Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gear testing equipment technology, and in particular to a portable device for detecting radial runout of shield tunnel main bearing gears. Background Technology

[0002] The main bearing gear of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a key component, responsible for transmitting power and torque and supporting the main shaft. Radial runout detection is used to assess the radial motion instability of the main bearing gear, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the TBM. Radial runout detection involves measuring the maximum amount of variation of the measuring head relative to the center line of the gear shaft by making double-sided contact with the measuring head in the middle of the tooth groove within one revolution of the gear.

[0003] Currently, the radial runout detection of pinions requires placing them in specialized testing equipment and inserting a measuring head into the tooth groove for measurement. Due to their size and weight, large gears cannot be measured using specialized equipment. Furthermore, at present, the radial runout of the gear can only be reflected by detecting the radial runout of the addendum circle. However, because there is a certain error between the radial runout of the working surface of the gear tooth groove and the radial runout of the addendum circle during the machining of large gears, the radial runout of the addendum circle can only indirectly reflect the radial runout of the gear tooth groove.

[0004] Therefore, we provide a portable shield tunnel main bearing gear radial runout detection device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

The support 1 has a slot 11 inside, the rotating shaft 2 is installed inside the slot 11, and the positioning mechanism 3 is installed on the top of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2.

[0031] The bottom of the outer wall of the rotary shaft 2 is rotatably connected to a plug socket 22 via a bearing 21, and the plug socket 22 matches the slot 11.

[0032] The positioning mechanism 3 includes an axial positioning component 31, a rotary bushing 32, a linear slide rail 33, and a radial positioning block 34. The axial positioning component 31 is installed on the top of the outer wall of the rotary shaft 2. The rotary bushing 32 is installed above the axial positioning component 31. The linear slide rail 33 is installed on one side of the rotary bushing 32. The radial positioning block 34 is slidably connected to the surface of the linear slide rail 33.

[0033] Furthermore, the axial positioning assembly 31 includes an axial positioning sleeve 311, a threaded hole 312, and a fixing bolt 313. The axial positioning sleeve 311 is provided on the top of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2. The axial positioning sleeve 311 has a threaded hole 312 inside, and the fixing bolt 313 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 312. By setting the axial positioning sleeve 311, the linear slide rail 33 can be stably positioned above the large gear, avoiding the linear slide rail 33 from decreasing in height and colliding with the large gear during rotation.

[0034] Furthermore, a rectangular socket 321 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotary sleeve 32. The surface of the rectangular socket 321 is provided with a threaded hole 322. A fixing bolt 323 is connected to the threaded hole 322. The rotary sleeve 32 can be used to install the linear slide rail 33. At the same time, it can make the dial indicator 6 rotate stably around the rotary shaft 2 with the rotary sleeve 32 as the center.

[0035] Furthermore, one end surface of the linear slide rail 33 is symmetrically provided with threaded holes 331, and the two sides of the linear slide rail 33 are symmetrically provided with grooves 332. The cross-sectional dimensions of the linear slide rail 33 are the same as the cross-sectional dimensions of the rectangular socket 321. The threads of the threaded holes 322 and 331 are matched. By setting the linear slide rail 33, it can provide movement guidance for the radial positioning block 34.

[0036] It should be noted that when installing the linear guide rail 33, the fixing bolt 2 323 first engages with the threaded hole 2 322, and then with the threaded hole 331, until it is screwed into the interior of the linear guide rail 33.

[0037] Furthermore, the radial positioning block 34 has symmetrically arranged inner protrusions 341 on its inner side, and a threaded hole 342 is opened on the top of the radial positioning block 34. The threaded hole 342 is internally threaded with a fixing bolt 343. By adjusting the position of the radial positioning block 34 on the linear slide rail 33, it can adapt to the radius of the tooth tip / tooth groove surface of different large gears.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of the present invention, a slider 4 is installed on the outer side of the radial positioning block 34. The slider 4 is slidably connected to the linear slide rail 33. The inner wall of the slider 4 is provided with an inner protrusion 41. The bottom of the slider 4 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 42. By setting the slider 4, the dial indicator 6 is driven to move horizontally along the linear slide rail 33 to measure the value.

[0040] Furthermore, a connecting rod 5 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 42. The connecting rod 5 includes a sleeve 51, a rod 52, and a fixing bolt 4 53. The bottom of the mounting base 42 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 51. The rod 53 is inserted into the inside of the sleeve 51 through the fixing bolt 4 52. Fixing holes 511 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the sleeve 51. Insertion holes 531 are evenly opened on the surface of the rod 53. The diameter of the insertion holes 531 is the same as that of the fixing holes 511. Through the cooperation of the sleeve 51, the rod 52, and the fixing bolt 4 53, the part of the dial indicator 6 that is in contact with the large gear can be adjusted.

[0041] Furthermore, a dial indicator 6 is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 5, a measuring head 61 is installed on one side of the dial indicator 6, and a connecting seat 62 is installed on the other side of the dial indicator 6. The measuring head 61 is a plate-shaped machined part with a semi-circular shape.

[0042] The working principle is as follows: First, a portable shield tunnel main bearing gear radial runout detection device is moved to the working position. Firstly, the main bearing gear is placed horizontally on a platform surface. Secondly, the rotary shaft 2 is placed inside the main bearing gear and adjusted to the center position of the main bearing. Thirdly, the axial positioning sleeve 311 is inserted into the rotary shaft 2 and fixed with fixing bolt 313 according to the height of the main bearing gear to be tested. The linear slide rail 33 is placed horizontally on the main bearing and then inserted into the rectangular socket 321 and fixed with fixing bolt 323. Fourthly, the radial positioning block 34 is installed on the linear slide rail 33. The dial indicator 6 is installed at the bottom of the slider 4 via the connecting rod 5. The measuring head 61 is installed on the dial indicator 6 and adjusted to a horizontal state. The measuring head 61 is adjusted to align with the teeth of the main bearing gear. Step 5: Place the radial positioning block 34 against the slider 4 and lock the position of the radial positioning block 34 using fixing bolt 343. Step 6: Using this gear measuring point as the #1 tooth tip / groove, press the dial indicator 6 in 1.0mm, adjust the surface scale to "0", and move the slider 4 so that the measuring head 61 is completely away from the gear. Step 7: Using the rotary shaft 2 as the rotation center, rotate the linear slide rail 33 horizontally and move the slider 4 until it contacts the radial positioning block 34. Record the value of the dial indicator 6, which is the value of the #2 tooth tip / groove. Step 8: Repeat the "Step 7" steps to test all tooth tips / grooves and measure the largest variation among all values ​​to determine the radial runout value of the main bearing gear. This completes the use of a portable shield tunnel main bearing gear radial runout detection device.
