TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile parts testing, in particular to a rapid detection device and measurement method for the positioning groove of the input shaft of an automobile steering gear. BACKGROUND
[0002] The automobile steering gear, also known as a steering machine or a direction machine, is the most important part of the automobile steering system. Its function is to increase the force transmitted by the steering wheel to the steering transmission mechanism and to change the direction of force transmission. The commonly used steering gear is the rack and pinion type, and the steering gear housing is usually formed by casting and then subjected to a finishing process. Then, the rack and pinion components are assembled into the housing. After assembly, the mounting points and the position of the input shaft of the steering gear assembly need to be detected.
[0003] The automobile steering gear input shaft has a wide application prospect and a large quantity of use, and the installation and use requirements are high. The positioning groove of the input shaft of the automobile steering gear is a key part for ensuring the qualification of the automobile steering gear. It is required that the groove width dimension and the groove position degree of each input shaft groove be consistent and good during production, so as to ensure uniform assembly clearance. Since the measured groove width dimension is the distance between the two faces of the input shaft, and the position degree is relative to the inner hole reference, manual measurement with a caliper or a micrometer cannot achieve the purpose. Therefore, three-coordinate measurement is currently used for processing and detection. Three-coordinate measurement can ensure the measurement accuracy, but it takes a long time to use, which affects the rapid adjustment of the input shaft processing site. Moreover, if rapid selection of products is required, three-coordinate measurement cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, a detection device that can quickly judge in the production and selection site is needed. SUMMARY
