, thereby achieving more reliable fixation of the aviation tube 109. The invention also includes:

[0050] In the specific implementation process, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a T-shaped slide bar 310 and a rubber splint 309. The outer end of the rectangular slide 305 is fixed with a vertically distributed fixed connecting plate 308. The fixed connecting plate 308 provides an installation and sliding basis for the T-shaped slide bar 310. A pair of positioning sliding holes are opened at the top and middle of the fixed connecting plate 308. A T-shaped slide bar 310 is slidably inserted into the interior of each positioning sliding hole. The T-shaped slide bar 310 is connected to the rubber splint 309 and moves with the rectangular slide 305 and fits the rubber splint 309 under the action of the tension spring 311. The outer ends of a pair of T-shaped slide bars 310 are respectively fixed to the upper and lower ends of the rubber splint 309. The rubber splint 309 is firmly clamped under the action of the tension spring 311. The anti-slip groove on the outer side enhances the friction. The outer side of the rubber splint 309 is against the inner wall of the aviation pipe 109. The outer end of each T-shaped slide bar 310 is sleeved with a tension spring 311. The tension spring 311 causes the rubber splint 309 to fit closely to the inner wall of the aviation pipe 109 through elastic tension, thereby enhancing the clamping force.

[0051] The middle part of the fixed plate 300 is rotated and inserted with a fixed shaft 105 that is distributed throughout. The fixed shaft 105 is coaxially fixed to the lead screw 104 and rotates with it, driving the turntable 303 in the clamping assembly to rotate, thereby driving the rectangular slide 305 to slide. The top part of the fixed shaft 105 is sleeved with a concentrically fixed turntable 303. The turntable 303 rotates with the fixed shaft 105 and drives the rectangular slide 305 to slide through the arc pin hole 304 and the limit pin shaft 306. There are four evenly spaced holes on the turntable 303. The distributed arc-shaped pin holes 304 cooperate with the limit pin shaft 306. When the turntable 303 rotates, the limit pin shaft 306 is driven and the rectangular slide 305 is driven to slide. A limit pin shaft 306 is slidably inserted into the interior of each arc-shaped pin hole 304. The limit pin shaft 306 transmits the power of the turntable 303 to the rectangular slide 305. A U-shaped notch is opened at the end of each rectangular slide 305, and each limit pin shaft 306 is fixedly inserted in the corresponding U-shaped notch.

[0052] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the fixed shaft 105 begins to rotate, the rotating disk 303, which is concentrically fixed thereto, rotates synchronously therewith. The evenly distributed arc-shaped pin holes 304 on the rotating disk 303 cooperate with the limiting pins 306 to form a precise limiting guide mechanism. As the arc-shaped pin holes 304 rotate, the limiting pins 306 are driven by them, thereby driving the rectangular slide 305 to slide outward along the rectangular sleeve 302.

[0053] At this time, the fixed connecting plate 308 fixed to the outer end of the rectangular slide 305, as well as the pair of T-shaped slide bars 310 and the rubber clamping plate 309 connected to the fixed connecting plate 308 through the positioning slide holes, also move outward together; the tension spring 311 mounted on the outer end of the T-shaped slide bar 310 starts to work after the rubber clamping plate 309 contacts the inner wall of the aviation pipe 109, and its elastic tension forces the rubber clamping plate 309 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the pipe, thereby achieving a stable clamping.

[0054] As the fixed shaft 105 and the turntable 303 continue to rotate, the T-shaped slide bar 310 slides further in the positioning slide hole, and the tension spring 311 is continuously compressed and deformed, continuously increasing the clamping force of the rubber splint 309 on the inner wall of the aviation pipe 109, thereby ensuring that the aviation pipe 109 always remains stable during the measurement process, avoiding affecting the measurement accuracy due to loose clamping.

[0055] Example 3: Based on Example 2, this example focuses on optimizing the swing arm mechanism. By designing the L-shaped swing arm 209, the first elliptical pin hole 210, the second elliptical pin hole 211, and the first pin shaft 207 and the second pin shaft 107, the problem of insufficient transmission stability and poor positioning accuracy during the clamping process of the outer wall of the aviation pipe 109 is solved, achieving a more stable and precise clamping action. The following also includes:

[0056] In the specific implementation process, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the swing arm mechanism includes an L-shaped swing arm 209, and a pair of symmetrically distributed fixed pins 208 are rotatably inserted at the front and rear sides of the I-shaped slide rail 201. The fixed pins 208 serve as the hinge axis of the L-shaped swing arm 209, so that the L-shaped swing arm 209 can swing around it. The outer end of each fixed pin 208 is fixed with an L-shaped swing arm 209, and the L-shaped swing arm 209 connects the elliptical connecting plate 106 and the U-shaped slide plate 202, converting the translation of the elliptical connecting plate 106 into the sliding of the U-shaped slide plate 202. The top portion of each L-shaped swing arm 209 is provided with a first elliptical pin hole 210, and the front and rear sides of the U-shaped slide plate 202 are fixed with a pair of symmetrically distributed first pins 207, and the outer end of each first pin 207 is slidably inserted in the first elliptical pin hole 210 on the same side. The first pin 207 is slidably inserted in the first elliptical pin hole 210 to transmit the power of the L-shaped swing arm 209 to the U-shaped slide plate 202;

[0057] The bottom end of each L-shaped swing arm 209 is provided with a second elliptical pin hole 211, and a suspended elliptical connecting plate 106 is provided between the bottom plate 100 and the fixed plate 300. The elliptical connecting plate 106 converts the rotational motion of the screw 104 into the sliding of the U-shaped slide 202. The two ends of the elliptical connecting plate 106 are respectively located between the bottom ends of the two pairs of L-shaped swing arms 209. The two ends of the elliptical connecting plate 106 are fixed with a pair of second pin shafts 107 distributed through them. The two ends of each second pin shaft 107 are slidably inserted in the corresponding second elliptical pin hole 211. The second pin shaft 107 is slidably inserted in the second elliptical pin hole 211 to transmit the power of the elliptical connecting plate 106 to the L-shaped swing arm 209.

[0058] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the elliptical connecting plate 106 moves downward in a coordinated manner under the coordinated action of the servo motor 103, the lead screw 104 and other components, the second pins 107 fixed at both ends of the elliptical connecting plate 106 cooperate with the second elliptical pin holes 211 at the bottom end of the L-shaped swing arm 209. With the help of a sophisticated limit guide mechanism, the L-shaped swing arm 209 is guided to swing with the fixed pin 208 as the axis.

[0059] During the swinging process of the L-shaped swing arm 209, the first elliptical pin hole 210 at its top end forms a precise limiting constraint relationship with the first pin shafts 207 on the front and rear sides of the U-shaped slide 202. As the L-shaped swing arm 209 swings, the first elliptical pin hole 210 drives the first pin shafts 207, driving the U-shaped slide 202 to slide smoothly inward along the I-shaped slide rail 201.

[0060] The sliding of the U-shaped slide 202 further drives the connecting plate 203 and the Z-shaped clamping plate 204 fixed on its top surface to move synchronously, and finally a pair of Z-shaped clamping plates 204 with V-shaped notches 205 are accurately pressed against the two sides of the outer wall of the aviation pipe 109, thereby achieving a stable and precise clamping action on the outer wall of the aviation pipe 109, providing a reliable positioning basis for the subsequent pipe diameter and wall thickness measurement.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
