DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. In addition, the forms of the various structures recorded in the following embodiments are merely illustrative, and the film thickness meter involved in the present invention is not limited to the various structures recorded in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] The utility model provides a new coating film thickness meter, such as Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a shell 1 and a detection unit 2 fixedly installed inside the shell 1 and a test probe 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the detection unit 2, the test probe 3 extends out of the bottom of the shell 1, and also includes a display screen 4 and a button 5 arranged in front of the shell 1, the display screen 4 is located above the button 5, and the display screen 4 and the button 5 are electrically connected to the detection unit 2, the bottom of the shell 1 is connected to a protective cover 6 through an elastic structure, and the protective cover 6 surrounds the outer surface of the test probe 3 and completely covers the test probe 3, a speed measuring device is fixedly installed on one side of the elastic structure, and a blocking device is fixedly installed on the other side of the elastic structure, and also includes a microprocessor 14 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the shell 1, and the microprocessor 14 is electrically connected to the speed sensor 11 and the pneumatic rod 12;

[0020] The protective cover 6 is installed around the outer periphery of the test probe 3 by using an elastic structure, and a speed measuring device is installed on the elastic structure. The upward speed is set by the speed measuring device in cooperation with the microprocessor 14. If the moving speed of the test device driven by the protective cover 6 exceeds the setting, the microprocessor 14 cooperates with the grid device to intercept the protective cover 6 to prevent the protective cover 6 from continuing to move upward, thereby realizing the protection of the test probe 3 by the protective cover 6;

[0021] When using the film thickness meter to measure the coating, the test probe 3 is directly aimed at the object to be measured, and then the housing 1 is slowly pressed down to shrink the protective cover 6 into the housing 1. Since the pressing speed is much slower than the fading speed, the blocking device will not be triggered to intercept the protective cover 6, which will not affect the normal use of the film thickness meter.

[0022] When the shell 1 falls to the bottom, the protective cover 6 contacts the bottom first, and under the impact of gravity, the protective cover 6 immediately contracts toward the inside of the shell 1 under the action of the elastic structure. At this time, the elastic structure drives the speed measuring device to move rapidly upward, exceeding the set speed. At this time, under the action of the microprocessor 14, the speed is immediately judged and the blocking device is turned on to intercept the upward moving protective cover 6 to prevent the protective cover 6 from continuing to move upward, thereby triggering the protective cover 6 to protect the test probe 3, preventing the film thickness meter from falling and causing damage to the test probe 3, and ensuring the service life of the test probe 3.

[0023] The elastic structure includes a connecting plate 7 fixedly sleeved on the top of the protective cover 6, the elastic structure also includes a guide rod 8 movably inserted at the four corners of the connecting plate 7, and the bottom of the guide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the shell 1, the elastic structure also includes a stopper 10 fixedly installed on the top surface of the guide rod 8, and the elastic structure also includes a spring 9 sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 8, and the two ends of the spring 9 are respectively abutted against the connecting plate 7. In the initial state, under the elastic force of the spring 9, the connecting plate 7 moves downward to push the protective cover 6 to cover the test probe 3 to protect the test probe 3. When fading, the protective cover 6 is manually impacted and moves toward the inside of the shell 1. At this time, the connecting plate 7 moves upward to shrink the spring 9.

[0024] The speed measuring device is a speed sensor 11 , which is detachably mounted in the middle of one side of the connecting plate 7 .

[0025] The blocking device includes a pneumatic rod 12 fixedly installed on the other side of the shell 1, and the blocking device also includes a limit block 13 fixedly installed on the piston end of the pneumatic rod 12, and the limit block 13 is located at the top of the other side of the connecting plate 7. When the microprocessor 14 determines that the upward movement speed of the protective cover 6 exceeds the setting, the microprocessor 14 turns on the pneumatic rod 12, and the pneumatic rod 12 immediately drives the limit block 13 to extend, blocking the upward moving connecting plate 7 to prevent the protective cover 6 from continuing to move upward. The installation height of the pneumatic rod 12 is less than the distance between the bottom surface of the protective cover 6 and the bottom surface of the shell 1, ensuring that the movement distance of the bottom of the protective cover 6 when the protective cover 6 is intercepted is still higher than the test probe 3, ensuring that the test probe 3 is fully protected.

[0026] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the shell 1 falls to the bottom surface, the protective cover 6 contacts the bottom surface first, and under the impact of gravity, the protective cover 6 immediately contracts toward the inside of the shell 1 under the action of the elastic structure. At this time, the elastic structure drives the speed measuring device to move upward rapidly, exceeding the set speed. At this time, under the action of the microprocessor 14, the speed is immediately judged and the blocking device is turned on to intercept the protective cover 6 moving upward, so as to prevent the protective cover 6 from continuing to move upward, thereby triggering the protective cover 6 to protect the test probe 3, preventing the film thickness instrument from falling and causing damage to the test probe 3, and ensuring the service life of the test probe 3;

[0027] When using the film thickness meter to measure the coating, simply aim the test probe 3 at the object to be measured, and then slowly press down the shell 1 to shrink the protective cover 6 into the inside of the shell 1. Since the pressing speed is much lower than the decay speed, the blocking device will not be triggered to intercept the protective cover 6, and the normal use of the film thickness meter will not be affected.
