Detailed Implementation
[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0023] A thread go / no-go gauge testing device, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment includes a go / no-go gauge detection base 1, a go gauge detection sleeve 2, a no-go gauge detection sleeve 3, a displacement sensor assembly, and two torque sensors 4. A go gauge detection element is mounted on the go gauge detection sleeve 2 via screws, and a no-go gauge detection element is mounted on the no-go gauge detection sleeve 3 via screws. The go and no-go gauge detection elements adopt existing go or no-go gauge structures, making disassembly and replacement easy.
[0024] The go / no-go gauge testing base 1 is slidably mounted on the worktable 001. Two torque sensors 4 are respectively mounted parallel to each other on the go / no-go gauge testing base 1. The detection shaft of one torque sensor 4 is connected to the go gauge testing sleeve 2 via a positioning bead 17, and the detection shaft of the other torque sensor 4 is connected to the no-go gauge testing sleeve 3 via a positioning bead 17. The go / no-go gauge testing base 1 is rotatably connected to the detection shafts of each torque sensor 4 via bearings. The go / no-go gauge testing base 1 moves axially along the go gauge testing sleeve 2 and the no-go gauge testing sleeve 3, and the axial position of the go / no-go gauge testing base 1 is detected by a displacement sensor assembly. Each torque sensor 4 is a commercially available product and is connected to an external controller to detect the torque when the go gauge or no-go gauge is threaded onto the go gauge testing sleeve 2 or the no-go gauge testing sleeve 3. The threading force during the detection process drives the go / no-go gauge testing base 1 to move axially.
[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower surface of the go / no-go gauge detection base 1 is provided with a slider, and the worktable 001 is provided with a slide rail 5 that is slidably connected to the slider. The slide rail 5 and the slider are provided to enable the go / no-go gauge detection base 1 to move stably on the worktable 001.
[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, limit blocks 6 are provided on the worktables 001 on both the front and rear sides of the go / no-go gauge detection base 1 in the direction of movement, so as to prevent the go / no-go gauge detection base 1 from leaving the normal movement area and to ensure that there is no excessive engagement during the detection process.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, spring stops 7 are respectively provided on the left and right ends of the go / no-go gauge detection base 1. Guide rods 8 are respectively provided on the upper surfaces of the worktables 001 on the left and right sides of the go / no-go gauge detection base 1. Each guide rod 8 is threaded with a limit nut 9, and the guide rod 8 passes through the spring stop 7 on the same side. A spring 10 is sleeved on the guide rod 8 between the spring stop 7 and the limit nut 9. The spring 10 can provide preload to the workpiece, assisting the go gauge detection element on the go gauge detection sleeve 2 or the no-go gauge detection element on the no-go gauge detection sleeve 3 to engage with the workpiece. The guide rods 8 guide the movement of the spring 10 and the go / no-go gauge detection base 1.
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of each torque sensor 4 is mounted on the go / no-go gauge detection base 1 by screws, and the other ends of both torque sensors 4 are connected to the same fixing plate 11. Two connecting posts 12 are provided between the fixing plate 11 and the go / no-go gauge detection base 1. Each connecting post 12 has a limiting head at one end near the go / no-go gauge detection base 1, and the other end passes through the fixing plate 11 and is provided with a locking nut 13. Through the cooperation of the fixing plate 11 and the connecting posts 12 with the limiting head and locking nut 13, the torque sensor 4 can be stably installed on the go / no-go gauge detection base 1.
[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the displacement sensor assembly includes a movable part 14 mounted on a spring stop 7 on the go / no-go gauge detection base 1 and a fixed part 15 mounted on a worktable 001. The movable part 14 moves on the fixed part 15, and the fixed part 15 is mounted on the worktable 001 via a displacement sensor mounting base 16. The displacement sensor assembly including the movable part 14 and the fixed part 15 is a commercially available displacement sensor and is connected to an external controller.
[0030] Working principle:
[0031] During inspection, the operation is performed in the order of first checking the no-go gauge and then checking the go gauge. When checking the no-go gauge, the no-go gauge detection element on the no-go gauge detection sleeve 3 is brought into contact with the workpiece, and the spring 10 provides the engagement preload. The displacement sensor assembly records the initial position of the no-go and go gauge detection base 1. Then, the workpiece rotates, and the no-go gauge detection element on the no-go gauge detection sleeve 3 engages with the workpiece, causing the workpiece to be screwed into the no-go gauge detection element. The workpiece does not undergo axial displacement, but the no-go gauge detection sleeve 3 undergoes axial displacement, which drives the no-go and go gauge detection base 1 to move on the slide rail 5. The torque sensor 4 monitors the magnitude of the torque generated by the engagement in real time. When the torque value reaches the set value, the displacement sensor assembly records the position at this time and calculates the number of turns of engagement of the no-go gauge detection sleeve 3. If it is greater than the set number of turns, it is judged as unqualified and is transferred by the robot to the unqualified material area to wait for the next process.
[0032] If the no-go gauge test is successful, the go gauge test is performed. The go gauge detection element on the go gauge detection sleeve 2 contacts the workpiece, and the spring 10 provides the pre-engagement force. The displacement sensor assembly records the initial position of the go / no-go gauge detection base 1. Next, the workpiece rotates and screws into the go gauge detection element. The workpiece does not move axially, but the go gauge detection sleeve 2 moves axially, causing the go / no-go gauge detection base 1 to move on the slide rail 5. The torque sensor 4 monitors the magnitude of the torque generated during engagement in real time. If the torque exceeds a set value during the process of the go gauge detection sleeve 2 reaching the end of the thread, the displacement value at this moment is compared with the preset displacement value. If the detected displacement value is less than the set value, the go gauge test is unsuccessful. If the detected displacement value is greater than or equal to the set value, the go gauge test is successful. The displacement sensor assembly records the current position and calculates the actual number of engagement turns, awaiting the next process. The above conversion method for the number of engagement turns is existing technology.
