Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of measuring devices, and in particular relates to a device for measuring the inner spherical diameter of a differential housing. Background Art
[0002] The automobile differential is the main part of the drive axle. Its function is to transmit power to the two half-axles while allowing the two half-axles to rotate at different speeds, so that the wheels on both sides can travel at unequal distances in a pure rolling form as much as possible, reducing the friction between the tires and the ground. The differential is indispensable in the automobile transmission power system, and the size and position requirements of the differential's mounting holes and spherical surfaces are particularly important.
[0003] During the machining process, a certain proportion of sampling inspection is required to control the machining accuracy of the workpiece. Since the differential housing workpiece is irregular, its inner cavity is generally a small mouth and a large belly, and the inner spherical surface is a discontinuous surface, which makes it difficult to measure the inner spherical diameter. The color method or sample comparison is often used for measurement. Due to the special detection position, it is difficult to put the inspection tool into the inner cavity opening. It requires high experience and operation skills, and the efficiency is low. It is impossible to obtain quantitative data, and can only approximately judge whether the part is qualified; using an internal diameter micrometer for measurement, it is necessary to repeatedly find the highest point of the inner spherical surface, and the data collection is evaluated by several points. The measured data is inaccurate, and the detection efficiency is low in actual operation; while using large laboratory equipment such as coordinate measuring machines for direct measurement, although quantitative data can be obtained, the coordinate measuring machine itself is a general-purpose equipment with a high price and a slow detection speed, which is not suitable for mass production processes and on-site inspections.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a device for measuring the spherical diameter of a differential housing comprises: a main body 1, a fixed end ball probe 2 is connected to the lower right side of the main body 1, a slot hole 18 is provided on the left side of the main body 1 and runs through the main body 1 from top to bottom, a horizontally arranged sliding shaft 8 is installed in the slot hole 18, two ends of the sliding shaft 8 are connected to two side surfaces of the main body 1, a sliding seat 9 is sleeved on the sliding shaft 8, a movable end ball probe 3 is connected to the bottom of the sliding seat 9, a small handle 5 is provided on the top of the sliding seat 9, a large handle 4 is provided on the top of the main body 1, and the position of the large handle 4 is consistent with the fixed end The positions of the ball probes 2 correspond to each other. A side of the sliding seat 9 away from the fixed-end ball probe 2 has a flat probe 13. The flat probe 13 contacts the measuring head of the micrometer 7. The spherical outer dimensions of the fixed-end ball probe 2 and the movable-end ball probe 3 are made according to the lower limit tolerance of the inner spherical surface of the workpiece to be measured, so as to ensure that when measuring, the probe rests against the highest point of the inner spherical surface of the workpiece without repeated searching, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of detection. The flat probe 13 is coaxial with the micrometer on the table frame. When measuring, the change in the diameter of the workpiece to be measured is transmitted to the micrometer through the flat probe.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment, a return spring 15 is mounted on the sliding shaft 8 of the sliding seat 9 close to the large handle 4, and the return spring 15 keeps the sliding seat 9 at the leftmost position.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the sliding shaft 8 is a spline shaft, and there is a ball spline 10 between the sliding seat 9 and the sliding shaft 8. The ball spline, the spline outer cylinder is installed in the positioning hole inside the sliding seat, and is fixed in the keyway of the ball spline outer cylinder through the tip set screw in the screw hole on the side of the sliding seat to limit its position in the sliding seat; the spline shaft inside it is installed in the positioning sleeve. Because the ball spline uses the balls installed in the spline to roll smoothly in the precision-ground rolling groove at the same time, it has a high sensitivity and positioning accuracy; the ball row combines the spline shaft with the spline bearing sleeve, and the preload method can be adjusted to make the clearance in the rotation direction zero, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the transmission accuracy; the two ball splines are used side by side up and down, which can provide a better guiding effect, ensuring that the sliding seat and the movable end ball probe do not deviate when moving, thereby further improving the detection accuracy.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the sliding shafts 8 are two vertically parallely arranged.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, a meter stand 12 is provided on the outer side of the main body 1 at a position corresponding to the flat probe 13 , and the meter stand 12 is used to install the micrometer 7 , and a clamping meter cover 14 is provided between the micrometer 7 and the meter stand 12 .

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the main body 1 has a dustproof plate on the top, and the dustproof plate has a avoidance groove 6 for the small handle 5 to move.
[0031] It should be noted that a reset spring 15 is provided on the outside of the sliding shaft 8, i.e., the spline shaft, wherein a positioning sleeve 11 is provided at the connection between the sliding shaft 8 and the main body 1, and the reset spring 15 is installed between the positioning sleeve 11 and the baffle, wherein the baffle is provided to prevent the reset spring 15 from contacting the spring ball spline 10. When the workpiece is placed in the inner cavity, the sliding seat 9 compresses the reset spring 15 under the drive of the small handle 5, and the movable end ball probe 3 is close to the fixed end ball probe 2, and the probe can be quickly placed through the opening of the workpiece inner cavity; when measuring, the small handle 5 is released, and under the action of the spring tension, the sliding seat 9 drives the ball probe to rest against the inner wall of the workpiece to complete the measurement. The use of two sets of springs can provide sufficient elastic force to ensure that the sliding seat 9 drives the movable end ball probe 3 to complete a large range of movement, and at the same time ensure that the force of the sliding seat 9 during the movement process is more balanced, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the inspection fixture.
