Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dimensional measurement technology, and in particular to a measuring fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Image measurement is a highly effective measurement method. For minute structures such as holes, slots, or edges in mechanical products, image measurement offers high speed and accuracy (through optical magnification). It is an indispensable and cost-effective method, especially for high-speed measurement of batch products on production lines. However, image measurement is often affected by factors such as material and color, leading to decreased stability. Using backlit image measurement can largely solve these stability issues.

[0003] Backlight image measurement is a high-precision non-contact measurement technology based on the combination of backlight illumination and digital image processing. By projecting parallel light from the back of the object being measured, it highlights the contour edges and suppresses surface texture interference. It is suitable for transparent / semi-transparent objects and high-precision contour dimension detection.

[0004] In a laboratory environment, conventional image measuring instruments are equipped with a backlight (the stage is usually made of transparent material, and the backlight is installed below the stage), making it easy to switch between front and backlighting to obtain reliable measurement results. However, products on automated production lines typically require clamping and fixing using measuring fixtures, and loading and unloading are also accomplished by robots or similar automated mechanisms. These measuring fixtures are often complex in structure (a complex structure can easily obstruct the backlight from illuminating the measured feature) or opaque, making the aforementioned backlit image measurement difficult. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a measuring fixture to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and to facilitate the measurement of the backlight image of the sample being measured.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:

The support blocks are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate and are used to support the sample to be measured. The clamping mechanisms are mounted on the mounting plate and are used to press and fix the sample to be measured onto each of the support blocks. The light sources are fixedly placed below the sample to be measured and are used to emit light from bottom to top.

[0026] The measuring fixture provided by this utility model supports the sample 6 to be measured by the support block 4, and the clamping mechanism 2 presses and fixes the sample 6 to be measured on each support block 4 to ensure the stability of the sample 6 during the measurement process. By setting the light source 3 below the sample 6 that needs to be backlit for measurement, it is easy to realize the backlit image measurement of the sample 6, improve the reliability of image measurement, and solve the problem that the backlit light source cannot be blocked due to product clamping during automated online measurement, thus preventing the backlit image measurement.

[0027] It should be noted that the height and position distribution of the support blocks 4 can be determined in conjunction with the actual mounting conditions of the sample 6 being tested, and the position distribution of the clamping mechanism 2 can be determined in conjunction with the actual mounting conditions of the sample 6 being tested. As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the sample 6 being tested has reference holes, positioning holes, or other functional holes (the holes on the sample 6 being tested are holes that are inherent to the sample 6 being tested according to manufacturing or assembly requirements, and are not holes specifically designed to fit the measuring fixture provided by this utility model). Mounting positioning pins are provided on the mounting plate 1 so that when the sample 6 being tested is placed on each support block 4, the mounting positioning pins extend into the holes on the sample 6 being tested that do not require backlight image measurement, so as to facilitate the positioning and measurement of the sample 6 being tested.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the light source 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 1. Specifically, the light source 3 can be arranged on the mounting plate 1 according to the actual measurement requirements.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the light source 3 is fixedly mounted on the side of the support block 4. Specifically, the light source 3 can be arranged on the side of the support block 4 according to the actual measurement requirements.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the measuring fixture provided by this utility model also includes an auxiliary block 5. The bottom end of the auxiliary block 5 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 1, and the light source 3 is fixedly mounted on the top end of the auxiliary block 5, so as to reduce the distance between the light source 3 and the sample 6 to be measured, and to facilitate the flexible arrangement of the light source 3.

[0031] Furthermore, the light source 3 includes an LED emitter and a diffuser housing. The diffuser housing is fixedly mounted on the LED emitter. Both the diffuser housing and the LED emitter are used to be placed below the sample 6 under test. The LED emitter emits light from bottom to top, so that the light source 3 provides a soft backlight to the sample 6 under test.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the soft-light shell is a frosted, light-transmitting shell, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and use.

[0033] Furthermore, the measuring fixture provided by this utility model also includes a cable, a controller, and a computer.

The controller is communicatively connected to the computer. The computer can control the controller to work, and the controller can control the light source 3 to be powered on or off, making it convenient to control the light source 3 to be powered on or off.

The light sources 3 correspond one-to-one with the measured product features on the sample 6. The light sources 3 are placed below the measured product features on the sample 6, which makes them more targeted and can improve the reliability of image measurement.
