[0016] (2) The motor in the power assembly drives the pressing column of the pressing assembly to move up and down through the transmission of gears and threaded columns, realizing the automated pressing process. This not only improves the measurement efficiency, but also reduces the uncertainty and error caused by manual operation.

[0017] (3) The moving rod in the measuring component is slidably set in the slide rail, which ensures the stability of the measurement process. The fixed setting of the spring force gauge allows the relationship between the pressing force and the deformation of the coating of the object to be measured to be measured in real time during the pressing process. The tapered design of the measuring head of the spring force gauge makes the measurement more closely fit the surface of the object to be measured, which improves the sensitivity and accuracy of the measurement. At the same time, the real-time measurement data can provide a reliable basis for the calculation of the coating thickness.

[0018] (4) The anti-slip material design of the pressing plate ensures close contact with the object being measured during the pressing process, prevents slippage, and further improves the accuracy of the measurement. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Example 2: Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a coating thickness measuring device specifically includes the following structure:

[0040] Base: The base is the foundation of the entire measuring device. It is made of sturdy materials to ensure the stability of the device. Four fixed columns are fixed at the bottom of the base. These fixed columns are evenly distributed so that the base can be placed stably on the ground or workbench.

[0041] Suspension arm: The suspension arm is fixedly installed on the top of the base and is used to carry and support the power component, pressing component and measuring component. A slide rail is fixedly opened at the bottom of the suspension arm, which provides guidance for the movement of the measuring component.

[0042] Enclosure assembly: The enclosure assembly includes support columns and enclosure panels. The support columns are fixed to the top of the base to support the enclosure panels. The enclosure panels are shallow disc-shaped with alignment slots on the sides. The alignment slots are used to accurately position the object being measured to ensure the accuracy of the measurement process.

[0043] Placement Components: The placement components include a central column and a placement plate. The central column is fixedly mounted on the top of the base and movably passes through the center of the enclosure plate. The placement plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the central column and can rotate around the central column to accommodate objects of different shapes and sizes. The top of the placement plate is made of non-slip silicone to ensure that the object being measured will not slide during the measurement process.

[0044] Power assembly: The power assembly includes a motor, gears and threaded column. The motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the suspension arm to provide power for the entire measurement process. The motor output shaft is coaxially fixed with a gear, and a threaded column is fixedly mounted at the center of the bottom of the gear. A movable sleeve is movably connected to the bottom of the threaded column. When the motor rotates, it drives the threaded column to rotate through the gear, thereby causing the movable sleeve to move up and down along the threaded column.

[0045] Pressing assembly: The pressing assembly includes a pressing column and a pressing plate. The pressing column is movably installed at the bottom of the suspension arm and is fixed to the side wall of the movable sleeve. The pressing plate is fixed at the bottom of the pressing column. The bottom of the pressing plate is made of non-slip silicone to ensure close contact with the object being measured.

[0046] Measurement Components: The measurement components include a moving rod and a spring force gauge. The moving rod is slidably mounted in the slide rail at the bottom of the suspension arm to ensure stability and accuracy during movement. A spring force gauge is fixedly mounted on the side of the moving rod. The taper of the spring force gauge's measuring head is known and is used to measure the amount of deformation of the coating during pressing, thereby calculating the thickness of the coating.

[0047] The usage process is as follows:

[0048] Preparation: Place the measuring device on a stable workbench, ensuring that the fixed column is firmly in contact with the ground. Adjust the position of the placement plate according to the size and shape of the object to be measured, ensuring that the object to be measured can be placed stably on the placement plate.

[0049] Place the object to be measured: Place the object to be measured on the placement plate, align it with the alignment hole on the side of the baffle, ensure that the position of the object to be measured is accurate, check whether the object to be measured is stable, and if necessary, use a clamp or fixing device to fix it.

[0050] Measurement Startup: Start the motor, which drives the gears and threaded column to rotate, causing the moving sleeve and pressing assembly to move downwards. The pressing plate gradually contacts the object being measured and applies a certain pressure. During the pressing process, the spring balance measures the deformation of the coating in real time.

[0051] Read the measurement results: When the pressure plate reaches the preset pressure value, the motor stops rotating, and the measurement process ends. The thickness of the coating is calculated based on the measurement data of the spring balance and the taper of the measuring head.

[0052] Recording and Analysis: Record the measurement results and compare them with the standard or expected values ​​to analyze whether the coating quality meets the requirements. If multiple measurements are required, repeat the above steps and take the average value of the multiple measurements as the final result.

[0053] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
