[0034] The first telescopic part 32 is fixedly provided with a connecting plate 34 through the support frame 31. The bottom of the connecting plate 34 is fixedly provided with a motor 35, and one of the vertical rods 21 is connected to the output end of the motor 35. The outer circumferential surface of the vertical rod 21 is fixedly sleeved with an arc-shaped plate 33. The other vertical rod 21 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped plate 33.

[0035] The top of the connecting plate 34 is symmetrically provided with two guide rods 36, both of which pass through the support frame 31 and are slidably connected to the support frame 31.

[0036] The arc-shaped plate 33 is provided with a first through hole 4, and a guide rod 41 is horizontally arranged in the first through hole 4. A sliding block 42 is slidably arranged on the guide rod 41, and the bottom of the sliding block 42 is fixedly connected to the top of one of the vertical rods 21.

[0037] The top of the sliding block 42 is provided with a screw rod 5 which passes through the first through hole 4. The outer circumferential surface of the screw rod 5 is sleeved with a nut 51, and the bottom of the nut 51 is in contact with the top of the arc-shaped plate 33.

[0038] The bottom of the vertical rod 21 connected to the motor 35 is conical, and when the top of the cone is in contact with the bottom plate 11, the bottom of the other vertical rod 21 is at a distance from the bottom plate 11.

[0039] The lower half of one side of each of the two vertical rods 21 is fixedly provided with a distance sensor 22, and the two distance sensors 22 are oppositely arranged. One of the distance sensors 22 is located in the connecting rod big end hole, and the other distance sensor 22 is located outside the connecting rod big end.

[0040] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0041] First, the operator selects the appropriate big end positioning block 12 according to the actual situation.

[0042] Then, the connecting rod is placed on the bottom plate 11, and the big end positioning block 12 is located in the connecting rod big end hole. The operator tries to keep the connecting rod parallel to the length direction of the bottom plate 11.

[0043] Next, the operator rotates the rotating plate 61, and the rotating plate 61 drives the pressing block 63 to move to the middle of the connecting rod.

[0044] As the pressing block 63 gradually moves downward, the pressing block 63 comes into contact with the connecting rod and fixes the position of the connecting rod.

[0045] Next, the operator first adjusts the position of the movable vertical rod 21, adjusts and fixes the position of the vertical rod 21 by changing the relative position of the nut 51 and the top of the arc-shaped plate 33.

[0046] After adjusting the position of the vertical rod 21, the operator first connects the power supply, starts the first telescopic part 32, and drives the connecting plate 34 to move downward, and the connecting plate 34 drives the motor 35 to move downward.

[0047] The bottom of the vertical rod 21 is conical and located in the small head hole, and the other vertical rod 21 is located outside the connecting rod.

[0048] At this time, the distance sensors 22 on the two vertical rods 21 are respectively directed to the inner hole wall of the small head end and the outer hole wall of the small head end.

[0049] In addition, the light emitted by the distance sensors 22 on the two vertical rods 21 is parallel.

[0050] Before measuring the wall thickness of the small head hole and after adjusting the position of one of the vertical rods 21, the two distance sensors 22 are started, and the verticals measured by the distance sensors 22 are sent to the receiving device.

[0051] It is particularly pointed out that the verticals measured by each distance sensor 22 are the straight-line distances between the two vertical rods 21, which are denoted as L1 in the embodiment.

[0052] In the actual test process, the verticals measured by the two distance sensors 22 are denoted as L2 and L3, respectively, and the wall thickness L5 of the small head end at this position is equal to L1 minus L2 minus L3.

[0053] In order to measure the wall thickness of the small head end at multiple positions, the motor 35 is automatically controlled by the control program, and the motor 35 drives the arc-shaped plate 33 to rotate, and the arc-shaped plate 33 drives the two vertical rods 21 to synchronously rotate during the rotation process.

[0054] In the embodiment, the motor 35 rotates by ten degrees, and then is temporarily stopped, and waits for about ten seconds, and during the ten seconds, the two distance sensors 22 measure the wall thickness of the small head end at this position.

[0055] In the embodiment, the maximum rotation distance of the motor 35 is one hundred and eighty degrees, and during the rotation process of the arc-shaped plate 33, the arc-shaped plate 33 does not contact the connecting plate 34.

[0056] The wall thickness values of the small head end at multiple positions can be quickly calculated by the external receiving device.

[0057] The embodiments of the specific implementation mode are the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the utility model, so that: equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the utility model should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model.
