Concentricity test device
View Patent ↗A test device for testing concentricity between first and second holes in parallel plates includes a positioning pole and a test pole. The positioning pole includes a head segment having a tapered positioning portion. The positioning pole axially defines a through hole. The test pole is telescopically received in the through hole of the positioning pole. The test pole includes a test head with a diameter slightly less than a diameter of the second hole. The positioning portion of the positioning pole extends into the first hole with the conic section of the positioning portion abutting against an inner wall bounding the first hole. The test head of the test pole faces the second plate and approaches and confirms the concentricity of the hole in the second plate by sliding the test pole relative to the positioning pole.
1. A concentricity test device to test whether a concentricity of a first hole defined in a first plate and a second hole defined in a second plate parallel to the first plate is eligible or not, the concentricity test device comprising:
a positioning pole comprising a head segment and an extension segment axially extending down from a bottom end of the head segment, the positioning pole axially defining a through hole extending through the head segment and the extension segment, the head segment comprising a tapered positioning portion arranged at a top end of the head segment, a diameter of a small end of the positioning portion being less than a diameter of the first hole, and a diameter of a large end of the positioning portion being greater than the diameter of the first hole, and a conic section between the small end and the large end being formed on the positioning portion; and
a test pole telescopically received in the through hole of the positioning pole and comprising a test head arranged at a top end of the test pole, the test head having a diameter slightly less than a diameter of the second hole of the second plate,
wherein the positioning portion of the positioning pole is operable of extending into the first hole from a side of the first plate opposite to the second plate, with the conic section of the positioning portion contacting with an inner wall bounding the first hole; the test head of the test pole is operable of moving toward the second hole of the second plate; if the test head can extend through the second hole, the concentricity of the first hole and the second hole is eligible; if the test head is stopped by the second plate, the concentricity of the first hole and the second hole is ineligible.
2. The concentricity test device of claim 1 , further comprising a sleeve axially defining a through hole, and a first resilient member received in the through hole of the sleeve, wherein the sleeve comprises a base surface facing upward at a top end of the sleeve and perpendicular to an axial direction of the sleeve, wherein the base surface of the sleeve is operable of abutting against the side of the first plate opposite to the second plate, the positioning pole extends through the through hole of the sleeve, the first resilient member biases the positioning pole upward.
3. The concentricity test device of claim 2 , wherein the sleeve comprises a stopping portion protruding on an inner wall of the sleeve adjacent to a bottom end of the sleeve; the positioning pole further comprises a shoulder formed at a junction of the head segment and the extension segment which has a diameter less than a diameter of the head segment; the first resilient member is placed around the extension segment of the positioning pole, opposite ends of the first resilient member respectively abut against the shoulder of the positioning pole and the stopping portion of the sleeve.
4. The concentricity test device of claim 2 , further comprising a clip, wherein the extension segment of the positioning pole defines a mounting groove adjacent to a bottom end of the extension segment, the clip is retained in the mounting groove.
5. The concentricity test device of claim 2 , wherein the sleeve further comprises an annular rim arranged at a top end of the sleeve, the base surface is formed on the annular rim.
6. The concentricity test device of claim 2 , wherein the test pole further comprises a shaft axially extending from a bottom end of the test head, a diameter of the test head is greater than a diameter of the through hole of the positioning pole, a diameter of the shaft is less than the diameter of the through hole of the positioning pole, the shaft is slidably received in the through hole of the positioning pole.
7. The concentricity test device of claim 6 , further comprising a second resilient member and a clip, wherein the shaft defines a mounting groove adjacent to a bottom end of the shaft, the clip is retained in the mounting groove of the shaft, the second resilient member is placed around the shaft and arranged between the clip and a bottom end of the extension segment of the positioning pole.
