[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the shuttle-type object thickness measuring device of this utility model includes: shuttle support rod 1, power module 2, shuttle support track 3, shuttle machine 4, control module 5, laser rangefinder 6, RFID reader 7, and RFID tag 9 set on the object to be measured 8.
[0029] The RFID reader 7, laser rangefinder 6, and control module 5 are all arranged on the shuttle 4 to form an integrated device, so that the thickness of the object can be measured synchronously with the movement of the shuttle 4 when the device is working.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the basic component of the shuttle support system, the shuttle support, includes two shuttle support rods 1 and a shuttle support track 3. The shuttle support rods 1 are vertically arranged, and the shuttle support track 3 is horizontally arranged. The shuttle support rods 1 provide stable support for the device, and the shuttle support track 3 is installed between the rods to provide the movement path for the shuttle 4, ensuring free movement of the device and thus providing good flexibility and accuracy for thickness measurement operations.
[0031] The shuttle 4 carries multiple modules, including a control module 5, a laser rangefinder 6, and an RFID reader 7, and can also be equipped with functional modules such as a display module.
[0032] A laser rangefinder 6 is installed on the top left of the shuttle 4 to measure the position and distance of the object 8 to be measured; an RFID reader 7 is installed in the middle of the top of the shuttle 4. An adjustable mounting base is provided below the RFID reader 7, which can flexibly adjust the angle of the reader to adapt to RFID tags 9 in different positions, improve the accuracy and efficiency of reading, and realize multi-functional detection of the object 8 to be measured.
[0033] The control module 5 is the core processing unit of the system, located on the top right side of the shuttle 4. It is responsible for processing all data acquired from the laser rangefinder 6 and the RFID reader 7, completing the thickness measurement, and outputting the measurement results in real time. It should be noted that the thickness can be obtained simply by calculating the data collected by the laser rangefinder 6 and the RFID reader 7, and the algorithms and software used for these calculations are existing technologies and are not the subject of protection of this utility model.
[0034] The RFID tag 9 is affixed to the back of the object to be tested 8, and the object is automatically identified and tracked through the principle of electromagnetic induction.
[0035] The power module 2 is fixedly mounted on the shuttle support rod 1 at one end, and the power module 2 is electrically connected to the shuttle 4, the laser rangefinder 6 and the RFID reader 7 respectively.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the shuttle support track 3 are equipped with locking mechanisms 301 and connecting blocks 302. The connecting blocks 302 are fitted onto the shuttle support rod 1, and the tightness between the connecting blocks 302 and the shuttle support rod 1 is adjusted by the locking mechanisms 301.
[0037] The shuttle support rod 1 has an I-shaped cross section. The connecting block 302 has a central opening that matches the I-shape. Multiple fixed bosses arranged at intervals for adjusting the height are provided on one side of the shuttle support rod 1. When the locking mechanism 301 is tightened, it is embedded between two adjacent fixed bosses for fixing.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the locking mechanism 301 employs a side knob for fixing the position of the horizontal rail. The knob is designed to be manually tightened, allowing for quick fixing or loosening of the guide rail and facilitating position adjustment. This locking mechanism 301 is designed with user convenience in mind and may be suitable for adjusting the guide rail position to adapt to different application scenarios.
[0039] Connecting blocks 302 are welded to both ends of the horizontal track and feature I-shaped openings that match the vertical support rods, providing a stable connection between the vertical support rods and the horizontal track. The design of connecting blocks 302 facilitates disassembly and reassembly, ensuring good maintainability of the structure.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the shuttle 4 includes a two-layer platform structure: a lower sliding platform 401 and an upper support platform 402; the lower sliding platform 401 and the upper support platform 402 are connected by multiple support columns 403 set at the edge.
[0041] A sliding groove is provided in the middle of the lower sliding platform 401, through which the shuttle 4 is slidably connected to the shuttle support track 3. A laser rangefinder 6 and an RFID reader 7 are installed on the upper support platform 402. Screw holes are provided on the edges of both the lower sliding platform 401 and the upper support platform 402, and buffer pads are provided at the screw holes. The support column 403 passes through the screw holes and buffer pads to connect the lower sliding platform 401 and the upper support platform 402, which can effectively absorb vibration and at the same time, the gap between the platform and the slider reduces the resonance frequency of the platform and reduces vibration transmission.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a shuttle-type thickness measuring device is used to measure the thickness of an object. The process is as follows:
[0043] 1. The sensor's external parameters need to be calibrated beforehand. Using the shuttle track as the calibration reference, the coordinate relationship between the RFID reader and the track is calibrated, as is the relationship between the laser rangefinder and the track. It is understood that this utility model is used to measure the thickness of an object and does not require determining the absolute positional relationship between the object and the measurement system; therefore, the object's thickness can be obtained simply by calibrating the external parameters.
[0044] 2. An RFID tag needs to be placed on the back of the object. It is also necessary to ensure that the reader, the tag, and the point to be measured are in a straight line.
[0045] 3. The shuttle moves, carrying both an RFID reader and a laser rangefinder. The laser rangefinder measures the distance to the object's surface, while the RFID reader measures the distance to a tag attached to the back of the object.
[0046] 4. The control module acquires the two measured distances and, in conjunction with the acquired external parameter calibration data, performs thickness measurement. It should be noted that the calculation algorithms and software related to the distance and calibration data are existing technologies and are not the subject of this utility model's protection.
[0047] 5. The shuttle runs back and forth along the shuttle track multiple times, which can obtain multiple measurement data. The thickness data can be optimized by using multiple measurement data.
[0048] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
