[0024] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined or described in one figure, it will not need to be discussed or described in detail in the description of the subsequent figures.

[0025] In order to solve the technical problems in the background art, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides a technical solution: an irregularly shaped screw gauge, characterized as follows:

[0026] The base 1 is designed with an axisymmetric structure to ensure stability and symmetry. The base 1 can be made of high-strength metal or engineering plastic to ensure durability and rigidity during use. An elongated groove 2 is provided along the axial direction of the base 1. This groove 2 guides and fixes the irregularly shaped screw to be inspected, allowing it to be placed stably in the fixture. A spherical groove 3 is precisely positioned along the axis of the base 1. Its shape and size are designed to fit the nut end of the irregularly shaped screw to be inspected, ensuring accurate capture of the nut end during inspection. A cavity 4 is located within the base 1, and its sidewalls have a through hole 5 and an internally threaded hole 6. The through hole 5 is designed as a square hole to accommodate the sliding of the pin 10. A first spring 7 is provided within the cavity 4. This first spring 7 provides elasticity to the protrusion 8, ensuring that the protrusion 8 can make tight contact with the concave surface of the irregularly shaped screw. The protrusion 8 is located within the cavity 4 and contacts the first spring 7. The side wall of the protrusion 8 has a through hole 9, which corresponds to the through hole 5. A pin 10 is inserted into the through hole 5 and can slide within it to adjust the position of the protrusion 8. An adjusting screw 17 is threadedly connected to an internal threaded hole 6, with one end abutting against the protrusion 8. By rotating the adjusting screw 17, the protrusion 8 can be fixed to the cavity 4, thereby adjusting the pressure of the protrusion 8 on the concave surface of the irregularly shaped screw. A V-block 11 is mounted on the base 1 and is coaxial with the base 1, used to place the irregularly shaped screw to be tested. The design of the V-block 11 ensures the stability and positioning accuracy of the screw during the testing process.

[0027] It should be noted that the bottom surface of the V-block 11 is aligned with the bottom surface of the elongated groove 2, ensuring that they are on the same plane. The V-block 11 is mounted on the base 1 and is coaxial with the base 1, used to place the irregularly shaped screw to be inspected. The bottom surface of the V-block 11 is on the same plane as the bottom surface of the groove 2. This design allows the V-block 11 to make stable contact with the base 1, while ensuring the stability and positioning accuracy of the screw during the inspection process.

[0028] It should be noted that the positioning block 12 is located at one end of the base 1 and is coaxially arranged with the V-block 11. The function of the positioning block 12 is to provide positioning for one end of the irregularly shaped screw to be inspected, ensuring the centering and stability of the screw during the inspection process. The positioning block 12 can be designed to be adjustable to accommodate screws of different lengths, or it can be designed to be fixed to meet the inspection requirements of screws of specific lengths.

[0029] It should be noted that an auxiliary block 15 is connected to the side wall of the base 1, and a chamber 16 is provided on the top of the auxiliary block 15. The chamber 16 is used to accommodate the bottom of the T-block 13. The bottom of the T-block 13 is hinged to the inner wall of the chamber 16. This design allows the T-block 13 to move within a certain range. One end of the T-block 13 is located above the V-block 11, which is used to apply additional positioning or pressure to the irregular screw during the detection process. The second spring 14 is located on the top of the auxiliary block 15, and one end is in contact with the bottom of the horizontal end of the T-block 13. The function of the second spring 14 is to provide elastic force to the T-block 13 to ensure that the T-block 13 and the irregular screw maintain appropriate contact force.

[0030] It should be noted that since the V-block 11 and the base 1 are integrally molded, the assembly process of the inspection fixture is simplified. Simply place the base 1 on the workbench and ensure that it is level and stable.

[0031] It should be noted that the angle between the end of the T-block 13 that contacts the second spring 14 and its vertical end is an obtuse angle. This design makes the T-block 13 more stable when pressure is applied, and provides a larger contact area and a more uniform force distribution.

[0032] It is worth noting that the auxiliary block 15 is an integral part of the side wall of the base 1, designed with a sloping top surface. This design helps guide and position the movement of the T-block 13. The auxiliary block 15 is positioned such that one end of the second spring 14 is lower than the end that is hinged to the T-block 13. The cavity 16 at the top of the auxiliary block 15 is used to accommodate the bottom of the T-block 13, and the bottom of the T-block 13 is hinged to the inner wall of the cavity 16, allowing the T-block 13 to move within a certain angular range.

[0033] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
