Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a transmission shaft outer shell ball track position detector, belonging to a measuring instrument for the ball track position of automobile accessories. Background Art

[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 ball track of the outer sleeve is matched with the ball track of the inner sleeve through the steel ball. The ball track of the outer sleeve is completed by hard milling or grinding. The precision requirement is high. If the symmetrical position accuracy of the plane where each pair of relative ball tracks of the outer sleeve is located and the rotation center of the outer surface is unqualified, it will cause the outer sleeve ball track to match the inner sleeve ball track through the steel ball. It does not meet the technical specification requirements, is easy to wear, shortens the service life of the outer sleeve, and is stuck and causes abnormal noise. In the past, the ballway position of the jacket was measured by three-coordinate measurement, but the measurement cycle was long and the efficiency was low. The production had to be stopped to wait for the three-coordinate measurement results, and the three-coordinate resources were occupied, which was a big waste. At the same time, a considerable number of companies believed that the ballway position of the jacket was guaranteed by procedures or fixture processing. In fact, with the changes in equipment accuracy, fixture wear and adjustment errors, and blade wear, the ballway position of the jacket has an out-of-tolerance situation, and it is a potential defect that is difficult to find. The out-of-tolerance of the ballway position will directly cause the assembly of the mobile end section to stagnate and make abnormal noises, and production needs to be stopped to wait for the problem to be solved. Therefore, an instrument that can measure the ballway position of the jacket efficiently and conveniently and can ensure measurement accuracy is urgently needed at the processing site. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a transmission shaft outer casing ball track position detector. When using this technology to measure the outer casing ball track position, it is not only convenient to adjust and efficient, but also can ensure the detection accuracy of the outer casing ball track position.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: the transmission shaft outer sleeve ball track position detector comprises a workbench, a positioning column and a bracket are fixedly installed on the workbench, the positioning column is provided with a through slot, a hole A and a sink A are provided on the positioning column on one side of the through slot, and a hole B and a sink B are provided on the positioning column on the other side of the through slot; a slidably connected rod A is installed in the hole A, one end of the rod A is placed in the sink A and fixedly connected to the steel ball A, the other end of the rod A is provided with a cylinder A, the cylinder A is placed in the through slot, the rod A is provided with a positioning slot A, the positioning column is fixedly provided with a pin A, and the protruding end of the pin A is placed in the positioning slot A; A slidably connected rod B is installed in the hole B, one end of the rod B is placed in the sink B and fixedly connected to the steel ball B, and a cylinder B is provided at the other end of the rod B, which is placed in the through groove and opposite to the cylinder A.

[0005] A gasket is arranged between the workbench plate and the positioning column, and a gasket with a suitable thickness can be selected to adjust the height of the outer jacket.

[0006] The principle of the present invention is: specifically, the inner hole of the outer sleeve is mounted on the positioning column, with the reference surface facing downward, and a pair of relative ballways are made to be opposite to the steel ball A and the steel ball B. Under the elastic force of the spring, the steel ball A and the steel ball B are in contact with the pair of ballways, and the probe of the micrometer is in contact with the outer surface of the outer sleeve. Then, the pointer reading on the micrometer changes, and the pointer reading of the micrometer is recorded. The outer sleeve is rotated 180 degrees and then mounted on the positioning column. Then, the pointer reading on the micrometer changes, and the pointer reading of the micrometer at this time is recorded, and the difference between the two readings is recorded. Similarly, the remaining two pairs of relative ballways are measured according to the above method, and the difference between the other two pairs of ballway measurements is recorded. If the difference between the three pairs is within the specified range of the design, the measurement result is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified and needs to be adjusted.
