[0014] Furthermore, the angle between the first support surface and the horizontal plane is 15°.
[0015] Furthermore, the TS value measuring mechanism includes a fixing member and a displacement sensor disposed on the fixing member. The test point of the displacement sensor abuts against the eccentric shaft of the workpiece, and the extension line of the test point passes through the first axis of the workpiece. During the rotation of the workpiece around the first axis, the displacement sensor can be compressed by the eccentric shaft.
[0016] Furthermore, the extension line of the test point of the displacement sensor is perpendicular to the first support surface.
[0017] Furthermore, a measuring element is provided on the carrier, the measuring element includes a measuring surface, the measuring surface is located on one side of the measuring element near the workpiece, the measuring surface and the first support surface are arranged parallel to each other, and an air outlet connected to the air passage is provided on both the measuring element and the first support surface, a pair of diameter measuring heads are respectively arranged in the air outlets of the measuring surface and the first support surface, and the line connecting the measuring points of the two diameter measuring heads passes through the first axis of the workpiece.

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0034] This embodiment provides a multifunctional pneumatic measuring instrument capable of measuring the dimensions of a workpiece 5 using a comparative measurement method. The pneumatic measuring instrument includes an air supply unit, a main unit, and a measuring device. The air supply unit supplies compressed gas and is connected to the main unit. The main unit has a display unit that displays the measurement results for the workpiece 5. The measuring device is connected to the main unit, and the compressed gas is ejected from the air passage 33 of the measuring head 32 via the main unit. The specific structures of the air supply unit and the main unit can be found in existing technology.
[0035] See appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 As shown, the multifunctional pneumatic measuring instrument in this embodiment is used to measure the diameter, coaxiality, and TS value of workpiece 5. Workpiece 5 includes a major shaft 51, an eccentric shaft 53, and a minor shaft 52 connected in sequence. The multifunctional pneumatic measuring instrument can simultaneously measure the diameter of the major shaft 51, the diameter of the minor shaft 52, the coaxiality, and the TS value of the workpiece, thus improving the testing efficiency of workpiece 5.
[0036] The measuring device includes a worktable 1, on which a support mechanism 2 is provided. The support mechanism 2 includes multiple bearing members 21, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the workpiece 5. The bearing members 21 can support the long axis 51 and short axis 52 of the workpiece 5. When the workpiece 5 is supported and measured, it can rotate around the first axis 54 of the workpiece 5.
[0037] See appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the support member 21 is provided with two symmetrically arranged support surfaces, including a first support surface 22 and a second support surface 23. The first support surface 22 and the second support surface 23 form a V-groove 24 with an included angle of 90°. The support surface is provided with a support part 26 made of hard alloy for supporting the workpiece 5.
[0038] In some embodiments, the included angle 25 formed by the first support surface 22 and the horizontal worktable 1 is 10~40°. Compared to the conventional arrangement where the first support surface 22 and the second support surface 23 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction, the included angle between the first support surface 22 and the horizontal worktable 1 is 45°. The first support surface 22 and the second support surface 23 share the pressure of the workpiece 5 equally. This application, by tilting the first support surface 22 and the second support surface 23 as a whole towards the first support surface 22, makes the opening of the V-groove 24 tilt towards the first support surface 22. On the one hand, this makes the first support surface 22 the primary support surface and the reference surface, while the second support surface 23 mainly serves a positioning function. The V-groove 24 provides better support and positioning for the workpiece 5, improving the accuracy of workpiece 5 measurement. On the other hand, the opening of the V-groove 24 tilts towards the first support surface 22, i.e., towards the operator, improving the convenience of operation for the operator.
[0039] Since the first support surface 22 (reference surface) is tilted to one side, in order to ensure that the test point 43 of the displacement sensor is perpendicular to the reference surface, the TS value measuring mechanism 4 is tilted in the same direction as a whole, that is, the TS value measuring value is rotated in the vertical direction as a whole, making the overall structure of the pneumatic measuring instrument compact and reducing the horizontal space occupied by the pneumatic measuring instrument.
[0040] In some embodiments, the included angle 25 formed by the first support surface 22 and the horizontal worktable 1 is 10~20°, preferably 15°. Tests have shown that when the included angle 25 formed by the first support surface 22 and the horizontal worktable 1 is 15°, that is, when the opening of the V-groove 24 is inclined at 30° towards the first support surface 22, the V-groove 24 provides better support and positioning for the workpiece 5, the pneumatic measuring instrument has the highest accuracy in measuring the workpiece 5, and it is also beneficial for operators.
[0041] See appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, a measuring element 3 is provided on the carrier 21. The measuring element 3 includes a measuring surface 31, which is located on the side of the measuring element 3 close to the workpiece 5 and parallel to the first support surface 22. They are located on two sides of the workpiece 5, respectively. Both the measuring element 3 and the first support surface 22 are provided with air outlets connected to the air passage 33. A pair of diameter measuring heads 32 are respectively provided in the air outlets of the measuring surface 31 and the first support surface 22, so that the measuring points of the two diameter measuring heads 32 pass through the center of the workpiece 5. In this way, the diameter of the major axis 51 and the diameter of the minor axis 52 can be measured in conjunction with the pneumatic measuring instrument.
[0042] In some embodiments, the diameter measuring head 32 is a nozzle having a straight nozzle extending along the first axis 54 of the workpiece 5. The line connecting a pair of straight nozzles located on the measuring surface 31 and the first support surface 22 passes through the first axis 54 of the workpiece 5, thereby realizing the measurement of the diameter.
[0043] In some embodiments, a single-sided air nozzle 34 is also provided on the measuring component 3. The single-sided air nozzle 34 is located on one side of the diameter measuring head 32. The single-sided air nozzle 34 also has a straight nozzle extending along the first axis 54 of the workpiece 5. During the rotation of the workpiece 5, the coaxiality can be calculated by the pneumatic measuring instrument by testing the maximum and minimum values of the distance from the single-sided air nozzle 34 to the workpiece 5. By providing a single-sided air nozzle 34 on the measuring component 3, the coaxiality of the workpiece 5 can be measured simultaneously when measuring the radius of the major axis 51 or the minor axis 52, thereby improving testing efficiency.
[0044] In some embodiments, the pneumatic gauge further includes a TS value measuring mechanism 4, which is disposed on one side of the second support surface 23. The TS value measuring mechanism 4 includes a fixing member 41 disposed on the support mechanism 2, and a displacement sensor 42 is disposed on the fixing member 41. The extension line of the test point 43 of the displacement sensor 42 passes through the first axis 54 of the workpiece 5. During the rotation of the workpiece 5, the displacement sensor 42 is compressed to a maximum value by the eccentric shaft 53, and this value is the TS value to be measured.
[0045] In some embodiments, the extension line of the test point 43 of the displacement sensor 42 is perpendicular to the first support surface 22 (reference surface). The TS value measuring mechanism 4 measures the TS value of the workpiece 5 most accurately when the extension line of the test point 43 of the displacement sensor 42 passes through the first axis 54 of the workpiece 5 and is perpendicular to the reference surface.

All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0047] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
[0048] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
