Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of handles, in particular to a checking tool used for detecting a valve handle connection hole and a handle shape. Background Art

[0002] In the field of industrial valves, valve handles are one of the key components to achieve valve operation. Valve handles are widely used in various valve equipment due to their simple structure and convenient operation. These handles are usually made of 304 stainless steel using investment casting technology to ensure their durability and corrosion resistance.

[0003] However, despite the advantages of investment casting, the process also faces some challenges when producing slender valve handles. Especially when using wax patterns for casting, the product is prone to deformation during cooling and solidification due to the characteristics of the wax pattern material and the thermal stress during the casting process. This deformation manifests as the handle being inconsistent left and right or high and low, resulting in dimensional deviation and affecting the consistency of product size.

[0004] Dimensional inconsistency not only affects the appearance quality of the product, but more importantly, it may affect the overall performance and assembly accuracy of the valve. If the handle and the valve do not fit tightly or there is a dimensional deviation, it may cause the valve to operate unsmoothly and even affect the sealing and safety of the entire system.

[0005] Traditional inspection methods, such as simple visual inspection or manual measurement, may not be able to accurately identify these subtle dimensional deviations. In addition, these methods rely on the operator's experience and skills, and the inspection results may be subjective, which cannot meet the high requirements for consistency and reliability in large-scale production.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a check fixture for detecting the valve handle connection hole and the handle shape, comprising: a check fixture body 1, a handle 3, a plug-in 2, and a go / no-go gauge 4;

[0036] The gauge body 1 has a placement groove 105 at one end and a detection through hole 106 at the other end.

[0037] One end of the handle 3 is placed in the placement groove 105, and the other end is arranged on the inspection tool body 1, and the connection hole 301 on the handle 3 is opposite to the detection through hole 106, wherein the placement groove 105 is used to fix the qualified product handle 105 and ensure its accurate position, and secondly, it can be used to detect whether the outer dimensions of the handle 3 meet the standards. If it cannot be placed in the placement groove 105, the outer dimensions of the handle 3 are not up to standard, which can be used as the first step to detect the handle shape.

[0038] The plug-in 2 is used to be inserted into the main body of the inspection tool, so as to detect whether the shape of the handle 3 placed in the placement groove 105 meets the standard;

[0039] The go / no-go gauge 4 is inserted into the connecting hole 301 and the detection through hole 106 in sequence to detect whether the size of the connecting hole 301 of the handle 3 meets the standard. The detection through hole 106 is opposite to the connecting hole 301 of the handle 3 and is used for inserting the go / no-go gauge 4 to detect the size of the connecting hole.

[0040] The gauge body 1 includes a fixed block 101, a connecting block 102 connected to the bottom of the fixed block 101 and extending outward, and an inclined block 103 arranged on the top of the connecting block 102; the top of the fixed block 101 is provided with the placement groove 105; the vertical surface of the inclined block 103 is fixed to the fixed block 101, and the inclined surface of the inclined block 101 is connected to the placement groove 105 on the fixed block 101. The connecting block 102 is provided with the detection through hole 106, one end of the handle 3 is placed in the placement groove 105, and the other end is arranged along the inclined surface and its head is placed on the connecting block 102. In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the gauge is used to fix and support the handle 3 to ensure the accuracy of the detection process; the fixed block 101 serves as the base of the main body of the gauge, providing stability and support for the entire gauge structure. The stability of the fixed block 101 ensures that the position of the handle is fixed during the detection process, reduces errors, and improves the detection accuracy. The connecting block 102 extends from the bottom of the fixed block, providing further structural expansion and functional connection points. The design of the connecting block allows additional functional components to be added to the main body of the gauge, such as the detection through hole 106, to provide necessary structural support for the shape and size detection of the handle. The tilting block 103 is arranged on the top of the connecting block 102, providing an inclined surface, and the handle can be placed along this inclined surface. The design of the tilting block allows one end of the handle to smoothly transition from the placement groove 105 to the connecting block 102, which is convenient for the positioning and detection of the handle. In addition, the inclined surface of the tilting block is connected to the placement groove 105 on the fixed block, which helps to achieve accurate detection of the handle's external dimensions.

[0041] Furthermore, the top of the fixed block 101 is provided with four plug-in blocks 104 extending upwards, and the four plug-in blocks 104 are arranged opposite to each other in pairs, and each plug-in block 104 is provided with an insertion hole 1040 for inserting the plug-in 2, and the plug-in 2 includes a latch 1 and a latch 2, which are used to detect the external dimensions of the handle 3. The latch 1 and the latch 2 are used to insert the insertion hole 1040, which corresponds to the top of the handle 3 external shape, and are used to detect whether the size of this part meets the standard. Through the insertion of the latch 1 and the latch 2, the key dimensions of the handle external shape can be accurately detected to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the external dimensions. If the latch 1 and the latch 2 can be inserted, the handle is qualified, and if it cannot be inserted (the top dimension of the handle external shape is too high, blocking the relative insertion hole 1040), correction is required.

[0042] Furthermore, the through-and-no-go gauge 4 includes a handheld portion 401, a connecting hole through-and-no-go gauge portion 402 connected to the handheld portion 401, and a connecting hole through-and-no-go gauge portion 403 connected to the connecting hole through-and-no-go gauge portion 402; the handheld portion 401 is circular, and a roll-back thread is provided on the side wall, which is convenient for human hand holding and improves the comfort and stability during use. The knurled thread on the side wall increases the friction force, prevents sliding during use, and ensures the safety of operation; after the connecting hole through-and-no-go gauge portion 402 is connected to the connecting hole through-and-no-go gauge portion 403, a limited step position 4020 is formed on the connecting hole through-and-no-go gauge portion 402, which is used to limit the connecting hole through-and-no-go gauge portion 402 from passing through the connecting hole 301 on the handle 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the connection hole stop gauge portion 402 is used to detect whether the connection hole 301 on the handle 3 has reached the maximum size of the design, that is, whether it is "stopped" properly. By detecting the connection hole stop gauge portion 402, it can be ensured that the connection hole 402 is not too large, thereby avoiding looseness or mismatching during assembly, and ensuring the assembly accuracy and reliability of the valve handle. The connection hole through gauge portion 403 is used to detect whether the connection hole 301 on the handle 3 has reached the minimum size of the design, that is, whether it can be "passed". The connection hole through gauge portion 403 ensures that the connection hole 301 is not too small, thereby ensuring that the corresponding parts can be smoothly inserted during assembly and meeting basic assembly requirements. Limiting step 4020 (formed on the connecting hole stop gauge portion 402): The limiting step 4020 is used to limit the connecting hole stop gauge portion 402 from passing through the connecting hole 301 on the handle 3, ensuring that the connecting hole stop gauge portion 402 is not over-inserted during testing, thereby preventing over-insertion of the stop gauge portion 4020, protecting the connecting hole 301 being tested from damage, and also ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0044] Working principle of this utility model:

[0045] Put the shaped product handle 3 into the main body of the inspection fixture, and then use the go / no-go gauge 4 to first check whether the connecting hole 301 is through, that is, the through gauge part 403 of the connecting hole can pass through the connecting hole 301 of the product handle 3, and the no-go gauge part 402 of the connecting hole cannot pass; then insert the first and second pins in turn to check whether the appearance of the handle 3 meets the standard. If it can be inserted, it is qualified, and if it cannot be inserted, it will be calibrated; after passing the test, pull out the first and second pins, pull out the go / no-go gauge 4, take out the product handle 3, and complete the inspection.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
