DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] It should be noted that all components in the utility model, such as no special instructions, all adopt the components known in the prior art.For example, the differential adopts the commonly used differential.
[0032] The specific embodiments of the utility model are given below, and it should be noted that the utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments, and any equivalent transformation based on the technical solutions of the application falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 8 A differential half axle gear pad selecting device, characterized in that, comprising differential positioning plate 1 and positioning assembly, differential positioning plate 1 is fixedly installed with differential 2;
[0034] The positioning assembly comprises a mandrel 3, an expansion sleeve 4 and a positioning sleeve 5.
[0035] The upper part of the expansion sleeve 4 penetrates into the inside of the positioning sleeve 5 from top to bottom, and the expansion sleeve 4 and the positioning sleeve 5 are in interference fit.The inner wall of the upper part of the expansion sleeve 4 is provided with internal threads, and the outer wall of the middle part of the mandrel 3 is provided with corresponding external threads.The mandrel 3 is screw-connected into the expansion sleeve 4 from top to bottom.The upper part of the mandrel 3 extends out of the top end of the positioning sleeve 5, and the bottom end of the mandrel 3 is flush with the bottom end of the expansion sleeve 4.
[0036] The lower part of the expansion sleeve 4 penetrates into the inside of the differential 2, and the lower wall of the positioning sleeve 5 and the upper wall of the differential 2 are provided with a magnetic partition plate 7.
[0037] The lower part of the mandrel 3 is wedge-shaped, and the inner shape of the lower part of the expansion sleeve 4 matches the shape of the lower part of the mandrel 3; the expansion sleeve 4 can be in close contact with the half shaft gear of the differential 2 after expansion;
[0038] The upper part of the mandrel 3 is connected with a dismounting hammer 6.
[0039] As shown in the drawings, in the prior art, the sizes of the shell A part and the half shaft gear B part need to be measured before the differential 2 is assembled, the size C from the shell end face to the upper surface of the half shaft gear is measured after the differential 2 is assembled, and finally the thickness X of the adjusting pad is calculated to meet the condition of 0.2mm≤B+C-A+X≤0.3mm. Figure 2 This way also results in that the half shaft gear backlash is not directly measured, but is calculated by B+C-A, and the measurement errors of each size are accumulated to be relatively large; when the size C is measured, due to the gaps of each part after assembly, it is impossible to guarantee the accuracy of the measurement value by 100%; the measurement steps are many, and the calculation is complex, which leads to that this process becomes the bottleneck process in the assembly process.
[0040] The differential half shaft gear pad selecting device of the present application connects with the half shaft gear through the expansion sleeve 4, and drives the half shaft gear to move within the backlash range. The movement amount of the expansion sleeve 4 is measured by using a depth gauge, and the accurate backlash value can be directly obtained, so as to finally realize the purpose of improving the accuracy and stability of the pad selecting operation.
[0041] The operation of measuring the related sizes of the parts before assembly is eliminated, the half shaft gear backlash value is changed from indirect calculation to direct measurement, the accuracy and stability of the operation are improved; the thickness of the required adjusting pad can be quickly calculated by using the directly measured backlash value, the operation rhythm is improved, and the operation failure caused by complex calculation is avoided; in addition, the device structure is simple, easy to disassemble and assemble, and the manufacturing cost is low, which is beneficial to popularization.

[0043] As a preferred scheme, the corresponding positions of the expansion sleeve 4 and the positioning sleeve 5 are provided with through positioning holes 9; the expansion sleeve 4 and the positioning sleeve 5 can be fixedly connected through the positioning holes 9 of themselves by using a matching positioning pin.
[0044] This setting can enhance the connection strength of the expansion sleeve 4 and the positioning sleeve 5.

[0048] As a preferred solution, the top of the dismounting hammer 6 is provided with a dismounting handle 601.
[0049] The device is used as follows: first, the differential 2 is fixed on the differential positioning plate 1; then, the magnetic partition 7, the mandrel 3, the expansion sleeve 4 and the positioning sleeve 5 are sequentially sleeved on the differential 2; the pressing plate 8 is installed, and the mandrel 3 and the dismounting hammer 6 are connected.
[0050] Secondly, the mandrel 3 is counterclockwise rotated by using a wrench to make it rise, and the expansion sleeve 4 is uniformly expanded through the wedge shape at the bottom of the mandrel 3, so as to be connected with the half shaft gear of the differential 2.
[0051] After the expansion sleeve 4 is successfully connected with the half shaft gear, the pressing plate 8 and the magnetic partition 7 are removed;
[0052] The positioning sleeve 5 is pressed downward to the bottom end, and after the gap between the half shaft gear and the surrounding parts is eliminated, the distance D1 (as shown in Figure 1 ) between the upper surface of the positioning sleeve 5 and the upper end surface of the differential housing is measured by using a depth gauge through the positioning hole 301 on the positioning sleeve 5;
[0053] The positioning sleeve 5 is lifted to the highest end, and the distance D2 (as shown in Figure 1 ) between the upper surface of the positioning sleeve 5 and the upper end surface of the differential housing is measured again by using a depth gauge through the positioning hole 301 on the positioning sleeve 5;
[0054] The half shaft gear side clearance E is calculated by D1-D2, and the thickness X of the required adjusting pad is finally calculated according to 0.2mm≤E+X≤0.3mm.
[0055] After the pad is selected, the mandrel 3 is clockwise rotated by using a wrench, so that the expansion sleeve 4 is contracted, and then the pad selecting device can be removed.
