[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an auxiliary tooling for testing the transmission accuracy of a bore-type reducer includes a tensioning sleeve 1, a tensioning screw 2, and an adapter shaft. The tensioning sleeve 1 is inserted into the top circle of the inner spline at the input or output end of the reducer 11 to be tested. The tensioning screw 2 is screwed into the tensioning sleeve 1 to cause radial expansion, thereby eliminating the gap between the tensioning sleeve 1 and the input or output end. The adapter shaft connects the tensioning sleeve 1 to external testing equipment.
[0029] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the tensioning sleeve 1 is an integrated structure consisting of a rear cylindrical connecting sleeve 101 and a front expandable expansion sleeve 102. The expansion sleeve 102 has four axial elastic grooves 103 evenly distributed along its circumference on its wall. The grooves 103 are parallel to the axis of the tensioning sleeve 1. A stepped through hole is provided at the axial center of the tensioning sleeve 1. From back to front, the through holes are: a mounting hole 104, a screw hole 105, a transition hole 106, and an expansion hole 107. The mounting hole 104 has the largest inlet diameter and is used to guide the insertion of the tensioning screw 2. The screw hole 105 has a smaller diameter than the mounting hole 104 and has an internal thread that matches the tensioning screw 2. The transition hole 106 has a diameter equal to the diameter of the thread tip circle of the screw hole 105, serving as a stable positioning guide. The expansion hole 107 has a smaller diameter than the transition hole 106 and connects to the transition hole 106 through a tapered transition surface.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the tensioning screw 2 includes a nut 201, a screw 202, a positioning section 203, and an expansion end 204. The screw 202 has an external thread that matches the screw hole 105. The positioning section 203 is a smooth rod that has a clearance fit with the transition hole 106. The expansion end 204 has a conical head. The taper of the expansion end 204 matches the taper of the conical transition surface of the tensioning sleeve 1.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, during assembly, the tensioning sleeve 1 is inserted into the top circle of the inner spline at the input or output end of the reducer 11. At this time, the expansion hole 107 of the tensioning sleeve 1 maintains its original diameter. The tensioning screw 2 is screwed into the tensioning sleeve 1 through the mounting hole 104. The threaded rod of the tensioning screw 2 engages with the threaded hole 105 to provide axial thrust. The positioning section 203 enters the transition hole 106 to ensure that the axis of the tensioning screw 2 is aligned with that of the tensioning sleeve 1, avoiding misalignment. The front end of the tapered head of the expansion end 204 contacts the tapered transition surface and begins to enter the inlet of the expansion hole 107. As the tensioning screw 2 continues to be screwed in, the tapered head of the expansion end 204 penetrates deeper into the expansion hole 107 along the tapered transition surface. The inner wall of the expansion hole 107 is squeezed by the tapered head, forcing the expansion sleeve 102 with the elastic groove 103 to expand outward uniformly, increasing the width of the elastic groove 103. The axial clamping force of the tensioning screw 2 on the tensioning sleeve 1 is converted into radial clamping force through the conical surface fit, ultimately achieving high-strength fixation between the tensioning sleeve 1 and the input or output end of the reducer 11.
[0032] It should be noted that the expansion sleeve 102, which is rigidly fixed to the top circle of the internal spline at the input or output end of the reducer 11, has a smooth outer wall. For manufacturing considerations, a smooth surface is chosen for the tensioning sleeve 1, as it is simple to process, low in cost, and the friction between it and the inner wall of the workpiece after tensioning is sufficient to meet the transmission accuracy requirements during testing. If a further increase in friction is required, knurling or a wear-resistant coating can be applied to the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 102.
[0033] The connecting sleeve 101 of the tensioning sleeve 1, through its connection with the adapter shaft, enables the coaxial connection between the reducer 11 and the external detection device. One end of the adapter shaft is a sleeve structure, and the other end is a coaxial rod-like structure. The adapter shaft comes in two forms: an integral structure and a split structure. Both have the following specific structures:
[0034] Example 1
[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the adapter shaft adopts an integrated structure, consisting of an adapter sleeve 3 and a shaft 4 coaxially connected. The adapter sleeve 3 corresponds to a sleeve structure, and the shaft 4 corresponds to a rod-like structure. The adapter sleeve 3 is located at the end of the shaft 4, with their axes coinciding. A central blind hole 5 is provided at the end of the adapter sleeve 3. The inner diameter of the central blind hole 5 matches the outer diameter of the connecting sleeve 101 of the tensioning sleeve 1, forming a clearance fit. A through threaded hole is radially provided on the wall of the adapter sleeve 3. After the adapter sleeve 3 and the connecting sleeve 101 of the tensioning sleeve 1 are fitted together, a set screw 8 is screwed into the threaded hole to mechanically lock the adapter sleeve 3 and the tensioning sleeve 1 together. The other end of the shaft 4 is the power transmission input end, connected to external testing equipment via a coupling 10 to achieve torque transmission.
[0036] It should be noted that at least two threaded holes are provided on the same circumference on the wall of the adapter sleeve 3, and the spacing between them is equal. To increase the mechanical locking capability, threaded holes are provided on two circumferences of the wall of the adapter sleeve 3.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the adapter shaft adopts a split structure, including a connecting sleeve 6 and a connecting shaft 7. The connecting sleeve 6 corresponds to the cylindrical component, and the connecting shaft 7 corresponds to the rod-shaped component. The upper end of the connecting sleeve 6 is fitted with the connecting sleeve 101 of the tensioning sleeve 1, forming a clearance fit. The lower end of the connecting sleeve 6 is fitted with the upper end of the connecting shaft 7. A through threaded hole is radially formed on the cylindrical wall of the connecting sleeve 6. The position of the threaded hole corresponds to the insertion position of the connecting sleeve 101 and the connecting shaft 7. By screwing a set screw 8 into the threaded hole, the adapter sleeve 3 is mechanically locked to both the connecting sleeve 101 and the connecting shaft 7. The lower end of the connecting shaft 7 is the power transmission input end, which is connected to external testing equipment via a coupling 10 to achieve torque transmission.
[0039] By designing the adapter shaft as a separate structure, this invention can be flexibly selected under different installation conditions.
[0040] Two locking planes parallel to the axis are machined on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 101. The two locking planes are parallel to each other, which can provide a stable contact surface for the end of the set screw 8 and enhance the reliability of locking.
[0041] To further ensure the stability of the connection between the tensioning sleeve 1 and the reducer 11, and to prevent swaying during testing from affecting the test results, a flange 9 is added to the outside of the adapter shaft sleeve structure. The flange 9 is fixed to the reducer 11 by locking screws, and the adapter shaft sleeve structure is inserted into the inner hole of the flange 9, forming a loose fit. That is, if the adapter shaft is a one-piece structure, the adapter sleeve 3 is inserted into the inner hole of the flange 9. If the adapter shaft is a separate structure, the connecting sleeve 6 is inserted into the inner hole of the flange 9.
