The basic action process of the detection device for detecting the axial clearance of the ball in the workpiece is as follows: in an initial state, the pressing cylinder a1 is retracted, the lifting cylinder e7 is retracted, the three-jaw cylinder b2 is extended, the pushing cylinder e5 is extended, the lifting cylinder e7 is retracted, and the three-jaw cylinder b2 is located right above the lifting cylinder e 7; when the work is started, a workpiece (a ball-assembled retainer) is placed on the conveyor belt e4, after the workpiece is conveyed to the in-place detection sensor e11 to measure signals, the material pushing cylinder e5 retracts to drive the material pushing arm e6 to push the workpiece to the workpiece support table e8, the material pushing cylinder e5 extends out again, the material lifting cylinder e7 extends to a preset position, the three-jaw cylinder b2 retracts to clamp the workpiece through the clamping jaw b3, and the material lifting cylinder retracts again; then, the electric linear sliding table c2 drives the detection executing device to move forward, so that the workpiece is brought to a preset detection station, namely above the lifting mechanism, or above the displacement probe 3, and then the sliding table cylinder d1 extends out, the electric rotary table rotates, so that the displacement probe 3 is pressed against the lowest point of the surface of the sphere to be detected (at this time, the sphere is pressed to the highest position by the displacement probe 3), and the reading of the displacement probe 3 at this time is recorded; the push-down cylinder a1 is then extended to make the spring pressure head 2 touch the workpiece from above, the spring pressure head 2 is opposite to the displacement probe 3, and presses down from the highest point of the workpiece sphere surface to press the sphere to the lowest position, and the reading of the displacement probe 3 is recorded at the moment. The difference (absolute value) between the two recorded measurements is the value of the play of the corresponding sphere.
The specific implementation principle of the method for finding the lowest point on the surface of the sphere by the displacement probe 3 is as follows: after the lifting cylinder lifts the displacement probe 3 to the position (which may or may not contact with the sphere at this time), the electric turntable b1 rotates to make the displacement probe 3 slide along the surface of the sphere, the displacement probe 3 will change the reading from contacting the sphere, the position where the reading has the peak value is the position of the lowest point on the surface of the sphere, after the peak value is generated, the electric turntable b1 drives the workpiece to rotate back to the peak value position, and then the position that the displacement probe 3 touches against is the lowest point on the surface of the sphere at this time.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the workpiece to be detected is shown in fig. 5, which is a ball-assembled holder with 8 balls, and the spring pressure head 2 and the displacement probe 3 are both provided with 4 balls uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction in this embodiment, so that the advantage of this arrangement is that the number of the spring pressure heads and the displacement probes is not excessively dense and the arrangement is convenient, and during the detection, after the electric turntable b1 rotates twice, the displacement probe 3 can be used to complete the top touch detection of all the workpiece balls, and the 8 data corresponding to the requirement are detected by matching with the spring pressure head 2. The specific process is that the electric turntable rotates for the first time, as described in the previous paragraph, the electric turntable drives the workpiece to rotate, in the process of rotating the workpiece, the displacement probe 3 which is abutted against the workpiece finds the lowest point of the surface of the sphere, because the 4 displacement probes are all circumferentially and uniformly arranged at intervals and correspond to 4 spheres in the workpiece, after the first-time rotation of the electric turntable is finished, the 4 displacement probes 3 simultaneously measure the data that 4 spheres are jacked to the highest position, the spring pressure head 2 presses the spheres with the pressing cylinder a1 to measure the data that the 4 spheres are pressed to the lowest position, and then the pressing cylinder a1 and the sliding table cylinder d1 are both retracted; then, the electric turntable b1 rotates for the second time, because 8 spheres on the workpiece are provided, and the displacement probes 3 uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction have found the highest points of 4 spheres, so as long as the electric turntable b1 rotates by 45 degrees, the pressing cylinder a1 and the sliding table cylinder d1 extend out successively, the 4 displacement probes 3 respectively obtain the data that the rest 4 spheres are pressed to the highest positions, the spring pressure head 2 presses downwards subsequently, the 4 displacement probes 3 measure the data that the rest 4 spheres are pressed to the lowest positions, and after difference operation, the axial play of the 4 spheres is obtained.
After all data are measured, the electric linear sliding table c2 drives the three-jaw cylinder b2 to move to a blanking station, a clamping jaw of the three-jaw cylinder extends out, a workpiece falls into a blanking frame, and then the electric linear sliding table c2 resets to wait for detecting the next workpiece. In this embodiment, there are two blanking slots in the blanking frame 4, receive certified products and non-certified products respectively, and electric linear sliding table c2 transports certified products and non-certified products to the top of corresponding blanking slot respectively according to the testing result.
