Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thickness measuring device technology, and in particular to aluminum plate thickness measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] After the sheet material undergoes multiple pressing processes, its thickness needs to be measured to determine whether it meets the required standards.

[0003] Thickness measuring devices typically consist of a main body, a conveying mechanism housed within the main body, and sensors also housed within the main body. Because the sensors are located inside the main body, the operating space is limited, making sensor installation, maintenance, and replacement inconvenient.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model discloses an aluminum plate thickness measuring device to solve the problems of limited operating space for sensors within the thickness measuring device, making installation, maintenance, and replacement inconvenient.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An aluminum plate thickness measuring device includes: a body with a horizontally opened channel inside the body; a conveying mechanism disposed within the channel; the conveying mechanism being configured to guide the plate material horizontally through the channel; symmetrical grooves opened at the upper and lower ends of the channel; and limiting blocks disposed on one end of each groove near the channel; a plug inserted into the groove and positioned between the top of the groove and the limiting blocks; and a sensor passing through and fixed to the plug, with the sensor's detection end protruding from the lower end of the plug and positioned between the two limiting blocks.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the plug-in includes two vertical plates and a horizontal plate vertically connected between the two vertical plates, and the sensor passes through and is fixed on the horizontal plate.

[0009] A further technical solution is to provide a waist-shaped hole along the length of the horizontal plate.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the sensor is provided with a thread on the outside, and two nuts are screwed into the thread, with the positions of the two nuts corresponding to the upper and lower ends of the horizontal plate, respectively.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the conveying mechanism includes pressure rollers, which are rotatably disposed within the machine body; the pressure rollers are arranged in several groups, which are spaced apart along the length of the channel, each group of pressure rollers has two rollers, which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the channel, and a portion of the pressure rollers protrudes into the channel.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the position of the groove corresponds to the space between two adjacent sets of pressure rollers.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the aluminum plate thickness measuring device also includes a cover plate, which is screwed to the front end of the machine body and covers the opening at the front end of the groove.

[0014] A further technical solution is to provide a lever at the lower end of the vertical plate near the front end of the machine body.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows:

[0016] (I) The aluminum plate thickness measuring device of this utility model has symmetrical grooves at both ends of the channel. Limiting blocks are set on both sides of the grooves near one end of the channel. A plug-in with a sensor is inserted into the groove, and the limiting blocks are locked between the groove and the limiting blocks. When the plate is conveyed by the conveying mechanism, it passes through two opposing sensors and is subjected to laser ranging, thus achieving the thickness measurement function. Since the plug-in can be pulled out of the groove along with the sensor, it facilitates the installation, maintenance, and replacement of the sensor.

[0017] (ii) Furthermore, the aluminum plate thickness measuring device also includes a cover plate. The cover plate is screwed to the front end of the machine body. The cover plate covers the opening at the front end of the groove, which facilitates disassembly and assembly while preventing the plug from sliding out of the groove, thus ensuring the stability of the plug in the front-back direction.

[0025] Example:

[0026] This embodiment discloses an aluminum plate thickness measuring device.

[0027] The aluminum plate thickness measuring device includes a body 1, a plug 2, and a sensor 3.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a transverse channel 11 is opened inside the machine body 1, and a conveying mechanism is arranged inside the channel 11. The conveying mechanism is configured to guide the plate material to pass through the channel 11 horizontally. Grooves 14 are symmetrically opened at the upper and lower ends of the channel 11, and limiting blocks 15 are arranged at one end of the grooves 14 near the channel 11. Exemplarily, the conveying mechanism includes pressure rollers 12, which are rotatably arranged inside the machine body 1. Specifically, bearing seats 13 are arranged at the front end and inside of the machine body 1, and the two ends of the pressure rollers 12 pass through the bearing seats 13 respectively. In other embodiments of this utility model, at least one set of pressure rollers is connected to a motor, which is fixed to the machine body. The output end of the motor drives the pressure rollers to rotate, actively moving the plate material along the length of the channel. There are several sets of pressure rollers 12, which are spaced apart along the length of the channel 11. Each set of pressure rollers 12 has two rollers, which are symmetrically arranged vertically with respect to the axis of the channel 11, and a portion of the pressure rollers 12 protrudes inside the channel 11. Preferably, the groove 14 is positioned between two adjacent sets of pressure rollers 12 to ensure that the front and rear ends of the plate are flush and do not warp when passing through the channel 11, thus ensuring detection accuracy.

[0029] Since the two plug-ins 2 and the two sensors 3 are symmetrically arranged, the description will be based on the plug-ins 2 and sensors 3 at the top.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the plug 2 is inserted into the groove 14 and is secured between the top of the groove 14 and the limiting block 15. For example, the plug 2 includes two vertical plates 21 and a horizontal plate 22 vertically connected to the lower end between the two vertical plates 21. The limiting block 15 can be integrally formed with the inner wall of the groove 14 or connected to the inner wall of the groove 14 with screws; it only needs to cooperate with the groove 14 to restrict the up-and-down movement of the plug 2. There is a gap between two adjacent limiting blocks 15 for the sensor 3 and its emitted laser to pass through.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, sensor 3 passes through and is fixed to plug 2. The detection end of sensor 3 protrudes from the lower end of plug 2 and is positioned between the two limiting blocks 15. For example, the sensor is a Keyence laser displacement sensor. Sensor 3 passes through horizontal plate 22. A thread 31 is provided on the outer side of sensor 3, and two nuts 32 are screwed into the thread 31. The positions of the two nuts 32 correspond to the upper and lower ends of horizontal plate 22, respectively, fixing sensor 3 to horizontal plate 22. By adjusting the positions of the two nuts 32 relative to sensor 3, the height of the detection end of sensor 3 can be adjusted to meet the detection requirements of plates of different thicknesses.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, further, a waist-shaped hole 212 is opened on the horizontal plate 22 along its length direction, and the position of the sensor 3 in the waist-shaped hole 212 is adjusted to meet the detection requirements of different points.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the aluminum plate thickness measuring device further includes a cover plate 16. The cover plate 16 is screwed to the front end of the machine body 1. The cover plate 16 covers the opening at the front end of the groove 14, which facilitates disassembly and assembly while preventing the plug-in 2 from sliding out of the groove 14, thus ensuring the stability of the plug-in 2 in the front-back direction.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, furthermore, a lever 211 is provided at the lower end of the vertical plate 21 near the front end of the machine body 1, so that the operator can pull out the plug 2 by hand.

[0035] In this embodiment, grooves 14 are symmetrically formed at both ends of the channel 11. Limiting blocks 15 are provided on both sides of the grooves 14 near one end of the channel 11. The insert 2, on which the sensor 3 is installed, is inserted into the groove 14, and the limiting blocks 15 are engaged between the groove 14 and the limiting blocks 15. When the sheet material is conveyed by the conveying mechanism, it passes through the two opposing sensors 3 and is subjected to laser ranging, thus achieving the thickness measurement function. Since the insert 2 can be pulled out of the groove 14 along with the sensor 3, it facilitates the installation, maintenance, and replacement of the sensor 3.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
