Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts inspection technology, and in particular to a size inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-filled plugs for continuous casting are key refractory material components used in the continuous casting process to blow gas into molten steel in containers such as ladles and tundishes. These plugs have a slender, frustum-shaped structure with specific height and outer diameter dimensions. Dimensional inspection of the gas-filled plugs is crucial, so finished plugs must be inspected before use. In existing technologies, gas-filled plugs are typically placed on a product placement table, which is equipped with outer diameter and height detection components. While this method accurately measures the height and outer diameter, the weight of the plugs and the need for individual sensor inspection on-site make the inspection process complex, reduce visualization, and decrease efficiency.

[0039] This embodiment provides a size detection device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the size detection device includes a detection component 2 and a display component 3. The detection component 2 includes a fixing member 21, a first detection member 22, and a second detection member 23. Both the first detection member 22 and the second detection member 23 are connected to the fixing member 21. The first detection member 22 and the second detection member 23 are spaced apart, and the first detection member 22 is movable relative to the fixing member 21. The first detection member 22 is used to detect the height and upper dimension of the object to be detected, and the second detection member 23 is used to detect the lower dimension of the object to be detected. The display component 3 is connected to the detection component 2 and can display the height of the object to be detected.

[0040] When inspecting the part to be inspected, the first inspection component 22 can simultaneously inspect the height and upper part dimensions of the part to be inspected, and the second inspection component 23 can inspect the lower part dimensions of the part to be inspected. The display component 3 can display the height of the part to be inspected. When measuring the height of the part to be inspected, the display component 3 serves as an intuitive window for presenting the inspection results, providing timely and accurate inspection results. There is no need to perform tedious data calculations and analysis when inspecting the part to be inspected. Moreover, the dimension inspection device can simultaneously inspect the height and upper and lower parts dimensions of the part to be inspected, making the dimension inspection device simple in structure, highly integrated, improving the level of inspection visualization, and improving inspection efficiency.

[0041] Optionally, in this embodiment, the component to be tested is a frustum-shaped vent plug for continuous casting. In other embodiments, the component to be tested can also be a frustum, etc., and there is no limitation here. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the component to be tested is placed upright, that is, the end with the smallest diameter of the component to be tested is located above the end with the largest diameter of the component to be tested, that is, the end with the smallest diameter of the component to be tested is the upper part of the component to be tested, and the end with the largest diameter of the component to be tested is the lower part of the component to be tested. In other embodiments, the component to be tested can also be placed upside down or flat, and there is no limitation here.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first detection element 22 and the second detection element 23 are arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction, with the first detection element 22 located above the second detection element 23. This arrangement facilitates the detection of vertically placed test pieces.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first detection element 22 detects the outer diameter of the end of the component to be tested with the smallest diameter, and the second detection element 23 detects the outer diameter of the end of the component to be tested with the largest diameter. In other embodiments, the first detection element 22 may also detect the outer circumferential dimension of the end of the component to be tested with the smallest diameter, and the second detection element 23 may also detect the outer circumferential dimension of the end of the component to be tested with the largest diameter; this is not a limitation.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, one of the fixing member 21 and the first detection member 22 has a slot (not shown in the figure), and the other has a protrusion (not shown in the figure). The protrusion and the slot are movably connected. By setting the movably connected slot and protrusion, the first detection member 22 can move relative to the fixing member 21, providing the basic dynamic conditions for the simultaneous detection of the height and top and bottom dimensions of the member to be detected. It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing member 21 extends in a vertical direction. In other embodiments, the fixing member 21 may also extend in a horizontal direction, which is not limited here.

[0045] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fixing member 21 is provided with a locking protrusion, and the first detection member 22 is provided with a locking groove, with the locking protrusion and the locking groove being movably connected. This facilitates the detection of the height of the member to be tested. In other embodiments, the fixing member 21 may be provided with a locking groove, and the first detection member 22 may be provided with a locking protrusion, with the locking protrusion and the locking groove being movably connected. Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking groove and the locking protrusion are slidably connected in the vertical direction. This facilitates the detection of the height of the member to be tested in the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the locking groove and the locking protrusion may also be tumbled together, which is not limited here.

[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing member 21 and the first detection member 22 constitute a height gauge. Since the height gauge is prior art, it will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display component 3 includes a display element 31 and an indicator (not shown in the figure); wherein, the display element 31 is fixedly mounted on the fixing member 21, and the display element 31 and the indicator can move relative to each other. The indicator is connected to the first detection element 22 and / or the second detection element 23. When the height of the part to be tested is detected, the indicator can move on the display element 31 to display the height of the part to be tested. When the indicator moves within the range specified by the display element 31, the height of the part to be tested is qualified. The setting of the display element 31 and the indicator improves the visualization of the size detection device. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the display element 31 is a color plate and the indicator is a pointer. In other embodiments, the display element 31 can also be a colored label, etc., and there is no limitation here.

[0048] Optionally, in this embodiment, the display element 31 extends along the extending direction of the fixing element 21, and the display element 31 is divided into different regions, each region having a corresponding model of the component to be tested. This facilitates the testing of components of different models and improves the applicability of the size detection device.

[0049] Optionally, in this embodiment, the indicator is fixedly connected to the first detection element 22. In other embodiments, the indicator may also be connected to the second detection element 23 or simultaneously to both the first detection element 22 and the second detection element 23; no limitation is imposed here.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the first inspection piece 22 has a first inspection groove 221. A first inspection edge 2212 is provided on each of the first groove edges 2211 on both sides of the first inspection groove 221. The length of the first inspection edge 2212 is less than the length of the first groove edge 2211, and the distance between the two first inspection edges 2212 is greater than the distance between the two first groove edges 2211, allowing the inspection piece to enter the first inspection groove 221. When inspecting the upper outer diameter of the inspection piece, the inspection piece is brought close to the first inspection piece 22. If the inspection piece cannot enter the first inspection groove 221, or if it can enter the first inspection groove 221 but is positioned between the two first groove edges 2211, then the inspection piece is unqualified. If the inspection piece can enter the first inspection groove 221 but only between the two first inspection edges 2212 and is stuck between the two first groove edges 2211, then the inspection piece is qualified. This design makes the inspection results of the inspection piece more obvious, highly visualized, and structurally simple and easy to implement. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first detection element 22 is a modified structure of the go / no-go gauge.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the two first detection edges 2212 is the upper limit of the outer diameter of the upper part of the part to be tested, and the distance between the two first groove edges 2211 is the lower limit of the outer diameter of the upper part of the part to be tested.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first detection groove 221 has a U-shaped structure, and the first detection edge 2212 is close to the opening of the first detection groove 221. In other embodiments, the structure of the first detection groove 221 can also be U-shaped, which is not limited here.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second detection piece 23 has a second detection groove 231. A second detection edge 2312 is provided on each of the second groove edges 2311 on both sides of the second detection groove 231. The length of the second detection edge 2312 is less than the length of the second groove edge 2311, and the distance between the two second detection edges 2312 is greater than the distance between the two second groove edges 2311, so that the piece to be detected can enter the second detection groove 231.

[0054] When inspecting the lower outer diameter of the part to be inspected, the part is brought close to the second inspection element 23. If the part cannot enter the second inspection groove 231, or if it can enter the second inspection groove 231 but is between the two second groove edges 2311, the part is unqualified. If the part can enter the second inspection groove 231 but only between the two second inspection edges 2312 and is stuck between the two second groove edges 2311, the part is qualified. This makes the inspection results of the part to be inspected more obvious and highly visible, and the structure is simple and easy to implement. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second inspection element 23 is a modified structure of a go / no-go gauge.

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the two second detection edges 2312 is the upper limit of the lower outer diameter of the part to be tested, and the distance between the two second groove edges 2311 is the lower limit of the lower outer diameter of the part to be tested.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the second detection groove 231 is U-shaped, and the second detection edge 2312 is close to the opening of the second detection groove 231. In other embodiments, the structure of the second detection groove 231 can also be U-shaped, which is not limited here.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the dimension detection device also includes a support assembly 1, and a detection assembly 2 is mounted on the support assembly 1. The support assembly 1 can support the detection assembly 2. The above arrangement provides a stable support foundation for the detection assembly 2, while making the structure of the dimension detection device compact.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly 1 includes a support body 11 and a support member 12; wherein, the support member 12 is movably connected to the support body 11, and the part to be tested can be placed on the support member 12. When testing is required, the part to be tested is placed smoothly on the support member 12, and then the part to be tested moves on the support body 11 along with the support member 12. The setting of the support member 12 allows the support member 12 to flexibly adjust its position and angle within a certain range, thereby providing more suitable support conditions for subsequent testing of the part to be tested, while reducing labor intensity. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the support member 12 is rotatably connected to the support body 11. This allows the part to be tested to rotate 360° on the support member 12, thereby enabling a more comprehensive measurement of the height and outer diameter of the part to be tested. In other embodiments, the support member 12 may also be rotatably connected to the support body 11, which is not limited here. Specifically, the support member 12 in this embodiment is a ball bearing.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support body 11 has a locking hole 13, and the support member 12 is movably connected within the locking hole 13. This allows the support member 12 to be flexibly adjusted within the locking hole 13, thereby allowing the test piece on the support member 12 to be flexibly adjusted, significantly improving the reliability of the support assembly 1.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the support body 11 has multiple slots 13, and each slot 13 is rotatably connected to a support member 12. The component to be tested is placed on the multiple support members 12 rotatably connected in the slots 13, making the rotation of the component to be tested smoother.

[0061] Furthermore, the dimensional inspection device also includes a conveying assembly 5, which is movably connected to the support assembly 1 and configured to convey the part to be inspected. This arrangement allows the part to be inspected to be more easily conveyed to the support assembly 1 via the conveying assembly 5. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the conveying assembly 5 is a roller conveyor. In other embodiments, the conveying assembly 5 may also be a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor; no limitation is made here.

[0062] Optionally, in this embodiment, the item to be tested is placed upright on the conveying assembly 5. In other embodiments, the item to be tested may also be placed upside down on the conveying assembly 5, and there is no limitation on this.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the size detection device also includes a reinforcing component 4. One end of the reinforcing component 4 is connected to the fixing member 21, and the other end of the reinforcing component 4 is connected to the first detection member 22. The reinforcing component 4 enhances the connection stability between the fixing member 21 and the first detection member 22, thereby improving the reliability of the detection component 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the reinforcing component 4 is slidably connected to the latching protrusion of the fixing member 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first detection member 22.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment, the reinforcing component 4 is a reinforcing plate. In other embodiments, the reinforcing component 4 may also be a reinforcing rod, which is not limited here.

[0065] The detection principle of this size detection device is described below:

[0066] First, the part to be tested is placed on the conveying assembly 5, which conveys it to the support 12. The height of the first testing piece 22 on the fixing piece 21 is determined according to the model of the part to be tested. Then, the part to be tested is brought close to the first testing piece 22 and the second testing piece 23. If the upper outer diameter of the part to be tested is located in the first testing groove 221 and only between the two first testing edges 2212, and the lower outer diameter of the part to be tested is located in the second testing groove 231 and only between the two second testing edges 2312, and the indicator is within the range of the display piece 31, then the part to be tested is qualified. Then, the part to be tested is rotated 360°. If, during the rotation, the upper outer diameter, the lower outer diameter, and the indicator are all in the above-mentioned state, then the part to be tested is qualified; otherwise, the part to be tested is unqualified.

[0067] If either the upper or lower outer diameter of the part to be inspected exceeds its upper limit or is less than its lower limit, then the part to be inspected is unqualified.

[0068] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
