Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of measurement, and in particular relates to a caliper cascade crank accessory. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft instruments are installed in limited space in the cabin, and their dimensions are subject to relatively strict requirements. Aircraft instruments are typically not rectangular, so some required dimensions cannot be measured directly with a caliper. To measure these dimensions, additional steps are generally required: segmented measurement using tools such as gauge blocks; and calculations based on predetermined formulas. When the number of segmented measurements is large or the calculation formula is complex, the accumulated error is often an order of magnitude higher than the accuracy of the caliper itself.

[0003] The disadvantages of the conventional measurement process are: ① A large number of tools are used, and the tools need to be kept fixed in position when arranged, which inevitably produces errors. A large number of segments will cause greater accumulated errors; ② When measuring the point-to-surface distance, the measuring surface of one measuring outer jaw of the caliper is close to the measuring point, and the measuring surface of the other measuring outer jaw of the caliper cannot contact the measuring plane to be measured, that is, the length of the measuring outer jaw of the caliper is often less than the translation distance from the aligned measuring point to the measuring plane. In this case, the point-to-surface distance cannot be measured by conventional methods; ③ When measuring the distance between two non-parallel long edges in space, even if the length of one measuring outer jaw of the caliper is sufficient, it is still difficult to simultaneously keep close to the measuring surfaces of the two measuring outer jaws when the two measuring surfaces of the measuring outer jaws cannot rotate relative to each other, which inevitably increases the measurement error; Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the multi-stage cascade plate assembly includes multiple cascade plates, one end of the cascade plate is formed with a lower long groove, and the extension plate is adapted in the lower long groove, a stud is fixed on the surface of the extension plate, and the knurled nut is adapted to be connected with the stud set through the through hole on the top surface of the lower long groove, so as to realize the angle-adjustable connection of the cascade plates adjacent to the extension plate on the extension plate; the upper plate surface of the other end of the cascade plate is formed with an upper long groove, and the lower long grooves of the two adjacent cascade plates are adapted to the upper long groove, and the angle-adjustable connection of the two adjacent cascade plates is realized by adapting the stud fixed on the surface of the upper long groove and passing through the through hole on the top surface of the lower long groove with the knurled nut.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of knurled screws are threadedly connected to the connecting seat, and the connecting seat is fixedly connected to the clamping claw by the plurality of knurled screws pressed against the clamping claw.

[0009] Furthermore, the knurled nut and the knurled screw are both made of 2Cr13 stainless steel rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting seat and the connecting plate are both made of CrWMn high carbon alloy tool steel.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0012] 1. This technical solution provides conditions for extending the measuring surface of one of the caliper jaws by providing a connecting seat that is detachably fixed to one of the caliper jaws and whose reference surface is coplanar with the measuring surface of the jaw;
