[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figure 1-2In order to achieve the above-mentioned automatic detection purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a steering yoke spline phase angle gauge, comprising a base 1, a gauge frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a socket 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall inside the gauge frame 2, a yoke body 4 is plugged into the top of the socket 3, a plug-in slot is provided at the top of the socket 3, a plug-in column is integrally formed at the bottom of the yoke body 4, the plug-in column is adapted to the plug-in slot, a side frame 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the socket 3, and the bottom of the side frame 5 is fixedly connected to the base 1.

[0024] In order to achieve the purpose of automated inspection, the right inner wall of the side frame 5 is fixedly connected to an automatic inspection component with one end passing through the inspection frame 2 and the yoke body 4 in sequence and extending to the left inner wall of the inspection frame 2.

[0025] In the above embodiment, by providing an automatic inspection component, it is possible to automatically detect whether the yoke meets the production specifications, thereby saving labor costs.

[0026] Among them, the automatic inspection component includes an electric push rod 6, which is fixedly connected to the right wall surface inside the side frame 5, and the output end of the electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting piece 7. The automatic inspection component also includes a pushing rod 8, the right side of the pushing rod 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 7, the left side of the pushing rod 8 passes through the inspection frame 2 and the yoke body 4 and extends to the left side of the yoke body 4, the left side of the pushing rod 8 is fixedly connected to a pressure sensor 9, and the left side of the pressure sensor 9 is fixedly connected to a short through rod 10 with one end extending to the left wall surface inside the inspection frame 2.
