Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of stud assembly in mechanical equipment installation, and particularly relates to a stud elongation value measuring tool, which is suitable for large studs with hollow holes and elongation value requirements, and particularly suitable for studs installed in blind holes. BACKGROUND

[0002] Studs as fasteners play an important role in the manufacturing, installation and operation of various mechanical equipment. Applying a certain pre-tightening force to the stud can not only prevent gaps between the connected parts or relative slipping after being subjected to load, but also increase the reliability and tightness of the connection. The pre-tightening force of the stud fastener requires higher and higher precision, and the elongation value of the stud is usually used as a standard for checking the pre-tightening force of the high-precision stud. It is very important to accurately measure the elongation value of the stud. In the conventional pre-tightening process of large studs, the elongation value is measured by setting up dial gauges at both ends of the stud and calculating the elongation value of the stud by subtracting the readings of the two displacement dial gauges. However, for large studs installed in blind holes, one end of the stud is located in the blind hole, so the displacement of the stud cannot be monitored by using a dial gauge, and therefore the elongation value of the stud installed in the blind hole cannot be measured.

[0008] The technical scheme provided by the present application can have the following beneficial effects:

[0009] The present application can ensure that the length measuring rod will not follow and deviate during the stretching process by adjusting the adjustable positioning ring, so as to affect the accuracy of the measurement.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1 , the stud elongation value measuring tool comprises a dial gauge 1, a gauge seat 2, a fastening screw 3, and a length measuring rod 4. The length measuring rod 4 is installed inside a hollow hole of a stud 5 to be measured, and the lower end of the length measuring rod 4 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the hollow hole of the stud 5 to be measured. The gauge seat 2 is threadedly connected to the top of the stud 5 to be measured. The dial gauge 1 is installed on the gauge seat 2 through the fastening screw 3, and the contact of the dial gauge 1 penetrates through the gauge seat 2 and contacts the top surface of the length measuring rod 4.

[0024] In operation, the device is installed at the end of the stud 5 to be measured with a hollow hole. The length measuring rod 4 with a proper length is selected according to the length of the stud 5 to be measured with a hollow hole, and is installed in the hollow hole of the stud 5 to be measured with a hollow hole. The gauge seat 2 is installed in the screw hole at the end of the stud 5 to be measured with a hollow hole. The dial gauge 1 is installed in the gauge seat 2, and the contact of the dial gauge 1 is in contact with the end of the length measuring rod 4, so that the range of the dial gauge 1 meets the measurement requirements. After the adjustment is completed, the fastening screw 3 is tightened to fix the dial gauge 1, and the pointer of the dial gauge 1 is adjusted to zero. During the stretching measurement of the stud 5 to be measured with a hollow hole, the gauge seat 2 installed at the end of the stud 5 to be measured with a hollow hole moves with the stretching end of the stud, and the change of the dial gauge 1 is reflected, so that the dynamic tracking of the elongation value of the stud can be realized. The final elongation value of the stud can be read through the display of the dial gauge 1 after the stud stretching tool is unloaded.

[0025] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the gauge seat 2 is provided with an axial through hole for installing the dial gauge 1 and a radial threaded hole for connecting the fastening screw 3.

The upper and lower ends of the middle section 403 are respectively provided with an inner thread and an outer thread connection port. The lower part of the last section 402 is connected with an inner thread. The lower end of the first section 404 is threadedly connected with the bottom end of the hollow hole of the bolt 5 to be measured.

[0028] During operation, according to the length of the bolt 5 to be measured, the first section 404, the middle section 403 and the last section 402 with different lengths can be combined, or the middle section 403 with multiple sections can be combined with the first section 404 and the last section 402.

[0029] In some embodiments, the last section 402 of the length measuring rod is provided with an adjustable positioning ring 401.

[0030] During operation, the adjustable positioning ring 401 ensures that the length measuring rod 4 is located in the hollow hole of the bolt 5 to be measured with a certain gap and is not easy to shake, and is not affected by the stretching of the bolt 5 to be measured.
