Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vernier caliper technology, and in particular to a novel vernier caliper that can be scribed. Background Technology
[0002] A vernier caliper is a measuring instrument used to measure length, inner and outer diameters, and depth. It consists of two parts: a main scale and a sliding vernier scale attached to the main scale. The main scale is generally measured in millimeters, while the vernier scale has 10, 20, or 50 divisions. Depending on the number of divisions, vernier calipers can be classified as 10-division vernier calipers, 20-division vernier calipers, 50-division vernier calipers, etc.
[0003] A vernier caliper has two sets of movable measuring jaws on its main scale and vernier scale: an inner measuring jaw and an outer measuring jaw. The inner measuring jaw is usually used to measure the inner diameter, while the outer measuring jaw is usually used to measure the length and outer diameter. Chinese utility model patent, authorized announcement number "CN209431985U", discloses a vernier caliper including a fixed main scale and a vernier slide scale sleeved on and slidably connected to the fixed main scale. The head of the fixed main scale and the vernier slide scale are respectively provided with inner measuring jaws at one end of the head of the fixed main scale. The inner measuring jaws on the fixed main scale and the vernier slide scale are arranged opposite each other, and the surface of the opposing inner measuring jaws is the measuring surface. The inner measuring jaw includes a fixed seat detachably connected to the fixed main scale or the vernier slide scale. A slide rod is provided on the side of the fixed seat away from the fixed main scale. The axis of the slide rod is perpendicular to the axis of the fixed main scale. A detection jaw is provided on the slide rod that slides along the length direction of the slide rod.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical solution has the effect of adjustable length of internal measuring jaws, which can measure the inner diameter of deeper parts of the tube. However, the above-mentioned technical solution still has certain defects. In practice, vernier calipers are often used not only for measurement, but also for scribing. Although vernier calipers have a certain degree of accuracy, direct use for scribing may not meet the high precision requirements, especially for machining or measurement applications that require very high precision. The measuring jaws of vernier calipers are relatively sharp, and direct use for scribing may increase the risk of damaging the calipers or the surface of the workpiece, reducing the accuracy and service life of the vernier calipers. Therefore, this utility model proposes a new solution. Utility Model Content

The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.
[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0034] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel vernier caliper with scribing capability, including a main scale 1 and a scribing assembly. The scribing assembly is disposed on the main scale 1 and includes an outer measuring jaw 4, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main scale 1. A scribing block 11 is disposed at the lower end of the outer measuring jaw 4, and a limiting block 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the scribing block 11. A first sliding groove 9 is formed on the surface of the outer measuring jaw 4, and second sliding grooves 13 are formed on the left and right sides of the limiting block 10, respectively. A limiting plate 12 is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting block 10, and the limiting plate 12 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 13. The bottom of the scribing block 11 is sharp, the limiting block 10 is a combination of a cylinder and a quadrangular prism, and the limiting plate 12 is U-shaped.
[0035] A vernier scale 2 is slidably fitted onto the surface of the main scale 1. An LCD screen 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of the vernier scale 2. There are two scribing components, which are symmetrically arranged at the lower ends of the main scale 1 and the vernier scale 2. The inner sides of the two scribing blocks 11 and the corresponding outer measuring jaws 4 are flush.
[0036] The upper end of the main scale 1 is fixedly connected with an inner measuring jaw 5, and the upper end of the vernier scale 2 is also fixedly connected with an inner measuring jaw 5. Both inner measuring jaws 5 are sharp, and the internal thread of the vernier scale 2 is connected with a fastening nut 6.
[0037] The main scale 1 has a main grid 7 fixedly installed on its surface, and the vernier scale 2 has a secondary grid 8 fixedly installed on the side near the main grid 7. The main scale 1 has graduations on its surface.
[0038] The front of LCD screen 3 has a large screen, and inside LCD screen 3 are installed a voltage comparator and a processor. Multiple buttons are also located on the front of LCD screen 3.
[0039] The voltage comparator model is: TLC354;
[0040] The processor model is: CPU89C52;
[0041] The capacitive grating sensor model is ZCS1100.
[0042] When using this device, the workpiece is measured by the inner side of the two outer measuring jaws 4. The vernier scale 2 and LCD screen 3 slide on the surface of the main scale 1. The LCD screen 3 is activated, and the two outer measuring jaws 4 are brought into contact to zero the LCD screen 3. Then, the distance between the two outer measuring jaws 4 is adjusted to be greater than the measured size. The fastening nut 6 is pushed to make the outer measuring jaws 4 fit tightly against the measuring surface. The fastening nut 6 is rotated to make the fastening nut 6 contact the main scale 1, which facilitates the fixing between the main scale 1 and the vernier scale 2 and the fixing of the position of the vernier scale 2. Then, the data on the LCD screen 3 is read.
[0043] Adjust the distance between the two inner measuring jaws 5 on the main scale 1 to be smaller than the size to be measured, push the vernier scale 2 so that the inner measuring jaws extend into the object to be measured and are in close contact with the measuring surface, rotate the fastening nut 6 so that the fastening nut 6 contacts the main scale 1, so as to fix the main scale 1 and the vernier scale 2, and fix the position of the vernier scale 2. Then read the data on the LCD screen 3.
[0044] The main grid 7 and the secondary grid 8 together form a capacitive grating displacement sensor. Utilizing the capacitive grating effect, the mechanical displacement of the vernier scale 2 is converted into the phase change of an electrical signal, which is then sent to the measurement circuit for data processing. The capacitive grating sensor is controlled by the external measuring jaw 4 of the precision voltage comparator TLC35. The CPU89C52 provides the required excitation signal and receives its sensing signal. The phase difference between the excitation signal and the sensing signal is measured by the phase detection circuit. After a series of changes, the length of movement can be obtained and the data is displayed on the LCD screen 3.
[0045] Since the main scale 1 will be used for auxiliary scribing during use, first prepare the limiting block 10 and scribing block 11. Pass the limiting block 10 through the first groove 9 on the surface of the outer measuring jaw 4, and insert the limiting plate 12 into the second groove 13 on the surface of the limiting block 10 to fix the limiting block 10 and scribing block 11. This facilitates fixing the limiting block 10 and scribing block 11 to the lower end of the outer measuring jaw 4, ensuring that the limiting block 10 and scribing block 11 are stably installed at the lower end of the outer measuring jaw 4. Move the vernier scale 2 to move the outer measuring jaw 4 and scribing block... 11. When the caliper approaches the predetermined size, observe the reading on the LCD screen 3. When the predetermined size is reached, rotate the fastening nut 6 above the vernier scale 2 to fix the vernier scale 2 and the main scale 1. When scribing is required, press the vernier caliper with appropriate force to ensure that the scribing blocks 11 on both sides are in contact with the workpiece and that the scribing blocks 11 on both sides are aligned with the workpiece to be scribed. Slide the main scale 1 evenly along the direction perpendicular to the main scale 1 so that the scribing blocks 11 scribing along the workpiece. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining a smooth slide and avoid jumping and shaking to ensure accurate scribing.
[0046] Repeat the above steps to use the vernier caliper for accurate line marking.
[0047] By using the scribing block 11, the scribing operation is avoided by using the external measuring jaw 4, thus preventing wear on the external measuring jaw 4 and extending the service life of the vernier caliper. Since the lower end of the scribing block 11 will wear when scribing, the limiting plate 12 limits the limiting block 10, and the first sliding groove 9 limits the limiting block 10, which facilitates the fixation of the limiting block 10 and the scribing block 11. Through the sliding connection between the first sliding groove 9 and the limiting block 10, the limiting plate 12 and the limiting block 10 are slidably connected, which facilitates the replacement of the limiting block 10 and the scribing block 11 after they have worn to a certain extent.
[0048] The easy disassembly and replacement of the scribing block 11 makes the maintenance of the vernier caliper more convenient. The limit block 10 and scribing block 11 can be replaced without complicated operations. When the scribing block 11 is worn or damaged, it can be replaced in time, thereby extending the overall service life of the vernier caliper. Replacing with a new scribing block can ensure the accuracy of measurement and scribing, and avoid errors caused by wear of the scribing block 11. According to different measurement and scribing needs, scribing blocks 11 of different materials can be replaced to improve the applicability of the vernier caliper.
[0049] Furthermore, by fixing multiple LED backlights to the back of the vernier caliper 2, and using a high-definition LCD screen 3, the screen is larger and has a wider viewing angle compared to similar products. The addition of backlighting facilitates outdoor use at night, enhancing the practicality and convenience of the vernier caliper.
[0050] Furthermore, by setting a limiting block 10 and a scribing block 11 at the lower end of the outer measuring jaw 4, and using a limiting plate 12 to fix the limiting block 10, it is easy to disassemble and replace the scribing block 11. This makes the maintenance of the vernier caliper more convenient, and the replacement of the limiting block 10 and the scribing block 11 can be completed without complicated operations. When the scribing block 11 is worn or damaged, it can be replaced in time, thereby extending the overall service life of the vernier caliper. Replacing with a new scribing block can ensure the accuracy of measurement and scribing, and avoid errors caused by wear of the scribing block 11. According to different measurement and scribing requirements, scribing blocks 11 of different materials can be replaced, improving the applicability of the vernier caliper.
[0051] Working principle: When using this device, the workpiece is measured by the inner sides of the two outer measuring jaws 4. The vernier scale 2 and LCD screen 3 slide on the surface of the main scale 1. The LCD screen 3 is activated, and the two outer measuring jaws 4 are brought into contact to zero the LCD screen 3. Then, the distance between the two outer measuring jaws 4 is adjusted to be greater than the measured dimension. The fastening nut 6 is pushed to make the outer measuring jaws 4 fit tightly against the measuring surface. The fastening nut 6 is rotated to make the fastening nut 6 contact the main scale 1, which facilitates the fixing between the main scale 1 and the vernier scale 2 and the fixing of the position of the vernier scale 2. Then, the data on the LCD screen 3 is read.
[0052] Adjust the distance between the two inner measuring jaws 5 on the main scale 1 to be smaller than the size to be measured, push the vernier scale 2 so that the inner measuring jaws extend into the object to be measured and are in close contact with the measuring surface, rotate the fastening nut 6 so that the fastening nut 6 contacts the main scale 1, so as to fix the main scale 1 and the vernier scale 2, and fix the position of the vernier scale 2. Then read the data on the LCD screen 3.
[0053] The main grid 7 and the secondary grid 8 together form a capacitive grating displacement sensor. Utilizing the capacitive grating effect, the mechanical displacement of the vernier scale 2 is converted into the phase change of an electrical signal, which is then sent to the measurement circuit for data processing. The capacitive grating sensor is controlled by the external measuring jaw 4 of the precision voltage comparator TLC35. The CPU89C52 provides the required excitation signal and receives its sensing signal. The phase difference between the excitation signal and the sensing signal is measured by the phase detection circuit. After a series of changes, the length of movement can be obtained and the data is displayed on the LCD screen 3.
[0054] Since the main scale 1 will be used for auxiliary scribing during use, first prepare the limiting block 10 and scribing block 11. Pass the limiting block 10 through the first groove 9 on the surface of the outer measuring jaw 4, and insert the limiting plate 12 into the second groove 13 on the surface of the limiting block 10 to fix the limiting block 10 and scribing block 11. This facilitates fixing the limiting block 10 and scribing block 11 to the lower end of the outer measuring jaw 4, ensuring that the limiting block 10 and scribing block 11 are stably installed at the lower end of the outer measuring jaw 4. Move the vernier scale 2 to move the outer measuring jaw 4 and scribing block... 11. When the caliper approaches the predetermined size, observe the reading on the LCD screen 3. When the predetermined size is reached, rotate the fastening nut 6 above the vernier scale 2 to fix the vernier scale 2 and the main scale 1. When scribing is required, press the vernier caliper with appropriate force to ensure that the scribing blocks 11 on both sides are in contact with the workpiece and that the scribing blocks 11 on both sides are aligned with the workpiece to be scribed. Slide the main scale 1 evenly along the direction perpendicular to the main scale 1 so that the scribing blocks 11 scribing along the workpiece. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining a smooth slide and avoid jumping and shaking to ensure accurate scribing.
[0055] Repeat the above steps to use the vernier caliper for accurate line marking.
[0056] By using the scribing block 11, the scribing operation is avoided by using the external measuring jaw 4, thus preventing wear on the external measuring jaw 4 and extending the service life of the vernier caliper. Since the lower end of the scribing block 11 will wear when scribing, the limiting plate 12 limits the limiting block 10, and the first sliding groove 9 limits the limiting block 10, which facilitates the fixation of the limiting block 10 and the scribing block 11. Through the sliding connection between the first sliding groove 9 and the limiting block 10, the limiting plate 12 and the limiting block 10 are slidably connected, which facilitates the replacement of the limiting block 10 and the scribing block 11 after they have worn to a certain extent.
[0057] The easy disassembly and replacement of the scribing block 11 makes the maintenance of the vernier caliper more convenient. The limit block 10 and scribing block 11 can be replaced without complicated operations. When the scribing block 11 is worn or damaged, it can be replaced in time, thereby extending the overall service life of the vernier caliper. Replacing with a new scribing block can ensure the accuracy of measurement and scribing, and avoid errors caused by wear of the scribing block 11. According to different measurement and scribing needs, scribing blocks 11 of different materials can be replaced to improve the applicability of the vernier caliper.
[0058] Furthermore, by fixing multiple LED backlights to the back of the vernier caliper 2, and using a high-definition LCD screen 3, the screen is larger and has a wider viewing angle compared to similar products. The addition of backlighting facilitates outdoor use at night, enhancing the practicality and convenience of the vernier caliper.
[0059] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
