Additionally, the device is designed to create highly accurate and dimensionally consistent splines, promoting a proper fit of the axle shaft side gear to enhance its long-term durability and performance.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, a perspective view of an automated axle shaft side gear refurbishment device is illustrated, respectively, comprising a platform 101 configured with an elongated member 102 developed and positioned on a ground surface, a touch interactive display panel 103 is mounted on the platform 101, a motorized circular chuck 104 mounted on free-end of the member 102, attached via a L-shaped horizontal link 105, multiple clamping jaws 106 are attached to the chuck 104, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 107 installed on the platform 101, plurality of welding torches 108 of varying kinds is arranged on the platform 101.

[0023] Figure 1 further illustrates a carbide cutting tool 109 mounted on the platform 101 via an L-type telescopic rod 110, a stainless-steel cutting tool 111 mounted on the platform 101 via a L-type telescopic bar 112, plurality of spindles 113 mounted on a L-type telescopic pole 114 with multiple extendable grooved structures 115 fabricated over the spindles 113, a speaker 116 mounted on the platform 101, a suction unit 117 is connected to side portion of the platform 101, an electronic nozzle 118 attached with a water chamber 119., a pair of robotic arms 120 installed on the platform 101.

[0024] A platform 101 used herein comprises of a handy and portable rectangular structure arranged with various components associated with the device, wherein the platform 101 is made up of material that includes but not limited to plastic or metal that ensures that the device is of generous size and is light in weight. The platform 101 is configured with an elongated member 102.

[0025] The platform 101 is installed with a touch interactive display panel 103 which facilitates a user in providing touch input command regarding repairing of splines of an axle shaft side gear. The touch interactive display panel 103 as mentioned herein is typically an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen that presents output in a visible form. The screen is equipped with touch-sensitive technology, allowing the user to interact directly with the display using their fingers. A touch controller IC (Integrated Circuit) is responsible for processing the analog signals generated when the user inputs details regarding repairing of splines of an axle shaft side gear. A touch controller is typically connected to the microcontroller through various interfaces which may include but are not limited to SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).

[0026] A motorized circular chuck 104, is mounted at the free end of the member 102 and is attached via an L-shaped horizontal link 105 to facilitate its rotational movement. The chuck 104 is a circular, mechanical component designed to securely hold or grip axle shaft side gear. The motorized feature allows the chuck 104 to rotate under the control of a motor, enabling precise manipulation of the axle shaft side gear held by the chuck 104.

[0027] The L-shaped horizontal link 105 herein is pneumatically actuated, wherein the pneumatic arrangement of the link 105 comprises of a cylinder incorporated with an air piston and the air compressor, wherein the compressor controls discharging of compressed air into the cylinder via air valves which further leads to the extension/retraction of the piston. The piston is attached to the telescopic link 105, wherein the extension/retraction of the piston corresponds to the extension/retraction of the link 105. The actuated compressor allows extension of the link 105 to serves as a connecting mechanism that allows for the transfer of rotational motion from the motor to the chuck 104, ensuring smooth and controlled rotation.

[0028] The chuck 104 is arranged with multiple clamping jaws 106 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) that clamp an axle shaft side gear engaged by the user with the chuck 104. The clamping jaws 106 used herein has an open side and a curved side, forming a partial circle or a half-moon shape. At the open side of the clamping jaws 106, there is a screw mechanism which includes a threaded screw and an electric motor. As the motor rotates it causes the screw to move in or out, which in turn adjusts the width of the clamping jaws 106 opening and eventually applies the required force to grip the axle shaft side gear engaged by the user with the chuck 104.

[0029] The platform 101 is installed with an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 107 which is synced with an ultrasonic sensor that is integrated with the platform 101. The microcontroller synchronously actuates the imaging unit 107 to detect dimensions of gear splines. The imaging unit 107 disclosed herein comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the side gear and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 107 in form of an optical data.

[0030] The imaging unit 107 also comprises of the processor which processes the captured images. This pre-processing involves tasks such as noise reduction, image stabilization, or color correction. The processed data is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilizes machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information from the visual data which are processed by the microcontroller to detect dimensions of gear splines.

[0031] The ultrasonic sensor works by emitting ultrasonic waves and then measuring the time taken by these waves to bounce back after hitting the surface of the gear splines. The ultrasonic sensor includes two main parts viz. transmitter, and a receiver. The transmitter sends a short ultrasonic pulse towards the surface of gear splines which propagates through the air at the speed of sound and reflects back as an echo to the transmitter as the pulse hits the gear splines The transmitter then detects the reflected eco from the surface of gear splines and calculations is performed by the sensor based on the time interval between the sending signal and receiving echo to determine the dimensions of gear splines, including depth, width, and spacing.

[0032] The ultrasonic sensor sends these measurements to the microcontroller, which compares them with the specifications provided by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Based on this comparison, the microcontroller guides the repair process, ensuring that the side gear refurbishment adheres to OEM standards.

[0033] The clamping jaws 106 are installed with a tactile sensor which detect hardness of the axle shaft side gear. The tactile sensor detects the hardness of the axle shaft side gear by measuring the force of contact between the sensor and the surface of axle shaft side gear. The sensor is typically a small, flat component that is placed against surface of the axle shaft side gear and then pressed down. As the force of contact increases, the sensor measures the amount of pressure being applied and sends a signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then interprets the signal and determines the hardness of the axle shaft side gear.

[0034] Based on which the microcontroller selects appropriate cutting tool and welding process. For the welding operation plurality of welding torches 108 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers), each of varying types and configurations, is arranged on the platform 101. The welding torches 108 are accessed by a pair of robotic arms 120 that are installed on the platform 101.

[0035] The robotic arms 120 used herein mainly comprises of motor controllers, arm, end effector and sensors. The arm is the essential part of the robotic arms 120 and it comprises of three parts the shoulder, elbow and wrist. All these components are connected through joints, with the shoulder resting at the base of the arm, typically connected to the microcontroller. The elbow is in the middle and allows the upper section of the arm to move forward or backward independently of the lower section. Finally, the wrist is at the very end of the upper arm and attaches to the end effector. The end effector connected to the arm acts as a hand and acquire a grip of the welding torches 108 for positioning the torches 108 in an appropriate position in order to perform specified operation efficiently.

[0036] On the upper portion of the platform 101 TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding torches 108 are positioned, specifically designed to repair damaged sections of the gear splines by applying metal layer by layer. The TIG welding torch is used for bronze-type gears, providing high precision and control over the weld, which is necessary for the delicate nature of bronze material. On the other hand, the MIG welding torch is employed for stainless steel-type gears, offering a faster and more efficient welding process suitable for the more robust properties of stainless steel.

[0037] The microcontroller, integrated within the device, automatically determines the type of gear being worked on and accesses the appropriate welding torches 108, TIG for bronze gears and MIG for stainless steel gears, thereby ensuring optimal results for the repair process. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding torches 108 work by using a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an arc between the electrode and the axle shaft side gear. This arc melts the base material, allowing it to fuse together. The welding process is shielded by an inert gas, typically argon or helium, which protects the molten weld pool from oxidation and contamination. The microcontroller controls the filler material manually, feeding it into the weld pool if needed.

[0038] MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding torches 108 work by feeding a continuous wire electrode through a nozzle 118, which is heated by an electric arc created between the wire and the workpiece. The wire melts, forming a weld pool. A shielding gas, usually argon or a mix of gases, flows through the torch nozzle 118 to protect the molten weld pool from contamination by atmospheric gases like oxygen and nitrogen. The microcontroller controls the wire feed speed and the torch's movement, ensuring a stable arc and uniform weld. MIG welding is widely used for its speed and ease of operation, especially on thin to medium materials.

[0039] The platform 101 is installed with an angle sensor which measure the angular position of each spline during the refurbishment process. The angle sensor mentioned herein works on the principle of detecting changes in magnetic fields or optical signals. By analyzing these changes, the angle sensor accurately monitors angular position of each spline. This information is then further transmitted to the microcontroller in the form of digital signal to analyze and monitoring angular position of each spline during the refurbishment process and generate audible alert if spline angle deviates from OEM standard.

[0040] A carbide cutting tool 109 is mounted on the platform 101 using an L-type telescopic rod 110, where the rod 110 and cutting tool are dynamically controlled by the microcontroller. The primary function of the carbide cutting tool 109 is to create splines in the internal section of a bronze alloy gear after the welding process. The carbide cutting tool 109 precise operation is regulated by the microcontroller, which receives real-time feedback from the tactile sensor, imaging unit 107, and ultrasonic sensor integrated into the platform 101.

[0041] The carbide cutting tool 109 rotates via a motor coupled within the carbide cutting tool 109 and engages the carbide cutting tool 109 with the surface of the gear. As the motor rotates the carbide carbide cutting tool 109, on rotation the carbide cutting tool 109 cuts away material to form the required splines. The carbide cutting tool 109 cuts with precision, guided by feedback from the tactile sensor, imaging unit 107, and ultrasonic sensor. These sensors provide real-time data, ensuring that the tool adjusts its position and pressure for accurate spline formation, aligning with the gear specifications.

[0042] A stainless-steel cutting tool 111 is securely mounted on the platform 101 via an L-type telescopic bar 112, allowing for dynamic adjustment and precision positioning during operation. This stainless-steel cutting tool 111 is specifically designed for the creation of splines in the internal section of a stainless-steel gear following the welding process. The stainless-steel cutting tool 111 operation is regulated by a microcontroller, which processes real-time data received from the tactile sensor, imaging unit 107, and ultrasonic sensor integrated with the platform 101.

[0043] The stainless-steel cutting tool 111 is coupled with a motor that controlling its rotation. The motor is engaged to rotate the cutting blade of the stainless-steel cutting tool 111, which is positioned at the cutting end. Upon receiving signals from the microcontroller, the motor rotates the blade in contact with the internal section of the stainless-steel gear. The ultrasonic sensor monitors the depth, while the tactile sensor ensures the correct pressure. The imaging unit 107 tracks the stainless-steel cutting tool 111 movement, adjusting the cutting speed and position to create the necessary splines in the gear based on real-time feedback.

[0044] During the spline cutting operation, the microcontroller activates an electronic nozzle 118 connected to a water chamber 119, which is mounted on the platform 101. The nozzle 118 dispenses a controlled flow of water onto the axle shaft side gear. This water serves as a coolant, preventing overheating of the gear during the cutting process. The microcontroller regulates the flow of water based on real-time temperature data, ensuring that the axle shaft side gear remains at an optimal temperature, thereby preventing any thermal damage or distortion that occur due to excessive heat generated during the cutting of the splines.

[0045] When activated, the microcontroller sends a signal to open the valve, allowing water to flow from the chamber 119 through the nozzle 118. The nozzle 118 directs a fine stream of water onto the axle shaft side gear during the spline cutting process. The water is applied precisely where heat buildup is most significant, cooling the gear to prevent overheating. The flow rate is dynamically adjusted based on temperature feedback to ensure effective cooling and maintain the proper temperature of the gear throughout the cutting operation.

[0046] As the cutting operation is completed the microcontroller directs plurality of spindles 113 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) that are mounted on an L-type telescopic pole 114, with each spindle 113 being equipped with multiple extendable grooved structures 115. These spindles 113 are designed to adjust in length and positioning, facilitated by the telescopic functionality of the pole 114. The extendable grooved structures 115 are fabricated over the spindles 113, allowing for adjustable placement to accommodate varying sizes and configurations of axle shaft side gears. The groove’s structure is embedded with a drawer arrangement.

[0047] The drawer arrangement consists of multiple plates that are overlapped to each other with a sliding unit, wherein upon actuation of the drawer arrangement by the microcontroller, the motor in the sliding unit starts rotating a wheel coupled via a shaft in clockwise/anticlockwise direction providing a movement to the slider in the drawer arrangement to extend/retract the groove structure for ensuring secure engagement with the gear, providing stability during the refurbishment process.

[0048] The grooved structures 115 integrated with multiple touch sensors (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) to measure structure of splines in gear. The touch sensor comprises a sensing element known as elastomer for sensing the interaction of the grooved structures 115 with the splines in gear. When the sensor is subjected to the interaction, the sensor gets activated and behave like a switch. When the interaction is released, the touch sensor acts as closed switch to experience the force exerted by the grooved structures 115 on the splines in gear. This force leads to deflection in the elastomer which is measured and converted into an electrical signal. After that the touch sensor transmits the electric signal to the microcontroller linked with the sensor. The microcontroller now analyzes the signal to measure structure of splines in gear.

[0049] During the burr removal process from newly created splines, the microcontroller continuously monitors the dimensions of the splines. If the spline dimensions deviate from the required specifications, the microcontroller triggers an alert through a speaker 116 mounted on the platform 101. This alert notifies the user of the discrepancy, ensuring that corrective action is taken promptly.

[0050] The speaker 116 disclosed herein works by receiving signals from the microcontroller, converting them into sound waves through a diaphragm’s vibration, and producing audible sounds with the help of amplification and control circuitry in order to notify the user of the discrepancy, ensuring that corrective action is taken promptly.

[0051] The platform 101 is installed with an optical thickness sensor which measures thickness of axle shaft side gear. The sensor emits light, and based on the reflection or absorption of light, it determines the thickness of the gear. The data from the sensor is processed by the microcontroller, which compares the measured thickness to a predefined threshold limit. If the thickness of the axle shaft side gear is found to be below the acceptable limit, the microcontroller automatically initiates a rejection mechanism, ensuring that the defective gear is discarded. This device prevents substandard gears from being processed further, maintaining the quality and integrity of the finished products.

[0052] A suction unit 117 is connected to the side portion of the platform 101, designed to clean the spline section before and after the working process. The suction unit 117 operates by creating a vacuum, which draws away debris, metal shavings, or any other residues that may accumulate during the machining process. This cleaning occurs without interrupting the operational functionality of the platform 101. The suction unit 117 is strategically positioned to target the spline section specifically, ensuring that the area remains clean and free of contaminants, which affect the quality of the process and the final product.

[0053] Moreover, a battery is associated with the device for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with the device and supplying a voltage to the components. The battery used herein is preferably a Lithium-ion battery which is a rechargeable unit that demands power supply after getting drained. The battery stores the electric current derived from an external source in the form of chemical energy, which when required by the electronic component of the device, derives the required power from the battery for proper functioning of the device.

[0054] Although the field of the invention has been described herein with limited reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense.
