Research on the zero-calibration gauge device

Abstract

To meet the demand for the track's geometric parameter detection equipment for train speed and high-speed aerodynamics tests, a zero-calibration gauge device is designed with the centering limit, height adjustment and horizontal display function in this paper. The bending situation of the zero-calibration gauge is analyzed and the processing technology is studied, which ensures the rationality and realizability of the design of zero-calibration gauge. Then the gauge zero value and the parallelism of the working surface of zero-calibration gauge have been experimentally tested. The experimental results show that the parameter of gauge zero value is 1434.829 mm with a standard deviation of 1.4 μm. The parallelism of the two upper working surfaces is 1.1 μm, and the parallelism of the two inner working surfaces is 4 μm. Finally, the uncertainty evaluation of zero-calibration gauge is completed. The measurement uncertainty of gauge zero value is 12 μm and the measurement uncertainty of height difference is 6 μm.
