In order to ensure the smooth completion of on-site assembly and avoid the unnecessary transportation of parts, it is necessary to inspect the parts after they are manufactured. Among the inspections of wind turbine flanges, the inspection of bolt hole diameter is an important part. As a result, more and more gauges for inspecting bolt hole diameter have emerged.

[0003] However, the existing gauges for inspecting flange bolt holes in wind turbines still have the following defects during use:

[0004] Existing gauges for inspecting bolt holes on wind turbine flanges measure the diameter of bolt holes by using vernier calipers. This involves aligning the calipers with the edge of the bolt hole or inserting them into the hole to press against the inner wall. However, this method is cumbersome and prone to tilting during operation, which can lead to measurement errors and reduce the accuracy of the inspection. Utility Model Content

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the utility model embodiment more clear, the technical scheme in the utility model embodiment will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the utility model embodiment.

[0024] A fan flange bolt hole detection gauge according to a preferred embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail as follows, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-6 A fan flange bolt hole detection gauge, including detection head 1, the top end of detection head 1 is fixedly installed with handle 2, the bottom of detection head 1 is provided with rectangular groove 3, the bottom of detection head 1 is conical, rectangular groove 3 penetrates the left and right side walls of detection head 1, the central part inside detection head 1 is provided with cylindrical groove 4, lifting rod 5 is slidably connected in the inside of cylindrical groove 4, spring one 6 is fixedly connected between the top end of lifting rod 5 and the inner wall of cylindrical groove 4, the diameter of cylindrical groove 4 is greater than the width of rectangular groove 3, the bottom end of cylindrical groove 4 is aligned with the bottom end of rectangular groove 3, the top end of cylindrical groove 4 extends upwards to the inside of handle 2, which is convenient for lifting rod 5 to move stably up and down.

[0025] The bottom end of lifting rod 5 is fixedly installed with cross rod 7, cross rod 7 is located in the inside of rectangular groove 3 and is limitingly and slidably connected with rectangular groove 3, and cross rod 7 penetrates rectangular groove 3, the left and right ends of cross rod 7 are fixedly installed with baffle 8, the outside of the middle part of cross rod 7 is symmetrically and slidably connected with cylindrical cylinder 9 on the left and right, and the ends away from each other of the left and right cylindrical cylinders 9 are fixedly connected with spring two 10 between baffle 8.

[0026] The ends away from each other of the left and right cylindrical cylinders 9 are fixedly installed with conical cylinder 91, conical cylinder 91 is wrapped outside cross rod 7, and conical cylinder 91 is attached to the outer wall of cross rod 7, the top outer wall of the left and right sides of cross rod 7 is engraved with scale line 71, through the cooperation of conical cylinder 91 and scale line 71, the diameter of the measured screw hole can be read.

[0027] The top of each adjacent side of the cylindrical cylinder 9 on both the left and right sides is connected to an upper roller 92 for limiting rotation. The upper roller 92 makes contact with the left and right side walls of the detection head 1 by pressing, so that the cylindrical cylinder 9 can move to both sides by the interaction between the upper roller 92 and the left and right side walls of the detection head 1 during the up and down movement of the cylindrical cylinder 9.

[0028] The bottom of the cylindrical tubes 9 on both sides is rotatably connected to a lower roller 93. The bottom edge of the lower roller 93 extends downward to the bottom of the cylindrical tube 9, which facilitates the movement of the cylindrical tube 9 to both sides after the lower roller 93 contacts the top of the flange.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] When it is necessary to test the diameter of the bolt holes of the flange, the bottom tip of the test head 1 is inserted into the bolt hole by holding the handle 2. During the insertion of the test head 1, the contact between the bottom roller 93 of the cylindrical tube 9 and the top end face of the flange causes the cylindrical tube 9 to drive the crossbar 7 and the lifting rod 5 to compress the spring 6 upward. During the upward movement of the cylindrical tube 9, the cooperation between the top roller 92 on the inner side of the cylindrical tube 9 and the inclined surfaces on the left and right sides of the test head 1 causes the compression spring 10 of the cylindrical tube 9 to move to both sides, thereby driving the conical tube 91 to move to both sides outside the crossbar 7.

[0031] When the diameter of the bolt hole is larger, the depth to which the detection head 1 can be inserted is greater. Therefore, the crossbar 7 and the lifting rod 5 move upward relative to the detection head 1 more. Consequently, the upper roller 92, in cooperation with the inclined surfaces on the left and right sides of the detection head 1, pushes the conical cylinder 91 to move more to both sides. Conversely, when the diameter of the bolt hole is smaller, the conical cylinder 91 moves less to both sides outside the crossbar 7. Therefore, by observing how much the conical cylinder 91 moves to both sides, the diameter of the bolt hole can be determined. Thus, by cooperating with the scale lines 71 on the top outer wall of the left and right sides of the crossbar 7, the diameter of the bolt hole can be read.

[0032] After the measurement is completed, the detection head 1 is pulled out directly. The lifting rod 5 will drive the crossbar 7 back to the bottom of the rectangular groove 3 under the action of the restoring force of the spring 6. The detection head 1 can be directly inserted into the bolt hole for the next measurement. Moreover, due to the conical design of the bottom of the detection head 1, combined with the symmetrical extension of the crossbar 7 on both sides, the measurement will not be tilted during the measurement process, thus improving the accuracy of the measurement.

[0033] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
