[0002] In AT (automatic transmission) and CVT (continuously variable transmission), power is transmitted to the clutch hub input shaft via splines, and then to the friction plates via the splines of the clutch hub. The friction plates then transmit the power to the transmission gear system, thereby achieving speed and torque changes.

[0003] The input shaft and the spline of the clutch hub assembly are mainly connected by welding. To ensure the reliability and durability of the power transmission process, the welding strength of the parts is a very important product indicator, and the weld penetration is one of the key factors to ensure the welding strength.

[0048] Example 2: This example provides a welding defect detection device structure for hub-type parts, which can realize real-time detection of the weld penetration of hub-type parts, and can conveniently and quickly adjust the detection position of the probe according to the penetration requirements of different hub-type parts.

[0049] The part positioning module mainly consists of a transfer plate. One end of the transfer plate is assembled with the hub assembly input shaft, and the center positioning and end face positioning are respectively achieved through the center hole and end face of the input shaft. The other end of the transfer plate is assembled with a rotary positioning plate to realize that the motor drives the part to rotate at a constant speed.

[0050] The part positioning module is mainly used to achieve precise positioning of the part and to ensure that the weld seam passes through the detection area evenly during the detection process.

[0051] Furthermore, the detection and positioning module mainly consists of an upper and lower linear module, a left and right linear module, and a precision rotating platform.

The probe sensitivity can reach a Φ0.5mm flat bottom hole. Considering the weld structure characteristics of the clutch hub assembly, the ultrasonic detection adopts a 19° oblique probe method, in which the ultrasonic wave enters the part medium through a reflector plate.

[0054] The detection module is mainly used for signal transmission and reception.

[0056] Furthermore, the adapter plate of the part positioning module is connected to a servo motor, and the servo motor drives the part to rotate so that the probe can detect and collect the penetration depth data of the entire weld.

[0057] Furthermore, the detection and analysis module is pre-installed with WeldTest welding analysis software. The main parameters are ultrasonic control and gate control. The ultrasonic control includes the gain, delay, and length of the ultrasonic signal. The gate control includes the length, width, and threshold settings of the interface gate and the defect gate. The interface gate is mainly used to set the parameters of the reflected wave (interface wave) at the interface of different media, and the defect gate is mainly used to set the parameters of the reflected wave (defect wave) at the internal defects of the part.

[0058] By processing the reflected waveform of the defective sample, the judgment parameters of the part to be inspected can be determined, and then the penetration depth of the normal welded parts can be inspected.
