Abstract

An inner diameter measuring device for measuring a shape of an inner surface of a cylindrical member, comprising an image pickup unit ( 2 ) disposed on a base end side of a frame unit ( 10 ) and for picking up an image of a forward end side, a cone mirror unit ( 30 ) provided on a forward end side of the frame unit and having a cone mirror ( 29 ) with a conical reflection surface at a forward end, and a laser beam emitting unit ( 14 ) for emitting a laser beam ( 17 ) toward a forward end of the cone mirror, wherein the cone mirror unit can be replaced by another cone mirror unit having a cone mirror with a different vertical angle to suit measuring condition.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An inner diameter measuring device for measuring a shape of an inner surface of a cylindrical member, comprising an image pickup unit disposed on a base end side of a frame unit and for picking up an image of a forward end side, two or more cone mirror units provided on a forward end side of said frame unit, having a cone mirror with a conical reflection surface and a different vertical angle at a forward end, and a laser beam emitting unit for emitting a laser beam toward a forward end of said cone mirror, wherein said cone mirror unit is comprised of said cone mirror having a vertical angle corresponding to a measuring condition and a cone mirror holder which holds said cone mirror and has a fitting unit which is capable of fitting to the forward end side of said frame unit, wherein said cone mirror is mounted by fitting of said fitting unit on the forward end side of said frame unit, a center line of said cone mirror coincides with a center line of said laser beam emitting unit by the fitting of said fitting unit, and said laser beam is reflected at a predetermined angle with respect to the center line of said laser beam emitting unit by said cone mirror unit.

2. An inner diameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein said cone mirror unit has a cone mirror with a vertical angle of right angle.

3. An inner diameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein another cone mirror unit has a cone mirror with a vertical angle of acute angle or obtuse angle.

4. An inner diameter measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein another image pickup unit is provided on said cone mirror unit, and said another image pickup unit picks up an image of a base end side.

5. An inner diameter measuring device according to claim 2 , wherein another image pickup unit is provided on said cone mirror unit, and said another image pickup unit picks up an image of a base end side.
