[0002] In the automotive industry as a whole, the market has increasingly higher requirements for the precision, quality and other performance of differentials. Among them, the clearance of the half-shaft gear is a key control indicator. This is because a reasonable clearance can ensure smooth power transmission and reduce frictional resistance. Excessive clearance may lead to abnormal noises, increased jerking, and even affect steering control. Conversely, insufficient clearance may cause excessive friction, resulting in power loss and increased handling resistance.
[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for detecting the clearance of axle gears in the industry: one is to use feeler gauges to measure the clearance between the axle gear and the planetary gear. This method is cumbersome to operate, cannot be read directly, has a large error, and is labor-intensive; the other is to use dedicated testing equipment, which has a high degree of automation and stable testing quality, but the investment cost is high.

[0018] It should be noted that in this solution, the button box is used to house the operation buttons. The connection between the operation buttons and the control circuit and air circuit is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0019] The specific operation process of this utility model structure is as follows: After the operator places the differential on the lower positioning seat 44, they press the start button. The locking clamping cylinder 16 in the clamping mechanism 5 moves downward, driving the upper positioning component 3 to clamp the differential under test. At the same time, it drives the opening mechanism 7 to extend into the inner hole of the differential half-shaft gear 200. When the magnetic switch on the locking clamping cylinder 16 detects the signal that the pressure has reached the target position (the setting and working principle of the magnetic switch are existing technology and will not be described in detail; it can also be operated by manual observation), the thrust reset cylinder 22 in the thrust reset mechanism 6 begins to move downward. The thrust reset cylinder 22 pushes the spindle 29 in the opening mechanism 7 downward. The downward movement of the spindle 29 causes the outer conical surface of the conical sleeve 34 to contact the inner conical surface of the lower end of the tensioning sleeve 28. The tensioning sleeve 28 is deformed and expanded by the vertical opening at the lower end of the tensioning sleeve 28, so that the cylindrical surface of the tensioning sleeve 28 and the inner hole of the half-shaft gear 200 are fitted together and tightened. When the magnetic switch on the thrust reset cylinder 22 detects the signal of the pressure being in place, the extension button of the pull cylinder 39 is pressed, so that its piston rod extends. The expansion mechanism 7 drives the half-shaft gear 200 to move downward. The extension of the pull cylinder 39 makes the upper end face of the push rod support 23 contact the lower side of the digital display dial indicator 42. At this time, the reading on the digital display dial indicator 42 is read and recorded. Then, the retraction button of the pull cylinder 39 is pressed, and the expansion mechanism 7 drives the half-shaft gear 200 to move upward. The reading on the digital display dial indicator 42 is read and recorded again.
[0020] The difference between the two readings of the digital dial indicator 42 is the clearance between the half-shaft gear 200 and the planetary gear 300 that needs to be measured. Then, press the stop button, and the thrust reset cylinder 22 in the thrust reset mechanism 6 begins to move upward. The outer conical surface of the conical sleeve 34 separates from the inner conical surface of the lower end of the tension sleeve 28. The vertical opening at the lower end of the tension sleeve 28 retracts and separates from the cylindrical surface of the inner hole of the half-shaft gear 200. The locking clamping cylinder 16 moves upward, driving the upper positioning component 3 to release the differential under test. Then, the differential is manually flipped, and the clearance of the half-shaft gear on the other end is tested according to the above steps.

A thrust reset cylinder is provided on the second cylinder mounting plate, passing through a positioning hole on the second cylinder mounting plate. The piston rod of the thrust reset cylinder is connected to the connecting rod at the lower end. A push rod support is provided at the upper end of the thrust reset cylinder, and a reset spring is sleeved on the cylindrical rod of the push rod support. The expansion mechanism includes a tensioning sleeve, inside which is a mandrel. A sliding sleeve is fitted on the upper outer diameter of the mandrel, and the sliding sleeve is axially slidably engaged with both the outer diameter of the mandrel and the inner diameter of the tensioning sleeve. A compression spring is fitted on the lower part of the mandrel, and a limit ring is provided at the lower end of the compression spring. A tapered sleeve is provided at the lower end of the limit ring, and an open-ended ring is provided at the lower end of the tapered sleeve. The open-ended ring has a split structure and is engaged in a groove at the lower end of the mandrel. A fixing block is provided on the lower end face of the mandrel. A limiting pin passes through a groove hole on the tensioning sleeve and the mandrel. The measuring mechanism includes a digital dial indicator, which is clamped and fixed in a dial indicator mounting base. A C-shaped base is provided at the lower end of the dial indicator mounting base, and support bases are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the C-shaped base. A pull-out cylinder is provided at the upper end of the support base. The pull-out cylinder passes through a positioning hole on the support base, and the piston rod of the pull-out cylinder is connected to a pull rod. The pull rod cooperates with a double-ear pull plate. The lower positioning component includes a lower tire fixing seat, which is screwed to the working surface of the base of the pressing mechanism. A lower positioning seat is provided at the upper end of the lower tire fixing seat. The lower end stop of the lower positioning seat is matched with the inner hole of the lower tire fixing seat. A first pull pin mounting block is symmetrically provided on both sides of the lower positioning seat. The first pull pin mounting block is screwed and fixed to the upper end of the lower tire fixing seat. A self-locking pull pin is provided on the first pull pin mounting block. The upper positioning component includes an upper tire fixing seat, and the lower end of the upper tire fixing seat is parallel to the horizontal plane of the T-shaped mounting plate of the pressing mechanism. The upper tire fixing seat is fixed by screw thread. An upper positioning seat is provided at the lower end of the upper tire fixing seat. The upper end stop of the upper positioning seat is matched with the inner hole of the upper tire fixing seat. Second pull pin mounting blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper positioning seat. The second pull pin mounting blocks are screwed and fixed on both sides of the upper tire fixing seat. A self-locking pull pin is provided on the second pull pin mounting block.
