Due to the uneven surface of warped steel plates, traditional rangefinders cannot accurately measure their thickness, and there is an urgent need for a measuring device that can adapt to the deformation of steel plates. Utility Model Content

By cooperating with the gantry frame and the rangefinder, the installation height and angle of the rangefinder are adjusted to solve the problem of measurement error of wavy steel plates.

[0004] Technical solution: The present invention provides a thickness measuring device suitable for rolled steel plates, comprising:

[0007] The gantry frame includes two sets of corresponding connecting base plates, support base frames, telescopic side frames, and U-shaped connecting blocks;

[0008] The support base is fixed on the connecting base plate. Both the support base and the telescopic side frame adopt a profile structure.

[0009] Preferably, the support frame is a square profile, which has a first mounting cavity and a second mounting cavity that are connected inside, and the plate connecting the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity is recessed inward to form a trapezoidal limiting groove.

[0017] Preferably, the mounting base plate has a plurality of mounting elongated holes along its length, and the rangefinder is adjusted to the mounting position on the mounting base plate through the mounting elongated holes.

[0035] 3. Rangefinder. Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a thickness measuring device suitable for rolled steel plates, including two sets of gantry frames 2 and at least two distance measuring instruments. The two sets of gantry frames 2 are symmetrically fixed on the conveyor rollers in front of the heat treatment furnace, and the two distance measuring instruments are respectively installed at the far end of the corresponding gantry frames 2 to measure the distance between the steel plate and the gantry frames. In use, the rolled steel plate passes through the gantry frames 2 via the conveyor rollers 1, and the distance measuring instruments set on the upper and lower sides of the rolled steel plate measure the distance between the steel plate and the gantry frames respectively, and the thickness is calculated by the difference.

[0038] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the gantry 2 includes two sets of correspondingly arranged connecting base plates 21, support base frames 22, telescopic side frames 23, and U-shaped connecting blocks 24. The support base frames 22 are fixedly fixed to the connecting base plates 21. Both the support base frames 22 and the telescopic side frames 23 adopt profile structures, and the telescopic side frames 23 are slidably connected within the corresponding support base frames 22. The U-shaped connecting blocks 24 are correspondingly snapped onto the top of the telescopic side frames 23. The tops of the two U-shaped connecting blocks 24 are correspondingly connected to U-shaped adjustment frames 25, and the installation angle of the U-shaped adjustment frames 25 can be adjusted by rotating along the axial direction of the U-shaped connecting blocks 24. The telescopic side frames 23 can adapt to the measurement of steel plates of different thicknesses, and the U-shaped adjustment frames 25 ensure that the rangefinder is aligned with the surface of the steel plate, so that the thickness can be accurately measured even if it is warped.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the support frame 22 is a square profile, which has a first mounting cavity 221 and a second mounting cavity 223 that are connected inside. The plate connecting the first mounting cavity 221 and the second mounting cavity 223 is recessed inward to form a trapezoidal limiting groove 222. The opposite sidewalls of the far ends of the first mounting cavity 221 and the second mounting cavity 223 are provided with limiting clips 224 along the length direction of the support frame 22.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic side frame 23 includes a first limiting cavity 231, a second limiting cavity 233, a third limiting cavity 235, and a fourth limiting cavity 237 arranged in a square shape. The first limiting cavity 231 and the second limiting cavity 233, and the third limiting cavity 235 and the fourth limiting cavity 237 are respectively fixedly connected by reinforcing ribs 236, and a limiting groove 232 is formed on the outer side of the reinforcing ribs 236. The first limiting cavity 231 and the fourth limiting cavity 237, and the second limiting cavity 233 and the third limiting cavity 235 are respectively connected by inwardly recessed plates to form a trapezoidal limiting groove 234. During installation, the second limiting cavity 233 and the third limiting cavity 235 or the first limiting cavity 231 and the fourth limiting cavity 237 of the telescopic side frame 23 are inserted into the first mounting cavity 221 and the second mounting cavity 223 of the support base frame 22, so that the trapezoidal limiting groove 222 of the support base frame 22 cooperates with the trapezoidal limiting groove 234 of the telescopic side frame 23 to achieve sliding limitation, and the limiting clips 224 provided in the first mounting cavity 221 and the second mounting cavity 223 of the support base frame 22 are correspondingly engaged in the limiting slots 232 provided at both ends of the telescopic side frame 23. The telescopic side frame 23 of this structure can be easily adjusted in conjunction with the support base frame 22 to adjust the position of the telescopic side frame 23 within the support base frame 22. The position of the telescopic side frame 23 within the support base frame 22 can be fixed by fixing screws. This allows for easy adjustment of the installation height of the U-shaped adjustment frame 25 connected to the top of the two telescopic side frames 23 and the rangefinder 3 connected to its top. Furthermore, the telescopic side frame 23 and the support base frame 22 of this structure are profile structures, which can be easily assembled.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two sides of the U-shaped connecting block 24 are inserted into the cavities of the second limiting cavity 233 and the third limiting cavity 235 or the first limiting cavity 231 and the fourth limiting cavity 237 along the top of the telescopic side frame 23.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 7As shown, the U-shaped adjustment frame 25 includes a mounting base plate 251 and connecting end plates 252 correspondingly connected to both ends of the mounting base plate 251. Multiple mounting elongated holes 253 are formed along the length of the mounting base plate 251. The rangefinder 3 is adjusted to its mounting position on the mounting base plate 251 through the mounting elongated holes 253. The connecting end plates 252 include two arc-shaped guide grooves 254 correspondingly arranged vertically along the plate body. Each arc-shaped guide groove 254 is connected to a limiting screw 26, and the two limiting screws 26 are respectively connected to the two rods of the U-shaped connecting block 24. This allows the U-shaped adjustment frame 25 to adjust its angle by rotating axially through the limiting screws 26, and the U-shaped adjustment frame 25 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped connecting block 24 by tightening the limiting screws 26. The arc-shaped guide grooves 254 and the limiting screws 26 of the U-shaped adjustment frame 25 cooperate to fine-tune the incident angle between the rangefinder and the conveyor roller 1.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the rangefinder is a SICK type through-beam light curtain rangefinder, which is fixed on the U-shaped adjustment frame 25.

[0044] The above are preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
