The center line of the rotating rod 13 coincides with the center line of the support ring 10. The purpose of this design is that the third servo motor 16 drives the second gear 15 to rotate, and through meshing with the first gear 14, drives the rotating rod 13 to rotate. The rotating rod 13 is located at the center of the support ring 10 for easy subsequent testing.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0030] The rotating rod 13 has a groove 17 inside, and the slider 20 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the groove 17.

Then, the first servo motor 5 drives the first lead screw 3 to rotate, driving the rectangular frame 6 to rise and fall vertically. The second servo motor 8 drives the second lead screw 7 to rotate, driving the connecting plate 9 to move horizontally in a reciprocating linear motion. By adjusting the support ring 10 horizontally to the left and right and vertically to the right and down, and coordinating with the four first laser rangefinders 11, the system can achieve the desired effect. The optical rangefinder 11 detects and adjusts the position of the support ring 10 so that the axis of the cast pipe coincides with the center line of the support ring 10. At this time, the rotating rod 13 is located on the axis of the cast pipe. Then, the third servo motor 16 drives the rotating rod 13 to rotate, which drives the second laser rangefinder 21 to rotate and detect the inner wall of the cast pipe. At the same time, the fourth servo motor drive 19 drives the third lead screw 18 to rotate, which drives the second laser rangefinder 21 to move linearly along the axis of the cast pipe through the slider 20, and rotates and detects different positions on the inner wall of the cast pipe. Finally, the roundness of the cast pipe is analyzed based on the acquired data. The purpose of this design is to quickly detect the roundness of larger cast pipes, which is simple to operate, highly efficient, and saves labor.
