Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metrological calibration, in particular to a calibration device for a clearance gauge. Background Art

[0002] A clearance gauge is a metrological device used to measure the clearance between objects or the size of apertures. It can be roughly divided into flat feeler gauges, wedge feeler gauges and tapered feeler gauges according to the structural form, application range and accuracy. In order to ensure the accuracy, it should be regularly sent for inspection or self-calibrated every year.

[0003] At present, clearance gauges are mainly calibrated and measured by metrological standards such as length measuring instruments, universal tool microscopes and dial indicators. These metrological standards are high-precision devices, which can only be installed in a constant temperature laboratory and cannot be carried out of the laboratory. Moreover, length measuring instruments and universal tool microscopes are relatively expensive, and it is easy to damage the measuring heads when used to calibrate clearance gauges. And the equipment is relatively complex to operate, with relatively high requirements for operators, and it is difficult to achieve rapid calibration.

[0014] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] The gap gauge calibration device in this embodiment includes a measuring table 1 with a groove, two spiral digital micrometer differential heads 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the measuring table and the measuring rods facing and extending into the groove, a square cross beam 3 arranged on the measuring table and above the groove, a magnifying glass 4 for observing the contact part between the measuring rod and the gap gauge, and a connector for connecting the magnifying glass and the cross beam. The connector includes a sliding buckle 5 slidably matched with the cross beam, a first threaded locking handle 6 arranged on the sliding buckle for fixing the sliding buckle, a round sleeve 7 connected to the sliding buckle, and a second threaded locking handle 8 arranged on the round sleeve. The magnifying glass is placed in the round sleeve and fixed by the second threaded locking handle.

[0016] As an improvement to the above embodiment, the gap gauge calibration device further includes a padding block 9 arranged in the groove.

[0017] The method for calibrating a common flat feeler gauge 10 using the gap gauge calibration device in the above embodiment is as follows:

[0018] Before measurement, the micrometer to be measured and the calibration device should be placed in a constant temperature environment of (20±8)°C for at least 1 hour. Rotate the differential heads of the two spiral digital micrometers so that the working end faces of their measuring rods are in tactile contact. At this time, perform a zeroing operation on the readings of the differential heads of the two spiral digital micrometers. Then, keep the measuring rod of the differential head of the left spiral digital micrometer stationary, rotate the differential head of the right spiral digital micrometer to make its measuring rod retreat to a sufficient position, and then place the micrometer to be inspected between the two measuring rods, making the cross-section of the measuring rod of the differential head of the left spiral digital micrometer in tactile contact with the front surface of the micrometer. Then, rotate the differential head of the right spiral digital micrometer to make the end face of its measuring rod in tactile contact with the back surface of the micrometer. At this time, observe and record the readings A1 and A2 of the differential heads of the left and right spiral digital micrometers. Under normal circumstances, A1 is always zero, and the reading of A2, which is the measured value, is the thickness of the micrometer at this point. Otherwise, the thickness of the micrometer is the value of A1+A2. If the reading of A1 becomes negative, it should be zeroed again according to the above method and then measured. The indication error at this point is equal to the nominal value of the micrometer - the measured value. During measurement, at least 3 calibration points should be distributed on the center line of the working area of the micrometer. When calibrating a flat micrometer, the elevation block 9 does not need to be set in the measuring table 1.

[0019] The method for calibrating the conical micrometer 11 using the clearance gauge calibration device in the above embodiment is as follows:

[0020] Before measurement, the conical micrometer to be measured and the calibration device should be placed in a constant temperature environment of (20±8)°C for at least 1 hour. Rotate the differential heads of the two spiral digital micrometers so that the end faces of the measuring rods of the two spiral digital micrometers are in tactile contact. At this time, perform a zeroing operation on the readings of the differential heads of the two spiral digital micrometers. Rotate the differential heads of the left and right spiral digital micrometers to make the end faces of their measuring rods move away to a sufficient position, and then place a sufficiently high elevation block on the measuring table. Place the front surface (the side with scale) of the conical micrometer to be inspected face up on the elevation block, so that the left and right end faces of the scale of the conical micrometer can be roughly distributed on the axial diameters of the two measuring rods. Adjust the position of the connector along the square crossbeam, move the magnifying glass above the conical micrometer, and adjust the focal length of the magnifying glass so as to clearly see the magnified contour of the scale of the conical micrometer to be measured. With the help of the magnifying glass, move the conical micrometer to be measured and the differential heads of the spiral digital micrometers so that the middle parts of the two ends of the same scale line of the conical micrometer to be measured are respectively in contact with the edges of the end faces of the measuring rods of the left and right spiral digital micrometers. At this time, observe and record the readings A1 and A2 of the differential heads of the left and right spiral digital micrometers. The value of A1+A2 is the measured value of this scale line, and the indication error at this point is equal to the nominal value of the conical micrometer - the measured value. During measurement, at least 5 calibration points should be measured approximately evenly distributed within the measurement range of the conical micrometer to be measured.

[0021] The method for calibrating the wedge-shaped micrometer 12 using the clearance gauge calibration device in the above embodiment is as follows:

[0022] Before measurement, the wedge feeler gauge to be measured and the calibration device shall be placed in a constant temperature environment of (20±8)°C for at least 1 h. Rotate the differential heads of the two screw digital micrometers so that the end faces of the measuring rods of the differential heads of the two screw digital micrometers are in tactile contact. At this time, perform a zeroing operation on the readings of the two screw digital micrometers. Then keep the measuring rod of the differential head of the left screw digital micrometer stationary, and rotate the differential head of the right screw digital micrometer to separate the end faces of the two measuring rods by a sufficient distance. Then place a sufficiently high spacer block on the measuring table, place the wedge feeler gauge to be inspected on the spacer block sideways, and then move the bottom surface of the wedge feeler gauge to be inspected (i.e., the back of the engraved line surface) to be in tactile contact with the end face of the measuring rod of the differential head of the left screw digital micrometer. Adjust the position of the connector along the square cross beam, move the magnifying glass above the tapered feeler gauge, and adjust the focal length of the magnifying glass to clearly see the engraved line profile of the wedge feeler gauge to be measured after magnification. With the help of the magnifying glass for observation, rotate the differential head of the right screw digital micrometer so that the end face of its measuring rod just touches the middle position of the engraved line of the wedge feeler gauge to be measured. At this time, observe and record the indicated values A1 and A2 shown on the differential heads of the left and right screw digital micrometers. Under normal circumstances, A1 is always zero, and the indicated value of A2 is the measured value at this engraved line position. Otherwise, the measured value at this engraved line position is the value of A1+A2. If the indicated value of A1 becomes negative, it should be re-zeroed according to the above method and then measured. The indicated error at this point is equal to the nominal value of the wedge feeler gauge - the measured value. During measurement, at least 5 calibration points should be measured approximately evenly distributed within the measurement range of the wedge feeler gauge to be measured.
