[0022] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0023] Embodiment 1, in combination with the attached Figures 1-4, A sphericity gauge for a differential housing, comprising a base 1. A number of threaded mounting holes are provided on the base 1, and hexagon socket head cap screws 7 are threadedly connected in the threaded mounting holes, which can facilitate the overall installation at a convenient detection position such as on a machine tool. The housing 2 is located on the base 1 and can be directly placed outside the mounting post 3 during detection. It will automatically center and limit the housing 2 during the detection process. A mounting post 3 is provided on the base 1 and inside the housing 2, and a housing fixing component is provided on the mounting post 3.
[0024] Combined with the attached Figures 1-3 , The housing fixing component includes a receiving groove 4 provided on the mounting post 3. A motor 5 is provided in the receiving groove 4. A shaft is provided at the output end of the motor 5, and the shaft extends out of the receiving groove 4 and is provided with a driving gear 6. Rack bars 8 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the driving gear 6. Tooth grooves capable of meshing with the driving gear 6 are provided on the sides of the rack bars 8 close to the driving gear 6. The rack bars 8 can be moved by the meshing of the driving gear 6 and the tooth grooves. The rack bars 8 are all slidably connected to the mounting post 3, which can provide support for the rack bars 8. Pressing plates 11 are provided at the ends of the rack bars 8 away from each other. The pressing plates 11 are all arc-shaped and conform to the shape of the inner side surface of the housing 2. Anti-slip pads 12 are provided on the sides of the pressing plates 11 away from each other. The anti-slip pads 12 are all in contact with the inner side surface of the housing 2. The anti-slip pads 12 can increase the friction with the inner side surface of the housing 2, making the extrusion tighter and not easy to loosen.
[0025] Combined with the attached Figure 1 , Limit sliders 9 are provided under the rack bars 8. Limit sliding grooves 10 capable of slidably connecting with the limit sliders 9 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the mounting post 3 above the receiving groove 4. The cross-sections of the limit sliders 9 and the limit sliding grooves 10 are both T-shaped. The limit sliders 9 and the limit sliding grooves 10 are used to support the horizontal movement of the rack bars 8 on the mounting post 3. Being set in a T shape can prevent the limit sliders 9 from slipping out of the limit sliding grooves 10.
[0026] Combined with the attached Figures 1-3 , A base is provided on the driving gear 6, and a laser distance sensor 13 is provided on the base. The laser emission point of the laser distance sensor 13 is located at the center of the circle of the base. The radius can be obtained by calculating the distance between the laser emitted by the laser distance sensor and the inner side surface of the housing 2.
[0027] Working principle of the utility model: Place the housing 2 to be detected on the outside of the mounting post 3. The motor 5 drives the driving gear 6 to rotate through the shaft, so that the two racks 8 move in opposite directions through the engaged tooth grooves until the pressing plates 11 at the ends respectively abut against the inner side surfaces of the housing 2. At this time, the anti-slip pads 12 can increase the friction force with the housing 2, making the pressing more compact and not easy to slip off. At this time, the driving gear 6 is located at the central position inside the housing 2. The radius can be obtained by emitting laser by the laser distance sensor and calculating the distance from the inner side surface of the housing 2, which is also convenient for calculating the diameter. When it is necessary to measure the inner diameters of different positions of the housing 2, move the housing 2 outside the mounting post 3 and measure again.
[0028] The above has described the utility model and its implementation manners. Such description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. All in all, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design similar structural manners and embodiments to this technical solution without creative work without departing from the creative purpose of the utility model, they shall fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
