The optical sensor is electrically connected to the second electrically controlled telescopic rod, which controls the extension and retraction of the push block, causing the thickness gauge detection head to follow the extension and retraction adjustment, so that the thickness gauge detection head contacts the flocked spring to perform thickness detection.

[0008] Specifically, the thickness gauge head is configured as HCH-2000D.

The first electrically controlled telescopic rod controls the extension and retraction of the push plate to change the position of the flocked spring. The support is supported and fixed by the sleeve and support frame. The flocked spring in the flip detection structure can be supported on the flip seat. The optical sensor detects the distance of the flocked spring, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the second electrically controlled telescopic rod.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a flocked spring outer diameter thickness gauge, including a push structure 1 and a flip detection structure 2, wherein the front end of the flip detection structure 2 is fixedly provided with the push structure 1;

[0022] The derivation structure 1 is used to support the flocked spring 8, and the first electrically controlled telescopic rod 5 pushes the flocked spring 8 to move on the support 3 through the push plate 4, so that the flocked spring 8 is connected to the flip detection structure 2.

[0023] The flip detection structure 2 is used for detecting the flocked spring 8. The stepper motor 17 drives the flip base 15 to rotate, changing its position so that the flocked spring 8 reaches the flip base 15. The optical sensor 13 is electrically connected to the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 10, which controls the extension and retraction of the push block 11, causing the thickness gauge detection head 12 to follow the extension and retraction adjustment, bringing it into contact with the flocked spring 8 for thickness detection. By installing the push structure 1, the flocked spring 8 can be placed on the support 3. The first electrically controlled telescopic rod 5 controls the extension and retraction adjustment of the push plate 4, changing the position of the flocked spring 8. The support 3 is supported and fixed by the sleeve 6 and the support frame 7. The flocked spring 8 inside the detection structure 2 can be supported on the flipping seat 15, and the optical sensor 13 detects the distance of the flocked spring 8, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 10. The second electrically controlled telescopic rod 10 drives the thickness gauge detection head 12 to move through the push block 11, so that the thickness gauge detection head 12 contacts the flocked spring 8 to perform the thickness detection work of the flocked spring 8. The stepper motor 17 can drive the flipping seat 15 to rotate, so that the flipping seat 15 can cooperate with the push structure 1 to realize the continuous introduction of the flocked spring 8. Afterwards, the stepper motor 17 drives the flipping seat 15 to continue to rotate, and the flocked spring 8 can fall through the rear end of the flipping seat 15 to perform continuous detection processing.

[0024] The thickness gauge detection head 12 is set to model HCH-2000D.

The first electrically controlled telescopic rod 5 controls the push plate 4 to telescopically connect to the support 3.

[0026] The flipping detection structure 2 includes a flocked spring 8, a base 9, a second electrically controlled telescopic rod 10, a push block 11, a thickness gauge detection head 12, and an optical sensor 13. The optical sensor 13 and the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 10 are mounted on the base 9. The second electrically controlled telescopic rod 10 controls the extension and retraction of the thickness gauge detection head 12 via the push block 11. A support frame 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the base 9, and the front end of the support frame 14 is fixedly connected to a symmetrical front frame 16. The flocked spring 8 is guided onto the support 3 via an assembly line. Then, the first electrically controlled telescopic rod 5 operates, pushing the push plate 4 to move, causing the push plate 4 to drive the flocked spring 8 to move. At this time, the stepper motor 17 controls the flipping seat 15 to rotate, flipping the structure. The seat body on the base 15 is aligned with the flocked spring 8. Under the push of the pusher plate 4, the flocked spring 8 is connected to the position of the seat body on the flip base 15. Then, the stepper motor 17 controls the flip base 15 to reset. The optical sensor 13 senses the position of the flocked spring 8. Then, the second electronically controlled telescopic rod 10 controls the push block 11 to extend and retract, changing the position of the thickness gauge detection head 12 so that the thickness gauge detection head 12 contacts the flocked spring 8, realizing the thickness detection of the flocked spring 8. After the detection is completed, the stepper motor 17 controls the flip base 15 to continue rotating. At this time, the flocked spring 8 can fall off through the rear end of the flip base 15. Then, the stepper motor 17 controls the reset to continue the detection work.

[0029] Working principle: When needed, the flocked spring 8 is guided onto the support 3 via the assembly line. Then, the first electrically controlled telescopic rod 5 operates, pushing the pusher plate 4 to move, causing the pusher plate 4 to move the flocked spring 8. At this time, the stepper motor 17 controls the rotation of the flipping seat 15, aligning the seat on the flipping seat 15 with the flocked spring 8. Under the push of the pusher plate 4, the flocked spring 8 connects to the seat position on the flipping seat 15. Then, the stepper motor 17 controls the flipping seat 15 to reset. The optical sensor 13 senses the position of the flocked spring 8. Then, the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 10 controls the extension and retraction of the pusher block 11, changing the position of the thickness gauge detection head 12, so that the thickness gauge detection head 12 contacts the flocked spring 8, realizing the thickness detection of the flocked spring 8. After the detection is completed, the stepper motor 17 controls the flipping seat 15 to continue rotating. At this time, the flocked spring 8 can fall off through the rear end of the flipping seat 15. Then, the stepper motor 17 controls the reset, and the detection work continues, completing the work.
