Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] As important transmission parts, internal splines in deep holes are usually used for the connection and torque transmission of mechanical structures. Due to the complex geometric structure and difficult processing, surface defects such as uneven roughness, burn, and micro-cracks are prone to occur. These microscopic surface quality problems will directly affect the meshing performance, transmission accuracy, and fatigue life of the spline. Small imperfections may rapidly evolve into fatigue sources or wear initiation points during service, thereby causing unstable transmission, jamming, and even early failure. Therefore, the surface quality detection of internal splines in deep holes is crucial for the performance and life of the entire transmission system.

[0003] Traditional surface quality detection methods such as color observation, acid etching, surface microhardness, and metallographic method, although widely used, are tedious and time-consuming in operation, and most are destructive. For complex components such as internal splines in deep holes with narrow space and special profile structure, if the above methods are used, the sample or cross-section sample needs to be cut, which will directly damage the workpiece body and cannot achieve full-sample detection.

[0089] The electric swing sliding table 7 is used for adjusting the inclination angle of the probe support frame 8, so as to adjust the inclination angle of the reflective detection probe 9, so as to determine the optimal excitation position of the plasma.

[0090] As shown in Figure 4 Exemplarily, the probe support frame 8 comprises a clamping frame 81 and a support column 82.
