Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field, specifically relating to a tooling and measuring equipment for measuring the flatness of die-casting end plates. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of die-cast end plates, it is necessary to conduct 100% flatness inspection of the product according to the product drawings.

[0003] Currently, there are two common methods for inspecting the flatness of die-cast end plates: one is to use a 2.5D coordinate measuring machine or a three-coordinate measuring machine for measurement; the other is to place the die-cast end plate on a marble surface and manually inspect it with a feeler gauge.

[0004] However, using Method 1 to measure the flatness of die-cast end plates cannot achieve 100% accuracy; it can only perform sampling and will consume a large amount of measurement equipment resources. Using Method 2 to measure the flatness of die-cast end plates relies entirely on human measurement and subjective judgment, which may lead to misjudgment due to human fatigue from long hours of work. In addition, the manual inspection time for the flatness of each die-cast end plate is about 12 seconds, which is time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0045] This application provides a fixture and measuring device for measuring the flatness of die-cast end plates, which will be described in detail below.

Furthermore, in the following embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis; parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0046] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the die-casting end plate flatness measuring fixture includes: a mounting base 21 with a base plate 22 at its upper end; a guide baffle 23 and a limiting baffle 24 arranged perpendicularly to each other and disposed on the base plate 22; a clamping device 25 disposed on the mounting base 21 for clamping the product to be tested 100 onto the base plate 22; and a plurality of contact displacement sensors 26 inserted through the base plate 22 for collecting Z-axis coordinate data of the corresponding positions of the product to be tested 100.

[0047] In this embodiment, the guide baffle 23 and the limiting baffle 24 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, which can position the product under test 100 placed on the base plate 22, that is, the two sides of the product under test 100 can be pressed against the guide baffle 23 and the limiting baffle 24 respectively; after the product under test 100 is placed in place, the pressing device 25 can press the product under test 100 onto the base plate 22; finally, the Z-axis coordinate data of the product under test 100 at the corresponding position is collected by the contact displacement sensor 26, thereby obtaining its flatness.

[0048] Furthermore, to detect whether the product under test 100 is placed in the correct position, proximity sensors 27 are provided at the connected ends of the guide baffle 23 and the limiting baffle 24. For example, if the product under test 100 is placed in the correct position, the indicator lights on both proximity sensors 27 will light up; if the indicator lights do not light up, it indicates that the product is not placed in the correct position.

[0049] See Figure 3 Optionally, the clamping device 25 includes: a mounting block 251 fixed on the side wall of the mounting base 21; a cylinder 252 fixed on the mounting block 251; and a pressure plate 253, one end of which is fixed to the end of the output rod of the cylinder 252, and the other end is provided with a lower pressure block 254.

Then, a fastener is screwed into the locking hole 2223, thereby tightening the blocks on both sides of the notch 2222 to fix the contact displacement sensor 26 in the mounting hole 2221. Then, the upper end of the contact displacement sensor 26 is inserted into the through hole 221, and a fastener is passed through the fixing hole 2224 and screwed into the corresponding fixing hole on the base plate 22, thereby fixing the fixing block 222 on the bottom surface of the base plate 22, thus completing the installation of the contact displacement sensor 26.

[0054] In this embodiment, the number and position of the contact displacement sensors 26 can be adjusted as needed. The detachable mounting method of the fixing block 222 also facilitates the adjustment of the model and length of the contact displacement sensors 26.

[0058] Furthermore, the die-casting end plate flatness measuring device also includes: a control module and a control switch 3; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 The control switch 3, the clamping device 25, the contact displacement sensor 26, and the proximity sensor 27 on the guide baffle 23 and the limit baffle 24 are all electrically connected to the control module. The control module is used to control the clamping device 25 to clamp the product when the control switch 3 is closed, and to collect the Z-axis coordinate data of the corresponding position of the product under test 100 through the contact displacement sensor 26.

[0059] Furthermore, the panel 11 is also equipped with a three-color sound and light alarm 4 electrically connected to the control module; the control module is used to control the three-color sound and light alarm 4 to perform sound and light alarm when the flatness of the product is not up to standard.

Furthermore, calculating flatness using Z-axis coordinate data from multiple products and multiple locations is existing technology in this field, and those skilled in the art can select it as needed. For example, if the difference between the highest and lowest values ​​is within a preset range, then the flatness requirement is met.

[0064] The following is an example of the measurement process of a die-cast end plate flatness measuring device:

[0065] 1) Powering on: Turn on the main power switch 6, connect the gas supply 7, and simultaneously power on the all-in-one computer;

[0067] 3) Zeroing: Place the standard block on the base plate 22 of the positioning fixture along the guide baffle 23, and limit the standard block by the limit baffle 24. At the same time, the indicator lights of the two proximity sensors 27 are lit, indicating that the standard block has been correctly placed in the die-casting end plate flatness measuring fixture 2. Press the control switch 3, the cylinder 252 presses the standard block, and the 11 contact displacement sensors 26 start to test the Z-axis coordinate data of the standard block. At the same time, the flatness measurement value of the standard block is displayed on the all-in-one computer as the measurement reference.

[0068] 4) Die-casting end plate flatness measurement: Remove the standard block, place the product (die-casting end plate) 100 onto the base plate 22 of the positioning fixture along the guide baffle 23, and limit the standard block through the limiting baffle 24.

Press the control switch 3, the cylinder 252 presses the standard block, and the 11 contact displacement sensors 26 begin to test the Z-axis coordinate data of the product. The flatness measurement value of the product is displayed on the integrated computer. Then the cylinder 252 releases the product. If the flatness measurement value is within the threshold range, the flatness measurement value of the product is displayed on the integrated computer, and the three-color audible and visual alarm lights up green. If the flatness measurement value exceeds the threshold range, the flatness measurement value of the product is displayed on the integrated computer, and the three-color audible and visual alarm lights up red and sounds an alarm.

[0069] 5) Material Change: Remove the product whose flatness has been measured. Place the qualified products in the designated qualified area and the unqualified products in the unqualified area. Then place the next product to be assembled and repeat step 4) above, and so on.
