Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] An air-cooled diameter measuring instrument, referring to Figure 1 , this air-cooled diameter measuring instrument includes a base 1, a transmitting body 2, a receiving body 3 and a centrifugal fan 4. Among them, the transmitting body 2 is installed on one side of the base 1 by bolts, and the receiving body 3 is also installed on the other side of the base 1 by bolts. At the same time, the transmitting body 2 emits an optical signal, and the receiving body 3 receives the optical signal. The rolled material to be measured is located at the position between the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3. The diameter of the rolled material is calculated by using the rolled material to block a part of the light.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, the centrifugal fan 4 is located on one side of the base 1, and an installation platform 11 for the centrifugal fan 4 to be fixed by bolts is integrally provided at the side of the base 1; both sides of the lower surface of the base 1 are fixed by bolts with air inlet pipes 12 respectively communicating with the inside of the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3, and one end of a connecting hose 5 is provided on the centrifugal fan 4 and is connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 4 by bolts. At the same time, two branch pipes 51 respectively connected to the two air inlet pipes 12 are integrally provided at the end of the connecting hose 5 far away from the centrifugal fan 4, and a second hoop 9 is provided between the branch pipe 51 and the air inlet pipe 12.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 , on the upper surfaces of the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3, air discharge pipes 6 communicating with the inside of the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3 are fixed by bolts. A protective airbag cover 7 is arranged above the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3. At both sides of the protective airbag cover 7, butt pipes 71 docked with the air discharge pipes 6 are integrally provided. A first hoop 8 is provided between the butt pipe 71 and the air discharge pipe 6. At the same time, a plurality of exhaust holes 72 are formed in the circumferential side of the protective airbag cover 7, and the plurality of exhaust holes 72 are evenly spaced along the circumferential side of the protective airbag cover 7; a blowing nozzle 73 for blowing downward air flow is integrally provided on the lower surface of the protective airbag cover 7, and the blowing nozzle 73 is located at the position between the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3.

[0026] Principle: When the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3 are operating, the centrifugal fan 4 on the installation platform 11 is started. One end of the connecting hose 5 is connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 4. At the same time, two branch pipes 51 respectively connected to the two air inlet pipes 12 are provided at the end of the connecting hose 5 far away from the centrifugal fan 4. At this time, the air flow generated in the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 4 can be poured into the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3, and the air flow passing through the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3 is discharged from the air discharge pipe 6.

[0028] Meanwhile, by using the blowing nozzle 73 provided at the lower surface of the airbag cover 7 and located between the transmitting body 2 and the receiving body 3, the air flow in the airbag cover 7 will be discharged along the blowing nozzle 73. At this time, the air flow discharged from the blowing nozzle 73 can be sprayed on the surface of the rolled material to be measured below. The dust on the surface of the rolled material can be cleaned by the high-speed air flow, and finally it is beneficial to improve the measurement accuracy of the rolled material.
