Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thickness gauge technology, specifically a support structure for a thickness gauge. Background Technology
[0002] A thickness gauge is an instrument used to measure the thickness of materials and objects. In industrial production, it is often used to continuously or sample the thickness of products. To facilitate continuous measurement, the thickness gauge is mounted on a support structure.
[0003] According to CN217980254U, a support device for a coating thickness gauge includes a first stable base plate and a second stable base plate. Both the first and second stable base plates are hollow structures, each containing a liquid storage chamber. An mounting plate is installed on both plates via fixed columns. A support rod, also hollow, is mounted on the mounting plate. A telescopic rod that can move up and down within the support rod is installed inside. A pushing component is fixed to the support rod to facilitate its movement. A thickness gauge holder is fixed to the support rod, and a clamping plate is fixed to the inner wall of the holder for securing the thickness gauge. This invention provides stable placement of the thickness gauge when measuring coating thickness, allowing for accurate measurement by manually holding the probe. The support device is easy to assemble and disassemble, facilitating convenient storage and improving its usability.
[0004] The thickness gauge can be placed and supported by the aforementioned thickness gauge placement frame and snap-fit plate. However, the fixed size of the slot inside the thickness gauge placement frame means that the placement frame can only be installed with thickness gauges of the corresponding size, which narrows the applicability of the device.

[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 to 5 As shown in this embodiment, a support structure for a thickness gauge includes a base 1. Two guide rods 2 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the top of the base 1. A sliding sleeve 3 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 2. A connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the sliding sleeve 3. An open-type mounting seat 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 4 away from the sliding sleeve 3. A fixing screw 6 is provided on one side of the mounting seat 5. A handle 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing screw 6. A nut 8 is threadedly connected to the side of the fixing screw 6 away from the handle 7. The nut 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting seat 5.
[0024] Place the thickness gauge on the mounting base 5, rotate the handle 7 to make the fixing screw 6 rotate inside the mounting base 5 and nut 8 and move towards the nut 8. At the same time, the handle 7 presses against one side of the mounting base 5, so that the opening of the mounting base 5 gradually becomes smaller and the position of the thickness gauge is fixed, so as to realize the installation and support of the thickness gauge. Since the mounting base 5 adopts an open design and is made of high-density polyethylene, the mounting base 5 has a certain deformation capacity, which facilitates the installation of thickness gauges of different sizes.
[0025] Connecting brackets 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting base 5. Connecting springs 10 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the connecting brackets 9 closest to the mounting base 5. A positioning plate 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting spring 10 away from the connecting bracket 9.
[0026] A guide post 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the connecting frame 9 near the positioning plate 11. A guide sleeve 13 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide post 12. The guide sleeve 13 and the positioning plate 11 are fixedly connected.
[0027] Pull the positioning plates 11 to both sides, and the guide post 12 slides inside the guide sleeve 13. The connecting spring 10 is squeezed and contracted, so that the thickness gauge is between the two positioning plates 11. After releasing, the positioning plates 11 and the thickness gauge come into contact under the elastic force of the connecting spring 10, thereby limiting the two sides of the dial of the thickness gauge to improve the stability after installation.
[0028] An adjusting screw 14 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 1 near the guide rod 2. A handle 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the adjusting screw 14. A limit ring 16 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the adjusting screw 14. A limit plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting screw 14. A threaded sleeve 18 is threadedly connected to the surface of the adjusting screw 14. The threaded sleeve 18 and the sliding sleeve 3 are fixedly connected.
[0029] Rotate handle 15, and the adjusting screw 14 rotates inside the base 1. The adjusting screw 14 and the base 1 are kept connected by the limiting ring 16. While the adjusting screw 14 is rotating, the screw sleeve 18 rotates on its surface and drives the sliding sleeve 3 to slide on the surface of the guide rod 2, thereby adjusting the height of the mounting base 5 to facilitate the installation of the object to be measured and the measurement of its thickness.
[0030] The base 1 has four fixed legs 19 at its bottom corners, and friction pads 20 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the legs 19.
[0031] A support seat 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a plurality of friction protrusions 22 are fixedly connected to the top of the support seat 21.
[0032] Two through slots 23 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the interior of the base 1. A bidirectional lead screw 24 is rotatably connected inside one through slot 23. A turntable 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 24. A stabilizing rod 26 is fixedly connected inside the through slot 23 on the side away from the bidirectional lead screw 24. Fixed clamping plates 27 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the surface of the stabilizing rod 26. The fixed clamping plates 27 and the bidirectional lead screw 24 are threadedly connected. A friction plate 28 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed clamping plate 27 near the support base 21.
[0033] Rotating the turntable 25 causes the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, and the two fixed clamps 27 slide on the surface of the stabilizer 26 and move closer to each other, thereby fixing the position of the object to be measured and avoiding movement during the measurement process, which could lead to inaccurate measurement results.
[0034] This utility model provides a support structure for a thickness gauge, and its working principle is as follows:
[0035] In use, rotate handle 15, and the adjusting screw 14 rotates inside the base 1. The limiting ring 16 keeps the adjusting screw 14 connected to the base 1. While the adjusting screw 14 rotates, the screw sleeve 18 rotates on its surface, causing the sliding sleeve 3 to slide on the surface of the guide rod 2, thereby adjusting the height of the mounting base 5. Once the height is appropriate, place the thickness gauge on the mounting base 5 and pull the positioning plates 11 to both sides. The guide post 12 slides inside the guide sleeve 13, and the connecting spring 10 is compressed, positioning the thickness gauge between the two positioning plates 11. After releasing the handle, the positioning plate 11 contacts the thickness gauge under the elastic force of the connecting spring 10, thereby limiting the position on both sides. Rotating the handle 7 causes the fixing screw 6 to rotate inside the mounting base 5 and nut 8. The handle 7 presses against one side of the mounting base 5, making the opening of the mounting base 5 smaller, thus fixing the thickness gauge. The object to be measured is placed on the support base 21, and the turntable 25 is rotated to make the bidirectional lead screw rotate. The two fixing clamps 27 slide on the surface of the stabilizing rod 26 and move closer to each other, thereby fixing the object to be measured. At this time, the thickness of the object to be measured can be detected using the thickness gauge.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention 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 present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
