Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing devices, and in particular to a tooling for measuring the inner diameter of steel pipes with a floating testing base. Background Technology

[0002] In the steel pipe manufacturing and processing industry, accurate measurement of the inner diameter of steel pipes is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and the smooth progress of subsequent processing. Traditional steel pipe inner diameter measuring devices typically consist of a fixed measuring base and a movable measuring mechanism. The measuring mechanism moves inside the steel pipe and contacts the inner wall to measure its diameter.

[0003] In existing steel pipe inner diameter measuring devices, the detection seat is often designed as a fixed structure, while the detection mechanism moves inside the steel pipe manually or mechanically to perform the measurement. While this design can meet basic measurement needs to some extent, it has the following main problems: First, insufficient concentricity. Due to limitations in the connection method and positioning accuracy between the detection seat and the detection mechanism, it is difficult to achieve high-precision concentric alignment during the measurement process. Deviations in concentricity directly increase the error in the measurement results, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the measurement data. Second, poor adaptability. Traditional measuring devices typically require different detection heads or adjustments to the device structure for steel pipes of different diameters. This not only increases operational complexity but also limits measurement efficiency and the breadth of the measurement range.

[0004] In summary, existing steel pipe inner diameter measuring devices have significant shortcomings in terms of concentricity, adaptability, and measurement stability, making it difficult to meet the requirements for high-precision and high-efficiency steel pipe inner diameter measurement. Therefore, developing a new type of steel pipe inner diameter measuring fixture that can effectively solve the above problems and improve measurement accuracy and efficiency is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model provides a steel pipe inner diameter measuring fixture with a floating detection base, which improves the concentricity between the detection base and the detection mechanism, thereby achieving accurate measurement of the steel pipe inner diameter. The device includes a workbench, a measuring part, and a support base. The measuring part is located on the top side of the workbench and is used to measure the inner diameter of the steel pipe. The support base is located at the other end of the measuring part and is used to assist in supporting the steel pipe being measured.

[0006] Furthermore, the measuring unit includes a measuring bracket, a dial indicator, and a three-jaw chuck. The measuring bracket is an inverted "L" shape, vertically mounted on the top of the worktable. The three-jaw chuck is vertically mounted on the side of the measuring bracket. The dial indicator is mounted on the upper part of the measuring bracket, and its lower measuring part is connected to one of the jaws of the three-jaw chuck. The three-jaw chuck expands from the inside out, and the inner diameter of the steel pipe is measured by reading the displacement distance of the jaws using the dial indicator.

[0007] Furthermore, the support base includes a support base, a floating joint, and a V-shaped block. The floating joint is disposed above the support base and can float up and down to adjust the concentricity between the steel pipe being tested and the three-jaw chuck. The V-shaped block is disposed above the floating joint to support the steel pipe being tested.

[0008] Preferably, a screw is provided at the lower part of the floating joint, and the screw is used to adjust the height of the floating joint up and down.

[0009] Furthermore, the support base also includes a dovetail groove guide rail, which is fixed to the upper end of the workbench. The support base is engaged inside the dovetail groove guide rail and can move back and forth along the dovetail groove guide rail to support steel pipes of different lengths being tested.

[0010] Preferably, the outer diameter of the jaw head end of the three-jaw chuck is larger than the outer diameter of the jaw head extension, which can avoid the port of the workpiece being measured and prevent burrs or flash from affecting the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0011] Preferably, the device further includes a foot switch for controlling the opening and closing of the three-jaw chuck, facilitating measurement.

[0012] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By introducing a floating joint design into the support base, the concentricity between the steel pipe being measured and the three-jaw chuck is greatly improved. The floating joint can float up and down, automatically adjusting its position to eliminate concentricity deviations caused by installation errors or the straightness of the steel pipe itself, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results. The height of the floating joint can be finely adjusted via a screw, allowing the measuring fixture to adapt to the measurement needs of steel pipes of different diameters without the need for frequent replacement of measuring heads or adjustment of the device structure, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of measurement. The dovetail guide rail design allows the support base to move back and forth, further expanding the applicability of the measuring fixture and enabling it to support and measure steel pipes of different lengths.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical gripper mainly includes a worktable 1, a measuring unit 2, and a support base 3.

[0019] The workbench 1 serves as the foundation of the entire measuring fixture. The workbench 1 is a planar structure used to support and fix the measuring part 2 and the support base 3.

[0020] The measuring unit 2 includes a measuring bracket 21, a dial indicator 22, and a three-jaw chuck 23. The measuring bracket 21, shaped like an inverted "L," is vertically mounted on the side of the top of the worktable 1, serving as the main support structure during the measurement process. The dial indicator 22 is mounted on the upper part of the measuring bracket 21, with its lower measuring section engaging with one jaw of the three-jaw chuck 23 for accurately reading the jaw's displacement distance. The three-jaw chuck 23 is vertically positioned on the side of the measuring bracket 21, and its three jaws expand or contract synchronously to contact and measure the inner wall of the steel pipe. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the jaw head end of the three-jaw chuck 23 is larger than the outer diameter of the jaw head extension, designed to avoid burrs and flash at the workpiece port, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0021] The support base 3 includes a support base 31, a floating joint 32, a V-block 33, and a dovetail guide rail 34. The support base 31 is located at the other end of the measuring section 2 and is connected to the worktable 1 via the dovetail guide rail 34. It can move back and forth along the guide rail to accommodate steel pipes of different lengths. The floating joint 32 is installed above the support base 31 and has a floating function. A screw 321 is located at its lower part; rotating the screw 321 allows for fine adjustment of the height of the floating joint 32, ensuring high concentricity between the steel pipe being measured and the three-jaw chuck 23. The V-block 33 is located above the floating joint 32 and is used to stably support the steel pipe being measured. Its V-shaped design helps accommodate steel pipes of different diameters and limits their lateral movement. The dovetail guide rail 34 is fixed to the upper end of the worktable 1 and cooperates with the support base 31, allowing the support base 3 to move smoothly along the guide rail.

[0022] This embodiment also includes a foot switch 4, which is convenient for operators to step on and is used to control the opening and closing of the three-jaw chuck 23, making the measurement process more convenient and efficient.

[0023] Specific usage steps:

[0024] In this embodiment, firstly, based on the length of the steel pipe being measured, the support base 31 is adjusted to a suitable position using the dovetail guide rail 34 to ensure the steel pipe is stably supported on the V-block 33. Then, the screw 321 at the bottom of the floating joint 32 is rotated to adjust the height of the floating joint 32, ensuring optimal concentricity between the steel pipe being measured and the three-jaw chuck 23. Next, the foot switch 4 is pressed to retract the three-jaw chuck 23, inserting one end of the steel pipe into it. Then, the jaws of the three-jaw chuck 23 are slowly expanded outwards until they contact the inner wall of the steel pipe. At this point, the dial indicator 22 accurately records the displacement distance of the jaws, thus achieving precise measurement of the inner diameter of the steel pipe. After measurement, the foot switch 4 is pressed again to retract the three-jaw chuck 23, removing the steel pipe and completing the entire measurement process. Through the above specific embodiments, this invention effectively solves the problems existing in the steel pipe inner diameter measuring device in the prior art, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the measurement.
