Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of angle detection technology, and in particular to a method for detecting the angle of microholes on thin-walled parts. Background Technology
[0002] As the automotive engine industry develops towards higher precision and lower emissions, the requirements for injection angles in engines are becoming increasingly stringent, especially for methanol and ammonia-hydrogen injection systems, which require more precise injection angles. Currently, most engine injection actuators are micro-orifices (below 0.2mm) and thin-walled parts (below 0.5mm). The main method for angle detection is the pin insertion method, which involves inserting a small pin gauge into a small hole and measuring the angle of the pin gauge. This method has a large detection error, primarily because it is difficult to guarantee the fit clearance between the pin gauge and the micro-orifice. Secondly, the 0.2mm pin gauge is too small and easily bends, resulting in a large detection error. According to national standards, the unspecified tolerance for holes with a length of less than 10mm is ±1°, while the pin gauge method has a detection error exceeding 5°.
[0003] To this end, the applicant has conducted beneficial explorations and attempts, and found a solution to the above problems. The technical solution to be introduced below was developed in this context. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a method for detecting the micro-hole angle of thin-walled parts, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, ensuring accurate detection with an error not exceeding ±1°.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0006] A method for detecting the angle of micro-holes in thin-walled parts, comprising the following hardware: a five-axis coordinate measuring machine, a fiber optic lamp, a high-precision camera, standard spheres for each coordinate position, tooling, and a computer; and the method thereof: utilizing the accuracy of the three-axis coordinate measuring machine and the length of the fiber optic lamp to accurately detect the angle of the micro-slanted holes on the thin-walled parts.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the five-axis three-coordinate system is first calibrated using a standard sphere, and then the tooling and product are calibrated using optical methods to ensure that the tooling and product have an accurate positioning reference in the three-coordinate system of the five-axis three-coordinate system. Then, the fiber optic lamp is adjusted by moving and rotating in the XYZ directions to focus the light through the micro-hole, so that the high-precision camera captures the light from the micro-hole. Finally, the angle of each micro-hole is measured using a three-coordinate measurement program.
[0008] Explanation of the principle of this invention:
[0009] The accuracy of angle detection is related to length; the shorter the length, the greater the measurement error. To improve detection accuracy, the measurement of the micro-aperture needs to be extended. This invention uses an optical method to extend the micro-aperture. Utilizing the positioning accuracy of a three-axis coordinate system and the computational power of the program, the axial reference points of each direction of the five-axis three-axis coordinate system and the tooling reference points are first calibrated. Then, a high-precision camera captures the light emitted from the micro-aperture. After calibrating the focal length, the angle of the light emitted by the five-axis three-axis coordinate system is the angle of the micro-aperture on the product. The CGK value obtained by this method, as analyzed by the measurement system, conforms to national standards.
[0010] The advantages of this invention are as follows:
[0011] 1. The adoption of general-purpose testing equipment allows for wide adaptability;
[0012] 2. Fiber optic lights, high-precision cameras, etc., are easy to procure;
[0013] 3. The tooling is simple to fabricate and install;
[0014] 4. The measurement operation is simple, fast, and accurate.
[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0016] 1. Compared to imported testing equipment, this solution is simple, reliable, and low-cost;
[0017] 2. Accurate and efficient detection;
[0018] 3. Suitable for inspection and control of products with strict angle requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0023] like Figure 2Product 7 is installed on fixture 8. After positioning and locking, the fiber optic lamp 10 is adjusted to the center position of the micro-hole. Then, the fiber optic lamp 10 and fixture 4 are locked and fixed on the spindle of the five-axis three-coordinate 2. Then, the standard ball 5 of each coordinate axis in the three-coordinate X, Y and Z directions and the optical reference point 9 on fixture 4 are calibrated. After calibration, the position of product 7 is magnified and adjusted on the monitor of computer 1 so that the micro-hole is aligned with the high-precision camera 3. After accurate positioning, the software is started to measure all the holes according to the programmed content.
