[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a drive shaft straightness testing device includes a testing platform 1. The testing platform 1 is provided with several support mechanisms that support the drive shaft 2. The support mechanisms support the drive shaft 2 without affecting the rotation of the drive shaft 2. In this embodiment, the support mechanism includes a support frame 7. The upper end of the support frame 7 is provided with a "V" shaped groove 701. In specific use, petroleum jelly can be applied to the "V" shaped groove 701 to reduce the rotational friction of the drive shaft 2.

[0030] Multiple detection mechanisms are arranged on the detection table 1 along the length of the transmission shaft 2. The detection mechanism includes a sensor bracket 3, on which two sets of mutually perpendicular swing sensors 4 are provided. The swing sensors 4 are perpendicular to the axis of the transmission shaft 2. The two swing sensors 4 can be set horizontally and vertically respectively.

[0031] A drive motor 5 is provided at the end of the drive shaft 2. The drive motor 5 is mounted on the detection table 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 5 is connected to the drive shaft 2 through a connecting mechanism 6. The sway sensor 4 is electrically connected to the computer. During the rotation of the drive shaft 2, the computer collects data from the sway sensor 4 at regular intervals.

[0032] The connecting mechanism 6 can be a structure that can be easily connected to the shaft, such as a three-jaw chuck. In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 6 is a magnet, which is set at the end of the output shaft of the drive motor 5. The magnet can also be replaced by an electromagnet.

[0033] Preferably, a support roller 702 is provided on the upper side of the "V"-shaped groove 701. Specifically, mounting grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the "V"-shaped groove 701, and the support roller 702 is installed in the mounting grooves. The rotation axis of the support roller 702 is parallel to the rotation center of the transmission shaft 2. By setting the support roller 702, the friction force of the transmission shaft 2 rotation can be reduced.

[0034] Preferably, an electronic scale 8 is provided between the support frame 7 and the testing platform 1. A threaded hole 101 is provided on the testing platform 1 corresponding to the support mechanism. The load-bearing adjustment screw 8 cooperates with the threaded hole 101. The lower end of the load-bearing adjustment screw 8 is provided with a handle 9, and the upper end is located at the bottom of the electronic scale 8. By rotating and adjusting the load-bearing adjustment screw 8, the support force of the electronic scale 8 can be adjusted, so that the support force of each electronic scale 8 is relatively uniform, and the transmission shaft 2 is prevented from having a large deflection due to its own weight.

[0035] A method for detecting the straightness of a drive shaft includes the following steps:

[0036] Step 1: Grind and clean the drive shaft 2 and the drive shaft straightness detection device. The mating surfaces of the drive shaft 2 and the "V" groove 701 should be clean, free of burrs, and smooth. The ends of the drive shaft 2, the output shaft end of the drive motor 5, and the magnet surface should be clean and free of oil. Place the drive shaft 2 on the support mechanism. The drive shaft 2 section of the shaft targeted by the detection mechanism should be free of burrs and smooth. The ends of the drive shaft 2 are connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 5 through the connecting mechanism 6. Each set of detection mechanisms has two swing sensors 4, including an X-axis swing sensor and a Y-axis swing sensor.

[0037] Step 2: Start the drive motor 5 to rotate the transmission shaft 2. The sway sensor 4 collects the sway of the transmission shaft 2. The drive motor 5 rotates once every N1 seconds, so the computer collects data once every N1 / 36 seconds. Among them, the Y-axis sway sensor collects data Y(y1, y2, y3…y) within N1 seconds. 36 The X-axis sensor N collects data X(x) within 1 second. 28 x 29 …x 36 x1, x2, x3…x 27 ).

[0038] Step 3: The computer processes the data collected by the swing sensor 4.

[0039] Data processing includes the following steps:

[0040] S1. With the rotation center line of the transmission shaft 2 as the Z-axis and the direction away from the output shaft of the drive motor 5 as the positive direction, establish a rectangular coordinate system in each part of the detection mechanism perpendicular to the rotation center line of the transmission shaft 2. The rotation center line of the transmission shaft 2 passes through point O of each plane rectangular coordinate system. The X-axis coincides with the center line of the X-axis swing sensor, and the Y-axis coincides with the center line of the Y-axis swing sensor.

[0041] S2. The coordinates of the axis of any part corresponding to a set of testing mechanisms in their respective Cartesian coordinate systems are: but With Y(y1, y2, y3…y 36 ), X(x) 28 x 29 …x 36 ,x1,x2,x3…x 27 The following relationship is satisfied:

[0042]

[0043]

[0044] The coordinates of the axis of each part of the testing institution in the corresponding Cartesian coordinate system are as follows: N2 represents the number of testing institutions.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection mechanism is set into four groups, that is, the axis coordinate corresponding to the detection mechanism closest to the motor shaft is... Moving away from the motor shaft, in sequence are:

[0046] S3, such as Figure 5As shown in the figure, project points A, B, C, and D onto the same rectangular coordinate system along the Z-axis. Calculate the distances between all points in this rectangular coordinate system, denoted as |AB|, |AC|, |AD|, |BC|, |BD|, and |CD|. The straightness of the transmission shaft is represented by the maximum value of the distances between points, that is, the straightness of the transmission shaft ≈ MAX(|AB|, |AC|, |AD|, |BC|, |BD|, |CD|). After clicking the computer data acquisition button for N1 seconds, the computer starts to display the straightness of the transmission shaft. If the values calculated by the computer for N3 consecutive N1 seconds are all less than 0.3 mm, it indicates that the straightness of the transmission shaft is qualified; otherwise, it reports that the straightness of the transmission shaft exceeds the standard. In this embodiment, N3 = 5, that is, if the values calculated by the computer for 5 consecutive n seconds are all less than 0.3 mm, the computer reports that the straightness of the transmission shaft is qualified; otherwise, it reports that the straightness of the transmission shaft exceeds the standard.

[0047] The straightness detection device of the transmission shaft has a simple structure and is easy to implement. It uses a motor to drive the transmission shaft to rotate, and a sensor to collect the swing of the transmission shaft, calculates the center distance of the axis projection at different shaft positions, and approximately replaces the straightness of the transmission shaft with the maximum center distance. It can quickly judge whether the straightness of the transmission shaft meets the requirements, has a high degree of automation, a simple device structure, is convenient for installing and adjusting the transmission shaft, and is easy to operate.
