[0039] As Figures 1-2As shown, the torsion box measuring system comprises a rack 1 and a workbench 11 arranged on the rack 1, and the workbench 11 is provided with a positioning assembly 2, a pressing assembly 3 and a sliding mechanism 4 for measuring the shell deformation of the workpiece 100, the sliding mechanism 4 is slidingly arranged on the workbench 11, and the sliding mechanism 4 is provided with a plurality of detection sites for cooperating with the surface to be measured of the workpiece 100, and a displacement sensor 400 is arranged on each detection site, the displacement sensor 400 is electrically connected with a controller and a display screen 121, the controller receives the signal of the displacement sensor 400 and sends the shell deformation to the display screen 121. Specifically, in the embodiment, the display screen 121 is arranged above the side of the workbench 11 through a support 12, and an electric control box 13 is further arranged below the workbench 11, and the controller is arranged in the electric control box 13.

[0040] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The sliding mechanism 4 comprises a sliding rail 41 and a connecting plate 42 slidingly arranged on the sliding rail 41, and specifically, the sliding rail 41 is two groups, the sliding rail 41 is provided with a sliding block, and the connecting plate 42 is a square structure and is fixed on the sliding block through bolts. A plurality of mounting seats 43 are arranged on the connecting plate 42, and the displacement sensor 400 is arranged on the mounting seat 43, and the arrangement positions of the plurality of mounting seats 43 correspond to the surface to be measured of the workpiece 100.

[0041] The side of the sliding mechanism 4 close to the positioning assembly 2 is provided with a detection limiting block 44, and the side away from the positioning assembly 2 is provided with an anti-dropping limiting block 45, and the connecting plate 42 is slidingly located between the detection limiting block 44 and the anti-dropping limiting block 45. As shown in the figure, Figure 4 In the embodiment, the detection limiting block 44 is an L-shaped structure, the horizontal end of which is fixed on the workbench 11 through bolts, and the vertical end is used for limiting the connecting plate 42; the anti-dropping limiting block 45 is a T-shaped structure, the horizontal end of the T-shaped structure is fixed on the workbench 11 through bolts, and the vertical end is used for limiting the connecting plate 42. When measuring is needed, the connecting plate 42 is directly pushed to the detection limiting block 44, and rapid positioning can be realized; when the workpiece 100 needs to be installed or removed, the connecting plate 42 is moved to the side of the anti-dropping limiting block 45, and the disassembly is given space, so as to avoid the interference of the connecting plate 42 to the disassembly of the workpiece 100.

[0042] The connecting plate 42 is provided with a sliding positioning pin 46, and the workbench 11 is provided with a pin hole (not shown in the figure) for inserting the sliding positioning pin 46. When the connecting plate 42 abuts against the detection limiting block 44, the sliding positioning pin 46 is used to be inserted into the pin hole.

More preferably, in order to facilitate distinction, the mounting supports 43 can be numbered. Each number corresponds to a displacement sensor 400.

[0044] The positioning assembly 2 is arranged at least in two groups and located at the sliding mechanism 4 and the fixed measurement mechanism 5. The positioning assembly 2 includes a spring positioning pin 21 and a positioning plate 22. The spring positioning pin 21 is used to cooperate with the mounting hole on the workpiece 100.

Specifically, in the embodiment, the positioning plate 22 can be a plastic positioning plate 22, which can protect the workpiece 100 to a certain extent and avoid problems such as friction and scratching of the surface of the workpiece 100.

[0045] The pressing assembly 3 comprises a support seat 31 and a pressing cylinder 32. The support seat 31 is provided with a gas tightness detection hole 311 connected with a gas tightness detection assembly (not shown in the figure). When the workpiece 100 is placed on the support seat 31, the surface of the workpiece 100 is used to block the gas tightness detection hole 311 on the support seat 31. Specifically, the gas tightness detection assembly can adopt the existing vacuum detection method, and the vacuum pump is used to extract the air in the gas tightness detection hole 311 to judge the gas tightness. In other embodiments other than the present embodiment, other methods for detecting gas tightness can also be used. By providing the gas tightness detection hole 311, when the workpiece 100 is placed in place, the gas tightness detection hole 311 is sealed. If it is not placed accurately, the sealing performance is poor, so that it can be used for further detection of whether the placement position of the workpiece 100 is accurate, which is beneficial to ensure the accuracy of subsequent measurement and reduce the error caused by inaccurate position placement.

[0046] The pressing cylinder 32 is arranged on the workbench 11 through a cylinder seat 321. Specifically, the cylinder seat 321 is fixed vertically on the workbench 11 through bolts.

In the present embodiment, three groups of pressing cylinders 32 are arranged on one side of the sliding mechanism 4, one side of the fixed measurement mechanism 5, and between the sliding mechanism 4 and the fixed measurement mechanism 5. The pressing cylinder 32 is used to fix and press the workpiece 100 with correct placement position, so as to avoid displacement of the workpiece 100 during measurement.

[0047] After the torsion box shell is pressure die formed, the torsion box measurement system of the present application is used to measure the relatively weak or easily deformed profile surface in the shell. In use, the positioning assembly 2 is used to position the workpiece 100 first, and then the pressing assembly 3 is used to fix the workpiece 100. When the workpiece 100 is placed in place, the displacement sensor 400 on the fixed measurement mechanism 5 can directly measure the to-be-measured position and feed back the measurement result to the display screen 121.

[0048] Then, the sliding mechanism 4 is pushed to move to the detection limit block 44, and the sliding positioning pin 46 is used to fix the connecting plate 42. At this time, the displacement sensor 400 arranged on the detection position contacts the surface of the workpiece 100 and deforms by different degrees according to the profile surface. The displacement amount of the displacement sensor 400 is the offset deformation value of the profile surface of the workpiece 100. The controller sends the received signal to the display screen 121 for intuitive viewing by the operator.

[0049] If the offset value displayed on the display screen 121 is too large, it does not meet the requirements. At this time, the operator performs on-line profile correction on the workpiece 100 according to the offset value on the display screen 121 until the offset value meets the requirements, so as to complete the measurement and profile correction of the torsion box. After completion, the shell is sent to subsequent machining treatment.

[0050] Embodiment two

[0051] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that a code scanning gun (not shown in the figure) is further included, the code scanning gun is electrically connected with the controller, and the code scanning gun is used for scanning information on a product identification area on the workpiece 100; in use, the information of the workpiece 100 is input through the code scanning gun before detection, so that repeated detection is avoided.

[0052] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and the utility model is not limited to the field involved in this embodiment, and common knowledge such as specific structures and properties in the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the implementation effect and the practicability of the patent.
