Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear inspection technology, specifically a defect detection device for gear processing. Background Technology
[0002] Gears are a common part in machining. There are many ways to manufacture gears, such as casting, forging, cutting, and powder metallurgy. In order to prevent defects such as tooth surface cracks, tooth surface pitting, and tooth profile errors from occurring after gear production, the manufactured gears need to be inspected. The defect detection of gears is directly related to the quality and performance of the gears, as well as the reliability of the entire mechanical transmission system.
[0003] Currently, most equipment for detecting defects in gears uses ultrasonic testing, which utilizes the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves within gears to detect internal defects. When ultrasonic waves encounter a defect, they produce phenomena such as reflection and refraction. By analyzing the characteristics of the reflected waves, the location and size of the defect can be determined.
[0004] However, in practice, it has been noted that ultrasonic testing requires manual holding of the ultrasonic testing head to scan the outside of the gear. Since manual testing requires checking each gear individually, the efficiency of gear testing is low, and there are areas that are missed during manual testing. Therefore, the accuracy of the test is greatly affected, and the test results are also affected, resulting in a decrease in accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a defect detection device for gear processing. This device comprises a planetary gear system formed by the meshing of a central gear, planetary gears, and internal tooth grooves. Combined with a central disk and a workpiece placement disk, the device rotates while the gears move, preventing missed detections and improving detection efficiency and effectiveness. This addresses the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A defect detection device for gear processing includes a movable turntable, on which auxiliary turntables are movably connected in a circular array, and an ultrasonic flaw detector is provided on one side above the movable turntable, with an ultrasonic display fixedly connected to the side of the ultrasonic flaw detector.
[0008] The movable turntable includes a central disc, and the bottom of the central disc is integrally provided with a central gear that is connected to the auxiliary turntable for transmission.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0041] Please see Figure 1-15This utility model provides a defect detection device for gear processing, including a movable turntable 2, an auxiliary turntable 3 movably connected in a circular array on the movable turntable 2, an ultrasonic flaw detector 4 is provided on one side above the movable turntable 2, and an ultrasonic display 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the ultrasonic flaw detector 4.
[0042] The movable turntable 2 includes a central disk 21. The bottom of the central disk 21 is integrally provided with a central gear 25 that is connected to the auxiliary turntable 3 for transmission. The central disk 21 is provided with mounting grooves 22 in a ring array corresponding to the auxiliary turntable 3. Each mounting groove 22 is provided with a through hole 23 at its bottom.

[0045] In this embodiment, the planetary gears 33 are arranged in a ring array on the side of the central gear 25, and the planetary gears 33 and the central gear 25 mesh with each other.
[0046] The outer side of the planetary gear 33 is also connected to an outer limiting ring 8. The inner side of the outer limiting ring 8 is provided with an inner circular tooth groove 81 in a ring array, and the planetary gear 33 meshes with the inner circular tooth groove 81 in the outer limiting ring 8.
[0047] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic flaw detector 4 includes an arc-shaped outer shell 41 located above one side of the central disk 21, and ultrasonic probes 44 are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped outer shell 41 in a ring array.

[0051] In this embodiment, an L-shaped bent plate 75 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding plate 74, and an arc-shaped guide plate 76 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped bent plate 75 away from the sliding plate 74.

[0053] By adopting the above technical solution, the geared motor 11 drives the central disk 21 to rotate through the drive shaft 24, thereby driving the workpiece placement disk 31 on the central disk 21 to rotate. Through the meshing between the central gear 25 and the planetary gear 33, and the mutual meshing between the planetary gear 33 and the inner circular tooth groove 81, the workpiece placement disk 31 rotates on its own inside the mounting groove 22 while following the revolution of the central disk 21.

[0054] In this embodiment, the outer side of the movable turntable 2 is movably connected to a support base 1.

[0057] In this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the limiting slide groove 72 is T-shaped, and the extension column 77 penetrates the inner side of the limiting slide groove 72 and is slidably connected with the limiting slide groove 72.

The L-shaped bending plate 75 drives the arc-shaped guide plate 76 to move, and the arc-shaped guide plate 76 moves the gear to the inside of the discharge hopper 6 to realize automatic discharge.
[0059] In this embodiment, the bottom of the mounting column 43 is fixedly connected to the support base 1 by bolts, and the ultrasonic probe 44 and the ultrasonic display 5 are electrically connected by wires. The ultrasonic probe 44 detects the gear and transmits the feedback signal to the ultrasonic display 5. The signal processor inside the ultrasonic display 5 processes the feedback signal and finally displays the gear detection result on the screen of the ultrasonic display 5.
[0060] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the gears are first placed one by one onto the workpiece placement tray 31. The reduction motor 11 drives the central disk 21 to rotate via the drive shaft 24, thereby causing the workpiece placement tray 31 on the central disk 21 to rotate. This allows the gears on the workpiece placement tray 31 to pass over the bottom of the ultrasonic probe 44. Through the meshing between the central gear 25 and the planetary gear 33, and the meshing between the planetary gear 33 and the inner tooth groove 81, the workpiece placement tray 31 rotates within the mounting groove 22 while following the revolution of the central disk 21. This, in turn, causes the gears on the workpiece placement tray 31 to rotate. As the gears pass through the bottom of the ultrasonic probe 44 one by one, they drive the gears to rotate, improving the detection effect. The ultrasonic probe 44 transmits the detection effect to the ultrasonic display 5. When the detected gear moves to the side of the discharge hopper 6, the track disk 9 will rotate with the rotation of the drive shaft 24. The sliding column 78 slides inside the limit slide rail 91, driving the sliding plate 74 to slide in the limit slide groove 72 inside the support seat 71. Then, through the L-shaped bending plate 75, the arc guide plate 76 moves closer to the discharge hopper 6, moving the gear on the workpiece placement disk 31 into the discharge hopper 6, realizing automatic discharge of the gear.
