Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts processing support equipment, specifically a height adjuster with a scale. Background Technology
[0002] When machining irregular parts, height adjusters are needed to support the irregular areas to keep them horizontal. Most existing height adjusters directly adjust the height by rotating an adjusting screw to move the supporting part. However, most existing height adjusters lack a locking mechanism, making them prone to issues like screw slippage and hindering proper support of the machined parts.
[0003] Based on this, a height adjuster with a scale was designed to solve the problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a height adjuster with a scale to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a graduated height adjuster, comprising a support base, an adjusting screw, and a support plate. The adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the support base. The support plate is fixedly disposed at the end of the adjusting screw away from the support base. A locking nut is provided on the adjusting screw, and the locking nut is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw. The locking nut is located between the support base and the support plate, and the side of the locking nut away from the support plate abuts against the support base. The abutment between the locking nut and the support base limits the length of the adjusting screw extending beyond the support base. By providing a locking nut between the support base and the support plate, and utilizing the threaded connection between the locking nut and the adjusting screw, and the abutment between the locking nut and the support base, it is advantageous to limit the rotational movement range of the support base on the adjusting screw, and to lock the rotational adjustment of the support base.
[0006] Furthermore, a first scale bar is provided on the side wall of the adjusting screw, and the first scale bar is arranged along the axis of the adjusting screw.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, fixing the adjusting screw and rotating the locking nut controls the rotation and movement of the locking nut on the adjusting screw, while keeping the adjusting screw fixed during the movement of the locking nut. This ensures that the first scale bar on the adjusting screw faces a fixed direction, facilitating reading. After adjustment, the support base is rotated until it abuts against the locking nut to complete the adjustment. This avoids the need to rotate the adjusting screw when the support base is fixed and cannot be rotated, which would cause the first scale bar to continuously change direction, making reading difficult.
[0008] Furthermore, a second scale is provided on the side of the locking nut away from the support base, and the second scale is arranged in a ring around the axis of the adjusting screw.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the second dial is arranged in a ring on the locking nut, which is beneficial for reading the rotation angle of the locking nut through the second dial.
[0010] Furthermore, the locking nut is provided with a groove, and the second dial is disposed in the groove.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, placing the second dial within the groove helps reduce wear on the second dial.
[0012] Furthermore, the side wall of the locking nut is provided with multiple sets of through holes, and the two sides of the through holes are respectively connected to the outer wall of the locking nut and the inner thread groove of the locking nut.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixing post can be inserted into the internal thread of the through hole. The fixing post and the adjusting screw abut against each other, which is beneficial for locking the position of the locking nut.
[0014] Furthermore, the sidewall of the pallet is provided with a first stress-bearing layer, and the side of the first stress-bearing layer away from the pallet is provided with a grid-like groove.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first force-bearing layer is conducive to applying external force to the pallet, and the pallet and the adjusting screw are fixedly connected to each other. The rotation of the pallet can drive the adjusting screw to rotate.
[0016] Furthermore, the locking nut has a second stress-bearing layer on its sidewall, and the second stress-bearing layer is arranged in a grid pattern on the side away from the locking nut.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the increased friction of the second force-bearing layer helps to apply external force to the locking nut, thereby driving the locking nut to rotate.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By fixing the adjusting screw and rotating the locking nut, the locking nut is controlled to rotate and move on the adjusting screw, and the adjusting screw remains fixed during the movement of the locking nut. This helps to keep the first scale bar on the adjusting screw facing a fixed direction, which is beneficial for reading the scale. After adjustment, the support base is rotated until it abuts against the locking nut to complete the adjustment. This avoids the need to rotate the adjusting screw when the support base is fixed and cannot be rotated, which would cause the orientation of the first scale bar to change continuously, making it difficult to read the scale.

[0026] Combination Figure 1-3 :
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, a graduated height adjuster includes a support base 1, an adjusting screw 2, and a support plate 3. The adjusting screw 2 is threadedly connected to the support base 1. The support plate 3 is fixedly located at the end of the adjusting screw 2 away from the support base 1. A locking nut 4 is provided on the adjusting screw 2, and is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 2. The locking nut 4 is located between the support base 1 and the support plate 3, with the side of the locking nut 4 away from the support plate 3 abutting against the support base 1. The abutting between the locking nut 4 and the support base 1 limits the length of the adjusting screw 2 extending beyond the support base 1. By setting a locking nut 4 between the support base 1 and the tray 3, and using the locking nut 4 to be threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 2, and the locking nut 4 to abut against the support base 1, it is beneficial to limit the rotational movement range of the support base 1 on the adjusting screw 2 by using the locking nut 4, and to lock the rotational adjustment of the support base 1.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a first scale bar 5 is provided on the side wall of the adjusting screw 2, and the first scale bar 5 is arranged along the axis of the adjusting screw 2. A second scale plate 41 is provided on the side of the locking nut 4 away from the support base 1, and the second scale plate 41 is arranged in a ring around the axis of the adjusting screw 2. A groove 42 is provided on the locking nut 4, and the second scale plate 41 is located in the groove 42. By fixing the adjusting screw 2 and rotating the locking nut 4, the locking nut 4 is controlled to rotate and move on the adjusting screw 2, and the adjusting screw 2 remains fixed during the movement of the locking nut 4. This helps to keep the first scale bar 5 on the adjusting screw 2 facing a fixed direction, which is convenient for reading. After the adjustment is completed, the support base 1 is rotated until it abuts against the locking nut 4 to complete the adjustment. This helps to avoid the need to adjust by rotating the adjusting screw 2 when the support base 1 is fixed and cannot be rotated, which would cause the orientation of the first scale bar 5 to change continuously, making it difficult to read the value. The second dial 41 is arranged in a ring on the locking nut 4, which facilitates reading the rotation angle of the locking nut 4 through the second dial 41. By placing the second dial 41 in the groove 42, it is beneficial to reduce the wear of the second dial 41.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the side wall of the locking nut 4 has multiple sets of through holes 43, which connect the outer wall of the locking nut 4 to the inner thread groove of the locking nut 4 on both sides. A fixing post can be inserted into the thread of the through hole 43, and the fixing post and the adjusting screw 2 abut against each other, which is beneficial for locking the position of the locking nut 4.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, the side wall of the support plate 3 is provided with a first force-bearing layer 31, and the side of the first force-bearing layer 31 away from the support plate 3 is provided with a grid-like groove. The first force-bearing layer 31 is used to facilitate the application of external force to the support plate 3, and the support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 2. The rotation of the support plate 3 can drive the adjusting screw 2 to rotate.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the locking nut 4 has a second force-bearing layer 44 on its side wall, and the second force-bearing layer 44 is arranged in a grid pattern on the side away from the locking nut 4. The second force-bearing layer 44 increases the friction, which helps to apply external force to the locking nut 4 and drive the locking nut 4 to rotate.
[0032] Specific application examples of this utility model:
[0033] The locking nut 4 abuts against the support base 1, limiting the length of the adjusting screw 2 extending beyond the support base 1. By placing the locking nut 4 between the support base 1 and the tray 3, and utilizing the threaded connection between the locking nut 4 and the adjusting screw 2, and the mutual abutment and matching between the locking nut 4 and the support base 1, it is beneficial to limit the rotational movement range of the support base 1 on the adjusting screw 2, and to lock the rotational adjustment of the support base 1.
[0034] By fixing the adjusting screw 2 and rotating the locking nut 4, the locking nut 4 is controlled to rotate and move on the adjusting screw 2. During the movement of the locking nut 4, the adjusting screw 2 remains fixed, ensuring that the first scale bar 5 on the adjusting screw 2 faces a fixed direction, facilitating reading. After adjustment, the support base 1 is rotated until it abuts against the locking nut 4 to complete the adjustment. This avoids the need to rotate the adjusting screw 2 when the support base 1 is fixed and cannot rotate, which would cause the first scale bar 5 to continuously change direction, making reading difficult.
[0035] The second dial 41 is arranged in a ring on the locking nut 4, which facilitates reading the rotation angle of the locking nut 4 through the second dial 41.
[0036] By placing the second dial 41 within the groove 42, it is beneficial to reduce the wear of the second dial 41.
[0037] A fixing post can be threaded into the through hole 43. The fixing post and the adjusting screw 2 abut against each other, which helps to lock the position of the locking nut 4.
[0038] The first force-bearing layer 31 facilitates the application of external force to the support plate 3, and the support plate 3 and the adjusting screw 2 are fixedly connected to each other. The rotation of the support plate 3 can drive the adjusting screw 2 to rotate.
[0039] The increased friction by using the second force-bearing layer 44 helps to apply external force to the locking nut 4, causing the locking nut 4 to rotate.
