Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cylinder installation, and in particular to a device for adjusting and measuring the concentricity of fitting cylinders. Background Technology
[0002] When assembling the fitting cylinder, concentricity is a key concern. Currently, various auxiliary tools are available. For example, adjusting the relative difference in distance between the cylinder and the central axis of several legs evenly distributed around the outer circumference of the circular base inside the cylinder can help regulate concentricity. Adjusting the inner cylinder's movable platform ensures coaxiality between the inner and outer cylinders. Furthermore, laser measurement of the fitting cylinder's concentricity can be achieved using laser rulers, laser collimators, and CCDs. Additionally, segmented feeler gauges can be used to measure and compare the differences in gaps between the cylinders to determine concentricity. However, the above tools have the following problems: 1. The auxiliary tooling is mostly specialized, and the versatility between different fitting cylinders is poor; 2. The installation space and position of laser equipment are limited, and it is easily affected by environmental factors such as smoke and dust. At the same time, it has certain requirements on the reflective characteristics of the target surface. For example, if the reflective surface is too rough or the reflectivity is low, it may affect the accuracy of the measurement, and the measurement cost is high; 3. When measuring gaps with segmented feeler gauges, the gaps are small and difficult for the operator to observe. The measurement results depend on the experience of the measuring personnel and are greatly affected by subjective factors. Moreover, the operation is inconvenient and it is difficult to complete the measurement in assemblies where it is inconvenient to insert feeler gauges. For example, when the cylinder diameter changes, the gap width changes along the axial direction (the gaps at both ends of the cylinder are narrower and the gaps in the middle are wider, and the feeler gauge cannot measure the gap width in the middle position).

[0028] See Figures 1 to 8 This is a device for adjusting and measuring the concentricity of a fitting cylinder in some embodiments of this utility model. The fitting cylinder 1 includes an inner cylinder 11 and an outer cylinder 12. The geometry of the fitting cylinder 1 is not limited, including cylinders, curved cylinders, polyhedra, etc. The concentricity adjustment and measuring device for the fitting cylinder 1 includes multiple adjustment components 2 for adjusting the concentricity of the fitting cylinder 1 and multiple gap measuring components 3 for measuring the change in gap width along the axial position of the fitting cylinder 1. The adjustment components 2 include an operating member 21, a first connecting component 22 that is drivenly connected to the first end of the operating member 21 and connected to the inner cylinder 11, and a second connecting component 23 that is drivenly connected to the second end of the operating member 21 and connected to the outer cylinder 12. The gap measuring components 3 include a pipe joint 31 and a measuring device 32. The pipe joint 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall surface of the outer cylinder 12. A through hole 311 is provided in the pipe joint 31 for the measuring end of the measuring device 32 to pass through. The measuring end of the measuring device 32 passes through the through hole 311 and is used to measure the gap width.
[0029] Understandably, since the first end of the operating component 21 is connected to the first connecting assembly 22 and the second end of the operating component 21 is connected to the second connecting assembly 23, the concentricity adjustment and measuring device for the fitting cylinder can use the operating component 21 to drive the first connecting assembly 22 and the second connecting assembly 23 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12, that is, adjusting the concentricity of the fitting cylinder 1. At the same time, the gap measuring assembly 3 is used to measure the gap width variation law along the axial position of the fitting cylinder 1, providing data support for the optimization of the machining and assembly process of the fitting cylinder 1. The concentricity adjustment and measuring device for the fitting cylinder has a small and simple structure, requires little installation space, and can be installed in a flexible position.
[0030] The components of the adjustment assembly 2 and the gap measuring assembly 3 can be made of high-strength stainless steel.
[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting assembly 22 includes a first adjusting rod 221 pulverically connected to the first end of the operating member 21, a first connecting block 222 fixedly connected to the first adjusting rod 221, a first positioning pin 223 connected to the first connecting block 222, and a first cotter pin 224 mounted on the first positioning pin 223. The first positioning pin 223 is connected to the inner cylinder 11, and the first cotter pin 224 is used for positioning between the first positioning pin 223 and the inner cylinder 11. The second connecting assembly 23 includes a second adjusting rod 231 pulverically connected to the second end of the operating member 21, a second connecting block 232 fixedly connected to the second adjusting rod 231, a second positioning pin 233 connected to the second connecting block 232, and a second cotter pin 234 mounted on the second positioning pin 233. The second positioning pin 233 is connected to the outer cylinder 12, and the second cotter pin 234 is used for positioning between the second positioning pin 233 and the outer cylinder 12. The adjusting assembly 2 also includes a first locking member 24 and a second locking member 25 separately mounted at both ends of the operating member 21. The first locking member 24 is used to fix the relative position of the first adjusting rod 221 and the operating member 21, and the second locking member 25 is used to fix the relative position of the second adjusting rod 231 and the operating member 21.
[0032] Specifically, the operating component 21 is a nut with both positive and negative threads, the first adjusting rod 221 and the second adjusting rod 231 are both screws, and the first locking component 24 and the second locking component 25 are both positioning nuts. The adjustment assembly 2 is a detachable structure. During assembly, the first adjusting rod 221 and the second adjusting rod 231 are screwed into the operating component 21, with the screwing lengths of the first adjusting rod 221 and the second adjusting rod 231 being equal. The first locating pin 223 connects the first connecting block 222 to the inner cylinder 11, and the second locating pin 233 connects the second connecting block 232 to the outer cylinder 12. The first cotter pin 224 and the second cotter pin 234 are used to install the entire adjustment assembly 2. The first locating pin 223, the second locating pin 233, the first cotter pin 224, and the second cotter pin 234 are all detachable.
[0033] Furthermore, there are four adjusting components 2, which are arranged separately along the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder 12. Specifically, after the four adjusting components 2 are installed at the bottom of the inner cylinder 11 in four directions (0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°), the operating piece 21, being a threaded nut, can be screwed on to lengthen or shorten the adjusting component 2, continuously adjusting the spatial position of the inner cylinder 11 relative to the outer cylinder 12, thus achieving concentricity adjustment of the fitted cylinders. Additionally, the operating piece 21 can be tilted relative to the horizontal plane of the inner cylinder 11, allowing for multi-angle tilting support and adjustment of the radial position of the inner cylinder 11. Once the concentricity of the inner cylinder is adjusted to the correct position, the first locking member 24 can fix the relative position of the first adjusting rod 221 and the operating member 21, and the second locking member 25 can fix the relative position of the second adjusting rod 231 and the operating member 21. Additionally, the adjusting assembly 2 can be spot-welded to fix the position between the adjusting assembly 2 and the inner cylinder 1, ensuring that the concentricity of the inner cylinder 1 does not change during hoisting, transportation, or other movements. The weld points on the adjusting assembly 2 can be ground off, the position of the inner cylinder 11 readjusted, and then spot-welded again for reuse.
[0034] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the gap measuring assembly 3 also includes a clamping head 33 and a sealing element 34. The sealing element 34 is connected to the end of the pipe joint 31 away from the outer cylinder 12. The clamping head 33 is installed between the sealing element 34 and the pipe joint 31, and the clamping head 33 covers the through hole 311. Multiple gap measuring assemblies 3 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 12. Figure 8 As shown, the gap measuring assembly 3 also includes a reference member 35, the outer wall surface of which is flush with the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 12. Preferably, the measuring instrument 32 is a vernier caliper.
[0035] Specifically, the gap measuring component 3 can be welded to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 12. A through hole 311 is provided inside the pipe joint 31. The clamping head 33 and the sealing element 34 are used for sealing the fitted cylinder 1. When measuring the gap between the inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12, the clamping head 33 and the sealing element 34 can be removed, and then the probe of the vernier caliper can be inserted into the pipe joint 31 to measure the gap width. The steps for measuring the gap width between the fitted cylinders 1 using the gap measuring component 3 are as follows:
[0036] 1. After the outer cylinder 12 of the fitting cylinder 1 is machined, the initial depth is calibrated. The probe of the vernier caliper is passed through the through hole 311 of the pipe joint 31. The outer wall surface of the reference part 35 is flush with the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 12. At this time, the probe of the vernier caliper is pressed against the outer wall surface of the reference part 35. The distance measured at this time is the distance from the end face of the pipe joint 31 to the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 12. Then the probe of the vernier caliper is pulled out. The reference part 35 can be a steel rod.
[0037] 2. Take a reading from the vernier caliper, record the initial probe length, and remove the reference piece 35.
[0038] 3. After the inner cylinder 11 is installed in place, use the probe of the vernier caliper to pass through the through hole 311 of the pipe joint 31. Since the reference piece 35 has been removed, the probe of the vernier caliper can be inserted. At this time, the probe of the vernier caliper presses against the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 11. The distance measured at this time is the distance from the end face of the pipe joint 31 to the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 11. Then, pull out the probe of the vernier caliper.
[0039] 4. Take readings from the vernier caliper and record the length of the subsequent probe;
[0040] 5. Subtract the initial probe length from the subsequent probe length to obtain the current gap width between the fitted cylinders 1.
[0041] When the gap between the cylinders is not measured, a clamping head 33 is installed at the pipe joint 31 and the sealing element 34 is locked to ensure the sealing of the fitted cylinder 1.
[0042] In summary, this concentricity adjustment and measurement device for the fitted cylinder achieves concentricity adjustment and control by adjusting the position of the inner cylinder 11 through the adjustment component 2, and quantitatively analyzes the concentricity deviation of the fitted cylinder 1 through the gap measurement component 3. The gap measurement component 3 is installed at different axial positions and angular orientations of the outer cylinder 12, and a vernier caliper probe measures the gap width between the inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12. By comparing the difference in gap width between the inner and outer cylinders at different axial positions and angular orientations of the fitted cylinder 1, the concentricity deviation of the cylinder is detected and quantitatively analyzed. When the fitted cylinder 1 has a variable diameter, it can conveniently measure the gap width along the axial position of the fitted cylinder 1, without being limited by the geometry of the fitted cylinder 1. When the fitted cylinder 1 has a variable diameter, it can conveniently measure the variation law of the gap width along the axial position of the fitted cylinder 1, providing data support for the optimization of the machining and assembly process of the fitted cylinder 1.

It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present utility model should fall within the coverage of the claims of the present utility model.
