[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of an online air gap measuring device for a linear motor, comprising a base 1, a detection box 3 at the top of the base 1, an installation frame 18 inside the detection box 3, laser sensors 12 on the left and right sides of the installation frame 18 respectively, and dehumidification structures for dehumidifying the inside of the detection box 3 on the left and right sides inside the detection box 3.

[0026] The dehumidification structure includes a moisture-absorbing granular bag 9 and a through hole 10. A placement rack 8 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the detection box 3. A weight sensor 17 is installed at the bottom inside the placement rack 8. A moisture-absorbing granular bag 9 is set at the top of the weight sensor 17. A through hole 10 is opened on the outer wall of the placement rack 8. An alarm 11 is installed at the top of the left side inside the detection box 3.

[0027] The moisture-absorbing granule bag 9 is placed inside the placement rack 8. There are two sets of moisture-absorbing granule bags 9. Shock absorbers 4 are installed at the front and rear ends between the base 1 and the detection box 3, and buffer pads 2 are installed between the base 1 and the detection box 3.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the moisture-absorbing granule bag 9 can absorb moisture inside the base 1 through the through hole 10. After absorbing moisture, the moisture-absorbing granules will turn into water, and the weight of the moisture-absorbing granule bag 9 will increase. The weight sensor 17 at the bottom of the moisture-absorbing granule bag 9 can sense the change in the moisture-absorbing granule bag 9. When the moisture-absorbing granule bag 9 reaches a certain weight, the alarm 11 will sound an alarm to remind the staff to replace the moisture-absorbing granule bag 9 in time. Absorbing moisture inside the detection box 3 can prevent moisture from affecting the service life of the measuring components.

[0029] Mounting holes 6 are provided at the four corners inside the base 1. Mounting bolts 5 are installed inside the mounting holes 6. Spring washers 7 are installed at the top of the mounting bolts 5. The spring washers 7 are located at the four corners of the top of the base 1. The mounting holes 6 are symmetrically distributed about the vertical center line of the base 1. The top of the detection box 3 is provided with a cover plate 14. A hinge block is fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom of the cover plate 14. The front and rear ends of the top right side of the detection box 3 are fixedly connected with connecting plates 15. A servo motor 16 is installed at the front end of the connecting plate 15. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 16. The hinge block is installed outside the rotating shaft.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the buffer pad 2 and the shock absorber 4 can buffer the test box 3. When the device needs to be installed in a suitable position, align the mounting hole 6 inside the base 1 with the mounting hole 6 at the installation location. After alignment, screw the mounting bolt 5 into the inside of the mounting hole 6 to limit and fix the base 1, preventing the base 1 from moving accidentally and affecting the accuracy of the measurement. The spring washer 7 at the top of the mounting bolt 5 can prevent the mounting bolt 5 from accidentally coming out of the inside of the mounting hole 6.

[0031] The left and right ends of the mounting bracket 18 are movably connected with threaded rods 22. The top of the threaded rods 22 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 13. The outer side wall of the rotating plate 13 is provided with a limiting groove 20. The threaded rods 22 are provided with a threaded sleeve 24. The side of the threaded sleeve 24 closest to the outside is fixedly connected to a support plate 19. The laser sensor 12 is located at the top of the support plate 19. The left and right sides of the top of the mounting bracket 18 are provided with limiting grooves 23. The limiting grooves 23 are movably provided with limiting rods 21. The threaded sleeve 24 and the threaded rods 22 cooperate with each other. The limiting grooves 20 are provided in multiple sets. The limiting grooves 20 are evenly distributed on the outer side wall of the rotating plate 13. The limiting rods 21 are locked inside the limiting grooves 20.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the height of the laser sensor 12 needs to be adjusted, push the limiting rod 21 to disengage it from the inside of the limiting slot 20. Then rotate the rotating plate 13. When the rotating plate 13 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate, the threaded sleeve 24 drives the support plate 19 and the laser sensor 12 to rise and fall. The rise and fall of the laser sensor 12 can adjust the height of the laser sensor 12 as needed. After adjustment, push the limiting rod 21 back into the inside of the limiting slot 20 to limit and fix the rotating plate 13.

[0033] Working principle: In use, the buffer pad 2 and shock absorber 4 cushion the detection box 3. When installing the device in a suitable position, align the mounting hole 6 inside the base 1 with the mounting hole 6 at the installation location. After alignment, screw the mounting bolt 5 into the mounting hole 6 to limit and fix the base 1, preventing accidental movement of the base 1 and affecting measurement accuracy. The spring washer 7 at the top of the mounting bolt 5 prevents the mounting bolt 5 from accidentally dislodging from the mounting hole 6. When adjusting the height of the laser sensor 12, push the limit rod 21 to dislodge it from the limit slot 20. Then rotate the rotating plate 13. The rotating plate 13 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate, and the threaded sleeve 24 drives the support plate 19 and the laser sensor 12 to rise and fall. The height of the laser sensor 12 can be adjusted as needed. After adjustment, re-align the limit rod 21. The rod 21 is pushed into the inner limit slot 20 to limit and fix the rotating plate 13. The laser sensor 12 measures the gap between the linear motor and the induction plate and transmits the data of each train to the server, so that the inspection personnel can intuitively and accurately observe the air gap distance. When the distance exceeds the specified range, the air gap detection device will generate an alarm to remind the maintenance personnel to adjust the distance. The moisture-absorbing particle bag 9 can absorb the moisture inside the base 1 through the through hole 10. After the moisture-absorbing particle bag 9 absorbs the moisture, the moisture-absorbing particles will turn into water, and the weight of the moisture-absorbing particle bag 9 will increase. The weight sensor 17 at the bottom of the moisture-absorbing particle bag 9 can sense the change of the moisture-absorbing particle bag 9. When the moisture-absorbing particle bag 9 reaches a certain weight, the alarm 11 will sound an alarm to remind the staff to replace the moisture-absorbing particle bag 9 in time. Absorbing the moisture inside the detection box 3 can prevent the moisture from affecting the service life of the measuring components.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
