Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aperture measurement, in particular to an electronic plug gauge. Background Technique

[0002] During the production process of parts, in order to ensure the processing quality of the aperture, the aperture is usually detected.

[0003] The traditional method for detecting the aperture usually uses a smooth plug gauge, which has a go end and a no-go end machined at both ends of a metal rod. When using it, if the go end of the plug gauge can be inserted into the hole and the no-go end cannot be inserted into the hole, it indicates that the aperture size of the workpiece is qualified. However, this detection method belongs to rigid detection and can only be guaranteed by mechanical processing accuracy, without data display and analysis.

[0004] Currently, an electronic plug gauge is often used for detection. The mechanical displacement is converted into an electric quantity through an inductance sensor, and the measured aperture is displayed digitally. The electronic plug gauge mainly consists of a handle, a detection head, etc. When using the electronic plug gauge, hold the handle and insert the detection head into the hole to be detected, and then the aperture can be detected. However, the detection head of the existing electronic plug gauge is usually an integral structure. When it is necessary to detect apertures of different specifications, the detection head cannot be replaced, resulting in low applicability of the electronic plug gauge.

[0005] Therefore, we have designed an electronic plug gauge capable of replacing the detection head. Summary of the Utility Model

[0032] An elastomer 4 is coaxially arranged in the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 3. The upper section of the elastomer 4 is a hollow shaft section 401 that extends out and is fixedly connected to the guide sleeve 3, and the hollow shaft section 401 extends into the inner cavity of the handle 1 and is in threaded cooperation with the handle 1; the lower section of the elastomer 4 is a deformation section 402, and the deformation section 402 has two spaced and parallel deformation bodies 4021. The lower inner side walls of the two deformation bodies 4021 are both provided with inclined step surfaces 4022. Measuring rods 5 are perpendicularly provided at the middle positions of the lower outer side surfaces of the two deformation bodies 4021, and the outer ends of the measuring rods 5 coaxially penetrate through the corresponding through holes;

[0033] Specifically, arc notches 4023 are provided at the upper end portions of the outer side surfaces of the deformation bodies 4021.

[0034] That is, due to the presence of the arc-shaped notch 4023, when the deformable body 4021 is subjected to inward pressure, the deformable body 4021 can be deformed inward. According to needs, the deformable body 4021 is made of elastic steel material.

[0035] As required, in order to install the elastic body 4 , the lower end of the guide sleeve 3 is provided with an expanded neck 4011 , and the expanded neck 4011 is provided with a sealing cover 12 .

[0036] The lower end of the core rod 6 is a conical end, the lower end of the core rod 6 is coaxially slidably inserted into the elastic body 4, and abuts against the step surface 4022; the upper end surface of the core rod 6 abuts against the detection end of the sensor 2; as needed, the outer end of the measuring rod 5 is provided with a measuring element 13. That is, the outer end of the measuring rod 5 is a spherical end.

[0037] When in use, hold the handle 1 and insert the detection head into the hole along the axis of the hole to be measured. It should be noted that before use, the sensor 2 in the electronic plug gauge needs to be connected to the corresponding main body for use.

[0038] It should be noted that the cable corresponding to sensor 2 is not shown in the figure.

[0039] In a possible embodiment, in combination with the attached Figures 2-3 The lower end of the hollow shaft section 401 is provided with an expanded neck 4011 whose top surface is in contact with the inner top surface of the guide sleeve 3, and the upper end of the hollow shaft section 401 is provided with a locking nut 7 whose bottom surface is pressed against the top surface of the guide sleeve 3; specifically, the upper end of the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 3 is provided with a reduced diameter portion, the top surface of the expanded neck 4011 is in contact with the bottom surface of the reduced diameter portion of the guide sleeve 3, and the bottom surface of the locking nut 7 is in contact with the top surface of the reduced diameter portion of the guide sleeve 3. This arrangement can realize the function of locking or loosening the elastic body 4 by rotating the locking nut 7.

[0040] In a possible embodiment, in combination with the attached Figures 2-3 The upper end of the inner cavity of the hollow shaft section 401 is provided with a core rod sliding sleeve 8 that is matched with the rod body of the core rod 6; according to needs, the connection between the core rod sliding sleeve 8 and the hollow shaft section 401 can be fixed by a top screw, or by interference fit, gluing, etc.; this can ensure that the core rod 6 will not have radial deviation, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0041] In a possible embodiment, in combination with the attached Figures 2-3 The rod body fixing sleeve of the core rod 6 is provided with a limit sleeve 9 whose bottom surface contacts with the top surface of the elastic body 4. Specifically, when the bottom surface of the limit sleeve 9 contacts with the top surface of the elastic body 4, the lower end of the core rod 6 contacts with the step surface 4022.

[0042] In a possible embodiment, in combination with the attached Figure 2, further comprising a clamping sleeve 10 disposed in the inner cavity of the handle 1.

The sensor 2 is correspondingly disposed in the upper section of the inner cavity of the clamping sleeve 10. As required, the hollow shaft section 401 can also be directly in threaded fit with the handle 1.

[0043] When there is a lock nut 7, the position where the hollow shaft section 401 is in threaded fit with the clamping sleeve 10 is above the position where the hollow shaft section 401 is in threaded fit with the lock nut 7; at this time, the lower end of the inner cavity of the clamping sleeve 10 can be provided with a reamed hole structure for accommodating the lock nut 7.

[0044] In a possible embodiment, in combination with the attached Figure 2 , a bushing 11 for fixing the sensor 2 is provided at the upper end of the inner cavity of the clamping sleeve 10; as required, the bushing 11 can be fixed to the upper end of the inner cavity of the clamping sleeve 10 by a set screw. By pressing the bushing 11 with the set screw, the bushing 11 is deformed, thereby tightly holding the outer shell of the sensor 2, so that the bushing 11, the sensor 2 and the clamping sleeve 10 are fixed together.

[0045] It should be noted that: except for the guide sleeve 3, the measuring rod 5 and the measuring tip 13 in this electronic plug gauge, the rest of the parts are all general products. That is to say, when measuring holes with different apertures, only the guide sleeve 3, the measuring rod 5 and the measuring tip 13 are different, and the structural dimensions of the rest of the parts are exactly the same; therefore, when replacing, the whole detection head can be replaced, or only the guide sleeve 3, the measuring rod 5 and the measuring tip 13 can be replaced.

[0046] When disassembling the detection head, only need to loosen the connecting thread between the handle 1 and the clamping sleeve 10, and then loosen the connecting thread between the clamping sleeve 10 and the elastic body 4, then the detection head can be disassembled.

[0047] The parts not detailed in the present invention are the prior art. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention; therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, aiming to include all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements within the present invention.
