Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of dimensional inspection technology, and more specifically, to a dimensional inspection device for piston parts. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of piston parts, the dimensional accuracy of piston rings plays a decisive role in engine performance. The thickness of the piston ring directly affects the sealing effect and friction performance; uneven thickness or excessive deviation can easily lead to oil leakage and power loss. If the outer diameter does not meet the standards, it will cause improper fit with the cylinder wall, resulting in air leakage and accelerated wear. Therefore, thickness and outer diameter measurement are essential steps to ensure the normal operation of piston rings and improve engine reliability and efficiency.
[0003] Currently, the inspection of piston ring thickness and outer diameter largely relies on manual operation of tools such as calipers and micrometers. Manual inspection has significant drawbacks: prolonged work can lead to visual fatigue in inspectors, resulting in reading inaccuracies; different operators use varying techniques and pressure, causing inconsistencies in measurement results; and manual inspection is inefficient, failing to meet the inspection needs of large-scale piston ring production. This not only delays production schedules but also increases labor costs and hinders efficient quality control. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, multiple placement plates are provided above the base, and each placement plate has an electric push rod inside. Two of the electric push rods are fixedly connected to an arc-shaped plate at opposite ends.
[0015] Furthermore, each of the other two electric push rods has a long plate fixedly connected to one end facing the other, and both long plates are higher than the curved plate.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the electrical connection between the control panel and the length measuring instrument, electric push rod, and motor enables preset detection parameters, component linkage control, and automatic qualification judgment, thereby automating the detection process and improving quality inspection efficiency.
[0019] Furthermore, the clamping block has a cavity inside, and a rod is fixedly connected inside the cavity. A multi-stage telescopic rod is provided on one side of the rod, and an L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the multi-stage telescopic rod. A round block is slidably connected to the outside of the rod.
[0020] Furthermore, two rotating rods are rotatably connected to the outer end of the circular block, and rollers are rotatably connected to the outer ends of the two rotating rods.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-6 A size detection device for piston parts includes a base 1, and a size detection component is provided above the base 1;
[0034] The dimension detection assembly includes a connecting column 6, a connecting rod 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a connecting plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 2, a slidable connection between the connecting column 6 and the connecting plate 4, and two fixing plates 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column 6, with clamping blocks 8 fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two fixing plates 7.
[0035] A length measuring instrument 3 is provided above the connecting plate 4, and the length measuring instrument 3 is located on one side of the connecting column 6.
[0036] Reference Figures 4-5 An L-plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 4. A motor 17 is located above the L-plate. A lead screw 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 17. A plate body 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 2. The end of the lead screw 5 away from the motor 17 is rotatably connected to the plate body 15. A slider 14 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 5. A limit plate 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 14. A limit groove 13 is opened inside the connecting rod 2. The limit plate 12 is slidably connected to the limit groove 13. A drive plate 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the slider 14 away from the limit plate 12. One end of the drive plate 16 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 6.
[0037] When inspecting the piston ring dimensions, the piston component to be inspected is first placed on the base 1. Initially, the clamping block 8 is not in contact with the base 1. Then, the motor 17 is started, and the output end of the motor 17 drives the lead screw 5 to rotate. Since the lead screw 5 and the slider 14 are threadedly connected, and the limiting plate 12 slides within the limiting groove 13, the slider 14 can only move along the axial direction of the lead screw 5. When the lead screw 5 rotates clockwise, the slider 14 moves along the lead screw 5 towards the piston component. The slider 14 drives the connecting post 6 to slide downward on the connecting plate 4 via the drive plate 16. The bottom of the connecting post 6 is connected to the clamping block 8 via the fixing plate 7, so when the connecting post 6 slides downward, the clamping block 8 also moves downward until it presses against the piston component placed on the base 1. After the clamping block 8 presses against the piston ring, the length measuring instrument 3, located above the connecting plate 4 and on one side of the connecting post 6, starts working to detect the thickness of the piston ring. By detecting the length of the connecting post 6 extending out of the connecting plate 4 using the length measuring instrument 3, the purpose of detecting the piston ring thickness can be achieved.
[0038] After the test is completed, the control motor 17 reverses, the lead screw 5 rotates in the opposite direction, and the slider 14 moves along the lead screw 5 away from the piston fitting, thereby driving the connecting column 6 and the clamping block 8 to rise and reset, so as to carry out the next test operation.
[0039] Without any workpieces placed on it, the top of the connecting column 6 is flush with the connecting plate 4, so the displacement change of the connecting column 6 can be used to directly calculate the piston ring thickness.
[0040] The length measuring instrument 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] Reference Figures 1-4 The base 1 has multiple placement plates 9 on top, and each of the multiple placement plates 9 has an electric push rod 10 inside. Two of the electric push rods 10 are fixedly connected to an arc plate 11 at one end facing each other, and two other electric push rods 10 are fixedly connected to a long plate 19 at one end facing each other. Both long plates 19 are higher than the arc plate 11.
[0042] The control panel 18 has buttons for controlling two sets of electric push rods 10. To test the thickness of the piston ring, first place the piston ring flat in the testing area between the two arc plates 11. Then, start the corresponding electric push rod 10 through the control panel 18. The electric push rod 10 pushes the arc plates 11 to move towards each other. The arc surface of the arc plate 11 fits against the outer circle of the piston ring, clamping and fixing the flat piston ring to ensure that it remains horizontal and stable during the testing process.
[0043] To test the outer diameter of the piston ring, place the piston ring vertically between two long plates 19, the height of which can be adapted to the height of the piston ring when it is placed vertically. Activate another set of electric push rods 10 via the control panel 18 to push the long plates 19 to move towards each other. The sides of the piston ring are clamped by the plane of the long plates 19, thus vertically fixing the piston ring and preventing it from tilting or shaking.
[0044] After fixing, the dimension detection components (connecting column 6, clamping block 8, length detector 3, etc.) are activated to automatically detect the thickness, outer diameter, and other dimensions of the piston ring. After the detection is completed, the electric push rod 10 moves in the reverse direction to release the arc plate 11 or the long plate 19, allowing the piston ring to be removed.
[0045] Different sizes of piston rings will be matched with different models of size inspection devices to adapt to the different levels of inspection requirements. One size inspection device is only suitable for piston rings of the same specification. The size inspection device will measure and judge the thickness and outer diameter of the piston ring to ensure that its dimensional accuracy meets the design standards and usage requirements. After each piston ring is inspected, the results are presented in real time through the control panel 18 in the form of visual data, signal indicator lights, and graphical interface to facilitate subsequent processing.
[0046] Reference Figures 1-5 A control panel 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 4 away from the length measuring instrument 3. The control panel 18 is electrically connected to the length measuring instrument 3, multiple electric push rods 10 and motor 17.
[0047] The operator first presets the standard parameters and tolerance range for piston ring testing on the control panel 18. After selecting the testing mode, the panel sends a command to the motor 17 to drive the lead screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting column 6 and the clamping block 8 to descend and clamp the piston ring. At the same time, the electric push rod 10 drives the arc plate 11 to complete the clamping and positioning. After the workpiece is fixed, the thickness, outer diameter and other dimensions are measured in real time by the length measuring instrument 3, and the data is transmitted to the control panel 18 for comparison with the preset standard to quickly determine the pass rate.
[0048] Reference Figure 6 The clamping block 8 has a cavity inside, and a rod 23 is fixedly connected inside the cavity. A multi-stage telescopic rod 24 is provided on one side of the rod 23. An L-shaped plate 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the multi-stage telescopic rod 24. A round block 20 is slidably connected to the outside of the rod 23. Two rotating rods 21 are rotatably connected to the outer end of the round block 20. Rollers 22 are rotatably connected to the outer ends of the two rotating rods 21. A sensing pad is sleeved on the outer wall of the roller 22. The sensing pad is electrically connected to the controller.
[0049] When the clamping block 8 descends to measure the thickness, the multi-stage telescopic rod 24 drives the L-shaped plate 25 to descend. The descent of the L-shaped plate 25 drives the rotating rods 21 and rollers 22 on both sides to descend. When the rollers 22 contact the base 1, they roll outwards. When the rollers 22 contact the inner diameter of the piston ring, the sensing pad converts the pressure change into an electrical signal. The signal strength is positively correlated with the pressure magnitude. After receiving the electrical signal, the controller converts the signal strength into a displacement according to the built-in algorithm, thus determining the inner diameter of the piston ring.
[0050] When the piston rings are being tested for thickness, roller 22 rises and returns to its original position, which does not affect the thickness measurement.
[0051] The clamping block 8 is suitable for piston rings of the same specification. The clamping block 8 can also be made in different sizes and equipped with different size detection devices to adapt to piston rings of different sizes.
[0052] Working Principle: First, the operator places the piston ring flat between two arc-shaped plates 11 or vertically between two long plates 19 according to the testing requirements (such as thickness or outer diameter). The operator then selects the corresponding testing mode and inputs the standard parameters and tolerance range via the control panel 18. Next, pressing the start button sends a command to the motor 17, which drives the lead screw 5 to rotate. Since the lead screw 5 is threadedly connected to the slider 14 and the limiting plate 12 slides within the limiting groove 13, the slider 14 moves axially along the lead screw 5. This movement, via the drive plate 16, causes the connecting post 6 to slide downwards on the connecting plate 4. The clamping block 8 at the bottom of the connecting post 6 descends accordingly, until the piston ring is clamped. Simultaneously, the control panel 18 controls the corresponding electric push rod 10. If the thickness is being tested, the electric push rod 10 pushes the arc-shaped plates 11 to move towards each other, clamping the piston ring horizontally by the arc surface against its outer diameter. If the outer diameter is being tested, the electric push rod 10 drives the long plates 19 to move towards each other, clamping the side of the vertically placed piston ring with a flat surface to fix it vertically.
[0053] After the piston rings are fixed, the control panel 18 triggers the length measuring instrument 3 to start working, measuring the thickness or outer diameter of the piston rings in real time. The length measuring instrument 3 transmits the collected dimensional data to the control panel 18, which compares it with the preset tolerance standard to determine whether the piston rings are qualified. After the inspection is completed, the control panel 18 controls the motor 17 to reverse, the lead screw 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the slider 14 to drive the connecting column 6 and the clamping block 8 to rise and reset. At the same time, it controls the electric push rod 10 to move in the opposite direction, releasing the arc plate 11 or the long plate 19, allowing the operator to remove the piston rings. If the inspection result is qualified, the control panel 18 displays a qualified signal; if it is unqualified, it issues a reminder for subsequent processing.
[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
