The present invention relates to a detecting device, and more particularly to a detecting device for detecting the straightness of a plate-like workpiece.

In the manufacturing process of information products such as desktop computers and portable electronic devices, it is necessary to detect the plate-like workpieces constituting the product casing. Among them, the detection of straightness has always been a difficult point in the detection. At the time of testing, the detection tool used is a three-dimensional or knife-edge ruler. For the three-dimensional element, the triggering principle is that the probe is triggered by force. The triggering force causes the workpiece, especially the thin-walled workpiece, to undergo large deformation under pressure. The deformation of the workpiece induced by such a detection tool can seriously affect the detection result. For the knife edge, it can only determine whether the workpiece is deformed, but the detection result is not quantified, and the amount of deformation cannot be known.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a detecting device that can quantify the detection result and can avoid deformation of the workpiece when detecting.

The stopper flange 793 of the detecting rod 79 serves to prevent the detecting rod 79 from being completely retracted into the receiving groove 764 of the holder 79 and coming off.

When the detecting device of the present invention is assembled, a reference member 30 is slidably sleeved through the through hole 310 of the body 31 to the slider 14 of the support frame 10, and the detecting unit 70 is slidably passed through the through hole 765 of the fixing frame 76. The slide bar 14 is sleeved on the slide bar 14 , and the other reference member 30 is slidably sleeved on the slide bar 14 through the through hole 310 of the body 31 , and the semi-cylindrical side of the second positioning body 39 of the two reference members 30 is disposed. The portions 396 are opposite each other, and the first positioning body 37 of the two reference members 30 and the contact head 798 of the detecting unit 70 are located on the same side of the slide bar 14.

In use, the two reference members 30 are fixed at a desired height by hand screws 33 depending on the size of the workpiece to be tested. In addition, the detecting unit 70 can be fixed at a certain height by means of a manual screw 763. The detecting device of the present invention can be used to detect the straightness of a plate-like workpiece or a workpiece having a hemming. Here, a method of using the detecting device of the present invention will be described by taking a rectangular plate-like workpiece 100 having a hem 101 (see Fig. 5) as an example.

Referring to FIG. 4, one embodiment of detecting the workpiece 100 using the detecting device of the present invention is to position the workpiece 100 using the first positioning body 37 of the two reference members 30, and then use the detecting unit 70 to detect the workpiece 100. The specific operation method is as follows.

Before the detection, the detecting unit 70 is calibrated so that the contact head 798 of the detecting rod 79 is collinear with the tip end 371 of the first positioning body 37 of the two reference members 30. At the time of adjustment, the amount of protrusion of the detecting rod 79 with respect to the fixing frame 76 can be adjusted by rotating the fine adjustment screw 80. After the adjustment, one side edge of the workpiece 100 is attached to the platform 12 to cause the workpiece 100 to stand up. The side of the workpiece 100 without the hem 101 is directed toward the tips 371 of the two first positioning bodies 37. The straight line where the tips 371 of the two first positioning bodies 37 are located forms the detected reference line, and the tips 371 of the two first positioning bodies 37 abut against the upper and lower edges of the workpiece 100, respectively. The workpiece 100 is supported to prevent it from falling over. The detecting unit 70 is slid along the slide bar 14. Since the detecting rod 79 is always under the elastic constraint of the spring 73, the contact head 798 of the detecting rod 79 is always in contact with the surface of the workpiece 100 and the amount of protrusion of the detecting rod 79 relative to the fixing frame 76 is undulating with the surface of the workpiece 100. And change. Since the crown 722 of the measuring table 72 is elastically stretchable and always abuts against the screw 77 fixed to the detecting rod 79, the crown 722 expands and contracts as the detecting rod 79 expands and contracts. Therefore, the amount of expansion and contraction of the crown 722 of the measuring table 72 can be expressed from the dial of the measuring table 72, so that the operator can know the offset of the measured point on the surface of the workpiece 100 with respect to the reference line, thereby knowing the workpiece 100. Straightness.

With continued reference to FIG. 5, another embodiment of positioning the workpiece 100 using the detecting device of the present invention is to position the workpiece 100 using the second positioning body 39 of the two reference members 30, and then use the detecting unit 70 to detect the workpiece 100. Before the test, a reference member 30 and the detecting unit 70 are detached and reinstalled to the sliding bar 14 so that the second positioning body 39 of the two reference members 30 and the contact head 798 of the detecting unit 70 are located at the same position of the sliding bar 14. side. The detecting unit 70 is calibrated such that the contact head 798 of the detecting rod 79 is collinear with the tip end 392 of the second positioning body 39 of the two reference members 30. A corner of the workpiece 100 is attached to the platform 12. The two corners of the side of the workpiece 100 on which the flange 101 is provided are respectively engaged on the cylindrical surfaces of the two second positioning bodies 39, and the tips 392 of the two second positioning bodies 39 are abutted against the corresponding faces of the workpiece 100. The straight line where the tips 392 of the two second positioning bodies 39 are located forms the detected reference line. Then, the measurement table 72 of the detecting unit 70 can be used to know the straightness of the surface of the workpiece 100 on the diagonal.

The tip end 371 of the first positioning body 37 and the tip end 392 of the second positioning body 39 should be as flat and thin as possible to reduce the contact area with the workpiece 100 while achieving the positioning reference, so that the tips 371, 392 abut. The amount of deformation of the workpiece 100 generated by the workpiece 100 is reduced as much as possible, thereby improving the accuracy in detecting the workpiece 100. The spherical design of the contact head 798 of the detecting unit 70 causes the contact head 798 to be in point contact with the workpiece 100 to ensure detection accuracy.

Since the two first positioning bodies 37 of the detecting device of the present invention are used independently of the two second positioning bodies 39. Therefore, in other embodiments, the first positioning body 37 or the second positioning body 39 on the two reference members 30 can be omitted.

In addition, the first positioning body 37 and the second positioning body 39 of the reference member 30 are designed to be detachable with respect to the body 31 in order to replace the first positioning body 37 and the second positioning body 39 to cope with different shapes. The inspection of the size of the workpiece is required.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law.
