Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile aperture gauges, and in particular relates to a universal gauge for automobile axle housing assemblies. Background Art

[0002] As the core component of the axle system, the manufacturing accuracy of the automobile axle housing assembly directly affects the vehicle's power transmission efficiency, load-bearing capacity and driving safety. In the field of commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles, the axle housing assembly needs to meet complex geometric tolerance requirements (such as axis coaxiality, end face verticality, installation hole accuracy, etc.) to ensure precise coordination with components such as differentials and half-axles. Traditional inspection methods mainly rely on special inspection fixtures, three-coordinate measuring machines or manual visual inspection, but these methods face significant limitations under the trend of flexible production.

[0003] Traditional bridge housing axis aperture size detection mostly uses a "one-type one-tool" special inspection fixture, that is, a customized inspection fixture structure for a bridge housing of a specific vehicle model or type. Although this type of inspection fixture can achieve rapid clamping and qualitative inspection, there are still the following problems: 1. Due to the variety of bridge housing assembly models, the cost of using a "one-type one-tool" special inspection fixture is relatively high; and the bridge housing assembly is mostly large in size. Before testing it, it needs to be fixed by a positioning piece, and then limited by the coaxial limiter at the shaft hole position. After ensuring the limit is stable, the diameter length of the shaft hole at different positions is finally measured by a laser detection instrument. When the shaft hole position is coaxially limited, the coaxial limiter extending into it is usually slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bridge housing assembly shaft hole, which makes the coaxial limiter unable to adjust the shaft hole position axis parallel to it, resulting in a certain error when the laser detection instrument is measured, affecting the measurement result.

[0004] 2. The current bridge housing assembly is not convenient to move after being placed on the positioning platform. Due to the position offset during the placement process, the detection points on the left and right sides are not synchronized when measuring the shaft hole, making it impossible to compare the detection results in real time, affecting the judgment of the detection results.

[0005] Therefore, in order to facilitate comparison and judgment of the test results and improve the accuracy of the test results of the outer diameter of the shaft hole of the axle housing assembly, the present invention provides a universal inspection tool for the automobile axle housing assembly.

[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7 This application is further described in detail.

[0031] See also Figure 1 A universal inspection tool for automobile axle housing assemblies comprises an inspection platform 1 and concentric positioning members 2 fixed on the left and right sides of the upper end surface of the inspection platform 1 for positioning the axle housing assembly respectively; a fixed limit member 3 for supporting and conveying the axle housing assembly is arranged at the middle position of the upper end surface of the inspection platform 1, the fixed limit member 3 comprises a positioning platform 31 for dynamically supporting the axle housing assembly placed at the upper end and a positioning assembly 32 arranged at the lower end of the positioning platform 31, the positioning platform 31 coaxially positions and fixes the inner wall of the middle part of the axle housing assembly by means of multi-point synchronous outward expansion and resistance, and the positioning assembly 32 is used to drive the positioning platform 31 to move back and forth in front of the upper end surface of the inspection platform 1; laser detection components 4 for sliding in the left and right directions and detecting the outer diameter of the axle housing assembly are respectively arranged on the inspection platform 1 between the fixed limit member 3 and the concentric positioning member 2.

[0032] During specific use, the bridge housing assembly is first fixedly lifted to the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31 by the existing clamp-type lifting device, and the position of the bridge housing assembly is corrected as much as possible through appropriate dynamic adjustment. When the bridge housing assembly is completely placed on the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31 by the lifting device, the concentric positioning between the middle part of the bridge housing assembly and the positioning platform 31 is completed by the internal structure of the positioning platform 31, and then the axle tubes on both sides of the bridge housing assembly are limited by the clamping parts on the positioning assembly 32; after limiting, the bridge housing assembly is driven by the positioning assembly 32 to move to the middle position of the detection platform 1, so that the two axial holes of the bridge housing assembly are respectively aligned with the concentric positioning parts 2 at the corresponding positions, and then the concentric positioning parts 2 are inserted into the inside of the stop shaft hole to further complete the concentric limiting; finally, the outer wall of the axle tube of the bridge housing assembly is detected by the laser detection component 4.

[0033] The detection principle of the laser detection component 4 used in the present application is to arrange two laser displacement sensors symmetrically along the circumference of the pipeline, and emit lasers to irradiate the distance to the surface object. Since the upper and lower laser displacement sensors are symmetrically distributed, the total distance between the two laser displacement sensors minus the distances between the two laser beams irradiating the surface object can be used to obtain the diameter of the outer wall of the shaft tube here through data analysis. At the same time, the shaft tubes at both ends of the bridge housing assembly are symmetrically distributed. The data after measuring the same points on both sides can be further analyzed to obtain the actual manufacturing tolerances of the outer walls of the two shaft tubes.

[0034] See also Figure 2 The upper end of the positioning platform 31 is a disc-shaped structure. Two sink grooves are symmetrically provided on the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31. A two-way threaded rod 311 is rotatably arranged inside the sink groove. A driven bevel gear 312 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the two-way threaded rod 311. The two threaded sections on the two-way threaded rod 311 are both provided with an L-shaped push rod 313. The end of the L-shaped push rod 313 in contact with the bridge housing assembly is provided with a ball; the other end of the L-shaped push rod 313 is slidably arranged inside the sink groove; a limit spring is sleeved between the L-shaped push rod 313 and the end of the two-way threaded rod 311; a dual-axis motor 314 is also fixedly arranged inside the positioning platform 31, and the two driving shafts of the dual-axis motor 314 are both connected with an active bevel gear 315, and the active bevel gear 315 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 312 at the corresponding position.

[0035] See also Figure 3 A telescopic platform 316 is telescopically arranged at the center of the positioning platform 31 , a dynamic detector is arranged inside the telescopic platform 316 , and the dynamic detector is electrically connected to the dual-axis motor 314 .

[0036] In order to adaptively adjust the coaxiality between the middle part of the bridge housing assembly and the positioning platform 31, the accuracy of the subsequent detection results can be ensured; in the process of completely placing the bridge housing assembly on the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31 through the lifting device, the extending and lowering platform 316 will first fit with the middle inner wall of the bridge housing assembly, and as the bridge housing assembly descends, the extending and lowering platform 316 will be driven to move, and the dynamic detector will further move. During its movement, the dual-axis motor 314 will be controlled to start, and the dual-axis motor 314 will start to indirectly drive the bidirectional threaded rod 311 on the front and rear sides to rotate. During its rotation, the two L-shaped push rods 313 on the same bidirectional threaded rod 311 will be controlled to move away from each other until they hit the middle inner wall of the bridge housing assembly. By setting a four-point synchronous outward expansion limit method on the front and rear sides, it is ensured that the middle part of the bridge housing assembly is coaxially positioned and fixed with the positioning platform 31, thereby further improving the accuracy of the subsequent detection results.

[0037] See also Figure 2 In order to further ensure that the L-shaped push rods 313 are away from each other and expand outward, the middle axis of the bridge housing assembly is adjusted to be coaxial with the positioning platform 31, and a ball bearing is provided on the upper end surface of the extension and lowering platform 316 to reduce the friction resistance when the bridge housing assembly and the extension and lowering platform 316 move relative to each other.

[0038] See also Figure 1 The concentric positioning member 2 includes a table rail seat 21 fixed on the detection platform 1 by bolts; a vertical base 22 is slidably provided on the upper end of the table rail seat 21 through an electric slider; the end surfaces of the vertical bases 22 on the two concentric positioning members 2 that are close to each other are respectively slid up and down to be provided with a concentric drive component 23 for extending into the shaft hole of the bridge housing assembly and completing multi-point synchronous support positioning.

[0039] Specifically, while the positioning platform 31 dynamically supports the bridge housing assembly, it also performs multi-point synchronous outward expansion coaxial positioning on the middle inner wall of the bridge housing assembly, and with the help of the concentric drive component 23, completes multi-point synchronous support positioning on the interior of the axial hole extending into the bridge housing assembly. With the mutual cooperation of the positioning platform 31 and the concentric drive component 23, the concentric self-correction of the automobile bridge housing is completed, further improving the detection effect of the laser detection component 4.

[0040] After the bridge housing assembly is fixedly lifted to the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31 by the clamp-type lifting device to complete the multi-point synchronous outward expansion coaxial positioning, the clamp-type lifting device will be withdrawn. At this time, the bridge housing assembly is completely placed on the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31. Due to the heavy overall weight of the bridge housing assembly, both ends of its shaft tube also need to be limited by the clamping parts on the positioning assembly 32. Then when the concentric drive assembly 23 is extended to the inner wall of the axial hole of the bridge housing assembly, if the axial hole and the concentric drive assembly 23 are not coaxial, the concentric drive assembly 23 itself needs to be adjusted to a coaxial position; for this reason, the vertical base 22 in the present invention needs to be adaptively structurally designed.

[0041] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 A rectangular track frame 221 is provided at one end of the vertical base 22 close to the fixed limit member 3. The interior of the rectangular track frame 221 is a cavity structure, and a multi-stage electric telescopic rod 222 is provided therein. The top of the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 222 is connected to a T-shaped rod 223, and balls are provided at both ends of the transverse section of the T-shaped rod 223. Strip holes are provided on both sides of the rectangular track frame 221, and a limit sleeve 224 is provided inside the strip hole for sliding. A locking column 225 with a spring sleeve on the surface is provided inside the limit sleeve 224 for sliding. A wedge surface is provided at one end of the locking column 225 that cooperates with the ball of the transverse section of the T-shaped rod 223; a U-shaped holder 226 is provided on the outside of the rectangular track frame 221 for sliding, and the other end of the locking column 225 passes through the strip hole toward the inner wall of the U-shaped holder 226; a spring telescopic rod 227 is symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the U-shaped holder 226, and one end of the spring telescopic rod 227 abuts against the circumferential outer wall of the locking column 225.

[0042] When the concentric drive assembly 23 needs to be adaptively adjusted in position, the U-shaped card seat 226 will be driven to move up and down in a small range. After the adjustment is completed, the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 222 is pulled down to drive the T-shaped rod 223 to move down and cooperate with the inclined surfaces of the locking columns 225 on both sides, driving the two locking columns 225 to move away from each other, so that the locking columns 225 are pressed against the corresponding inner walls of the U-shaped card seat 226, and the position of the U-shaped card seat 226 is locked (the adaptive adjustment state is shown in the figure). Figure 5 as shown).

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The concentric drive assembly 23 includes a cylinder seat 231 fixedly arranged on a U-shaped seat 226 by bolts, a telescopic cylinder 232 is installed on the cylinder seat 231, and a fixed sleeve 233 is connected to the end of the telescopic cylinder 232, and a single-axis motor 234 is connected to the inside of the fixed sleeve 233, and a lead screw threaded rod 235 is connected to the output end of the single-axis motor 234, and a one-way assembly 236 is connected to the lead screw threaded rod 235. Two symmetrical side thrust plates 237 are arranged on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 233 through a pin shaft rotation, and the side thrust plates 237 are connected to the one-way assembly 236 by a connecting rod 238. A rubber pad is arranged on the outer wall of one end of the side thrust plate 237 facing the bridge housing assembly to be tested; a positioning cone 239 for guiding the insertion into the shaft hole of the bridge housing assembly is threadedly connected to one end of the fixed sleeve 233 facing the fixed limit member 3; when the model difference of the bridge housing assembly is large, the positioning cone 239 of different models can be replaced first.

[0044] Specifically, when the concentric drive components 23 on both sides are synchronously inserted into the shaft hole of the bridge housing assembly, in order to ensure that they can be inserted, the diameter of the positioning cone 239 is usually slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft hole, and the purpose of setting the positioning cone 239 is to play a guiding role. After the positioning cone 239 is inserted, the single-axis motor 234 rotates forward to control the side push plates 237 on both sides to stand up (the state diagram is as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown), the insertion depth of both ends is limited to keep them consistent, which is beneficial to the accuracy of the result detection on both sides. In order to ensure the vertical state of the side push plate 237 after it is erected, a limit cylinder can be set on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 233.

[0045] See also Figure 7 The fixed sleeve 233 is evenly provided with through holes on the circumferential outer wall on one side near the fixed limit member 3, and the end of the lead screw threaded rod 235 near the positioning cone 239 is also connected to a gear set 241, and a one-way component 236 is also arranged inside the gear set 241. The outer wall of the gear set 241 is connected with a bidirectional lead screw 242 corresponding to the number of the through holes, and two relatively movable connecting rods 243 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 242. One end of the movable connecting rod 243 passing through the through hole is connected to an arc-shaped outer support block 244, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped outer support block 244 is provided with a ball bearing; the interior of the fixed sleeve 233 is provided with a limit block 245 hinged to all the movable connecting rods 243.

[0046] When the concentric drive components 23 on both sides are synchronously inserted into the specified positions inside the axial holes of the bridge housing assembly, the single-axis motor 234 continuously rotates forward. At this time, the one-way component 236 connected to the connecting rod 238 controls the screw threaded rod 235 to not function, and the continuous forward rotation of the screw threaded rod 235 drives the gear set 241 to work. The gear set 241 simultaneously drives multiple bidirectional screws 242 to rotate. During the rotation process, it will drive the angle between the two movable connecting rods 243 in the same through hole to decrease until they hit the inner wall of the axial hole, thereby keeping the axial hole coaxial with the concentric drive component 23.

[0047] See also Figure 7The connection method between the two-way screw rod 242 and the movable connecting rod 243 is to provide a displacement groove inside the movable connecting rod 243, and then set a connecting block in the internal limit of the displacement groove, which is connected to the two-way screw rod 242 through the connecting block; it can ensure that when the gear set 241 drives multiple two-way screw rods 242 to rotate at the same time, the angle between the two movable connecting rods 243 inside the same through hole can be controlled to decrease, so that the outer wall of the arc-shaped external support block 244 is against the inner wall of the shaft hole of the bridge housing assembly, and further, multiple arc-shaped external support blocks 244 equally divided on the circumference are used to complete the multi-point synchronous adjustment to control the axis of the shaft hole to be coaxial with the positioning cone 239, so as to ensure the detection effect. In the process of multi-point outward expansion synchronous adjustment of coaxiality, in order to avoid the overall offset of the bridge housing assembly caused by single-point outward expansion, two arc-shaped external support blocks 244 close to each other are adopted in a single position (that is, in the same through hole) to offset the offset trend on the opposite side, so as to fully ensure the concentric positioning effect.

[0048] Specifically, the one-way component 236 used in the present application is a common electromagnetic controller. When the single-axis motor 234 rotates forward, the rotation of the lead screw threaded rod 235 can selectively drive the corresponding gear set 241 and the connecting rod 238 to move through the electromagnetic controller. When a single bridge housing assembly is completed, the single-axis motor 234 reverses to drive the corresponding gear set 241 and the connecting rod 238 to return to their initial positions.
