Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to measuring device technical field especially relates to a differential mechanism cover plate measuring frock. BACKGROUND

[0002] The differential mechanism is an important component in the automobile transmission system, and the rotational speed difference is realized through the planetary gear set, wherein the center gear is used for receiving the power from the transmission shaft, the planetary gear rotates around the center gear, and is engaged with the half shaft gears on both sides, and the half shaft gears are directly connected with the left and right wheels, when the vehicle travels in a straight line, the resistance of the wheels on both sides is the same, the planetary gear only revolves with the shell, and the rotational speed of the left and right half shafts is consistent, when the vehicle turns, the resistance of the inner wheels increases, the resistance of the outer wheels decreases, the planetary gear revolves and rotates at the same time, more power is transmitted to the outer wheels, the rotational speed difference is realized, and thus the vehicle travels stably and efficiently.

[0003] The differential mechanism cover plate is one of the important components of the differential mechanism, and its main function is to seal and protect the internal structure (such as bearings, gear sets, etc.) of the differential mechanism, and at the same time, it bears the installation support function of the bearing chamber. The differential mechanism cover plate provides a stable installation surface for the tapered roller bearing through the high-precision machined bearing chamber, ensures the reliability of the bearing axial positioning and load transmission, and at the same time, the close fit of the sealing surface and the shell can effectively prevent the leakage of lubricating oil and the invasion of external pollutants. The differential mechanism cover plate is usually made of cast iron (wear-resistant) or aluminum alloy (lightweight), and the flatness and bolt hole precision directly affect the differential mechanism assembly quality, sealing performance and transmission stability, therefore, it is necessary to quickly and accurately measure the distance from the bearing chamber end face to the installation surface of the differential mechanism cover plate, so as to ensure that the size, shape and position degree of the geometric parameters meet the design requirements.

[0004] At present, the measurement of the differential mechanism cover plate usually includes mechanical measurement method, three-coordinate measurement method and optical measurement method. Among them, the mechanical measurement method needs to fix the differential mechanism cover plate on the detection platform first, and then use the height gauge or depth micrometer to measure the distance from the installation surface reference point to the bearing chamber end face vertically, which needs to change the position of the height gauge or depth micrometer many times, and adjust after each change of position, so as to measure each position of the differential mechanism cover plate, which takes a long time. Although the three-coordinate measurement method and the optical measurement method have high automation degree, the price of the measurement equipment is expensive, which greatly increases the measurement cost and reduces the economic benefit of enterprises.
