However, CMM inspection is time-consuming, inefficient, and cannot be used for batch product inspection. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a simple and fast inspection tool for brake drum roundness. Utility Model Content

[0037] See attached document Figure 1 This application provides a brake drum testing device, including a testing platform 1, a bracket 2, a hanger 3, a dial indicator 7, and a protective head 8. The testing platform 1 is used to clamp and fix the brake drum 9 to be tested. The bracket 2 is disposed on one side of the testing platform 1. The hanger 3 is slidably disposed along the bracket 2 and can rotate around the axis of the brake drum 9 to be tested. The hanger 3 is provided with an adjusting member that can extend and retract bidirectionally along the radial direction of the brake drum 9 to be tested. The dial indicator 7 is disposed at both ends of the adjusting member. The protective head 8 is disposed at one end of the measuring head of the dial indicator 7. The extension and retraction of the adjusting member allows the protective head 8 to contact the inner wall of the brake drum 9 to be tested during testing.
[0038] As can be imagined, during testing, the brake drum is clamped and fixed to the testing table 1, the hanger 3 is adjusted to a suitable position, and the protective heads 8 on both sides are made to abut against the cylindrical surface of the brake drum to be tested by adjusting the hanger 3. The swing deviation of the dial indicator 7 is then read by rotating the hanger 3. This utility model converts roundness into a change in diameter, enabling roundness testing at different positions along the extension direction of the brake drum axis. The structure is simple, easy to operate, improves testing efficiency, and greatly reduces costs. Furthermore, by using the protective heads 8 instead of the measuring head of the dial indicator 7 to contact the brake drum, wear on the measuring head of the dial indicator 7 can be avoided.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the testing platform 1 is a cuboid platform with an inner cavity for placing the brake drum 9 to be tested. Through holes are arranged around the inner cavity, and a stop rod 101, capable of moving radially along the testing platform 1, is installed within each through hole. A stop plate 102 is positioned on the side of the stop rod 101 at the center of the inner cavity. A spring 103 is fitted onto the stop rod 101, abutting against the stop plate 102 and the inner wall of the testing platform 1. During testing, when the brake drum 9 to be tested is placed into the inner cavity, the spring 103 is compressed, causing the stop plate 102 to exert pressure on the brake drum 9, thus clamping it. It is easy to imagine that, since the outer diameter of the brake drum is the same at the same position, when force balance is achieved, the change in the spring 103 is the same, thus automatically clamping the brake drum at the center of the inner cavity and preventing it from shifting. Of course, in order to prevent the brake drum from rotating during the test, a soft pad is attached to the side of the backing plate 102 facing the brake drum. The side of the soft pad that is in contact with the brake drum 9 to be tested is provided with anti-slip texture, which can not only prevent scratches on the outer wall of the brake drum, but also increase the friction between the soft pad and the brake drum.
[0040] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, a tapered positioning boss is provided at the center of the inner cavity of the testing table 1. The tapered positioning boss cooperates with the central bearing hole of the brake drum to achieve the effect of rapid coarse positioning.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hanger 3 includes a crossbeam 301 and a U-shaped frame 302. One end of the crossbeam 301 is provided with a sliding sleeve 303 that cooperates with the bracket 2. The bracket 2 is provided with a number of round-headed pins of springs 103 spaced longitudinally. Correspondingly, a number of round-headed pin holes are provided on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 303. The crossbeam 301 can slide along the bracket 2 through the sliding sleeve 303 to cooperate with different round-headed pins of springs 103, thereby adjusting the height of the hanger 3 and realizing the roundness detection at different positions in the extension direction of the brake drum axis. The other end of the crossbeam 301 is integrally formed with a motor mounting bracket. A rotary motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the motor mounting bracket. The U-shaped frame 302 is fixed to the output end of the rotary motor 4. Mounting holes for mounting adjustment components are provided on both sides of the U-shaped frame 302. Dial gauges 7 are provided at both ends of the adjustment components. Thus, by rotating the U-shaped frame 302 driven by the rotary motor 4, the dial gauges 7 can complete the radial dimension measurement of the brake drum.
[0042] In the above description, the adjusting component includes a threaded sleeve 501 and a telescopic rod 502. The threaded sleeve 501 is centrally located inside the U-shaped frame 302, and the threaded sleeve 501 has symmetrical internal threads in opposite directions around its center. A telescopic rod 502 is threadedly fitted at each end of the threaded sleeve 501, and the telescopic rod 502 extends from the mounting hole to the outside of the U-shaped frame 302 to connect to a dial indicator 7. Wherein, as Figure 3As shown, the mounting hole is a cross hole. The telescopic rod 502 cooperates with the cross hole to form a rotation limit, so that the telescopic rods 502 on both sides can be adjusted to extend or retract by rotating the threaded sleeve 501.
[0043] In one embodiment, to fix the dial indicator 7 to the adjusting member, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a support frame is provided at the end of the telescopic rod 502 away from the threaded sleeve 501. The support frame is provided with a side hole for fixing the dial indicator 7. The dial indicator 7 is locked in the side hole by screws to complete the installation.
[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the protective head 8 includes a fixing sleeve 801 and a roller 802. The fixing sleeve 801 is fitted onto one end of the measuring head of the dial indicator 7, and the fixing sleeve 801 and the dial indicator 7 are fixed together by screws, keeping the fixing sleeve 801 in contact with the measuring head of the dial indicator 7. Thus, it can be imagined that the movement of the fixing sleeve 801 can cause the measuring head to move, thereby completing the measurement. In order to avoid scratching the inner wall of the brake drum 9 under test during the test, a wheel frame is provided at the end of the fixing sleeve 801 away from the dial indicator 7. The roller 802 is rotatably mounted on the wheel frame via a shaft. During the test, the roller 802 is adjusted by an adjusting component to make it fit against the inner wall of the brake drum 9 under test.
[0045] In summary, the brake drum detection device provided in this application is used as follows:
[0046] First, the brake drum 9 to be tested is clamped and fixed on the test bench 1;
[0047] Next, adjust the height of the hanger 3 so that the dial indicator 7 enters the inside of the brake drum 9 to be tested;
[0048] Then, the telescopic rod 502 is adjusted to extend to both sides by adjusting the adjustment component, so that the roller 802 contacts the inner wall of the brake drum 9 to be tested;
[0049] Finally, the U-shaped frame 302 is rotated by the rotary motor 4, and the reading of the dial indicator 7 is observed to determine whether the roundness of the brake drum 9 under test meets the requirements.
[0050] Of course, the roundness of the brake drum 9 under test can be checked at different positions by moving the hanger 3 to different heights.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
