Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser measurement, and in particular to a laser measurement device for an automobile ball screw and a measurement method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the automotive industry, ball screws are key components for precise transmission. Their lead accuracy directly determines the performance of the vehicle's powertrain, braking system, and intelligent driver assistance systems. Accurately measuring ball screw lead is crucial for ensuring the quality of automotive component assembly and the reliability of the entire vehicle.
[0003] Currently, existing ball screw lead measurement technology has significant drawbacks. Traditional measurement devices rely on manual or simple mechanical mechanisms to drive the screw, making it difficult to precisely control the screw's rotation angle to a standard 360 degrees. Using a motor drive, the lack of high-precision angle feedback and calibration mechanisms can lead to accumulated angular deviations during the screw's rotation, affecting the relationship between the nut seat's linear displacement and the number of screw rotations.
[0004] If ball screw rotation relies on manual operation, it's difficult to ensure consistent angles throughout each rotation. Manual rotation can lead to errors in lead calculations due to under- or over-rotation. For example, if the screw doesn't rotate exactly one full revolution, the measured displacement won't accurately reflect the actual lead, impacting the reliability of the measurement. Consequently, manual rotation has a low tolerance for error and is prone to errors. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] The present invention provides Figure 1-8The illustrated device is a laser measuring device for an automotive ball screw, comprising: a mounting base 1, which is arranged in a C shape; a rotating device 2, which is connected to one side of the mounting base 1 and is used to provide power for the rotation of the ball screw; a rotating bearing device 3, which is interspersed and installed on the other side of the mounting base 1 and is used to support the rotation of the ball screw; a linear limit device 4, which is installed on the inner side of the mounting base 1 and is used to guide the movement of the ball nut seat; and a laser emitter 5, which is installed on the mounting base 1 and measures the movement distance of the ball nut seat by emitting laser light, thereby detecting the lead of the ball screw.
[0021] Among them, the rotating device 2 includes: a main shaft, which is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1 through a bearing, and one end of the main shaft is connected to the ball screw through a coupling; a turntable 21, which is connected to the other end of the main shaft, and a handle is installed on the turntable 21; a rotation alignment mechanism 22, which is installed on the mounting seat 1, and the rotation alignment mechanism 22 is used to align the rotation of the turntable 21. The rotation of the turntable 21 can drive the rotation of the main shaft, so that the main shaft can synchronously drive the rotation of the ball screw through the coupling, and the rotation of the turntable 21 is facilitated by the rotation alignment mechanism 22.
[0022] Furthermore, the rotation alignment mechanism 22 includes: a fixed frame, the fixed frame is fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 1; a one-way alignment block 221, the one-way alignment block 221 is located below the fixed frame; an insertion rod 222, one end of the rotation alignment mechanism 22 is fixedly connected to the one-way alignment block 221, the insertion rod 222 is movably matched with the fixed frame, and the insertion rod 222 is T-shaped; a ball 223, a ball groove is provided at the bottom of the one-way alignment block 221, the ball 223 is movably arranged inside the ball groove, and the insertion rod 222 is slidably connected to the fixed frame through a linear bearing. When the turntable 21 moves from the Figure 6When the position shown is rotated 360 degrees, the one-way alignment block 221 is opposite to the inner cavity of the alignment groove 201. At this time, the one-way alignment block 221 falls down due to its own weight and can be stuck in the inner part of the alignment groove 201, indicating that the turntable 21 has rotated one circle. The fixed frame is convenient for limiting the sliding of the insertion rod 222, so that the insertion rod 222 slides up and down more smoothly. By setting the ball 223, when the turntable 21 rotates, the ball 223 can roll on the outer surface of the turntable 21, making the rotation of the turntable 21 smoother. The outer side of the turntable 21 is provided with an alignment groove 201. 01, the one-way alignment block 221 cooperates with the alignment groove 201, and the alignment groove 201 includes an inclined portion 2011 and a flat portion 2012. The inclined setting of the inclined portion 2011 facilitates the guidance of the movement of the one-way alignment block 221. Since the inclined portion 2011 is in contact with the outer circumference of the turntable 21, when the turntable 21 is rotated counterclockwise, the one-way alignment block 221 can be sent out of the inner cavity of the alignment groove 201. The vertical setting of the flat portion 2012 allows the surface to fit with the vertical surface of the one-way alignment block 221, so as to ensure that after the turntable 21 rotates one circle, the one-way alignment block 221 is in contact with the outer circumference of the turntable 21. The positioning block 221 can limit the rotation of the turntable 21 to prevent the turntable 21 from reversing to ensure the accuracy of the rotation. The fitting surface of the flat portion 2012 and the one-way positioning block 221 is in a vertical state. The fitting position of the flat portion 2012 and the one-way positioning block 221 is fixedly embedded with a positioning magnet 202, and the adjacent positioning magnets 202 are in a state of opposite magnetic poles facing each other. The mutual attraction between the two positioning magnets 202 can adsorb the one-way positioning block 221 to a state of fitting with the flat portion 2012, so as to limit the rotation of the turntable 21 and ensure the rotation accuracy of the turntable 21. The movement is more precise, and by moving the one-way alignment block 221 downward and knocking on the surface of the inclined portion 2011, the staff can be prompted that the turntable 21 has rotated 360 degrees, preventing the turntable 21 from rotating excessively, making the lead measurement of the ball screw more accurate. Since the turntable 21 is unlocked only when it is rotated counterclockwise, it can be returned to its original position when it is rotated clockwise to a state in which it is in contact with the one-way alignment block 221. Through the adsorption between the two alignment magnets 202, when the turntable 21 rotates excessively, it can also be rotated back to a state in which it is attached to the one-way alignment block 221, so as to improve the fault tolerance of manual rotation and reduce errors.
[0023] The rotating bearing device 3 includes: a threaded rod 31, which is movably connected to the mounting seat 1; a rotating nut seat 32, which is threadedly matched with the threaded rod 31, and the rotating nut seat 32 is arranged on the outside of the mounting seat 1; a fixing ring 33, which is fixedly mounted on the outside of the mounting seat 1, and the fixing ring 33 is rotatably matched with the rotating nut seat 32 through a bearing; a rotating gear ring 34, which is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating nut seat 32, and the outer side of the rotating gear ring 34 is provided with a one-way card groove in a ring-shaped array; an angle positioning mechanism 35, which is mounted on the fixing ring 33, and the angle positioning mechanism 35 is used to limit the rotation of the rotating gear ring 34 in one direction; a mounting tube 36, the threaded rod 31 The cam 36 is fixedly mounted on the support 1 and the guide rail 38 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The cam 36 is fixedly mounted on the support 1 and the guide rail 38 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The cam 36 is fixedly mounted on the support 1 and the guide rail 38 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The cam 36 is fixedly mounted on the support 1 and the guide rail 38 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The cam 36 is fixedly mounted on the support 1 and the guide rail 38 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The cam 36 is fixedly mounted on the support 1 and the guide rail 38 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The cam 36 is fixedly mounted on the support 1 and the guide rail 38 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The cam 36 is fixedly mounted on the support 1 and the guide rail 38 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The screw thread cooperation between the rotating nut seat 32 and the threaded rod 31 is convenient for providing power for the movement of the threaded rod 31. When the rotating nut seat 32 is rotated, the position of the threaded rod 31 can be advanced, so that the threaded rod 31 can push the mounting cylinder 36 to move in the direction of the ball screw, which is convenient for bearing the rotation of the end of the ball screw. The rotation of the rotating gear ring 34 is conveniently limited by the angle positioning mechanism 35, so that the rotating gear ring 34 can only rotate in one direction clockwise. When the elastic splint 37 elastically clamps and fixes the end of the screw rod, the angle positioning mechanism 35 can clamp the rotating gear ring 34 to prevent the rotating gear ring 34 from rotating, thereby preventing the rotating nut seat 32 from rotating due to vibration. The rod 31 supports the mounting tube 36 more stably, and the mutual cooperation between the guide slide and the slide groove facilitates the movement of the threaded rod 31 to limit the threaded rod 31 so that the threaded rod 31 can only move in a linear manner. That is, when the rotating nut seat 32 is rotated, the linear movement of the threaded rod 31 can be pushed, so that the mounting tube 36 is pushed out from the inside of the guide tube 38 to cooperate with the screw rod. Through the elastic setting of the elastic splint 37, when the end of the screw rod cooperates with the mounting tube 36, the elastic splint 37 will be squeezed, so that the angle of the elastic splint 37 is squeezed to a gradually decreasing state, so as to achieve self-centering adaptive pressing of the end of the ball screw, avoid excessive clamping of the traditional clamp, which may cause damage to the screw rod, and ensure stable rotation of the screw rod during measurement.
[0024] Specifically, the angle positioning mechanism 35 includes: a fixed seat 351, which is fixedly mounted on the fixed ring 33; a sliding block 352, which is slidably arranged inside the fixed seat 351; a one-way clamping block 353, which is connected to the bottom of the sliding block 352, and the one-way clamping block 353 and the sliding block 352 are integrated, and the one-way clamping block 353 cooperates with the one-way clamping groove on the rotating gear ring 34; a spring 354, which is mounted inside the fixed seat 351 and is used to elastically support the sliding block 352; the angle positioning mechanism 35 also includes: a sliding post 355, one end of the sliding post 355 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 352, and a slot is provided on the fixed seat 351 to match the sliding post 355; a rotating hanging ring 356, a fixed post is provided above the sliding post 355, and the fixed post is fixedly installed on the fixed seat 351, the rotating hanging ring 356 is rotatably connected to the fixed post, and the rotating hanging ring 356 is U-shaped, an annular groove is provided on the sliding post 355, and the rotating hanging ring 356 cooperates with the inner cavity of the annular groove. One side of the one-way block 353 is a slope, so that when the one-way slot is rotated clockwise and its slope is squeezed, the one-way block 353 can be pushed out through the component of force. The inner cavity of the one-way slot releases the one-way locking of the rotating gear ring 34 by the one-way block 353, and the sliding of the sliding block 352 is limited by the fixing seat 351, so that the sliding block 352 can only slide in the vertical direction. At the same time, it is also convenient to accommodate the sliding block 352 and the one-way block 353. The compression deformation of the spring 354 is convenient to provide elastic support for the sliding block 352, making the cooperation between the one-way block 353 and the one-way slot more stable. At the same time, it is convenient to provide a restoring force for the sliding block 352, so that when the one-way block 353 is pushed out of the inner cavity of the one-way slot, it moves toward the rotating gear ring 34 The trend makes it easy for the one-way block 353 to continue to cooperate with the next one-way slot as the rotating gear ring 34 rotates, so as to better prevent the rotating gear ring 34 from reversing. When it is necessary to disassemble the relative position between the screw rod and the rotating bearing device 3, the rotating hanging ring 356 is rotated to the horizontal, and the sliding post 355 is pulled upward to rotate the rotating hanging ring 356 to the inside of the annular groove. The sliding post 355 is supported by the rotating hanging ring 356, so that the one-way block 353 can be kept in the state of being stored in the fixing seat 351, so as to keep the angle positioning mechanism 35 unlocked for the rotating gear ring 34.
[0025] Among them, the linear limit device 4 includes: a mounting plate 41, which is mounted on the ball nut seat by bolts; a laser receiver 42, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 41, and the position of the laser receiver 42 corresponds to the laser emitter 5; a guide rod 43, which is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting seat 1; a slide 44, which slides with the guide rod 43; a connecting plate 45, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the slide 44, and the connecting plate 45 is connected to the mounting plate 41 by bolts. Through the installation connection between the mounting plate 41 and the ball nut seat, the movement of the ball nut seat can simultaneously drive the movement of the laser receiver 42 to perform laser ranging. Through the sliding cooperation between the guide rod 43 and the slide 44, the movement of the mounting plate 41 is limited, so that the linear motion of the mounting plate 41 is more stable. Through the cooperation between the connecting plate 45 and the mounting plate 41, the relative position between the mounting plate 41 and the slide 44 is conveniently connected.
[0026] Another object of the present invention is to provide a measurement method of a laser measuring device for a ball screw of an automobile, comprising the following steps: Step 1: First, connect one end of the ball screw to the main shaft through the coupling, install the mounting plate 41 on the ball nut seat through bolts, and then connect the mounting plate 41 to the connecting plate 45 through bolts. Then, rotate the rotating gear ring 34 clockwise so that the one-way card slot on the rotating gear ring 34 pushes the one-way card block 353 upward, so that the locking mechanism 35 of the rotating gear ring 34 is unlocked. Through the sliding cooperation between the guide slide and the guide cylinder 38, the threaded rod 31 is restricted from sliding linearly. The rotatable nut seat 32 and the threaded rod 31 cannot rotate. When the rotating gear ring 34 is rotated, the rotation of the rotatable nut seat 32 can provide thrust for the linear motion of the threaded rod 31, so that the threaded rod 31 can push the mounting cylinder 36 to move in the direction of the ball screw. At this time, the other end of the ball screw squeezes the elastic clamping plate 37, so that the elastic clamping plate 37 is elastically deformed and presses the ball screw, thereby supporting the rotation of the other end of the ball screw. Step 2: Turn the handle on the turntable 21, and guide the relative position between the one-way alignment block 221 and the turntable 21 through the inclined surface 2011 on the turntable 21, so that when the turntable 21 rotates counterclockwise, the one-way alignment block 221 can be pushed out of the inner cavity of the alignment groove 201, and the turntable 21 continues to rotate counterclockwise until the one-way alignment block 221 corresponds to the position of the alignment groove 201 again. The one-way alignment block 221 falls down to the initial state of mutual cooperation with the inner cavity of the alignment groove 201 due to its own weight. At this time, the turntable 21 rotates one circle, and the ball screw is driven to rotate synchronously through the rotating device 2. The linear limiter 4, acting in conjunction with the linear limiter through the ball nut seat, allows the ball screw to rotate, linearly advancing the ball nut seat a certain distance. This, in turn, drives the laser receiver 42 via the mounting plate 41, thereby changing the relative position between the laser emitter 5 and the laser receiver 42. This allows the ball nut seat to be measured, enabling the calculation of the lead of the ball screw per one rotation. The laser emitter 5 and the laser receiver 42 are arranged separately. When the ball screw rotates, the ball nut seat moves, and their relative positions change, the laser receiver 42 captures the changes in the laser signal from the laser emitter 5. Compared to traditional contact measurement, this non-contact method avoids physical contact between the measuring tool and the screw, eliminating measurement errors caused by friction and wear. This significantly improves measurement accuracy and reliability, meeting the stringent requirements for high-precision ball screw lead measurement in automotive manufacturing. The laser emitter 5 and the laser receiver 42 work together to monitor the displacement of the ball nut seat in real time. As the screw rotates, the laser receiver 42 rapidly senses the changes in the laser signal generated by the movement of the ball nut seat and converts the signal into data, enabling real-time acquisition of the ball nut seat displacement. This real-time capability ensures accurate acquisition of the corresponding ball nut seat displacement data for each screw rotation, providing a reliable basis for accurate lead calculation.
