Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of detection equipment, in particular to a measurement conversion mechanism. Background Art
[0002] A dial indicator is a universal length measuring tool that utilizes a precision rack and pinion mechanism. The dial indicator operates by amplifying the minute linear movement of a measuring rod caused by the measured dimension through a gear transmission, converting it into the rotation of a pointer on a graduated dial, thereby reading the measured dimension. A dial indicator utilizes a rack and pinion or lever gear transmission to convert the linear displacement of the measuring rod into the angular displacement of the pointer. Due to this design principle, existing dial indicators are difficult to read when measuring a product at the bottom of the product (i.e., at a horizontal position on the bottom surface), requiring the indicator to measure at ±90 degrees from the product.

[0040] 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.
[0041] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , this application provides the following technical solutions:
[0042] A measurement conversion mechanism includes a base, on which a dial indicator support seat 1 and a conversion member support seat 2 are provided. The dial indicator support seat 1 is used to support a dial indicator 101, and the dial indicator support seat 1 is sufficient to place the dial indicator 101 in a horizontal position. The conversion member support seat 2 is provided on one side of the dial indicator support seat 1 and is located on the detection end side of the dial indicator 101; the detection position of the conversion mechanism is located above the conversion member support seat 2, which is used to place the product 100 to be detected; the conversion component 3 is connected to the conversion member support seat 2, one end of the conversion component 3 extends to the upper side of the conversion member support seat 2, that is, below the product 100, and the other end extends to the horizontal side of the conversion member support seat 2 and extends toward the direction of the dial indicator support seat 1; the conversion component 3 can convert the downward displacement of the product 100 into a horizontal displacement.
[0043] The change in displacement direction during the detection process is achieved through the conversion component 3, so that the horizontally placed dial indicator 101 can also detect vertical movement.
[0044] Based on the above embodiment, the dial indicator support base 1 includes a first support body 11, which is provided with a through-hole for connecting a dial indicator 101. The axis of the through-hole is horizontally arranged, and the through-hole is a through-hole. The detection portion of the dial indicator 101 can be inserted into the through-hole and extends to the side of the through-hole facing the converter support base 2. A sleeve 12 is mounted within the through-hole of the first support body 11. The interior of the sleeve 12 is a through-hole whose inner diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of the housing structure of the detection portion of the dial indicator 101.
[0045] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The dial indicator 101 is plugged and fixed with the help of the shaft sleeve 12. This is because different dial indicators have different structures, such as the outer diameter of the external housing where the detection part is located. In this case, only the inner diameter of the shaft sleeve 12 needs to be adaptively modified. If this mechanism is produced in large quantities, several matching shaft sleeves 12 can be prefabricated for common dial indicators 101 on the market, and can be replaced according to specific circumstances during use.
[0046] Based on the above embodiment, a sleeve 12 extends toward the side of the dial indicator support base 1 away from the conversion member support base 2; a washer 13 is provided at this end of the sleeve 12, and the washer 13 is detachably connected to the sleeve 12. The provision of the washer 13 also allows for a certain degree of adaptability to different models of dial indicators 101. Unlike the sleeve 12, the washer 13 primarily adapts to the length of the dial indicator 101's detection rod. By varying the overall thickness of the washer 13, different dial indicators 101 can be used with it.
[0047] Based on the above embodiment, the conversion assembly 3 includes a trigger member 31 and a feedback member 32. The trigger member 31 is mounted on the upper portion of the conversion member support base 2, below the product 100, with its upper end abutting against the lower side of the product 100; the end of the trigger member 31 facing the product has a rounded head; the feedback member 32 is mounted on the horizontal side of the conversion member support base 2, abutting against the detection end of the dial indicator 101; the end of the feedback member 32 facing the dial indicator 101 has a flat head.
[0048] In other words, the trigger member 31 is used to contact and push the product 100 when it moves, while the feedback member 32 is used to push the detection rod of the dial indicator 101. The trigger member 31 with a round head structure can make its contact point with the product 100 smaller and more precise, and it can also better withstand force. The feedback member 32 with a flat head structure is designed to facilitate pushing the detection rod of the dial indicator 101.
[0049] Based on the above implementation plan, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The conversion component support base 2 includes a second support body 21, which is fixedly mounted on the base and has an arc-shaped channel 22 formed therein. To facilitate the installation of various components, the second support body 21 adopts a split structure, including a base support and a cover plate, and the channel 22 is provided between the base support and the cover plate. The cover plate and the base support are detachably connected, which facilitates the installation and connection of the conversion assembly 3.
[0050] The conversion assembly 3 includes a conversion member 33 . The conversion member 33 is disposed in the channel 22 . One end of the conversion member 33 contacts the trigger member 31 , and the other end contacts the feedback member 32 .
[0051] Two through holes are respectively opened at both ends of the channel 22. The trigger member 31 and the feedback member 32 both adopt a "convex" structure. The thinner outer diameter portion can pass through the through hole of the channel 22, while the thicker portion plays a limiting role in the channel 22.
[0052] The specific selection of the conversion part 33 is not limited to liquid or solid. It only needs to ensure that the material of the conversion part 33 itself will not be excessively deformed due to external pressure and can transmit the force of the trigger part 31 to the feedback part 32. For example, oil can be used as a material for the conversion part 33. Of course, when using liquid as the conversion part 33, attention must be paid to the sealing of each structure.
[0053] Based on the above embodiment, the channel 22 is in an arc shape, and the angle corresponding to the central angle is 90°. The conversion member 33 is made of a rigid material and is in an arc shape corresponding to the channel 22 .
[0054] Because the use of a liquid conversion member 33 will make the entire mechanism much more difficult to manufacture, this solution provides an example of a conversion member 33 made of a rigid material. Figure 5 , which is the conversion part 33 used in this solution.
[0055] To ensure smooth movement of the conversion member 33, grooves are provided on both the inside and outside of the conversion member 33, extending along the arcuate structure of the conversion member 33. Several spherical guide members 34 are positioned within the grooves on either side of the conversion member 33. Corresponding guide grooves are provided within the guide members 34 within the channel 22; half of the sphere of the guide member 34 lies within the guide groove, while the other half lies within the groove of the conversion member 33.
[0056] With this structure, the conversion member 33 can be easily moved in the channel 22 .
[0057] On the basis of the above implementation scheme, a dial indicator reset part 102 is further provided on the base. The dial indicator reset part 102 can be selected from existing technology, and the dial indicator 101 can be reset to zero by it.
[0058] Based on the above embodiment, the trigger element 32 comprises a thick portion and a thin portion. The thick portion is the portion located within the channel 22, while the thin portion extends through the through hole of the channel 22 to the outside. The end of the thin portion is flat. An elastic structure, such as a spring or other similar structure, is positioned between the thick portion and the inner wall of the channel 22. On the one hand, the weight of the conversion element 33 may cause it to slide downward in its natural state, affecting the detection results. On the other hand, the reset of the conversion element 33 after the detection is completed must be considered. Therefore, the provision of an elastic structure can address both of these issues.
[0059] On the basis of the above embodiment, a threaded hole is provided on the washer 13 , and the dial indicator 1 can be clamped and fixed by screwing a bolt thereon.
