Detailed Implementation

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this application, the technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a taper measuring instrument 100 includes a measuring instrument body 110, a connecting assembly 120, and a support assembly 130. The measuring instrument body 110 includes a housing 111 and a support base 112 connected to the housing 111. The connecting assembly 120 has two or more sets, and each connecting assembly 120 includes a mounting block 121 connected to the housing 111 and a connecting mechanism 122 disposed on the mounting block 121. The support assembly 130 is the same number as the connecting assembly 120 and is positioned correspondingly to it. The support assembly 130 includes a sleeve rod 131 and a support rod 130. 2 and base 133, one end of sleeve rod 131 is connected to the connecting structure, the other end of sleeve rod 131 is slidably sleeved with support rod 132, support rod 132 is hinged to base 133; sleeve rod 131 and support rod 132, one of which is provided with limiting mechanism 134, the other is provided with several limiting holes 135 that cooperate with limiting mechanism 134, sleeve rod 131 can slide along support rod 132 and be limited and fixed by limiting mechanism 134 and one of the limiting holes 135 to adjust the height of base 133 relative to detector body 110.

[0034] By providing a connecting component 120 on the instrument body 110, the connecting mechanism 122 of the connecting component 120 clamps the sleeve 131 of the support component 130. Height adjustment is achieved primarily through the sliding engagement of the support rod 132 and the sleeve 131, followed by the cooperation of the limiting mechanism 134 and the limiting hole 135, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the support component 130 and achieving stable calibration of the entire tapered measuring instrument 100. In some embodiments, the sleeve 131 is detachably connected to the connecting mechanism 122, meaning the top of the sleeve 131 can be limited by the connecting mechanism 122. This improves the flexibility of supporting and reinforcing the front and rear sides of the instrument body 110, facilitating adjustments for different working environments and simplifying the installation and removal of the support component 130.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connecting component 120 has two, three, or four sets, and the corresponding support component 130 has two, three, or four sets, which facilitates the adjustment of the overall stability of the taper detector 100.

[0036] In some embodiments, the end of the support rod 132 is hinged to a hinge 136, and a base 133 is mounted on the bottom surface of the hinge 136. The hinge 136 is mounted at the center of the upper surface of the base 133, and each base 133 is hinged to the end of the support rod 132 through a hinge 136. The hinge 136 is used to assist the connection between the support rod 132 and the base 133, thereby better adapting to different environments for support.

[0037] Therefore, when the taper measuring instrument 100 needs to be used in a non-planar area, the support rod 132 is inserted into the sleeve rod 131, and the sleeve rod 131 is clamped and limited by the connecting mechanism 122. The sleeve rod 131 and the support rod 132 are mutually inserted and inserted to adjust the length. The cooperation between the limiting mechanism 134 and the limiting hole 135 limits the height of the support component 130, thereby improving the adaptability of the support seat 112 of the measuring instrument body 110 in the calibration process in a non-planar area and strengthening the stability of the measuring instrument body 110 in the calibration process in a non-planar area.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the sleeve 131 is at least partially sleeved on the support rod 132; the support rod 132 is provided with a limiting mechanism 134, and the sleeve 131 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 135 that cooperate with the limiting mechanism 134. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the detector body 110, it can be detachably connected through the limiting mechanism 134 in the limiting holes 135, thereby facilitating flexible adjustment of the length of the support assembly 130 and making it more flexible to adapt to the use of slopes in different environments.

[0039] In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 134 includes an elastic element 1341 and a limiting element 1342 that cooperates with a limiting hole 135. The extension and retraction of the elastic element 1341 can correspondingly cooperate with the corresponding limiting hole 135. One end of the elastic element 1341 is connected to the support rod 132, and the other end is connected to the limiting element 1342. When the elastic element 1341 is pressed, the limiting element 1342 disengages from the limiting hole 135, and the support rod 132 and the sleeve rod 131 can slide relative to each other. After the length adjustment is completed, the limiting element 1342, under the action of the elastic element 1341, cooperates with the limiting hole 135 to limit and fix the support rod 132 and the sleeve rod 131, thereby limiting and fixing the length of the support assembly 130.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the support rod 132 is also provided with a guide groove 1321. One end of the elastic member 1341 is connected to the guide groove 1321. When the limiting member 1342 is pressed, the limiting member 1342 squeezes the elastic member 1341 so that both the limiting member 1342 and the elastic member 1341 are located in the guide groove 1321. Then, the relative position of the moving sleeve rod 131 and the support rod 132 is adjusted for height, which can ensure that the limiting member 1342 moves along the axial direction of the guide groove 1321 and ensure the stability of the movement.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the limiting member 1342 away from the elastic member 1341 is hemispherical, and the limiting hole 135 is a circular hole. This facilitates the movement of the hemispherical limiting member 1342 into or out of the circular hole. In some embodiments, the distance between any two adjacent limiting holes 135 is equal, facilitating length adjustment. The length of the support rod 132 inside the sleeve rod 131 is limited by the limiting hole 135, thereby facilitating adaptation to different installation environments.

[0042] like Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 122 includes a threaded rod 1221, a central shaft block 1222, two or more clamping members 1223, a winch 1224, and spokes 1225. The threaded rod 1221 extends into the mounting block 121 and is rotatably connected to the mounting block 121 via a bearing. When the threaded rod 1221 is rotated, the threaded rod 1221 and the mounting block 121 do not move relative to each other; only the threaded rod 1221 rotates. The central shaft block 1222 is sleeved on the threaded rod 1221 and threadedly connected to the threaded rod 1221. The two or more clamping members 1223 are hinged to the central shaft block 1222 and cooperate with the sleeve rod 131. The winch 1224 is connected to the outer shell 111. The spokes 1225 are all hinged to the corresponding winch 1224 and the corresponding clamping member 1223. The number of winches 1224 and spokes 1225 is equal to the number of clamping members 1223, and their positions correspond one-to-one. The rotating threaded rod 1221 drives the central shaft block 1222 to move up and down. The spokes 1225 enhance the fixing effect of the clamping member 1223 on the surface of the central shaft block 1222, thereby increasing the traction force of the threaded rod 1221 on the clamping member 1223. In some embodiments, the clamping member 1223 can be a gripper.

[0043] In some embodiments, each clamping member 1223 has two hinge holes on its top. One hinge hole is used to hinge with the spoke 1225, and the other hinge hole is used to hinge with the central axle block 1222. The clamping member 1223 opens and closes inside the mounting block 121, thereby facilitating the restriction of the top of the sleeve 131.

[0044] In some embodiments, a circular hole is provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting block 121. A bearing is installed inside the circular hole on the upper surface of the mounting block 121 and then rotatably connected to the threaded rod 1221. The circular hole on the lower surface of the mounting block 121 is detachably inserted into the sleeve rod 131. The mounting block 121 is used to accommodate the top of the sleeve rod 131, thereby facilitating the overall installation of the sleeve rod 131.

[0045] In some embodiments, the sleeve 131 includes a rod body 1311 and a ball head 1312. The ball head 1312 is located near one end of the connecting mechanism 122. The ball head 1312 and a clamping member 1223 are provided, one of which has a protrusion 1226, and the other has a groove 1313 that mates with the protrusion 1226. In some embodiments, the clamping member 1223 has a groove 1313, and the ball head 1312 has a protrusion 1226. In other embodiments, the clamping member 1223 has a protrusion 1226, and the ball head 1312 has a groove 1313. The engagement of the groove 1313 and the protrusion 1226 can ensure the stability of the clamping, prevent slippage during the clamping process, and increase the friction.

[0046] In some embodiments, the ball head 1312 is provided with a groove 1313 along the circumference, and the clamping member 1223 is provided with a protrusion 1226 that mates with the groove 1313. The mating of the groove 1313 and the protrusion 1226 can ensure the stability of clamping, prevent slippage during clamping, and increase friction.

[0047] In some embodiments, the number of clamping members 1223 is three, and the number of grooves 1313 on the ball head 1312 is also three, with the positions of the three grooves 1313 corresponding to the positions of the three clamping members 1223. The clamping members 1223 extend from one end of the ball head 1312 to the other end, and the three clamping members 1223 can clamp the ball head 1312 of the sleeve rod 131. When needed, the ball head 1312 of the support assembly 130 can be inserted into the clamping member 1223, and then the opening degree of the clamping member 1223 can be adjusted by rotating the threaded rod 1221, which facilitates disassembly and installation.

[0048] In some embodiments, the support base 112 includes a support column 1121 connected to the housing 111 and a base plate 1122 connected to the support column 1121. The support column 1121 and the base plate 1122 are used to support the detector body 110.

[0049] In some embodiments, the base 133 is arranged circumferentially along the base plate 1122. That is, the height can be adjusted along the circumferential direction of the base plate 1122 to ensure the overall stability of the taper detector 100.

[0050] Please refer to the following when using it. Figure 1-6First, the operator needs to manually place the taper measuring instrument 100 in a relatively flat area. Then, based on the current work requirements, the operator decides whether to add a sleeve rod 131 and a support rod 132. If addition is required, the operator manually inserts the top of the sleeve rod 131 into the mounting block 121 through the insertion hole on the lower surface of the mounting block 121. After the top of the sleeve rod 131 is inserted, the operator manually rotates the threaded rod 1221 extending out of the upper surface of the mounting block 121. The rotation of the threaded rod 1221 drives the displacement of the central shaft block 1222, causing the threaded central shaft block 1222 to move upward. With the assistance of the outer spokes 1225, this moves the clamping part 1. 223 is brought inward to limit the top of the sleeve rod 131. After the sleeve rod 131 is installed inside the mounting block 121, the support rod 132 is manually inserted along the bottom of the sleeve rod 131 by the operator. During the insertion of the support rod 132 along the bottom of the sleeve, the limiting member 1342 can extend and retract along the guide groove 1321 with the assistance of the elastic member 1341, and is extended and fixed through the limiting hole 135, thereby limiting the length of the support rod 132 inside the sleeve rod 131. At the same time, the hinge 136 is used to assist the base 133 to connect to the bottom of the support rod 132, so as to better adapt to different non-planar environments for the calibration of the taper measuring instrument 100.

[0051] Through the above embodiments, this application has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0052] 1) When the taper measuring instrument 100 needs to be used in a non-planar area, the support rod 132 is inserted into the sleeve rod 131. The sleeve rod 131 is clamped and limited by the connecting mechanism 122. The sleeve rod 131 and the support rod 132 are mutually inserted and inserted to adjust the length. The cooperation between the limiting mechanism 134 and the limiting hole 135 limits the height of the support component 130, thereby improving the adaptability of the support seat 112 of the measuring instrument body 110 in the calibration process in a non-planar area and strengthening the stability of the measuring instrument body 110 in the calibration process in a non-planar area.
