[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a roughness tester for hardware parts, including a platform 1. A display controller 2 and a roughness detection mechanism are arranged above the platform 1. The display controller 2 displays measurement results, including surface roughness parameter values, profile curves, and other information. Some high-end roughness testers can also be connected to a computer for data processing and graphical display via dedicated software. The roughness detection mechanism detects the surface roughness of the hardware parts. The roughness detection mechanism includes a bracket 3 mounted on the platform 1, with an electric slide groove 4 embedded in the bracket 3. An electric slider 5 is slidably connected to the electric slide groove 4, and a processing box 6 is mounted on the electric slider 5. The processing box 6 contains a sensor and a signal processing system. The sensor is an inductive sensor that converts the displacement of a stylus 8 into an electrical signal through electromagnetic induction. An amplifier in the signal processing system amplifies the weak electrical signal output by the sensor for subsequent processing and analysis, improving signal strength and quality and reducing noise interference. A filter in the signal processing system amplifies the amplified signal. The signal is filtered to remove high-frequency noise and low-frequency interference, retaining the effective signal related to surface roughness. The arithmetic circuit in the signal processing system performs various operations on the filtered signal, such as integration, differentiation, and averaging, to calculate various parameters of surface roughness. The processing box 6 is electrically connected to the display controller 2. A cantilever beam 7 is provided on the processing box 6 to support the stylus 8. The cantilever beam 7 is made of beryllium bronze and has a certain degree of elasticity. When the stylus 8 contacts the surface being measured, the cantilever beam 7 will undergo a slight deformation. This deformation is proportional to the force on the stylus 8. The stylus 8 is provided at the end of the cantilever beam 7. The stylus 8 is made of wear-resistant alloy and contacts the surface of the hardware through the stylus 8 to detect the surface roughness of the hardware. A workpiece displacement mechanism is fixedly provided on the equipment table 1. The workpiece displacement mechanism smoothly pushes the hardware. The workpiece displacement mechanism is provided with a workpiece positioning mechanism to meet the needs of quickly positioning hardware of different diameters, which facilitates the subsequent roughness detection of the hardware.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the workpiece displacement mechanism includes a support plate 9 mounted above the equipment platform 1. A set of slide rails 10 are arranged parallel to each other on the support plate 9. A slide table 11 is mounted on the slide rails 10. A support block 12 is mounted below the surface of the slide table 11. A lead screw 13 is threaded onto the support block 12. A linear motor 14 is mounted on the support plate 9. The output end of the linear motor 14 is connected to the lead screw 13. The linear motor 14 is a type of servo motor that can rotate in both directions. By running the linear motor 14, the lead screw 13 is rotated. At this time, the support block 12 moves on the lead screw 13, causing the slide table 11 to slide smoothly on the slide rails 10, thereby smoothly conveying the hardware parts on the workpiece positioning mechanism.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the workpiece positioning mechanism includes a side frame 15 fixedly mounted on the slide table 11, a support plate 16 fixedly mounted on one side of the side frame 15, a drive turntable 17 mounted in the middle of the support plate 9, multiple sets of positioning components evenly mounted on the support plate 9, and a micro motor 18 mounted on the side frame 15. The output end of the micro motor 18 is connected to the drive turntable 17. Through the structural configuration of the workpiece positioning mechanism, the fast and stable positioning of hardware parts with different pipe diameters can be achieved.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, there are three positioning components, and multiple sets of positioning components are evenly arranged in a ring on the outside of the drive turntable 17, which can stably support and position the hardware.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning component includes a support rail 19 fixedly mounted on the support plate 16, a slide block 20 slidably connected to the support rail 19, a pipe wall support on the slide block 20 by fasteners, and a hinge plate 21 hinged between the drive turntable 17 and the slide block 20 to support and position the hardware of the pipe diameter.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the pipe wall support includes a mounting bracket 22 connected to the slide block 20 by fasteners. An arc-shaped abutment 23 is provided at the end of the mounting bracket 22. The arc-shaped abutment 23 and the mounting bracket 22 are integrally formed. A pad 24 is provided on the outer side of the arc-shaped abutment 23. The surface of the pad 24 is provided with anti-slip texture. Through the structural arrangement of the pipe wall support, the pipe wall of the hardware is supported and the hardware is quickly supported and positioned.
[0033] Working principle: When performing roughness testing on hardware parts to be tested;
[0034] The workpiece positioning mechanism is designed to enable fast and stable positioning of hardware parts with different pipe diameters. By controlling the operation of the micro motor 18, the drive turntable 17 is rotated. At this time, multiple positioning parts operate synchronously. The hinge plate 21 pushes the slide 20, causing the slide 20 to slide on the support rail 19, moving the pipe wall support. This causes the arc-shaped abutment plate 23 at the end of the mounting bracket 22 to expand outward. The pad 24 on the arc-shaped abutment plate 23 abuts against the pipe wall of the hardware part. The surface of the pad 24 is provided with anti-slip texture, which improves the stability of supporting and positioning the hardware part.
[0035] The hardware parts are smoothly conveyed by the structure of the workpiece displacement mechanism. The linear motor 14 rotates the lead screw 13. At this time, the support block 12 moves on the lead screw 13, and the slide table 11 slides smoothly on the slide rail 10, thereby smoothly conveying the hardware parts on the workpiece positioning mechanism.
[0036] The surface roughness of hardware parts is detected by the structure of the roughness detection mechanism. When the stylus 8 contacts the surface being measured, the cantilever beam 7 undergoes a slight deformation. This deformation is proportional to the force on the stylus 8 and transmits an electrical signal to the processing box 6. The inductive sensor inside the box converts the displacement of the stylus 8 into an electrical signal through the principle of electromagnetic induction. The amplifier in the signal processing system amplifies the weak electrical signal output by the sensor. The filter filters the amplified signal to remove high-frequency noise and low-frequency interference signals, retaining the effective signal related to surface roughness. The arithmetic circuit in the signal processing system performs various calculations on the filtered signal.
[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
