Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection tools, specifically to a comprehensive inspection tool for the end face dimensions of a differential housing. Background Technology
[0002] A car differential is a mechanism that allows the left and right drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It mainly consists of left and right half-shaft gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. Its function is to ensure that the left and right wheels rotate at different speeds when the car is turning or driving on uneven surfaces, thus guaranteeing pure rolling motion for both drive wheels. The differential is designed to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels. In four-wheel drive, all four wheels must be connected to drive them. If the four wheels are mechanically connected, the car will not rotate at the same speed when driving on curves. To ensure that the rotational speed is relatively consistent when the car is driving on curves, a center differential is needed to adjust the speed difference between the front and rear wheels. The differential housing is an arc-shaped housing structure used to support and protect the differential. Due to the precision required for differential operation, the assembly accuracy of the differential housing needs to be checked during its manufacturing process.
[0003] Currently, most inspectors use coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and other inspection equipment to check the assembly accuracy of differential housings. However, such inspection equipment is expensive and has low accuracy, making it unsuitable for large-scale differential housing inspections. This significantly reduces inspection efficiency and prevents efficient, rapid, and easy comprehensive inspection of differential housings. It also fails to make the process more user-friendly and convenient for operators, thus failing to adequately guarantee the machining quality requirements of differential housings.
