Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a digital display ruler calibration device, in particular to a calibration device used for calibrating a large-size digital display ruler. Background Art

[0002] A digital ruler is a length calibration (indicating) tool that uses measurement and digital display technology to read the relative distance moved by a moving frame on a ruler rod. The measuring range is from 100mm to 2000mm.

[0003] According to the calibration method of JJF1280-2011 "Capacitive Barrier Digital Display Scale Calibration Specification", the indication error of the capacitive bar digital display scale is as follows: Figure 1 The measurement is carried out using the special measuring device shown. The indication error of the non-enclosed capacitive grid digital display scale with a measurement upper limit not exceeding 1000mm can also be measured using a gauge block.

[0004] However, there are some problems whether using gauge blocks or special measuring devices to calibrate the capacitive digital scale. The main problems are: Calibration with gauge blocks: (1) For digital scales with a measuring range of (400-1000) mm, the deformation of the digital scale itself will affect the calibration accuracy; (2) The calibration accuracy will also be reduced during the splicing of gauge blocks. Calibration with special measuring devices: (1) For example, Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the digital scale is placed horizontally. The digital scale with a measuring range of more than 600mm still has deformation caused by the length of the scale body. Especially for the digital scales of 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm and 2000mm, the deformation will be relatively large, reaching the millimeter level. (2) As for the Abbe error caused by the non-parallelism between the scale body and the measuring axis, the specification only qualitatively describes "adjusting the axis of the digital scale of the capacitive grid to be parallel to the moving direction of the carriage and as close as possible to the measuring axis of the standard", and does not set up a special structure to quantitatively reduce the Abbe error, which will have a greater impact on the calibration accuracy of large-sized digital scales. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the utility model provides a grating-based vertical large-size digital scale calibration device which can improve calibration accuracy and is suitable for calibrating large-size digital scales.

[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical solution: a vertical large-size digital scale calibration device based on grating, characterized in that: it includes a base made of marble, the bottom of the base is provided with three adjustable feet, the upper part of the base is provided with a first column and a lifting mechanism, the first column is made of marble, the first column is vertically fixed to the upper part of the base and is perpendicular to the plane of the base, the upper part of the first column is connected to the upper fastening plate, a horizontally arranged first steel ruler is fixed on the first column near the lower position of the upper fastening plate, and the lower part of the first column is detachably connected to the lower fastening plate. A second steel ruler is fixed horizontally on the first column near the upper position of the lower fastening plate, and a grating ruler is fixed vertically on the first column. The ends of the first steel ruler and the second steel ruler are close to the grating ruler. The lifting mechanism is arranged at the front or side of the first column, and the lifting mechanism is connected to a movable platform that can be lifted and lowered accordingly. The reading head of the grating ruler is fixedly arranged on the movable platform and corresponds to the grating ruler. The movable platform is also provided with a connector for connecting to the display panel of the digital display ruler. Fasteners for connecting the digital display ruler are provided on both the upper fastening plate and the lower fastening plate.

[0007] When using the utility model to calibrate the digital ruler, the digital ruler is placed vertically so that the digital ruler is in a naturally drooping state, which can minimize the deformation of the ruler body. The horizontality of the base can be adjusted by the feet at the bottom of the base. The upper and lower ends of the digital ruler are fixed to the upper fastening plate and the lower fastening plate respectively by fasteners. The first steel ruler and the second steel ruler are used to ensure that the upper and lower ends of the digital ruler are at the same distance from the grating ruler. In order to ensure that the upper and lower ends of the digital ruler are in the same plumb plane, the distance between the upper and lower ends of the digital ruler and the first column can be determined by an auxiliary tool, a digital depth caliper. The basic principle of calibration of the utility model is to provide a standard value for measuring length based on the grating ruler. During calibration, the movable platform is connected to the display panel of the digital ruler through a connector. The movable platform moves under the drive of the lifting mechanism, and at the same time drives the display panel of the digital ruler to move. During the movement of the movable stage, the reading head of the grating ruler set on the movable stage is used to take the reading as the standard value of the measured length. The display panel of the digital scale also displays the measured value of the digital scale. The difference between the measured value of the digital scale and the measured value of the grating ruler is the indication error of the digital scale.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a second column vertically fixed to the upper portion of the base, the second column being disposed on the side of the first column, and the second column being provided with a guide rail and a lead screw arranged along its height direction. The movable platform is slidably disposed on the guide rail on the second column, and the movable platform is connected to a nut screwed to the lead screw; the lead screw is connected to a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the movable platform to move along the guide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, threaded holes are provided on the lower portion of the first column for mounting the lower fastening plate corresponding to the 1000mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm digital scales, respectively. Depending on the specifications of the digital scale to be calibrated, the lower fastening plate can be installed at different heights on the first column, thereby meeting the requirements for calibrating digital scales of different specifications.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the quick connection between the connector and the display panel of the digital scale, a clip for clamping the display panel of the digital scale is connected to the head of the connector. The connector and the display panel of the digital scale can be conveniently connected together by the clip.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the digital scale, a cross-shaped screw mounting groove is provided on the lower fastening plate, and a fastening screw is fixed in the screw mounting groove by a nut.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention has a rational structural design, and the digital scale is placed vertically, so that the scale body is naturally suspended, which can minimize scale body deformation and improve calibration accuracy. A grating scale is used as the reference axis, and a steel ruler is used to ensure that the upper and lower ends of the digital scale are at the same distance from the grating scale. By adjusting the distance between the upper and lower ends of the digital scale and the first column, the digital scale can be kept parallel to the measurement axis as much as possible, reducing Abbe error and improving the calibration accuracy of the digital scale. The present invention is particularly suitable for calibrating large-scale digital scales of 1000 mm, 1200 mm, 1500 mm, and 2000 mm, and can greatly improve the calibration accuracy of large-scale digital scales.
