Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of helical swing cylinder technology, and in particular to a helical tooth backlash testing device. Background Technology

[0002] A helical oscillating cylinder is a special type of hydraulic cylinder that uses a helical pair with a large helix angle to achieve rotary motion. Through the engagement of the helical threads, the linear motion of the piston is converted into the oscillating motion of the output shaft. Its significant feature is its extremely high efficiency. The longer the linear motion of the piston, the greater the rotary motion. This cylinder is a tightly assembled component that uses hydraulics to generate very high torque in a very small space.

[0003] Based on existing technology, in the production process of helical swing cylinders, it is necessary to measure the tooth clearance of the helical teeth on the piston of the helical swing cylinder. Usually, a feeler gauge is used to measure the helical tooth clearance. However, due to the small size of some pistons, it is not convenient for the feeler gauge to be inserted into the piston and measure the helical tooth clearance inside the piston, resulting in low practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a helical tooth backlash testing device, which solves the problem in the prior art that due to the small size of some pistons, it is not easy to insert a feeler gauge into the piston to measure the helical tooth backlash inside the piston, resulting in low practicality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A helical tooth backlash testing device includes a base and a mounting mechanism. The mounting mechanism includes a top plate, and a clamping assembly is provided below the top plate. The clamping assembly includes two bidirectional screws respectively connected to the outer wall of the top of the base via bearings, and two clamping blocks respectively screwed to the outer walls at both ends of the two bidirectional screws. A limiting mechanism is provided on the top of the base. The limiting mechanism includes a baffle bolted to the outer wall of the top of the base, a support block bolted to the outer wall of the top of the base, and two slide rails respectively bolted to the outer wall of the top of the support block. An adjustment assembly is provided on the support block. The adjustment assembly includes a fixing block and two... The components include a slider bolted to the bottom outer wall of the fixed block, a servo motor bolted to one side outer wall of the fixed block, a rotating shaft connected to one end of the servo motor output shaft via a coupling, and a mounting ring connected to the outer wall of one end of the rotating shaft via a pin. The mounting ring is equipped with a measuring component, which includes a turntable with two arc-shaped channels on each of its two outer walls, four extension rods slidably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting ring, four adjusting rods fixed to the outer walls of the four extension rods, an arc-shaped connecting block, a mounting block bolted to the outer wall of the connecting block, and a measuring block bolted to the outer wall of the mounting block.

[0007] Preferably, two support plates are bolted to the top outer wall of the base, and the top plate is bolted to the top outer wall of the two support plates respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the upper parts of the two bidirectional screws are respectively connected to the top outer wall of the top plate through bearings, and the upper outer walls of the two bidirectional screws are each connected to a synchronous pulley by a pin. The two synchronous pulleys are connected to each other by a synchronous belt. Four limiting rods are fixed on the top outer wall of the base, and the top ends of the four limiting rods are respectively fixed on the bottom outer wall of the top plate. The two clamping blocks are respectively slidably installed on the outer walls of the four limiting rods.

[0009] The above method involves rotating one of the bidirectional screws, which, via a timing belt, causes the other bidirectional screw to rotate synchronously. This causes the two clamping blocks to move closer together, and then the two clamping blocks clamp the piston of the helical swing cylinder to be measured.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the support block is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the baffle, and one end of each of the two slide rails abuts against the outer wall of one side of the baffle.

[0011] Preferably, the two sliders are slidably mounted on the outer walls of the two slide rails, and one end of the rotating shaft passes through and is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the baffle.

[0012] Preferably, the two turntables are rotatably mounted inside the mounting ring, and the two turntables are fastened to the mounting ring by bolts. The four adjusting rods are slidably mounted in the four channels, and the four extension rods are bolted to the outer walls on both sides of the connecting block.

[0013] The above method involves selecting a standard measuring block and mounting block corresponding to the piston's specifications. Then, the fixed block is moved so that the measuring block engages with the helical teeth on the piston's inner wall. A servo motor is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating shaft, mounting ring, mounting block, and measuring block to rotate. Simultaneously, the measuring block moves along the helical teeth on the piston's inner wall. During this movement, existing equipment is used to detect the measuring block's movement path, generating a curve showing the corresponding movement and rotation. This curve is then compared with the curve of a standard helical swing cylinder of the corresponding specifications. The connecting block is removed, and one of the turntables is rotated, causing the extension rod to move. By replacing the connecting block, mounting block, and measuring block, pistons of different specifications can be measured.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] Select a standard measuring block and mounting block corresponding to the piston specifications. Then, move the fixed block so that the measuring block engages with the helical teeth on the piston's inner wall. Start the servo motor, and the servo motor output shaft drives the rotating shaft, mounting ring, mounting block, and measuring block to rotate. At the same time, the measuring block moves along the helical teeth on the piston's inner wall. During the movement, use existing equipment to detect the movement path of the measuring block and obtain the corresponding curve of the measuring block's movement and rotation. Compare this curve with the curve of the standard helical swing cylinder of the corresponding specifications. Remove the connecting block, rotate one of the turntables, and the turntable moves the extension rod. By replacing the connecting block, mounting block, and measuring block, pistons of different specifications can be measured. This method can conveniently measure the helical teeth inside smaller pistons and can measure pistons of different specifications, improving practicality. Attached Figure Description
