Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear ring detection technology, specifically a detection device for stamped gear rings. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a core component for ensuring driving safety, and its performance directly affects the vehicle's braking stability. The ABS gear ring, as a key sensing element of the ABS system, outputs wheel speed signals by accurately sensing changes in the number of teeth on the gear ring. The accuracy of its tooth count directly determines the accuracy of wheel speed measurement, which in turn affects the response sensitivity and reliability of the ABS system. Therefore, tooth count detection is a crucial step in ensuring product quality during the manufacturing process of the ABS gear ring.
[0003] Currently, the traditional method of detecting the number of teeth on ABS gear rings mainly relies on manual loading and unloading. In this method, operators need to manually place the gear rings at the testing station, complete the test, and then manually remove them, repeating this process over and over. This process not only consumes a lot of manpower but also has extremely low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of modern automotive parts mass production. In addition, manual operation inevitably carries the risk of fatigue and misoperation, resulting in a lack of continuity in the testing process and making it easy to miss or misdetect, which seriously affects the stability of product quality.

[0008] Furthermore, the longitudinal moving part includes a lead screw device mounted on the operating table, and a sliding plate slidably connected to and fixed to the moving end of the lead screw device, with the rotating end mounted at the center of the sliding plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the rotating end includes a rotating column rotatably connected to the slide plate, and a drive motor installed at the bottom to drive the rotating column to rotate. A cross plate is fixed at the top of the rotating column, and the lifting end is installed on the cross plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting end includes an upper lifting cylinder mounted on the cross plate and two sets of guide rods passing through it, and the cross plate is fixed to the piston rod of the upper lifting cylinder and the guide rods.
[0012] Furthermore, the dual-push unit includes a short-push cylinder mounted on the platform and a support plate slidably connected to and fixed to the piston rod of the short-push cylinder. An ejection cylinder is mounted on the support plate and two sets of guide pillars are provided through it. The piston rod of the ejection cylinder and the guide pillars are both fixed to the connecting plate.
[0013] Furthermore, a clamping cylinder is also installed on the connecting plate, and a measuring plate is installed on the clamping end of each clamping cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the transfer plate is equipped with a side-push cylinder and a side-push block that is slidably connected and fixed to the piston rod of the side-push cylinder. A slot is opened on one side of the side-push block, and multiple protrusions that are adapted to the slot are fixed on the outside of the rotating shaft.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 The detection device for a stamped gear ring in this embodiment includes an operating table 1, a transfer component 2 installed on the operating table 1, a positioning auxiliary component 3 that can be connected to the transfer component 2, and a detection component 4 that is opposite to the positioning auxiliary component 3.
[0028] In the above structure, the transfer component can clamp and transfer the gear ring to dock with the positioning auxiliary component. The positioning auxiliary component positions the gear ring and aligns it with the detection component. Then, the rotation of the positioning auxiliary component and the pushing of the detection component complete the detection of the number of teeth on the gear ring. After the detection is completed, the transfer component can also complete the unloading process of the gear ring. Therefore, automated detection can be achieved, thereby improving detection efficiency and quality.
[0029] like Figure 2 The transfer assembly 2 includes a platform 21 fixed on the operating table 1. A transfer plate 22 is slidably connected to the top of the platform 21, and a first belt drive device 23 for driving the transfer plate 22 to move is installed on the inner side. A rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the transfer plate 22, and a second belt drive device 29 for driving the rotating shaft 24 to rotate is installed at the bottom. A rotating frame 213 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 24. A push cylinder 25 is installed on the inner side of the rotating frame 213, and a push plate 26 fixed to the piston rod of the push cylinder 25 is slidably connected to the left side. A clamping cylinder 27 is installed on the left side of the push plate 26, and a clamping plate 28 is fixed to the clamping end of the clamping cylinder 27.
[0030] The first belt drive device drives the transfer plate to slide on the top of the platform. Compared with traditional manual handling, it can realize the rapid lateral movement of the gear ring between the loading / unloading station and the positioning auxiliary component, shortening the idle travel time. From the gripping of the gear ring, the transfer to the positioning, and the unloading and return, all are completed automatically by the mechanical structure without manual contact, avoiding fatigue and time waste of manual operation. It is especially suitable for continuous inspection scenarios in large-scale production. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping plate to clamp the gear ring. At the same time, the pushing cylinder pushes the pushing plate to realize the lifting and lowering action, placing the gear ring on the positioning auxiliary component. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the second belt drive device, which can drive the clamping plate to adjust to dock with the loading / unloading station and the positioning auxiliary component.
[0031] Four sets of protrusions 212 are fixed to the outer side of the rotating shaft 24. A side pusher block 211, which is opposite to one of the protrusions 212, slides on the transfer plate 22. The side pusher block 211 has a groove that matches the protrusion 212. A side pusher cylinder 210 is also installed on the transfer plate 22 to push the side pusher block 211. The four sets of protrusions are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft. When the side pusher cylinder pushes the side pusher block, the cooperation between the groove and the protrusion can precisely control the rotating shaft to rotate 90° each time, thereby accurately aligning the loading and unloading and positioning auxiliary components.
[0032] like Figure 3 The positioning auxiliary component 3 includes a slide plate 31 slidably connected to the operating table 1, and a lead screw device 311 for driving the slide plate 31 to move. A rotating column 31 is rotatably connected to the center of the slide plate 31, and a drive motor 33 for driving the rotating column 31 to rotate is installed at the bottom. A cross plate 34 is fixed at the top of the rotating column 31. An upper-lifting cylinder 36 is installed at the top of the cross plate 34 and two sets of guide rods 37 are inserted through it. A top plate 38 is fixed between the piston rod of the upper-lifting cylinder 36 and the top of the guide rod 37. A dual-axis cylinder 39 is installed at the top of the top plate 38. Positioning plates 310 are fixed at both ends of the dual-axis cylinder 39.
[0033] The screw mechanism drives the slide plate to slide longitudinally along the operating table. Using ball screw transmission, it ensures the longitudinal position of the gear ring is aligned with the detection and transfer components. The drive motor rotates the rotating column, aligning the positioning plate longitudinally with the inner side of the gear ring. Through the cooperation of the upper and lower cylinders, the gear ring is placed between the two positioning plates. Simultaneously, when the gear ring is aligned with the detection component, its relative position can be adjusted as needed to avoid deviations due to thickness differences. Dual-axis cylinders drive the positioning plates on both sides to move synchronously, clamping the gear ring. Simultaneously, the drive motor rotates the gear ring, working with the detection component to detect the number of teeth on the gear ring.
[0034] The cross plate 34 has four positioning holes, and the slide plate 31 is equipped with a positioning cylinder 35. The piston rod of the positioning cylinder 35 is fixed and can extend into any of the positioning holes. When placing the gear ring through the top plate and unloading, the positioning plate needs to be rotated to the designated position to dock with the transfer component. Therefore, when it is rotated to the designated position, it can position the cross plate and avoid displacement that would affect loading and unloading.
[0035] like Figure 4 The detection component 4 includes a vertical plate 41 fixed on the operating table 1. A platform 42 is fixed on the surface of the vertical plate 41. A support plate 44 is slidably connected to the platform 42, and a short-push cylinder 43 is installed to drive the support plate 44 to move short distances. An ejection cylinder 45 and two sets of guide posts 46 are installed on the support plate 44. A connecting plate 47 is fixed between the piston rod of the ejection cylinder 45 and the guide posts 46. A probe 48 is installed on the connecting plate 47. The probe 48, also known in this technical field as a probe, stylus, or measuring rod, is a sensing element that detects the object being measured through physical contact. When the gear ring is adjusted to a suitable position relative to the detection component, the ejection cylinder drives the connecting plate to eject. The guide posts improve the stability of the push, allowing the probe to extend into the tooth groove of the gear ring. Then, the short-push cylinder drives the support plate to push back and forth a short distance, which can drive the probe to move back and forth. With the help of the positioning auxiliary component, the gear ring is rotated to complete the detection of the number of teeth on the gear ring.
[0036] The connecting plate 47 is also equipped with a clamping cylinder 49, and a measuring plate 410 is installed at the clamping end of the clamping cylinder 49. A displacement sensor is installed in the measuring plate. The clamping cylinder can drive the measuring plate to open a certain distance to adapt to the current gear ring. When the probe pushes out and makes contact, the gear ring will also be located between the two measuring plates. Thus, the thickness of the gear ring can be detected by the displacement sensor between the measuring plates. Therefore, two sets of detections can be completed on one device.
[0037] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0038] The first belt drive in the transfer assembly drives the transfer plate on the vertical platform to slide laterally, quickly transferring the gear ring from the loading / unloading station to the positioning auxiliary assembly. A clamping cylinder drives a clamping plate to clamp the gear ring, and a pushing cylinder pushes a pushing plate to lift and lower the gear ring, placing it onto the positioning auxiliary assembly. Simultaneously, the second belt drive drives a rotating shaft to rotate, adjusting the position of the clamping plate. A pushing cylinder pushes a pushing block, using the cooperation of a protrusion and a slot to precisely control the rotating shaft to rotate 90° each time, ensuring accurate alignment of the gear ring with the loading / unloading and positioning auxiliary assemblies. The lead screw device of the positioning auxiliary assembly drives a sliding plate to slide longitudinally, aligning the gear ring with the transfer assembly. A drive motor drives a rotating column to rotate, aligning the positioning plate with the inner side of the gear ring. The positioning cylinder inserts a piston rod into the positioning position of the cross plate. Positioning holes are used to position the cross plate and prevent displacement. The upper lifting cylinder cooperates with the pushing cylinder of the transfer component to place the gear ring between the two positioning plates. The dual-axis cylinder drives the positioning plates on both sides to move synchronously to clamp the gear ring. In addition, the drive motor drives the gear ring to rotate, which works with the detection component to complete the detection. When the gear ring is opposite to the detection component, the ejection cylinder of the detection component drives the connecting plate to eject, and the probe extends into the tooth groove of the gear ring. The short push cylinder drives the carrier plate to push back and forth a short distance, so that the probe moves back and forth. In conjunction with the positioning auxiliary component, the gear ring is driven to rotate to complete the tooth count detection. At the same time, the clamping cylinder drives the measuring plate to open the adapter gear ring. When the probe contacts the gear ring, the gear ring is located between the two measuring plates. The displacement sensor in the measuring plate completes the detection of the gear ring thickness, realizing the completion of two sets of detections on one device.
