[0002] Roundness testers are precision shape measurement devices used in the mechanical manufacturing industry. They are primarily used to detect shape errors such as roundness and cylindricity of circular workpieces. They mainly consist of a high-precision spindle, contact / non-contact probes, a worktable, and a data processing system. During operation, they accurately collect contour data by rotating the workpiece or moving the probe. The data is then analyzed by software to generate a measurement report. They feature high measurement accuracy, convenient operation, and intuitive data, and are widely used in the quality inspection of precision parts such as bearings, shafts, and valve cores to ensure product assembly accuracy. For example, the utility model patent with announcement number CN222617891U discloses a roundness meter, including a base plate, a rotating groove in the middle of the top of the base plate, a rotating table rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove, and a support seat in the middle of the top of the rotating table. A spherical part is placed in the groove, and an air pump on the fixed seat works with an air supply pipe and a connecting pipe to draw air in. The bottom of the spherical part is adsorbed and fixed with a rubber suction cup, so as to facilitate its installation and fixation with the support seat, so that it will shake when the device rotates to measure roundness. However, the roundness tester probe uses a factory-installed protective cover for protection when not in use. The protective cover needs to be removed when in use, which cannot provide the maximum protection during operation. The protection range is limited. Furthermore, the existing roundness tester probe protective cover is made of one piece, and once damaged, the whole thing needs to be replaced, resulting in unnecessary material waste. Utility Model Content

Two symmetrically arranged protective covers each have a slider fixedly installed on their inner wall surface. The horizontal section of the slider is adapted to the annular groove, and the vertical section is adapted to the limiting groove. The horizontal section of the slider is slidably engaged with the annular groove, and the vertical section is slidably engaged with the limiting groove.

[0005] Preferably, the outer wall of the fixing head has two symmetrically opened positioning holes, and the shock-absorbing pad and the protective frame are each provided with a connection hole corresponding to the positioning hole. The outer wall of the protective frame is provided with a countersunk groove that is coaxially connected to the connection hole.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-5 A protective sleeve for a roundness meter probe includes a fixing head 1 and a probe 2, and also includes: Two symmetrically arranged protective frames 3, each with a shock-absorbing pad 4 fixedly installed on its inner wall, and symmetrically disassembled and installed on the outer wall of the fixing head 1; annular groove 5, which is opened around the outer wall of the two protective frames 3 after splicing. Several limiting grooves 6 are evenly distributed along the lower wall of the annular groove 5, and the several limiting grooves 6 are sequentially extended along the axial direction of the protective frame 3. Two symmetrically arranged protective covers 7 each have a slider 8 fixedly installed on their inner wall. The horizontal section of the slider 8 is adapted to the annular groove 5, and the vertical section is adapted to the limiting groove 6. The horizontal section of the slider 8 is in sliding fit with the annular groove 5, and the vertical section is in sliding fit with the limiting groove 6.

[0016] The outer wall of the fixed head 1 has two symmetrical positioning holes 9. The shock-absorbing pad 4 and the protective frame 3 are each provided with a connection hole 10 corresponding to the positioning hole 9. The outer wall of the protective frame 3 is provided with a countersunk groove 11 that is coaxially connected to the connection hole 10.

[0017] In use, the fixed head 1 provides the mounting base for the overall protective cover, and the probe 2 is the core detection component of the roundness meter; the two protective frames 3 are spliced ​​together to form a basic protective frame, and the shock-absorbing pads 4 on the inner wall can buffer the impact of external collisions and prevent the probe 2 from being damaged by vibration; the annular groove 5 provides a transverse sliding track for the slider 8, and the limiting groove 6 restricts the movement trajectory of the protective cover 7 by cooperating with the longitudinal section of the slider 8. Moreover, the design of the limiting groove 6 extending axially in sequence can adjust the coverage of the protective cover 7 according to the working requirements of the probe 2 to achieve different levels of protection and adapt to various roundness detection scenarios.

[0018] Please see Figure 4 A limiting pin 12 is slidably connected inside the positioning hole 9 and the connecting hole 10. A sliding piece 13 is slidably connected inside the limiting pin 12 along the axial direction. A return spring 14 is fixedly installed between the sliding piece 13 and the bottom wall of the limiting pin 12. A guide rod 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding piece 13 away from the bottom wall of the limiting pin 12. A screw head 16 is fixedly installed on the other end of the guide rod 15. The screw head 16 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the countersunk groove 11.

[0019] In use, the corresponding setting of positioning hole 9 and connecting hole 10 provides a precise positioning reference for the installation of protective frame 3 and fixing head 1, ensuring that the protective frame 3 is accurately positioned after installation and avoiding displacement that affects the protective effect on probe 2; countersunk groove 11 is coaxially connected with connecting hole 10, which can accommodate the head of fastener, prevent the fastener from protruding from the outer wall of protective frame 3, ensure that the outer wall of protective frame 3 is flat, and avoid interfering with the sliding operation of protective cover 7.

[0020] Please see Figure 4 The insertion end of the limiting pin 12 is provided with an assembly chamfer 17. In use, the assembly chamfer 17 can guide the limiting pin 12 to be quickly and smoothly inserted into the positioning hole 9 and the connecting hole 10, reducing the difficulty of alignment during assembly, avoiding wear caused by hard contact between the insertion end of the limiting pin 12 and the edges of the positioning hole 9 and the connecting hole 10, while improving the assembly efficiency of the protective frame 3 and reducing damage to the components during the assembly process.

[0021] Please see Figure 3 Each protective frame 3 has a plug-in block 18 fixedly installed at one end of its mating surface, and a plug-in groove 19 adapted to the plug-in block 18 is opened at the other end. Two protective frames 3 are spliced ​​together by the plug-in block 18 and the plug-in groove 19. The outer wall surface of the protective frame 3 is evenly provided with countersunk holes 20 for screw connection along the mating surface.

[0022] In use, the limiting pin 12 passes through the positioning hole 9 and the connecting hole 10 to achieve the initial connection between the protective frame 3 and the fixing head 1; the return spring 14 applies a continuous pushing force to the guide rod 15 through the slide plate 13, so that the threaded connection between the screw head 16 and the countersunk groove 11 is kept tight, preventing loosening due to long-term use or vibration; this structure enables the protective frame 3 to be detachably installed, and the limiting pin 12 can be removed by unscrewing the screw head 16, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance and replacement of the protective frame 3 or the shock-absorbing pad 4.

[0023] Please see Figure 5 Two protective covers 7 are symmetrically fixed with fixing plates 21 on their outer walls. Each fixing plate 21 has screw holes 22 that correspond to the countersunk holes 20 and are used for screw connection.

[0024] When in use, after the protective cover 7 is adjusted to a suitable protective position, the protective cover 7 and the protective frame 3 are firmly fixed by passing screws through the screw holes 22 of the fixing plate 21 and the countersunk holes 20 of the protective frame 3.

[0025] Please see Figure 5 Both the front and rear walls of the two protective covers 7 are provided with several anti-slip grooves 23 along their height direction. When in use, the anti-slip grooves 23 can increase the frictional resistance between the hand and the outer wall of the protective cover 7, making it easier for the staff to slide and adjust the position of the protective cover 7 or apply force when disassembling and assembling the fixing screws, avoiding the impact of hand slippage on operating efficiency. It is especially suitable for the narrow operating space in the roundness tester detection scenario, improving the overall convenience of operation.

[0026] Example 1: In this example, the basic protection of the probe is modularized by precisely splicing the protective frame 3, fixing it with the limit pin 12 to prevent loosening, and buffering it with the shock-absorbing pad 4. The corresponding parts can be replaced according to the damaged parts without replacing the whole thing, ensuring efficient disassembly and assembly for later maintenance.

[0027] Specifically, the two protective frames 3 are first joined together by connecting the plug-in block 18 on the mating surface to the plug-in slot 19, so that the shock-absorbing pad 4 on the inner wall is tightly attached to the outer wall of the fixing head 1.

[0028] After aligning the connection hole 10 between the protective frame 3 and the shock-absorbing pad 4 and the positioning hole 9 of the fixing head 1, use screws to initially pass through the countersunk hole 20 of the protective frame 3 to form a complete protective frame.

[0029] With the help of the assembly chamfer 17 of the insertion end of the limit pin 12, the limit pin 12 is inserted into the hole and then fixed by the threaded connection between the screw head 16 and the countersunk groove 11. The return spring 14 in the limit pin 12 pushes the slide 13 and the guide rod 15 to ensure that the screw head 16 is tightly connected and does not loosen.

[0030] Finally, tighten the screws that pass through the countersunk holes 20 in the protective frame 3 at the joint.

[0031] When in use, the shock-absorbing pad 4 can buffer the impact of external collisions and prevent the probe 2 from being damaged by vibration. When maintenance is required, the limit pin 12 can be removed by unscrewing the screw head 16, and the protective frame 3 can be disassembled for replacement. The operation is convenient.

[0032] Example 2: In this example, the protective cover 7 is adjusted by sliding and locked by screws to adapt the protection range to different testing scenarios, thus balancing the protection effect and the convenience of testing.

[0033] Specifically, according to the detection requirements of probe 2, force is applied to the anti-slip grooves 23 on the front and rear walls of the protective cover 7, so that the horizontal section of the slider 8 on the inner wall of the protective cover 7 slides along the annular groove 5 of the protective frame 3, and the vertical section moves along the limiting groove 6.

[0034] Select the corresponding length of the limiting groove 6 to stop. The design of the limiting groove 6 extending sequentially along the axial direction can accurately adjust the coverage of the protective cover 7 on the probe 2. During the test, adjust to the short limiting groove 6 to expose the working end of the probe 2. When idle, move it to the long limiting groove 6 to completely cover the probe 2.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
