Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of measuring tools for ball sockets of the main shaft of a bent axis hydraulic motor pump, and provides a position measuring tool for the ball sockets of the main shaft of a bent axis hydraulic motor pump and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The end face of the main shaft of the bent axis hydraulic motor pump has a central ball socket and multiple side ball sockets surrounding the central ball socket. The central ball socket and the side ball socket have the same diameter. The position accuracy of the side ball socket relative to the central ball socket (referred to as the main shaft ball socket position accuracy) is very high and is directly related to the performance and life of the bent axis hydraulic motor pump. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the main shaft ball socket position accuracy to avoid using a main shaft with unqualified main shaft ball socket position accuracy to assemble the bent axis hydraulic motor pump.
[0003] Currently, three-coordinate measuring instruments are used for testing. The three-coordinate measuring instrument is used to measure the position of the side sockets relative to the center socket. However, as a precision measuring instrument, the three-coordinate measuring instrument has very high equipment costs. Secondly, it has very high requirements for the use environment, which are mainly reflected in the following three points: First, to ensure accurate measurement, a special measuring room is required, and the indoor temperature must be kept constant at 22℃±2℃; second, compressed air with stable air pressure is used during measurement, and the compressed air must be above 0.4MPa for measurement, and the compressed air must be filtered of water and oil; third, the measurement room must be noise-free and dust-free. This leads to a high cost for the use of three-coordinate measuring instruments.
[0004] Therefore, the existing three-coordinate system for measuring the spindle ball and socket position has the disadvantages of high equipment cost and high usage cost. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a spindle ball socket position measuring tool. The present invention has the advantages of low equipment cost and low use cost, and is helpful to improve the spindle yield.

[0031] A fifth through hole is defined in the middle of the ball lever 105, within which a pin 108 is disposed. Threaded tips 109 are provided on both sides of the ball lever 105. The tips of the threaded tips 109 abut against the pin 108, and the ends of the pin 108 are provided with recessed holes that mate with the tips of the threaded tips 109. The tail end of the threaded tips 109 passes through the upper base 110, and a nut 115 is provided at the tail end of the threaded tips 109. The threaded tips 109 are made of HB1999-89 M6X30 (material T8A HRC58-62) for long service life and wear resistance.
[0032] The axial distance between the pin shaft 108 and the second ball head 106 is equal to the axial distance between the pin shaft 108 and the dial indicator hole 113 .
[0033] A spring washer 116 is provided between the nut 115 and the upper base 110 .
[0034] A blind hole 117 for accommodating a spring 107 is provided on the bottom surface of the through slot 104 . A cylindrical pin 118 connected to the ball lever 105 is provided in the spring 107 .

The flat surfaces 119 are used to reduce the contact area between the second ball head 106 and the side ball socket, thereby improving measurement accuracy.
[0036] An elastic bushing 120 is provided in the dial indicator hole 113 , and the elastic bushing 120 is made of a soft material such as silicone.
[0037] The positioning ball rod 102 and ball lever 105 are both made of T10A, with a hardness of HRC 58-65, to extend their service life. The pin 108 is made of HB2009-89 6X12 (material T8A, HRC 58-62), which is long-lasting and wear-resistant. The upper base 110 and lower base 100 are both made of 45 steel, with a hardness of HRC 35-40.
[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the counter-watch component includes a base plate 200, which is provided with a third through-hole 201 and a fourth through-hole 202. The distance between the third through-hole 201 and the fourth through-hole 202 is the designed center-to-center distance between the center ball socket and the side ball socket. The tops of the third through-hole 201 and the fourth through-hole 202 are each provided with a tapered surface 203. The taper of the tapered surface 203 is 56°. The counter-watch component is made of CrMn with a hardness of HRC 58-65, and is required to be durable and low in deformation.
[0039] Two spheres with the same diameter are placed on the two conical surfaces 203 respectively. The spheres are in contact with the conical surfaces. The height error of the two spheres is required to be within 0.01mm. The diameter of the sphere is the same as the diameter of the center ball socket. The conical surface 203 is processed and polished by precision grinding, with a roughness of 0.1mm. The upper and lower surfaces of the watch are processed by precision grinding. For ease of processing, the top surface of the watch is 1.4mm lower than the center of the sphere, and the roughness of the upper and lower surfaces is guaranteed to be 0.2mm. The lower surface is the positioning reference for measurement and processing. During the manufacturing process, the upper and lower surfaces are each other's processing references. The center distance between the two conical surfaces is the center distance between the side ball socket and the center ball socket. The center distance tolerance of the two conical surfaces is 1 / 10 of the spindle ball socket position requirement.
[0040] The method of using the spindle ball and socket position measuring tool includes the following steps:
[0041] a. Place the dial indicator into the elastic bushing 120, insert the dial indicator probe into the second through hole 111, and turn the bolt 114. The bolt 114 compresses the elastic bushing 120 to initially fix the dial indicator.
[0042] b. Place the first ball head 103 against the tapered surface 203 of the third through hole 201, and place the second ball head 106 against the tapered surface 203 of the third ball head. Rotate the set screw 112, which pushes the ball head lever 105 to rotate around the threaded top 109 until the ball head lever 105 contacts the probe of the dial indicator. Rotate the set screw 112 to make the dial pointer of the dial indicator point to zero. Rotate the bolt 114 to secure the dial indicator.
[0043] c. Place the first ball head 103 against the central ball socket 3 of the main shaft, and place the second ball head 106 against one of the side ball sockets 4. Read the value from the dial indicator, double the value, and obtain the position data of the side ball socket 4.
