Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle technology and relates to inspection tools, specifically an oil hole depth inspection tool. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of technology, the development of intelligent new products is becoming increasingly vigorous, and most of these new products involve hydraulic control. To achieve hydraulic control, corresponding oil circuits need to be designed. Many oil circuits replace commonly used oil pipes by machining deep and long oil holes in housing parts. If the depth of the oil holes in the parts is not up to standard, it may directly lead to the product's inability to achieve its functions.
[0003] Intelligent products such as CVT, power shift, and ECVT utilize hydraulic control and point-to-point lubrication for some functions. The oil circuits typically employ a combination of external pipes and internal oil passages (oil holes). Major housing parts of these products require numerous oil holes for control or lubrication. Inaccurate control of the oil passage depth can lead to product malfunction or inadequate lubrication, resulting in serious quality issues. Therefore, accurate measurement of the oil passage depth during manufacturing is crucial. Commonly used calipers and depth gauges are insufficient for accurate and effective measurement. Due to the presence of the drill tip, measuring the oil hole with the tail end of a vernier caliper may introduce significant errors, while depth gauges cannot reach into the oil hole for effective measurement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes an oil hole depth gauge to solve the technical problem that the existing gauges cannot accurately detect the oil hole depth of parts.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An oil hole depth gauge includes a depth measuring bar, which comprises a non-measuring section and a measuring section, with a 0-scale line provided at the boundary between the non-measuring section and the measuring section; it also includes a measuring slider, which has a through-hole, and the measuring slider is slidably fitted onto the depth measuring bar through the through-hole.
[0007] The end face of the measuring slider located at one end of the sliding hole is the workpiece hole end face contact surface, and the end face of the measuring slider located at the other end of the sliding hole is provided with a depth lower limit indicator surface. The distance between the depth lower limit indicator surface and the workpiece hole end face contact surface is equal to the length of the non-measuring section.
[0008] The measuring slider is also provided with a depth upper limit indicator surface on the end face located at the other end of the sliding hole, and the depth upper limit indicator surface is arranged parallel to the depth lower limit indicator surface.
[0009] This utility model also has the following technical features:
[0010] The measuring slider is also provided with a locking screw hole, which is connected to the sliding hole. A locking bolt is installed in the locking screw hole, which can lock the depth measuring bar.
[0011] The height difference between the upper depth indicator surface and the lower depth indicator surface is the allowable depth tolerance value of the oil hole to be tested.
[0012] A process groove is formed radially at a position where the lower depth indicator surface is close to the upper depth indicator surface.
[0013] The outer diameter of the non-metering section is equal to the inner diameter of the oil hole to be measured; the ends of the non-metering section are flush.
[0014] The end of the metering section is equipped with a detachable handle.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0016] (I) The oil hole depth gauge proposed in this utility model has a sliding fit between the measuring slider and the depth measuring bar with a small gap. This ensures that when the contact surface of the workpiece hole end face of the measuring slider is in contact with the workpiece hole end face, the axis of the depth measuring bar is coincident with the axis of the oil hole to be measured, avoiding tilting and improving the accuracy of measurement. The height difference between the upper limit indicator surface and the lower limit indicator surface of the measuring slider is the allowable tolerance value of the depth of the oil hole to be measured, which facilitates accurate reading.
[0017] (II) The oil hole depth gauge proposed in this utility model has a distance between the lower limit indicator surface of the measuring slider and the contact surface of the workpiece hole end face, which is equal to the length of the non-measuring section of the depth measuring bar. The more the measuring slider slides upward, the larger the displayed measurement value.
[0018] (III) The oil hole depth gauge proposed in this utility model has a non-measuring section of the depth measuring bar with the end flush, which ensures that the end face of the depth measuring bar does not enter the cone angle part of the oil hole to be measured, thus reducing measurement error.

The end face of the measuring slider 2 located at the other end of the sliding hole 201 is provided with a depth lower limit indicator surface 203. The distance between the depth lower limit indicator surface 203 and the workpiece hole end face contact surface 202 is equal to the length of the non-measuring section 101.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a depth upper limit indicator surface 204 is also provided on the end face of the measuring slider 2 located at the other end of the sliding hole 201. The depth upper limit indicator surface 204 is arranged parallel to the depth lower limit indicator surface 203.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the measuring slider 2 is also provided with a locking screw hole 205, which is connected to the sliding hole 201. A locking bolt 206 is installed in the locking screw hole 205, which can lock the depth measuring bar 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, the height difference between the upper depth indicator surface 204 and the lower depth indicator surface 203 is the allowable depth tolerance value of the oil hole 3 to be tested.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a process groove 4 is radially formed on the lower depth indicator surface 203, which is close to the upper depth indicator surface 204.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a detachable handle 5 is installed at the end of the metering section 102.
[0040] In this embodiment, the preferred height difference between the upper depth limit indicator surface 204 and the lower depth limit indicator surface 203 is 1 mm.
[0041] In this embodiment, a locking bolt 206 is installed in the locking screw hole 205 to fix the measuring slider 2 on the depth measuring rod 1 for easy reading.
[0042] In this embodiment, the working process of the oil hole depth gauge is specifically divided into the following steps:
[0043] Step 1: Confirm the diameter of the oil hole 3 to be measured and the depth of the oil hole 3 required by the drawing. Select a depth gauge 1 with an outer diameter that is the same as the inner diameter of the oil hole 3 to be measured.
[0044] Step 2: Clean the oil hole 3 to be tested to ensure that there are no foreign objects inside the oil hole 3;

If it is within the range, it means that the oil hole 3 to be tested meets the design requirements. If it is not within the range, it means that the oil hole 3 to be tested does not meet the design requirements. In addition, the scale value of the lower depth limit indicator surface 203 on the depth measuring bar 1 is the true depth value of the oil hole 3 to be tested.
[0048] Step 6: Remove the gauge from the oil hole 3 of workpiece 7 to be tested. The test is now complete.
