[0030] It should be noted that the positioning member 2 in the embodiments of the utility model can adopt the same shape as the joint connecting hole, and the maximum outer diameter of the positioning member 2 is the same as the inner diameter of the joint connecting hole.

[0031] In addition, in the embodiments of the utility model, the tool and the joint connecting rod are placed on the plane workbench during measurement, and the plane workbench needs to meet the required flatness requirement.

[0032] When using, positioning member 2 is installed on body 1, when positioning member 2 is inserted into the connecting hole of joint connecting rod, the positioning of the joint end of the tool to joint connecting rod is realized, the joint end of the connecting rod is fixed through positioning member 2, and positioning member 2 can preliminarily position the joint, that is, during measurement, the first reference surface of body 1 is used as one side plane, and the rubber joint metal mounting surface of one end of the connecting rod is used as the other side plane, and the size is detected by using a vernier caliper, so that the pre-assembly size can be quickly measured, and the measurement error is significantly reduced.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2In some embodiments, the main body 1 includes two supporting parts 101 and a connecting part 102. The connecting part 102 is used to connect the two supporting parts 101. The two supporting parts 101 and the connecting part 102 are arranged at 90 degrees. That is, the main body 1 is composed of the two supporting parts 101 and the connecting part 102, and the two supporting parts 101 and the connecting part 102 are arranged at 90 degrees, so that the main body 1 has a U-shaped structure. The positioning member 2 is installed at the center of the connecting part 102. Therefore, when measuring, when the positioning member 2 is inserted into the joint connection hole, the support part 101 can be avoided. 1 causes interference to the connecting rod, and the support part 101 can support the entire tooling, and at the same time can ensure a fixed gap between the positioning part 2 and the measuring platform, so that the connecting rod as a whole remains parallel to the measuring platform, which is conducive to further improving the accuracy of measuring the length of the connecting rod. At the same time, the first reference plane is formed by the same side of the two supporting parts and the connecting part, that is, one side of the main body is the first reference plane, and the first reference plane is parallel to the positioning part. When measuring, the first reference plane is parallel to the plane of the connecting rod end, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement.

[0035] In other embodiments, the support portion 101 adopts a structure with adjustable thickness. Specifically, a top plate is provided at the bottom of one of the support portions 101, and an adjusting screw 4 is rotatably installed on the top plate. The adjusting screw 4 is threadedly engaged with the support portion 101. That is to say, when the support height needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to rotate the top plate. By adjusting the threaded engagement between the screw 4 and the support portion 101, the distance between the top plate and the support portion 101 is adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the support height, so that the tooling can adapt to the measurement of connecting rods of more sizes.

[0036] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting portion 102 and the two supporting portions 101 are made of aluminum alloy material and are manufactured in an integrated molding manner.

During measurement, it is tightly attached to the work platform, which is conducive to further improving the accuracy of measuring the length of the connecting rod.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 In some embodiments, the positioning member 2 is a cylindrical structure and has the same diameter as the connection hole of the joint connecting rod. That is to say, a cylindrical positioning member 2 is used and inserted into the joint connection hole. At the same time, the diameter of the positioning member 2 is the same as the inner diameter of the joint connection hole, so as to ensure the centering of the connection hole, avoid the situation where the center position of the connection hole cannot be determined, and further improve the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0040] Optionally, in the above embodiment, the end of the positioning member 2 away from the connecting portion 102 adopts a chamfered structure to facilitate the insertion of the positioning member 2 into the connecting hole.

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, before inserting the positioning member 2 into the connecting hole, lithium-based grease is applied to the surface of the positioning member 2 to increase the smoothness of the surface of the positioning member 2 and facilitate quick insertion into the connecting hole.

[0042] In the above embodiment, optionally, the positioning member 2 is detachably mounted on the connecting portion 102 , and different positioning members 2 can be quickly replaced by the disassembly structure to meet the detection requirements of connecting rods of different sizes.

[0043] Optionally, in some embodiments, a screw 4 is fixed to one end of the positioning member 2, and a through hole 3 is provided on the connecting portion 102.

[0045] In other embodiments, the positioning member 2 is a conical structure. Through the conical structure, it can not only adapt to connecting holes of different sizes, but also center connecting holes of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the tooling when used, avoiding the need to replace the tooling when measuring connecting rods of different sizes, and improving the efficiency of measurement.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, a tightening mechanism is provided on the main body 1, which is used to ensure that the connecting hole of the joint connecting rod is in close contact with the positioning member 2, and the tightening mechanism is used to tighten the connecting rod toward the conical positioning member 2 to ensure effective centering of the connecting hole.

[0047] In the above embodiment, optionally, the tightening structure is a push rod rotatably mounted on the support portion 101, the push rod is an L-shaped structure, and a torsion spring is provided at the rotating connection between the push rod and the support portion 101 to drive the push rod to rotate toward the positioning member 2, thereby tightening the connecting rod through the push rod.

[0048] In other embodiments, the tightening mechanism is a magnet fixed on the connecting part 102. The magnet is annular and is arranged coaxially with the positioning member 2. Through the magnetism of the magnet, the connecting rod is pulled toward the connecting part 102, thereby achieving close contact between the connecting hole and the positioning member 2.

[0049] In the above embodiment, optionally, a spring is provided between the magnet and the connecting portion 102. When the magnet is attracted to the connecting rod, the spring pulls the rod toward the connecting portion 102 and provides a pre-tightening force to achieve close contact between the connecting hole and the positioning member 2.

[0050] That is to say, the focus of the embodiment of the present invention is that when the positioning member 2 is inserted into the connecting hole of the joint connecting rod, the tooling is used to position the joint end of the joint connecting rod, and the joint end of the connecting rod is fixed through the positioning member 2, and the positioning member 2 can perform preliminary centering of the joint. That is to say, when measuring, the plane of the main body 1 is used as one side plane, and the metal mounting surface of the rubber joint at one end of the connecting rod is used as the other side plane.
