The embodiments will be described below according to the overall structure of the present disclosure.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present disclosure provides a universal comparative measuring instrument. The comparative measuring instrument is used as a reference, has a first end 1 direction and a second end 2 direction, and the universal comparative measuring instrument comprises:

[0028] A measuring rod 3 and a digital display meter 4 installed at one end of the measuring rod 3, the measuring rod 3 is a hollow shell, the shell surface of the measuring rod 3 comprises a switching hole 31;

[0029] A measuring device, the measuring device comprises a spline shaft 51 installed in the measuring rod 3 and coaxially arranged with the measuring rod 3, an outer diameter limiting block 541 fixed in the inside of the measuring rod 3 and a locking piece 52 sleeved on the spline shaft 51, the spline shaft 51 can move axially in the measuring rod 3, the digital display meter 4 abuts against the first end 1 of the spline shaft 51, the locking piece 52 is located at the second end 2 of the spline shaft 51, the locking piece 52 is provided with an inner diameter spring 53 and an outer diameter spring 54 sleeved on the outside of the spline shaft 51, the inner diameter spring 53 and the outer diameter spring 54 are towards the first end 1, the other end of the inner diameter spring 53 is further provided with an inner diameter limiting block 531 sleeved on the spline shaft 51, the locking piece 52 is provided with an adjusting screw 521 capable of fixing the locking piece 52 on the spline shaft 51, the adjusting screw 521 can be inserted into the switching hole 31;

[0030] A movable measuring claw 61, the movable measuring claw 61 is fixed with the spline shaft 51, the shell of the measuring rod 3 is provided with a limiting hole 32 for the movement of the movable measuring claw 61, the movable measuring claw 61 moves along the length direction of the measuring rod 3;

[0031] A fixed measuring claw 62, the fixed measuring claw 62 can move along the length direction of the measuring rod 3 and control the tightness of the fixed measuring claw 62 on the measuring rod 3 through an inner hexagonal screw 621;

[0032] A measuring head 9, the measuring head 9 is detachably installed on the movable measuring claw 61 and the fixed measuring claw 62.

[0033] Through the above structure, the universal comparative measuring instrument can measure the inner diameter or the outer diameter, the switching of the inner diameter measurement mode and the outer diameter measurement mode is mainly through the cooperation of the adjusting screw 521 on the locking piece 52 and the switching hole 31 on the measuring rod 3. When measuring the standard workpiece, the value is set through the digital display meter 4, then the workpiece to be measured is measured, and the actual measured value of the digital display meter 4 is obtained through the distance changed by the spline shaft 51.

[0034] Preferably, the structure of the locking piece 52 can comprise a large boss 522 and a small boss 523, the diameter of the inner diameter spring 53 is smaller than the diameter of the outer diameter spring 54, therefore, one end of the outer diameter spring 54 is connected to the large boss 522, and one end of the inner diameter spring 53 is connected to the small boss 523.

[0035] In the measurement of the outer diameter, the comparative measuring instrument is in a stationary state, the locking member 52 is fixed at the second end 2 of the spline shaft 51, the movable measuring jaw 61 is located at the end part of the movable range towards the second end 2, at this time the outer diameter spring 54 connected with the locking member 52 is in abutment with the outer diameter limiting block 541 fixed in the measuring rod 3. The movable measuring jaw 61 is fixedly connected with the spline shaft 51, when the movable measuring jaw 61 moves towards the first end 1, the spline shaft 51 as a whole also moves towards the first end 1. Due to the blockage of the outer diameter limiting block 541, the locking member 52 and the outer diameter limiting block 541 jointly cause the extrusion of the outer diameter spring 54, when the movable measuring jaw 61 is released, the force of the extrusion of the outer diameter spring 54 disappears, the outer diameter spring 54 restores the deformation, thus the locking member 52 moves towards the second end 2, therefore the spline shaft 51 as a whole and the movable measuring jaw 61 move towards the second end 2. In the measurement, after the position of the fixed measuring jaw 62 is determined by the inner hexagonal screw 621, the movable measuring jaw 61 is pulled towards the first end 1, when the movable measuring jaw 61 is released, the movable measuring jaw 61 moves towards the second end 2 under the action of the outer diameter spring 54, the movable measuring jaw 61 and the fixed measuring jaw 62 form a state of clamping in the middle, thus the measurement of the outer diameter of the workpiece is completed.

[0036] In the measurement of the inner diameter, the movable measuring jaw 61 originally located at the second end 2 of the limiting hole 32 is moved towards the first end 1 until the adjusting screw 521 on the locking member 52 is aligned with the switching hole 31 on the outer shell of the measuring rod 3, the adjusting screw 521 is rotated so that it can extend into the switching hole 31, and under the action of the adjusting screw 521, the switching hole 31 also forms a limit for the locking member 52, while the locking member 52 is loosened on the spline shaft 51, and the spline shaft 51 can move along the length direction of the measuring rod 3. In the static state, the movable measuring jaw 61 is located at the first end 1 of its movable range, i.e. the first end 1 of the limiting hole 32, and since the position of the locking member 52 on the spline shaft 51 has changed, the inner diameter spring 53 located between the inner diameter limiting block 531 and the locking member 52 at this time can be in a static state or a compressed state. Because the locking member 52 is loose with the spline shaft 51 at this time, even if the outer diameter spring 54 is in a compressed state, it will not affect the spline shaft 51. When the movable measuring jaw 61 moves towards the second end 2, the locking member 52 is limited by the switching hole 31 and cannot move, the inner diameter limiting block 531 is fixed on the spline shaft 51, the spline shaft 51 as a whole moves towards the second end 2, and the inner diameter limiting block 531 and the locking member 52 jointly act on the inner diameter spring 53 to cause extrusion, when the movable measuring jaw 61 is released, the position of the locking member 52 is fixed, so that the inner diameter spring 53 recovers the deformation to drive the spline shaft 51 to move towards the first end 1. During measurement, after the position of the fixed measuring jaw 62 is determined by the inner hexagonal screw 621, the movable measuring jaw 61 is pulled towards the second end 2, and when the movable measuring jaw 61 is released, it moves towards the first end 1 under the action of the inner diameter spring 53, the movable measuring jaw 61 and the fixed measuring jaw 62 form a state of being stretched to both sides, and the measurement of the inner diameter of the workpiece is completed.

[0037] Preferably, two fixed splines 8 are further provided on the spline shaft 51, the fixed splines 8 are installed inside the measuring rod 3 and located on both sides of the movable measuring jaw 61, and the spline shaft 51 can move along the length direction of the measuring rod 3 through the fixed splines 8. The fixed splines 8 can limit the movable range of the movable measuring jaw 61 and also guide the movement of the spline shaft 51. In order to prevent the fixed splines 8 from being unstable, an outer diameter limiting block 541 is further sleeved and fixed on the outside of the fixed splines 8 away from the first end 1 to fill the internal space of the measuring rod 3.

[0038] In the embodiment, the back of the movable measuring claw 61 and the fixed measuring claw 62 is provided with an alignment support point 7, which can ensure that the movable measuring claw 61 and the fixed measuring claw 62 always maintain good alignment and consistency during use. If the movable measuring claw 61 and the fixed measuring claw 62 are misaligned, it may cause errors in the measurement data or even fail to complete the measurement. By setting several alignment support points 7, the stability during measurement can be effectively improved, and measurement deviation caused by improper operation or surface characteristics of the measurement object can be avoided.

[0039] In the embodiment, the measuring head 9 can be replaced according to actual needs, and the measuring head 9 at least includes a disc type measuring head, a conical type measuring head, and a shoulder type measuring head. The disc type measuring head is suitable for plane measurement and can provide a larger contact area, effectively reducing the error caused by point contact, especially when measuring large planes or irregular surfaces, it has higher stability and accuracy. The conical type measuring head is suitable for measuring small holes, grooves or other narrow parts that are difficult to reach, and can enter areas that cannot be covered by traditional plane measuring heads, providing more comprehensive measurement capabilities. The special geometry of the shoulder type measuring head makes it suitable for measuring workpieces with steps, edges or shoulder features, and can accurately capture the size parameters of these complex geometric shapes. The universal comparison measuring instrument described in the utility model significantly enhances the multifunctionality of the measuring head 9 by combining multiple measuring head forms, and can meet diverse measurement needs. Whether in precise measurement of complex workpieces or in irregularly shaped special measurement environments, this design can effectively adapt. At the same time, the user can quickly replace the measuring head according to specific measurement needs, greatly improving work efficiency and the flexibility of the measuring tool.

[0040] So far, the technical scheme of the utility model has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without deviating from the principles of the utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to related technical features, and the technical scheme after these changes or replacements will fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
