[0017] The disclosure of this application is illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Wherein:

[0018] Figure 1 The schematic illustration shows a detection fixture proposed according to one embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 As shown, a detection fixture according to a specific embodiment of this application includes a first detection head 1 and a second detection head 2. The first detection head 1 is used to detect a gasket, and the second detection head 2 is used to detect a retaining ring. The first detection head 1 can be configured to determine that a gasket is installed when the first detection head 1 contacts the gasket or the distance between the first detection head 1 and the gasket is less than a threshold. The second detection head 2 can be configured to determine that a retaining ring is installed when the second detection head 2 contacts the retaining ring or the distance between the second detection head 2 and the retaining ring is less than a threshold.

[0021] In the installed state, the retaining ring is positioned above the gasket. Correspondingly, the first probe 1 is constructed to be larger than the second probe 2 in the height direction (i.e., the axial direction of the retaining ring), so that the first probe 1 can smoothly pass over the retaining ring to detect the gasket. A notch exists in the circumferential direction of the retaining ring, allowing the first probe 1 to probe the gasket from top to bottom through this notch. For example, the operator can visually adjust the position of the probe fixture so that the first probe 1 passes through the notch in the retaining ring to detect the gasket. When the first probe 1 is constructed to be telescopic, the operator can first bring the probe fixture close to the retaining ring, and then rotate the probe fixture. When the first probe 1 extends into the notch in the retaining ring, it will emit a sound or vibration to alert the operator, thereby ensuring that the first probe 1 is in the correct detection position.

[0022] In this technical solution, the first probe 1 is used to detect the gasket and the second probe 2 is used to detect the retaining ring, thereby detecting whether the retaining ring and the gasket are installed.

[0023] Furthermore, the detection fixture includes a third probe 3, which is used to detect a positioning surface, and the positioning surface is used to assist in the positioning of the detection fixture. When the detection fixture has completed its positioning, the first probe 1 and the second probe 2 can perform detection more accurately. The third probe 3 can be configured to determine that the detection fixture has completed its positioning when it comes into contact with the positioning surface or the distance between the third probe 3 and the positioning surface is less than a threshold.

[0024] The positioning surface can be located on the component where the retaining ring and washer are mounted, such as the housing of a gearbox, in which the shaft surrounded by the retaining ring and washer is also mounted. For example, the positioning surface is located on the end face of the gearbox housing, which is higher than the mounting position of the retaining ring and washer. A mounting surface corresponding to the end face exists in the detection fixture, and the third probe 3 is located on this mounting surface. An exemplary detection process is as follows: first, positioning is determined by the third probe 3, and then the first probe 1 and the second probe 2 are used to detect whether the retaining ring and washer are installed.

[0025] The detection fixture may include multiple third probes, such as two, three, or four third probes. By using multiple third probes positioned at different locations, it is possible to more accurately detect whether the detection fixture has completed its positioning.

[0026] Furthermore, the detection fixture includes a fourth detection head 4, which is also used to detect the retaining ring. The fourth detection head 4 and the second detection head 2 are arranged in different positions, and the fourth detection head 4 cooperates with the second detection head 2 to determine whether the retaining ring is installed in place.

[0027] For example, the fourth probe 4 is configured to be equal in height to the second probe 2. If the second probe 2 and the fourth probe 4 detect the retaining ring sequentially with a time interval, it indicates that the retaining ring is in different positions axially and is not installed correctly; if the second probe 2 and the fourth probe 4 detect the retaining ring simultaneously, it indicates that the retaining ring is in the same position axially and is installed correctly.

[0028] For example, the fourth probe 4 is configured to be smaller in height than the second probe 2. If both the second probe 2 and the fourth probe 4 detect the retaining ring, it indicates that the retaining ring is in different axial positions and is not properly installed; if the second probe 2 detects the retaining ring but the fourth probe 4 does not, it indicates that the retaining ring is in the same axial position and is properly installed.

[0029] The fourth probe 4 can be arranged closer to the first probe 1 than the second probe 2. When the retaining ring is not properly installed, it is prone to warping near the notch. Since the first probe 1 probes the gasket through the notch in the retaining ring, by arranging the fourth probe 4 close to the first probe 1, the fourth probe 4 is also close to the notch of the retaining ring, i.e., the part where the retaining ring is prone to warping, so that the fourth probe 4 can easily detect when the retaining ring is not properly installed (especially warped).

[0030] One or more of the first detector 1, the second detector 2, the third detector 3, and the fourth detector 4 can be configured as a proximity switch. One or more of the first detector 1, the second detector 2, the third detector 3, and the fourth detector 4 can also be configured as a contact sensor.

[0031] If one or more of the first probe 1, the second probe 2, the third probe 3, and the fourth probe 4 are telescopic, then the preceding comparisons of the individual probes in the height direction are based on their initial state (i.e., the unretracted state).

[0032] Furthermore, the detection fixture may also include a handle 5 for easy gripping by the operator. The handle 5 may have roughened sections to ensure a firm grip by the operator.

[0033] An output interface may be constructed at the end of the handle 5 for outputting the detection results. The signal output terminals of the first probe 1, the second probe 2, the third probe 3, and the fourth probe 4 are connected to the output interface, for example, via signal lines. The output interface outputs the signals from each probe to a controller via wired or wireless means. The controller may be constructed inside or outside the detection fixture. The controller determines whether the gasket and retaining ring are properly installed based on the signals from each probe, and then outputs the determination result in a certain manner. For example, if the gasket and retaining ring are properly installed, the indicator light is controlled to output a green light; if the gasket and retaining ring are not installed or are not properly installed, the indicator light is controlled to output a red light.

[0034] An exemplary process for using the detection fixture according to this embodiment is as follows: First, scan the material code of the retaining ring and the gasket using a barcode scanner; then install the retaining ring and the gasket; then use the detection fixture to detect whether the retaining ring and the gasket are installed and in place; if the retaining ring and the gasket are installed and in place, proceed with the subsequent operation; if the retaining ring and the gasket are not installed or are not in place, check and reinstall them.
