Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more comprehensible, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0019] Referring to Figure 1 , the present utility model provides a quality inspection platform for gear production, including a feeding table 1, a testing table 2 and a feeding mechanism 3. The testing table 2 is arranged on one side of the feeding table 1, and a mounting seat 4 is rotatably arranged on the testing table 2. The feeding mechanism 3 is arranged between the feeding table 1 and the testing table 2 for transferring the gear to the mounting seat 4. A ejecting mechanism 6 is installed inside the feeding table 1, and a support plate 5 is arranged on the feeding table 1. The support plate 5 is used to place the gear to be detected. A limiting plate 501 is arranged on the support plate 5 to ensure that the gear can be accurately placed at a predetermined position. A through hole is arranged at the bottom of the support plate 5, and the ejecting mechanism 6 passes through the through hole at the bottom of the support plate 5 to jack up the gear to a certain height so that the feeding mechanism 3 can accurately grab the gear; in practical applications, the ejecting mechanism 6 can adopt driving elements such as cylinders or electric push rods, and by controlling the telescopic movement of the driving elements, the function of jacking up the gear from the support plate 5 can be realized.

[0020] Referring to Figure 2, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding support 301, on which a lifting mechanism and a rotating mechanism are provided. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting lead screw 302 and a lifting motor 303. The output shaft of the lifting motor 303 is connected to the lifting lead screw 302, and the nut of the lifting lead screw 302 is connected to the feeding support 301, thereby realizing the lifting movement of the feeding mechanism 3. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft 313 and a rotating motor 314. The rotating shaft 313 is arranged at the top of the lifting lead screw 302 and connected to the support arm 304, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 314 is connected to the rotating shaft 313, thereby realizing the rotating movement of the feeding mechanism 3. Through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism and the rotating mechanism, the gear can be accurately transferred from the pallet 5 to the mounting seat 4.

[0021] Above the end of the support arm 304, a material taking cylinder 305 is provided, and below it, a material taking tray 306 is provided. An unlocking rod 307 is provided on the piston rod of the material taking cylinder 305. The unlocking rod 307 penetrates through the material taking tray 306. A number of jaw seats 308 are circumferentially arrayed around the unlocking rod 307 on the material taking tray 306. Jaws 309 are provided on the jaw seats 308. A push plate 310 and a buffer spring 312 are provided on the unlocking rod. The buffer spring 312 is arranged between the material taking tray 306 and the push plate 310, and its two ends are respectively connected to the unlocking rod 307 and the push plate 310. The middle of the jaw 309 is rotatably connected to the jaw seat 308. A connecting rod 311 is provided between the jaw 309 and the push plate 310. The two ends of the connecting rod 311 are respectively rotatably connected to the push plate 310 and the jaw 309. When the piston rod of the material taking cylinder 305 extends, the unlocking rod 307 will push the push plate 310 to move downward, thereby driving the jaws 309 to contract inward through the connecting rod 311 to clamp the gear. When the piston rod of the material taking cylinder 305 retracts, the buffer spring 312 will push the push plate 310 to move upward, thereby driving the jaws 309 to open outward through the connecting rod 311 to release the gear.

[0022] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the mounting seat 4 includes a rotating seat 401, the rotating seat 401 is rotatably connected to the test bench 2, and a driving gear 402 is provided thereon. The driving gear 402 is connected to the driving device of the detection equipment, thereby realizing the precise rotation of the mounting seat 4; inside the rotating seat 401, a jacking spring 406 and a conical plug 405 are provided. The jacking spring 406 is arranged between the conical plug 405 and the inner bottom surface of the rotating seat 401, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two. A number of expansion pieces 403 are provided on the rotating seat 401. A number of expansion pieces 403 are circumferentially arrayed around the conical plug 405 and an annular spring 404 is sleeved on the outside thereof. The lower end of the expansion piece 403 is hinged to the rotating seat 401, so that the expansion piece 403 can be contracted under the elastic force of the annular spring 404.

[0023] For the convenience of understanding the present utility model, the following combines Figure 1 -Figure 4 The working principle of this solution is described in detail as follows:

[0024] During feeding, the unlocking lever 307 will push the push plate 310 to move downward, thereby driving the clamping jaws 309 to contract inward through the connecting rod 311, and jacking up the gear clamping of the top feeding mechanism 6; subsequently, the rotating motor 314 drives it to rotate above the mounting seat 4, and the lifting motor 303 drives the support arm 304 to descend, sleeving the gear outside the expansion piece 403. Before the gear contacts the expansion piece 403, the unlocking lever 307 first contacts the top of the conical plug 405 and compresses it into the rotating seat 401. At the same time, the expansion piece 403 contracts under the elastic force of the annular spring 404. When the gear descends to the specified position, the unlocking lever 307 rises, and the conical plug 405 extends under the action of the jacking spring 406 to push the expansion piece 403 outward to fix the gear thereon. At this time, under the action of the buffer spring 312, the clamping jaws 309 still maintain the state of clamping the gear. When the unlocking lever 307 is fully reset, the clamping jaws 309 are disengaged from the contact with the gear.

[0025] The conical plug 405 can extend different lengths to adapt to gears with different shaft hole diameters, thereby fixing them.

[0026] After the test is completed, the clamping jaws 309 first clamp the gear, and then the unlocking lever 307 pushes the conical plug 405 into the rotating seat 401 to unlock, realizing the discharging of the gear.

[0027] The above specific implementation manners of the present utility model do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. Any other corresponding changes and deformations made according to the technical concept of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
