Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile component performance detection, in particular to a top clamping and positioning structure. Background Art

[0002] During the manufacturing process, the tooth surfaces of gear pairs are affected by factors such as machining and manufacturing, introducing additional errors. This causes the meshing forces to excite the gear pairs during meshing transmission, generating additional vibration noise. In traditional fuel vehicles, the noise from the engine and other components masks the noise between the gear pairs. However, in new energy electric vehicles, due to the lower operating noise of the motor itself, the gear pair noise can be extremely noticeable, seriously affecting the comfort of the entire vehicle. To this end, gear pair noise testing is required during the off-line manufacturing stage. The two ends of the gear shaft are coaxially clamped to the testing equipment via a centering mechanism. However, due to the different structural forms of the gear shafts, the centering mechanisms of different structures need to be replaced. How to coaxially position the centering mechanism has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

The center mechanism 2 includes a center body 21 that is generally cylindrical. One end of the center body 21 has a centering sleeve 22 that protrudes toward the drive shaft 1, and the other end has a coaxially arranged top column 25. The outer diameter of the centering sleeve 22 gradually decreases in the direction away from the center body 21, and the taper is consistent with the taper of the centering hole 11. A locking mechanism is provided between the drive shaft 1 and the centering sleeve 22, so that the conical surface of the centering sleeve 22 is tightly and concentrically fitted on the conical surface of the centering hole 11. The top column 25 has a top connection portion 26, and the diameter of the top connection portion 26 gradually decreases in the direction away from the center body 21. The minimum diameter of the top connection portion is smaller than the inner diameter of the gear to be measured, and the maximum diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the gear to be measured.

[0023] The end of the centering sleeve 22 has a positioning groove 23 that is arranged radially through; the centering hole 11 has a positioning block 12 that protrudes radially inward, and the width of the positioning block 12 matches the width of the positioning groove 23 and fits in the positioning groove 23.

[0024] In the above structure, the outer conical surface of the centering sleeve cooperates with the inner conical surface of the centering hole, allowing the top mechanism to be quickly and coaxially installed in the centering hole of the drive shaft. At the same time, the cooperation between the positioning groove and the positioning block can better transmit torque.

[0025] The end of the drive shaft 1 has threaded holes uniformly distributed along the circumference of the centering hole 11. The centering sleeve 22 has a flange 24 that protrudes radially outward from the sleeve 22. The flange 24 has bolt holes corresponding to the threaded holes. The locking mechanism comprises bolts that pass through the bolt holes and connect to the threaded holes. In this embodiment, the tip body 21 protrudes relative to the centering sleeve 22 to form the flange 24.

[0026] The top connecting portion 26 has a coaxially arranged guide rod, the end of which has a guide block 28 protruding radially. The diameter of the guide block 28 is consistent with the inner diameter of the gear to be tested, and the end of the guide block 28 gradually decreases in diameter to form a truncated cone. Figure 4 As shown, the guide block on the guide rod can be matched with the inner hole of the gear to be measured to assist in alignment.

[0027] The top body 21 has one end facing the top column 25 and is connected to a coaxial transmission sleeve 27 . The transmission sleeve 27 has one end facing away from the top body 21 and is provided with an internal spline for cooperating with an external spline on the gear to be tested.

[0028] In this embodiment, the end of the top body 21 has threaded holes evenly distributed around the circumference of the top column 25; the transmission sleeve 27 has an annular end plate at one end facing the top body 21, and the annular end plate has bolt holes corresponding to the threaded holes; the transmission sleeve 27 is connected to the threaded holes of the top body 21 by bolts passing through the bolt holes.

[0029] In specific implementation, a spline can also be used to connect the transmission sleeve 27. The specific structure is: the end of the top column 25 close to the top body 21 has a spline shaft protruding outward, and the end of the transmission sleeve 27 facing the top body 21 has a spline hole that cooperates with the spline shaft.
