Linear guides and sliders, as the most commonly used functional components, have a decisive influence on the overall accuracy of the equipment, and the parameters of the slider arc groove center distance play an important role in it. However, the current measurement of the arc groove size is only carried out in batches using a ball head gear micrometer, and the initial inspection and random inspection are carried out using a manual imager.

[0019] The embodiments of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Example:
[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a device for measuring the center distance of a slider circular arc groove comprises a base 1, on which square grooves of different sizes are opened as installation references for various components installed on the base 1, so that the installation positions of various components are accurate and reliable, a cushion block 18 is installed at the rear of the base 1, and a dovetail groove guide rail 2 that can move forward and backward in the X direction, a linear guide rail 3 that can move left and right in the Y direction, and a fixed seat 7 for placing a ball retainer are fixedly installed above the base 1. The dovetail groove guide rail 2 is equipped with an adjusting knob 25, a locking nut 26 and a Y-direction movement measuring mechanism. The adjusting knob 25 is responsible for supporting the entire Y-direction movement measuring mechanism to move forward and backward in the X direction, and the locking nut 26 is responsible for fixing the Y-direction movement measuring mechanism. The Y-direction movement measuring mechanism includes a cross guide rail 23, a micro knob 24, and a locking knob 22. When the micro knob 24 rotates, the cross guide rail 23 can be controlled to move the L-shaped bracket 20 left and right in the Y direction. The locking knob 22 is used to fix the L-shaped bracket 20. A clamping mechanism 21 is fixedly installed on the L-shaped bracket 20. An inductive probe 19 is installed between the L-shaped bracket 20 and the clamping mechanism 21. The inductive probe 19 obtains the measured value by sensing the moving distance of the moving seat 6, and then obtains the center distance value of the slider arc groove. The small cylinder at the end of the inductive probe 19 is connected to the connecting line, and then a display is connected to display the measurement result.
[0022] The linear guide rail 3 is provided with a slider 4 which can move left and right in the Y direction. The slider 4 and the right base 5 are fixed together by a connecting gasket 27. The right base 5 is installed on the slider 4 on the two linear guide rails 3, connecting the two guide rails into one, and carrying the right base 5 and the moving seat 6 for micro-movement.
[0023] The pad 18 is provided with a three-hole fixing frame 14, which has three holes, and two pairs of electromagnets 12 and a proximity switch 13 are respectively installed in the holes. The movable block 16 is pushed by adjusting the push rod 17 so that its top is respectively against the proximity switch 13 and the electromagnet 12, so that it is firmly fixed on the three-hole fixing frame 14. At the same time, there are snap rings 15 on both sides of the three-hole fixing frame 14 to play an auxiliary fixing role. During measurement, when the measured slider 11 moves from front to back in the X direction, the proximity switch 13 senses the approach of the measured slider 11, so that the electromagnet is energized, adsorbs the measured slider 11, and fixes it on the fixed seat 7 and the movable seat 6.
[0024] A spring guide mechanism is installed between the fixed seat 7 and the movable seat 6, which includes a spring guide sleeve 28, a spring fixed seat 29 and a tension spring 30. One end of the spring guide mechanism is fixed to the fixed seat 7 by bolts, and the other end is against the hole opened on the movable seat 6. Under the action of the spring, the movable seat 6 on the linear guide rail 3 can move slightly, so that the precision ball 10 can be in close contact with the arc raceway in the measured slider 11, preparing for the next step of measuring the inductive probe 19.
[0025] Reference Figure 3 The ball cage mechanism includes a rod body 8, a cage 9 and a precision ball 10. The rod body 8 is a segmented structure, and the connection is welded or bonded to the two ends of the separated rod body by arc bars. When the rod body material is metal, welding is adopted, and when the material is non-metal, bonding is adopted. The cage 9 is also installed on the rod body 8, which is in a semi-circular arc wrapping shape and is used to fix the precision ball 10 to prevent it from slipping. The ball cage mechanism has 4 as a whole, which are respectively installed on the 4 inner arc raceways of the measured slider 11. Each precision ball is against the arc raceway and is in close contact with it.
[0026] It should be further explained that the radius of each precision ball is the same as the radius of the arc raceway of the slider 11 to be measured.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 The clamping device 21 is composed of a lower cover 211, an upper cover 214, a cylindrical pin 212, a connecting ring 213, a top block 215, a limit locking knob 216 and an adjusting bolt 217. When the inductive probe 19 is clamped, the upper and lower covers are fastened by the connecting ring 213, the nut and the cylindrical pin 212, and then the adjusting bolt 217 is screwed to push the top block 215 until its tip contacts the measuring rod of the inductive probe 19. There are three top blocks, which are arranged in an equilateral triangle and can stably clamp the measuring rod without shaking. Under the joint action of the clamping device 21 and the L-shaped bracket 20, the probe part of the measuring rod 19 can be perpendicular to the surface of the moving seat 6 and can be parallel to the center line of the clamping device 21 and the center line of the hole on the L-shaped bracket 20, so that the final measurement result of the center distance of the slider arc groove is accurate and reliable.
[0028] Working process:
[0029] When the entire device is assembled intact, first, select a standard slider and slowly push the slider along the central axis direction of the four ball retainer rods 8 until the proximity switch 13 senses the approach of the standard slider. At this time, under the action of the proximity switch 13, the electromagnet 12 is energized to firmly adsorb the column slider. During the pushing process of the standard slider, the spring 30 is compressed along the central axis direction of the spring guide sleeve 28, and the moving seat 6 moves in the Y direction with the assistance of the linear guide 3. After the standard slider is adsorbed and fixed, under the action of the elastic force of the spring 30, the precision ball 10 is tightly in contact with the inner arc raceway of the standard slider. Then rotate the adjustment knob 25 to control the measuring rod 19 and its auxiliary parts to move in the X direction until they reach the position directly below the slider, then rotate the locking nut 26 to fix the X-direction movement of the measuring rod 19, then rotate the micro-motion knob 24 to move the measuring rod 19 and its auxiliary parts in the Y direction until the inductive probe 19 contacts the moving seat 6, then rotate the locking knob 22 to fix the movement in the Y direction, then read the measured value and record it, then rotate the locking nut 26 in the opposite direction to unlock it, and then rotate the adjustment knob 25 to move the measuring rod back and forth in the X direction, and record the value of the inductive probe at different positions. Finally, remove the standard slider and replace it with the measured slider 11, ensuring that the position of the measuring rod remains unchanged, and perform the same operation to record the value of the measuring rod change in the case of the standard slider and the measured slider. Since the center distance of the standard slider is known, the center distance parameter value of the arc groove raceway of the measured slider can be easily obtained through the change value.
[0030] The above embodiments only express the specific implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
