[0015] In order to make the technical solution more clear to those skilled in the art, Figure 1 -3 Detailed description of the technical solution of this utility model:

[0016] A differential assembly axial clearance detection device includes a support frame 1, a base 2 arranged on the support frame 1, an upper positioning tray 3 arranged on one side of the base 2, a differential assembly 4 arranged on one side of the upper positioning tray 3, and a fixing mechanism 5 arranged on the support frame 1 and on both sides of the differential assembly 4, wherein the fixing mechanism 5 is connected to the detection control mechanism, the base 2 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 1, the upper positioning tray 3 is fixedly mounted on the base 2, the differential assembly 4 and the upper positioning tray 3 are connected by bolts, and the fixing mechanisms 5 on both sides are symmetrical about the straight axis of the differential assembly 4, wherein the detection control mechanism PLC system is connected, the support frame 1 can be used to install a first fixing plate 51 and a second fixing plate 52 to realize the positioning of the detection working device, and enable the base 2 to be installed thereon, so as to facilitate the detection of the upper and lower clearances of the differential assembly 4; the bottom of the base 2 is a hollow structure to facilitate the fixing mechanism 5 to detect the lower end of the differential assembly 4, and it cooperates with the upper positioning tray 3 to realize accurate positioning of the differential assembly 4.

[0017] Furthermore, the upper positioning tray 3 is fixed to the base 2 by bolts, cooperates with the flange of the differential assembly 4, and is connected to the differential positioning holes through two positioning bolts and then fixed on the upper positioning tray 3, thereby limiting the differential assembly 4 and preventing it from moving during the detection process, making the detection more accurate.

[0018] The structure of the fixing mechanism 5 will be described in detail below. The fixing mechanism 5 includes a first fixing plate 51 and a second fixing plate 52 provided on the support frame 1, an expansion sleeve 53 provided on the first fixing plate 51, a push rod 54 provided in the expansion sleeve 53, a fixing rod 55 provided on the second fixing plate 52 and installed in the expansion sleeve 53, and a locking cylinder 56 provided on the fixing rod 55 and the expansion sleeve 53. The first fixing plate 51 and the second fixing plate 52 are fixedly installed on the support frame 1, the expansion sleeve 53 is installed on the first fixing plate 51, and the fixing rod 55 is installed on the second fixing plate 52 and connected to the push rod 54. The locking cylinder 56 is placed horizontally and passes through the expansion sleeve 53 and the fixing rod 55 respectively to fix the expansion sleeve 53 and the fixing rod 55. The expansion sleeve 53 is connected to the detection and control mechanism and can control the axial movement of the expansion sleeve 53. The fixing rod 55 is connected to the detection and control mechanism and can control the rotation of the fixing rod 55; the push rod 54 and the fixing rod 55 are fixed by bolts; the main function of the fixing rod 55 is to connect the push rod 54 and the PLC system to react to the change of the gap, and secondly, the expansion sleeve 53 is moved down to the specified position and then locked through the cooperation of the locking cylinder 56 and the spring ring 57, which increases the stability of the locking of the expansion sleeve 53 and the half-shaft.

[0019] Among them, the front end of the push rod 54 is a cone surface, and the lower part of the expansion sleeve 53 is petal-shaped. When the push rod 54 is installed, the petal head of the lower part of the expansion sleeve 53 is stretched open and clamped with the spline inside the half-shaft gear. The end of the push rod 54 is set in the differential assembly 4.

[0020] The locking cylinder 56 is further provided with a spring collar 57 which cooperates with the locking cylinder 56 to lock the expansion sleeve 53 and the fixing rod 55 .

[0021] The overall working principle of the present invention is systematically described below: the PLC controls the expansion sleeve 53 to move downward, the locking cylinder 56 slides into the positioning hole on the fixed rod 55, and the spring ring 57 contracts to achieve locking. Since the PLC continues to apply downward force to the expansion sleeve 53, the petal head of the expansion sleeve 53 is stretched open and clamped with the spline inside the half-shaft gear. Then the PLC system controls the rotation of the fixed rod 55 mechanism, and the PLC automatically detects the maximum and minimum values of the axial clearance during the rotation process.

[0022] The above technical solutions only reflect the preferred technical solutions of the present utility model. Any changes that may be made to certain parts thereof by technicians in this technical field all reflect the principles of the present utility model and fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
