[0002] In the field of nut manufacturing, the perpendicularity detection of the ribbed end face of a lock nut is an important quality control link. In modern manufacturing industry, the quality requirements for parts and components of precision machinery and high-end equipment are increasingly high, especially for key fasteners such as lock nuts, the perpendicularity of the ribbed end face of which will directly affect the performance and service life of the entire assembly. Therefore, efficient and accurate detection technology has become an important means to improve product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to detect the perpendicularity of the ribbed end face of a lock nut, the following methods are usually used: first, an ordinary dial gauge is used to directly contact the nut end face for measurement, but since the nut end face has 92 ribs and is not flat, the measurement result is unstable; second, a special fixture is used to fix the nut before measurement, but these fixtures are often complex in structure and tedious to operate, and cannot guarantee the consistency of the positioning reference for each measurement; third, optical measuring instruments are used, which have high accuracy but are high in cost and not suitable for large-scale popularization and application. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] In order to shorten the detection time and reduce the detection error, the application provides a perpendicularity measuring instrument for a ribbed end face of a lock nut.

[0005] The perpendicularity measuring instrument for a ribbed end face of a lock nut provided by the application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The perpendicularity measuring instrument for a ribbed end face of a lock nut comprises a base, an elastic sleeve, a rotating table and a dial gauge, the elastic sleeve is used to position a nut to be measured, the rotating table is rotationally connected with the base, the elastic sleeve is coaxially arranged with the rotating table, and the rotating table is used to support the elastic sleeve and allow the elastic sleeve to rotate synchronously with itself, the dial gauge is arranged on one side of the rotating table and connected with the base, and the pointer of the dial gauge is in contact with the ribbed end face of the nut to be measured through an abutment plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, accurate measurement of the ribbed end face of the lock nut can be realized. Specifically, the combined design of the base, the elastic sleeve, the rotating table and the dial gauge enables the nut to be measured to be fixed at the elastic sleeve, ensuring that the nut will not deviate during measurement. At the same time, the rotational connection design of the rotating table and the base enables the nut to rotate smoothly on the horizontal plane, the pointer of the dial gauge contacts the ribbed end face of the nut through the abutment plate, and the run-out value can be read in real time, which is then converted into perpendicularity data, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the measurement.

[0008] Optionally, the rotating table comprises a rotating base and an optical axis arranged coaxially, and the elastic sleeve is sleeved on the optical axis.

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, the optical axis is not only used for guiding the elastic sleeve, but also ensures the coaxiality between the rotating table and the elastic sleeve, so that the axis of the nut to be measured and the rotation center overlap in the measurement process, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement result and effectively reducing the measurement error caused by the coaxiality deviation.

[0010] Optionally, the elastic sleeve comprises a sleeve, a retaining ring and a plurality of elastic pieces, the elastic pieces are arranged at equal intervals around the sleeve axis, one end of the elastic piece is fixed to the inner diameter of the retaining ring, and an external thread is arranged on the outer wall of the elastic piece for cooperating with the nut to be measured.

[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, the sleeve provides a stable support structure as the main part of the elastic sleeve. The plurality of elastic pieces are arranged at equal intervals around the sleeve axis, which not only increases the contact area with the nut to be measured, but also matches the internal thread of the nut to be measured through the external thread design on the outer wall of the elastic piece, thereby further enhancing the connection between the two, effectively preventing the nut from loosening or falling off during the measurement process, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the measurement.

[0014] Optionally, a fine threaded shaft is coaxially connected to the side of the optical axis away from the rotating base, and a reverse tapered expansion plug is threadedly connected to the fine threaded shaft, and the expansion plug is used to cooperate with the elastic piece.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, the elastic sleeve can be accurately expanded. When the rotating base is fixed, the reverse tapered expansion plug on the fine threaded shaft can be gradually rotated and advanced by thread connection, thereby pressing the elastic piece to expand outward, ensuring that the nut to be measured is firmly fixed in the elastic sleeve. This design not only improves the stability of the nut during the measurement process, but also enhances the accuracy of the measurement result.

[0016] Optionally, a coarse threaded shaft is arranged between the optical axis and the rotating base, and a locking ring is sleeved on the coarse threaded shaft.

[0017] By adopting the above technical scheme, the inner wall of the locking ring is matched with the outer thread of the coarse thread shaft, so that when the locking ring is rotated, it moves along the axial direction on the coarse thread shaft, and by rotating the locking ring, the elastic sleeve is pushed to approach the expansion plug when the locking ring moves along the coarse thread shaft, so that effective expansion effect is achieved.

[0018] Optionally, one side of the base is provided with a guide rail, a sliding block is slidably connected to the guide rail, a guide rod is arranged on the sliding block in the vertical direction, a cross bar is slidably connected to the guide rod, and a locking buckle is arranged between the guide rod and the cross bar.

[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, the position of the dial gauge is flexibly adjusted, so that the measurement is more accurate. Meanwhile, the design of the locking buckle effectively prevents accidental movement of the cross bar during measurement, thereby improving the measurement stability.

[0020] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. The gage uses the elastic sleeve to connect with the nut to be measured, and realizes the fixation of the product through the expansion thread, so as to ensure the accuracy of the positioning reference, thereby improving the reliability and consistency of the measurement.

The dial gauge 4 is arranged on one side of the rotating table 3 and connected with the base 1, and a pointer thereof is in contact with the ribbed end face of the lock nut to be measured through an abutting plate 401. The abutting plate 401 is designed in a flat head form to adapt to the ribbed end face.

[0031] Specifically, the base 1, as the basis of the whole measuring instrument, can be made of metal material and has high strength and rigidity. The rotating table 3 can be rotationally connected with the base 1 through a bearing to ensure smooth operation of the rotating table 3.

[0032] Through this combined design, the lock nut to be measured can be fixed at the elastic sleeve 2, so that the lock nut cannot deviate during the measurement. The rotating connection design of the rotating table 3 and the base 1 allows the lock nut to rotate smoothly on the horizontal plane. The pointer of the dial gauge 4 is in contact with the ribbed end face of the lock nut through the abutting plate 401, so that the run-out value can be read in real time, and then converted into perpendicularity data, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the measurement.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in order to adjust the dial gauge 4, one side of the base 1 can be provided with a guide rail 8, the guide rail 8 is slidably connected with a sliding block 9, the sliding block 9 is provided with a guide rod 10 arranged in the vertical direction, the guide rod 10 is slidably connected with a cross bar 11, the guide rod 10 and the cross bar 11 are provided with a locking buckle 12, and the dial gauge 4 is arranged at one end of the cross bar 11 away from the guide rod 10. The position of the dial gauge 4 is adjusted flexibly, the measurement is more accurate, the locking buckle 12 is designed to effectively prevent accidental movement of the cross bar 11 during measurement, and the measurement stability is improved.

[0039] Specifically, the cooperation of the guide rail 8 and the sliding block 9 can adopt the form of an I-shaped groove and an I-shaped sliding block or the form of a T-shaped groove and a T-shaped sliding block, etc., to ensure smooth sliding without obstruction. The guide rod 10 can be made of high-strength stainless steel material and has good bending resistance.
