Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tapered bearing clearance detection technology, and in particular to a tapered bearing and gear combination clearance detection device. Background Technology

[0002] During the assembly of a helicopter mid-tail gearbox, the clearance of the tapered bearing and gear combination needs to be measured. The traditional method for clearance testing involves fixing the tapered bearing and gear combination into a clearance testing fixture, positioning the dial indicator at the center of the shaft, manually pressing to eliminate clearance in the upper small-end bearing, adjusting the dial indicator to zero, and manually tightening the lower fixture nut to a certain lifting force. The dial indicator reading is then recorded as the measured clearance value. To achieve the specified axial clearance, multiple measurements and adjustments are required using measuring tools. If a negative clearance is specified, the bearing shim thickness must be reduced from the positive clearance setting to achieve a negative clearance. The manual clearance measurement method has the following three main shortcomings: 1) During manual measurement, differences in the operating habits, strength, and methods of different operators can easily lead to problems such as the measuring instrument not being perpendicular to the shaft center and inaccurate readings, resulting in certain errors in the measurement results; 2) Because it is a manual tightening method for loading, the axial load is not accurate; 3) Because it is a manual measurement, it is impossible to read the bearing clearance value in real time, nor can it read the maximum and minimum values; 4) The entire clearance adjustment process has a low degree of automation, long production preparation time, and low efficiency.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN 105223020 B discloses a tapered bearing testing device. This testing mechanism includes: a clamping device for pressing the tapered bearing; a positioning and lifting device for lifting the tapered bearing, the positioning and lifting device having a preload torque detection device for rotating the tapered bearing under test, and the preload torque detection device having a torque sensor for detecting the preload torque when the tapered bearing rotates; and a displacement detection device for detecting the axial displacement change between the inner and outer rings of the tapered bearing. In the above technical solution, the clamping device provides axial force to the tapered bearing under test, and the displacement detection device detects the axial displacement change between the inner and outer rings of the tapered bearing. The torque sensor detects the preload torque when the tapered bearing rotates, thereby accurately detecting the axial displacement change of the tapered bearing and whether the preload torque value meets the set requirements, improving the dynamic quality testing effect of the tapered bearing. The technical solution in this document only measures the axial displacement change between the inner and outer rings of the tapered bearing under a certain torque, which is used to predict the preload torque of the locking nut at the upper end of the tapered bearing when selecting the tapered bearing for assembly with gears, thus predicting the required axial clearance value of the bearing. The clearance value measured by this method is negative clearance and cannot measure positive clearance. Furthermore, this method cannot measure the actual axial clearance of bevel gear and bearing assembly. It is only suitable for measuring a single part of a pair of bevel bearings. The clearance value is only indirectly guaranteed by the preload torque. It is not suitable for detecting the actual clearance value of bevel bearings, gear shafts, lock nuts, and external casing assemblies. Utility Model Content

[0039] like Figures 1 to 16As shown, the tapered bearing and gear combination clearance detection device of this embodiment includes a frame 1, an upper slide mechanism 2, a positioning mechanism 4, and a lower detection mechanism 6. The positioning mechanism 4 is placed on the working platform 11 of the frame 1. The upper slide mechanism 2 and the lower detection mechanism 6 are located above and below the working platform 11 of the frame 1, respectively. The upper slide mechanism 2 includes an upper driving member 21, an upper sliding shaft 22, an upper rotating member 24, and an upper fixed frame 27. The upper fixed frame 27 is connected to the frame 1. The first output end 211 of the upper driving member 21 is located above the upper sliding shaft 22 and is used to drive the upper sliding shaft 22 to move up and down. The upper sliding shaft 22 is connected to the upper fixed frame 27 through a cylindrical roller bearing. The upper rotating member 24 is connected to... Located at the lower end of the upper sliding shaft 22 and rotatable relative to it, the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 includes a gear shaft 31, a housing 32, a lower tapered bearing 33, an upper tapered bearing 34, a flange 35, and a locking nut 36. The gear shaft 31 is located inside the housing 32. The upper outer wall of the gear shaft 31 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 32 via the upper tapered bearing 34, and the lower outer wall of the gear shaft 31 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 32 via the lower tapered bearing 33. The gear of the gear shaft 31 is located at the lower end. A flange 35 is fitted onto the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the gear shaft. The flange 35 is tapered with its opening facing upwards. The flange 35 is fixed to the gear shaft by the locking nut 36 fitted onto the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the gear shaft (e.g., ...). Figure 15 , Figure 16(As shown). The upper rotating part 24 is pressed onto the upper part of the gear shaft 31 in the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3; when the upper slide mechanism 2 moves downward, the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 is fixed on the lower detection mechanism 6, the housing 32 in the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 is in a stationary state, the housing 32 is positioned by the positioning mechanism 4, and the lower detection mechanism 6 plays a fixing role. The lower detection mechanism 6 includes a lower drive component 69, a lifter 68, a displacement sensor 65, a lifting frame 64, a lower mounting component 63, a lower sliding shaft 62, and a lower rotating component 61. The second output end 691 of the lower drive component 69 drives the lifter 68. The lower rotating component 61 is mounted on the lower mounting component 63. The upper and lower parts of the lifting frame 64 are connected to the lower sliding shaft 62 and the lifter 68, respectively. The displacement sensor 65 is located inside the lifting frame 64 and connected to the lower mounting component 63. The lower rotating component 61 is connected to the upper part of the lower sliding shaft 62 and is rotatable relative to the lower sliding shaft 62. The lower part of the gear shaft 31 in the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 is pressed onto the lower rotating component 61. The lifter 68 is fixed on the frame 1, and the output shaft of the lifter 68 drives the lifting frame 64 to move up and down. After the upper sliding mechanism 2 applies an axial force, the lower detection mechanism 6 applies an upward axial force. This axial force acts on the gear of the gear shaft 31 in the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3. The housing 32 remains stationary, while the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 moves upward. The movement value is the measured positive clearance. This invention automatically applies a load to the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 by applying axial force through the upper drive component 21 and the lower drive component 69, and directly measures the clearance through the displacement sensor 65, collecting data to achieve automatic measurement of the bearing clearance value. This measurement method has high measurement accuracy (up to 0.002mm), high repeatability, and high efficiency. This invention measures the clearance of the tapered bearing and gear assembly by applying a certain axial force from above and below, satisfying the measurement of positive axial clearance in the combined state of the tapered bearing, gear shaft, locking nut, and external housing.

[0040] The positioning mechanism 4 is used to position and clamp the housing 32 in the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 of the mid-tail reducer, facilitating automatic docking and measurement between various testing devices and the reducer. The upper drive component 21 and the lower drive component 69 are responsible for applying axial load to the shaft system to meet the product process requirements.

[0041] The upper slide mechanism 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the frame 1, which allows for the reserved stroke for installing the part to be measured. It can meet the clearance detection of different axial height tapered bearings and gear combinations of input gear assemblies or output gear assemblies of different models of products, so that the equipment has a flexible change function.

[0042] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with a slide rail in the vertical direction, and the upper fixed frame 27 is provided with a slider. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. The upper fixed frame 27 is driven to move up and down along the slide rail by a driving component (not shown in the figure). In this way, the upper sliding platform mechanism 2 is lifted and lowered as a whole. In order to make the movement of the upper sliding platform mechanism 2 more stable during lifting and lowering, a guide rod is provided below the top of the frame 1, and a guide hole is opened on the upper fixed frame 27 for the guide rod to pass through, thus realizing the guiding function.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper fixed frame 27 includes three parallel horizontal platforms 271 and vertical support plates 272 located adjacent to each other between the horizontal platforms 271. The upper drive member 21 is connected to the uppermost horizontal platform 271 and the first output end 211 of the upper drive member 21 passes through the uppermost horizontal platform 271. The upper and lower parts of the upper sliding shaft 22 are respectively connected to the other two horizontal platforms 271 through oilless bearings.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first output end 211 of the upper drive unit 21 is connected to a servo cylinder connector, and the servo cylinder connector and the upper sliding shaft 22 are spaced apart.

[0045] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the device further includes an upper mounting member 23, which is connected to the bottom of the upper sliding shaft 22. The upper rotating member 24 includes an upper rotating sleeve 241, an upper flange 242, and an upper tapered sleeve 243 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The upper rotating sleeve 241 is rotatably connected to the upper mounting member 23. The upper tapered sleeve 243 presses against the upper part of the gear shaft 31 in the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 for accurate centering. The upper flange 242 is responsible for pressing the flange 35 in the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 from above. Figure 4 The flange 35 is shown in the diagram. It transmits the applied axial load and allows the tapered bearing balls to fit tightly against the inner tapered surface of the outer ring of the bearing, thereby eliminating the bearing's own clearance.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, a cylindrical pin is provided on the outer circumference of the upper mounting part 23. The upper and lower ends of the cylindrical pin are located on the lowest horizontal platform 271 and inside the upper mounting part 23, respectively. When the upper rotating part 24 rotates, the cylindrical pin prevents the upper mounting part 23 from rotating.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper sliding shaft 22 includes a sliding shaft body 222 and a shaft cover 221 located on the upper part of the sliding shaft body 222. The upper mounting member 23 is connected to the lower part of the sliding shaft body 222.

[0048] The upper mounting part 23 is connected to the sliding shaft body 222.

[0049] like Figure 9 As shown, the lower mounting component 63 includes a lower support column 631, a fixed plate 632, and a lower fixing sleeve 633. The lower support column 631 and the lower fixing sleeve 633 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the fixed plate 632. The fixed plate 632 has a through hole in the inner circle of the lower fixing sleeve 633. The lower sliding shaft 62 is connected to the lower fixing sleeve 633 through a cylindrical roller bearing. An anti-rotation column 66 is provided between the lifting frame 64 and the lower fixing sleeve 633 to prevent the lifting frame 64 from rotating. The tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 enters the detection device by a tray-type push-in and sinks after entering the position. After the measurement is completed, the cylinders 9 on both sides of the positioning mechanism 4 push up, moving the tray to a horizontal position to facilitate manual removal of the tray and parts. The tray pushing in and taking out can be achieved by conventional technical means, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] The middle part of the lower mounting component 63 is the movable part, and the lower fixed sleeve 633 is the supporting component. During operation, the lower fixed sleeve 633 and the end face of the casing 323 remain stationary, while the central components such as the lifting frame 64 and the pressure ring 615 move upward with the motor. The lower side plate 71 is responsible for pressing the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 from below, ensuring that the inner ring balls of the bearing are in close contact with the inner tapered surface of the outer ring of the bearing. The lower side plate 71 directly supports the lower end of the gear.

[0051] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the lower detection mechanism 6 also includes a sensor mounting bracket 67, on which the displacement sensor 65 is mounted. The sensor mounting bracket 67 is connected to the lower part of the lower fixing sleeve 633.

[0052] like Figure 13 As shown, the lower rotating component 61 includes a lower cone 611, a countersunk cylinder 612, a lower sleeve 613, a spring 614, and a pressure ring 615. The lower cone 611 is located inside the countersunk cylinder 612. The pressure ring 615 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the lower cone 611 and connected to the top of the countersunk cylinder 612. The spring 614 is located in a blind hole at the lower part of the lower cone 611. The countersunk cylinder 612 is connected to the lower sleeve 613 through a cylindrical roller bearing. The lower sleeve 613 is connected to the upper part of the lower sliding shaft 62. The lower rotating component 61 is used to rotate the flange 3525.

[0053] The lower detection mechanism 6 also includes a coupling (not shown in the figure), and the lower drive component 69 drives the lift 68 through the coupling.

[0054] The device also includes a motor mounting bracket (not shown in the figure), which is mounted on the housing of the lifter 68, and the lower drive unit 69 is connected to the lifter 68 through the motor mounting bracket.

[0055] like Figure 4As shown, the device also includes an upper tooling mechanism 5 and a lower tooling mechanism 7. The upper tooling mechanism 5 and the lower tooling mechanism 7 are respectively provided with an upper center 52 and a lower center 72, which are respectively installed on the upper rotating part 24 and the lower rotating part 61. The upper tooling mechanism 5 and the lower tooling mechanism 7 are also respectively provided with an upper side plate 51 and a lower side plate 71. When the upper flange 242 or the fixed plate 632 cannot press the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 tightly, the upper side plate 51 is placed between the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 and the upper flange 242, and the lower side plate 71 is placed between the fixed plate 632 and the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3 to facilitate pressing the tapered bearing and gear assembly 3.
