[0011] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0012] Please refer to Figures 1-2The present invention provides a technical solution: a measuring tool for measuring the size of a groove to be measured, comprising a first positioning seat 1 and a second positioning seat 2 connected by a crossbeam 3, and a part to be measured 11 placed below the first positioning seat 1 and the second positioning seat 2, wherein the part to be measured 11 is provided with a groove to be measured.
[0013] The first positioning seat 1 is connected to the slide rod 4 via an elastic mechanism, which includes a compression spring 7. A spring groove is formed inside the slide rod 4. A cylindrical pin 6 is mounted on the first positioning seat 1. The two ends of the compression spring 7 are respectively mounted in the spring groove and on the cylindrical pin 6. The compression spring 7 provides an upward force to the measuring mechanism, causing the measuring pin 5 to contact the groove to be measured, and also causing the extension on the slide rod 4 to have an upward tendency.
[0014] The end of the slide rod 4 is provided with a measuring pin 5, which extends into the groove to be measured. The side wall of the slide rod 4 is provided with an extension, and the crossbeam 3 is provided with a dial indicator 10, the needle of the dial indicator 10 engaging with the extension. The crossbeam 3 is provided with a socket, and the dial indicator 10 is fixed in the socket by a set screw.
[0015] The sliding rod 4 has a knurled small-head screw 8 at its head end, which passes through the crossbeam 3. During measurement, the knurled small-head screw 8 serves to manually adjust the sliding rod 4. The measuring pin 5 forms a hook shape with the end of the sliding rod 4, and the upper surface of the measuring pin 5 contacts the lower surface of the groove to be measured in the part to be measured 11.
[0016] The slide bar 4 is fastened to the first positioning seat 1 by the cover plate 9, which restricts the slide bar 4 from sliding in the first positioning seat 1 and ensures the stability of its movement.
[0017] The present invention also provides a method of use, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Before measurement, insert the dial indicator 10 into the crossbeam 3 through the socket and fix the dial indicator 10 with the set screw. Before fixing, move the dial indicator 10 up and down to adjust it so that the needle is in a suitable position to ensure that the needle can extend and retract freely during the measurement process. Step two: When the part is in a flat position during or after processing, the measuring tool is placed directly on the end face of the part to be measured via the first positioning seat 1 and the second positioning seat 2. Move the measuring tool and adjust the knurled small head screw 8 to insert the slide rod 4 into the groove to be measured in the part, so that the upper surface of the measuring pin 5 contacts the lower surface of the groove to be measured in the part 11. Then, the slide rod 4 is pushed upward to the top by the compression spring 7. At this time, the extension of the slide rod 4 pushes the needle of the dial indicator 10 to complete the measurement process. Step 3: After the measurement is completed, push the knurled small head screw 8 to disengage the upper surface of the measuring pin 5 from the lower surface of the groove to be measured in the part 11, to prevent the measuring tool from moving during contact and scratching the surface of the part; at this time, move the measuring tool to move the slide bar 4 to a suitable position in the groove to be measured, remove the measuring tool from the part, and complete the measurement task.
[0018] The solution achieves measurement using a reverse hook structure of the measuring tool. Innovatively, by installing a measuring pin 5 on the slide rod 4, the measurement direction is changed. This allows two measuring surfaces that were originally not directly detectable to directly contact each other in opposite directions after the measuring pin 5 is installed, thus enabling direct measurement of the dimensions of the groove to be measured.
[0019] Working Principle: Utilizing a measuring tool capable of reverse hook measurement, an innovative design involves installing a measuring pin 5 on the slide rod 4 to reverse the measurement direction. This allows two previously inaccessible measuring surfaces to directly contact each other after the measuring pin 5 is installed, enabling direct measurement of the mounting groove dimensions and eliminating errors caused by indirect dimensional measurements. The measuring tool employs two mounting bases, forming a double-column structure. During measurement, the two mounting bases overlap at both ends of the diameter of the disc-shaped part, ensuring stable and reliable measurement.
[0020] Traditional measurement methods cannot directly measure the dimensions of the groove to be tested. It is necessary to obtain the dimensions indirectly through conversion from measurements of related dimensions. For example... Figure 2 As shown, dimensions B and C can be obtained directly by measurement, and dimension A can be indirectly obtained by subtracting dimension C from dimension B. The drawback of traditional measurement methods is that they are indirect measurements, introducing more dimensions through conversion, which increases measurement error.
[0021] On the one hand, by introducing a reverse hook measurement method into the measuring instrument, direct contact measurement is achieved, which is not possible with traditional general measurement methods. On the other hand, the measuring instrument adopts two mounting bases to achieve a double column structure. The two mounting bases overlap at both ends of the diameter of the part during measurement, ensuring stability and reliability during the measurement process. If only one mounting base is used, a sliding rod structure needs to be installed on one side of the mounting base during the use of the measuring instrument, resulting in structural asymmetry and easy tilting to one side during measurement.
[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
