Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of dimension measuring devices, and in particular to a device for measuring the cross-sectional dimensions of a railway passenger car steel structure. Background Art
[0002] During the manufacturing and maintenance of railway passenger cars, ensuring that the cross-sectional dimensions of the car body steel structure meet design requirements is crucial. Especially during new construction or major modifications, the reassembly of side walls or steel structures requires precise control of diagonal length and vehicle width to ensure structural stability and driving safety. However, traditional measurement methods have many shortcomings.
[0003] Currently, the most common measurement method is manual measurement using a tape measure. Measuring the diagonal difference typically requires two people: one person stands on a saddle, holding one end of the tape measure against the base of the side wall's upper beam, while the other person extends the tape measure to the intersection of the diagonal underframe beam and the side wall, reading the length of one diagonal. The two people then measure the other diagonal length of the same section in the same manner, calculating the difference between the two to determine the diagonal difference of the steel structure section. This method is not only inefficient but also requires frequent movement of the saddle, increasing the complexity and labor intensity of the operation.
[0004] Similarly, measuring the width of a vehicle requires two people: one person holds one end of the tape measure against the outer end face of the side wall column or the inner surface of the side wall panel, while the other person extends the tape measure to the opposite side and reads the value. To obtain the vehicle width difference, measurements must be taken at the top, middle, and bottom of the vehicle height, and the difference between the measurements at each position is calculated. This method also suffers from low efficiency and high labor intensity, especially when measuring the upper vehicle width, as both people need to stand on a stool, further increasing the difficulty and safety risks.
[0005] Furthermore, due to the varying degrees of tension in the tape measure, readings can vary significantly, resulting in poor measurement accuracy. This lack of accuracy is crucial in the manufacturing and maintenance of railway coaches, as it directly impacts their structural stability and driving safety. Utility Model Content

[0009] In one embodiment, a first plug is provided at the end of the first ruler rod, and a second plug is provided at the other end of the second ruler rod away from the first plug.
[0010] In one embodiment, the cross-sections of the first plug and the second plug along the axial direction are tapered.

[0021] The terms used in the implementation section of this application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The implementation of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a device for measuring the cross-sectional dimensions of a railway passenger car steel structure according to this embodiment includes a first ruler 1, a second ruler 2, and a connecting assembly 3. A graduated ruler 21 is provided on the first ruler 1 to provide a reference during measurement. The second ruler 2 is arranged parallel to the first ruler 1 and is provided with markings 11 for accurately reading the measured value. The connecting assembly 3 connects the first ruler 1 and the second ruler 2, allowing the two rulers to slide relative to each other along the axis, thereby adjusting and measuring the cross-sectional dimensions of the railway passenger car steel structure.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a first plug 4 is provided at the end of the first ruler 1, and a second plug 5 is provided at the other end of the second ruler 2 away from the first plug 4. The cross-sections of the first plug 4 and the second plug 5 along the axial direction are conical, which is intended to reduce the area of the end to reduce the error in the measurement process. The design of the conical plug reduces its contact area with the object to be measured (such as the steel structure of a railway passenger car), making it easier to achieve accurate contact point positioning. During the measurement process, the reduction in contact area means a smaller error range, because even if there is a slight offset or unevenness, the impact on the overall measurement result will be limited to a smaller range. When using a flat plug, the edge part may cause errors due to unevenness or wear. The design of the conical plug can effectively avoid this edge effect, because the measurement mainly relies on the precise contact of the cone tip.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the first plug 4 and the second plug 5 are machined parts, and the first ruler rod and the second ruler rod are connected to the plugs by screws. When the plugs are worn, they can be quickly and conveniently replaced, thereby extending the service life of the measuring device and improving the accuracy of the measurement.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment further includes a stopper 6. This stopper 6 is mounted on the second ruler 2 and is used to limit the reset position of the second ruler 2. During measurement, when the second ruler 2 slides to the desired position, the stopper 6 ensures that the second ruler 2 accurately returns to its initial position upon reset, thereby improving measurement stability and repeatability.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment further refines the connecting component 3. The connecting component 3 includes a sliding member 31 and a fixing member 32. The upper part of the sliding member 31 is fixed to the left end of the first ruler rod 1, and the lower part of the sliding member 31 is sleeved on the second ruler rod 2, so that the first ruler rod 1 can slide along the axial direction of the second ruler rod 2. The lower part of the fixing member 32 is fixed to the right end of the second ruler rod 2, and the upper part of the fixing member 32 is sleeved on the first ruler rod 1, which is used to fix the position of the first ruler rod 1 to prevent it from shifting during the measurement process. The design of the sliding member 31 and the fixing member 32 not only ensures the accuracy of the measurement, but also improves the stability and durability of the measuring device.
