Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a storage and calibration device, specifically an intelligent storage and calibration device for standard gauge blocks, belonging to the technical field of storage and calibration devices for standard gauge blocks. Background Technology
[0002] A standard gauge block is a non-gradient standard end face measuring tool. It is made of special alloy steel and has a cuboid shape. Among its six planes, there are two extremely smooth and flat measuring surfaces that are parallel to each other. There is a precise working dimension between the two measuring surfaces. Gauge blocks are mainly used as intermediate standard measuring tools in dimensional transfer systems, or as standard parts to adjust the zero position of instruments in relative method measurement. They can also be used to directly measure parts.
[0003] The existing standard gauge blocks are directly stacked and stored in the storage cabinet. When the standard gauge block needs to be retrieved, it must be retrieved manually one by one. It cannot be retrieved automatically. When the standard gauge block needs to be calibrated, it must be calibrated manually using high-precision measuring instruments. Therefore, the storage and calibration of the standard gauge block are quite troublesome, which makes the use of the standard gauge block inconvenient.
[0004] Therefore, a standard gauge block intelligent storage and calibration device is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a standard gauge block intelligent storage and calibration device, including a storage cabinet, wherein an intelligent storage mechanism is provided on the front and inside of the storage cabinet;
[0007] The intelligent storage mechanism includes a PLC controller. The back of the PLC controller is fixedly connected to the front of the storage cabinet. The inner wall of the storage cabinet is fixedly connected with equidistantly arranged push-telescopic rods. Each push-telescopic rod is connected to the PLC controller via a wire. The telescopic end of each push-telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a push plate. The inner wall of the storage cabinet is fixedly connected with two sets of fixing strips. The upper surface of each set of fixing strips is fixedly connected to a shelf. The outer surface of each shelf is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage cabinet. The bottom surfaces of several push plates are in contact with the upper surfaces of several shelves. The upper surface of each shelf is fixedly connected with two sets of partition plates. The front and back surfaces of several push plates are in contact with the adjacent sides of the two sets of partition plates.
[0008] The storage cabinet is equipped with a calibration component, and a temperature and humidity control component is located below the calibration component.
[0009] The calibration assembly includes two horizontal laser rangefinders, with their opposite sides fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage cabinet. A vertical laser rangefinder is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the storage cabinet. Each horizontal and vertical laser rangefinder is connected to a PLC controller via wires. A measuring frame is fixedly connected to the left side of each shelf, and a blocking frame is fixedly connected to the left side of each measuring frame.
[0010] The temperature and humidity control component includes an air conditioner, the left side of which is fixedly connected to the right side of the storage cabinet. A ventilation box is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the storage cabinet. The ventilation box is connected to the air conditioner. The upper surface of the ventilation box has equidistantly arranged connecting slots.
[0011] Temperature and humidity sensors are arranged at equal intervals above the ventilation box. The right side of each temperature and humidity sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage cabinet. Each temperature and humidity sensor is connected to the air conditioner via a PLC controller.
[0012] The storage cabinet has two hinged doors on its left side, and each door has a fixed handle on its left side.
[0013] The bottom surface of the air conditioner and the bottom surface of the storage cabinet are both fixedly connected to two sets of support legs, and the bottom end of each set of support legs is fixedly connected to a support base plate.
[0014] This invention provides an intelligent storage and calibration device for standard gauge blocks, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This intelligent storage and calibration device for standard gauge blocks allows manual operation of a PLC controller to control the corresponding push-telescopic rods. By using fixed strips to fix multiple storage racks, the push-telescopic rods can be used to drive the push plate to push the standard gauge blocks on the corresponding storage racks until the appropriate standard gauge blocks between the two partitions on the storage racks are pushed to the required positions. This facilitates the retrieval and placement of the required standard gauge blocks in the storage cabinet, improving the ease of use of the standard gauge blocks.
[0016] This intelligent storage and calibration device for standard gauge blocks utilizes two horizontal and vertical laser rangefinders fixed to the inner wall of the storage cabinet. By pushing the required standard gauge block onto the measuring frame via a telescopic rod, and with the support of a blocking frame, the device automatically measures and calibrates the dimensions of the standard gauge block using the horizontal and vertical laser rangefinders, eliminating the need for manual calibration and further improving the ease of use of the standard gauge block.

The blocking rack 304 is used to make the standard gauge block stably stuck on the measuring rack 303, so that the size of the standard gauge block can be accurately measured by the laser rangefinder.
[0032] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The temperature and humidity control component 4 includes an air conditioner 401. The air conditioner 401 is a device that uses artificial means to adjust and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and airflow rate of the ambient air inside a building or structure.

The bottom end of each set of support legs 7 is fixedly connected to a support base plate 8. The two sets of support legs 7 and the support base plate 8 form a stable support structure, which can stably support the device.
[0034] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3A temperature and humidity sensor 404 is arranged at equal intervals above the ventilation box 402. The temperature and humidity sensor 404 is a sensor that can detect the temperature and humidity in the surrounding air. The model of the temperature and humidity sensor 404 is DHT11.

The PLC controller 201 automatically controls the air conditioner 401 to improve the storage environment of the standard block storage in the storage cabinet 1.
[0035] When using this utility model: First, connect the PLC controller 201, the push telescopic rod 202, the horizontal laser rangefinder 301, the vertical laser rangefinder 302, the air conditioner 401, and the temperature and humidity sensor 404 to the power supply. When it is necessary to use this storage and calibration device to intelligently store and calibrate standard gauge blocks, first manually place the device on a horizontal ground. The support structure composed of two sets of support legs 7 and support base plate 8 can stably support the device in the required position to automatically store and calibrate standard gauge blocks.
[0036] Next, standard gauge blocks of different sizes are manually placed into the space between the two partitions 206 on the storage rack 205. The corresponding position of each space is set with a corresponding push rod 202, so the push rod 202 can be controlled by the PLC controller 201 to push the standard gauge blocks of the corresponding size. When storing standard gauge blocks using this device, the temperature and humidity of the air in the storage cabinet 1 are detected by the temperature and humidity sensor 404. When the temperature and humidity of the air in the storage cabinet 1 are detected to be significantly different from the standard values, the air conditioner 401 is controlled by the PLC controller 201 to adjust the temperature and humidity of the air in the storage cabinet 1 through the connecting slot 403 opened on the ventilation box 402.
[0037] When a standard gauge block of the corresponding size is needed, the corresponding push telescopic rod 202 is controlled by the PLC controller 201. The push plate 203 slides between the two partition plates 206 on the corresponding storage rack 205, which facilitates pushing the standard gauge block onto the measuring rack 303. Under the obstruction of the blocking rack 304, the standard gauge block is stably placed inside the measuring rack 303. The horizontal laser rangefinder 301 and the vertical laser rangefinder 302, which are fixed in the corresponding positions in the storage cabinet 1, can automatically measure and calibrate the pushed standard gauge block. This makes it convenient to take out, place and calibrate the required standard gauge block in the storage cabinet 1, thus improving the ease of use of the standard gauge block.
