[0027] As shown in Figure 4 The outer side of the lifting inner support rotating mechanism 5 is uniformly provided with three support block frames 601, the bottom of each support block frame 601 is fixedly connected to the precision measurement platform 1, and a rim surface support block 6 which can slide along the support block frame 601 is slidably arranged on the support block frame 601.

[0028] The precision measurement platform 1 is fixedly provided with two sets of circular runout measuring devices 8 which are symmetrically arranged along the lifting inner support rotating mechanism 5.

[0029] As shown in Figure 5 The thickness measuring device 9 comprises a thickness measuring frame 901 which is fixed to the precision measurement platform 1 and is provided with two thickness measuring heads 902 arranged on two layers in a vertical direction, specifically, a radial slide 903 is fixedly arranged on the thickness measuring frame 901, a radial slide block 904 which can slide along the radial slide 903 is arranged on the radial slide 903, an axial slide 906 is fixedly arranged on the radial slide block 904, and the thickness measuring head 902 which can slide along the axial slide 906 is arranged on the axial slide 906.

[0030] One gauge laser 11 is arranged on each of the upper and lower ends of the sliding frame 402.

[0031] In order to facilitate detection of accuracy, the precision measurement platform 1 is provided with an outer diameter measuring calibration gauge block 2, a thickness measuring calibration gauge block 7 and a laser calibration block 12, which are used to correct the accuracy of the outer diameter measuring device 3, the thickness measuring device 9 and the gauge laser 11 respectively.

[0032] The working principle is as follows:

[0033] As shown in Figures 1-6 The method comprises the following steps:

[0034] S10, at the beginning of initial measurement, all measuring devices are in calibration position. The inner diameter measuring device 4 is in the highest position, and the four sets of outer diameter measuring devices 3 are in the original position. According to the size of the measured wheel, the supporting block 6 is slid on the supporting block frame 601 to make adaptive adjustment of the position, and is ready to receive the measured wheel.

[0035] S20, after the measured wheel enters the measuring device and the mechanical hand places the wheel rim of the measured wheel on the rim surface supporting block 6, the mechanical hand is withdrawn. Then, the telescopic part of the lifting inner support rotating mechanism 5 is extended, so that the supporting disc 502 lifts the measured wheel, and the measured wheel is separated from the rim surface supporting block 6.

[0036] S30, static measurement starts:

[0037] S31, the four sets of outer diameter measuring devices 3 are in contact with the outer circle of the measured wheel under the drive of the small motor. The measuring head is a small plate in tangential contact with the outer circle of the measured wheel. The outer diameter measuring devices are in pair correspondence, and the four sets of outer diameter measuring devices 3 measure the diameters D1 at two positions.

[0038] S32, the inner diameter measuring device 4 moves towards the axis of the measured wheel by relying on the sliding of the sliding frame 402 on the measuring track 401. When the center of the inner diameter measuring calibration gauge 10 coincides with the axis of the measured wheel, the inner diameter measuring head 405 moves downward by relying on the pushing of the linear motion driving part 404, and the inner diameter D5 is measured. In this measurement, the measuring device can rotate and move up and down (that is, rely on the upward and downward movement of the linear motion driving part 404) to measure the inner diameters D5 at different sections. After the measurement is completed, the inner diameter measuring device 4 returns to the initial position.

[0039] S33, the thickness measuring head 902 of the thickness measuring device 9 moves along the radial direction of the measured wheel to approach the measured wheel. Through the four measuring heads at the upper and lower ends, the measuring device can move along the radial direction (the sliding of the radial slider 904 on the radial slide 903) and the axial direction (the sliding of the thickness measuring head 902 on the axial slide 906) to measure the thickness S5 / S4 / S3 at different sections during the measurement. After the measurement is completed, it returns to the initial position.

[0040] S34, the upper and lower end gauge lasers 11 measure the thickness dimensions of the measured wheel S1, S2 along with the radial movement of the sliding frame 402. After the measurement is completed, it returns to the initial position.

[0041] S40, dynamic measurement starts:

[0042] S41, the two sets of circle runout measuring devices 8 move along the radial direction to contact the outer circle of the measured wheel. The measured wheel rotates to complete the circle runout data collection. After the measurement is completed, the measuring device returns to the initial position.

[0043] S42, the up-down gauge laser 11 can also measure the thickness of the measured wheels S1, S2 dynamically.

[0044] S50, the dynamic and static measurement is finished, the lifting inner support rotating mechanism 5 is lowered, the measured wheel falls back to the wheel rim surface supporting block 6, and the manipulator takes away the measured wheel to complete one measurement.

[0045] In addition, after the measurement work is finished, calibration can be performed: when the cross-shaped outer diameter calibration gauge block 2 is turned to be concentric with the clamping position of the measured wheel, it is placed on the lifting inner support rotating mechanism 5 for positioning, the outer diameter measuring device moves to contact the gauge block for calibration, after calibration, the gauge block and the measuring device return to the initial position. The micrometer on the inner diameter measuring device 4 moves up and down into the inner diameter calibration gauge 10 for calibration. The thickness calibration gauge block 7 is fixed, the thickness measuring device 9 rotates, and the four measuring heads move linearly to contact the gauge block for calibration.

[0046] After calibration, the measuring devices return to the initial position for measurement of the next measured wheel.

[0047] The features of the present application are:

[0048] S1, online automatic measurement, with dynamic and static measurement capability, the device can not only perform contact measurement, but also be suitable for non-contact measurement.

[0049] S2, it has universality, and the important size automatic measurement and calibration of the wheel are realized on one device, and the device is suitable for wheels of various sizes.

[0050] S3, full-automatic rapid type change adjustment can be realized (except for the replacement of the positioning block and the inner diameter micrometer).

[0051] Other contents refer to the prior art.

[0052] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the overall concept of the present application, a number of changes and improvements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection range of the present application.
