Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inner diameter detection equipment, in particular to an inner diameter detection device for a finished powder metallurgy workpiece. Background Art

[0002] In the powder metallurgy industry, inside diameter inspection is a critical step in ensuring the quality of finished parts. Powder metallurgy is a process that forms products by compacting metal powder under high pressure and then heating it to a certain temperature to create metallurgical bonding between the powder particles. Due to the high porosity of powder metallurgy products, their internal structure and dimensional accuracy are often difficult to achieve through conventional casting or forging methods. Therefore, inside diameter inspection is particularly important. Inside diameter inspection accurately measures the internal pore size of the workpiece, helping to identify defects caused by deformation and misalignment during processes such as pressing and sintering. This is particularly true in the manufacture of precision mechanical parts, automotive components, and parts used in the aerospace industry. Furthermore, inside diameter inspection effectively monitors variations in the production process, allowing for timely adjustment of process parameters to improve production efficiency and product quality consistency. Inside diameter inspection not only impacts the quality of individual parts but also serves as a crucial guarantee for the quality and profitability of the entire powder metallurgy production line.

[0003] At present, the inner diameter inspection of finished powder metallurgy workpieces is traditionally done manually using plug gauges. If the through end of the plug gauge can pass through but the stop end cannot, the product is judged to be qualified. Although fully automatic full inspection machines use plug gauges to detect the inner diameter of the workpiece, it is difficult to guarantee whether the plug gauge passes through the inner hole. As a result, the plug gauge is easily damaged by continued insertion and extrusion, which reduces the stability and safety of the inner diameter inspection.

[0004] In summary, there is a need for an inner diameter detection device with stable and safe detection operation. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0023] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, the following device for detecting the inner diameter of a finished powder metallurgy workpiece is provided:

[0024] Combine Figures 1-4 As shown, the inner diameter detection device of the finished powder metallurgy workpiece provided by the utility model includes a mounting plate 1, a side support plate 2 is fixed on one side of the mounting plate 1, a fixed push component 3 is provided on the side wall of the side support plate 2, and an inner measuring component 4 is connected to one side of the fixed push component 3, and the inner measuring component 4 includes a movable base plate 41, a buffer cylinder 42, a pressure sensor 43, a linear bearing 44 and a plug gauge 45, the movable base plate 41 is fixed to one side of the fixed push component 3, a buffer cylinder 42 is provided on the side wall of the movable base plate 41, the bottom end of the buffer cylinder 42 is connected to the pressure sensor 43, the bottom end of the pressure sensor 43 is connected to the plug gauge 45, a linear bearing 44 is fixed on the bottom side wall of the movable base plate 41, the plug gauge 45 is slidably inserted into the inside of the linear bearing 44, a fan 5 is provided on the bottom side wall of the side support plate 2, and the air outlet of the fan 5 is arranged along the bottom end of the plug gauge 45, a supporting component 6 is fixed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 1, and one side of the supporting component 6 is arranged at the bottom of the plug gauge 45;

[0025] According to the above structure, the following effects can be achieved: by placing the powder metallurgy workpiece to be inspected on the supporting assembly 6, and then using the fan 5 to clean the surface of the plug gauge 45 to ensure the detection accuracy of the plug gauge 45, and then starting the pushing assembly to directionally push the plug gauge 45 into the inner hole of the workpiece for detection. When the plug gauge 45 encounters resistance, the pressure sensor 43 detects an increase in pressure, and starts the buffer cylinder 42 to buffer the plug gauge 45 to continue inserting, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the workpiece inner diameter detection.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fixed push assembly 3 includes a first fixed plate 31, a slide rail 32, a positioning component 33, a lifting component 34, a second fixed plate 35 and a motor 36. The slide rail 32 is fixed to the side wall of the side support plate 2. The bottom surface of the slide rail 32 is connected to the first fixed plate 31, and the top surface of the slide rail 32 is connected to the second fixed plate 35. The top surface of the second fixed plate 35 is provided with a motor 36. The rotating bottom end of the motor 36 passes through the bottom of the second fixed plate 35. The rotating bottom end of the motor 36 is connected to the lifting component 34. One side of the lifting component 34 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail 32. One side of the lifting component 34 is connected to the movable bottom plate 41. The side wall of the slide rail 32 is provided with a positioning component 33. One side of the lifting component 34 passes through the inside of the positioning component 33 by lifting, and the bottom of the lifting component 34 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first fixed plate 31;

[0027] The lifting component 34 is driven to rise and fall by the motor 36, and the lifting component 34 slides inside the slide rail 32 to ensure the stability of the lifting of the feeler gauge 45. During the lifting process, the position of the lifting component 34 is positioned by the positioning component 33 to ensure the accuracy of the lifting and falling movement of the feeler gauge 45, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the workpiece inner diameter detection.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lifting component 34 includes a bearing seat 341, a screw rod 342, a lifting seat 343 and a grating plate 344. The bearing seat 341 is fixed to the outer wall of the slide rail 32. The bearing seat 341 is rotatably connected to the screw rod 342. The top of the screw rod 342 is fixedly connected to the rotating bottom end of the motor 36. The bottom end of the screw rod 342 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first fixed plate 31. The outer wall of the screw rod 342 is threadedly sleeved with the lifting seat 343. One side of the lifting seat 343 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail 32. The outer wall of the lifting seat 343 is fixed with the movable bottom plate 41. The side wall of the lifting seat 343 is fixed with the grating plate 344. The grating plate 344 and the positioning component 33 are arranged on the same vertical center line. The grating plate 344 is lifted and lowered by the lifting seat 343 and passes through the interior of the positioning component 33.

[0029] By driving the screw rod 342 to move inside the bearing seat 341, the lifting seat 343 is driven to move up and down inside the slide rail 32. This lifting structure is stable and has high precision, further improving the stability of the workpiece inner diameter detection.

[0030] In this embodiment, the positioning component 33 includes a corner mounting plate 331 and a displacement sensor 332. The corner mounting plate 331 is a bent right-angle structure and is fixed to the side wall of the slide rail 32. The displacement sensor 332 is fixed to the inner wall of the right-angle structure of the corner mounting plate 331. A groove 3321 is formed on one side of the displacement sensor 332. The groove 3321 and the grating plate 344 are located on the same vertical centerline.

[0031] When performing inner diameter detection, when the grating plate 344 is moved past the displacement sensor 332, it can be determined that the lifting seat 343 drives the plug gauge 45 to reach the detection position, and then a smaller offset height is performed to continue moving to detect the inner diameter, further improving the detection accuracy. Example 2

[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further provides the following content:

[0033] The supporting assembly 6 includes a fixed seat 61, an inserting plate 62 and a supporting plate 64. The fixed seat 61 is fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 1. The inserting plate 62 is slidably inserted into the fixed seat 61. A supporting plate is fixed to one side of the inserting plate 62. A supporting groove 641 is formed on the top surface of the supporting plate 64. A through hole 642 is formed on the bottom surface of the supporting groove 641.

[0034] By placing the workpiece to be inspected inside the supporting groove 641 of the supporting plate, and then when the plug gauge 45 is inserted into the inner diameter of the inspection, the plug gauge 45 can pass through the through hole 642 to ensure the safety of the plug gauge 45.

[0035] In this embodiment, the supporting assembly 6 further includes a positioning bolt 63 and a positioning plate 65. The positioning plate 65 is fixed to the side wall of the fixing seat 61. The positioning bolt 63 is connected to the interior of the positioning plate 65. The bottom end of the positioning bolt 63 is attached to the top surface of the inserting plate 62.

[0036] After the inserting plate 62 is moved to align the workpiece with the plug gauge 45 , the positioning bolt 63 is rotated to fix the inserting plate 62 to ensure detection stability.

[0037] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0038] Press first Figures 1-4 Place the finished powder metallurgy workpiece in the support groove 641 of the support plate 64, then slide the insert plate 62 inside the fixed groove to align the inner hole of the workpiece with the bottom of the plug gauge 45, rotate the positioning bolt 63 to fix the position of the insert plate 62, and start the fan 5 to blow air to clean the surface of the plug gauge 45;

[0039] Then the motor 36 is started to drive the screw rod 342 to rotate. The screw rod 342 rotates inside the bearing seat 341 to drive the lifting seat 343 to descend. The lifting seat 343 slides downward inside the slide rail 32, driving the internal measurement component 4 to descend as a whole until the grating plate 344 descends and penetrates into the displacement sensor 332. Then the driving speed of the motor 36 is adjusted to slow down the rotation speed of the driving screw rod 342, so that the plug gauge 45 slowly enters the inner hole of the workpiece. Then, when the plug gauge 45 encounters an obstacle and cannot continue to be inserted into the workpiece, the pressure of the pressure sensor 43 increases. At this time, the buffer cylinder 42 is started again to buffer the movement of the plug gauge 45, so that the plug gauge 45 slides inside the linear bearing 44, and the motor 36 drive is stopped immediately to ensure the safety of the plug gauge 45 and the workpiece.
