Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plate thickness measurement equipment, and more particularly to a thickness measurement system. Background Technology

[0002] Thickness measuring devices typically utilize laser rangefinders. These devices include a mounting frame with a laser rangefinder fixed at the top and bottom. Each rangefinder has a downward-facing and an upward-facing working end. The object to be measured is placed in the center, and the two working ends emit laser beams that contact the top and bottom surfaces of the object to obtain distance values, thus calculating the object's thickness. Such laser thickness measuring devices can also be used to measure the thickness of sheet metal. However, in practice, the sheet metal must be strictly level, requiring the use of a level for adjustment. This adjustment process is time-consuming, thus reducing overall work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a thickness measurement system that solves the problem that the time-consuming horizontal adjustment of the sheet material in existing technologies does not improve overall work efficiency.

[0004] According to an embodiment, a thickness measurement system is provided, comprising an outer casing with a first inlet and a second inlet respectively located at opposite ends of the casing. Multiple idlers arranged from the first inlet to the second inlet are also disposed within the outer casing, with all idlers on the same horizontal plane. The outer casing has an inner top surface and an inner bottom surface, on which a first distance measuring instrument and a second distance measuring instrument are respectively disposed. The first distance measuring instrument has a downward-facing working end, and the second distance measuring instrument has an upward-facing working end. A downward-extending pressing component is also disposed on the inner top surface. In this solution, the outer casing is equivalent to a mounting frame in the prior art, providing a mounting base for the first and second distance measuring instruments located above and below. However, it differs from a mounting frame in that the measurement is performed in a more enclosed space. Furthermore, during measurement, the bottom of the sheet material contacts the idlers, and the pressing component applies downward pressure to the sheet material, thereby enabling the sheet material to be leveled more quickly, saving overall time and improving overall work efficiency. This solves the problem in the prior art where the time required for leveling the sheet material is too long, hindering overall work efficiency.

[0005] Furthermore, a through frame is provided on the inner top surface, and mounting holes are provided on both sides of the through frame. The pressing components are two sets, each including an outer cylinder that is snapped into the mounting hole. A guide rod is telescopically provided inside the outer cylinder, and the lower end of the guide rod is connected to an arc-shaped top head located below the outer cylinder. The arc-shaped top head has a downward-facing arc-shaped top surface.

[0006] Furthermore, the guide rod includes a first rod segment that extends upward through the outer cylinder and a second rod segment that extends downward through the outer cylinder. The first rod segment and the second rod segment are detachably connected. The arc-shaped top is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second rod segment. A spring located inside the outer cylinder is arranged around the first rod segment.

[0007] Furthermore, a sliding ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first rod segment, and the upper end of the second rod segment is threadedly connected to the sliding ring, with the sliding ring slidingly engaging with the inner wall of the outer cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the arc-shaped top includes a first arc segment and a second arc segment arranged symmetrically, with the arc-shaped top surface located between the two.

[0009] Furthermore, two idlers are provided directly below the arc-shaped top head, and the first arc segment and the second arc segment can respectively abut against one idler.

[0010] Furthermore, the first rangefinder consists of two sets located outside the two mounting holes, while the second rangefinder consists of one set located between the two mounting holes.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second rangefinders include a body fixedly connected to the outer casing and located outside the outer casing, with the working end connected to the body and extending inward into the outer casing.

[0012] Furthermore, two magnetic blocks are installed on the inner bottom surface, located between the two mounting holes and outside the second rangefinder, with the top surface of the magnetic blocks located below the top surface of the roller.

[0013] Furthermore, rollers located on both sides of the second rangefinder are also provided between the two magnetic blocks.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The outer casing provides a mounting base for the first and second rangefinders, allowing measurements to be taken in a more enclosed space, reducing external adverse factors. During measurement, the bottom of the board contacts the roller, and the downward pressure component applies pressure to the board, enabling it to be leveled more quickly, thus saving overall time and improving overall work efficiency. This solves the problem in existing technologies where the time required for leveling the board is too long, resulting in a lack of overall work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a thickness measurement system, which includes an outer shell 1. The outer shell 1 may extend longitudinally, and a first inlet 2 and a second inlet 3 are respectively provided at the two ends facing each other. Multiple idler rollers 4 are also provided inside the outer shell 1, arranged from the first inlet 2 to the second inlet 3, and all idler rollers 4 are on the same horizontal plane. A sheet material 5 can enter the outer shell 1 through the first inlet 2 and / or the second inlet 3, and the lower surface of the sheet material 5 contacts the idler rollers 4. The idler rollers 4 and the outer shell 1 can be rotatably arranged (i.e., the idler rollers 4 are self-rotating inside the outer shell 1), so that the sheet material 5 and the idler rollers 4 are in rolling contact, and the sheet material 5 can smoothly enter or exit the outer shell 1. Furthermore, the outer shell 1 in this solution has an inner top surface and an inner bottom surface, and a first rangefinder 6 and a second rangefinder 7 are respectively provided on the inner top surface and the inner bottom surface. The first rangefinder 6 and the second rangefinder 7 are similar to those in the prior art, both being laser-guided. Each optical rangefinder includes a main body 8 and a working end 9 connected to the main body 8. The working end 9 of the first rangefinder 6 is set downwards, and the working end 9 of the second rangefinder 7 is set upwards. The main body 8 is fixed outside the outer shell 1. The working end 9 is connected to the main body 8 and extends inwards into the outer shell 1. When the first rangefinder 6 and the second rangefinder 7 are working, their working ends 9 emit laser beams downwards and upwards respectively, and contact the upper and lower surfaces of the plate 5 to obtain distance values. In this way, the thickness of the object to be measured can be calculated. In particular, this solution also has a downwardly retractable pressing component on the inner top surface. The pressing component applies pressure to the plate 5 from top to bottom before measurement, so that the plate 5 can be leveled more quickly, thereby saving overall time and improving overall work efficiency. This solves the problem that the existing technology requires a long time to adjust the plate 5 to be level, which makes the overall work efficiency not improved.

[0018] like Figure 1-4As shown, in the detailed scheme, a through frame 10 is provided on the inner top surface of the outer shell 1. Two sets of pressing components are located on both sides of the through frame 10. Two sets of first rangefinders 6 are located outside the two sets of pressing components, while a second rangefinder 7 can be located between the two sets of pressing components. This allows the first inlet 2 and the second inlet 3 to alternately feed the plate 5, making thickness measurement more efficient. More specifically, the outer shell 1 also has two mounting holes on both sides of the through frame 10. The pressing components each include an outer cylinder 11 that engages with the mounting holes. The outer cylinder 11 can have a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom (i.e., the diameter of the upper end is larger than the diameter of the lower end), allowing the outer cylinder 11 to be stably positioned on the top surface of the outer shell 1. The outer shell 1 also extends... The guide rod is connected to the outer cylinder 11. The guide rod includes a first rod section 12 that extends upward through the outer cylinder 11 and a second rod section 13 that extends downward through the outer cylinder 11. The lower end of the first rod section 12 is fixedly connected to a sliding ring 14 that slides with the inner wall of the outer cylinder 11. The upper end of the second rod section 13 is threadedly connected to the sliding ring 14, and the lower end of the second rod section 13 is also fixedly connected to an arc-shaped top head. The arc-shaped top head is provided with a downward arc-shaped top surface 15. The arc-shaped top surface 15 can abut against the upper surface of the plate 5, thereby positioning the plate 5 on the roller 4. More specifically, a spring 16 is also provided inside the outer cylinder 11, surrounding the first rod section 12 and abutting against the sliding ring 14. The spring 16 provides elastic force so that the arc-shaped top head can adapt to plates 5 of different thicknesses.

[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the detailed scheme, the arc-shaped top head includes a symmetrically arranged first arc segment 17 and a second arc segment 18, with the arc-shaped top surface 15 located between and lower than both, so that the arc-shaped top surface 15 can smoothly contact the plate 5. The first arc segment 17 and the second arc segment 18 extend obliquely in the direction directly opposite the first inlet 2 and the second inlet 3, respectively. In this way, when the plate 5 enters, it first contacts the arc surface of the first arc segment 17 or the second arc segment 18, which can apply an upward thrust to make the arc-shaped top head move upward, thereby smoothly entering the working range of the first rangefinder 6 and the second rangefinder 7. Furthermore, in this scheme, the upper end of the first rod segment 12 is located on the outer cylinder 11. In this way, the operator can raise the arc-shaped top by lifting the first rod segment 12, and then lower it after the plate 5 reaches the position to achieve the purpose of the arc-shaped top abutting against the plate 5. Furthermore, two rollers 4 are set directly below the arc-shaped top, and the first arc segment 17 and the second arc segment 18 can abut against one roller 4 respectively. When the first arc segment 17 and the second arc segment 18 of the arc-shaped top abut against the two rollers 4, they are at their lowest position, and at this time the first rod segment 12 also has an end located above the outer cylinder 11, and the sliding ring 14 is also located inside the outer cylinder 11. More specifically, the pressing components on both sides can also be observed and inspected and maintained through the through frame 10.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in a further embodiment, two magnetic blocks 19 are installed on the inner bottom surface on both sides of the second rangefinder 7, and the top surface of the magnetic blocks 19 is located below the top surface of the roller 4. If the measured material is a magnetic plate 5, the magnetic blocks 19 can also provide downward attraction to assist the pressing component in positioning the plate 5 more stably on the roller 4 and maintaining a more stable horizontal state to further ensure smooth measurement. More specifically, rollers 4 are also provided between the two magnetic blocks 19 on both sides of the second rangefinder 7. In this way, the rollers 4 better prevent the plate 5 from accidentally contacting the magnetic blocks 19 downwards, thus preventing the plate 5 from being accidentally damaged.

[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
