Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of measuring devices, and in particular to a length measuring instrument. Background Art
[0002] In industrial manufacturing enterprises, vernier calipers are commonly used to measure length, and the accuracy is generally accurate to 0.02 mm. If the requirements are higher, micrometers are also used. Due to the limitations of the thread structure (geometric dimensions, strength, rigidity, etc.), the pitch of the micrometer is 0.5 mm, and the periphery of the movable sleeve is divided into 50 equal parts. The reading corresponding to each grid is 0.01 mm. If the reading is estimated to be one decimal place, the measurement accuracy is difficult to improve.
[0003] The development of modern industrial technology has put forward higher and higher requirements for the machining accuracy of parts. When the enterprise debugs the equipment for bearing finishing production, if the outer diameter micrometer is used for measurement, the detection effect is not ideal, because the outer ring accuracy of the bearing itself is at the micron level. It is best to use a higher-level measuring instrument to obtain more accurate measurement data and control the outer diameter size within a more reasonable size range. Especially when measuring parts at critical sizes, it is difficult to accurately judge whether they are qualified without using a higher-level measuring instrument, and it is easy to misjudge. Therefore, it is very necessary to design an ultra-high-level length measuring instrument.
[0004] In addition, it is also necessary to ensure the efficiency of measurement during high-precision measurement. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by this application easy to understand, this application is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0026] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", "down", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application rather than requiring that the present application must be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. The terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", and "down" used in the description of the present application refer to the directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inside" and "outside" refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present application discloses a length measuring instrument, including a main measuring frame 01, a conventional micrometer, a double-helix micrometer screw 14, and a dynamic measuring frame 02. The main measuring frame 01 includes a measuring frame body and a small measuring frame fixed to the upper right end of the measuring frame body. The small measuring frame is provided with a through hole 3, and the measuring frame body is provided with a through hole 1 012 and a through hole 2 013 parallel to the through hole 3. A screw sleeve 3 24 is fixed to the left end of the through hole 1 012; the conventional micrometer includes a conventional micrometer screw 04 arranged on the through hole 3 and a first rotation driving group for driving the conventional micrometer screw 04; the double-helix micrometer screw 14 includes a left section screw 24 coaxially arranged in sequence The left and right spiral sections 141, 143 have the same rotation direction and different pitches; the left spiral section 141 is threadedly connected in the screw sleeve 24, and the right spiral section 143 is connected with a second rotation drive group for driving the right spiral section 143; the dynamic measuring frame 02 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the left end of the screw sleeve 24, and the dynamic measuring frame 02 is slidably connected through the guide shaft 25 and the through hole 2 013, and the dynamic measuring frame 02 is connected with a measuring anvil 03 coaxial with the conventional micrometer screw 04, and a measuring accommodation space is formed between the measuring anvil 03 and the conventional micrometer screw 04. In the present application, the first and second rotation drive groups have the same structure, both of which are structures of existing conventional micrometers. The use process of the present application is as follows: when no measurement is performed, the measurement accommodation space between the conventional micrometer screw 04 and the anvil 03 is in the maximum state, at which time the left spiral section 141 of the double-helix micrometer screw 14 matches the thread in the screw sleeve three 24, and the right spiral section 143 is relatively stationary therewith. When measurement is required, first use the first rotation drive group to drive the conventional micrometer screw 04 to move it to the right, thereby reducing the distance between the anvil 03 and the conventional micrometer screw 04, and initially approaching the object to be measured. Subsequently, use the second rotation drive group to drive the right spiral section 143 of the double-helix micrometer screw 14. Due to the threaded connection between the left spiral section 141 and the screw sleeve three 24, the double-helix micrometer screw 14 will drive the dynamic measuring frame 02 and the anvil 03 thereon to move finely to the right, thereby achieving precise contact and measurement of the object.
[0028] Since the pitches of the left spiral segment 141 and the right spiral segment 143 are different, different displacement amplification effects can be achieved, that is, a small rotation of the right spiral segment 143 can cause a larger displacement of the anvil 03, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.
[0029] The present application is described below through specific embodiments.
[0030] Ultra-high precision length measuring instrument (see attached Figure 1 , 2, 3), consists of a main measuring frame (static measuring frame) 01, a dynamic measuring frame 02, a measuring anvil 03, a micrometer screw 04, a fixed sleeve 06, a differential cylinder 07, an adjusting nut 1, a joint 1, a gasket 10, a ratchet force measuring knob 11, a locking mechanism 12, a double-helix micrometer screw 14, a screw sleeve 2 15, a fixed sleeve 2 16, a differential cylinder 2 17, an adjusting nut 2, a joint 2 19, a gasket 20, a ratchet force measuring knob 21, a locking mechanism 22, a locking sleeve 23, a screw sleeve 3 24, a guide shaft 25, a fixed sleeve 26, a guide sleeve 27, an insulating sheet and other parts.
[0031] The main test frame 01 is an integrated structure consisting of a test frame body at the bottom and a small test frame at the upper right position.
[0032] The small measuring frame at the upper right position of the main measuring frame 01 is also provided with a micrometer screw 04, a screw shaft sleeve 1, a fixed sleeve 06, a differential cylinder 07, an adjusting nut 1, a joint 1, a gasket 10, a ratchet force knob 11, a locking mechanism 12, etc. The structure of this part on the small measuring frame is exactly the same as the structure of the upper right part of the conventional screw micrometer measuring frame, and no further detailed description is given.
[0033] An insulating sheet (layer) is also wrapped around the outside of the measuring frame body to isolate the human body temperature during measurement.
[0034] A through hole 012 and a hole 013 are parallelly arranged on the measuring frame body of the main measuring frame (01), and the directions of the through hole 012 and the hole 013 are consistent with the direction of the micrometer screw 04.
[0035] A screw sleeve 15 is fixedly provided at the right end of the through hole 012 , and an internal thread matching the right spiral thread section on the double-helix micrometer screw 14 is provided in the inner hole of the screw sleeve 15 .
[0036] On the outside and right side of the screw sleeve 2 15, there are also fixed sleeve 2 16, differential cylinder 2 17, adjusting nut 2 (not shown), joint 2 19, gasket 20, ratchet force knob 21. The structure of this part is basically the same as the structure of the upper right part of the conventional screw micrometer measuring frame, and no further detailed description is given. The difference is that the screw sleeve 2 15 here is spirally connected with a double-helix micrometer screw 14, not a conventional micrometer screw 04.
[0037] The double-helix micrometer screw 14 is composed of four coaxial sections, namely, a left helical section 141, a middle cylinder 142, a right helical section 143, and a right cylinder 144. The left helical section 141 and the right helical section 143 have the same rotation direction, and both are right-handed in the figure. The pitches of the left helical section and the right helical section are different, and there is a pitch difference between the two helices. In the figure, the pitch of the left helical section is 0.5 mm, the pitch of the right helical section is 0.45 mm, and the pitch difference between the two helices is 0.05 mm. The smaller the pitch difference, the higher the measurement accuracy.
[0038] A dynamic measuring frame 02 is movably provided at the left end of the main measuring frame 01. The dynamic measuring frame 02 and the main measuring frame 01 are positioned and guided by a screw sleeve 3 24 and a guide shaft 25.
[0039] A measuring anvil 03 is fixedly provided in a hole at the upper end 021 of the dynamic measuring frame 02 , and the measuring anvil 03 is coaxially opposite to the micrometer screw 04 .
[0040] A through hole 022 and a through hole 023 are provided in parallel below the dynamic measuring frame 02. The through hole 022 corresponds coaxially to the through hole 012 on the measuring frame body; the through hole 023 corresponds coaxially to the hole 013 on the measuring frame body;
[0041] The screw sleeve three 24 is fixedly installed in the through hole 022 of the dynamic measuring frame 02 through the left end, and the right end of the screw sleeve three 24 slides outside and extends into the left end of the through hole 012 on the measuring frame body.
[0042] An internal thread matching the left-segment spiral thread on the double-screw micrometer screw 14 is arranged in the screw sleeve 3 24 .
[0043] The right end of the guide shaft 25 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the hole 013 on the measuring frame body through a fixing sleeve 26. The left end of the guide shaft 25 is slidably matched with the through hole 023 of the dynamic measuring frame 02 through a guide sleeve 27.
[0044] A locking sleeve 23 is fixedly provided in the middle of the through hole 012 on the measuring frame body, and the inner hole of the locking sleeve 23 is slidably matched with the middle cylinder on the double-helix micrometer screw 14, and a screw hole is provided on the locking sleeve 23. A locking mechanism 22 is provided on the measuring frame body at a position corresponding to the screw hole on the locking sleeve 23, which is used to lock or unlock the double-helix micrometer screw 14.
[0045] In this example, the pitch on the micrometer screw 04 is 0.5 millimeters.
[0046] The left helical segment 141 and the right helical segment 143 on the double helical micrometer screw 14 have the same rotation direction, and are both right-handed in the figure. The pitches of the left helical segment and the right helical segment are different, and there is a pitch difference between the two helices. In the figure, the pitch of the left helical segment is 0.55 mm, the pitch of the right helical segment is 0.5 mm, and the pitch difference between the two helices is 0.05 mm. The smaller the pitch difference, the higher the measurement accuracy.
[0047] In this example, the pitch of the right spiral section on the double-helix micrometer screw 14 is 0.5 mm, which is equal to the pitch of 0.5 mm on the micrometer screw 04. Therefore, the axial scale spacing on the fixed sleeve 16 is the same as that on the fixed sleeve 1 06, both of which are 0.5 mm intervals, but the corresponding reading does not represent 0.5 mm. Because the moving measuring frame 02 and the measuring anvil 03 move 0.05 mm to the left (equal to the pitch difference) every time the differential cylinder 17 rotates counterclockwise (from right to left), that is, each grid of the axial scale on the fixed sleeve 16 corresponds to 0.05 mm. The differential cylinder 17 is also divided into 50 equal parts. Correspondingly, each grid of the circumferential scale of the differential cylinder 17 corresponds to 0.05 mm / 50=0.001 mm.
[0048] The measurement methods of this application include:
[0049] 1) Conventional measurement:
[0050] Adjust the lower differential cylinder 17 to zero scale, and lock the double-helix micrometer screw 14 through the locking mechanism 22. At this time, the position of the dynamic measuring frame 02 is fixed, and it is fixedly connected with the main measuring frame 01. At this time, it can be used as a micrometer of conventional accuracy, and the measurement value can be read directly by adjusting the differential cylinder 107. The measurement accuracy is 0.01 mm, and one more digit can be estimated on this basis.
[0051] 2) High-precision measurement
[0052] Take the measurement of 6205B (P2) grade bearings as an example. Its outer diameter should be between Φ52.000-52.006.
[0053] First, adjust the lower differential cylinder 17 to the zero scale, and lock and fix the double-helix micrometer screw 14 through the locking mechanism 22.
[0054] Place a 52 mm long standard gauge block between the anvil 03 and the micrometer screw 04, rotate the differential cylinder 07 through the ratchet force knob 11, adjust the left end of the micrometer screw 04 to contact the standard gauge block, and then lock the micrometer screw 04 through the locking mechanism 12.
[0055] The locking mechanism 22 is released to unlock the double-helix micrometer screw 14 .
[0056] Rotate differential cylinder 2 17 counterclockwise (from right to left), and it can rotate counterclockwise 1-2 circles; place the bearing to be measured between the anvil 03 and the micrometer screw 04, rotate differential cylinder 2 17 through the ratchet force knob 21 to drive the double-helix micrometer screw 14 to rotate, adjust the position of the dynamic measuring frame 02 to make a slight move, so that the anvil 03 contacts the outer diameter surface of the bearing, and read the corresponding readings of fixed sleeve 2 16 and differential cylinder 2 17. The reading plus the value of the 52mm standard gauge block is the actual measurement value of the bearing.
[0057] In order to use it conveniently and quickly, a digital display readout device can be added on this basis to facilitate reading.
[0058] This application has the following advantages:
[0059] This measuring instrument can be used as a common micrometer or as a higher precision length measuring instrument.
[0060] A double-helix micrometer screw with the same spiral direction but a slight pitch difference is used to adjust the dynamic measuring frame for slight movement. The processing technology of the screw is good, and it is easy to realize and mass produce.
[0061] Adjustment parts for high-precision measurement, such as fixed sleeve 216 and differential cylinder 217, are the same as those of conventional micrometers, and are made with mature technology, do not require special processing, can be purchased directly, and are low in cost.
[0062] A sophisticated digital readout device can be added on this basis, making it quick and easy to use.
[0063] The whole device has no parts with complex structures, which is convenient for realization and mass production.
[0064] It is known from common technical knowledge that the present application can be implemented by other embodiments that do not deviate from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the above disclosed embodiments are only illustrative in all respects and are not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present application or within the scope equivalent to the present application are included in the present application.
