Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile micro-distance measurement, in particular to a thin-sheet micro-distance measuring device. Background Art

[0002] For gap measurement, the main existing measuring tool is the vernier caliper. After the vernier caliper is inserted into the gap, the inner measuring claws need to be manually adjusted to support both sides of the gap. In most cases, the vernier caliper needs to be taken out of the gap for reading. During the adjustment and removal process, the inner measuring claws may be touched, causing their position to change and thus affecting the measurement results; different forces applied during measurement will cause insufficient repeatability of the readings; and this process is time-consuming and laborious. Vernier caliper reading, especially mechanical reading, requires training, and needs to be identified with the naked eye, which takes a long time to read and is prone to errors. Vernier caliper readings usually need to be recorded manually, which greatly increases the workload and time, and manual entry has the risk of recording errors. The various deficiencies of vernier calipers in gap measurement applications are mainly due to the fact that all processes are manually operated. The operator's operating habits, operating force, proficiency, physical and mental state will have a great impact on the reading and recording of the results. Therefore, its measurement accuracy and repeatability cannot be reliably guaranteed, and the measurement speed and recording accuracy are even more difficult to meet the needs of the current market.

[0003] With the emergence of new technologies such as intelligent networking and the Internet of Things, automobile assembly methods are rapidly developing in the direction of electronics and intelligence, and automobile measurement is also developing.

[0004] The thin-film type macro distance measurement sensor is a device used to replace the traditional door gap measurement device in the car. As a new idea, the thin-film type macro distance measurement sensor uses the sensor to measure wirelessly through the wireless network and drives the micro grating ruler through the paddle to reduce the thickness of the equipment. Compared with the traditional measurement method, it is more convenient, more accurate and has a wider range of applications. It also reduces the errors caused by manual testing by operators.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] Through the personnel in this field, all the electrical components in this case are connected to their corresponding power supplies through wires, and a suitable controller should be selected according to the actual situation to meet the control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the following working principle, and the electrical connection between the electrical components is completed in the order of working in sequence. The detailed connection means are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and does not explain the electrical control.

[0030] See also Figure 1-2 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] Embodiment 1: A thin-sheet micro-distance measuring device, comprising a shell 1, a groove being provided on the shell 1, a paddle 2 being rotatably installed in the groove, a micro grating ruler 3 being embedded in the shell 1, and the design of using the paddle 2 to drive the micro grating ruler 3 reduces the thickness of the device, thereby making the device more applicable.

[0032] The paddle 2 includes a rotating shaft 201, which is rotatably arranged in a groove. A connecting rod 202 is integrally formed on the outer upper side of the rotating shaft 201. The connecting rod 202 coincides with the top view projection of the groove. The connecting rod 202 is obliquely angled with the horizontal direction. The groove is parallel to the sliding end of the micro grating ruler. A toggle portion 203 is integrally formed on the lower side of the rotating shaft 201. The toggle portion 203 is cylindrical.

[0033] A plurality of first circular holes 4 are provided on the outer wall of the housing 1 and located at the lower side of the groove, a backing plate 5 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1 and located at the front side or the rear side of the groove, the backing plate 5 is connected to the housing 1 by bolts, the backing plate 5 is in an "L" shape in the left view, a plurality of second circular holes 6 are provided on the lower side of the backing plate 5, and the opening direction of the second circular holes 6 is perpendicular to the first circular holes 4;

[0034] Specifically, the first circular hole 6 and the second circular hole are used to screw in bolts or embed magnets, and their main purpose is to fix the entire device.

[0035] A cover plate 7 is embedded on the lower side of the housing 1 and located away from the paddle 2, and a plurality of wiring ports are formed between the cover plate 7 and the housing 1;

[0036] Specifically, an electrical signal receiving end of the micro grating ruler 3 is also arranged on the outer side of the housing 1, which is generally composed of a battery and a single chip microcomputer. After receiving the electrical signal of the micro grating ruler 3, it is transmitted to the host end, and the distance is calculated by a formula;

[0037] Specifically, the basic logic of the algorithm is to calculate the change in resistance based on the changing electrical signal of the micro-grating ruler (add a serial number here), and then substitute the resistance coefficient of the resistor based on the fact that the length of the resistor is proportional to the resistance value (a linear function model) to calculate the change in the length of the resistor, which is the measured distance.

[0038] Specifically, during the test, the shell 1 is placed at the distance measuring place in advance, and then the distance measuring place is closed (this distance measuring place is generally a car door, and this distance measuring module is mainly used to measure the distance after the car door is closed). After closing, an external force presses down the paddle 2, pushing the micro grating ruler 3 to generate an electrical signal. When the measuring place is reopened, since the micro grating ruler 3 can rebound, the paddle 2 can also rebound, which is convenient for the next measurement.

[0044] According to the change of the resistance value of the micro-displacement measurement sensor, the corresponding voltage value V is obtained;

[0045] The corresponding displacement distance is calculated by the voltage value V.

[0046] Calculating the corresponding displacement distance by the voltage value V includes the following steps:

[0047] Use the standard block to obtain the corresponding relationship between the voltage value V and the standard value, and record the measured value of the test equipment when using the standard measuring block. The standard value in the standard block is the ordinate, and the measured value is the corresponding abscissa;

[0048] Based on the data obtained by the above method, the measured value is calculated by linear interpolation;

[0049] Establish a formula for linear interpolation measurement displacement:

The essence of this formula is to use the linear relationship between the known data points to calculate the vertical coordinate Y of the unknown data point through interpolation;

[0052] Specifically, the number of the plurality of measuring terminals can be flexibly selected according to the needs of the user, and any number between one and twenty can be smoothly connected to the host terminal.
