[0002] The differential is a machine that produces a speed difference. Its two output shafts can move at different speeds, but the output torque of the two shafts must be strictly kept the same. The differential on the car has a very important influence on the car's traction, stability, and passability. Therefore, during the manufacturing process, the dimensional accuracy and processing accuracy of the differential case are very high, so its outer diameter size needs to be tested.
[0003] The existing detection method usually uses a micrometer or a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to measure the outer diameter, but this detection method has some shortcomings: 1. When using a micrometer to measure the outer diameter, there will be a cumulative error, and the larger the outer diameter, the greater the cumulative error; 2. The measurement process of using a micrometer is relatively cumbersome; 3. When using a micrometer to measure, the differential housing is directly placed on the test table, and the differential housing cannot be effectively supported, which requires a high level of measurement skills from the operator. Using CMM for measurement, the measurement time is long and the work efficiency is low.
[0004] This application is specially proposed to address the problems that placing the differential housing directly on the test bench will cause the differential housing to lack effective support, which will affect the measurement results; there are many outer diameter positions of the differential housing to be measured, the measurement speed is slow and cannot adapt to mass production in the workshop; and the measurement error is large when measuring manually using a micrometer.
