Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an automated measuring device for raised floors; in particular, it relates to an automated measuring device for raised floors that can not only measure the four sides and squareness of the raised floor, but also measure the height of the four legs of the raised floor when the raised floor is pressed flat. Background Technology
[0002] Raised floors are now widely used in computer rooms, clean rooms, and other similar spaces. A raised floor typically consists of at least four legs, at least four crossbeams, and at least one raised floor panel. It provides a highly flat surface above the ground, facilitates the installation of piping, and allows for easy control of cleanliness levels. Raised floors are a crucial structural element of the entire factory building. However, conventional methods for measuring raised floors mostly rely on manual measurement, which is both time-consuming and costly.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the designers of this case disclosed various measuring devices for raised floors in Taiwanese patents TWI875568, TWI875567, and TWI875566. However, after heat treatment, raised floors may deform due to residual thermal stress, resulting in unevenness. Placing an uneven raised floor on the platform of the measuring device can cause the bottom of some sections of the raised floor to warp, thus introducing errors when measuring foot height.
[0004] In view of this, the designer of this project racked his brains, conducted active research, and combined his many years of experience in related product research with continuous experimentation and improvement, and finally developed this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the pressing base includes a first plate and at least one first track, the first track being disposed at the top of the first plate; the pressing sliding seat includes a second plate and at least one second track, the second track being disposed at the bottom of the second plate and connected to the first track, thereby facilitating the sliding of the pressing sliding seat and the second pneumatic cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the first track includes: a track body disposed on the top of the first plate; two upper flanges disposed on the upper sections of the two sides of the track body; the second track includes: a top plate disposed on the bottom of the second plate; two side plates disposed on the two sides of the bottom of the top plate; two inner flanges extending inward from the bottom of the opposite inner sides of the two side plates for a predetermined length; the two side plates of the second track cover the two upper flanges of the first track, and the two inner flanges engage with the bottom of the two upper flanges, so as to serve as a support base when the pressure head of the second pneumatic cylinder presses down on the raised floor.
[0010] Preferably, the second pneumatic cylinder has a retracted state and an extended state; when the second pneumatic cylinder is in the retracted state, the bottom of the pressure head of the second pneumatic cylinder is higher than the top of the raised floor, which facilitates the pressing mechanism to return to the origin.
[0011] Preferably, the pressing base is provided with two first tracks, which are respectively located on the two sides of the top of the first plate; the pressing sliding seat is provided with two second tracks, which are located on the two sides of the bottom of the second plate and connected to the two first tracks; the first pneumatic cylinder has a cylinder body and a piston rod; the cylinder body of the first pneumatic cylinder is located on the top of the first plate, and the end of the piston rod of the first pneumatic cylinder is connected to the bottom of the second plate, thereby increasing the stability of the pressing sliding seat when sliding.
[0012] Preferably, the system includes two pressing mechanisms, which are respectively disposed on the first platform and located on opposite sides of the raised floor, thereby pressing the raised floor flat.
[0013] Preferably, the clamping mechanism has a front positioning structure and a left positioning structure to define a front reference line and a left reference line that are perpendicular to each other; the clamping mechanism also has a rear pushing mechanism and a right pushing mechanism to push the raised floor against the front positioning structure and the left positioning structure, wherein the front positioning structure is composed of two front fixed roller seats, the left positioning structure is composed of two left fixed roller seats; the rear pushing mechanism is composed of two rear sliding roller seats, and the right pushing mechanism is composed of a right sliding roller seat, which can facilitate clamping and fixing the raised floor.
[0014] Preferably, a standard component is first used on the first platform to simultaneously zero the measuring devices for the four sides, squareness, and four leg heights of the raised floor. After the zeroing operation is completed, the standard component is removed, and the raised floor is picked up and placed on the first platform, while the four sides, squareness, and four leg heights of the raised floor are measured.
[0015] Preferably, a standard part is first zeroed out before measuring the raised floor. During measurement, the raised floor is first pushed by the right sliding roller seat so that the left edge overlaps with the left baseline, and then the fifth and sixth side length measuring instruments are used for measurement. Then, the right sliding roller seat, the fifth side length measuring instrument, and the sixth side length measuring instrument return to the origin. Next, the raised floor is pushed by the two rear sliding roller seats so that the front edge overlaps with the front baseline, and then the third and fourth side length measuring instruments are used for measurement. Then, the two rear sliding roller seats, the third side length measuring instrument, and the fourth side length measuring instrument return to the origin. The lengths of the front edge, rear edge, left edge, and right edge of the raised floor are the dimensions of the standard part minus the measured values of the fifth, sixth, third, and fourth side length measuring instruments, which facilitates the measurement of the four sides of the raised floor.

Then, the first to sixth side length measuring instruments are used for measurement. After that, the two rear sliding roller seats, the right sliding roller seat, and the first to sixth side length measuring instruments return to their original positions. The squareness of the left, rear, and right edges of the raised floor is obtained by subtracting the measurement values of the second, third, fourth, and fifth side length measuring instruments from the measurement value of the first, fourth, and sixth side length measuring instruments, respectively. This method facilitates the measurement of the squareness of the raised floor.
[0017] Preferably, it includes: four cantilever support seats disposed on the first platform and located on the outer sides of the four corners of the raised floor; four cantilever arms, each having a pivot end and a suspension end, the pivot ends of the four cantilever arms being rotatably disposed on the four cantilever support seats, so that the suspension ends of the four cantilever arms can swing between the four corners of the raised floor and the outer sides of the raised floor; four swinging pneumatic cylinders, each driving the four cantilever arms to swing; and four foot height measuring devices disposed on the suspension ends of the four cantilever arms, which can conveniently measure the foot height at the four corners of the raised floor.
[0018] Preferably, a standard component is first used for zeroing before measuring the raised floor. During measurement, the first pneumatic cylinder pushes the pressing sliding seat along with the second pneumatic cylinder above the raised floor, and the second pneumatic cylinder pushes the pressing head to the top surface of the raised floor to press it flat. Then, the four cantilever arms on the four cantilever support seats are rotated so that the four foot height measuring devices are located above the four corners of the raised floor. The four foot height measuring devices are then used for measurement. After the four foot height measuring devices are returned to their original positions, the four cantilever arms and the pressing mechanism are also returned to their original positions. The four foot heights of the raised floor are the values measured by the four foot height measuring devices, which facilitates the measurement of the four foot heights of the raised floor.

Detailed Implementation
[0039] like Figures 1 to 16As shown, this utility model provides an automated measuring device 100 for raised floors, including: a first platform 1; a clamping mechanism 2, disposed on the first platform 1, for clamping a raised floor 101 on the first platform 1; the clamping mechanism 2 has a front positioning structure 21 and a left positioning structure 22 to define a front reference line L11 and a left reference line L12 that are perpendicular to each other; the first side length measuring device to the sixth side length measuring device 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 are located on the same plane and arranged on the raised floor. The left, rear, and right sides of the raised floor 101 allow for the measurement of the four sides and squareness of the raised floor. At least one pressing mechanism 8, located on the first platform 1 and outside the raised floor 101, can press the raised floor 101 flat. Four foot height measuring devices 41, positioned above the four corners of the first platform 1, can measure the four foot heights of the raised floor 101. This structure allows for the measurement of not only the four sides and squareness of the raised floor but also the four foot heights of the raised floor while it is pressed flat. This will be explained in detail below.
[0040] This utility model can be used to measure, for example, honeycomb raised floors (not shown in the figure), grid raised floors (not shown in the figure), window raised floors (not shown in the figure), blind raised floors (hereinafter referred to as blind panels, this utility model takes blind panels as an example) and other types of raised floors 101.
[0041] The first platform 1 can be a steel frame structure. Figures 2-4 The image is simply illustrated with a flat panel.
[0042] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the front positioning structure 21 of the clamping mechanism 2 can be composed of two front fixed roller seats 211. The two front fixed roller seats 211 form the front reference line L11. In addition, the left positioning structure 22 can be composed of two left fixed roller seats 221, and the two left fixed roller seats 221 form a left reference line L12 perpendicular to the front reference line L11.
[0043] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 may further include a rear pushing mechanism 23 and a right pushing mechanism 24. The rear pushing mechanism 23 may be composed of two rear sliding roller seats 231, and the right pushing mechanism 24 may be composed of a right sliding roller seat 241. These mechanisms can push the raised floor 101 from the rear and right sides respectively, causing the front edge 1011 and left edge 1012 of the raised floor to rest against the two front fixed roller seats 211 and the two left fixed roller seats 221, thereby fixing the raised floor 101 for measurement. After measurement, the rear pushing mechanism 23 and the right pushing mechanism 24 can be returned to their original positions for easy replacement of the raised floor 101 under test.
[0044] The front edge 1011 of the raised floor 101 overlaps with the front reference line, serving as the primary reference for measurement. Therefore, it is not necessary to install a side length measuring device on the front. Measurements can be completed simply by installing the first to sixth side length measuring devices 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 on the left, rear, and right sides of the raised floor. For example, the first side length measuring device 31 measures the left edge of the raised floor near the front; the second side length measuring device 32 measures the left edge of the raised floor near the rear; the third side length measuring device 33 measures the rear edge of the raised floor near the left; the fourth side length measuring device 34 measures the rear edge of the raised floor near the right; the fifth side length measuring device 35 measures the right edge of the raised floor near the front; and the sixth side length measuring device 36 measures the right edge of the raised floor near the rear. In addition, for ease of explanation, the raised floor 101 clamped by the clamping mechanism 2 is used as a reference, and the length (front edge 1011), width (left edge 1012) and height of the raised floor 101 are defined as the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions.
[0045] The automated measuring device 100 for raised floors may further include a controller. The controller may be, for example, a computer or a programmable logic controller (PLC) (not shown in the figure), for controlling the clamping mechanism 2, the first side length measuring devices to the sixth side length measuring devices 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and other components.
[0046] The automated measuring device 100 for raised floors may also have a side length measuring means and a squareness measuring means, which can measure the side length and squareness of the raised floor respectively through the clamping mechanism 2 in different clamping methods.
[0047] The side length measurement method can be a program code recorded in the controller, which obtains the lengths of the front edge 1011, left edge 1012, rear edge 1013 and right edge 1014 of the raised floor based on the measurement values of the third to sixth side length measuring devices 33, 34, 35 and 36.
[0048] Before measurement, a standard piece is used to perform a zeroing operation, and then the raised floor is measured. This means that on the first platform 1, the measuring instruments for the four sides, squareness, and four leg heights of the raised floor are simultaneously zeroed. After zeroing, the standard piece is removed, and the raised floor to be measured is picked up and placed on the first platform 1, where the four sides, squareness, and four leg heights of the raised floor are measured simultaneously. A standard marble slab can be used as the standard piece, with dimensions identical to the length, width, and height of a standard raised floor.
[0049] During measurement, firstly, the right sliding roller seat 241 pushes the raised floor 101 so that the left edge 1012 overlaps with the left baseline L12. Then, the fifth side length measuring device 35 and the sixth side length measuring device 36 are used for measurement. Afterward, the right sliding roller seat 241, the fifth side length measuring device 35, and the sixth side length measuring device 36 return to their original positions. Next, the two rear sliding roller seats 231 push the raised floor 101 so that the front edge 1011 overlaps with the front baseline L11. Then, the fifth side length measuring device 35 and the sixth side length measuring device 36 are used for measurement. The three-sided length measuring device 33 and the fourth-sided length measuring device 34 are used for measurement. Then, the two rear sliding roller seats 231, the third-sided length measuring device 33 and the fourth-sided length measuring device 34 are returned to the origin. The lengths of the front edge 1011, rear edge 1013, left edge 1012 and right edge 1014 of the raised floor 101 are the dimensions of the standard part minus the measured values of the fifth-sided length measuring device 35, the sixth-sided length measuring device 36, the third-sided length measuring device 33 and the fourth-sided length measuring device 34.
[0050] For example, take a standard part with dimensions of 600×600×60mm. Before measurement, first zero the standard part with all four sides being 600mm, and then begin the measurement.
[0051] Taking a raised floor under test as an example, after measurement, the fifth side length measuring device 35 measured a value of 0, so the length of the front edge 1011 is 600-0=600mm. The sixth side length measuring device 36 measured a value of -0.05, so the length of the rear edge 1013 is 600-(-0.05)=600.05mm. The third side length measuring device 33 measured a value of 0, so the length of the left edge 1012 is 600-0=600mm. The fourth side length measuring device 34 measured a value of 0.05, so the length of the right edge 1014 is 600-0.05=599.95mm.
[0052] In addition, the side length of the tested standard part can be determined to be within a tolerance range of, for example, 600×600±0.1mm by means of side length determination.
[0053] The squareness measurement method can be a program code recorded in the controller, which obtains the squareness of the left edge 1012, rear edge 1013 and right edge 1014 of the raised floor 101 based on the measurement values of the first side length measuring device to the sixth side length measuring device 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36.
[0054] Before measurement, a standard part is used to perform zeroing operations, and then the raised floor is measured.
[0055] During measurement, the two rear sliding roller seats 231 are first used to push the raised floor 101 so that the front edge 1011 overlaps with the front reference line L11. Then, the right sliding roller seat 241 is used to make at least one point on the left edge 1012 overlap with the left reference line L12. Then, the first to sixth side length measuring instruments 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 are used for measurement. Then, the two rear sliding roller seats 231, the right sliding roller seat 241, and the sixth side length measuring instruments 35 and 36 are used for measurement. The length measuring devices 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 of the first side length measuring device return to their original positions. The squareness of the left edge 1012, rear edge 1013, and right edge 1014 of the raised floor 101 are respectively the measured value of the first side length measuring device 31 minus the measured value of the second side length measuring device 32, the measured value of the third side length measuring device 33 minus the measured value of the fourth side length measuring device 34, and the measured value of the fifth side length measuring device 35 minus the measured value of the sixth side length measuring device 36.
[0056] For example, take a standard part with dimensions of 600×600×60mm. Before measurement, first zero the sample using a standard part with four sides of 600mm, and then begin the measurement.
[0057] Taking a raised floor under test as an example, after measurement, the first side length measuring device 31 measures 0, the second side length measuring device 32 measures 0, so the squareness of the left edge 1012 is 0 - 0 = 0. The third side length measuring device 33 measures 0, the fourth side length measuring device 34 measures 0.05, so the squareness of the rear edge 1013 is 0 - 0.05 = -0.05. The fifth side length measuring device 35 measures 0, the sixth side length measuring device 36 measures -0.05, so the squareness of the right edge 1014 is 0.05 - (-0.05) = 0.05.
[0058] In addition, a squareness determination method can be used to determine whether the squareness of the tested raised floor is up to standard.
[0059] After the four sides and squareness of the raised floor are measured, the clamping mechanism 2 and the first to sixth side length measuring devices 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 are all returned to their original positions so that the foot height of the raised floor can be measured later.
[0060] like Figures 1-3 and Figure 9 As shown, before measuring the foot height, at least one pressing mechanism 8 is used to press the raised floor 101 from the Z-axis direction. In this embodiment, two pressing mechanisms 8 are provided as an example. The two pressing mechanisms 8 are respectively provided on the first platform 1 and located on the outside of the two opposite sides (e.g., left and right sides or front and rear sides) of the raised floor 101. The pressing head 843 of the pressing mechanism 8 can be moved to the top of the raised floor 101 and then moved downward to press the raised floor 101 flat.
[0061] like Figures 4-9 As shown, the pressing mechanism 8 further includes a pressing base 81, a pressing sliding seat 82, a first pneumatic cylinder 83, and at least a second pneumatic cylinder 84.
[0062] The pressing base 81 is disposed on the first platform 1 and located on the outside of one side of the raised floor 101, and is used to guide the sliding direction of the pressing slide 82.
[0063] The pressing sliding seat 82 is slidably disposed on the pressing base 81; the pressing sliding seat 82 has a suspension part 821 at the position facing the raised floor 101, the suspension part 821 is used to support the second pneumatic cylinder 84; after the pressing sliding seat 82 slides towards the raised floor 101, the suspension part 821 is located above the raised floor 101 (e.g., Figures 8-9 As shown), the second pneumatic cylinder 84 can easily press the raised floor 101.
[0064] The first pneumatic cylinder 83 is used to drive the sliding block 82 to slide.
[0065] The second pneumatic cylinder 84 has a cylinder body 841, a piston rod 842, and a pressure head 843 disposed at the end of the piston rod 842 of the second pneumatic cylinder 84; the cylinder body 841 of the second pneumatic cylinder 84 is disposed on the suspension part 821 of the pressing sliding seat 82; when the suspension part 821 of the pressing sliding seat 82 is placed above the raised floor 101, the piston rod 842 of the second pneumatic cylinder 84 can slide downward to make the pressure head 843 press the raised floor 101.
[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, the pressing base 81 may include a first plate 811 and at least one first track 812. The first track 812 is disposed on the top of the first plate 811. In this embodiment, two first tracks 812 are provided as an example.
[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, the pressing slide seat 82 may include a second plate 822 and at least one second track 823. This embodiment uses two second tracks 823 as an example. The second track 823 is located at the bottom of the second plate 822 and connects to the first track 812, thereby facilitating the sliding of the pressing slide seat 82 and the second pneumatic cylinder 84, allowing the second plate 822 of the pressing slide seat 82 to slide along the first track 812 towards the raised floor 101 (e.g., ...). Figure 8 (as shown) or return to the origin (as shown) Figure 7 (As shown). Furthermore, the second pneumatic cylinder 84 has a retracted state (as shown). Figure 8 (as shown) and an extended state (such as) Figure 9 As shown). Figure 8As shown, when the second pneumatic cylinder 84 is in the retracted state, the bottom 8431 of the pressure head 843 of the second pneumatic cylinder 84 is higher than the top of the raised floor 101. With this structure, before measurement, the first pneumatic cylinder 83 pushes the pressing sliding seat 82 along with the second pneumatic cylinder 84 above the raised floor 101 along the X-axis. After measurement, the first pneumatic cylinder 83 then retracts the pressing sliding seat 82 along with the second pneumatic cylinder 84 away from above the raised floor 101 along the X-axis, facilitating the return of the pressing mechanism 8 to its original position (e.g., ...). Figure 7 As shown), this clears the space above the raised floor 101, facilitating the gripping mechanism 73 (as shown). Figure 13 (As shown) After grabbing the raised floor 101, it can leave from the Z-axis direction.
[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the first track 812 may include: a track body 8121, disposed on the top of the first plate 811; and two upper wing plates 8122, disposed on the upper sections of the two sides of the track body 8121.
[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, the second track 823 may include: a top plate 8231 disposed at the bottom of the second plate 822; two side plates 8232 disposed on the two sides of the bottom of the top plate 8231; and two inner flanges 8233 extending inward from the bottom of the opposite inner side of the two side plates 8232 for a predetermined length, with an opening between the two side plates 8232 larger than the track body 8121.
[0070] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the two side plates 8232 of the second track 823 cover the two upper flanges 8122 of the first track 812, and the two inner flanges 8233 engage with the bottom of the two upper flanges 8122. With this structure, the cooperation between the first track 812 and the second track 823 can not only guide the pressing sliding seat 82, but also withstand upward and downward pressure, so as to serve as a support base when the pressure head 843 of the second pneumatic cylinder 84 presses the raised floor 101.
[0071] like Figure 4As shown, the first pneumatic cylinder 83 has a cylinder body 831 and a piston rod 832. The cylinder body 831 of the first pneumatic cylinder 83 is located at the top of the first plate 811, and the piston rod 832 of the first pneumatic cylinder 83 is connected to the bottom of the second plate 822. A connecting member 8321 may be provided on the piston rod 832, and the second plate 822 is locked to the connecting member 8321 with at least one screw (not shown in the figure). In addition, as mentioned above, this embodiment may provide two first tracks 812 and two second tracks 823. The two first tracks 812 may be respectively located on the two sides of the top of the first plate 811, and the two second tracks 823 may be respectively located on the two sides of the bottom of the second plate 822. The cylinder body 831 is located in the middle section of the top of the first plate 811, thereby increasing the stability of the sliding seat 82 when it slides.
[0072] like Figure 8 As shown, when the second pneumatic cylinder 84 is in the retracted state, the bottom 8431 of the pressure head 843 of the second pneumatic cylinder 84 is higher than the top of the raised floor 101. In order to ensure the height of the bottom 8431 of the pressure head 843 when the second pneumatic cylinder 84 is in the retracted state, several supports 813 may be provided at the bottom of related structures such as the pressing base 81 to increase the height.
[0073] like Figures 10-11 As shown, four foot height measuring devices 41 are positioned above the four corners of the first platform 1 to measure the foot height H1 of the raised floor 101, thereby obtaining the foot height measurement values. Furthermore, to facilitate the measurement and replacement of the raised floor 101, the first platform 1 may be further provided with: four cantilever support seats 42, positioned on the first platform 1 and located on the outer sides of the four corners of the raised floor 101; four cantilever arms 43, each having a pivot end 431 and a suspension end 432, the pivot ends 431 of the four cantilever arms 43 being rotatably mounted on the four cantilever support seats 42, allowing the suspension ends 432 of the four cantilever arms 43 to swing between the four corners of the raised floor 101 and the outer sides of the raised floor 101; four swinging pneumatic cylinders 44, each driving the four cantilever arms 43 to swing; and four foot height measuring devices 41 positioned on the suspension ends 432 of the four cantilever arms 43, facilitating the measurement of the foot height at the four corners of the raised floor.
[0074] The four foot height measuring devices 41 can operate in conjunction with a foot height measuring method. The foot height measuring method can be a program code recorded in the controller, which obtains the foot height of the four corners of the raised floor based on the measurement values of the four foot height measuring devices.
[0075] After measuring the lengths of the four sides and their squareness, you can begin measuring the foot height. Before measuring, use a standard component to perform zeroing operations, and then measure the raised floor. For example... Figure 7 and Figure 12As shown, before measuring foot height, the four foot height measuring devices 41, the four cantilever arms 43, and the pressing mechanism 8 are located at the origin. The foot height measurement steps are explained in sections below.
[0076] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the first pneumatic cylinder 83 first pushes the pressing sliding seat 82 together with the second pneumatic cylinder 84 along the X-axis direction to the top of the raised floor 101.
[0077] like Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, the second pneumatic cylinder 84 then pushes the pressure head 843 along the Z-axis to the top surface of the raised floor 101, thereby pressing the raised floor 101 flat.
[0078] like Figures 10-11 As shown, the four cantilever 43s mounted on the four cantilever support seats 42 are rotated so that the four foot height measuring devices 41 are located above the four corners of the raised floor 101, and then the four foot height measuring devices 41 are used to make measurements.
[0079] like Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, after the measurement is completed, the four foot height measuring devices 41 first return to the origin, and then the four cantilever arms 43 and the pressing mechanism 8 return to the origin.
[0080] like Figures 13-14 As shown, the four foot height measuring devices 41 can be laser rangefinders or displacement gauges (not shown in the figure) as measuring devices. The following is an example of a laser rangefinder 413. Each of the four foot height measuring devices 41 can have a pneumatic cylinder 411, a fixed base 412, and a laser rangefinder 413.
[0081] The pneumatic cylinder 411 comprises: a cylinder body 4111 fixed to the suspension end 432 of the cantilever, having a pneumatic chamber 41111 inside, and having an upper through hole 41112 communicating with the center of the top of the pneumatic chamber 41111, a lower through hole 41113 communicating with the center of the bottom of the pneumatic chamber 41111, an upper air valve 41114 communicating with the top of the pneumatic chamber 41111, and a lower air valve 41115 communicating with the bottom of the pneumatic chamber 41111; and a rod body 4112 inserted into the cylinder. Between the upper through hole 41112, the air pressure chamber 41111, and the lower through hole 41113 of the rod body 4111, a baffle 41121 that will not detach from the air pressure chamber 41111 is provided in the middle section of the rod body 4112. When measuring the floor height, the rod body 4112 moves up and down in the air pressure chamber 41111 according to the different thicknesses of the floor. A laser rangefinder 41122 is provided at the top of the rod body 4112, and a floor fixing plate 41123 is provided at the bottom of the rod body 4112. When the rod body 4112 of the four foot height measuring devices 41 drives the floor fixing plate 41123 to press down, the floor fixing plates 41123 of the four foot height measuring devices 41 press against the four corners of the top surface 1018 of the raised floor 101 respectively.
[0082] The fixed base 412 is fixed on the top of the pneumatic cylinder 411 and has a receiving space 4121. The laser rangefinder 41122 is disposed in the receiving space 4121, so that the laser rangefinder 41122 can move up and down in the receiving space 4121 of the fixed base 412.
[0083] The laser rangefinder 413 is a conventional technology, therefore its internal structure is not shown in the cross-sectional view. The laser rangefinder 413 is located at the top of the accommodating space 4121 of the mounting base 412 and can measure the distance H2 between itself and the laser rangefinder plate 41122. After the four height measuring devices 41 are zeroed, this distance H2 becomes the standard height, used for comparison when the laser rangefinder 413 measures the height of the raised floor 101.
[0084] For example, consider a standard part with dimensions of 600×600×60mm. Before measurement, zero the sample using a standard part where all four legs are 60mm high, and then begin the measurement. In the zeroing process for measuring the leg height, the step of flattening the raised floor with a pressing mechanism can be omitted.
[0085] Additionally, during the zeroing process for measuring foot height, such as Figure 13 As shown, the floor fixing plate 41123 is in the zero position when it is not extended. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to another part of the text.) Figure 14As shown, when the floor fixing piece 41123 extends to the raised floor 101, it can be at a relative zero position, which can be set as the leg height of the standard part, i.e., 60mm. This makes the four leg heights of the raised floor the measured values of the four leg height measuring instruments 41. In this state, taking a tested raised floor as an example, after measurement, the measured values of the four leg height measuring instruments 41 are all 60mm, so the four leg heights of the raised floor are all 60mm. In addition, a leg height judgment method can be used to determine whether the leg height of the tested raised floor is qualified within a tolerance range of, for example, 60±0.1mm.
[0086] In summary, after zeroing out a standard component, we can begin measuring each raised floor individually, and for each raised floor to be measured, we need to measure the length of its four sides, its squareness, and its leg height in sequence.
[0087] Additionally, the raised floor 101 may consist of a floor body 1015 and a panel 1016. The floor body 1015 may be made of materials such as aluminum alloy. The raised floor 101 is placed on the first platform 1 with the panel 1016 facing upwards and the bottom corners facing downwards. When the floor fixing piece 41123 is pressed down, it will press on the panel 1016 of the raised floor 101.
[0088] like Figures 15-16 As shown, to save manpower, this utility model may further include: a second platform 5, located in front of the first platform 1; a third platform 6, located behind the first platform 1; a transport mechanism 7, which further includes: a support frame 71, which supports a transport track 72 above the first platform 1, the second platform 5, and the third platform 6; and at least one gripping mechanism 73, located on the transport track 72, which can move along the transport track 72 and grip and transport the raised floor 101 between the first platform 1, the second platform 5, and the third platform 6. This embodiment takes the presence of two gripping mechanisms 73 as an example, and a connecting rod 731 is provided between the two gripping mechanisms 73 so that the two gripping mechanisms 73 can move synchronously. Thus, when the first gripping mechanism 73 transports the measured raised floor to the third platform 6, the second gripping mechanism 73 simultaneously transports the raised floor to be tested on the second platform 5 to the first platform 1. This not only reduces the standby time of the measuring equipment and thus increases overall work efficiency, but also facilitates automated operation. In addition, the second platform 5 may be provided with several positioning blocks 51. In this embodiment, three positioning blocks 51 are provided as an example, which can facilitate the initial positioning of the raised floor 101 when it is placed on the second platform 5, thereby facilitating the gripping mechanism 73 to grip the raised floor 101.
[0089] The above-described embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. All variations and designs made in accordance with this utility model should be included within the patent scope of this utility model.
