[0021] 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 (for ease of description and understanding, hereinafter referred to as...). Figure 2 (The above is described above). Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for detecting the flatness of the end face of a thin-walled cylinder, including a detection platform 1, a square tube 2 fixed on the detection platform 1, the square tube 2 vertically penetrating the detection platform 1, a rotating shaft 3 rotatably connected inside the square tube 2 via a bearing, a drive mechanism 4 for controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 3, the drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 41, a drive gear 42 and a driven gear 43, the drive motor 41 is fixed on the lower surface of the detection platform 1, the output shaft of the drive motor 41 is connected to the drive gear 42, the drive gear 42 is meshed with the driven gear 43, the driven gear 43 is fixed on the lower end of the outer side of the rotating shaft 3, the drive motor 41 controls the rotation of the drive gear 42, thereby driving the driven gear 43 and the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, thereby driving the guide wheel 82 to move along the end face of the thin-walled cylinder;

[0023] A slidable support plate 5 is sleeved on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating shaft 3. A lifting mechanism 6 for controlling its up and down movement is provided at the lower end of the support plate 5. The lifting mechanism 6 includes a fixed plate 61 and an electric lifting rod 62. The fixed plate 61 is fixed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 3. There are two electric lifting rods 82. The fixed ends of the two electric lifting rods 82 are symmetrically fixed on the upper end face of the fixed plate 61. The telescopic ends of the electric lifting rods 82 are connected to the lower surface of the support plate 5. The up and down movement of the support plate 5 is controlled by the telescopic movement of the electric lifting rods 82, thereby adjusting the height position of the guide wheel 82 according to the thin-walled cylinder of different lengths.

[0024] The support plate 5 is preferably of a Z-shaped structure. A measuring mechanism 8 is provided on the top of the support plate 5. The measuring mechanism 8 includes a connecting plate 81, a guide wheel 82, a guide wheel frame 83, a sleeve 84, a sliding column 85, and a spring 86. The guide wheel 82 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the guide wheel frame 83. The upper end of the guide wheel frame 83 is fixedly connected to the sliding column 85. The upper end of the sliding column 85 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 84. The sleeve 84 is fixed to the lower surface of the connecting plate 81. The spring 86 is located between the connecting plate 81 and the sliding column 85. A pressure sensor is provided at the connection between the spring 86 and the connecting plate 81. When the guide wheel 82 moves along the end face of the thin-walled cylinder, it will exert pressure on the spring 86 through the sliding column 85. The spring 86 transmits the pressure to the pressure sensor, which will generate a pressure signal. If the end face of the thin-walled cylinder is flat, the pressure signal will not change. If the end face of the thin-walled cylinder has a bulge or a depression, the pressure signal will change. The change in the pressure signal can accurately determine whether the end face of the thin-walled cylinder is flat.

[0025] To facilitate adjustment of the horizontal position of the guide wheel 82 according to the inner diameter of different thin-walled cylinders, and to allow the guide wheel 82 to travel along the end face of the thin-walled cylinder, a horizontal adjustment mechanism 7 is connected to one side of the connecting plate 81.

[0026] The horizontal adjustment mechanism 7 includes a fixing block 71, a screw 72, a locking nut 73, and a mounting block 74. The fixing block 71 is fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 5. The screws 72 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing block 71. Each screw 72 is provided with two locking nuts 73, which are located on both sides of the fixing block 71. One end of the screw 72 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 74, and the mounting block 74 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 81. The screw 72 is moved by loosening the locking nuts 73. When the guide wheel 82 is located on the end face of the thin-walled cylinder, the locking nuts 73 are tightened to fix the horizontal position of the guide wheel 82.

[0027] To ensure the thin-walled cylinder is fixed around the central axis of the rotating shaft 3 and to facilitate the inspection of its end face flatness, four positioning mechanisms 9 for fixing the inner cavity of the thin-walled cylinder are evenly distributed on the outer side of the square tube 2. The positioning mechanism 9 includes an electric telescopic rod 91 and a pressure block 92. The fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 91 is fixed to the outer side of the square tube 2, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 91 is connected to the pressure block 92. The thin-walled cylinder is vertically sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 3. By simultaneously extending and retracting the four electric telescopic rods 91, the same amount of elongation is ensured, thereby fixing the thin-walled cylinder around the central axis of the rotating shaft 3.

[0028] To avoid damage to the inner surface of the thin-walled cylinder, the contact end between the pressure block and the inner surface of the thin-walled cylinder is an arc-shaped structure, and the outer surface of the pressure block is wrapped with rubber.

[0029] To facilitate the operation of this testing device, a reinforcing plate 10 is integrally connected to one side of the testing platform 1. A display 11 and a control switch 12 are installed on the reinforcing plate 10. The output end of the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the input end of the display 11. The pressure sensor transmits the pressure signal to the display 11, and the pressure curve is displayed on the display 11. The output end of the control switch 12 is electrically connected to the input ends of the drive motor 41, the electric lifting rod 62, and the electric telescopic rod 91, respectively.

[0030] In use: First, place the thin-walled cylinder to be tested on the outside of the device. Then, control the four electric telescopic rods 91 to extend synchronously through the control switch 12, so that the pressure block 92 contacts the inner wall of the thin-walled cylinder, thereby positioning the thin-walled cylinder. Then, according to the height of the thin-walled cylinder, control the electric lifting rod 62 to push the support plate 5 to rise and fall, so that the height of the guide wheel 82 is the same as the height of the end face of the thin-walled cylinder to be tested. Then, move the screw 72 to make the guide wheel 82 contact the end face of the thin-walled cylinder. At this time, the pressure signal transmitted by the pressure sensor is the reference signal. The drive motor 41 controls the drive gear 42 and the driven gear 43 to rotate, thereby making the rotating shaft 3 rotate, driving the guide wheel 82 to make a circular motion along the end face of the thin-walled cylinder. Observe the pressure curve on the display 11. If the pressure curve fluctuates, it indicates that the end face is not flat; if the pressure curve remains relatively stable, it indicates that the end face is flat.

[0031] This invention transmits pressure signals through the spring 86 in the measuring mechanism 8, thereby determining the flatness of the thin-walled cylinder end face based on the pressure signals, greatly improving measurement efficiency and accuracy. By setting up a horizontal adjustment mechanism 7 and a lifting mechanism 6, the position of the guide wheel 82 can be adjusted according to the diameter and length of the thin-walled cylinder, expanding the applicability of this device.

Although embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the utility model.
