Figure 1 As shown, its structure is simple and its function is single. Due to the wide variety of half-axle sleeve assemblies and their varying lengths, the sleeve attachments experience significant variations in deformation after welding. Over-positioning occurs during the press-fit process, resulting in a first-pass assembly yield of only 95%, necessitating rework and reassembly. This impacts product quality stability and performance, leading to low production efficiency, high development costs, and poor economic efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0015] This embodiment provides an automatic control positioning device for a half-axle sleeve assembly, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a base 1, a guide shaft 2, a V-shaped positioning seat 3, an elastic top screw 4, a V-shaped positioning block 5, a positioning pin 6, a pressure spring 7 and a cylinder 8.
[0016] The V-shaped seat 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1 via the guide shaft 2; the cylinder 8 is installed between the base 1 and the V-shaped seat 3; the V-block 5 is fixedly connected to the groove of the V-shaped seat 3 via the locating pin 6; the elastic jackscrew 4 is installed in the screw holes on the left and right sides of the V-shaped seat 3; the pressure spring 7 is installed on the guide shaft 2; the pressure spring 7 is installed on the guide shaft 2 and is located between the base 1 and the V-shaped seat 3. It is used to support the V-shaped seat 3 to float up and down, and to make slight adjustments to the half-axle sleeve assembly when there is deviation in the Z direction; the elastic jackscrew 4 is installed in the screw holes on the left and right sides of the V-shaped seat 3. It is used to provide left and right floating support for the V-block 5. It is used to make slight adjustments to the half-axle sleeve assembly when there is deviation in the X direction; the cylinder 8 is installed between the base 1 and the V-shaped seat 3, and the cylinder 8 is fixed to the base 1 and connected to the V-shaped seat 3. When the deformation of the half-axle sleeve assembly exceeds the above-mentioned micro-adjustment range (the equipment pressure monitoring is greater than the set pressure), the equipment will pause the press-fitting, the downward movement of the cylinder 8 and the V-block 5 will be separated from the workpiece positioning surface to eliminate over-positioning, and the equipment will be started again to complete the press-fitting.
[0017] The working principle of this utility model:
[0018] Place the rear axle main reducer assembly on the positioning seat, and place the left and right half-shaft sleeve assemblies on the half-shaft sleeve positioning device. Start the equipment servo electric cylinder to press the left and right half-shaft sleeve assemblies to the final set position. The pressure sensor monitors the pressure values on the left and right ends of the pressing process in real time. During the pressing process, the deviation of the half-shaft sleeve assembly in the Z direction is slightly adjusted by the pressure spring located between the base and the V-type seat. The deviation of the half-shaft sleeve assembly in the X direction is slightly adjusted by the left and right floating of the V-type block. If the deformation of the half-shaft sleeve assembly exceeds the micro-adjustment range (the equipment pressure monitoring is greater than the set pressure), the equipment pauses the pressing cylinder 8 and the downward V-type block 5 disengages from the workpiece positioning surface to eliminate over-positioning. The equipment is started again to complete the pressing.
[0019] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other implementations. Any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
