TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] As a core component in mechanical transmission systems, the geometric size, tooth shape precision and surface quality of gears directly determine the transmission efficiency, running stability and service life of the entire mechanical system. With the development of modern manufacturing towards high precision and intelligentization, especially in the automobile, aviation, mechanical manufacturing and other industries, the quality control of gears is particularly strict. The traditional offline detection is low in efficiency and complex in process, which is difficult to meet the demand of large-scale production, thus promoting the development of efficient and accurate online gear measurement technology.
[0003] The existing gear measurement technology mainly includes mechanical contact measurement and non-contact optical measurement. Although the mechanical contact measurement has high precision, the measurement efficiency is low, and the contact between the probe and the gear surface may cause surface damage, limiting its application in high-speed online detection. The non-contact measurement method uses laser scanning or visual technology to improve the measurement speed and flexibility, but still faces many technical challenges in the actual industrial production environment. The main problems are that the measurement speed and precision cannot be balanced, the precision is easily reduced at high-speed scanning, and high-precision measurement limits the measurement speed, which is difficult to meet the real-time detection demand of the production line. In addition, the existing system has low integration of clamping devices and measuring equipment, which leads to separation of clamping and measuring processes, long switching time and positioning error, affecting the accuracy and stability of the measurement data. At the same time, the complex structure of the gear surface such as various curved surfaces and grooves makes it easy for the laser sensor to produce blind areas or blockages during scanning, resulting in incomplete measurement data and affecting the accuracy of three-dimensional reconstruction.
