Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] The transmission shaft of the car constant velocity universal joint is composed of a fixed end joint, an intermediate shaft and a movable end joint, wherein the fixed end joint is directly connected to the wheel hub of the car wheel, and the movable end joint is directly connected to the differential of the engine. The power of the engine is transmitted to the wheel through the differential, the movable end joint, the intermediate shaft, the fixed end joint and the wheel hub, thereby driving the wheel to rotate. The fixed end joint is mainly composed of an outer ring, a retainer, a steel ball and an inner ring; the movable end joint is mainly composed of an outer sleeve, a retainer, a steel ball and an inner sleeve. The outer spherical surface of the retainer is matched with the inner spherical surface of the outer ring or the inner cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve. The outer spherical surface of the retainer is mainly completed by grinding finishing. In particular, the outer spherical surface of the retainer of the fixed end joint has a high dimensional accuracy requirement. If the dimensional accuracy of the outer spherical surface of the retainer is unqualified, the outer spherical surface of the retainer and the inner spherical surface of the outer ring will not meet the technical specifications, which is easy to wear, shortening the service life of the retainer and the inner ring, and causing abnormal noise. In the past, the outer ball diameter of the cage was measured with a micrometer, but it is not easy to accurately measure the ball diameter passing through the center of the ball, the measurement has errors, the measurement time is long, the efficiency is low, and the measured values are different due to human factors. More importantly, sometimes the wrong value is read, which will lead to batch scrapping and great waste. Therefore, an instrument that can measure the outer ball diameter of the cage efficiently and conveniently and can ensure the measurement accuracy is urgently needed at the processing site.

[0005] The principle of the present invention is: using the comparison method, a retainer that meets the requirements of the limit sample after three-coordinate measurement of the outer spherical diameter is burned with a mark as a retainer limit sample, and two retainer limit samples are respectively placed in the spherical recesses of the positioner, so that the probe A and the probe B are respectively in contact with the outer spherical surface of the retainer limit sample, then the pointer reading of the micrometer changes, and the pointer ranges corresponding to the two retainer limit samples are marked respectively, the retainer limit sample is removed, the retainer to be measured is placed in the spherical recess of the positioner, and the probe A and the probe B are in contact with the outer spherical surface of the retainer, then the pointer reading of the micrometer changes, if the pointer reading of the micrometer is within the marked range, the outer spherical surface of the retainer is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified and needs to be adjusted.

The function of the through hole 21 and the expanded hole 24 is to facilitate cleaning of the inner surface of the spherical socket 2, and dirt can easily fall from the through hole 21 through the expanded hole 24; the function of the spring is that after the measuring rod A5 and the measuring rod B18 rotate around the rotating shaft A7 and the rotating shaft B16 respectively, the elastic force of the spring can make the measuring rod A5 and the measuring rod B18 return to their original positions and contact the two end surfaces of the groove opening A3 and the groove opening B20, thereby making the measuring head A4 and the measuring head B19 in a working measuring state.
[0014] The working process of the present invention is as follows: first, a holder whose outer spherical diameter value after three-coordinate measurement meets the requirements of the limit sample is burned with a mark as the holder limit sample, and two holder limit samples are respectively placed in the spherical concave socket 2 of the positioner 1, and the outer spherical surface 26 of the holder limit sample is in contact with the spherical concave socket 2, so that the probe A4 and the probe B19 are respectively in contact with the outer spherical surface 26 of the holder limit sample, when the position of the measuring rod A5 and the measuring rod B18 changes, the contact 12 and the two measuring rods move relative to each other. The pointer reading of the micrometer 15 changes. After marking the pointer reading range corresponding to the two limit samples of the cage, remove the limit sample of the cage, put the cage to be measured into the spherical concave of the positioner, and make the outer spherical surface 26 of the cage contact with the spherical concave 2, and make the probe A4 and the probe B19 contact with the outer spherical surface 26 of the cage, then the pointer reading of the micrometer 15 changes. If the pointer reading of the micrometer 15 is within the marked range, the outer spherical diameter of the measured point of the cage is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified and needs to be adjusted. The cage can be rotated in the spherical concave 2, so the outer spherical diameter of any position can be measured. It only needs to make the two points to be measured contact with the probe A4 and the probe B19.
