[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0036] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a flatness inspection tool is provided, including: a carrier plate 3, pressure strip bodies 5, and a gap detection channel 6. The carrier plate 3 has a working surface that forms an angle with the horizontal plane to create an inclined sliding plane 4; at least two pressure strip bodies 5 are arranged parallel to each other along the inclined direction of the carrier plate 3 on the inclined sliding plane 4; the gap detection channel 6 is formed between the bottom of the pressure strip body 5 and the inclined sliding plane 4 of the carrier plate 3, extends along the inclined direction of the carrier plate 3 and is parallel to the parallel arrangement direction of the pressure strip bodies 5, and is used to determine the degree of flatness compliance of the workpiece 9 to be inspected by whether it passes smoothly through the channel.

[0039] The flatness inspection tool provided by this utility model sets the carrier plate 3 as an inclined sliding plane 4, and uses gravity to achieve the directional sliding of the workpiece 9 to be inspected, without the need for additional power drive, which simplifies the structure of the inspection tool and reduces energy consumption; at least two pressure strip bodies 5 are arranged in parallel along the inclined direction, and a gap detection channel 6 extending along the inclined direction is formed between their bottom and the carrier plate 3. The flatness qualification degree can be intuitively judged by whether the workpiece can pass through the channel smoothly. The detection method is simple and efficient, and it is convenient for operators to quickly identify unqualified workpieces.

[0040] Preferably, the pressure strip body 5 has a protruding connecting end 601 at one end of the mounting plate 3, forming a boss structure. The protruding connecting end 601 and the mounting plate 3 form a gap, which is a gap detection channel 6. The gap is used for the workpiece to pass through. If the workpiece can slide out along the gap, the workpiece is a qualified product. If the workpiece cannot slide out, the workpiece is a defective product.

[0041] Furthermore, the gap detection channel 6 includes a support datum 602, a constraint datum 603, and a channel height 604. The support datum 602 is formed by the inclined sliding plane 4 of the carrier plate 3, and the constraint datum 603 is formed by the bottom of the pressure strip body 5. The support datum 602 and the constraint datum 603 are parallel, and the channel height 604 is the vertical distance between the support datum 602 and the constraint datum 603. The parallel relationship between the support datum 602 and the constraint datum 603 ensures the consistency of the channel height 604 in the extension direction, avoiding detection errors caused by uneven channel height 604, and effectively improving the accuracy of flatness detection.

[0042] In this embodiment, the channel height 604 is 1.4 ± 0.02. If the flatness of the product is greater than 0.2, it cannot pass through the channel height 604.

[0043] Preferably, the gap detection channel 6 further includes a side boundary 605 and a channel width 606. The side boundary 605 is the inner surface of the oppositely arranged pressure strip bodies 5, with the two inner surfaces parallel to each other. The channel width 606 is the parallel distance between the side boundaries 605 of the two pressure strip bodies 5. Preferably, this design gives the gap detection channel 6 a clear limiting structure in both the height and width directions, further improving the consistency and accuracy of the detection.

[0044] Furthermore, the flatness inspection tool also includes a detachable component 7 connected between the pressure strip body 5 and the carrier plate 3. The detachable component 7 is used to adjust the distance between the two pressure strip bodies 5.

[0045] Specifically, the detachable component 7 includes a first mounting hole 701, a first mating hole 702, and a first fastener 703 (such as a screw). The first mounting hole 701 is opened at both ends of the carrier plate 3, and the first mating hole 702 is opened on the surface of the pressure strip body 5. The hole size and position of the first mounting hole 701 and the first mating hole 702 are adapted to each other. The first fastener 703 passes between the first mounting hole 701 and the first mating hole 702.

[0046] To meet the testing requirements of workpieces of different specifications, the relative positions of the pressure strip bodies 5 can be adjusted by unscrewing the first fastener 703, and then the pressure strip bodies 5 can be fixed on the carrier plate 3 using the first fastener 703.

[0047] The flatness inspection fixture also includes a horizontal base 1, which is installed at the bottom of the carrier plate 3. The inclined sliding plane 4 of the carrier plate 3 forms an angle with the horizontal plane of the horizontal base 1. The angle can be fixed according to the actual situation to ensure that the workpiece can slide smoothly out of the gap detection channel 6 due to gravity.

[0048] In this flatness inspection tool, the horizontal base 1 and the carrier plate 3 are connected by a connecting plate 2, which is used to support the carrier plate 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 2 can be a hollow structure, which ensures the structural stability of the connecting plate 2 while reducing the mass of the inspection tool and saving the material cost of manufacturing the inspection tool.

[0050] This flatness inspection tool has a connecting plate 2 and a carrier plate 3 connected by a connecting component 8, which is used to replace the carrier plate 3.

[0051] The flatness inspection tool has a connecting component 8 including a second mounting hole 801, a second mating hole 802, and a second fastener 803. The second mounting hole 801 is located in the middle of the carrier plate 3, and the second mating hole 802 is located at the upper end of the connecting plate 2. The hole size and position of the second mounting hole 801 and the second mating hole 802 are adapted to each other. The second fastener 803 passes between the second mounting hole 801 and the second mating hole 802.

[0052] When it is necessary to rotate the carrier plate 3, the second fastener 803 can be removed, the carrier plate 3 can be rotated to a specific angle, the second mounting hole 801 can be engaged with the second mating hole 802, and then the second fastener 803 can be used to tighten it.

[0053] The flatness inspection tool provided by this utility model is used as follows: the workpiece is placed at the gap detection channel 6, and the plane 4 is slidably conveyed by the carrier plate 3, so that the workpiece automatically slides down into the gap detection channel 6 under the action of gravity. During this process, if the workpiece can pass smoothly through the detection channel formed between the bottom of the pressure strip body 5 and the carrier plate 3, it indicates that its flatness meets the requirements; otherwise, if the workpiece gets stuck or cannot pass through during the process, it is determined that the flatness of the workpiece is unqualified.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
