Embodiment 1

Refer to FIG. 1a, the present application discloses a schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of a tool for measuring a parallelism and coaxiality of a rotating shaft of shoulder joint 53 of a crash dummy. The measuring tool includes:

    • a support base plate 18, as a basic load-bearing component of the measuring tool, for bearing devices required for measurement. A support platform 13 for bearing the rotating shaft of shoulder joint 53 is disposed on the support base plate 18. As shown in FIG. 1a, a width direction of the support platform 13 is parallel to that of the support base plate 18, and a length direction of the support platform 13 is parallel to that of the support base plate 18. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the rotating shaft of shoulder joint 53 includes a base 38, a mounting platform 39 is disposed on the base 38, and a first side plate 40 and a second side plate 27 are disposed on a side, away from the base 38, of the mounting platform 39. Here, the rotating shaft of shoulder joint 53 has an integrally formed structure. For ease of description, the rotating shaft of shoulder joint 53 is divided into a base 38, a mounting platform 39, a first side plate 40, and a second side plate 27.


A clamping assembly 41 for clamping the base 38 to prevent the rotating shaft of shoulder joint 53 from moving on the support platform 13 during measurement to affect the accuracy of measurement. As shown in FIG. 1c, the clamping assembly 41 includes a first support seat 9 disposed on the support base plate 18, and a first V-shaped block 5 and a second V-shaped block 6 connected to the first support seat 9 through an adjusting member 42. An accommodating space 5a is formed between the first V-shaped block 5 and the second V-shaped block 6 to accommodate the base 38. When the adjusting member 42 rotates relative to the first support seat 9, the first V-shaped block 5 and the second V-shaped block 6 are driven to approach each other, so as to clamp the base 38.


As shown in FIG. 1b, the adjusting member 42 includes:

    • an adjusting bolt 11 rotatably connected to the first support seat 9, where the adjusting bolt 11 has a first threaded segment 11a and a second threaded segment 11b with opposite rotation directions;
    • a first moving member 43 having a first threaded hole 43a, where the first threaded hole 43a is sleeved on the first threaded segment 11a, and the first V-shaped block 5 is disposed on the first moving member 43; and
    • a second moving member 44 having a second threaded hole 44a, where the second threaded hole 44a is sleeved on the second threaded segment 11b, and the second V-shaped block 6 is disposed on the second moving member 44.


When the adjusting bolt 11 rotates, the first moving member 43 and the second moving member 44 move along the adjusting bolt 11. Due to the opposite rotation directions of the first threaded segment 11a and the second threaded segment 11b, the first moving member 43 and the second moving member 44 can approach or move away from each other when the adjusting bolt 11 rotates, to drive the corresponding first V-shaped block 5 and second V-shaped block 6 to approach or move away from each other, and to change the size of the accommodating space 5a, thereby achieving a purpose of clamping or loosening the base 38.

Similarly, the end, near the support base plate 18, of the second support seat 10 has a width and can be in contact with the surface of the support base plate 18. When the adjusting bolt 11 rotates, the third support seat 12 and the second support seat 10 abut against the surface of the support base plate 18, the third support seat 12 and the second support seat 10 are limited in an axial direction of the adjusting bolt 11 to prevent the first moving member 43 and the second moving member 44 from rotating with the adjusting bolt 11, and the first moving member 43 and the second moving member 44 convert rotating force into horizontal moving force, so as to drive the first V-shaped block 5 and the second V-shaped block 6 to move.

As shown in FIG. 8, the measuring method includes the following steps:

    • S10. The moving unit 46 drives the measuring unit 48 to move, and the first measuring end 3a measures real-time distances between the first measuring end 3a and sampling points on the first side plate 40 to obtain a plurality of first distances; the first measuring end 3a measures real-time distances between the first measuring end 3a and sampling points on the second side plate 27 to obtain a plurality of second distances; and simultaneously, the second measuring end 16a measures real-time distances between the second measuring end 16a and sampling points on the first side plate 40 or the second side plate 27 to obtain a plurality of third distances; the third measuring end 23a measures real-time distances between the third measuring end 23a and sampling points on the second side plate 27 or the first side plate 40 to obtain a plurality of fourth distances; and position information of the first measuring end 3a, the second measuring end 16a, and the third measuring end 23a are collected in real time;
    • Specifically, the first distances are real-time distances measured between the first measuring end 3a and the first side plate 40 when the first measuring end 3a moves along the first sliding platform 4 and the first lifting guide rail 2 under the action of the first lifting guide rail 2 and the first driving member 1;
    • The second distances are real-time distances measured between the first measuring end 3a and the second side plate 27 when the first measuring end 3a moves along the first sliding platform 4 and the first lifting guide rail 2 and passes through a first opening 40a of the first side plate 40 under the action of the first lifting guide rail 2 and the first driving member 1;
    • The third distances are real-time distances measured between the second measuring end 16a and the first side plate 40 or the second side plate 27 when the second measuring end 16a moves along the second sliding platform 17, the second lifting guide rail 15, and the slide rail 24 under the action of the second lifting guide rail 15, the second driving member 14, and the third driving member 47; and
    • The fourth distances are real-time distances measured between the third measuring end 23a and the second side plate 27 or the first side plate 40 when the third measuring end 23a moves along the second sliding platform 17, the second lifting guide rail 15, and the slide rail 24 under the action of the second lifting guide rail 15, the second driving member 14, and the third driving member 47.


The real-time position information of the first measuring end 3a, the second measuring end 16a, and the third measuring end 23a can be collected by a controller in real time. Specifically, the controller is in communication connection with the driving cylinder on the first sliding platform 4, the driving cylinder on the second sliding platform 17, the first driving member 1, the second driving member 14, and the third driving member 47. The controller controls the distance of each movement of the above driving devices, and the corresponding position information of the first measuring end 3a, the second measuring end 16a, and the third measuring end 23a can be obtained.


The corresponding position information of the first measuring end 3a during each measurement includes a distance at which the corresponding driving cylinder drives the first lifting guide rail 2 to move along the first sliding platform 4, and a distance at which the first driving member 1 drives the first mounting plate 21 to move.


Both the second measuring end 16a and the third measuring end 23a are mounted on the slider 24a, so the two have the same position information, including a distance at which the corresponding driving cylinder drives the second lifting guide rail 15 to move along the second sliding platform 17, a distance at which the second driving member 14 drives the second mounting plate 22 to move, and a distance at which the third driving member 47 drives the slider 24a to move.


In addition, the first measuring end 3a, the second measuring end 16a, and the third measuring end 23a all measure a distance per set duration. Here, the set duration and the distance of each movement can be set according to actual needs. After a period of time, the measured distance data and position information can be transmitted to the controller, the controller performs subsequent processing and computation according to the distance data and position information, and data that can determine the coaxiality and parallelism are ultimately obtained.


Here, the type of the controller is, for example, an MY-26A PLC.


S20. Obtain a global coordinate system and a local coordinate system.


Specifically, obtaining a global coordinate system and a local coordinate system specifically includes the following steps:


As shown in FIG. 9, the global coordinate system is built with a center position of the support base plate 18 as an origin, namely, an O point (0, 0, 0) in the figure, an extension line passing through the center position of the support base plate 18 and parallel to the width direction of the support base plate 18 as an X axis, an extension line passing through the center position of the support base plate 18 and parallel to the length direction of the support base plate 18 as a Y axis, and an extension line passing through the center position of the support base plate 18 and perpendicular to the surface of the support base plate 18 as a Z axis.


As shown in FIG. 10, the local coordinate system is built with a center position of an upper surface of the support platform 13 as an origin, namely, an O′ point (0, 0, 0) in the figure, an extension line passing through the center position of the upper surface of the support platform 13 and parallel to the width direction of the support platform 13 as an X axis, an extension line passing through the center position of the upper surface of the support platform 13 and parallel to the length direction of the support platform 13 as a Y axis, and an extension line passing through the center position of the upper surface of the support platform 13 and perpendicular to the upper surface of the support base plate 18 as a Z axis.


S30. In the global coordinate system, obtain at least three first edge points corresponding to the first distance and at least three second edge points corresponding to the second distance.


Specifically, the first edge points refer to points located on an edge of the first opening 40a of the first side plate 40; and the second edge points refer to points located on an edge of a second opening 27a of the second side plate 27.


Correspondingly, in the global coordinate system, the coordinates of each device are known, the coordinates of the first edge points can be obtained according to the first distance corresponding to the first edge points and the position information, and the coordinates of the second edge points can be obtained according to the second distance corresponding to the second edge points and the position information.


S40. Compute a first center coordinate point of the first opening 40a of the first side plate 40 according to the first edge points, and a second center coordinate point of the second opening 27a of the second side plate 27 according to the second edge points.


For example, the first opening 40a is regarded as a large circle and the second opening 27a is regarded as a small circle. The three first edge points are coordinate points on the large circle, the three second edge points are coordinate points on the small circle, and the corresponding center coordinate point is computed according to the three coordinate points on the circle, where the first center coordinate point is (xi, yi, zi), and the second center coordinate point is (xi′, yi′, zi′).


S50. Compute a coaxiality difference according to the first center coordinate point and the second center coordinate point.


The coaxiality difference is computed according to the following formula:

li=√{square root over ((xi−xi′)2+(yi−yi′)2)}.


Where li is the coaxiality difference; and i is the number of selections of the first edge points and the second edge points.


The above process involves selecting the first edge points and the second edge points once and computating the coaxiality difference. Alternatively, different first edge points and second edge points may be selected multiple times, a plurality of coaxiality differences are computed, and a maximum value of all the coaxiality differences is selected and compared with a coaxiality tolerance range.


S60. In the local coordinate system, obtain at least three first coordinate points corresponding to the third distance and located on the first side plate 40 or the second side plate 27, and at least three second coordinate points corresponding to the fourth distance and located on the second side plate 27 or the first side plate 40.


S70. Convert the first coordinate points and the second coordinate points into coordinate points in the global coordinate system to obtain third coordinate points and fourth coordinate points.


S80. Compute a normal vector relationship value of the first side plate 40 and the second side plate 27 according to the third coordinate points and the fourth coordinate points.


Further, after obtaining third coordinate points and fourth coordinate points and before computing a normal vector relationship value of the first side plate 40 and the second side plate 27, the method further includes the following steps:

    • measurement coordinate vectors and measurement errors of verification points in the global coordinate system and the local coordinate system are obtained, where the verification points include coordinates of any four points of the support platform 13 in the global coordinate system and the local coordinate system, and the any four points are the first coordinate points, the second coordinate points, the third coordinate points, and the fourth coordinate points.


For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the points selected on the support platform 13 are B, P, M, and N. The coordinates of the four points are known in both the global coordinate system and the local coordinate system.


Taking point P as an example, the coordinates of point P are set as (x, y, z) in the global coordinate system and (x′, y′, z′) in the local coordinate system; {right arrow over (OP)}=x·{right arrow over (i)}+y·{right arrow over (j)}+z·{right arrow over (k)}; and {right arrow over (OO)}′=m·{right arrow over (i)}′+n·{right arrow over (j)}′+s·k′.


Where ī, j, and k are unit vectors in the X, Y, and Z directions of the global coordinate system, respectively; ī′, j′, and k′ are unit vectors in the X, Y, and Z directions of the local coordinate system, respectively; and the coordinates of O′ in the global coordinate system are (m, n, s).


Correspondingly, corresponding relationships between the coordinate axes of the global coordinate system and the local coordinate system are as follows:

{right arrow over (i)}′=u11·{right arrow over (i)}+u12·{right arrow over (j)}+u13·{right arrow over (k)};
{right arrow over (j)}′=u21·{right arrow over (i)}+u22·{right arrow over (j)}+u23·{right arrow over (k)};
{right arrow over (k)}′=u31·{right arrow over (i)}+u32·{right arrow over (j)}+u33·{right arrow over (k)};


A computational formula for an O′P vector of point P in the local coordinate system is as follows:

{right arrow over (O′P)}=x′·{right arrow over (i)}′+y′·{right arrow over (j)}′+z′·{right arrow over (k)}′;


According to the above corresponding relationships between the coordinate axes, a computational formula for collating the O′P vector is as follows:

{right arrow over (O′P)}=x′·(u11·{right arrow over (i)}+u12·{right arrow over (j)}+u13·{right arrow over (k)})+y′·(u21·{right arrow over (i)}+u22·{right arrow over (j)}+u23·{right arrow over (k)})+z′·(u31·{right arrow over (i)}+u32·{right arrow over (j)}+u33·{right arrow over (k)})==(x′·u11+y′·u21+z′·u31)·(x′·u12+y′·u22+z′·u32{right arrow over (j)}+(x′·u13+y′·u23+z′·u33{right arrow over (k)};


Due to {right arrow over (OP)}={right arrow over (OO)}′+{right arrow over (O′P)}, correspondingly,
