Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a scroll compressor assembly accuracy gauge and its testing method, which falls under the technical field of testing equipment, and particularly to a scroll compressor assembly accuracy gauge and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of current scroll compressors, the perpendicularity of the crankshaft to the upper and lower supports is one of the most critical assembly dimensions. Poor perpendicularity between the crankshaft and the upper and lower supports will directly affect the compressor's performance and indirectly lead to abnormal stator-rotor clearance in the compressor motor. Abnormal stator-rotor clearance during compressor operation will cause problems such as rotor rubbing and sparking, posing a significant safety hazard. Currently used perpendicularity gauges are broadly divided into two categories, both using a dial indicator as the primary measuring tool: the first category uses an integrated gauge, and the second category uses a separate gauge for the measuring unit and the rotary drive mechanism.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technologies are as follows: Firstly, because the first type of gauge uses an integrated structure, the measurement accuracy is affected when the operator rotates the gauge during inspection, thus its application is limited. Secondly, the second type of gauge often uses a magnetic seat to attach the crankshaft to fix the measuring part. This fixing method has two drawbacks: First, the magnetic seat magnetizes the crankshaft, and the bottom of the magnetic seat often attracts fine iron filings that cannot be cleaned. This allows the iron filings at the bottom of the magnetic seat to be attracted by the magnetized crankshaft and carried into the compressor. The resulting foreign matter can cause abnormal wear on the compressor and ultimately damage it. Secondly, because the magnetic seat itself has limited adsorption force, accidental contact by the operator during testing can cause displacement of the measuring part, leading to distorted test results. Furthermore, previous gauges and testing methods suffer from complex operation, low testing efficiency, and accuracy limitations imposed by the operator's skill level.

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, it is necessary to study and design a new type of scroll compressor assembly precision gauge and its detection method to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems of existing inspection tools, such as inconvenient operation, low detection accuracy, high operator skill requirements, unstable magnetic base fixation, and the potential for iron filings to be introduced into the compressor, leading to compressor damage, this invention provides a scroll compressor assembly accuracy inspection tool and its detection method. This invention primarily utilizes an inspection tool and a rotating handle, respectively fixed to the eccentric part of the compressor crankshaft. A displacement sensor on the inspection tool contacts the upper support mirror surface of the compressor. The operator rotates the crank handle, causing the crankshaft and inspection tool to rotate. The sensor probe records the displacement change relative to the upper support mirror surface during one rotation, thereby achieving rapid and accurate detection of the scroll compressor assembly accuracy.

[0006] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:

[0007] A scroll compressor assembly precision inspection fixture includes: a crankshaft positioning and clamping structure, an inspection structure, and a rotary drive unit;

[0008] Furthermore, the detection structure is mounted on the crankshaft positioning clamping structure with screws and connected to an external computer;

[0009] Furthermore, the crankshaft positioning and clamping structure is mounted on the crankshaft of the compressor;

[0010] Furthermore, the rotary drive unit is inserted inside the crankshaft positioning and clamping structure and connected to the compressor crankshaft via a positioning pin.

[0011] Furthermore, the crankshaft positioning and clamping structure includes: a positioning sleeve, a connecting rod, a clamping plate, and a spring;

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning sleeve is machined with a through mounting shaft hole;

[0013] Furthermore, a clamping plate is mounted on one side of the positioning sleeve via a connecting rod;

[0014] Furthermore, a spring is fitted between the upper part of the clamping plate and the positioning sleeve. Under the action of the spring, the lower part of the clamping plate is inserted into the notch at the lower part of the positioning sleeve to clamp the crankshaft fitted inside the positioning sleeve.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper end of the positioning sleeve is provided with a support plate mounting groove for installing the detection structure.

[0016] Furthermore, a magnet is fitted on the lower inner side of the clamping plate, and the clamping plate is attracted to the crankshaft by the magnet, which increases the fixing effect and clamping force.

[0017] Furthermore, the detection structure includes: a protective cover, a displacement sensor, a connecting ring, and a support plate;

[0018] Furthermore, the support plate is mounted on the support plate mounting groove provided on the upper end of the positioning sleeve by screws;

[0019] Furthermore, the connecting ring is installed on the upper part of the support plate;

[0020] Furthermore, the displacement sensor is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the connecting ring, and its probe passes downward through the central circular hole of the connecting ring and abuts against the upper support mirror surface of the compressor;

[0021] Furthermore, the displacement sensor is an ultra-high precision displacement sensor with an accuracy of up to 1μm, which is connected to an external computer;

[0022] Furthermore, the protective cover is installed on the outside of the displacement sensor and is fixedly assembled with the support plate.

[0023] Furthermore, the rotary drive unit is a detachable rotary crank;

[0024] Furthermore, the rotary crank includes: a rotary shaft, a positioning pin A, a positioning pin B, a rocker arm, and a handwheel;

[0025] Furthermore, one end of the joystick is connected to the upper part of the rotating shaft, and the other end is equipped with a handball;

[0026] Furthermore, locating pins A and B, corresponding to the top pin holes of the crankshaft, are provided on the bottom end face of the rotating shaft.

[0027] Furthermore, the method for detecting the assembly accuracy of a scroll compressor is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0028] S1. The operator presses the clamping plate towards the center of the positioning sleeve with their hand.

[0029] S2. The operator places the mounting shaft hole on the positioning sleeve from top to bottom onto the eccentric part of the compressor crankshaft. At the same time, the bottom of the positioning sleeve contacts the shoulder of the compressor crankshaft, and the probe of the displacement sensor contacts the upper support mirror surface of the compressor.

[0030] S3. The operator releases the clamping plate, which returns to its original position under the action of the spring. Its bottom is attracted to the eccentric part of the crankshaft by a magnet and clamps it, thus completing the clamping and fixing of the fixture and the compressor crankshaft.

[0031] S4. The operator passes the rotating handle through the mounting shaft hole on the positioning sleeve from top to bottom. The two positioning pins A and B at the bottom of the rotating handle mate with the blind hole at the top of the eccentric part of the compressor crankshaft. After installation, the rotating handle should not contact the positioning sleeve.

[0032] S5. The operator uses his hand to rotate the crank handle horizontally around the Z-axis of the compressor. The rotating crank handle drives the crankshaft of the compressor to rotate through the bottom positioning pin A and positioning pin B. The crankshaft of the compressor drives the gauge fixed on the eccentric part of the crankshaft to rotate. The probe of the displacement sensor is supported on the mirror surface on the compressor to complete the axial detection.

[0033] S6. The operator reads and records the measurement results from the computer connected to the displacement sensor;

[0034] S7. The operator removes the rotary handle, presses the clamping plate to remove the gauge, and completes the inspection work.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0036] 1. The scroll compressor assembly accuracy gauge and its testing method provided by the present invention have a simple structure. The gauge adopts a separate structure of gauge and rotary handle, which avoids the influence of rotary handle on the measurement accuracy of gauge during rotation.

[0037] 2. The scroll compressor assembly accuracy inspection tool and its testing method provided by the present invention are simple and convenient to operate, and require very low skill level from the operator. The operator can start working after only simple training.

[0038] 3. The scroll compressor assembly precision gauge and its testing method provided by the present invention use an ultra-high precision displacement sensor with an accuracy of up to 1μm, which has high testing accuracy and good stability.

[0039] In summary, the technical solution of this invention solves the problems of inconvenient operation of the inspection tool, low detection accuracy, high technical requirements for operators, unstable magnetic base fixation, and easy introduction of iron filings into the compressor, which can damage the compressor.
