[0004] Based on the above search results combined with existing technologies;
[0005] The aforementioned patent utilizes a detection device for testing, but it is not adjustable and cannot effectively test steering shafts of different sizes. Furthermore, it relies solely on a single concentricity tester, resulting in poor practicality and low testing efficiency, thus presenting certain limitations. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes an automotive steering shaft concentricity testing instrument. This device enables multi-directional testing of the steering shaft, improving testing quality and efficiency.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0028] This utility model provides an improved automotive steering shaft concentricity testing instrument. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automotive steering shaft concentricity tester includes a test platform 1. Two pairs of fixed plates 2 and L-shaped support rods 3 are fixedly mounted on the surface of the test platform 1. A pair of mounting brackets 17 are fixedly mounted in the middle of the test platform 1. A rotating shaft 7 is rotatably mounted between each pair of fixed plates 2. The rotating shaft 7 rotates through the mounting bracket 17. The surface of the test platform 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 18 and a second sliding groove 19. The tester also includes a test assembly. The rotating shaft 7 and L-shaped support rods 3 ensure that the steering shaft can be stably placed on the surface of the test platform 1, thereby facilitating the test assembly to test the steering shaft.
[0030] The detection assembly includes an adjustment slider 21 and a cross slider 12 that are slidably mounted on the surface of the detection table 1. The adjustment slider 21 and the cross slider 12 enable multi-directional adjustment of the detection component, thereby ensuring that the detection assembly can detect steering shafts of different sizes and improving the practicality of the detection device.
[0031] Furthermore, slide rail 10 and slide rail 20 are rotatably installed inside slide groove 18 and slide rail 29 respectively. Adjusting slider 21 and cross slider 12 slide in cooperation with slide rail 20 and slide rail 10 respectively. Adjusting threaded rod 16 is rotatably installed inside cross slider 12. The slide groove 18 and slide rail 29 facilitate the sliding of adjusting slider 21 and cross slider 12. The slide rail 10 and slide rail 20 provide support for the movement of adjusting slider 21 and cross slider 12.
[0032] Furthermore, a universal adjusting rod 23 is fixedly installed on the surface of the adjusting slider 21, and a moving block 26 is threadedly connected to the adjusting threaded rod 16. A universal ball head damping shaft 24 is fixedly installed at one end of both the universal adjusting rod 23 and the moving block 26. A concentricity detector 25 is fixedly installed on one side of each universal ball head damping shaft 24. By using the universal adjusting rod 23 and the adjusting threaded rod 16, different angles of the detection component can be adjusted, thereby ensuring that steering shafts of different specifications can be detected. The universal ball head damping shaft 24 can be used to achieve stable adjustment of the concentricity detector 25. The working principle of the concentricity detector 25 is as follows: when the outer circumference of the steering shaft is pressed against the apex, the measuring object is rotated, and the maximum and minimum reading values of the concentricity detector 25 are measured on a specified circumference. The maximum difference between these values is taken as the concentricity.
[0033] Furthermore, the end of the adjusting slider 21 is connected to a pair of fixing bolts 22 by thread, and the end of the adjusting threaded rod 16 is fixedly installed with a rotating handle 27. A sliding groove adapted to the moving block 26 is opened on one side of the cross slider 12. The fixing bolts 22 can stably fix the adjusting slider 21 on the surface of the testing table 1, thereby preventing the concentricity tester 25 from shaking during testing, resulting in inaccurate test results. The rotating handle 27 facilitates the rotation of the adjusting threaded rod 16 to achieve the vertical adjustment of the moving block 26.
[0034] Furthermore, a pair of electric telescopic rods 15 are fixedly installed on the surface of the testing table 1. The fixed ends of the electric telescopic rods 15 are fixedly inserted through the fixed plate 2. The telescopic ends of the pair of electric telescopic rods 15 are fixedly connected to the cross slider 12. The electric telescopic rods 15 can move the cross slider 12, thereby adjusting according to different steering shaft lengths, thus improving the practicality of the testing device.
[0035] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a pair of rotating wheels 9 are fixedly installed in the middle of each rotating shaft 7, and a slow motor 8 is fixedly installed on one side of one of the fixed plates 2. The output shaft of the slow motor 8 is fixedly connected to the end of one of the rotating shafts 7. The slow motor 8 can drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate stably, and the rotating wheel 9 can drive the steering shaft to rotate stably, thereby facilitating the stable detection of the detection component.
[0036] Furthermore, a pair of adjusting wheels 11 are movably mounted on each rotating shaft 7. A connecting rod 13 is rotatably mounted on one side of each pair of adjusting wheels 11. A damping slider 14 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the connecting rod 13. The damping slider 14 slides in cooperation with the slide rail 10. The adjusting wheels 11 can be adjusted according to different specifications of steering shafts to ensure stable support for the steering shaft.
[0037] Furthermore, an elastic telescopic rod 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the L-shaped support rod 3, and a support plate 5 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 4. Pressure rollers 6 are rotatably installed on both sides of the support plate 5. The pressure rollers 6 can be used to achieve the effect of stable fixed support for the steering shaft. The elastic telescopic rod 4 can be used to fix and support steering shafts of different specifications with the pressure rollers 6, thereby improving the stability of the steering shaft during the testing process.
[0038] The specific working method is as follows: First, pull up the pressure roller 6, then place the steering shaft on the testing table 1, release the pressure roller 6, and under the action of the elastic telescopic rod 4, the steering shaft can be stably pressed. Then, the adjusting wheel 11 is moved to ensure that the steering shaft can be stably installed on the testing table 1. After the steering shaft is installed, the electric telescopic rod 15 is controlled to move the cross slider 12, which facilitates the movement of the concentricity detector 25 located at its end. After moving to the appropriate position, the vertical adjustment is achieved by rotating the handle 27. Then, the concentricity detector 25 is stably attached to the surface of the steering shaft to be tested by using the universal ball joint damping shaft 24. Then, by moving the adjusting slider 21 and the universal adjusting rod 23, the pair of concentricity detectors 25 located at their ends can detect different parts of the steering shaft, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results. After the concentricity detector 25 is adjusted, the slow speed motor 8 is started to drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate stably through the rotating wheel 9, thereby achieving stable, efficient and accurate testing of the steering shaft.
