Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inspection tools, in particular to a spline shaft runout inspection tool. Background Art

[0002] Spline radial runout is one of the key parameters of the spline. This parameter reflects the radial error of the spline and has a great influence on the transmission accuracy of the spline. Therefore, measuring the radial runout of the spline is essential in spline production and product assembly.

[0003] If the spline is on the outer wall of the shaft, its radial runout is easier to measure, but when the spline is in the inner hole of the shaft, Figure 1 A spline shaft 100 is shown, one end of which is an internal spline end 101 with an internal spline. The radial runout of the internal spline requires a gear measuring instrument or an internal spline comprehensive gauge to control the accuracy of the internal spline of the product. The gear measuring instrument takes a long time to detect (an average of 3-5 minutes per piece), and the internal spline comprehensive gauge cannot detect the specific radial runout value, which is not conducive to the control of the internal spline accuracy during the processing process and is prone to produce a large number of defective parts.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content

The measuring instrument 3 is a dial indicator or a micrometer.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the utility model aims to solve the problem of providing a spline shaft runout inspection tool, including a rotating bracket 1, the rotating bracket 1 including a first arm 11 and a second arm 12 arranged perpendicular to each other, the first arm 11 is rotatably connected with an external spline plug gauge 2 for positioning the spline shaft 100, the external spline plug gauge 2 is sleeved and matched with the internal spline end 101 of the spline shaft 100, and the external spline plug gauge 2 is coaxial with the spline shaft 100, and the rotating bracket 1 can rotate circumferentially around the axis of the external spline plug gauge 2; the second arm 12 is provided with a measuring instrument 3 for measuring the runout of the outer peripheral wall of the spline shaft 100, and the head 31 of the measuring instrument 3 presses the outer peripheral wall of the spline shaft 100. It transmits the change in the spacing between the top surface of the inner spline and the outer wall of the spline shaft 100 to the measuring instrument 3, thereby realizing the measurement of the radial runout value of the inner spline. It has the advantages of simple structure and fast measurement. The utility model can also adapt to the measurement of inner spline shafts 100 of different sizes by replacing the external spline plug gauge 2. It has a multi-purpose function, can save costs and improve economic benefits.

[0041] In this embodiment, the rotating bracket 1 includes a first arm 11 and a second arm 12 which are perpendicularly arranged to each other, the external spline plug gauge 2 is arranged on the first arm 11, and the measuring instrument 3 is arranged on the second arm 12. The rotating bracket 1 can rotate circumferentially around the axis of the external spline plug gauge 2. During measurement, the measuring instrument 3 is inserted into the through hole 121 on the second arm 12, and the head 31 of the measuring instrument 3 presses the outer peripheral wall of the spline shaft 100. The measuring instrument 3 is fixed by tightening the bolt 122. The inspector holds the spline shaft 100 in one hand and rotates the rotating bracket 1 for one circle with the other hand to complete the runout detection. The runout value is obtained by subtracting the maximum value and the minimum value measured by the measuring instrument 3. The utility model is simple to manufacture, has a low manufacturing cost, is easy to use, and can realize that the handheld inspection tool can directly measure the product on the production line at any time, read the runout value, and the test result can be obtained in more than ten seconds. The method of use is simple, which improves the detection efficiency and ensures the product quality at the same time. The skill requirements of the inspector are low, and the operator can be proficient in operation after a few minutes of training.

[0042] In this embodiment, the measuring instrument 3 is a dial indicator or a micrometer. The dial indicator or the micrometer can be used for measurement, or other measuring instruments 3 known in the art can be used.

[0043] As another preferred solution of the present invention, a bushing 123 is installed in the through hole 121. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the setting of the bushing 123 avoids contact friction between the measuring instrument 3 and the through hole 121 on the second arm 12 , reduces damage to the measuring instrument 3 , and plays a role in protecting the measuring instrument 3 .

[0044] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a mounting hole 111 for mounting the external spline plug gauge 2 is provided on the first arm 11, and a bearing 112 is mounted in the mounting hole 111. The inner ring of the bearing 112 is tightly connected to the external spline plug gauge 2, and the outer ring of the bearing 112 is tightly connected to the mounting hole 111. In this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the arrangement of the bearing 112 enables the rotating bracket 1 to rotate more smoothly relative to the external spline plug gauge 2.

[0045] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the external spline plug gauge 2 is integrally provided with a first stopper 21, and the first stopper 21 cooperates with the inner end stopper of the mounting hole 111. The external spline plug gauge 2 is detachably provided with a second stopper 22, and the second stopper 22 cooperates with the outer end stopper of the mounting hole 111. The second stopper 22 is detachably connected to the external spline plug gauge 2 by a locking bolt 221. In this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the detachable connection structure design allows the external spline plug gauge 2 to be replaced to adapt to the measurement of internal spline shafts 100 of different sizes, and has a multi-purpose function, which can save costs and improve economic benefits. The first stopper 21 and the second stopper 22 limit the forward and backward movement of the external spline plug gauge 2 relative to the second arm 12.

[0046] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the external spline plug gauge 2 includes an external spline segment 23, and the external spline segment 23 is provided with a small head end 231 and a large head end 232, the small head end 231 is an insertion end, and the indexing arc tooth thickness S2 of the large head end 232 is greater than the indexing arc tooth thickness S1 of the small head end 231. In this embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, during measurement, the external spline plug gauge 2 is inserted from the insertion end of the small head into the internal spline end 101 of the spline shaft 100. Since the dividing arc tooth thickness S2 of the large head end 232 is greater than the dividing arc tooth thickness S1 of the small head end 231, the external spline plug gauge 2 can be better inserted into the internal spline end 101. As the external spline plug gauge 2 is inserted deeper and deeper into the internal spline end 101, the fitting clearance between the external spline plug gauge 2 and the internal spline end 101 becomes smaller and smaller, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
