Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline measurement technology, specifically a pipeline inner diameter measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] A pipeline is a device consisting of pipes, pipe fittings, and valves used to transport gases, liquids, or fluids containing solid particles. Typically, fluids are pressurized by blowers, compressors, pumps, and boilers, flowing from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas within the pipeline. Alternatively, the fluid's own pressure or gravity can be used for transport. Pipelines have a wide range of applications, primarily in water supply, drainage, heating, gas supply, long-distance transport of oil and natural gas, agricultural irrigation, hydraulic engineering, and various industrial installations. When using pipelines, it is necessary to measure their inner diameter for proper connection and installation. Currently, inspectors typically use a measuring tape to measure the inner diameter of pipes. However, this method is prone to inaccuracies and can introduce deviations, significantly affecting the measurement's accuracy. Utility Model Content

A scale line 9 is fixedly set on one side of the vertical rod 1. A pointer 13 is fixedly installed on one end of each of the two sliding plates 8. The horizontal rod 2 can be inserted into the pipe to be measured. The first slider 6 and the second slider 14 are driven to slide towards each other by the double-acting screw 3. The sliding of the first slider 6 and the second slider 14 towards each other drives the two measuring plates 7 to move synchronously in opposite directions through the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 until the measuring plate 7 contacts the inner wall of the pipe. The measuring plate 7 drives the corresponding sliding plate 8 to move synchronously. The sliding plate 8 drives the pointer 13 to move to the corresponding scale line 9, so that the inner diameter of the pipe can be accurately measured.

[0017] Two symmetrically distributed first sliding grooves 101 are provided inside the vertical rod 1, and the sliding plate 8 is slidably installed in the corresponding first sliding groove 101. A fixing rod 11 is fixedly installed in each of the two first sliding grooves 101, and the fixing rod 11 is inserted through the corresponding sliding plate 8. A spring 12 is sleeved on each of the two fixing rods 11, and one end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding plate 8, so that the sliding plate 8 moves along the fixing rod 11 in the first sliding groove 101 in the vertical rod 1. The spring 12 can drive the measuring plate 7 to always be in contact with the hinge point of the corresponding first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 through the sliding plate 8.

[0018] The crossbar 2 has a second sliding groove 201, and the first slider 6, the second slider 14, and the bidirectional lead screw 3 are all installed in the second sliding groove 201. Guide grooves 202 are provided on both sides of the second sliding groove 201. Fixing blocks 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the first slider 6 and the second slider 14, and the fixing blocks 15 are slidably locked in the corresponding guide grooves 202.

The double-acting screw 3 drives the first slider 6 and the second slider 14 to slide towards each other in the second groove 201 of the crossbar 2. The sliding of the first slider 6 and the second slider 14 towards each other drives the two measuring plates 7 to move synchronously in opposite directions through the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 until the measuring plates 7 contact the inner wall of the pipe. The measuring plates 7 drive the corresponding sliding plates 8 to move synchronously along the fixed rod 11 in the first groove 101 of the vertical rod 1 and compress the spring 12. The spring 12 can drive the measuring plates 7 to always contact the hinge point of the corresponding first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 through the sliding plates 8.
