Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As the core component of the axle system, the manufacturing precision 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 must meet complex geometric tolerance requirements (such as axis coaxiality, end face perpendicularity, 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-dimensional coordinate measuring machines or manual visual inspection, but these methods face significant limitations under the trend of flexible production.

[0003] Traditional bridge housing axis hole size inspections often use a "one-for-one" special inspection fixture, that is, a customized inspection fixture structure for a specific bridge housing model or type. Although this type of inspection fixture can achieve rapid clamping and qualitative inspection, the following problems still exist: 1. Due to the variety of bridge housing assembly models, the cost of using a "one-for-one" special inspection fixture is relatively high; and bridge housing assemblies are often large in size. Before inspection, they need to be fixed with positioning parts, and then limited by coaxial limiters 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 laser inspection equipment. When the shaft hole position is coaxially limited, the coaxial limiter extending into the interior is usually slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bridge housing assembly shaft hole, resulting in the coaxial limiter being unable to adjust the shaft hole position axis to be parallel to it, resulting in a certain error when the laser inspection instrument is measured, affecting the measurement results.

[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 its 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 automobile axle housing assemblies.

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

[0031] See also Figure 1 A universal inspection fixture for an automobile axle housing assembly 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; a fixed limit member 3 for supporting and conveying the axle housing assembly is provided 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 on the upper end and a positioning assembly 32 provided 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; a laser detection component 4 for sliding in the left and right directions and for detecting the outer diameter of the axle housing assembly is respectively provided 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 shaft 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 part 2 is inserted into the inside of the stop shaft hole to further complete the concentric limiting; finally, the outer wall of the shaft tube of the bridge housing assembly is inspected by the laser detection component 4.

[0033] The detection principle of the laser detection component 4 used in this 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 is subtracted from the distances between the two laser beams irradiating the surface object through data analysis to obtain the diameter of the outer wall of the shaft tube here. 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, and two sink grooves are symmetrically provided on the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31. A bidirectional threaded rod 311 is rotatably provided inside the sink groove, and a driven bevel gear 312 is fixedly provided in the middle of the bidirectional threaded rod 311. The two threaded sections on the bidirectional threaded rod 311 are both provided with an L-shaped push rod 313, and a ball is provided at one end of the L-shaped push rod 313 that contacts the bridge housing assembly; the other end of the L-shaped push rod 313 is slidably provided inside the sink groove; a limit spring is sleeved between the L-shaped push rod 313 and the end of the bidirectional threaded rod 311; a dual-axis motor 314 is also fixedly provided inside the positioning platform 31, and the two driving shafts of the dual-axis motor 314 are both connected to the driving bevel gear 315, and the driving bevel gear 315 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 312 at the corresponding position.

[0035] See also Figure 3 The center position of the positioning platform 31 is telescopically provided with an extension and lowering platform 316 , and a dynamic detector is provided inside the extension and lowering 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, and ensure the accuracy of its subsequent detection results; in the process of completely placing the bridge housing assembly on the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31 through the sling, the extending and lowering platform 316 will first fit with the middle inner wall of the bridge housing assembly. As the bridge housing assembly descends, it will drive the extending and lowering platform 316 to move, and further the dynamic detector will move. During its movement, it will control the dual-axis motor 314 to start, and the dual-axis motor 314 will start to indirectly drive the two-way threaded rods 311 on the front and rear sides to rotate. During its rotation, it will control the two L-shaped push rods 313 on the same two-way threaded rod 311 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, 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 expanded 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 extending and lowering platform 316 to reduce the friction resistance when the bridge housing assembly and the extending 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 to the detection platform 1 by bolts; the upper end of the table rail seat 21 is provided with a vertical base 22 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 slide up and down respectively and are 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 inside 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 fixed and lifted to the upper end surface of the positioning platform 31 by the clamp-type sling to complete the multi-point synchronous outward expansion coaxial positioning, the clamp-type sling 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 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 shaft hole of the bridge housing assembly, if the shaft 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 The top of the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 222 is connected to the T-shaped rod 223, and the two ends of the transverse section of the T-shaped rod 223 are provided with ball bearings.

[0042] When the concentric drive assembly 23 needs to be adaptively adjusted in position, it will drive the U-shaped card seat 226 to move up and down within 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 away from each other, thereby causing the locking columns 225 to contact the corresponding inner walls of the U-shaped card seat 226, completing the position locking of the U-shaped card seat 226 (its adaptive adjustment state is shown in the figure). Figure 5 shown).

[0043] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The concentric drive assembly 23 includes a cylinder seat 231 fixed on the U-shaped base 226 by bolts, and a telescopic cylinder 232 is installed on the cylinder seat 231. The end of the telescopic cylinder 232 is connected to a fixed sleeve 233, and the interior of the fixed sleeve 233 is connected to a single-axis motor 234, and the output end of the single-axis motor 234 is connected to a screw threaded rod 235, and the screw threaded rod 235 is connected to a one-way component 236. Two symmetrical side push plates 237 are provided on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 233 through a pin shaft. The side push plates 237 are connected to the one-way component 236 by a connecting rod 238, and a rubber pad is provided on the outer wall of the side push plate 237 facing the bridge housing assembly to be tested; the fixed sleeve 233 is threadedly connected to one end facing the fixed limit member 3 with a positioning cone 239 for guiding the insertion into the shaft hole of the bridge housing assembly; 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 assemblies 23 on both sides are synchronously inserted into the shaft hole of the axle 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. 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 detection results on both sides. In order to ensure that the side push plate 237 is in a vertical state after being 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 of one side near the fixed limit member 3, and the end of the 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 provided inside the gear set 241. The outer wall of the gear set 241 is connected to a bidirectional screw rod 242 corresponding to the number of through holes. Two relative movable links 243 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw rod 242, and one end of the movable link 243 passing through the through hole is connected to an arc-shaped external support block 244, and a ball is provided on the outer wall of the arc-shaped external support block 244; the interior of the fixed sleeve 233 is provided with a limiting block 245 hinged to all movable links 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 continues to rotate forward. At this time, the one-way component 236 connected to the connecting rod 238 controls the screw threaded rod 235 and does not interact with it. The continuous forward rotation of the screw threaded rod 235 drives the gear set 241 to work, and 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 inside the same through hole to decrease until it hits the inner wall of the axial hole, 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 link 243 is to provide a displacement groove inside the movable link 243, and then set a connecting block inside the displacement groove to connect with 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 links 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, thereby ensuring the detection effect. In the process of multi-point outward expansion synchronous adjustment of the 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 used in a single position (that is, in the same through hole) to offset the opposite side offset trend, thereby fully ensuring the concentric positioning effect.

[0048] Specifically, the one-way component 236 used in this application is a common electromagnetic controller. When the single-axis motor 234 rotates forward, the rotation of the screw threaded rod 235 can selectively drive the corresponding gear group 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 group 241 and the connecting rod 238 to return to their initial positions.
