Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive axle housing manufacturing, and in particular to a fully automatic leak detection machine based on the inspection of weld seams of automotive axle housing reinforcing rings. Background Technology
[0002] The axle housing is a critical component of a car, subjected to complex stresses. It not only bears the weight of the vehicle and transmits force, but also withstands bending moments and torques generated by dynamic and static loads. Therefore, the axle housing requires sufficient strength, rigidity, and toughness, and must be able to withstand fatigue stress over long periods. Oil leakage in the axle housing can lead to poor or even no lubrication of the main reducer and differential, accelerating wear and causing premature damage, jeopardizing driving safety. The main causes of axle housing oil leakage are defects such as porosity, cracks, and lack of fusion between the reinforcing ring and the weld. Existing inspection machines mostly use methods such as injecting colored or tracking gases into the axle housing and observing whether the gas overflows from the weld to determine the presence of porosity, or applying soapy water to the weld and observing whether bubbles form after gas injection to determine the presence of porosity. However, these methods are largely manual, inefficient, and pollute the environment.
[0003] Therefore, this invention proposes a fully automatic leak detection machine based on the inspection of weld seams of automotive axle housing reinforcing rings. This machine is used to inspect the weld seams after the axle housing and reinforcing rings are welded together, to detect defects such as porosity, cracks, and incomplete fusion.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0051] Examples, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a fully automatic side leakage detection machine based on automotive axle housing reinforcing ring weld seam includes: a base plate, an axle housing conveying device 1, a mechanical gripping device 2, an air source device 5, and a control cabinet 7. It also includes: a two-end tightening and sealing device 3, a reinforcing ring sealing detection device 4, and a detection device 6. The axle housing conveying device 1, mechanical gripping device 2, tightening and sealing device 3, control cabinet 7, and reinforcing ring sealing detection device 4 are all fixedly mounted on the base plate. The mechanical gripping device 2 is used to grip the axle housing from the axle housing conveying device 1 to the two-end tightening and sealing device 3. The reinforcing ring sealing detection device 4 includes a reinforcing ring sealing device 41, which is located at both ends for tight sealing. Above position 3, the detection device 6 is slidably connected to the reinforcing ring sealing detection device 4; the air source device 5 provides air to the entire device; the control cabinet 7 is used to control the entire device; during operation, the bridge housing is conveyed by the bridge housing conveying device 1, and the mechanical gripping device 2 grabs the bridge housing from the bridge housing conveying device 1 into the two-end clamping sealing device 3, which adjusts and clamps the bridge housing and blocks the openings at both ends of the bridge housing; then the reinforcing ring sealing detection device 4 seals the reinforcing ring of the bridge housing, the air source device 5 inflates the inside of the bridge housing, and the detection device 6 detects whether there is air leakage at the weld; all of the above processes are controlled by the control cabinet 7.
[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the bridge housing conveying device 1 includes: a conveying mechanism 11, on which a sensor 12 is fixedly installed; a pushing device 13 is provided on each side of the conveying mechanism 11, and the pushing device 13 includes: a pushing mounting frame 131, which is fixedly installed on the base plate; two pushing cylinders 132 are fixedly installed on the pushing mounting frame 131, and a push plate is fixedly installed at the output end of each pushing cylinder 132, facing the conveying mechanism 11; when the sensor 12 senses the bridge housing, the conveying mechanism 11 stops working, and then the pushing cylinder 132 starts to push the bridge housing to be parallel to the sliding frame 22, so that the gripper 23 can grasp the bridge housing.
[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 7-8As shown, the mechanical gripping device 2 includes: a mechanical arm 21, which is fixedly mounted on a base plate, and a sliding frame 22 is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the mechanical arm 21; a gripper moving motor 24 is fixedly mounted on the sliding frame 22, and a gear 25 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the gripper moving motor 24; two racks 26 and two gripper connecting blocks 27 are slidably connected inside the sliding frame 22, and each gripper connecting block 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding rack 26; the gear 25 meshes with the two racks 26; a gripper 23 is fixedly connected to each gripper connecting block 27; the gripper 23 grips the bridge shell, and through the operation of the gripper moving motor 24, the gripper 23 slides on the sliding frame 22 to adapt to bridge shells of different lengths.
[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 9-10 As shown, the sealing device 3 with tightening at both ends includes: a bridge housing placement frame 31, with a sealing device 33 and a rotating support device 32 fixedly installed at both ends of the bridge housing placement frame 31, and the sealing device 33 and the rotating support device 32 being slidably connected; the bridge housing placement frame 31 is used to place the bridge housing, the rotating support device 32 is used to rotate the bridge housing, and the sealing device 33 is used to seal both ends of the bridge housing; the bridge housing placement frame 31 is provided with pulleys to facilitate the rotation of the bridge housing.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, the sealing device 33 includes: a synchronous push servo cylinder 332 and a sealing disc 331. There are three synchronous push servo cylinders 332. The sealing disc 331 is slidably connected to the rotating support device 32. Each synchronous push servo cylinder 332 is fixedly connected to the bridge housing placement frame 31, and its output end is fixedly connected to the sealing disc 331. The synchronous push servo cylinder 332 pushes the sealing disc 331 so that the sealing disc 331 presses against both ends of the bridge housing to seal both ends of the bridge housing.
[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, the sealing disc 331 is equipped with a high-pressure air nozzle, which is connected to the air source device 5. Before the sealing disc 331 seals both ends of the bridge housing, the high-pressure air nozzle sprays gas to clean both ends of the bridge housing and blow away dust, so that the sealing disc 331 can better seal both ends of the bridge housing.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 12As shown, the rotating support device 32 includes: a mounting cylinder 321 and a first clamping push cylinder 322. One end of the mounting cylinder 321 is fixedly mounted on the axle housing placement frame 31, and the other end is slidably connected to a rotating motor mounting frame 323. The first clamping push cylinder 322 is fixedly mounted on the axle housing placement frame 31, and its output end is fixedly connected to the rotating motor mounting frame 323. An axle housing clamping device 325 is rotatably connected to the rotating motor mounting frame 323. A rotating motor 324 is fixedly mounted inside the rotating motor mounting frame 323 in one of the rotating support devices 32, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 324 is fixedly connected to the axle housing clamping device 325. The first clamping push cylinder 322 is an electric cylinder. The first clamping push cylinder 322 pushes the rotating motor mounting frame 323, causing the axle housing clamping device 325 to enter the axle housing. After the axle housing clamping device 325 clamps the axle housing, the rotating motor 324 starts and rotates the axle housing so that its reinforcing ring faces upward.
[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 13 As shown, the bridge housing clamping device 325 includes: a clamping device mounting body, which is rotatably connected to the rotary motor mounting bracket 323 and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the corresponding rotary motor 324; a second clamping push cylinder 3251 is fixedly installed inside the clamping device mounting body; a push plate 3252 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second clamping push cylinder 3251; four rotating plates 3253 are rotatably connected inside the clamping device mounting body, and the clamping device mounting body has clearances equal in number to the number of rotating plates 3253, each... One end of the rotating plate 3253 is elastically connected to the inside of the clamping device mounting body via a corresponding spring 3254, and the other end extends through the clamping device mounting body through the clearance. The push plate 3252 is movably connected to each rotating plate 3253. The second clamping push cylinder 3251 is a cylinder. When the second clamping push cylinder 3251 is activated, the rotating plate 3253 extends through the clearance on the clamping device mounting body via the push plate 3252, clamping the bridge housing from inside the bridge housing, so that the bridge housing can rotate when rotating.
[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 14-16As shown, the reinforcing ring sealing detection device 4 also includes: a reinforcing ring sealing moving device 42 and a buffer 43. The reinforcing ring sealing moving device 42 includes: a mounting frame 421 with a clearance; a moving block 422 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 421; a hydraulic cylinder 424 is fixedly mounted on the moving block 422; a horizontal plate 425 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 424; a pull rod 426 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 425; the lower end of the pull rod 426 passes through the clearance and is fixedly connected to the buffer 43, and is slidably connected to the moving block 422; a moving block pushing cylinder 423 is installed on each side of the mounting frame 421, and the output end of each moving block pushing cylinder 423 is fixedly connected to the moving block 422; the operation of the hydraulic cylinder 424 allows the reinforcing ring sealing device 41 to move up and down; the moving block pushing cylinders 423 on both sides allow the reinforcing ring sealing device 41 to move left and right, aligning with the axle housing reinforcing ring.
[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 17 As shown, the buffer includes: a connecting plate 431, which is fixedly connected to the pull rod 426; a sleeve 432 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 431, and a connecting rod 433 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 432; the lower end of the connecting rod 433 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing ring sealing device 41; since the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 will move downward when the reinforcing ring sealing device 41 clamps the axle housing, the buffer provides a displacement distance for the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411, so as to avoid the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 being unable to press the reinforcing ring due to the presence of the hydraulic cylinder 424.
[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 18-19As shown in Figures 21-23, the reinforcing ring sealing device 41 includes: a reinforcing ring pressure plate 411, which is fixedly connected to the buffer member 43; a compression cylinder 412 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411, and a compression cylinder connecting plate 414 is fixedly connected to the output end of the compression cylinder 412; at least two compression cylinder connecting rods 413 are fixedly connected to the compression cylinder connecting plate 414; an internal support shell 416 is slidably connected to the lower part of the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 via an elastic member 415; a movable block 417 is slidably connected inside the internal support shell 416; the movable block 417 has four sets of downwardly inclined grooves, which are evenly distributed; one end of a clamping plate 418 is slidably and rotatably installed on each set of downwardly inclined grooves; the other end of the clamping plate 418 passes through the internal support shell 416 and is slidably and non-rotatably connected to it; each compression cylinder connecting rod 413... The lower ends of 13 are all fixedly connected to the movable block 417; the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 is provided with a connection port for connecting to the air source device 5; a sensor 8 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411; when the sensor 8 senses that the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 is in contact with the reinforcing ring, the extrusion cylinder 412 is activated, and the movable block 417 moves upward through the extrusion cylinder connecting rod 413. The downward inclined sliding groove provided on the movable block 417 causes the clamping plate 418 to move. At the same time, since the clamping plate 418 slides with the internal support shell 416 and does not rotate, the clamping plate 418 can only move horizontally. As the extrusion cylinder 412 moves upward continuously, the clamping plate 418 abuts against the inner wall of the bridge shell. Since the extrusion cylinder 412 is fixedly installed on the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411, the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 will press down on the reinforcing ring to seal the bridge shell reinforcing ring.
[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 18 As shown, a high-pressure air nozzle is fixedly installed on the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411, and the high-pressure air nozzle is connected to the air source device 5. Before the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 presses the bridge housing reinforcing ring, the high-pressure air nozzle cleans the bridge housing reinforcing ring and blows away the dust on it, so that the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 achieves a better sealing effect.
[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 20 As shown, the elastic element includes: a pressure plate connecting rod 4151 and a support shell connecting cylinder 4153. The pressure plate connecting rod 4151 is fixedly connected below the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411; the support shell connecting cylinder 4153 is fixedly connected above the inner support shell 416; the pressure plate connecting rod 4151 is slidably connected inside the support shell connecting cylinder 4153, and the pressure plate connecting rod 4151 is elastically connected to the support shell connecting cylinder 4153 through an elastic element spring 4152; the deformation force of the elastic element spring 4152 is greater than the frictional force between the clamping plate 418 and the movable block 417, ensuring that when the bridge housing reinforcing ring is clamped, the clamping plate 418 extends first.
[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 18 and 24As shown in Figure -25, a slide rail is provided on the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411. The detection device 6 includes: a slider 61; the slider 61 is slidably connected to the slide rail, a pulley motor 62 is fixedly installed on the slider 61, the slider 61 is provided with a clearance, and a pulley 63 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the pulley motor 62. The pulley 63 is tightly connected to the slide rail through the clearance; a detection mounting frame 64 is fixedly connected to the slider 61, and a wind speed sensor 65 and two dye nozzles 66 are fixedly installed on the detection mounting frame 64. The wind speed sensor 65 is located between the two dye nozzles 66; the detection device 6 can move on the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 by rotating the pulley 63 driven by the pulley motor 62. When the wind speed sensor 65 detects airflow at the weld, the dye nozzles 66 spray dye to mark it.
[0065] Working principle: The bridge housing is placed on the conveying mechanism 11, which conveys the bridge housing. When the sensor 12 detects the bridge housing, the conveying mechanism 11 stops moving, and the straightening device 13 is activated. The straightening cylinders 132 on both sides of the straightening device 13 straighten the bridge housing, making it parallel to the sliding frame 22. Then, the gripper moving motor 24 is activated to adjust the distance between the two grippers 23 to fit the bridge housing. The mechanical gripping device 2 then grabs the bridge housing from the conveying mechanism 11 onto the bridge housing placement frame 31. Finally, the clamping push cylinder 322 is activated to clamp the bridge housing. 325 is pushed into the axle housing, and the clamping cylinder 3251 is activated to push out the rotating plate 3253, causing the rotating plate 3253 to clamp the axle housing from inside. Then, the axle housing is rotated by the rotary motor 324, so that the axle housing reinforcing ring faces upward. Then, the synchronous servo cylinder 332 is activated, causing the sealing disc 331 to press against both ends of the axle housing, sealing both ends of the axle housing. Before the sealing disc 331 seals both ends of the axle housing, the high-pressure air nozzle on the sealing disc 331 blows away the dust at both ends of the axle housing, so that the sealing disc 331 achieves a better sealing effect. When the end clamping sealing device is activated... 3. After the operation is completed, the reinforcing ring sealing moving device 42 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 424 and the moving block push the cylinder 423 to make the reinforcing ring sealing device 41 fall onto the axle housing reinforcing ring. The buffer assembly 43 can provide displacement distance for the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 to prevent the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 from failing to press the axle housing reinforcing ring due to the presence of the hydraulic cylinder 424. When the sensor on the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 senses that the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 is in contact with the reinforcing ring, the squeezing cylinder 412 is activated to make the moving block 417 slide within the internal support shell 416, thus displacing the clamping plate 418. The card plate 418 presses against the inside of the axle housing. Then, as the compression cylinder 412 continues to work, it is compressed by the elastic element 415. The reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 presses the reinforcing ring to seal it. Then, the air source device 5 is activated to inject gas into the axle housing through the connection port on the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411. The detection device 6 slides on the slide rail set on the reinforcing ring pressure plate 411 and detects whether there is air leakage at the weld through the wind speed sensor 65. If the wind speed sensor 65 detects air leakage, the two dye nozzles 66 spray dye to mark it, indicating that there is an air hole between the two marks.
