[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiment 1

[0025] A film thickness gauge for testing the surface coating of a metal appearance part, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, including a film thickness gauge body 1 and a base 2. A plurality of slide rail installation grooves 3 are opened in the base 2. The base 2 is usually made of plastic. By installing metal slide rails 4 through grooving, the smoothness of the sliding of the limit slider 42 can be improved, and it is convenient for repairing and replacing parts, reducing the repair cost and improving the repair efficiency. Slide rails 4 are fixedly installed in both of the two slide rail installation grooves 3. Limit rods 41 are fixedly installed in both of the two slide rails 4. Limit sliders 42 are sleeved and installed on both of the two limit rods 41. A sample stage 5 is fixedly installed on the upper ends of the two limit sliders 42. Both ends of the two limit rods 41 are fixed at both ends of the slide rail 4, and play a supporting role for the limit slider 42 after the sample stage 5 extends out with the limit slider 42, improving the stability of the sample stage 5.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, two trapezoidal baffles 51 are fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the sample stage 5. When the sample stage 5 is pushed outwards, the trapezoidal baffle 51 can push the protective door 7 to slide upwards. When the sample stage 5 is pushed in place, the horizontal plane at the upper end of the trapezoidal baffle 51 can limit the fall of the protective door. A lead screw installation groove 6 is opened in the center of the base 2. A lead screw 61 is installed in the lead screw installation groove 6. A power slider 62 is sleeved on the lead screw 61. The upper end of the power slider 62 is fixedly connected to the sample stage 5. The rear end of the lead screw 61 is connected to the output end of the motor 63 through a transmission. Two springs 64 are sleeved on the lead screw 61. The two springs 64 are respectively installed on the front and rear end surfaces of the power slider 62. The springs 64 play a buffering role when the sample stage 5 is pushed out or retracted, reducing the influence of vibration on the sample.

[0027] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown in the figure, a sample inlet 11 is provided on the front end face of the film thickness gauge body 1. A protective door 7 is slidably mounted up and down at the sample inlet 11. An inclined surface 71 is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the protective door 7. Two rollers 72 are mounted on the two inclined surfaces 71. The slopes of the two inclined surfaces are the same as the inclined surface angle of the trapezoidal baffle 51, which is conducive to lifting the protective door 7. An auxiliary light source 73 is provided inside the protective door 7 for illuminating the sample placement area when the sample stage 5 is pushed out to assist in placing the sample. A control panel 12 is provided on the upper end face of the film thickness gauge body 1. A display screen 121 and several control buttons 122 are mounted on the control panel 12. The display 121 and the control buttons 122 are used to display device information or use the built-in simple test function. More complex measurement and recording functions can be achieved by connecting to a computer and using the corresponding software.

[0028] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, an X-ray thickness measurement component 8 is mounted on the inner top surface of the film thickness gauge body 1. The X-ray thickness measurement component 8 includes an X-ray generator 81 and an X-ray probe 82. The X-ray generator 81 is fixedly mounted inside the X-ray thickness measurement component 8. The X-ray probe 82 is an X-ray tube connected to a high-voltage power supply, which can generate X-rays with a certain wavelength according to the test needs. The emission port of the X-ray probe 82 is set downward. The X-ray probe 82 integrates the functions of emission and reception, and can emit the X-rays generated by the X-ray generator 81 onto the sample to be tested and receive the reflected X-rays. An image collector 83 is provided beside the X-ray probe 82. A supplementary light 84 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the image collector 83. The image collector 83 can output the internal environment to the display screen 121 on the film thickness gauge body 1 or an external computer, which is convenient for adjusting the sample position to ensure accurate sample testing.

[0029] When the first embodiment works, the film thickness gauge body 1 is connected to the power supply and the computer. The motor is controlled by the control software to drive the lead screw 61 to rotate clockwise, and the sample stage 5 is pushed out. When the sample stage moves outwards, the trapezoidal baffle 51 on the sample stage 5 lifts the protective door 7 upwards. After the sample stage 5 is pushed out in place, the lower end of the protective door 7 just gets stuck at the horizontal position of the trapezoidal baffle 51, which is convenient for personnel to operate. According to the need, one or more samples are placed in the corresponding test area of the sample stage 5. The motor is controlled by the control software to drive the lead screw 61 to rotate counterclockwise, and the sample stage 5 is retracted. The protective door 7 without the support of the trapezoidal baffle 51 falls slowly along the inclined surface part of the trapezoidal baffle 51 under the action of gravity. When the sample stage 5 is completely retracted, the protective door 7 just completely falls, cooperating with the sample stage to isolate the internal and external environments. The image collector 83 will collect the internal sample image and transmit it to the external computer, and focus according to the sample image, emit and receive X-rays, form data through processing and calculation, and record. Embodiment 2

[0030] Embodiment 2 is based on Embodiment 1. As Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown in the figure, a micro motor 52 is embedded in the sample stage 5. The output end of the micro motor 52 is fixedly connected to a sample disk 53 through a transmission. The X-ray emission position is not at the center of the sample disk 53. The sample disk 53 can rotate following the micro motor. For samples that require multi-point testing, there is no need to reposition the sample. A support frame 54 is sleeved at the connection between the micro motor 52 and the sample disk 53. A number of auxiliary wheels 55 are arranged on the outer side of the support frame 54. The support frame 54 plays a supporting role for the sample disk 53. An annular groove 56 is formed on the lower surface of the sample disk 53, and an annular groove 56 corresponding to the sample disk 53 is formed on the upper surface of the sample stage 5. A number of auxiliary wheels 55 are cooperatively installed in the two annular grooves 56. The installation of the auxiliary wheels 55 in the annular grooves 56 ensures the stable rotation of the sample disk and improves the testing efficiency.

[0031] In Embodiment 2, multiple samples are placed in different areas on the sample disk 53. According to the internal sample image collected by the image collector 83, after one sample test is completed, the sample disk 53 is rotated by controlling the micro motor 52 to adjust the sample in the next area to the test area for testing. After the test is completed, the samples in the remaining areas are sequentially tested. There is no need to manually adjust the sample position, nor to replace the sample multiple times. This not only reduces the contact between personnel and the radiation source, but also improves the testing efficiency.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
