[0031] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application and the specific features in the embodiment are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiment of the present application and the technical features in the embodiment can be combined with each other.

[0032] In view of this, according to an embodiment of the present application, a verticality detection device for a cross tie rod is provided, comprising a workbench 1, a pressing component 2 and a measuring component 3.

[0033] In which, the workbench 1 includes a base plate 11 with parallel upper and lower surfaces, and a groove 111 is provided on the base plate 11 for accommodating the four pull rods 41 of the cross pull rod 4; the clamping component 2 is fixedly arranged below the groove 111, and is used to connect the bottom plate 42 of the cross pull rod 4 to one side of the pull rod 41 (hereinafter referred to as the upper surface of the bottom plate 42) and press it against the lower surface of the base plate 11; the measuring component 3 includes a base 31, a sliding rod 32, a slider 33 and a precision micrometer 34; the base 31 is movably arranged on the upper surface of the base plate 11; the sliding rod 32 is fixedly arranged on the base 31 and is perpendicular to the upper surface of the base plate 11; the slider 33 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 32, and the precision micrometer 34 is connected to the slider 33.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom plate 42 of the cross tie rod 4 to be tested is pressed against the lower surface of the substrate 11 by the pressing component 2, and the four tie rods 41 extend through the groove 111 to the top of the substrate 11 so that the tie rods 41 can be tested. The base 31 can move arbitrarily on the upper surface of the substrate 11, thereby driving the precision micrometer 34 to easily and quickly approach any one of the four tie rods 41 for measurement. During measurement, adjust the precision micrometer 34 so that its measuring head contacts the lowermost end of the tie rod 41 to be tested and record the initial value; by adjusting the slider 33, the precision micrometer 34 is moved from bottom to top and the extreme value of the precision micrometer 34 during the sliding process is recorded, and then the extreme value is compared with the initial value to obtain the verticality of the tie rod 41.

[0035] It should be noted that because the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 11 are parallel, and the upper surface of the bottom plate 42 is in close contact with the lower surface of the substrate 11, the upper surface of the bottom plate 42 is ensured to be parallel to the upper surface of the substrate 11. At this point, the slide bar 32 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate 11, which also ensures that the slide bar 32 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the bottom plate 42, thereby enabling the detection of the perpendicularity of the pull rod 41 relative to the upper surface of the bottom plate 42. In a specific embodiment, the parallelism of the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 11 is less than 0.02 mm, fully ensuring the accuracy of subsequent benchmarks.

[0036] Furthermore, in one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the workbench 1 further includes a support frame 12 ; one end of the support frame 12 is set on the ground, and the other end is fixedly provided with the base plate 11 .

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of adjustable pads 13 are provided on one end of the support frame 12 disposed on the ground, for adjusting the levelness of the base plate 11 .

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the support frame 12 is made of aluminum alloy, and the substrate 11 is fixed to the support frame 12 by bolts. A plurality of adjustable pads 13 are evenly arranged at the bottom end of the support frame 12 and are threadedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 12 by bolts. The adjustment bolts can adjust the extension height of the adjustable pads 13, and the horizontality of the substrate 11 can be adjusted by adjusting the bolts of the plurality of adjustable pads 13. It should be noted that the adjustment method of the adjustable pads 13 is not limited to bolt adjustment, and other feasible adjustment methods such as hydraulic pressure are allowed in this application.

[0039] Furthermore, in one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the pressing component 2 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 12. In order to ensure that the bottom plate 42 and the base plate 11 are tightly pressed, the relative positions of the pressing component 2 and the base plate 11 must be fixed, so fixing the pressing component on the support frame 12 ensures this necessary requirement.

[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the clamping component 2 includes a support block 21, a clamping block 22 and a knob 23; the support block 21 is used to fix the clamping component 2 below the groove 111; the clamping block 22 is located between the support block 21 and the substrate 11; the knob 23 is located at the end of the support block 21 away from the substrate 11, and the bolt of the knob 23 is threaded through the through hole 211 of the support block 21 and connected to the clamping block 22.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the support block 21 is fixed to the support frame 12 by bolts. During operation, the side of the bottom plate 42 of the cross-pull rod to be tested, away from the pull rod 41, is placed on the end of the clamping block 22 away from the support block 21. By rotating the knob 23 and the support block 21 to generate a threaded tightening force, the clamping block 22 is driven toward or away from the base plate 11, thereby pressing or loosening the bottom plate 42 against the base plate 11. It should be noted that the method of pushing the bottom plate 42 upward and pressing it against the base plate 11 is not limited to a knob; other feasible methods such as hydraulic pressure are permitted in this application.

[0042] Preferably, in one embodiment, the slider 33 includes a dial height gauge, which can more accurately measure the detection data of the precision dial indicator 34 at a specific height position, making the final measurement data more accurate.

[0043] Preferably, in one embodiment, the base 31 is movably disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 11, including: the base 31 is made of a magnetic material, and the substrate 11 is made of steel. During actual operation, the base 31 is pushed to the desired position, and the magnetic force between the base 31 and the substrate 11 automatically and firmly adsorbs the base 31 to the substrate 11, thereby achieving rapid movement while ensuring that the lower surface of the base 31 and the upper surface of the substrate 11 are in close contact, thereby minimizing errors. In a specific embodiment, the substrate 11 is made of quenched and tempered No. 45 steel, which has high strength and is not easily deformed during long-term use.

[0044] Preferably, in one embodiment, the base 31 is movably disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 11, including: a surface of the base 31 that contacts the substrate 11 is a suction cup structure. During operation, the base 31 is moved to a desired position, and the suction cup is activated to attach the base 31 to the substrate 11, similarly achieving rapid movement while ensuring that the lower surface of the base 31 is in close contact with the upper surface of the substrate 11. It should be noted that other technical solutions that can ensure that the base 31 is freely movable and fixed on the substrate 11 are permitted in this application.

[0045] Furthermore, in one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, a connecting plate 35 is fixed to the slider 33; the precision dial indicator 34 is connected to the connecting plate 35 via a dial base 36. In a specific embodiment, the connecting plate 35 and the slider 33, the precision dial indicator 34 and the dial base 36, and the dial base 36 and the connecting plate 35 are all connected by bolts.

[0046] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a driving member is further included; the driving member is connected to the slider 33 and is used to drive the slider 33 to slide up and down along the slide bar 32. In a specific embodiment, in order to make the up and down sliding of the slider 33 more stable and uniform, the driving member can be used to push the slider 33 to move, thereby making the measurement data more accurate.
