[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear, the following will combine the drawings, and make the further detailed description to the embodiment disclosed by the utility model.

[0027] The embodiment of the application discloses a roundness correction measurement auxiliary tool, as shown in the left and right views of Figure 1 The structure comprises a target paste block 1, a sleeve 2, a connecting rod 3 and a fixing base 4.

[0028] As shown in 5a, 5b and 5c of Figure 5 , wherein the fixing base 4 is taken as the basis, one side of the fixing base 4 is provided with a cylindrical pin 41, the diameter of the cylindrical pin is greater than the diameter of the radial hole of the end part of the engine shell, and the diameter of the cylindrical pin is 0.1-0.2mm smaller than the diameter of the radial hole, and the hardness of the cylindrical pin is smaller than the hardness of the engine shell, so that after the cylindrical pin is inserted into the radial hole, the relative position of the cylindrical pin and the engine shell is stable.

[0029] As shown in 4a and 4b of Figure 4 , one end of the connecting rod 3 is threadedly connected with the fixing base 4, and the other end is threadedly connected with the sleeve 2. The axis of the connecting rod 3 is perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical pin.

[0030] As shown in 3a and 3b of Figure 3 , the sleeve 2 is provided with a coaxial through hole and a threaded hole, the through hole is located at one end of the threaded hole, the inner diameter of the through hole is smaller than the inner diameter of the threaded hole, and the end part of the connecting rod 3 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole of the sleeve 2. The sleeve 2 is provided with a chamfer at the end of the threaded hole away from the through hole, facilitating the insertion of the connecting rod 3.

[0031] As Figure 2 The target pasting block 1 includes a main body structure 11 and a cylindrical rod 12, the main body structure is a rectangular metal block, the cylindrical rod is a metal cylindrical rod, the back of the rectangular metal block is connected with the cylindrical rod, the end of the cylindrical rod away from the main body structure is provided with a snap ring, the outer diameter of the snap ring is greater than the diameter of the metal cylindrical rod, the outer diameter of the cylindrical rod matches with the through hole of the sleeve 2, the outer diameter of the snap ring is greater than the inner diameter of the through hole, and the snap ring is located in the threaded hole of the sleeve 2. The installation sequence is that firstly, one end of the cylindrical rod is inserted into the threaded hole of the sleeve 2 and passes out of the through hole until the snap ring is located in the threaded hole, and then the end of the cylindrical rod passing out of the through hole is welded and fixed between the main body structure. The main body structure is used for pasting target points, the target points are used for being recognized by the binocular vision measuring instrument, so that the binocular vision measuring instrument can determine the accurate position of the radial hole connected with the auxiliary tool according to the position of the target points, and then real-time monitoring of the end face of the engine shell in the roundness correction process is realized.

The cylindrical pin on the fixing seat 4 can be inserted into the radial hole of the butt joint end face of the engine shell, so that the butt joint end face of the engine shell is bound with the target points.

[0034] When the target pasting block 1 is rotated, if the connection between the target pasting block 1 and the sleeve 2 is relatively loose, the relative rotation may occur, the target pasting block 1 can be directly controlled to stop rotating at a target angle, then the connecting rod 3 is rotated, so that the connecting rod 3 gradually penetrates into the sleeve 2, and the snap ring of the target pasting block 1 is pressed tightly, and at this time the target pasting block 1 is fixed.

[0035] The utility model adopts the method of indirect measurement and flexible connection, solves the real-time measurement of the butt joint end face roundness of the engine shell and the large range collection problem of the target points, and the specific universality.
