Abstract

This invention discloses a method for accurately measuring the actual mounting depth of a spherical plain bearing. The method involves collecting position data of points on the upper surface of the bearing support and performing plane fitting to obtain planar parameters. Multiple data points on the inner ring end face of the bearing are collected under different rotational states, and plane fitting is performed according to the collection batches to obtain the normal vector of the inner ring end face for each batch. An optimization function is established using the coordinates of the bearing's center as parameters, and a nonlinear optimization method is used to solve for the coordinates of the center point of the inner ring. The distance from the center of the bearing to the upper surface of the bearing support is calculated to obtain the actual mounting depth value of the bearing. This invention solves the problems of low accuracy in measuring the actual mounting depth of spherical plain bearings, poor consistency of measurement results, and the inability to use the measurement process in complex assembly environments and confined spaces.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of spherical plain bearing assembly, and specifically relates to a method for accurately measuring the actual installation depth of spherical plain bearings. Background Technology

[0002] Spherical plain bearings are a special type of sliding bearing used to achieve relative rotational or oscillating motion between two components. The actual installation depth of spherical plain bearings is crucial to their performance; inaccurate installation depth can lead to uneven stress distribution within the bearing, impaired movement, accelerated wear, and even equipment failure.

[0003] Measuring the actual mounting depth of spherical plain bearings typically involves calipers or depth gauges, a process that relies on manual operation. The measurement results are susceptible to human error and cannot meet high-precision requirements. Furthermore, using contact measuring tools presents challenges in operation and makes them unsuitable for confined spaces or complex assembly environments.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology for measuring the actual installation depth of spherical bearings, the present invention discloses a method for accurately measuring the actual installation depth of spherical bearings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention discloses a method for accurately measuring the actual mounting depth of spherical plain bearings, which can solve the problems of low measurement accuracy, poor consistency of measurement results, and inability to use the measurement process in complex assembly environments and confined spaces.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for accurately measuring the actual mounting depth of a spherical plain bearing involves: collecting position data of points on the upper surface of the bearing support and performing plane fitting to obtain plane parameters; repeatedly collecting surface point position data of the inner ring end face of the bearing under different rotational states and performing plane fitting according to the collection batches to obtain the normal vector of the inner ring end face of the bearing for each batch; establishing an optimization function with the coordinates of the bearing ball center as parameters and using a nonlinear optimization method to solve for the coordinates of the center point of the inner ring of the bearing; and calculating the distance from the center of the bearing ball to the upper surface of the bearing support to obtain the actual mounting depth value of the bearing.

[0008] To better realize the present invention, the following steps are further included:

[0009] Step 1: Collect point cloud data of the upper surface of the spherical bearing support, and perform plane fitting through the point cloud data to obtain the position parameter p0 of the upper surface of the spherical bearing support and the normal vector v0 of the upper surface of the support.

[0010] Step 2: Collect point cloud data of the inner ring end face of the spherical plain bearing under different rotation states, and perform planar fitting sequentially according to the batch of point cloud data collected from the inner ring end face of the spherical plain bearing.

[0011] Step 3: Calculate the normal vector of the end face of the inner ring of the spherical plain bearing under different rotational states;

[0012] Step 4: With the constraint that the distance from the inner ring end face of the spherical plain bearing to the center of the spherical plain bearing remains constant, establish an objective function with the coordinates of the center of the spherical plain bearing as parameters;

[0013] Step 5: Based on the objective function, use a nonlinear optimization method to solve for the coordinates of the ball center of the spherical bearing;

[0014] Step 6: Calculate the distance between the center of the spherical plain bearing ball and the upper surface of the spherical plain bearing support to obtain the actual mounting depth value of the spherical plain bearing.

[0015] To better realize the present invention, the objective function is further defined as follows:

[0016]

[0017] Where: F(x, h) represents the objective function; pij represents the coordinates of the j-th point on the inner ring end face in the i-th rotation state; x represents the coordinates of the ball center of the spherical bearing; h represents the normal distance from the inner ring end face of the spherical bearing to the ball center; vi represents the normal vector of the inner ring end face.

[0018] To better realize the present invention, the formula for calculating the actual installation depth value is: H=(p0-x)·v0-h;

[0019] Where: H represents the actual mounting depth; p0 represents the position of the upper surface of the spherical plain bearing support; x represents the coordinates of the center of the spherical plain bearing ball; v0 represents the normal vector of the upper surface of the support; and h represents the normal distance from the inner ring end face of the spherical plain bearing to the center of the ball.

[0020] To better realize the present invention, in step 2, the point cloud data of the inner ring end face is collected in batches greater than or equal to 10 times.

[0021] To better realize the present invention, further, taking the horizontal state of the inner ring end face as the initial batch of acquisition, the inner ring end face is rotated in the counterclockwise and clockwise directions respectively relative to the initial state to acquire point cloud data for the remaining batches.

[0022] To better realize the present invention, the difference in the inclination angle of the inner ring end face of two adjacent batches relative to the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 5°.

[0023] To better realize the present invention, point cloud data is further acquired using lidar.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0025] This invention fits the ball center position of the spherical plain bearing with the surface point position data of the inner ring end face of the spherical plain bearing collected multiple times. This not only avoids the influence of different rotation states of the inner ring of the spherical plain bearing on the ball center position, but also improves the accuracy of the ball center position calculation results. It improves the measurement accuracy of the actual installation depth of the spherical plain bearing with non-contact digital means, and solves the problems of large errors, low accuracy and difficulty in use in complex assembly environments and confined spaces when using contact tools manually.
