TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to gearbox accessory detection technical field, concretely is a kind of detection equipment for the sealing property of gearbox idler shaft. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gearbox idler shaft refers to an important component in the gearbox of a vehicle for transmitting power and achieving different gear ratio combinations. The idler shaft is usually composed of a series of gears that can be connected to different gear ratios through synchronizers or other mechanical devices, thereby achieving the gear shifting function of the gearbox.

[0003] To detect the sealing property of the gearbox idler shaft, a special pressure testing equipment is usually required to test the sealing property of the gearbox. By increasing the internal pressure and observing whether there is gas or liquid leakage to judge the sealing performance, the gearbox is partially immersed in water, and whether bubbles come out is observed to help determine whether the sealing is perfect. However, during the actual detection operation, the position memory placement state of the gearbox idler shaft needs to be adjusted constantly, and due to the different accuracy of manual operation, the subsequent detection structure will also be affected.

[0004] Therefore, a detection equipment for the sealing property of the gearbox idler shaft is proposed. SUMMARY

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0022] Please see Figs. 1 to 4 This invention provides an embodiment of a device for testing the sealing performance of a gearbox idler shaft, comprising a base 1 with a rectangular hole 2 in the center. A stepper motor 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 1, and a pair of transmission gears 4 are fixedly connected to the drive end of the stepper motor 3. The two transmission gears 4 are rotatably connected to the upper sides of the outer walls of the base 1, and transmission gear plates 5 are slidably connected to both sides of the outer wall of the base 1. The two transmission gear plates 5 are respectively meshed with the two transmission gears 4. A hollow frame 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the moving gear plate 5. Ball rods 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the hollow frame 6 away from the transmission gear plate 5. Hemispherical groove columns 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the stand 1 away from the transmission gear 4. The outer walls of the ball rods 14 on both sides are slidably connected to the inner walls of the hemispherical groove columns 13 on both sides. A dual-axis electric telescopic rod 7 is fixedly connected inside the hollow frame 6. T-shaped plates 8 are fixedly connected to both drive ends of the dual-axis electric telescopic rod 7. The outer walls of the T-shaped plates 8 on both sides are slidably connected to the inner walls of the hollow frame 6.

[0023] Among them: the width of the hemispherical groove column 13 matches that of the cue stick 14;

[0024] Better: The stand 1 is installed next to the water tank of the idler shaft of the gearbox to be tested. By starting the stepper motor 3, the stepper motor 3 drives the transmission gears 4 on both sides to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission gear plates 5 on both sides to move vertically, driving the hollow frame 6 to move up and down on the inner wall of the rectangular hole 2, adjusting the height of the idler shafts to be tested on both sides. As the hollow frame 6 moves, the ball rods 14 on both sides can also move synchronously. With the cooperation of the hemispherical groove columns 13 on both sides, the vertical adjustment of the hollow frame 6 can be made more stable. At the same time, the drive ends of the dual-axis electric telescopic rod 7 on both sides drive the T-shaped plates 8 on both sides to move inside the hollow frame 6, adjusting the idler shafts held on both sides in the horizontal direction.

[0025] Both sides of the T-shaped plates 8 are rotatably connected to semi-circular blocks 9. Both sides of the semi-circular blocks 9 are slidably connected to a pair of pins 10. Both sides of the pins 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of abutment pads 11. Both sides of the pins 10 are fitted with compensating springs 12. One end of the compensating spring 12 is fixedly connected to the semi-circular blocks 9, and the other end of the compensating spring 12 is fixedly connected to the abutment pads 11. Both sides of the rectangular hole 2 are fixedly connected to uprights 15. The inner wall of the hollow frame 6 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the uprights 15. Both sides of the uprights 15 are fitted with buffer springs 16. One end of the buffer spring 16 is fixedly connected to the hollow frame 6, and the other end of the buffer spring 16 is fixedly connected to the base 1.

[0026] Among them, the material of the abutment pad 11 is soft rubber;

[0027] Even better: Rotating the upper semicircular blocks 9 on both sides allows the idler shaft to be placed inside the lower semicircular blocks 9 on both sides. When rotating and resetting the semicircular blocks 9 on both sides, the idler shafts, being of different sizes, can deform by pressing the compensating springs 12 through the abutting pads 11 connected to them, causing the pins 10 on both sides to slide, ensuring that the idler shafts can be firmly fixed. As the hollow frame 6 drives the idler shafts on both sides to move vertically, they can be guided along the outer wall of the uprights 15 on both sides, and with the cooperation of the buffer springs 16 on both sides, the neutrality is dispersed, making it more stable.

[0028] The working principle of the above implementation is as follows:

[0029] The operation steps are as follows:

[0030] First, the stand 1 is installed next to the water tank of the idler shaft of the gearbox to be tested. The stepper motor 3 is started, driving the transmission gears 4 on both sides to rotate. This causes the meshing transmission gear plates 5 on both sides to move vertically, moving the hollow frame 6 up and down within the rectangular hole 2 to adjust the height of the idler shafts being tested. As the hollow frame 6 moves, the ball rods 14 on both sides also move synchronously. With the cooperation of the hemispherical groove columns 13 on both sides, the vertical adjustment of the hollow frame 6 becomes more stable. Simultaneously, the drive ends of the dual-axis electric telescopic rod 7 move the T-shaped plates 8 on both sides inside the hollow frame 6, adjusting the idler shafts held on both sides horizontally. The upper semicircular blocks 9 on both sides are rotated to place the idler shafts inside the lower semicircular blocks 9 on both sides. Rotating the semicircular blocks 9 back to their original positions adjusts the idler shafts. Different sizes allow the connecting pads 11 to compress and deform the compensating springs 12, causing the pins 10 on both sides to slide, ensuring the idler shaft is firmly fixed. As the hollow frame 6 drives the idler shafts on both sides to move vertically, they can be guided along the outer wall of the uprights 15 on both sides. With the cooperation of the buffer springs 16 on both sides, the neutrality is dispersed, making it more stable. The idler shaft can move flexibly in the test tank. As the idler shaft moves, it is observed whether air bubbles are generated in the tank to determine whether the idler shaft is well sealed, making the sealing test more convenient. The position of the idler shaft can be flexibly adjusted as needed for better testing and maintenance. The convenient position adjustment mechanism can help to quickly find problems and repair them, thereby reducing maintenance costs and minimizing downtime losses caused by long maintenance cycles.
