Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically a gear testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Gear inspection equipment is an industrial instrument specifically designed for precision quality inspection of gear components. By integrating technologies such as optical measurement, contact probes, laser scanning, or image recognition, it can systematically detect key parameters of gears, including tooth profile, module error, pitch deviation, tooth surface roughness, hardness distribution, and overall geometric dimensions. It is mainly used in the quality control process of the mechanical manufacturing field (such as automotive parts, machine tool cutting tools, and industrial robot joints).

When faced with gears of different specifications and sizes, it is often difficult to achieve convenient and effective fixing. At the same time, gear testing equipment relies on integrated optical measurement and other identification technologies for gear testing.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the feeding assembly includes a limiting slide rail and a limiting mounting block. Two sets of limiting slide rails are provided and are respectively located on the outer wall of the mounting base.

The limiting mounting block is installed on the inner wall of the mounting base. The limiting mounting block is located on one side of the limiting groove. An electrically controlled cylinder is embedded in the outer wall of the limiting mounting block and is located in the inner cavity of the mounting base.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sliding block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting slide rail, a fixed base is installed on the outer wall of the sliding block, an electrically controlled magnet is embedded in the outer wall of the fixed base, a gear workpiece is provided on the outer wall of the electrically controlled magnet, a limiting block is installed on the bottom outer wall of the fixed base, wherein the limiting block is located in the inner cavity of the limiting groove, and one end of the limiting block is connected to an electrically controlled cylinder, and a magnetic fixing component is inserted and removed from the outer wall of the gear workpiece, and one end of the magnetic fixing component is magnetically connected to the electrically controlled magnet.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component includes a fixed slide rail and a mounting plate. The fixed slide rail is provided in two sets and is located on the opposing inner walls of the detection housing, respectively. The mounting plate is provided in two sets and is located on the opposing inner walls of the detection housing, respectively.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the fixed slide rail is connected to a mounting plate, and limit rods are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the mounting plate. Multiple sets of limit rods are arranged and are located on the outer wall of the mounting plate, and one end of the limit rod is connected to the base surface of the mounting base.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an electrically controlled limiting cylinder is embedded in one side of the limiting rod and on the outer wall of the mounting plate. A slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed slide rail. A mounting base plate is installed on the outer wall of the slider. The electrically controlled limiting cylinder is connected to the outer wall of the mounting base plate, and a limiting rod is slidably connected to one end of the mounting base plate.

[0017] This invention improves gear detection by incorporating a limiting component in the gear testing equipment, enabling gear flipping for better testing results. An electrically controlled telescopic cylinder pushes a guide rod, displacing an electrically controlled rotating base so that the electrically controlled grippers precisely hold the gear. Subsequently, an electrically controlled limiting cylinder pulls the mounting plate upwards along a fixed slide rail and a limiting rod. Once the operator confirms the position through a transparent window, the gear rotates and flips. Finally, the limiting component completes the gear reset operation. This solves the problem of insufficient gear testing caused by the reliance on integrated optical measurement and other identification technologies, which are limited by optical recognition methods and make it difficult to identify the back of the gear.

One end of each limiting rod 603 is connected to the base surface of the mounting base 1. An electrically controlled limiting cylinder 604 is embedded in one side of each limiting rod 603 on the outer wall of the mounting plate 602. The fixed slide rail 601... A slider 605 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the gear workpiece 407. A mounting base plate 606 is installed on the outer wall of the slider 605. An electrically controlled limit cylinder 604 is connected to the outer wall of the mounting base plate 606, and a limit rod 603 is slidably connected to one end of the mounting base plate 606. An electrically controlled telescopic cylinder 607 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the mounting base plate 606. A guide rod 608 is installed on one end of the electrically controlled telescopic cylinder 607. An electric slip ring 609 is installed on the outer wall of the guide rod 608. An electrically controlled rotary seat 610 is installed on one end of the guide rod 608. An electrically controlled gripper 611 is installed on the outer wall of the electrically controlled rotary seat 610, and the electrically controlled gripper 611 is located on one side of the gear workpiece 407.
[0029] The detection camera 11 and detection sensor 12 are located directly above the gear workpiece 407. The control console 2 is connected to the detection camera 11, detection sensor 12, electric cylinder 403, electric magnet 406, electric limit cylinder 604, electric telescopic cylinder 607, electric rotary seat 610, and electric gripper 611 via wires. The device is powered on, and the control console 2 controls the detection camera 11, detection sensor 12, electric cylinder 403, electric magnet 406, electric limit cylinder 604, electric telescopic cylinder 607, electric rotary seat 610, and electric gripper 611 to operate.
[0030] Based on the above structural features and connection relationships, the control console 2 controls the electric rotary seat 610 to rotate, which in turn causes the electric rotary seat 610 to drive the gear workpiece 407 to rotate and flip through the electric gripper 611. At this time, the electric slip ring 609 supplies power to the electric rotary seat 610 and the electric gripper 611.
[0031] When the gear inspection equipment of this solution is working, the inspection camera 11 and inspection sensor 12 are located directly above the gear workpiece 407. The control console 2 is connected to the inspection camera 11, inspection sensor 12, electric cylinder 403, electric magnet 406, electric limit cylinder 604, electric telescopic cylinder 607, electric rotating seat 610 and electric gripper 611 through wires. Under the action of the electric connection, the device is powered on, and the control console 2 controls the inspection camera 11, inspection sensor 12, electric cylinder 403, electric magnet 406, electric limit cylinder 604, electric telescopic cylinder 607, electric rotating seat 610 and electric gripper 611 to operate.
[0032] An electrically controlled magnet 406 is embedded in the outer wall of a fixed base 405. A gear workpiece 407 is mounted on the outer wall of the electrically controlled magnet 406. A limit block 408 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the fixed base 405. The limit block 408 is located in the inner cavity of the limit groove 3, and one end of the limit block 408 is connected to an electrically controlled cylinder 403. Under the action of the cylinder, the gear workpiece 407 is placed on the outer wall of the fixed base 405. Then, a magnetic fixing piece 409 is inserted into the inner wall of the gear workpiece 407. Finally, the switch of the control panel 2 is turned on to enable the control... The control table 2 controls the electric magnet 406 to generate magnetism, which in turn causes the electric magnet 406 to magnetically attract and fix the magnetic fixing part 409, thereby fixing the gear workpiece 407. Since this fixing structure does not have adjustable dimensions, it can fix gears of different sizes very well, thus solving the problem that the fixing mechanism of gear testing equipment has certain limitations, and its clamping size can only be adjusted within a specific adjustable range. When facing gears of different specifications and sizes, it is often difficult to achieve convenient and effective fixing.
[0033] By turning on the switch of the control console 2, the control console 2 controls the electric cylinder 403 to operate, which in turn causes one end of the electric cylinder 403 to pull the fixed base 405 through the limit block 408, so that the fixed base 405 drives the sliding block 404 to move laterally on the outer wall of the limit slide rail 401. This causes the fixed base 405 to move the gear workpiece 407 to a suitable position. When the gear workpiece 407 is directly below the detection camera 11 and the detection sensor 12, the operator turns on the control console 2 to stop the electric cylinder 403.
[0034] The detection camera 11 and the detection sensor 12 are controlled by the control console 2 to operate, so that the detection camera 11 performs optical recognition on the gear workpiece 407 to generate data, and then the detection camera 11 generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the control console 2 through wires. At the same time, the detection sensor 12 performs optical recognition on the gear workpiece 407 to generate data, and then the detection sensor 12 generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the control console 2 through wires. The data is then displayed on the display screen of the control console 2 so that the operator can perform the inspection.
[0035] Controlling the electrically controlled telescopic cylinder 607 via console 2 causes one end of the cylinder to move the guide rod 608, which in turn moves the electrically controlled rotating seat 610. When the electrically controlled rotating seat 610 moves the electrically controlled gripper 611 to one side of the gear workpiece 407, the gripper 611 clamps and fixes the gear workpiece 407. Subsequently, console 2 controls the electrically controlled limiting cylinder 604 to move, causing one end of the limiting cylinder 604 to pull the mounting base plate 606. This causes the mounting base plate 606 to move the slider 605 upward on the inner wall of the fixed slide rail 601. Simultaneously, the mounting base plate 605... 6. The limit rod 603 moves upward on its outer wall. When the mounting base 606 moves to a suitable height, the operator observes through the transparent window 8 and turns on the switch of the control panel 2 to stop the operation of the electric limit cylinder 604. Then, the control panel 2 controls the electric rotary seat 610 to rotate, which in turn causes the electric rotary seat 610 to drive the gear workpiece 407 to rotate and flip through the electric gripper 611. Then, the limit assembly 6 resets the gear workpiece 407, thereby solving the problem that gear detection equipment relies on integrated optical measurement and other identification technologies for gear detection. Due to the limitations of optical identification methods, it is difficult to identify the back of the gear, which leads to insufficient gear detection.
[0036] The detection camera 11, detection sensor 12, electrically controlled cylinder 403, electrically controlled magnet 406, electrically controlled limit cylinder 604, electrically controlled telescopic cylinder 607, electrically controlled rotating seat 610, electrically controlled gripper 611, and control console 2 used in this utility model are all existing known electrical devices, and all can be directly purchased and used on the market. Their structure, circuit, and control principle are all existing known technologies.
