Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transmission parts testing technology, and in particular to an automated slip force testing system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of automotive technology, there is a growing demand for high-precision and high-efficiency testing of components within automotive transmissions. This technology requires that automotive components meet stringent performance standards during production to ensure the safety, reliability, and comfort of the entire vehicle. Among these, the smoothness of the sliding motion of transmission components is a key performance indicator, directly impacting the transmission's shifting efficiency and driving experience.

[0003] In related technologies, the smoothness of sliding of components within a gearbox is primarily tested manually. Operators manually slide the components in a simulated environment, relying on experience and intuition to determine if the components slide smoothly. While this method is simple and direct, it is highly susceptible to human factors in large-scale, high-intensity production environments, such as fatigue and distraction, leading to frequent missed detections and severely impacting the accuracy and stability of product quality control.

[0004] However, the aforementioned manual sliding inspection method has significant problems. On the one hand, manual inspection is highly subjective, and the judgment standards of different operators may differ, leading to inconsistencies in the inspection results. On the other hand, manual inspection is inefficient and cannot meet the demands of modern production lines for efficient and automated inspection. In addition, long-term manual operation may adversely affect the health of operators, increasing labor costs and safety risks for enterprises.

[0005] Therefore, given the problems existing in the current technology, it is urgent to develop an automated slip force detection system. Utility Model Content

It uses a positioning mechanism to clamp the components for stability testing, and pressure sensors in the first and second ejection mechanisms to accurately record the maximum force during the sliding process.

[0041] Feeding mechanism 1 is used to receive the internal components of the gearbox to be tested and introduce them into the conveying mechanism 2;

[0042] Conveying mechanism 2 is used to transport the internal components of the gearbox under test along a set path;

[0043] The material distribution mechanism 3 and the first material blocking mechanism 4 are arranged sequentially along the length of the conveying mechanism 2, and are used to release the internal components of the gearbox to be tested one by one.

[0044] The second stop mechanism 5 is used to stop the internal components of the gearbox to be tested at the detection position;

[0045] The second ejection mechanism 7 is located below the transmission mechanism 2 and is used to lift the internal components of the gearbox under test upward to detach them from the transmission mechanism 2. The ejection end of the second ejection mechanism 7 includes a pressure sensor to collect the force value during the lifting detection process.

[0046] Positioning mechanism 11 is used to clamp the outer ring of the internal component of the gearbox under test to achieve positioning of the internal component of the gearbox at the test position;

[0047] The first ejection mechanism 6 is located above the transmission mechanism 2 and is used to press down on the inner ring of the internal component of the gearbox under test. The pressing end of the first ejection mechanism 6 includes a pressure sensor to collect the force value during the pressing detection process.

[0048] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 is configured as a plate structure that is inclined toward the feeding end of the conveying mechanism 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, a drive mechanism 10 is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism 2, and the power of the conveying mechanism 2 is provided through the drive mechanism 10.

[0050] In this embodiment, there are also NG product conveyor 8 and OK product conveyor 9, which are used to convey products that fail the inspection and products that pass the inspection, respectively. The automated sliding force detection system classifies the products to the corresponding conveyor based on the detection results of the pressure sensors in the first ejection mechanism 6 and the second ejection mechanism 7.

[0051] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 11 is configured with multiple fixed grippers, which are positioned directly opposite the detection position.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixed gripper is driven by pneumatic or electric means.

[0053] In this embodiment, an NG discharge mechanism (not shown in the figure) is also included. The NG discharge mechanism is configured as a discharge cylinder, which is located on one side of the conveying mechanism 2 and faces the NG product conveying channel 8, and is used to actively discharge unqualified products.

[0054] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 is a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor;

[0055] Furthermore, anti-slip textures are added to the surface of the conveying mechanism 2 to enhance the friction between the conveying mechanism 2 and the product.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first ejection mechanism 6 includes a vertically downward first servo module, and the output end of the first servo module is connected to the vertically downward pressing head through a first pressure sensor; the second ejection mechanism 7 includes a vertically upward second servo module, and the output end of the second servo module is connected to the vertically upward lifting head through a second pressure sensor.

[0057] In practical work, the working method of this utility model is as follows:

[0058] The internal components of the gearbox to be tested enter the conveying mechanism 2 from the feeding mechanism 1;

[0059] The conveying mechanism 2 transports the internal components of the gearbox to be tested to the material distribution mechanism 3;

[0060] A material distribution mechanism 3 and a first material blocking mechanism 4 are sequentially arranged along the length of the conveying mechanism 2. The internal components of the gearbox to be tested are released one by one through the material distribution mechanism 3 and the first material blocking mechanism 4.

[0061] The internal components of the gearbox to be tested enter the testing position and are stopped at 5th gear by the second gearing mechanism;

[0062] The second ejection mechanism 7, located below the transmission mechanism 2, lifts the internal component of the gearbox to be tested upward and away from the surface of the transmission mechanism 2. Then, the positioning mechanism 11 clamps the outer ring of the internal component of the gearbox to be tested to achieve positioning and clamping.

[0063] The inner ring of the gearbox internal component to be tested is pushed upward by the second ejection mechanism 7. At this time, the pressure sensor in the second ejection mechanism 7 detects the maximum force during the upward process and records and judges it. After the recording is completed, the second ejection mechanism 7 moves downward away from the gearbox internal component.

[0064] The inner ring of the internal component of the gearbox to be tested is pushed out downward by the first ejection mechanism 6. At this time, the pressure sensor in the first ejection mechanism 6 detects and records the maximum pressure during the downward process. After the recording is completed, the first ejection mechanism 6 moves upward away from the gearbox.

[0065] Release the grippers of the positioning mechanism 11, and the inspected gearbox internal components fall to the top of the second ejection mechanism 7. Then the second ejection mechanism 7 descends further, so that the inspected gearbox internal components fall onto the transmission mechanism 2.

[0066] The second guide mechanism 5 is reset, so that the gearbox internal components that have completed the inspection are conveyed to the next stage along with the conveyor mechanism 2;

[0067] Products that fail the pressure sensor test enter NG product conveyor 8, while products that pass the pressure sensor test enter OK product conveyor 9.

[0068] The results of this invention are reasonable. The positioning mechanism 11 clamps the product, ensuring stable testing. At the same time, the pressure sensors in the first ejection mechanism 6 and the second ejection mechanism 7 accurately record the maximum force value during the ejection and sliding process, avoiding the subjectivity and inconsistency of manual testing and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0069] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0070] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
