Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ceramic needle manufacturing, and in particular to a testing fixture for detecting the length of ceramic needle tubes. Background Technology
[0002] Zirconia ceramic components have advantages such as high toughness, high bending strength, high wear resistance, excellent thermal insulation performance, and a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of steel, so they are widely used in the field of structural ceramics.
[0003] When manufacturing ceramic needles, there are strict requirements for the length of the needle tube. Because ceramic needles have steps in their structure, the current method of measuring depth with vernier calipers or measuring the total length and the step length separately with a micrometer and calculating the difference is used to detect the length of the ceramic needle tube. However, because ceramic needles have steps, when using vernier calipers to measure depth to detect the length of the ceramic needle tube, it is easy to make inaccurate positioning due to shaking, resulting in low data accuracy. Alternatively, when using a micrometer, it is necessary to measure twice to calculate the length of the needle tube, resulting in slow detection efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a testing fixture for detecting the length of ceramic needle tubes that is easy to detect, has high detection accuracy and high detection efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model includes a fixed base, on which a first mounting hole, a second mounting hole, and a measuring tool are provided. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are coaxially arranged. A positioning element is provided in the first mounting hole. The positioning element is provided with a measuring hole into which a ceramic needle can be inserted. When the ceramic needle is inserted into the measuring hole, the positioning element abuts against the stepped surface of the ceramic needle. The measuring tool has a measuring rod, the end of which passes through the second mounting hole and extends into the measuring hole.
[0006] Furthermore, the positioning element includes a positioning head and an inner tube, the inner tube being embedded in the positioning head, and the measuring hole being formed in the inner tube.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the measuring hole is adapted to the diameter of the ceramic needle.
[0008] Furthermore, the measuring instrument is a dial indicator.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixed base is provided with a first locking part and a second locking part, the first locking part can be locked in the first mounting hole, and the second locking part can be locked in the second mounting hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the first locking part includes a first locking hole and a first connecting member, the first locking hole being connected to the upper end of the first mounting hole, and the first connecting member being connected to the first locking hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the second locking part includes a second locking hole and a second connecting member. The second locking hole communicates with the upper end of the second mounting hole, and the second connecting member is connected in the second locking hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixed base includes a base plate and a connecting seat, with the connecting seat fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In contrast to the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention, when measuring the length of a ceramic needle tube, first uses a standard part to zero the reading of the measuring rod, then inserts the tip of the ceramic needle axially into the measuring hole, so that the stepped surface of the ceramic needle fits against the positioning part. During this process, the tip of the ceramic needle extends into the measuring hole and pushes the measuring rod. At this time, the reading of the measuring rod is the length relative to the standard part. If the acceptable dimensional tolerance is within ±0.050mm, this invention, during measurement, uses the positioning part to abut against the stepped surface of the ceramic needle to limit the axial movement distance of the ceramic needle and position it, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and thus improving the detection accuracy. Moreover, the relative measurement method for length detection allows for intuitive and rapid results, and is easy to operate, giving this invention the advantages of easy detection, high detection accuracy, and high detection efficiency.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a fixed base 1, on which a first mounting hole 2, a second mounting hole 3, and a measuring tool 5 are provided. The first mounting hole 2 and the second mounting hole 3 are coaxially arranged. A positioning member 6 is provided in the first mounting hole 2. A measuring hole 8 is provided in the positioning member 6 for a ceramic needle 7 to be inserted. When the ceramic needle 7 is inserted into the measuring hole 8, the positioning member 6 abuts against the stepped surface of the ceramic needle 7. The measuring tool 5 has a measuring rod 9. The end of the measuring rod 9 passes through the second mounting hole 3 and extends into the measuring hole 8.
[0026] In contrast to the shortcomings of existing technologies, in this invention, when measuring the length of the ceramic needle 7, the reading of the measuring rod 9 is first zeroed using a standard part. Then, the tip of the ceramic needle 7 is inserted axially into the measuring hole 8, so that the stepped surface of the ceramic needle 7 is in contact with the positioning part 6. During this process, the tip of the ceramic needle 7 extends into the measuring hole 8 and pushes the measuring rod 9. At this time, the reading of the measuring rod 9 is the length relative to the standard part. If the acceptable dimensional tolerance is within ±0.050mm, then in this invention, the positioning part 6 abuts against the stepped surface of the ceramic needle 7 to limit the axial movement distance of the ceramic needle 7 and position it, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and thus improving the detection accuracy. Moreover, the relative measurement method for length detection allows for intuitive and rapid detection of results, and the operation is simple, giving this invention the advantages of easy detection, high detection accuracy, and high detection efficiency.
[0027] In some embodiments, the positioning element 6 includes a positioning head 10 and an inner tube 11, the inner tube 11 being embedded in the positioning head 10, and the measuring hole 8 being formed in the inner tube 11; the inner diameter of the measuring hole 8 is adapted to the diameter of the ceramic needle 7. The inner tube 11 is a ceramic tube, and its inner diameter is precisely matched to the gauge used to make the ceramic needle tube. Specifically, by setting the diameter of the measuring hole 8 to match the outer diameter of the ceramic needle 7, the outer diameter of the ceramic needle 7 can be simultaneously checked for compliance with standards when the ceramic needle 7 is inserted.
[0028] In some embodiments, the measuring instrument 5 is a dial indicator. Specifically, the measuring instrument 5 is a digital dial indicator.
[0029] In some embodiments, the fixed base 1 is provided with a first locking part 12 and a second locking part 13. The first locking part 12 can be locked into the first mounting hole 2, and the second locking part 13 can be locked into the second mounting hole 3. The first locking part 12 includes a first locking hole 15 and a first connecting member. The first locking hole 15 communicates with the upper end of the first mounting hole 2, and the first connecting member is connected to the first locking hole 15. The second locking part 13 includes a second locking hole 17 and a second connecting member. The second locking hole 17 communicates with the upper end of the second mounting hole 3, and the second connecting member is connected to the second locking hole 17. Both the first connecting member and the second connecting member are set screws. Specifically, by locking the first connecting member and the second connecting member into the first mounting hole 2 and the second mounting hole 3 respectively, the positioning member 6 and the measuring tool 5 are locked, thereby ensuring that the measuring position of the measuring tool 5 is on the same axis as the first mounting hole 2 and the second mounting hole 3.
