Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a measuring fixture for quick installation on a container pallet, including a measuring fixture 1 for measuring the container pallet, the measuring fixture 1 including:

[0027] The main component 11 includes a base plate 113 whose top four corners are fixed by uprights 112;

[0028] The length measuring component 12 includes a first bearing 121 fixed at both the left and right ends of the top of the base plate 111. A first pulley 122 is rotatably mounted in the first bearing 121. A first belt 123 is installed between the two first pulleys 122. A left guide rail 124 and a right guide rail 125 are fixed at the left and right sides of the top of the base plate 111, respectively. A left slider 126 and a right slider 127 are slidably mounted on the left guide rail 124 and the right guide rail 125, respectively. The left slider 126 and the right slider 127 are fixed to the lower end and the upper end of the first belt 123, respectively. A left bracket 128 and a right bracket 129 are fixed to the top of the left slider 126 and the right slider 127, respectively. A first motor 1210 is mounted on the first bearing 121 at the left end and is used to drive the first pulley 122 to rotate.

[0029] Width measuring component 13 includes measuring elements 131 disposed on the left and right sides of the main component 11;

[0030] Contact component 14 is disposed on length measuring component 12 and width measuring component 13 and is used to contact container pallets.

[0031] In this embodiment, the output of the first motor 1210 drives the first pulley 122 to move the first belt 123. The first belt 123 drives the left slider 126 and the right slider 127 to slide in opposite directions along the left guide rail 124 and the right guide rail 125, respectively. At the same time, the left slider 126 and the right slider 127 drive the left and right contact components 14 to move in opposite directions through the left bracket 128 and the right bracket 129, respectively, until the contact components 14 contact the container pallet placed on the base plate 113, thereby measuring the length of the container pallet. The measurement process reduces manual operation while ensuring the accuracy and stability of the measurement.

[0032] Specifically, the measuring component 131 includes a second bearing 1311 fixed at the front and rear ends of the top of the base plate 111. A second pulley 1312 is rotatably mounted in the second bearing 1311. A second belt 1313 is installed between the two second pulleys 1312. A front guide rail 1314 and a rear guide rail 1315 are fixed on the front and rear sides of the top of the base plate 111, respectively. A front slider 1316 and a rear slider 1317 are slidably mounted on the front guide rail 1314 and the rear guide rail 1315, respectively. The front slider 1316 and the rear slider 1317 are fixed to the lower end and the upper end of the second belt 1313, respectively. A front bracket 1318 and a rear bracket 1319 are fixed to the top of the front slider 1316 and the rear slider 1317, respectively.

[0033] In this embodiment, the second belt 1313 is driven to move by the rotation of the second pulley 1312. The second belt 1313 drives the front slider 1316 and the rear slider 1317 to slide in opposite directions along the front guide rail 1314 and the rear guide rail 1315, respectively. At the same time, the front slider 1316 and the rear slider 1317 drive the front and rear contact components 14 to move in opposite directions through the front bracket 1318 and the rear bracket 1319, respectively, until the contact components 14 contact the container mat placed on the base plate 113, thereby measuring the width of the container mat. This allows the length and width measurements to be performed simultaneously, further improving the measurement efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, the width measuring assembly 13 also includes a shaft 132 fixed between two second pulleys 1312 at the rear end, and a second motor 133 is installed at the top rear end of the base plate 111 to drive the shaft 132 to rotate.

[0035] In this embodiment, the output end of the second motor 133 drives the shaft 132 to drive the second pulleys 1312 at both ends to rotate synchronously, thereby controlling the synchronous operation of the measuring components 131 on the left and right sides.

[0036] Specifically, the contact assembly 14 includes a frame 141 with the tops of the left bracket 128, right bracket 129, front bracket 1318, and rear bracket 1319 fixed. Several rollers 142 are rotatably mounted inside the frame 141.

[0037] In this embodiment, the roller 142 rolls in contact with the surface of the container mat, reducing friction and preventing scratches or wear on the surface of the container mat.

[0038] Specifically, the measuring fixture 1 also includes a first position sensor 15 fixed on the top right side of the measuring fixture 1, a first sensing element 16 fixed at the front end of the right guide rail 125, a second position sensor 17 fixed on the top front side of the base plate 111, and a second sensing element 18 fixed at the right end of the front slider 1316.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the right guide rail 125 moves, it drives the first sensing element 16 to move. The length of the container mat can be calculated by detecting the distance between the first position sensor 15 and the first sensing element 16. Similarly, when the front slider 1316 moves, it drives the second sensing element 18 to move. The width of the container mat can be calculated by detecting the distance between the second position sensor 17 and the second sensing element 18. This realizes the automatic detection and calculation of the length and width of the container mat, further improving the automation level and accuracy of the measurement.

[0040] Specifically, the main component 11 also includes left and right sliding grooves 114 formed at the left and right ends inside the substrate 113, and front and rear sliding grooves 115 formed at the front and rear ends inside the substrate 113.

[0041] In this embodiment, the left and right sliding grooves 114 limit the movement of the left support 128 and the right support 129, and the front and rear sliding grooves 115 limit the movement of the front support 1318 and the rear support 1319.

[0042] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the container mat to be measured is placed on the base plate 113; the output end of the first motor 1210 drives the first pulley 122 to drive the first belt 123 to move. The first belt 123 drives the left slider 126 and the right slider 127 to slide in opposite directions along the left guide rail 124 and the right guide rail 125, respectively. At the same time, the left slider 126 and the right slider 127 drive the left and right contact components 14 to move in opposite directions through the left bracket 128 and the right bracket 129, respectively, until the contact components 14 contact the container mat placed on the base plate 113; the length of the container mat to be measured can be calculated by detecting the distance between the first position sensor 15 and the first sensing element 16.

[0043] Simultaneously, the output end of the second motor 133 drives the shaft 132 to drive the second pulleys 1312 at both ends to rotate synchronously. The second pulleys 1312 drive the second belt 1313 to move. The second belt 1313 drives the front slider 1316 and the rear slider 1317 to slide in opposite directions along the front guide rail 1314 and the rear guide rail 1315, respectively. At the same time, the front slider 1316 and the rear slider 1317 drive the front and rear contact components 14 to move in opposite directions through the front bracket 1318 and the rear bracket 1319, respectively, until the contact components 14 contact the container mat placed on the base plate 113. The width of the container mat can be calculated by detecting the distance between the second position sensor 17 and the second sensing element 18.
