[0060] The fixing assembly is arranged on the base 1 and is used to fix the gear to be detected;

[0061] The controller is electrically connected to the driving assembly and the detection assembly.

[0062] It should be noted that:

[0063] The swing rod 16 is rotatably connected at one end in the annular frame 5 and is slidably arranged in a preset annular groove 501 in the annular frame 5. In order to facilitate the determination of the angle between the two swing rods 16, a scale can be arranged on the circumference of the annular frame 5. Further, in order to determine that the swing rod 16 will not move after being adjusted, a fixing member, for example, a bolt, should be arranged. A certain friction force can also be arranged between the annular groove 501 and the swing rod 16, which can guarantee that the swing rod 16 will not move easily.

[0064] The gear detection device of the present application is used to place the gear to be detected on the base 1, fix the gear to be detected by the fixing assembly, control the height adjusting unit 3, the rotation adjusting unit and the radial adjusting unit in the driving assembly, and cooperate with the tooth surface detection unit, the tooth pitch detection unit and the end surface detection unit in the detection assembly to complete the tooth surface detection, tooth pitch detection and end surface detection of the gear. By arranging the detection assembly, the driving assembly, the fixing assembly and the controller, the tooth surface detection, tooth pitch detection and end surface detection are integrated into a set of detection device under the cooperation of various assemblies, which simplifies the detection process and improves the detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0065] Please combine Figures 1-7 The various components of the present application will be described in detail.

[0066] Firstly, the base 1 is a rectangular platform made of high-strength steel, and the bottom is provided with a non-slip pad for stabilizing the device. The bottom plate is a rectangular steel plate with a thickness of 10 mm and the surface is treated with anti-rust treatment. The non-slip pad is made of rubber material and is pasted on the bottom of the bottom plate to increase the friction. The adjusting feet are adjustable bolts installed on the four corners of the bottom plate for adjusting the levelness of the base 1.

[0067] Secondly, the support frame 2 includes a stand and a cross beam. The stand is fixed vertically on the base 1, and the cross beam is perpendicular to the top end of the stand. The lifting plate 4 is installed at the end of the cross beam away from the stand through the height adjusting assembly.

[0068] Furthermore, the tooth surface detection unit includes two tooth-shaped templates 8 and an image collector I.

[0069] The two tooth-shaped templates 8; the tooth-shaped templates 8 are matched with the tooth surface of the gear to be detected on both sides, and both sides are installed with coated cotton; the two tooth-shaped templates 8 are respectively detachably installed on the two swing rods 16; the coated cotton of one of the tooth-shaped templates 8 is soaked with a dyeing agent, and the coated cotton of the other tooth-shaped template 8 is soaked with a cleaning agent.

[0070] The image collector I is installed on the tooth-shaped template 8 where the cleaning agent is located, and is used for collecting the image of the tooth surface.

[0071] It should be noted that:

[0072] The detachable connection mode between the tooth-shaped template 8 and the swing rod 16 is not limited, for example, buckles, bolts, adhesives and the like can be used, as long as detachable connection can be achieved, and details are not described herein.

[0073] The dyeing agent and the cleaning agent used in the application are used in a matched manner; the dyeing agent is mainly used for dyeing the tooth surface to enlarge defects on the tooth surface, such as recesses or protrusions, so that the subsequent image comparison result is more obvious through the adhesion of the dyeing agent; the cleaning agent is used for eliminating the color of the dyeing agent to restore the normal tooth surface. When the tooth surface has a crack, the dyeing agent will enter the crack, and at this time, the cleaning agent cannot decompose the dyeing agent in the crack, so whether the crack exists can be judged when the image is collected.

[0074] When the tooth surface is detected, the dyeing agent is attached to the tooth surface through the cotton coating, and then the tooth surface image is collected. By comparing the collected image with the standard image, color difference analysis and similarity analysis can be used to judge the tooth surface condition; for example, if there is a recess, there may be a place without color on the image, if there is a protrusion, there will be a significant difference between the image and the standard image, and if the tooth surface is not flat, there will be a significant difference between the image and the standard image. By attaching the cleaning agent to the tooth surface through the cotton coating, the color can be decomposed, and whether the tooth surface has a crack can be judged on the image.

[0075] In addition, the tooth pitch detection unit includes a distance sensor; the distance sensor is installed on the tooth-shaped template 8 where the image collector is located, and is used to measure the distance from the tooth surface.

[0076] Secondly, please combine Figures 5-6 The end face detection unit includes an end face template 15; the end face template 15 is horizontally arranged, the upper end face is installed at the bottom of the annular frame 5, and the lower end face is attached with a pigment; the image collector two is arranged on one side of the end face template 15; the image collector two is used to collect the end face image of the gear to be detected.

[0077] It should be noted that the end face template 15 in the end face detection unit cannot interfere with the swing rod 16, and an L-shaped swing rod 16 can be used to avoid interference in specific operation.

[0078] As the core structure in the application, the controller is used to:

[0079] I. Control the height adjusting unit 3 to work, drive the lifting plate 4 to descend by a preset height;

[0080] Control the rotation adjusting unit to work, drive the annular frame 5 to rotate by a preset number of turns; then control the height adjusting unit 3 to reset, and control the image collector two to collect the end face image one;

[0081] The height adjusting unit 3 is controlled to work, driving the lifting plate 4 to descend by a preset height two; the rotating adjusting unit is controlled to work, driving the annular frame 5 to rotate by a preset number of turns; the height adjusting unit 3 is controlled to reset, and the image collector two is controlled to collect the end face image two; wherein, the preset height one is less than the preset height two, and the preset height two is the distance between the end face sample 15 and the end face of the gear to be detected.

[0082] It is judged whether there is a part with pigment color in the end face image one and / or a part without pigment in the end face image two, and if there is, it is determined that the gear end face has defects, and the end face detection is completed.

[0083] It should be noted that the preset number of turns can be one turn, two turns, etc., without special requirements; the difference between the preset height one and the preset height two is set according to the allowable error of the end face of the gear to be detected, for example, the flatness error of the end face of the gear to be detected can be 0.1 cm, and the difference between the preset height one and the preset height two is 0.1 cm.

[0084] II, the radial adjusting unit is controlled to work, so that the two tooth-shaped samples 8 enter the tooth groove of the gear to be detected; the rotating adjusting unit is controlled to work, driving the annular frame 5 to rotate in one direction by a preset angle, so that the dyeing agent on the coated cotton adheres to the tooth surface; then the rotating adjusting unit is controlled to reset and then rotate in the opposite direction by a preset angle to make the dyeing agent on the coated cotton adhere to the other tooth surface of the tooth groove; finally, the rotating adjusting unit is controlled to reset first, and then the radial adjusting unit is controlled to reset.

[0085] The rotating adjusting unit is controlled to work, driving the annular frame 5 to rotate by a tooth groove angle, then the radial adjusting unit is controlled to work, so that the two tooth-shaped samples 8 enter the next tooth groove; the image collector one is controlled to collect the images of the two tooth surfaces after dyeing respectively, and the images are compared with the preset standard images, and if the similarity is lower than the preset value, it is determined that the corresponding tooth surface has defects.

[0086] When the rotating adjusting unit is controlled to work in the new tooth groove for tooth surface dyeing, the coated cotton with cleaning agent will clean and decompose the color on the dyed tooth surface, and the image collector one is controlled to collect the tooth surface image again before the tooth-shaped sample 8 leaves the tooth groove, and it is judged whether the image has color accumulation, and if so, it is judged that the tooth surface has the risk of crack defects, and the tooth surface detection is completed.

[0087] It should be noted that the preset angle is determined according to the gear to be detected and the rack sample, which satisfies the attachment of the coated cotton to the tooth surface.

[0088] III. In the process of tooth surface detection, when the tooth profile template 8 first enters the tooth groove, the distance between the tooth surface of the tooth groove and the distance sensor is detected; the data set is formed by comparing the detected distances in each tooth groove, and if there is a difference in the data set that exceeds a preset difference, it is determined that the tooth pitch is uneven, and the tooth pitch detection is completed.

[0089] It should be noted that the preset difference is determined according to the empirical value.

[0090] Further, in order to avoid collision between the rack template and the base 1, please refer to Figure 5 An auxiliary groove 101 is formed on the base 1 to avoid interference between the rack template and the base 1. At the same time, the auxiliary groove 101 can also collect the dyeing agent and the cleaning agent.

[0091] Of course, in some embodiments of the present application, the detection assembly can also include a addendum circle detection unit; the addendum circle detection unit includes an addendum circle template, the addendum circle template is installed at one end of the tooth profile template 8 close to the center of the annular frame 5, and the addendum circle template is attached with a pigment;

[0092] The controller is also used for:

[0093] IV. Control the radial adjustment unit to work, so that the two tooth profile templates 8 move a preset distance one;

[0094] Control the rotation adjustment unit to work, drive the annular frame 5 to rotate a preset number of turns; then control the radial adjustment unit to reset, and observe whether there is color on the addendum circle of the gear;

[0096] If there is color on the addendum circle when the radial adjustment unit is reset for the first time and / or there is not all color on the addendum circle when the radial adjustment unit is reset for the second time, if there is, it is determined that the addendum circle of the gear has defects, and the addendum circle detection is completed,

[0097] It should be noted that the detection of the addendum circle is similar to the end face detection. For example, the setting of the preset distance one and the preset distance two is also similar to the above.

[0098] The height adjustment unit 3 and the radial adjustment unit in the present application are hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic push rods, which can realize adjustment. Please refer to Figures 1-2 The height adjustment unit 3 is located between the cross beam and the lifting plate 4.

Specifically, a cross-shaped connecting frame 7 is installed on the upper end of the annular frame 5 and the output shaft of the stepping motor 18 is drivingly connected with the connecting frame 7. In consideration of stability, connecting rods 6 can also be installed on the four corners of the connecting frame 7. The upper ends of the connecting rods 6 are slidingly arranged in the preset rotating grooves 401 on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 4.

[0100] Please combine Figures 1-4 The fixing assembly of the present application comprises a pressing block 9 and a receiving block 10. The pressing block 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the end face template 15.
