Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flat-bottomed spindle oil level measurement technology, specifically to a flat-bottomed spindle oil level measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] A flat-bottomed spindle refers to a textile tool—a spindle—characterized by its flat bottom. Spindles are important auxiliary equipment in the spinning process, used to twist loose fibers into continuous yarn. Unlike other spindles with conical or spherical bottoms, flat-bottomed spindles possess unique advantages due to their special bottom design. Flat-bottomed spindle oil level measurement refers to the process of measuring the lubricating oil level in the spindle. Sufficient lubrication is crucial to ensure the normal operation of the spindle and extend its service life; therefore, regular or real-time monitoring of the oil level in flat-bottomed spindles is particularly important.

[0003] Currently, when measuring oil level in flat-bottomed spindles, most methods still involve inserting a simple measuring scale into the oil groove of the spindle and observing the position of residual lubricating oil on the scale to determine the oil level, thereby obtaining oil quantity data and deciding whether to add oil. However, relying solely on observing the position of residual oil is easily affected by oil surface fluctuations, foam, or impurities, which affects the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results. To solve the above problems, we propose a flat-bottomed spindle oil level measuring device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flat-bottomed spindle oil level measuring device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flat-bottomed spindle oil level measuring device, comprising a connecting plate, a measuring column fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, two arc-shaped clamping blocks slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, a clamping assembly provided at the bottom of the connecting plate for moving the two arc-shaped clamping blocks, a measuring channel opened at the bottom of the measuring column, a through groove opened at the top of the connecting plate communicating with the interior of the measuring channel, a measuring scale slidably connected between the through groove and the inner wall of the measuring channel, a limit block and a float fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the measuring scale respectively, the bottom of the limit block contacting the connecting plate, a locking structure provided at the top of the connecting plate for fixing the limit block, a hand grip fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, and scale lines provided on the outer sides of both the measuring column and the measuring scale.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the clamping assembly includes a clamping groove and a guide groove, both of which are formed at the bottom of the connecting plate. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the clamping groove, and two displacement blocks are threaded to the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw. One side of each of the two displacement blocks is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped clamping blocks.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a guide rod is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the guide groove, and two guide blocks are slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rod. One side of each of the two guide blocks is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped clamping blocks.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a rotating wheel is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate, and one end of the rotating wheel extends into the interior of the clamping groove and is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the locking structure includes a fixing rod, which is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate. A top block is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod, and a pressure block is slidably connected to the outside of the fixing rod. The bottom of the pressure block is fixedly connected to a limiting block.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a slot is provided on the outer side of the pressure block, a locking post is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, the locking post contacts the inner side of the slot, and a pull block is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure block.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a return spring is provided between the pressure block and the top block, and the return spring is located on the outside of the fixing rod.

[0012] This utility model provides a flat-bottomed spindle oil level measuring instrument, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) This utility model uses a measuring column to measure the oil level inside the oil tank of a flat-bottomed spindle for the first time. After the measurement is completed, the locking structure is released and the limiting block is released. Then, the buoyancy of the lubricating oil in the oil tank drives the float to move, thereby pushing the measuring scale to slide between the inner wall of the measuring channel and the through groove. The top of the measuring scale extends to the top of the connecting plate. The oil level information can be read by observing the scale line on the scale to complete the second measurement. Finally, the measuring column is pulled out and the position of the oil trace on the measuring column is observed to obtain the oil level information of the first measurement. The two measurement data are then compared, thereby effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of oil level measurement.

[0014] (2) This utility model uses a clamping assembly to move two arc-shaped clamping blocks at the bottom of the connecting plate, thereby clamping the flat-bottomed spindle and ensuring that the measuring column remains vertical inside the oil tank. This not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of oil level measurement, but also enhances the effectiveness of the measuring device. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, a flat-bottomed spindle oil level measuring device includes a connecting plate 1. A measuring column 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 1. Two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 are slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 1. A clamping assembly is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 1 to drive the two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 to move. A measuring channel 23 is opened at the bottom of the measuring column 2. A through groove 24 is opened at the top of the connecting plate 1. The through groove 24 communicates with the interior of the measuring channel 23. A measuring scale 22 is slidably connected between the through groove 24 and the inner wall of the measuring channel 23. A limit block 7 and a float 21 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the measuring scale 22, respectively. The bottom of the limit block 7 contacts the connecting plate 1. A locking structure is provided at the top of the connecting plate 1 to fix the limit block 7. A hand handle 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 1. Scale lines 3 are provided on the outer sides of both the measuring column 2 and the measuring scale 22.

[0024] When measuring the oil level on a flat-bottomed spindle, the connecting plate 1 is first moved by the hand grip 4, allowing the measuring column 2 to be gradually inserted into the oil groove of the spindle, ensuring close contact between the connecting plate 1 and the spindle. Then, the clamping assembly moves the two arc-shaped clamps 5 at the bottom of the connecting plate 1, bringing them closer together to clamp the spindle. This ensures that the measuring column 2 is vertical inside the oil groove, guaranteeing accurate oil level measurement. After the first measurement, the locking structure is released, releasing the fixation of the limit block 7. Next, the buoyancy of the lubricating oil inside the oil groove of the spindle is used to push the float 21 to move and rise between the inner walls of the measuring channel 23, causing the measuring scale 22 to slide between the inner walls of the detection channel 24 and the through groove, completing the second measurement. The oil level data for the second measurement is obtained by observing the position of the oil stains on the scale line 3 at the top of the connecting plate 1, thus completing the oil level measurement of the flat-bottomed spindle.

[0025] When the oil level measurement of the flat-bottomed spindle is completed, the clamping assembly first moves the two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 at the bottom of the connecting plate 1, so that the two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 gradually move away from each other, releasing the clamping and fixing between the connecting plate 1 and the flat-bottomed spindle. Then, the measuring column 2 is taken out by holding the handle 4, and the position of the oil stain shown by the scale line 3 on the measuring column 2 is observed to obtain the oil level data of the first measurement. Finally, the two oil level measurement data are compared, and the limiting block 7 is fixed again by the locking structure for subsequent use, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.

[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, the clamping assembly includes a clamping groove 15 and a guide groove 17. Both the clamping groove 15 and the guide groove 17 are located at the bottom of the connecting plate 1. A bidirectional lead screw 16 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the clamping groove 15. Two displacement blocks 19 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 16. One side of each displacement block 19 is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5. A guide rod 18 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the guide groove 17. Two guide blocks 20 are slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rod 18. One side of each guide block 20 is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5. A rotating wheel 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate 1. One end of the rotating wheel 6 extends into the interior of the clamping groove 15 and is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 16.

[0027] By rotating the wheel 6, the bidirectional lead screw 16 is driven to rotate between the inner walls of the clamping groove 15, thereby moving the two displacement blocks 19. Then, the movement of the two guide blocks 20 is guided by the guide rod 18 inside the guide groove 17. At the same time, the two displacement blocks 19 and the two guide blocks 20 respectively drive the two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 to move at the bottom of the connecting plate 1, thereby improving the measurement quality of the oil level measuring device.

[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the locking structure includes a fixing rod 11, which is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 1. A top block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod 11. A pressure block 13 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixing rod 11. The bottom of the pressure block 13 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 7. A slot 8 is provided on the outside of the pressure block 13. A locking post 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 1. The locking post 9 contacts the inside of the slot 8. A pull block 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure block 13. A return spring 12 is provided between the pressure block 13 and the top block 14. The return spring 12 is located on the outside of the fixing rod 11.

[0029] By pulling the pull block 10, the pressure block 13 is moved to the outside of the fixed rod 11, and the return spring 12 (made of high carbon steel) is pressed at the bottom of the top block 14. Then, the pressure block 13 is rotated, and the slot 8 is locked to the outside of the locking post 9. At the same time, the reaction force of the return spring 12 completes the limiting of the pressure block 13, thereby releasing the fixation of the limiting block 7.

[0030] When fixing the limiting block 7, by pulling the pull block 10, the pressure block 13 is moved to the outside of the fixing rod 11, and the return spring 12 is pressed at the bottom of the top block 14. At the same time, the slot 8 is moved away from the locking post 9. Then, the pressure block 13 is rotated again, and the pressure block 13 is pushed to the top of the limiting block 7 by the reaction force of the return spring 12, thereby completing the fixing of the limiting block 7 and improving the ease of use of the oil level measuring device.

[0031] This utility model provides an oil level measuring device for a flat-bottomed spindle. The specific working principle is as follows: When measuring the oil level of a flat-bottomed spindle, firstly, the connecting plate 1 is moved by the hand grip 4, causing the measuring column 2 to gradually insert into the oil groove of the flat-bottomed spindle, ensuring close contact between the connecting plate 1 and the flat-bottomed spindle. Then, by rotating the rotating wheel 6, the bidirectional lead screw 16 rotates between the inner walls of the clamping groove 15, thereby moving the two displacement blocks 19. Next, the guide rod 18 inside the guide groove 17 guides the movement of the two guide blocks 20. Simultaneously, the two displacement blocks 19 and the two guide blocks 20 respectively drive the two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 to move at the bottom of the connecting plate 1, causing the two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 to gradually approach each other, achieving clamping of the flat-bottomed spindle, so that the measuring column 2 is vertical inside the oil groove of the flat-bottomed spindle. To ensure accurate oil level measurement, after the first measurement, the pull block 10 is pulled, causing the pressure block 13 to move outside the fixed rod 11 and press the return spring 12 at the bottom of the top block 14. Then, the pressure block 13 is rotated, and the slot 8 is locked outside the locking post 9. At the same time, the reaction force of the return spring 12 completes the limit of the pressure block 13, thereby releasing the fixation of the limit block 7. Then, the buoyancy of the lubricating oil inside the flat-bottomed spindle oil groove is used to push the float 21 to move and rise between the inner walls of the measuring channel 23, causing the measuring scale 22 to slide between the inner walls of the detection channel 24 and the through groove to complete the second measurement. The oil level data of the second measurement is obtained by observing the position of the oil trace on the top scale line 3 of the connecting plate 1, thus completing the oil level measurement of the flat-bottomed spindle.

[0032] When the oil level measurement of the flat-bottomed spindle is completed, firstly, by rotating the rotating wheel 6, the bidirectional lead screw 16 is driven to rotate again between the inner walls of the clamping groove 15, thereby moving the two displacement blocks 19. Next, the guide rod 18 inside the guide groove 17 guides the movement of the two guide blocks 20. Simultaneously, the two displacement blocks 19 and the two guide blocks 20 respectively drive the two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 to move again at the bottom of the connecting plate 1, causing the two arc-shaped clamping blocks 5 to gradually move away, releasing the clamping fixation between the connecting plate 1 and the flat-bottomed spindle. Then, the measuring column 2 is removed by holding the handle 4 and observed. The oil level data for the first measurement is obtained by measuring the position of the oil stains shown by the scale line 3 on the measuring column 2. Finally, the two oil level measurement data are compared. Then, by pulling the pull block 10 again, the pressure block 13 is moved to the outside of the fixed rod 11, and the return spring 12 is pressed at the bottom of the top block 14. At the same time, the slot 8 is moved away from the locking column 9. Then, the pressure block 13 is rotated again, and the pressure block 13 is pushed to the top of the limit block 7 by the reaction force of the return spring 12. This completes the fixation of the limit block 7 for subsequent use, thus completing the use of the flat-bottomed spindle oil level measuring device.
