[0031] The edge of the flip frame 25 is provided with a second scale 43 that matches the slide 28.

[0032] The working process of the positioning device for profilometer detection in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: First, the workpiece 41 to be detected by the profilometer is placed on the positioning clamping mechanism and clamped. Then, the various mechanisms in the device are adjusted according to actual needs. The position of the workpiece 41 in the X-axis direction is adjusted by the X-axis adjustment mechanism, the position of the workpiece 41 in the Y-axis direction is adjusted by the Y-axis adjustment mechanism, the rotation angle of the workpiece 41 about the Z-axis is adjusted by the rotation adjustment mechanism, and the spatial posture of the workpiece 41 is adjusted by the flipping mechanism. After the adjustment is appropriate, the profilometer is used to detect it. After the detection is completed, the workpiece 41 is removed from the positioning clamping mechanism, and a new workpiece to be detected is placed on the positioning clamping mechanism. The above process is repeated.

[0033] When it is necessary to make adjustments in the X-axis direction using the X-axis adjustment mechanism, the handwheel 6 is used to drive the X-axis lead screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the X-axis platform 3 to move along the X-axis slide rail 2 to achieve adjustment in the X-axis direction.

[0034] When a rotary adjustment mechanism is needed for rotary adjustment, the rotary indexing head 12 is rotated. The end of the rotary indexing head 12 pushes the boss to move, thereby driving the rotary platform 8 to rotate relative to the X-axis platform 3 for fine adjustment in the rotation direction. After adjusting to a suitable rotation angle, the rotary locking screw 15 is tightened. The bottom surface of the rotary locking screw 15 rests on the X-axis platform 3 to fix the rotary platform 8. When the rotary indexing head 12 pushes the boss to move, the rotary platform 8 rotates in one direction. When the rotary indexing head 12 moves in the opposite direction, the rotary platform 8 rotates in the other direction under the pulling action of the rotary return spring 13.

[0035] When adjustments in the Y-axis direction are required using the Y-axis adjustment mechanism, rotate the Y-axis indexing head 18 to push the Y-axis limit frame 19 and the Y-axis platform 16 together to move along the Y-axis direction. When the Y-axis indexing head 18 pushes the Y-axis limit frame 19 to move, the Y-axis platform 16 moves in one direction. When the Y-axis indexing head 18 moves in the opposite direction, the Y-axis platform 16 moves in the other direction under the pulling action of the two Y-axis return springs 21. After the Y-axis platform 16 is adjusted to the appropriate position, tighten the Y-axis positioning bolt 20, whose end rests against the side wall of the rotary platform 8 to fix the Y-axis platform 16.

[0036] When it is necessary to use the flipping mechanism to drive the workpiece 41 to adjust its posture in space, the operator inputs torque through the reducer handwheel 36. After the transmission ratio is changed through the reducer box 35, the short shaft 24 is rotated, which in turn drives the flipping frame 25 to swing relative to the upright plate 23 about the central axis of the short shaft 24. During this process, the user can observe the reading on the electronic angle gauge 38 to determine the tilt angle of the flipping frame 25.

[0037] When clamping workpiece 41 using the positioning and clamping mechanism, first adjust the distance between the two slides 28 according to the length of workpiece 41. During adjustment, drive the double-acting screw 26 to rotate. Since the two slides 28 are connected to the two sections of threads with opposite directions on the double-acting screw 26, the rotation of the double-acting screw 26 will drive the two slides 28 to move towards each other or in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the distance between the two slides 28. After the adjustment is appropriate, place workpiece 41 on the two slides 28, support workpiece 41 with the V-shaped bracket 30, and then rotate the end limit stop 33. Make the end of the limiting stop 33 contact the end face of the workpiece 41, and then tighten the locking knob 34 to fix the limiting stop 33. After the limiting stop 33 at both ends is operated in the above way, the front and rear ends of the workpiece are limited. Adjust the overall height of the telescopic column 31 so that the pressure strip 32 at the top of the telescopic column 31 presses on the top surface of the workpiece 41. The pressing force is the friction between the sleeve and the telescopic rod in the telescopic column 31. After all four telescopic columns 31 and pressure strips 32 are pressed, the workpiece 41 is pressed on the V-shaped bracket 30 to achieve longitudinal limitation.

[0038] After proper adjustment, tighten the clamping bolt 40. The clamping bolt 40 will cause the two elastic clamping blocks 39 to move towards each other, thereby clamping them onto the outer wall of the short shaft 24 and fixing them in place.

[0039] Of all the movements mentioned above, the adjustment in the X-axis direction is a large-scale adjustment, while the adjustments in the other directions are all fine-tuning. Therefore, a first scale 37 for judging the displacement magnitude is designed for the movement in the X-axis direction. The adjustment amount of the workpiece in the X-axis direction is judged by the distance the pointer 42 moves on the first scale 37.

[0040] Meanwhile, the adjustment of the distance between the two carriages 28 in the flipping mechanism is also a large-scale adjustment. Therefore, a second scale 43 is also set on the side of the flipping frame 25, and the length of this second scale 43 is greater than the length of the workpiece 41 being measured. When adjusting the distance between the carriages 28, the distance between the two carriages 28 can be judged intuitively and quickly through the second scale 43.
