Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of bearing measurement, and in particular relates to a bearing groove size measuring fixture and a measuring tool. Background Art

[0002] Bearings are often used in mechanical transmission shafts. During the bearing processing, in order to know the dimensional machining allowance of the bearing parts currently being processed, such as the groove machining allowance of deep groove ball bearings, it is necessary to measure the groove wall thickness of the deep groove ball bearings. When using a vernier caliper directly for measurement, the measuring jaws of the vernier caliper cannot adapt well to the groove, resulting in large measurement errors.

[0003] Therefore, in order to obtain the machining allowance of the bearing groove in the prior art, Figure 1 As shown, when using a vernier caliper to measure, a steel ball with a known diameter that matches the groove is usually placed in the bearing groove, and the ball wall thickness of the bearing groove is measured. The measured value is then subtracted from the known steel ball diameter and the remaining machining allowance in the measuring direction to obtain the machining allowance of the groove wall thickness.

[0004] However, in actual ball clamping measurement work, especially when there are a large number of parts to be measured, multiple trial clamping is often required due to the incompatibility of the steel ball size or the steel ball is difficult to clamp and control and is easy to fall, which greatly affects the measurement efficiency during ball clamping measurement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bearing groove size measuring tool to solve the technical problems in the prior art of low measurement efficiency caused by multiple trial clamping due to the mismatch of steel ball size or the difficulty in clamping and controlling the steel ball and its easy falling.

The measuring mechanism of the bearing groove size measuring tool is parallel to the main scale of the vernier caliper through the guide sleeve installed on the vernier caliper claw, and the measuring cylinder of the measuring mechanism is marked with a scale on the outside, so that a steel ball of a suitable size can be placed in the inner hole of the measuring cylinder and tightened in the bearing groove to be measured with a tightening body that can cooperate with the reading to take the reading. Finally, by subtracting the reading of the vernier caliper from the reading of the measuring mechanism and then subtracting the steel ball diameter and the processing allowance, the size from the bottom of the bearing groove to the inner diameter of the bearing can be obtained, making the measurement of the bearing groove wall thickness simple and efficient. The steel ball is placed in the inner hole of the measuring cylinder to prevent it from falling.

The steel ball is placed in the inner hole of the measuring cylinder to prevent it from falling.

[0056] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. That is, the embodiments described herein are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0057] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the examples.

[0058] Specific embodiment 1 of the measuring tool provided by the present invention:

[0059] The bearing groove size measuring tool provided in this embodiment innovatively measures the wall thickness of the bearing groove by using a bearing groove size measuring tool that cooperates with a vernier caliper 1, replacing direct ball clamping measurement, thereby avoiding the problem of low measurement efficiency caused by multiple trial clamping due to the mismatch of the steel ball 312 size during direct ball clamping measurement, and the lack of limit fixation of the steel ball 312, making it difficult to clamp and control it to prevent it from falling.

[0060] In this embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the bearing raceway dimension measurement tool includes a guide sleeve 2 and a measuring mechanism 3. The guide sleeve 2 is mounted on the fixed jaw of the vernier caliper 1, and the measuring mechanism 3 is parallel to the main scale of the vernier caliper 1 and movably cooperates with the guide sleeve 2. The measuring mechanism 3 is provided with a C-shaped measuring cylinder 31 with a scale on the outside at the end facing the movable jaw. A steel ball 312 is placed in the inner hole of the measuring cylinder 31 to prevent the steel ball 312 from falling. A top plate 311 is provided in the inner hole for pushing the steel ball 312 to contact the bearing raceway to be measured and coordinate the reading. One end of the top plate 311 is inserted through the C-shaped opening, further improving the stability of the steel ball 312 clamping and ensuring reliable contact between the steel ball 312 and the bearing raceway, preventing the steel ball 312 from rolling or misaligning, and further improving the efficiency of bearing raceway measurement. Since the measuring part of the measuring mechanism 3 is marked with scales, and the top plate 311 can be matched with the scale of the measuring tube 31 for reading, a steel ball 312 of appropriate size can be placed in the inner hole and pressed tightly against the bearing groove to be measured with the top plate 311 that can be matched with the reading to take readings. Finally, by subtracting the reading of the vernier caliper 1 from the reading of the measuring mechanism 3 and then subtracting the diameter of the steel ball 312 and the machining allowance, the size from the bottom of the bearing groove to the inner diameter of the bearing can be obtained, making the measurement of the bearing groove wall thickness simple and efficient.

[0061] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the guide sleeve 2 of the bearing raceway measuring tool is a combined structure consisting of an insert block 21, a fastening block 22, and a matching block 23, which makes it easy to disassemble and install it on the fixed jaw of the vernier caliper 1, thereby improving the loading and unloading flexibility of the bearing raceway size measuring tool so that it can be used for different measurement objects. When it is necessary to measure the bearing raceway size, it can be installed on the vernier caliper 1 for measurement, and the vernier caliper 1 can still be used for other measurement work at other times.

[0062] The insertion block 21 has a slot for the fixed claw to be inserted. A through-hole is also provided in the middle of the fixed claw after insertion, allowing the fastening block 22 to be inserted perpendicular to the slot and securely fasten the fixed claw to the insertion block 21. The fastening block 22 has outer dimensions that match the through-hole and inner dimensions that match the fixed claw. Threaded holes in the fastening block allow for bolt connection, securing the fixed claw from both sides. The overall structure is simple and compact, making assembly and disassembly easy.

[0063] Mating blocks 23 are threadedly connected to both sides of the mounting block 21. These blocks are provided with multiple equally spaced V-shaped grooves parallel to the main scale of the vernier caliper 1. Ribs that align with the V-shaped grooves are provided on the upper and lower edges of the mating portion in the center of the measuring mechanism 3. These two ridges form a guide rail and guide groove structure. The combination of these two ridges allows the measuring mechanism 3 to slide parallel to the scale of the vernier caliper 1 on the mounting block. The structure is relatively simple and compact, making it easy to manufacture. This ensures stable and smooth parallel sliding, facilitates maintaining a parallel state, and provides a good guiding effect. The mating portion of the measuring mechanism 3 can slide with any two equally spaced grooves on the mating block 23. When the bearing thickness to be measured is too large, the groove closer to the bottom can be selected, while when the thickness is smaller, the groove closer to the top can be selected. This allows the ridges of the mating portion 32 of the measuring mechanism 3 to mate with grooves of different heights, thereby adapting to bearings of varying thicknesses and improving the flexibility and applicability of the bearing groove sizing tool.

[0064] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, circular holes are provided on both sides of the mating part 32 of the measuring mechanism 3 to facilitate its installation and connection with the mating block 23 from the other side of the fixed claw, thereby preventing the measuring mechanism 3 from falling during the measurement process, and a counterweight 33 is provided on the side of the measuring mechanism 3 away from the fixed claw to further maintain the balance and stability during parallel sliding and improve the measurement efficiency.

[0065] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, the measuring cylinder 31 of the measuring mechanism 3 is a C-shaped cylinder composed of a split and detachable structure. The segments of the measuring cylinder 31 are connected by threads. The number of steel balls 312 corresponds to the number of segments of the measuring cylinder 31, so that its maximum measurement limit can be specifically adjusted, which facilitates the bearing groove size measurement tool to adapt to bearings of different diameter specifications and improves the applicability of the bearing groove size measurement tool. The C-shaped opening provides avoidance for the sliding of the top plate 311, facilitating the sliding of the top plate 311.

[0066] At the same time, the inner hole is tapered, with the diameter gradually decreasing toward the movable jaw, to accommodate steel balls 312 of different sizes. The inner hole outlet of each segment of the measuring tube end 313 corresponds to steel balls 312 of different diameters, allowing steel balls 312 of that size to be exposed and contact the measured channel. In addition, the measuring tube end 313 is convex, with the outlet located at the center of the convex surface and the outlet diameter smaller than the diameter of the steel ball 312. This allows the use of steel balls 312 of different sizes to measure bearings with different channel widths or depths, further improving the flexibility and applicability of the bearing channel size measurement tool and further enhancing measurement accuracy. If the opening diameter is smaller than the steel ball 312, the movement of the steel ball 312 within the inner hole is limited, preventing the steel ball 312 from being excessively pushed out of the inner hole, thereby improving measurement efficiency. Therefore, when the diameter of the steel ball 312 is small, the measuring tube 31 can be extended by increasing the number of measuring units while the outlet is reduced. Continuous adjustment can ensure that even small-diameter steel balls 312 are reliably fixed to the outlet, allowing for smooth measurement.

[0067] In this embodiment, the inner hole top plate 311 of the measuring cylinder 31 is provided with a locking structure composed of a top screw or a retaining spring between the measuring cylinder 31, which is used to reliably fix the steel ball 312 in the groove of the bearing 4 to be measured during measurement. Its structure is simple and compact, which is convenient for tightening the steel ball 312 during measurement operation, and has low production cost. One side of the top plate 311 that pushes the steel ball 312 is a circular arc edge with the vertex of the circular arc edge located on the center line of the inner hole, while the other side is a straight edge. The straight edge is used to cooperate with the scale of the measuring cylinder 31, realizing the use of the top plate 311 reading during measurement. The circular arc edge not only ensures that the steel ball 312 is tangent to the edge of the top plate 311 for stable contact, but also saves space on the top plate 311, avoids the ineffective area of ​​the top plate 311, and simplifies its structure. The straight edge effectively ensures the convenience and accuracy of the measurement reading. The contact position between the top plate and the steel ball is fixed, which is convenient for conversion.

[0068] like Figure 2 、 Figure 9 As shown, when using this bearing groove dimension measuring tool for measurement, first adjust the measuring mechanism 3 to the appropriate height of the guide sleeve 2 according to the width of the bearing 4 to be measured. Then, select a steel ball 312 of appropriate size based on the groove dimension of the bearing 4 to be measured and place it into the inner hole of the measuring mechanism 3 so that it can protrude from the end of the measuring cylinder 31 under the pressure of the top plate 311. Then, place the bearing 4 to be measured in the fixed jaws of the vernier caliper 1, and ensure that the steel ball 312 is in stable and reliable contact with the groove of the bearing 4 to be measured. Therefore, the width dimension of the top plate 311 and the diameter of the steel ball 312 are known. Then, the reading of the vernier caliper 1 and the reading of the measuring cylinder 31 based on the straight edge of the top plate 311 are read. The width dimension of the top plate 311, the diameter of the steel ball 312, the reading of the measuring cylinder 31 based on the straight edge of the top plate 311, and the machining allowance of the groove of the bearing 4 to be measured are subtracted from the reading of the vernier caliper 1. The groove wall thickness dimension of the bearing 4 to be measured can be determined.

[0069] Specific embodiment 2 of the bearing groove size measuring tool provided by the present invention:

[0070] In the embodiment 1 of the bearing groove dimension measuring tool of the present invention, the top plate 311 is provided with a locking structure, which is a top screw or a retaining spring. In this embodiment, the locking structure can also be replaced with a sliding damping structure similar to that on the vernier of the vernier caliper 1.

[0071] Specific embodiment 3 of the bearing groove size measuring tool provided by the present invention:

[0072] In Example 1 of the bearing raceway dimension measuring tool of the present invention, one side of the top plate 311 used to push the steel ball 312 has an arc-shaped edge, the vertex of which is located on the centerline of the inner hole of the measuring cylinder. The reading structure of the top plate 311 is a straight edge perpendicular to the axis of the measuring cylinder 31. In this embodiment, the top plate 311 can also have both sides with arc-shaped edges, both with straight edges, or other structures that can stably push the steel ball 312 and facilitate reading.

[0073] Specific embodiment 4 of the bearing groove size measuring tool provided by the present invention:

[0074] In Example 1 of the bearing groove dimension measuring tool of the present invention, the diameter of steel ball 31 is larger than the diameter of the inner hole outlet of measuring cylinder 31. In this embodiment, the outlet diameter can also be equal to the diameter of steel ball 312, which can also prevent steel ball 312 from falling out of directions other than one side of the bearing. During measurement, the bearing presses against steel ball 312 to prevent it from falling out. After measurement, steel ball 312 can be directly removed from the outlet.

[0075] Specific embodiment 5 of the bearing groove size measuring tool provided by the present invention:

[0076] In the first embodiment of the bearing raceway dimension measuring tool of the present invention, the inner hole is a smooth tapered hole. In this embodiment, the inner hole can also be a stepped hole.

[0077] Specific embodiment 6 of the bearing groove size measuring tool provided by the present invention:

[0078] In Example 1 of the bearing raceway dimension measuring tool of the present invention, the guide sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed jaw of the vernier caliper 1. A guide structure is provided between the measuring mechanism 3 and the guide sleeve 2, which is used to slide the measuring mechanism 3 parallel to the body of the vernier caliper 1.
