Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of measuring tools, and specifically relates to a carbon fiber measuring ruler for measuring workpieces with large diameters. Background Art
[0002] Traditional measuring tools, such as calipers, vernier calipers, and micrometers, can be difficult to use, difficult to read, cumbersome to change scales, and result in low measurement efficiency and accuracy when measuring large-diameter workpieces. To address these issues, existing measuring devices with auxiliary fixtures and adjustable stages have emerged, as have designs using different materials to increase the strength and reduce the weight of measuring tools.
[0003] During the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, it was found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:
[0004] These existing technologies still have limitations such as complex operation, inconvenient maintenance, and high cost. Therefore, the present utility model proposes an improved measuring ruler. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a carbon fiber measuring ruler for measuring large diameter workpieces, so as to solve the limitations of the prior art mentioned in the above background technology, such as complex operation, inconvenient maintenance and high cost.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a carbon fiber measuring ruler for measuring large-diameter workpieces, which is designed to provide a high-precision, durable and easy-to-operate measuring tool, particularly suitable for measuring the diameter of large-sized circular workpieces in industrial production. The measuring ruler is made of carbon fiber material, which not only ensures the lightness and high strength of the structure, but also has good corrosion resistance and temperature stability, making it suitable for use in various environments.
[0007] This measuring ruler is designed to meet the precise measurement needs of workpieces of varying sizes. Therefore, it includes a large, strip-shaped base plate. This long, strip-shaped base plate adapts to various workpiece sizes, ensuring accurate and convenient measurement. To achieve optimal performance, the base plate is constructed from carbon fiber. Carbon fiber offers exceptional strength and rigidity, while also being lightweight. This reduces fatigue during extended use, improving efficiency and measurement accuracy.
[0008] Several support collars are strategically placed evenly on both ends of the baseplate. These collars not only provide additional support but, more importantly, ensure the stability of the ruler during use. This stability is crucial, as it directly impacts the accuracy of measurement results. These collars ensure the ruler remains stable in a variety of working environments, ensuring reliable measurement data.
[0009] A measuring plate is meticulously installed above the base plate. The center of this measuring plate features a sophisticated fitting groove specifically designed for the mounting base. The mounting base can be flexibly embedded in either a sliding or fixed manner, ensuring that the mounting base does not shift during measurement, guaranteeing measurement accuracy. Furthermore, a specially designed strip groove is incorporated into the mounting base, which houses a soft scale for internal dimensions. Soft scales for internal dimensions are typically made of flexible materials, which facilitates reading the inner diameter and allows for easy replacement between different measurement tasks to accommodate various measurement requirements. This design not only increases measurement flexibility but also significantly improves efficiency and accuracy.
[0010] The measuring plate features a specially designed external scale for directly reading the workpiece's outer diameter. To further enhance measurement flexibility and accuracy, a movable platform is installed above the measuring plate. This platform is designed to accommodate workpieces of varying sizes and shapes, allowing users to adjust it to find the optimal measurement position. The platform's underside also features a connecting seat housing a rolling bearing. Rolling bearings are common mechanical components used in a wide variety of machinery and equipment. They consist of four basic components: an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements, and a cage. The basic function of a rolling bearing is to bear and transmit loads by rolling elements rolling between the inner and outer rings, thereby enabling relative rotation between mechanical components. The advantages of rolling bearings include low friction, low starting resistance, and smooth and precise rotational motion. Furthermore, rolling bearings are relatively easy to maintain, have a long service life, and can maintain excellent performance in harsh operating environments. Common types of rolling bearings include deep groove ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, spherical roller bearings, and tapered roller bearings. Each type has its own unique structure and application. When selecting a rolling bearing, factors such as load capacity, speed, operating temperature, lubrication method, and installation space need to be considered. The correct selection and use of rolling bearings can significantly improve the operating efficiency and reliability of mechanical equipment, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. The lower end of the rolling bearing fits tightly against the inner dimension soft scale. This ingenious design allows the inner dimension soft scale to be effectively compacted by the rolling action of the rolling bearing as it is inserted into the strip groove. This not only facilitates the installation of the inner dimension soft scale but also greatly simplifies the process of replacing the inner dimension soft scale, improving overall measurement efficiency and accuracy.
[0011] To further enhance measurement accuracy, a specially designed auxiliary clamping plate has been added to the measuring plate. This clamping plate works closely with the movable table to facilitate clamping of large-diameter workpieces. This design ensures the workpiece remains stable during the measurement process, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results. The addition of the auxiliary clamping plate not only enhances the overall performance of the measurement system but also provides greater convenience for the operator, making the entire measurement process more efficient and accurate. The auxiliary clamping plate is located at the zero mark on the outer scale, ensuring an accurate starting point for measurement. The length and width of the measuring plate are identical to those of the large strip base plate, ensuring the overall stability and durability of the measuring scale. Furthermore, the parallelism between the measuring plate and base plate ensures measurement accuracy.
[0012] The movable stage design includes two longitudinal support plates, a transverse support plate, and polyurethane bearings. There are two longitudinal support plates, with the transverse support plate positioned above them. A number of polyurethane bearings, evenly spaced between the two longitudinal support plates, provide rolling support for the measuring plate. The polyurethane bearings offer excellent wear resistance and self-lubricating properties, reducing friction between the movable stage and the measuring plate, thereby improving measurement sensitivity and accuracy.
[0013] To facilitate precise control and adjustment of the movable stage during measurement, the designers have designed a movable handle on the top of the stage. This handle is designed to allow the operator to easily push or pull the stage, quickly and accurately adjusting it to the desired measurement position. The shape and size of the handle have been carefully designed and optimized to accommodate different hand shapes and gripping habits, ensuring a comfortable feel and grip even during extended use. This design not only enhances operational convenience but also significantly improves measurement efficiency and accuracy.
[0014] In summary, this carbon fiber measuring ruler, through its unique design, not only improves measurement accuracy and efficiency, but also ensures durability and stability through the use of carbon fiber materials. Its flexible movable table design and easily replaceable internal dimension soft scale make it an ideal choice for measuring large diameter workpieces in industrial production.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this new ruler offers the following advantages: its use of carbon fiber increases its strength and rigidity while reducing its overall weight, making it easier to operate and carry. The design of the support collar allows the measuring plate to be stably supported at various angles and positions, adapting to the measurement needs of workpieces of varying diameters.
[0016] The embedded design of the internal dimension soft scale and the use of rolling bearings make it easy to install and replace, improving the maintenance efficiency of the measuring scale. The auxiliary clamping plate and movable table can be used together to stably clamp large diameter workpieces to ensure measurement accuracy and repeatability.
[0017] The polyurethane bearing design of the movable stage reduces friction between the measuring plate and the movable stage, making the movable stage move more smoothly and improving measurement accuracy. The movable stage handle makes it easy for the operator to move the movable stage for precise measurement.
[0018] The parallel design of the measuring plate and the large-size strip bottom plate ensures stability during measurement and reduces measurement errors. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] See also Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a carbon fiber ruler for measuring large-diameter workpieces. Designed to provide a highly accurate, durable, and easy-to-use measuring tool, it is particularly suitable for measuring the diameter of large circular workpieces in industrial production. The ruler's use of carbon fiber ensures a lightweight and high-strength structure while also offering excellent corrosion resistance and temperature stability, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments.
[0025] This measuring ruler is designed to meet the precise measurement needs of workpieces of varying sizes. Therefore, it includes a large, strip-shaped base plate 1. This long, strip-shaped base plate 1 adapts to various workpiece sizes, ensuring accurate and convenient measurement. To achieve optimal performance, carbon fiber is used as the material for base plate 1. Carbon fiber not only offers exceptional strength and rigidity, but is also lightweight, allowing operators to use the ruler with minimal fatigue for extended periods, thereby improving work efficiency and measurement accuracy.
[0026] Several support collars 2 are strategically placed evenly on both ends of the base plate 1. These collars not only provide additional support but, more importantly, ensure the stability of the ruler during use. This stability is crucial, as it directly impacts the accuracy of measurement results. Thanks to these collars, the ruler remains stable in a variety of working environments, ensuring the reliability of measurement data.
[0027] A measuring plate 4 is carefully installed above the base plate 1. A sophisticated fitting groove 5 is designed in the middle of the measuring plate 4, which is specifically used for fitting the mounting seat 3. The embedding method of the mounting seat 3 can be flexibly selected, which can be either sliding embedding or fixed embedding, so as to ensure that the mounting seat 3 will not be displaced during the measurement process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement. In addition, a strip groove 6 is specially designed on the mounting seat 3, and the strip groove 6 is embedded with an internal dimension soft scale 7. The internal dimension soft scale 7 is usually made of flexible material. The advantage of this is that it is easy to read the inner diameter size, and it is also easy to replace between different measurement tasks to adapt to the measurement needs of various sizes. This design not only improves the flexibility of measurement, but also greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of measurement.
[0028] The surface of the measuring plate 4 features a specially designed external scale 8, which allows for direct reading of the workpiece's outer diameter. To further enhance measurement flexibility and accuracy, a movable platform 9 is mounted above the measuring plate 4. This platform is designed to accommodate workpieces of varying sizes and shapes, allowing users to adjust it to find the optimal measurement position. The lower side of the platform 9 also features a connecting base 10, which houses a rolling bearing 11. Rolling bearings are common mechanical components used in a wide variety of mechanical equipment. They consist of four basic components: an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements, and a cage. The fundamental function of a rolling bearing is to bear and transmit loads by rolling elements between the inner and outer rings, thereby enabling relative rotation between mechanical components. The advantages of rolling bearings include low friction, low starting resistance, and smooth and precise rotational motion. Furthermore, rolling bearings are relatively easy to maintain, have a long service life, and can maintain excellent performance in harsh operating environments. Common types of rolling bearings include deep groove ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, self-aligning roller bearings, tapered roller bearings, etc. Each type has its own unique structure and applicable occasions. When selecting a rolling bearing, factors such as its load-bearing capacity, rotational speed, operating temperature, lubrication method, and installation space need to be considered. The correct selection and use of rolling bearings can significantly improve the operating efficiency and reliability of mechanical equipment, reduce maintenance costs and downtime. The lower end of the rolling bearing 11 is tightly against the inner dimension soft scale 7. This ingenious design enables the inner dimension soft scale 7 to be effectively compacted by the rolling action of the rolling bearing 11 during the process of embedding the inner dimension soft scale 7 into the strip groove 6. In this way, not only is the installation of the inner dimension soft scale 7 facilitated, but the process of replacing the inner dimension soft scale 7 is also greatly simplified, thereby improving the overall measurement efficiency and accuracy.
[0029] In order to further improve the accuracy of measurement, an auxiliary clamping plate 13 is specially designed and added to the measuring plate 4. This auxiliary clamping plate 13 works closely with the movable table 9 to complete the clamping of large-diameter workpieces. Through this design, it can be ensured that the workpiece to be measured remains stable during the measurement process, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results. The addition of the auxiliary clamping plate 13 not only enhances the overall performance of the measurement system, but also provides more convenience for the operator, making the entire measurement process more efficient and accurate. The auxiliary clamping plate 13 is located at the zero scale line of the outer scale 8 to ensure that the starting point of the measurement is accurate. The length and width of the measuring plate 4 are equal to the length and width of the large-sized strip base plate 1, ensuring the overall stability and durability of the measuring scale. At the same time, the measuring plate 4 and the base plate 1 are parallel to each other, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement.
[0030] The movable platform 9 is designed to include two longitudinal support plates 9-1, transverse support plates 9-2, and polyurethane bearings 9-3. There are two longitudinal support plates 9-1, with transverse support plates 9-2 positioned above each of the two longitudinal support plates 9-1. A number of polyurethane bearings 9-3 are evenly spaced between the two longitudinal support plates 9-1 and provide rolling support for the measuring plate 4. The polyurethane bearings 9-3 offer excellent wear resistance and self-lubricating properties, reducing friction between the movable platform 9 and the measuring plate 4, thereby improving measurement sensitivity and accuracy.
[0031] To facilitate precise control and adjustment of the movable platform 9 during measurement, the designers have designed a movable handle 12 at its top. This handle 12 is designed to allow the operator to easily push or pull the movable platform 9, quickly and accurately adjusting it to the desired measurement position. The shape and size of the handle 12 have been carefully designed and optimized to accommodate different hand shapes and gripping habits, ensuring a comfortable grip and feel even during extended use. This design not only enhances operational convenience but also significantly improves measurement efficiency and accuracy.
[0032] In summary, this carbon fiber measuring ruler, through its unique design, not only improves measurement accuracy and efficiency, but also ensures durability and stability through the use of carbon fiber materials. Its flexible movable table design and easily replaceable internal dimension soft scale make it an ideal choice for measuring large diameter workpieces in industrial production.
