Abstract

Disclosed is a system for shape error in-situ measurement of large-scale torus, which comprises an attitude adjusting part, a rotating part and a measuring part. The attitude adjusting part comprises an attitude adjusting platform, an attitude adjusting platform motor and an adapter panel, wherein the attitude adjusting platform can adjust the rotation angles along z-axis and x-axis, the angle adjusted is controlled by the attitude adjusting platform motor, and the attitude adjusting part is connected with the rotating part through the adapter panel; the rotating part comprises a rotating index plate base and a high-precision rotating index plate which is released from fixation by a lever for rotating, rotated manually for a required angle, and then fixed again by restoring the lever; the measuring part comprises a sensor clamp, sensor holders, contact sensors and associated equipment, wherein the sensor clamp is positioned with the rotating index plate by a mandrel and then fixed by two bolts and nuts; and the sensor clamp has four groups of sensor jacks in total, with at least three jacks in each group, and a sensor holder is installed in each sensor jack and used for fixing each sensor.

First claim

We claims:

1. A system for flatness on-line measurement of torus, characterized in that: the system for flatness on-line measurement of torus comprises an attitude adjusting part, a rotating part and a measuring part;
the attitude adjusting part comprises an attitude adjusting platform ( 5 ), an attitude adjusting platform motor ( 4 ) and an adapter panel ( 6 ); the attitude adjusting platform ( 5 ) is used for adjusting the rotation angles along z-axis and x-axis and is controlled by the attitude adjusting platform motor ( 4 ), and the attitude adjusting platform motor ( 4 ) is controlled by a controller; z-axis is the axis perpendicular to the plane of the attitude adjusting platform ( 5 ), and the angle adjusted is from 0° to 360°; x-axis is the axis perpendicular to the axis of the attitude adjusting platform motor ( 4 ), and the angle adjusted is from −30° to 30°; the bottom surface of the adapter panel ( 6 ) is connected to the top surface of the attitude adjusting platform ( 5 ), and the top surface of the adapter panel ( 6 ) is connected to a rotating index plate base ( 7 );
the rotating part comprises the rotating index plate base ( 7 ) and a rotating index plate ( 1 ); the main body of the rotating index plate base ( 7 ) is of a cubic frame structure with T-grooves in two side surfaces and bottom surface, and the T-grooves are connected with the adapter panel ( 6 ) by mating bolts and nuts; a gear on the rotating index plate ( 1 ) is engaged with a gear on the rotating index plate base ( 7 ); the top surface of the rotating index plate base ( 7 ) is provided with a lever, and the rotating index plate ( 1 ) can be driven to move forward by moving the lever forward to make the gear on the rotating index plate ( 1 ) engage with the gear on the rotating index plate base ( 7 ), can be rotated manually for a required angle, and then stuck and fixed again by restoring the lever to make the gear on the rotating index plate ( 1 ) disengage with the gear on the rotating index plate base ( 7 );
the minimum rotation angle of the rotating index plate ( 1 ) is 1°, the rotation precision is 10″, and the top surface of the rotating index plate ( 1 ) has a T-groove and a central hole; one side of the rotating index plate ( 1 ) is positioned with a mandrel of a sensor clamp ( 10 ) through the central hole and fixed by the T-groove and mating bolt and nut ( 2 ), and the other side is engaged with the gear on the rotating index plate base ( 7 ) through a gear;
the measuring part comprises the sensor clamp ( 10 ), sensor holders ( 9 ), contact sensors ( 8 ); the sensor clamp ( 10 ) is of a disk structure and has four groups of sensor jacks in total, two groups are single-row sensor jacks with three jacks in each group, and the other two groups are double-row sensor jacks with three jacks in each row and six jacks in each group; the position of the central jack in each row of sensor jacks is set to 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° respectively, and the angle between the central jack and the sensor jacks on both sides of the central jack is 10°; in each row, all the sensor jacks have equal distances to the disk center, but different rows have different distances to the disk center, and the distances from the sensor jacks to the disk center of the sensor clamp ( 10 ) is from 100 mm to 300 mm; the single-row sensor jacks are used for measuring the flatness of a flange surface on the centerline of the jacks, and the double-row sensor jacks are used for measuring the flatness on two axial sides of the jacks; a sensor holder ( 9 ) is installed in each sensor jack and used for fixing each contact sensor ( 8 ); and data measured by the contact sensors ( 8 ) is transmitted to the upper computer through an RS232 bus, and a Labview program is written in the upper computer to read and analyze the data.
