[0042] This utility model proposes a bearing clearance measuring mechanism.

[0043] In this embodiment of the utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bearing clearance measuring mechanism includes:

[0044] Measuring platform 1, which is used to place the stator bearing assembly;

[0045] A rotary power unit is located above the measuring platform 1 and includes a vertical moving mechanism and a rotating head 21. The lower end of the rotating head 21 is provided with a clamping part 22 for fixing the inner ring of the bearing.

[0046] Push rod 3, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the rotating head 21, and the lower end of which is suspended and extends in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating head 21;

[0047] The opposing clamping measurement unit includes a horizontally symmetrically arranged clearance sensor 4 and stator clamp 5. The clearance sensor 4 and stator clamp 5 are synchronously moving in opposite directions through a first linear drive module and a second linear drive module, respectively, to clamp or release the stator bearing assembly.

[0048] A control unit is used to signal connect with the rotary power unit and the opposing clamping measurement unit.

[0049] When the rotating head 21 rotates, it can contact the connecting foot 100 of the stator through the push rod 3, and drive the stator to achieve indexing rotation.

[0050] The steps for measuring clearance are as follows:

[0051] 1. The stator bearing assembly is placed onto the measuring table 1 by manual labor or a robotic arm.

[0052] 2. The rotary power unit moves downwards through the vertical moving mechanism to approach the stator bearing assembly on the measuring table 1 for positioning and alignment, and fixes the inner ring of the bearing through the clamp 22 to form a measurement reference.

[0053] 3. The backlash sensor 4 and the stator clamp 5 move forward simultaneously to clamp the stator and then release the stator. The working state is simulated by applying and removing the measuring load to achieve the first measurement.

[0054] 4. By rotating the rotating head 21 and cooperating with the connecting foot of the push rod 3 to the stator, the stator is rotated 120 degrees, changing the angle of the measuring load direction relative to the original position of the bearing / stator.

[0055] 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 twice, applying loads at three equally divided points along the circumference and measuring the displacement.

[0056] 6. After measurement is completed, the workpiece is removed, and the system calculates the final structure based on the displacement data measured on three sides.

[0057] Each time a load is applied during clamping, the system records the displacement of the rotating power shaft, i.e., the center of the bearing inner ring, relative to the fixed measurement reference established by the clearance sensor 4 / stator clamp. The system usually calculates the average of three displacements as the measured radial clearance value of the stator bearing assembly, compares this average value with the set acceptable range, and determines whether the assembly is qualified.

[0059] Specifically, the measuring platform 1 is fixed with a vertically extending positioning pin 11;

[0064] The clearance sensor 4 is mounted on the first sliding member 43.

[0065] Specifically, the second linear drive module includes a second bracket 51, a second cylinder 52, a second slider 53, and a second guide rail 54;

[0069] The split-type constraint structure includes a pair of spaced-apart retaining bars 55, the free end wall of which is an inclined surface for contacting the stator bearing assembly.

[0070] Specifically, the bottom of the measuring platform 1 is connected to a third linear drive module, and the measuring platform 1 can move between positions that are vertically opposite to and offset from the rotating head 21 by the drive of the third linear drive module;

[0075] The first telescopic member can move between positions that elastically abut against and move away from the first positioning frame 16 as the third sliding member 13 moves. When the first elastic telescopic member 15 cooperates with the first positioning frame 16, it restricts the displacement of the fourth sliding member 25, preventing excessive displacement of the fourth sliding member 25.

[0079] The fourth cylinder 24 is vertically fixed to the top of the stand 27, and the actuating end of the fourth cylinder 24 faces directly downward and is fixedly connected to the top wall of the fourth sliding member 25.

[0080] Specifically, the fourth sliding member 25 is provided with a second positioning frame 29, and the upright frame 27 is provided with a second elastic telescopic member 28.

[0081] Specifically, sensors can be installed at various locations in this utility model as needed to sense the state of each location, such as whether the stator bearing assembly is on the measuring platform 1.

[0082] This utility model's technical solution, through its unique structure of integrating a rotary power unit with a push rod to drive the stator connecting feet, combined with a three-point indexing measurement algorithm of the opposing clamping measurement unit, completely overturns the traditional manual inspection mode. It significantly shortens inspection time, improves measurement efficiency, and directly matches the pace of high-speed production lines. The opposing clamping measurement unit boasts high measurement repeatability and accuracy, precisely capturing micron-level clearance changes. The equipment utilizes the stator housing's native connecting feet as drive fulcrums, eliminating the need for dedicated rotary fixtures, thus reducing manufacturing costs.
