Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold core outer diameter measurement technology, specifically a non-contact measurement and positioning fixture for mold core outer diameter. Background Technology
[0002] Mold core outer diameter measurement refers to the process of accurately measuring the outer diameter of the core component (mold core) in a mold. The mold core is a critical component used to shape the product during manufacturing, and its accuracy directly affects the quality of the final product. Therefore, ensuring that the outer diameter of the mold core meets design requirements is crucial. Measurements are typically performed during production, maintenance, or quality control phases to ensure that the dimensional tolerances of the mold core are within specified limits. Mold core quality control is critical for lens development and production because contact lens materials are thin and soft, and their shape is entirely determined by the mold core.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: the current mold core shape detection is mainly carried out by contact-type manual spiral micrometer, which is prone to human error during the measurement process, which can easily affect the shape accuracy and quality of the mold core and is inconvenient to use.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a non-contact measurement and positioning fixture for the outer diameter of the mold core, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a non-contact measuring and positioning fixture for mold core outer diameter, including a protective component 1. The protective component 1 provides overall support, protection, and operating space. The protective component 1 includes a base 11, which provides support for the installation of a fixing component 2. The fixing component 2 is located at the top center of the base 11, which facilitates the fixing of the mold core and enables non-contact measurement of its shape and outer diameter. A protective cabinet 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 11, providing a safe and enclosed operating environment to prevent external dust and light interference from affecting measurement accuracy. A measuring door 14 is hinged to one side of the protective cabinet 12, allowing operators to easily insert and remove the mold core and replace the sample to be measured. A top plate 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective cabinet 12, providing a mounting base for the measuring component 3 and facilitating the installation of the mold core. For non-contact measurement, a measuring component 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the top plate 13. The fixed component 2 includes an electric turntable 21, which facilitates the control of the rotation of the four-jaw chuck 22. The output end of the electric turntable 21 is equipped with the four-jaw chuck 22, which facilitates the clamping and fixing of the mold core sample. The rotation of the four-jaw chuck 22 drives the sample to rotate, realizing full-circumference scanning measurement. The measuring component 3 includes a guide rail 31, and a sliding block 33 is provided inside the guide rail 31. The guide rail 31 and the sliding block 33 facilitate the guidance and limitation of the movement of the infrared ranging sensor 32, which facilitates the movement of the infrared ranging sensor 32 on the top of the mold core, and facilitates the accurate measurement of the shape of the mold core. The infrared ranging sensor 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding block 33. The infrared ranging sensor 32 facilitates the emission of infrared light and the reception of reflected signals, and performs non-contact measurement of the outer diameter of the mold core based on the triangulation method or the time-of-flight method.

[0030] The electric turntable 21 is equipped with a first encoder, which is used to detect the rotation angle and position of the four-jaw chuck 22. By setting the first encoder, it is easy to detect the rotation angle and position of the electric turntable 21 in real time, so that the electric turntable 21 can accurately control the rotation of the four-jaw chuck 22, thereby making it convenient to perform full-circumference scanning measurement of the mold core sample.
[0031] The sliding block 33 has guide grooves 34 on both sides, and the guide grooves 34 are slidably connected to the guide rail 31. The guide grooves 34 make the sliding block 33 slide more stably and accurately.

The top plate 13 provides an installation base for the measuring assembly 3, facilitating non-contact measurement of the mold core. The electric turntable 21 controls the rotation of the four-jaw chuck 22. The positioning groove 23 facilitates rapid positioning of the mold core, allowing it to be fixedly installed at the top center of the four-jaw chuck 22. The four-jaw chuck 22 clamps and fixes the mold core sample. The rotation of the four-jaw chuck 22 drives the sample to rotate, achieving full-circumference scanning measurement. The first encoder allows for real-time detection of the rotation angle and position of the electric turntable 21, enabling precise control of the four-jaw chuck 22's rotation and facilitating full-circumference scanning measurement of the mold core sample. The guide groove 34 facilitates more stable and accurate sliding of the sliding block 33. The drive motor 37 drives the worm gear 38 to rotate. The worm wheel 39 drives the threaded rod 36 to rotate, thus controlling the sliding block 33. The guide rail 31 and the sliding block 33 guide and limit the movement of the infrared ranging sensor 32, allowing it to move on top of the mold core for accurate shape measurement. The infrared ranging sensor 32 emits infrared light and receives reflected signals, enabling non-contact measurement of the mold core's outer diameter based on triangulation or time-of-flight methods. The second encoder allows for real-time detection of the rotation angle and position of the threaded rod 36, improving the repeatability of the sliding block 33. An external computer can then combine data from the first encoder, second encoder, and infrared ranging sensor 32 to perform precise non-contact measurement of the mold core's outer diameter and shape.
