Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing measurement, in particular to an automatic measuring instrument for the inner diameter of a small raceway of an outer ring of a water pump bearing. Background Art
[0002] In modern industrial manufacturing, water pump shaft bearings are key components, and their quality directly impacts the performance and lifespan of the entire machine. Stringent requirements are placed on the dimensional accuracy of the small raceway on the outer ring of water pump bearings. However, in existing production processes, measuring the inner diameter of the small raceway on the outer ring of water pump bearings often relies on manual labor. While this method offers a certain degree of measurement accuracy, since production lines typically operate in a continuous processing mode, sampling inspection is often the only option to ensure overall production efficiency.
[0003] The main drawback of manual measurement is that it is significantly limited by the stability of the machine tool. This means that each measurement requires the operator to adjust the equipment according to the actual situation. This not only increases the operator's workload but also makes it difficult to ensure the consistency and accuracy of each measurement. In addition, since the inspection is based on spot checks rather than full inspection, some products that do not meet the drawing requirements may be passed to the next process, which in turn affects the quality and reliability of the final product.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an instrument that can automatically measure the inner diameter of the bearing ring's minor raceway online and promptly determine whether its dimensions meet the drawing requirements. Such a device can not only significantly reduce the operator's labor intensity and improve the accuracy and efficiency of detection, but also effectively avoid quality problems caused by missed inspections, thereby further improving product competitiveness and the company's economic benefits.

The measuring assembly comprises a tapered pressure block, a small raceway measuring head, an outer race locating sleeve for locating the outer ring of the bearing, and a measuring unit, which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The driving unit is in transmission connection with the tapered pressure block. The driving unit drives the tapered pressure block to move in a vertical direction. The tapered pressure block is movably connected to the outer race locating sleeve. The small raceway measuring head is arranged between the tapered pressure block and the outer race locating sleeve. The downward movement of the tapered pressure block drives the small raceway measuring head to undergo elastic deformation. The measuring end of the measuring unit contacts the small raceway measuring head, and the elastic deformation of the small raceway measuring head is detected to detect the inner diameter size of the small raceway of the outer ring of the bearing.
[0008] The utility model provides an automatic measuring instrument for the inner diameter of the small raceway of the outer ring of a water pump bearing, comprising a driving unit, a taper pressing block, a small raceway measuring head, an outer race positioning sleeve and a measuring unit. The specific working process is as follows: the driving unit drives the taper pressing block, the small raceway measuring head and the outer race positioning sleeve to move downward, so that the outer race positioning sleeve accurately positions the outer ring of the bearing. Then, the driving unit continues to drive the taper pressing block downward to cause the small raceway measuring head to produce elastic deformation. At this time, the measuring unit detects the elastic deformation of the small raceway measuring head to determine the inner diameter size of the small raceway of the outer ring of the bearing. Through this process, the automatic measurement of the inner diameter of the small raceway of the outer ring of the water pump bearing is realized, which can significantly reduce the labor intensity of the operating workers, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the detection, and effectively avoid quality problems caused by missed detection.

When the tapered pressure block applies downward pressure, the first tapered surface moves downward along the second tapered surface and applies an outward opening force to the inner circumference of the second through hole, thereby causing the small raceway measuring head to undergo elastic deformation.

The second sleeve is coaxially fixed to the bottom of the flange. A second through hole is formed inside the small raceway measuring head. The second sleeve coaxially penetrates into the third through hole and is connected to the inner circumferential surface of the third through hole through a connecting unit. The lower end surface of the flange contacts the upper end surface of the outer ring positioning sleeve, and a gap is left between the third through hole and the second sleeve.
[0013] The second sleeve of the small raceway measuring head of the utility model coaxially penetrates the third through hole of the outer ring positioning sleeve, and a certain gap is left between the third through hole and the second sleeve. This design provides the necessary space for the second sleeve to expand outward after being subjected to force, ensuring that the small raceway measuring head can accurately produce elastic deformation during the measurement process, thereby realizing accurate measurement of the inner diameter of the small raceway of the bearing outer ring.

When the second sleeve is expanded outward by an external force, these slits can release stress, effectively preventing the second sleeve from being permanently deformed or broken due to excessive force, thereby ensuring the reliability and repeatability of the small raceway measuring head during use.
[0016] Furthermore, a buffer unit is provided between the upper end surface of the flange and the lower end surface of the tapered pressing block.
[0017] A buffer unit is provided between the upper end surface of the flange and the lower end surface of the tapered pressure block of the utility model.

[0055] (Example 1)
[0056] See Figures 1 to 10 An automatic measuring instrument for the inner diameter of the small raceway of the outer ring of a water pump bearing comprises a drive unit 1, a measuring assembly 2, and a measuring station 4 for vertically fixing the bearing.

The outer ring of the bearing 3 is positioned on the two conveyor belts, and a gap is left between the two conveyor belts for the shaft core of the bearing 3 to pass through. The bearing 3 is placed with its shaft core vertically centered.
[0057] The measuring assembly 2 includes a tapered pressure block 2-1, a small raceway measuring head 2-2, an outer ring positioning sleeve 2-3, a measuring unit 2-4, and a spring 2-5.

[0058] A third through hole 2-3-1 and a fourth through hole 2-3-2 are provided inside the outer ring locating sleeve 2-3 from top to bottom. The third through hole 2-3-1 is coaxially connected to the fourth through hole 2-3-2. The diameter of the third through hole 2-3-1 is smaller than the diameter of the fourth through hole 2-3-2. The fourth through hole 2-3-2 matches the outer ring of the bearing. The outer ring locating sleeve can be coaxially sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing through the fourth through hole 2-3-2 to position and fix the outer ring of the bearing. A locating pin 2-3-3 is fixedly installed on the outer ring locating sleeve 2-3, and the locating pin 2-3-3 extends radially toward the inside of the locating sleeve.
[0059] A second through hole is provided inside the small raceway measuring head 2-2, and the small raceway measuring head 2-2 includes a flange 2-2-1 and a second sleeve 2-2-2. The interiors of the flange 2-2-1 and the second sleeve 2-2-2 are both hollow, and the second sleeve 2-2-2 is coaxially fixed to the bottom of the flange 2-2-1. A second through hole is formed inside the small raceway measuring head 2-2, and a second conical surface 2-2-3 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the second through hole. The second sleeve 2-2-2 is provided with a plurality of gaps parallel to the central axis of the second sleeve along the circumferential direction, and an opening is provided at the end of the gap away from the flange; a first pin hole 2-1-3 and a second pin hole 2-2-4 are respectively provided in the tapered pressure block and the small raceway measuring head.
[0060] The tapered pressure block 2-1 includes a pressure block part 2-1-1 connected to the cylinder transmission and a first sleeve 2-1-2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure block part 2-1-1. The bottom of the first sleeve 2-1-2 is provided with an annular convex part 2-1-2-1, and the outer peripheral surface of the annular convex part is the first conical surface 2-1-2-1-1.
[0061] Among them, the first sleeve 2-1-2 with the tapered pressure block 2-1 coaxially extends downward into the second through hole of the small raceway measuring head 2-2, and the first tapered surface 2-1-2-1-1 can fit the second tapered surface 2-2-3; the second sleeve 2-2-2 of the small raceway measuring head 2-2 coaxially penetrates into the third through hole 2-3-1 of the outer ring locating sleeve 2-3, until the lower end surface of the flange 2-2-1 of the small raceway measuring head 2-2 contacts the upper end surface of the outer ring locating sleeve, and a gap is left between the third through hole and the second sleeve. Then the locating pin 2-3-3 of the outer ring locating sleeve 2-3 passes through the second pin hole 2-2-4 and is slidably connected to the first pin hole 2-1-3, and the locating pin 2-3-3 slides up and down along the first pin hole 2-1-3, so that the tapered pressure block and the outer ring locating sleeve are movably connected together, and at the same time, the small raceway measuring head is positioned and fixed between the tapered pressure block and the outer ring locating sleeve.
[0062] The measuring unit 2-4 and the spring 2-5 are arranged between the upper end surface of the flange 2-2-1 and the lower end surface of the tapered pressure block 2-1. A guide rod is provided in the spring to prevent the spring from radially deforming when subjected to force, ensuring that the spring maintains stable axial movement during compression. The guide rod is movably arranged between the upper end surface of the flange 2-2-1 and the lower end surface of the tapered pressure block 2-1. The measuring end of the measuring unit 2-4 contacts the small raceway measuring head 2-2, and detects the elastic deformation of the small raceway measuring head 2-2 to detect the inner diameter size of the small raceway of the bearing outer ring. The measuring unit 2-4 is electrically connected to an external host computer and sends the measurement data to the host computer.
[0063] For ease of understanding, combined with the above embodiments, the specific working process of the automatic measuring instrument for the inner diameter of the small raceway of the outer ring of the water pump bearing is as follows:
[0064] The bearing is conveyed to the measuring station 4 via the conveyor belt. At this time, the spring is in a relaxed state and the sensor is in its original position, which is zero position. Then the driving unit drives the tapered pressure block to move downward, together with the outer ring locating sleeve and the small raceway measuring head. The outer ring locating sleeve is set on the outer ring of the bearing. Since the bearing is against the bottom of the outer ring locating sleeve, the outer ring locating sleeve no longer moves downward, and the small raceway measuring head stops moving. The tapered pressure block continues to press down, and the annular convex part of the tapered pressure block moves downward against the second cone surface. The first sleeve squeezes the second The measuring head of the small raceway of the sleeve undergoes elastic deformation, causing the second sleeve to be forced to open outward, and the outer edge of the corresponding flange to open upward in the vertical direction. During this period, the spring contraction sensor data changes. When the outer peripheral surface of the bottom of the second sleeve contacts the small raceway of the outer ring, the tapered pressure block can no longer move downward, and the outer edge of the flange no longer continues to open upward in the vertical direction. A certain distance is formed between the lower end face of the flange and the upper end face of the outer ring locating sleeve. At this time, the sensor data stops changing, and the measured data ① is the distance from the measuring head to the small raceway of the outer ring.
[0065] After the measurement is completed, the driving unit drives the tapered pressure block to move upward, and the annular convex part of the tapered pressure block moves upward against the second conical surface. The external force applied to the second sleeve is slowly removed, and the second sleeve returns to its original position from the open state. The second conical surface continues to move upward, and the outer ring locating sleeve and the small raceway measuring head move upward together. At this time, the spring returns to the relaxed state, and the sensor also returns to its original position, which is zero position, waiting for the next measurement.
[0066] At the same time, a limit sample M with a lower difference in the outer ring small raceway size and a limit sample N with an upper difference in the size are made. According to the above method, the degree of sensor change of the two limit samples is measured respectively, and they are data I and data II.
[0067] If: data I < data ① < data II, then the outer ring small raceway size of the bearing is determined to be qualified; if data ① < data I, then the outer ring small raceway size of the bearing is determined to be too small; if data ① > data II, then the outer ring small raceway size of the bearing is determined to be too large.
[0068] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
