[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a support plate 33 is connected to one side of the equipment base 16 by several placement racks 25. A detection device 1 is located on one side of the support plate 33. The bottom of the detection device 1 is connected to the other side of the equipment base 16 by a slide rail assembly.

Pneumatic components 24 and an electrical control box 23 are located on the front and rear sides of the equipment base 16, respectively.

[0023] The testing device 1 includes a support base, a support rod, a position detection frame, a first detection mechanism, a driven plate, a second detection mechanism, and a measuring scale. The bottom of the support rod 3 is connected to the support base 13, the support rod 3 is connected to the first slide rail 4, the top of the first slide rail 4 is connected to the position detection frame 8, the driven plate 5 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 4, and the first position detection mechanism 6 and the second position detection mechanism 7 are fixedly connected to the driven plate 5 from top to bottom respectively; a fixing block 9 is connected to one side of the driven plate 5, a moving handle 10 is connected to the fixing block 9, an elastic stop 11 is connected to one side wall of the support rod 3, and a measuring scale 12 is connected to the other side wall of the support rod 3.

[0024] Sliding blocks 14 are connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the support base 13. The sliding blocks 14 on both sides are slidably connected to the second slide rails 15 on both sides. The second slide rails 15 on both sides are fixedly connected to the equipment base 16. The second slide rails 15 can adjust the lateral position of the support rod 3 to adapt to the accompanying tooling 2 in different positions.

[0025] Position detection sensors are respectively installed on the first position detection mechanism 6 and the second position detection mechanism 7.

[0026] Two stop plates 17 are provided between the second slide rails 15 on both sides, with the two stop plates 17 located at the left and right ends of the second slide rails 15 on both sides respectively. Threaded rods 18 are threadedly connected to the stop plates 17, and a mating plate 19 corresponding to the threaded rods 18 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the support base 13. The threaded rods 18 and the mating plates 19 correspond to each other, so that the stop plates 17 on both sides can limit the maximum sliding distance of the support base 13, and can be further limited by the extension length of the threaded rods 18.

[0027] One side of the equipment base 16 is connected to one end of several second support columns 26, and the other end of the second support columns 26 is connected to a horizontal plate 27. A lifting cylinder 28 is mounted on the horizontal plate 27. Vertical plates 29 are located on the left and right sides of the lifting cylinder 28, and third slide rails 30 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the vertical plates 29. Driven slide plates 31 are slidably connected to the third slide rails 30. The end of the drive shaft of the lifting cylinder 28 is connected to one end of a fixed plate 32, and the other end of the fixed plate 32 is connected to a support plate 33. The bottom of the support plate 33 is fixedly connected to the driven slide plates 31 on the left and right sides. By controlling the extension and retraction length of the lifting cylinder 28, the driven slide plates 31 on both sides can be driven to move vertically back and forth on the third slide rail 30, thereby adjusting the height of the support plate 33.

[0028] A solenoid valve 34 is provided on the equipment base 16 located below the horizontal plate 27.

[0029] The support plate 33 is equipped with a positioning pin for fixing the accompanying tool 2 to be measured. The positioning pin can easily fix the accompanying tool 2.

[0031] In use, the measuring ruler 12 can measure the height of various parts of the accompanying tooling 2. The sliding block 14 slides on the second slide rail 15 and drives the support base 13 to move close to the accompanying tooling 2. The driven plate 5 is controlled to slide on the first slide rail 4 by the moving handle 10 until the first position detection mechanism 6 and the second position detection mechanism 7 reach the designated position on the accompanying tooling 2. The position detection frame 8 moves synchronously on the first slide rail 4. This combination of fixed and adjustable position structure can adapt to the errors of the equipment itself and the accompanying tooling 2 itself. The position of the detection device 1 can be determined according to the position of the most recent processing state to ensure the consistency of the accompanying tooling 2. The lifting cylinder 28 can lift and lower the fixed plate 32, and at the same time drive the driven slide plate 31 to lift and lower on the third slide rail 30 to adjust the height of the support plate 33 fixed on the top surface of the driven slide plate 31 and the fixed plate 32, and control the height of the accompanying tooling 2 on it.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0033] 1. The measuring ruler can measure the height of various parts of the accompanying tooling. The sliding block slides on the second slide rail, driving the support base to move close to the accompanying tooling. The driven plate is controlled to slide on the first slide rail by the moving handle until the first position detection mechanism and the second position detection mechanism reach the designated position on the accompanying tooling. The position detection frame moves synchronously on the first slide rail. This combination of fixed and adjustable position structure can adapt to the errors of the equipment itself and the accompanying tooling itself. The position of the detection equipment can be determined according to the position of the most recent processing state to ensure the consistency of the accompanying tooling.

[0034] 2. The lifting cylinder can push the fixed plate to rise and fall, and at the same time drive the driven slide to rise and fall on the third slide rail, so as to adjust the height of the support plate fixed on the top surface of the driven slide and the fixed plate, and control the height of the accompanying tooling on it.
