[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Please see the appendix Figure 1-4 A flange inspection fixture, comprising:

[0022] The system comprises a base 1, a positioning component 2, a position adjustment component 3, and a micrometer 4. The base 1 has a horizontal mounting through hole 10 and a rectangular mounting groove 11 on its top surface. The positioning component 2 includes an adjusting cylinder 20, two threaded rods 21, and two positioning blocks 22. The inner wall of the adjusting cylinder 20 has threads with opposite directions at both ends, and the adjusting cylinder 20 passes through and is movably connected to the mounting through hole 10. One end of each of the two threaded rods 21 is threaded to both ends of the adjusting cylinder 20, and the other end passes through and is fixedly connected to the two positioning blocks 22. The position adjustment component 3 is detachably connected to the top surface of the base 1, and the micrometer 4 is detachably connected to the end of the position adjustment component 3 away from the base 1.

[0023] In practical use, the base 1 and the positioning component 2 connected to it can be taken out separately. The base 1 is placed in the middle of the flange, and then the adjusting cylinder 20 is rotated. Since the threads at both ends of the adjusting cylinder 20 are opposite, the two threaded rods 21 connected to it will move away from the base 1 at the same time and gradually come into contact with the inner diameter of the flange until the position of the base 1 is completely fixed. During this process, it is important to note that the bottom surfaces of the two positioning blocks 22 are always in contact with the plane on which the flange is placed. Due to the synchronous movement of the two threaded rods 21, the center of the base 1 after the position is fixed coincides with the center of the flange. Then, the position adjusting component 3 is installed in the rectangular mounting slot 11 and the micrometer 4 is moved to the appropriate position for inspection.

[0024] Specifically, at least one annular groove 100 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting through hole 10, and an annular protrusion 200 matching the annular groove 100 is provided on the outer wall of the adjusting cylinder 20. Considering that the adjusting cylinder 20 needs to rotate to adjust the threaded rod 21, and the position of the base 1 cannot be changed, the combination of the annular groove 100 and the annular protrusion 200 can not only ensure the normal rotation of the adjusting cylinder 20, but also ensure that the position of the adjusting cylinder 20 does not change during the rotation.

[0025] Specifically, the position adjustment assembly 3 includes a first rectangular block 30, a sleeve plate 31, a second rectangular block 32, and a rotating shaft 33. The first rectangular block 30 is placed in the rectangular mounting groove 11. One end of the rotating shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the first rectangular block 30, and the other end is connected to the sleeve plate 31 via a bearing. The second rectangular block 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the sleeve plate 31 away from the first rectangular block 30, and the second rectangular block 32 is provided with a vertical through hole 320 and a first locking pin 321. The lower end of the micrometer 4 passes through the vertical through hole 320, and one end of the first locking pin 321 passes through the side wall of the second rectangular block 32 and connects with the micrometer 4. The first locking pin 321 is threadedly connected to the second rectangular block 32. The position adjustment component 3 only needs to be able to move the micrometer 4. Considering the stability of the overall structure, a sleeve plate 31, a first rectangular block 30 and a second rectangular block 32 are used. By matching the first rectangular block 30 with the rectangular mounting groove 11, the installation and removal of the position adjustment component 3 and the base 1 can be completed quickly, avoiding mutual interference between the positioning component 2 and the position adjustment component 3 during use. The sleeve plate 31 not only has an adjustment function, but also has a certain degree of rigidity to prevent bending during adjustment.

[0026] Specifically, the sleeve 31 includes an outer sleeve 310, an inner sleeve 311, and a second locking pin 312. The inner sleeve 311 is sleeved inside the outer sleeve 310, and the second locking pin 312 passes through the outer sleeve 310 and contacts the inner sleeve 311. The top surface of the inner sleeve 311 is provided with marking scale 3110.

[0027] In actual use, after the position adjustment component 3 and the rectangular mounting groove 11 are installed by the second rectangular block 32, it is ensured that the rotation center of the sleeve 31 coincides with the center of the flange. Then, by loosening the second locking pin 312, the position of the inner sleeve 311 is adjusted, thereby changing the position of the second rectangular block 32. After adjustment, the second locking pin 312 is used to lock the position. Then, the first locking pin 321 is loosened, and the position of the micrometer 4 is adjusted so that the lower end of the micrometer 4 contacts the flange surface or the annular groove on the flange used to install the sealing ring. The reading of the micrometer 4 at this time is recorded (it is recommended to use a micrometer 4 with a smaller reading). Then, the sleeve 31 is rotated by the rotating shaft 33, and the change in the reading on the micrometer 4 is observed to determine the test result.

[0028] Specifically, the base 1 is provided with an annular auxiliary groove 12, and the annular auxiliary groove 12 is provided with a matching auxiliary component 5. The auxiliary component 5 includes an extension plate 50, an auxiliary cylinder 51, and a threaded cap 52. The extension plate 50 is fixedly connected to the end of the sleeve 31 away from the second rectangular block 32. The lower end of the auxiliary cylinder 51 is located in the annular auxiliary groove 12, and its upper end passes through the extension plate 50 and is threadedly connected to the threaded cap 52. Considering that the overall length of the sleeve 31 is relatively long, in order to further avoid the situation where the sleeve 31 tilts, To prevent errors in the test results, an auxiliary component 5 is installed at the end away from the second rectangular block 32. The auxiliary cylinder 51, the threaded cap 52, and the annular auxiliary groove 12 on the base 1 work together to balance the sleeve 31 and prevent the second rectangular block 32 from lifting up at one end. The auxiliary cylinder 51 and the annular auxiliary groove 12 are fitted together, for example, by using a convex auxiliary cylinder 51 and a concave annular auxiliary groove 12. This ensures that the auxiliary cylinder 51 can slide normally and that the lower end of the auxiliary cylinder 51 will not come out of the annular auxiliary groove 12.

[0029] Specifically, the bottom surface of the positioning block 22 is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom surface of the base 1.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
