Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bearing testing equipment, and in particular to a bearing retainer groove height testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Bearing retainer grooves are of great significance in the mechanical field. They are annular grooves designed on bearings or bushings, mainly used for installing retainers and other structures, and are widely used for axial positioning and fixing of rotating parts.

[0003] With the increasing precision of mechanical equipment, the requirements for the assembly accuracy of bearings and related components are becoming increasingly stringent. The height of the retaining ring groove directly affects the installation effect of the retaining ring and the overall operational stability of the equipment. Therefore, accurately measuring the height of the retaining ring groove has become a crucial step in ensuring product quality and equipment performance.

[0004] In existing technologies, the height of the retaining ring groove is usually measured manually using a vernier caliper or micrometer. The operator needs to manually adjust the measuring position and read the data, resulting in very low efficiency in detecting the height of the bearing retaining ring groove. Utility Model Content

[0005] To further improve the efficiency of bearing retainer groove height detection, this application provides a bearing retainer groove height detection device.

[0006] The bearing retaining ring groove height detection device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A bearing retaining ring groove height detection device includes a detection table, a lower support, and a detection mechanism. The lower support includes a support base, a support cylinder, and a support block. The support base is installed below the detection table, the support cylinder is installed on the support base, and the support block is installed on the piston rod of the support cylinder. A support groove is provided on the detection table corresponding to the support block, and the support block can pass through the support groove to support the bearing. A mounting base is placed on one side of the detection table, and the detection mechanism is installed on the mounting base for detecting the bearing height.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the testing platform and the lower support component can achieve stable support for the bearing, ensuring positioning accuracy during the testing process. The support cylinder drives the support block through the support groove to support the bearing, improving the automation and convenience of the operation. The testing mechanism is mounted on an independent mounting base, facilitating adjustment of its position and angle, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the bearing retaining ring groove height detection.

[0009] In one specific implementation, the system also includes an upper support member, which comprises a pressing cylinder, a support plate, and a pressing component. The pressing cylinder is mounted on a mounting base, the support plate is mounted on the piston rod of the pressing cylinder, and the pressing component is mounted on the support plate for pressing down and supporting the bearing component.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and adding an upper support component, downward pressure can be applied to the bearing to ensure its stability during the testing process and avoid measurement errors caused by vibration or external force. The lowering cylinder drives the support plate and the lowering component to move, realizing precise control of the bearing pressure and improving the reliability and repeatability of the test.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the pressing component includes a pressing plate and a pressing roller. A sliding rod is mounted on the support plate and is slidably connected to the support plate. A limiting spring is sleeved on the sliding rod. The pressing plate is fixedly connected to the sliding rod. One end of the limiting spring is fixedly connected to the pressing plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support plate. The pressing roller is installed at the lower end of the pressing plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the lower pressure plate and the lower pressure roller enables the detection device to perform stable lower pressure operation on the bearing, ensuring accurate positioning of the bearing during the detection process; the sliding connection structure between the slide rod and the support plate provides a guiding function for the lower pressure plate, ensuring the smoothness of the lower pressure process; the setting of the limit spring can provide a buffering function during the lower pressure process, avoiding excessive impact force on the bearing, thereby protecting the bearing from damage.

[0013] In one specific implementation, two sets of pressure rollers are installed, and the two sets of pressure rollers are respectively installed on both sides of the pressure plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, two sets of downward pressure rollers are installed on both sides of the lower pressure plate of the testing device, which can achieve uniform downward pressure when testing the height of the bearing retaining ring groove. The arrangement of two sets of downward pressure rollers makes the downward pressure distribution more even, avoiding the bearing tilting or uneven force that may be caused by a single pressure point, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the test. At the same time, the design of the downward pressure rollers on both sides can also effectively reduce the displacement of the bearing during the test, ensuring the reliability of the test results.

[0015] In one specific implementation, at least two sets of slide bars are provided, and they are respectively installed at both ends of the support rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting at least two sets of sliding rods and installing them at both ends of the support rod, the stability of the lower pressure plate during the up-and-down movement is effectively improved, avoiding tilting or offset problems caused by single-point support.

[0017] In one specific implementation, the detection mechanism includes a radial drive, a radial slider, a vertical drive, a vertical slider, and a detection probe. The radial drive is mounted on a mounting base, and the radial slider is mounted on the radial drive, which drives the radial slider to move radially back and forth. The vertical drive is mounted on the radial slider, and the vertical slider is mounted on the vertical drive, which drives the vertical slider to move. The detection probe is mounted on the vertical slider.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the detection probe can achieve precise multi-dimensional movement through the cooperation of radial and vertical drive components. Specifically, the radial drive component drives the radial slider to reciprocate radially, allowing the detection probe to flexibly adjust its position in the horizontal direction; the vertical drive component drives the vertical slider to move vertically, thereby achieving precise positioning of the detection probe in the vertical direction. This multi-dimensional movement capability ensures that the detection probe can accurately align with different positions of the bearing retaining ring groove, improving the accuracy and efficiency of height detection.

[0019] In one specific implementation, the radial drive component includes a radial motor, a radial slide rail, and a radial lead screw. The radial slide rail is mounted on a mounting base, the radial motor is mounted on one end of the radial slide rail, a drive gear is mounted on the output shaft of the radial motor, the radial lead screw is rotatably connected to the radial slide rail, an auxiliary gear is provided at one end of the radial lead screw, a belt is fitted on both the drive gear and the auxiliary gear, and a radial slider is slidably connected to the radial slide rail and driven by the radial lead screw.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the radial motor can drive the radial lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the radial slider to reciprocate along the radial slide rail, realizing the radial position adjustment of the detection probe. The cooperation between the radial lead screw, drive gear, auxiliary gear, and belt ensures the stability and accuracy of the transmission, while simplifying the structure and reducing manufacturing costs. The drive connection method between the radial slider and the radial lead screw further improves the accuracy and reliability of position adjustment.

[0021] In one specific implementation, the vertical drive component includes a vertical motor, a vertical guide rail, and a vertical lead screw. The vertical guide rail is mounted vertically on a radial slider, the vertical lead screw is rotatably connected to the vertical guide rail, the vertical motor is mounted on the vertical guide rail and its output shaft is connected to the vertical lead screw, and the vertical slider is slidably connected to the vertical guide rail and driven by the vertical lead screw.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical drive component uses a combination structure of a vertical motor, a vertical guide rail, and a vertical lead screw, achieving precise control of the vertical slider. The vertical motor drives the vertical lead screw to rotate, causing the vertical slider to move stably and precisely in the vertical direction along the vertical guide rail, thereby ensuring that the detection probe can be accurately adjusted to the required detection position, improving detection accuracy and efficiency.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. By coordinating the testing table, lower support, and testing mechanism, the height of the bearing retainer groove can be automatically detected, effectively improving testing efficiency and accuracy and reducing the impact of human factors on the measurement results;

[0025] 2. The support cylinder drives the support block through the support groove to provide stable support for the bearing, ensuring that the bearing position is fixed during the test, thereby improving the reliability of the test;

[0026] 3. The testing mechanism adopts a combination of radial and vertical drive components to achieve precise movement of the testing probe in space, meeting the height testing requirements of bearing retainer grooves of different specifications, and has strong adaptability.
