Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of gear production and inspection, and in particular to an inspection device and inspection method for gear production. Background Art
[0002] Currently, in modern manufacturing, gears, as key components in mechanical transmission systems, their quality directly affects the performance and reliability of the entire mechanical system. Therefore, it is particularly important to conduct precise and efficient tests on gears. Traditional gear testing methods often rely on manual operations, which are not only inefficient but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in inaccurate test results.
[0003] In related technologies, traditional manual gear inspection methods mainly include the following steps: First, manually place the gear on the inspection equipment, then manually adjust the inspection position of the gear, and then manually record and analyze the inspection results. This manual operation method is not only time-consuming and laborious but also easily affected by human factors during the whole process, resulting in inaccurate and inconsistent inspection results. To improve the inspection efficiency, in recent years, some enterprises have started to introduce automated inspection equipment such as coordinate measuring machines, etc. However, most of these devices can only achieve single-station inspections and still require manual assistance for gear loading, unloading, and transfer, with a relatively low overall automation level. Although the existing automated inspection equipment has improved the inspection efficiency to a certain extent, there are still obvious defects in actual applications. For example, single-station inspection equipment cannot achieve continuous operation, and each time the gear is replaced, the machine needs to be stopped and readjusted, greatly reducing the inspection efficiency. In addition, due to the lack of an effective automated loading and unloading mechanism, a large amount of manual participation is still required during the inspection process, which not only increases the labor intensity but also affects the reliability and consistency of the inspection results. Therefore, how to improve the automation level of gear inspection and reduce manual intervention has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art such as low efficiency of gear inspection methods, susceptibility of inspection results to human factors, and limited automation level, this application provides an inspection device for gear production and its inspection method.
[0005] The inspection device for gear production and its inspection method provided by this application adopt the following technical solutions: A detection device for gear production, comprising a coordinate measuring machine, a double-station rotating mechanism, an automatic handling mechanism and a feeding mechanism; the double-station rotating mechanism includes a support, a first rotating assembly and two trays, the support is arranged on the coordinate measuring machine, the first rotating assembly is arranged on the support, the first rotating assembly is used to drive the two trays to rotate, and each tray is used to carry and position the gear to be measured; the automatic handling mechanism is used to automatically place the gear to be measured on one tray and remove the measured gear from the other tray after the measurement is completed; the feeding mechanism is used to transport the gears to be measured and the measured gears between the coordinate measuring machine and other workstations.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the device integrates the high-precision measurement ability of the coordinate measuring machine, the efficient station switching function of the double-station rotating mechanism, the intelligent material handling ability of the automatic handling mechanism, and the flexible material transmission characteristics of the feeding mechanism. Specifically, the double-station rotating mechanism is stably installed on the coordinate measuring machine through its support, and the first rotating assembly drives the two trays to rotate alternately to the measurement position, realizing continuous and uninterrupted gear detection operations; the automatic handling mechanism accurately places the gear to be measured on the idle tray and quickly removes the measured gear from the other tray after the measurement is completed, significantly improving the detection efficiency; the feeding mechanism seamlessly connects the coordinate measuring machine and other workstations to ensure the timely supply of the gears to be measured and the smooth output of the measured gears.

Each tray is carefully configured with a positioning rod, which can accurately lock the position of the gear, effectively preventing displacement or inclination during the detection process, thereby greatly improving the measurement accuracy. The introduction of the driving part provides continuous power support for the first rotating assembly, enabling the tray to smoothly switch between the two stations, not only significantly improving the efficiency of the detection operation, but also further strengthening the smoothness of the automated process.
[0009] Optionally, the driving member includes a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, and a first motor. The first motor is mounted on the support, and the output shaft of the first motor passes through the support and is rotatably connected to the support.

The first bevel gear is tightly sleeved on the output shaft of the first motor and fixedly connected thereto, while the second bevel gear is firmly sleeved on the first rotating rod and also fixedly connected. This pair of bevel gears meshes with each other to form a precise mechanism for 90-degree power conversion, enabling the rotational power of the first motor to be efficiently and smoothly transmitted to the first rotating rod, thereby driving the rotating disc and the two trays thereon to perform station switching. This not only ensures the accuracy and stability of the tray rotation but also effectively improves the automation level and operation efficiency of the entire detection process.
[0011] Optionally, the automatic handling mechanism includes a second rotating assembly, a movable assembly, and a clamping assembly. The second rotating assembly is configured to be able to rotate around a fixed axis to facilitate adjusting the working position of the clamping assembly. The movable assembly is connected between the second rotating assembly and the clamping assembly, enabling the clamping assembly to swing or tilt within a certain range to adapt to the handling requirements of gears at different positions.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the second rotating assembly rotates flexibly around the fixed axis, capable of quickly adjusting the working position of the clamping assembly to ensure precise positioning of the gears at different stations. The movable assembly, as the bridge between the second rotating assembly and the clamping assembly, endows the clamping assembly with the ability to swing or tilt within a certain range. This feature enables the clamping assembly to easily adapt to the handling requirements of gears under various complex working conditions. Whether it is a gear in a horizontal position or at an inclined angle, it can be firmly clamped and transported to the designated position. The clamping assembly, with its powerful clamping, handling, and releasing functions, ensures seamless flow of the gears during the detection process, improving both the detection efficiency and ensuring the safety and integrity of the gears.

A flexible rotational connection is achieved between the second rotating rod and the base, ensuring the freedom of rotation. The second motor is stably mounted on the base, and its output shaft is tightly connected to the end of the second rotating rod, forming a stable power transmission path. When the second motor is activated, it can drive the second rotating rod to rotate smoothly and precisely around the base, thereby driving the movable assembly and the clamping assembly disposed at the top end of the second rotating rod to rotate together, realizing flexible adjustment of the working position.
[0015] Optionally, the movable assembly includes a mounting member, a driving cylinder, connecting arms, and two link rods. The mounting member is fixed to the top end of the second rotating rod.

The two link rods are parallel to each other. The clamping assembly is disposed at the other ends of the connecting arms. The clamping assembly is configured to automatically clamp a gear.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, with the mounting member as the core, the movable assembly is fixed to the top end of the second rotating rod. The mounting groove formed therein provides a rotation fulcrum for the connecting arms, enabling the two connecting arms to freely rotate around the mounting member. The other ends of the connecting arms are connected to the two parallel link rods through precise rotational connections, forming a stable parallelogram link mechanism. When the link mechanism is pushed by the driving cylinder, it can drive the connecting arms and the clamping assembly at their ends to swing or tilt smoothly and precisely to adapt to the handling requirements of gears at different positions and angles. The clamping assembly, with its powerful automatic clamping function, ensures the stability and safety of the gear during handling.
[0017] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a third motor and a jaw cylinder. The third motor is disposed on the connecting arm. The third motor is configured to drive the jaw cylinder to rotate. The jaw cylinder is configured to automatically clamp a gear.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the third motor is firmly installed on the connecting arm, and its powerful driving force can drive the jaw cylinder to rotate precisely, thereby adjusting the orientation of the jaws to ensure that the jaws can accurately align with the gear to be clamped. The jaw cylinder, with its fast and stable clamping action, realizes the automatic grasping and releasing of the gear. This not only endows the clamping assembly with the flexible adaptability to gears in different positions and directions, but also further improves the operation efficiency and accuracy of the entire automatic handling mechanism.

This not only significantly improves the coherence and operation efficiency of the entire detection process, but also effectively reduces the cost and risk of manual handling. At the same time, the flexible scheduling and intelligent path planning functions of the AGV further enhance the adaptability of the detection device to different production scenarios, making the entire gear quality detection process more efficient, accurate and controllable.
[0021] Optionally, it further includes a cleaning device, which is arranged on the feeding mechanism and is used to clean the gears to be measured and the measured gears.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning device, with its powerful cleaning ability, can thoroughly clean the gears before and after they enter the detection process, effectively removing impurities such as oil stains and dust on the gear surface to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the detection results. This not only improves the detection efficiency, avoids misjudgment or missed detection caused by gear surface contamination, but also extends the service life of the detection equipment and the gears. At the same time, the close cooperation between the cleaning device and the feeding mechanism realizes the seamless connection of the gears from cleaning to detection, and the entire process is more smooth and efficient.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the gear to be measured is accurately sent to the lower part of the automatic handling mechanism by the feeding mechanism. The automatic handling mechanism flexibly places the gear on the tray, and then the coordinate measuring machine performs high-precision measurement. After the measurement is completed, the double-station rotating mechanism quickly rotates the measured gear to the lower part of the automatic handling mechanism, and then the automatic handling mechanism retrieves the gear and puts it back into the feeding mechanism. The whole process is seamlessly connected, efficient and smooth, and can continuously measure all gears to be measured, significantly improving the detection efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the integrated cleaning device ensures the cleanliness of the gear surface, further enhancing the reliability of the detection results.

[0040] Refer to Figure 1 , The feeding mechanism 9 is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle).

The AGV can also be equipped with an intelligent scheduling system to dynamically adjust the path according to the production plan and improve the logistics efficiency.
[0041] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: By integrating a coordinate measuring machine 1, a two-station rotating mechanism, an automatic handling mechanism, and a feeding mechanism 9, a high degree of automation and intelligence in the gear quality inspection process is achieved. Each component works in coordination to continuously measure all gears to be tested, significantly improving the inspection efficiency and accuracy, and reducing the cost and risk of manual intervention. The two-station rotating mechanism drives two pallets 4 to alternately rotate to the measurement position through the first rotating component 3, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted gear inspection operations.

The feeding mechanism 9 uses an AGV, which has precise navigation capabilities, high transportation speeds, and strong load-carrying capabilities, enhancing the adaptability of the inspection device to different production scenarios.
[0042] Embodiment 2 Referring to Figure 1 , the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that a cleaning device is added. The cleaning device is arranged on the feeding mechanism 9 and is used to clean the gears to be tested and the gears that have been tested. The cleaning device includes nozzles, a water pump, and a filter. The nozzles are evenly distributed on both sides of the AGV and can cover all parts of the gears. The water pump is responsible for delivering clean water to the nozzles, and the filter is used to purify the water quality for recycled water use to avoid secondary pollution. In addition, the cleaning device can also be equipped with a drying function, using a hot air gun to immediately dry the gears after cleaning to ensure that the gear surface is clean without residual moisture.
[0043] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: By adding a cleaning device, the functionality and reliability of the inspection device for gear production are further improved. The effective operation of the cleaning device ensures the cleanliness of the gear surface, eliminates inspection errors caused by impurities such as oil stains and dust, and improves the accuracy and consistency of the inspection results. At the same time, the cleaned gears can directly enter the next process without additional drying time, saving the time cost of production and inspection. The close combination of the cleaning device and the feeding mechanism 9 realizes seamless connection from cleaning to inspection, making the entire inspection process more smooth and efficient.
[0044] Embodiment 3 Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3, the difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment lies in that: the clamping component 8 of the automatic handling mechanism is optimized. In addition to the original jaw cylinder 82, the clamping component 8 is also added with a visual recognition module. The visual recognition module can capture the position and attitude information of the gear in real time, calculate the optimal clamping point through image processing algorithms, and then guide the jaw cylinder 82 to perform precise clamping. The visual recognition module can adopt the combination of an industrial camera and a laser scanner to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of data collection.
[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: by introducing the visual recognition module, the intelligent level and operation accuracy of the automatic handling mechanism are greatly improved. The visual recognition module can monitor the state of the gear in real time to ensure the accuracy and safety of the clamping process. Especially when facing gears of different specifications and shapes, the advantages of the visual recognition module are particularly obvious. It can adaptively adjust the clamping strategy to avoid the limitations brought by manually setting parameters. This improvement not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the applicable range and flexibility of the detection device, enabling it to better cope with complex production environments.
[0046] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited by this.
