Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing technology, and in particular to a test bench for testing the efficiency of a reverse-type lead screw pair transmission. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of mechanical transmission, lead screw pairs are widely used in high-end equipment such as CNC machine tools, industrial robots, and aerospace due to their significant advantages of high precision, high efficiency, and high rigidity. Traditional standard lead screw pairs typically employ a motion pattern of screw rotation and nut axial movement, while reverse lead screw pairs employ a motion pattern of nut rotation and screw axial movement. Due to this unique motion characteristic, reverse lead screw pairs offer greater structural flexibility and application value in specific application scenarios such as robot joints and military equipment, and often utilize a long nut structure to accommodate long stroke requirements.

[0003] Currently, the transmission efficiency of the reverse lead screw pair is a key indicator for evaluating its performance, directly related to its energy loss, heat generation, and control accuracy. Accurate measurement of this indicator is crucial for evaluating product performance and guiding design optimization. In the existing technology, the test of the reverse lead screw pair mostly adopts a horizontal layout. However, the horizontal layout has obvious limitations: (1) Since the reverse lead screw pair often adopts a long nut structure, in the horizontal installation state, the weight of the long nut and the lead screw can easily cause bending deformation, generating additional bending moment, which in turn increases frictional resistance, resulting in distortion of the transmission efficiency measurement results and failing to reflect the true performance of the lead screw pair; (2) The torque sensor of the existing test device is often located before the support bearing, resulting in the measured torque including the frictional loss of the support bearing, which seriously affects the calculation accuracy of the input power; (3) Inaccurate axial force measurement and additional radial resistance introduced by poor installation alignment further reduce the reliability and repeatability of the test results. Summary of the Invention

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a test bench for testing the transmission efficiency of a reverse-type lead screw pair, including a main frame 1, an automatic centering mechanism, and a testing system 5. The main frame 1 is a vertical frame structure with a vertical testing station inside. In this embodiment, the main frame 1 is integrally cast from high-strength cast iron or welded from structural steel to form a vertical frame structure. It has a mounting base at the bottom, a crossbeam at the top, and an open testing space in the middle. Precision vertical guide rails 101 are symmetrically fixed to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the main frame 1 to guide the loading plate 304. The entire main frame 1 has sufficient rigidity and stability to ensure the relative positional accuracy of each component during testing. The vertical frame structure of the main frame 1 ensures that the reverse-type lead screw pair under test is installed in a vertical orientation. This layout ensures that the movement direction of the lead screw 402 and nut 401 is parallel to the direction of gravity. The self-weight of the nut 401 and lead screw 402 is borne by axial support, and radial deflection will not occur. This eliminates the unavoidable gravitational additional bending moment in the horizontal structure from the root, making the measured transmission efficiency closer to the true theoretical value of the tested reverse lead screw pair.

[0033] Reference Figure 4The automatic centering mechanism includes a transition plate 3051, an XY direction slide 3052, and a tensioning device 3053. The upper end of the transition plate 3051 is connected to the loading plate 304, the upper end of the XY direction slide 3052 is connected to the lower end of the transition plate 3051, and the upper end of the tensioning device 3053 is connected to the lower end of the XY direction slide 3052. The tensioning device 3053 is used to clamp and fix the tail end of the lead screw 402 of the tested reverse lead screw pair.

[0034] In this embodiment, the automatic centering mechanism includes, from top to bottom, an adapter plate 3051, an XY direction slide 3052, and a tensioning device 3053. The upper surface of the adapter plate 3051 is connected to the lower surface of the loading plate 304 by bolts, and three tension / compression sensors 501 are installed between them. The lower surface of the adapter plate 3051 is fixed to the top surface of the XY direction slide 3052. The XY direction slide 3052 adopts a cross-roller guide structure, which can provide high-precision micro-movement in the X and Y directions. The upper end face of the tensioning device 3053 is fixed to the bottom surface of the XY direction slide 3052. The tensioning device 3053 is a tapered sleeve locking structure, and its central hole is used to pass through the tail end journal of the lead screw 402 of the measured reverse lead screw pair. By tightening the circumferential bolts of the tensioning device 3053, the inner hole of the tapered sleeve shrinks uniformly, firmly gripping the journal of the lead screw 402, thereby restricting the circumferential rotational freedom of the lead screw 402 and making it only able to move axially.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 The testing system 5 includes a tension / compression sensor 501 and a grating ruler 502. The tension / compression sensor 501 is located between the loading plate 304 and the adapter plate 3051 and is used to measure the axial load force. The scale of the grating ruler 502 is located on the side plate of the main body 1 of the test bench, and its reading head is located on the loading plate 304 and is used to measure the displacement speed of the loading plate 304.

[0036] In this embodiment, three high-precision tension / compression sensors 501 are equidistantly arranged between the loading plate 304 and the adapter plate 3051 along the length of the loading plate 304. Each sensor is S-shaped or spoke-shaped, with its upper and lower ends connected to the loading plate 304 and the adapter plate 3051 respectively via threads. The signals from the three sensors are processed by a summing amplifier and then input to the data acquisition controller, representing the total axial load F applied by the loading system. The uniform distribution of the three tension / compression sensors 501 eliminates the influence of off-center loading and ensures the accuracy of the measured values.

[0037] The scale of the grating ruler 502 is affixed to the left or right outer wall of the main body 1 of the test bench, and its reading head is mounted on the loading plate 304 via a bracket. When the loading plate 304 moves, the reading head reads the scale on the ruler and outputs a digital pulse signal proportional to the displacement. The data acquisition controller calculates the displacement of the loading plate 304, and then differentiates it to obtain the moving speed v of the lead screw 402. The input power is calculated based on the input torque collected by the flange torque sensor 205 and the rotational speed of the first servo motor 201. The output power is calculated based on the total load force collected by the tension and compression sensor 501 and the moving speed of the measured reverse lead screw pair collected by the grating ruler 502. The ratio of the output power to the input power is then calculated as the transmission efficiency.

[0038] The reverse-type lead screw transmission efficiency test bench of this embodiment also includes a drive system, which is located at the lower part of the main body 1 of the test bench. The drive system includes a first servo motor 201, a double diaphragm coupling 202, a main shaft 203, a flange torque sensor 205, a turntable 206, and a slip ring 207. The output shaft of the first servo motor 201 is connected to the main shaft 203 through the double diaphragm coupling 202. The main shaft 203 is vertically mounted on the main body 1 of the test bench through a double-row angular contact bearing assembly 204. The input end of the flange torque sensor 205 is connected to the upper end of the main shaft 203, and the output end of the flange torque sensor 205 is connected to the turntable 206. The turntable 206 has a hollow structure and is equipped with positioning fixtures inside. The slip ring 207 is sleeved on the main shaft 203. The rotor of the slip ring 207 is connected to the cable of the flange torque sensor 205, and the stator of the slip ring 207 is fixed on the main body 1 of the test bench. The double diaphragm coupling 202 is used to compensate for installation errors and eliminate backlash; the double-row angular contact bearing assembly 204 is used to bear the axial and radial loads on the main shaft 203; the flange-type torque sensor 205 has axial load-bearing capacity, and the flange-type torque sensor 205 is arranged between the double-row angular contact bearing assembly 204 and the turntable 206, so that the torque value measured by the flange-type torque sensor 205 does not include the friction loss of the double-row angular contact bearing assembly 204. The turntable 206 is used to fix the nut 401 of the measured reverse-type lead screw pair and restrict its axial movement.

[0039] In this embodiment, the drive system is mounted on the bottom base of the main frame 1, adopting a vertical upward power output layout. The first servo motor 201 is vertically fixed to the bottom of the base via a motor mount, with its output shaft facing upward. The output shaft of the first servo motor 201 is connected to the lower end of the main shaft 203 via a high-precision double diaphragm coupling 202. The double diaphragm coupling 202 can compensate for minor coaxiality deviations between the motor shaft of the first servo motor 201 and the main shaft 203, and eliminate backlash, ensuring smooth power transmission. The inner ring of the double-row angular contact bearing assembly 204 mates with the main shaft 203, and the outer ring mates with the bearing housing. This mounting method provides a large span, enabling it to withstand large axial and radial loads simultaneously, ensuring the rotational accuracy of the main shaft 203 under high-speed rotation and axial reaction force.

[0040] A flange is machined onto the upper end of the spindle 203, which is bolted to the input flange of the flange-type torque sensor 205. The internal structure of this flange-type torque sensor 205 allows axial loads to pass through without affecting torque measurement, thus possessing axial load-bearing capacity. The sensor is positioned above the double-row angular contact bearing assembly 204, therefore the measured torque value is only the net torque required to drive the subsequent load, excluding bearing friction losses, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the input torque measurement.

[0041] The output flange of the flange-type torque sensor 205 is fixedly connected to the flange of the turntable 206 by bolts. The turntable 206 is a hollow disc made of high-strength steel, and its central hole is used to accommodate the nut 401 of the measured reverse-type lead screw pair. The inner wall of the turntable 206 is designed with an axial positioning step and a circumferential keyway, which can accurately and firmly fix the nut 401 inside the turntable 206, so that it can only rotate synchronously with the turntable 206 and cannot produce axial movement.

[0042] A slip ring 207 is mounted on the main shaft 203. The rotor portion of the slip ring 207 rotates together with the main shaft 203, and its lead wire is connected to the signal cable of the flange-type torque sensor 205. The stator portion of the slip ring 207 is fixed to the main body 1 of the test bench by a bracket, and its lead wire is connected to the data acquisition controller 503. Through the slip ring 207, stable and continuous transmission of sensor signals between the rotating parts and the stationary equipment is achieved.

[0043] The test bench also includes a loading system, which is set on both sides of the main body 1 of the test bench. The loading system includes a second servo motor 302, a synchronous belt drive mechanism, two loading screw pairs 301 and a loading plate 304. The output shaft of the second servo motor 302 is synchronously connected to the upper end of the two loading screw pairs 301 through the synchronous belt drive mechanism. The two sides of the loading plate 304 are fixedly connected to the nuts of the two loading screw pairs 301 respectively, and the two ends of the loading plate 304 are slidably engaged with the vertical guide rail 101 set on the main body 1 of the test bench.

[0044] In this embodiment, the loading screw pair 301 is a high-precision ball screw pair. The upper end of the screw is fixedly connected to the top crossbeam of the main body 1 of the test bench through a set of double-row angular contact bearings 204, forming a fixed end to bear axial load and ensure positioning accuracy. The lower end of the screw 402 is connected to the bottom crossbeam of the main body 1 of the test bench through a deep groove ball bearing, forming a floating end, allowing the screw 402 to extend freely downward during thermal expansion, avoiding additional stress.

[0045] The second servo motor 302 is mounted on one side of the top crossbeam of the main body 1 of the test bench. The synchronous belt drive mechanism consists of a driving small pulley 3031, two driven large pulleys 3032, and a tension pulley 3033. The driving small pulley 3031 is mounted on the output shaft of the second servo motor 302. The two driven large pulleys 3032 are respectively fixed to the upper end of the lead screws of the two side loading lead screw pairs 301 by keys. A high-strength synchronous belt passes sequentially around the driving small pulley 3031, one driven large pulley 3032, the tension pulley 3033, and the other driven large pulley 3032, forming a closed loop. The tension pulley 3033 is mounted on an adjustable slide. By adjusting the position of the slide, the tension of the synchronous belt can be changed to ensure the accuracy and synchronization of the transmission and avoid slippage.

[0046] The loading plate 304 is a rectangular thick steel plate, with its two ends slidingly engaged with the vertical guide rail 101 on the main body of the frame via linear guide sliders. The two sides of the loading plate 304 are fixedly connected to the nuts of two loading lead screw pairs 301 via nut seats. When the second servo motor 302 drives the two lead screws to rotate synchronously, the two nuts cause the loading plate 304 to move smoothly up and down along the vertical guide rail 101.

[0047] The test system 5 also includes a data acquisition controller 503, which is electrically connected to the first servo motor 201, the second servo motor 302, the flange torque sensor 205, the tension and compression sensor 501, and the grating ruler 502. The data acquisition controller 503 is used to calculate and output the transmission efficiency of the tested reverse lead screw pair.

[0048] The data acquisition controller 503 calculates the input power based on the input torque collected by the flange torque sensor 205 and the speed of the first servo motor 201, calculates the output power based on the total load force collected by the tension and compression sensor 501 and the moving speed of the measured reverse screw pair collected by the grating ruler 502, and calculates the ratio of the output power to the input power as the transmission efficiency.

[0049] The data acquisition controller 503 employs a high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) or industrial computer, and integrates an analog input module, a high-speed counter module, and a motion control module. The data acquisition controller 503 connects to the drivers of the first servo motor 201 and the second servo motor 302 via the motion control module to achieve the setting and control of speed and torque. The torque signal T from the flange-type torque sensor 205 is acquired through the analog input module. in The system collects force signals F from three tension and compression sensors 501. Displacement pulse signals from the grating ruler 502 are acquired via a high-speed counter module to calculate velocity v. Simultaneously, the rotational speed n of the first servo motor 201 is read via a communication protocol. in .

[0050] The data acquisition controller 503 has an embedded data processing program that performs the following calculations in real time:

[0051] Input power P in =(T in ×n in ) / 9550;

[0052] Output power P out =F×v;

[0053] Transmission efficiency η=(P out / P in )×100%;

[0054] Where, n in For the driver of the first servo motor 201, the speed feedback is P in The unit is kW, T in The unit is Nm, n in The unit is rpm, P out The unit is kW, F is kN, and v is m / s.

[0055] Test results are displayed in real time on the human-machine interface and automatically stored in the database, supporting historical data query and curve plotting.

[0056] The XY direction slide 3052 consists of two sets of cross-roller guide slides. It provides minute movements in the mutually perpendicular X and Y directions to compensate for alignment deviations between the drive system and the loading system. By eliminating additional bending moments through a vertical structure, reducing installation accuracy requirements through an automatic alignment mechanism, and improving input power accuracy through optimized torque measurement positions, it achieves high-precision and high-reliability testing of the transmission efficiency of the reverse-type lead screw pair under test.

[0057] The method of using the reverse lead screw pair transmission efficiency test bench described in this embodiment includes: Step 1, installation and alignment: The nut 401 of the reverse lead screw pair to be tested is fixed in the turntable 206 using a positioning fixture; the tail end of the lead screw 402 is passed through the tensioning device 3053, and the XY direction slide 3052 is adjusted so that the axis of the lead screw 402 naturally coincides with the axis of the nut 401, and then the tensioning device 3053 is locked; this step eliminates installation eccentricity through the automatic alignment mechanism. Step 2, parameter setting and start: The target speed of the first servo motor 201 (i.e., the input speed of the reverse lead screw pair to be tested) and the target torque or speed of the second servo motor 302 (i.e., the set load force) are set on the data acquisition controller 503, and the test program is started. Step 3, Loading and Driving: The first servo motor 201 starts, driving the turntable 206 and nut 401 to rotate via the spindle 203 and flange torque sensor 205; according to the screw drive principle, the screw 402 tends to move axially; simultaneously, the second servo motor 302 starts, driving the two loading screw pairs 301 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt drive mechanism, causing the loading plate 304 to move downwards, and applying an axial load force opposite to the direction of movement to the screw 402 through the automatic centering mechanism. Step 4, Data Acquisition and Calculation: Throughout the entire movement process, the flange torque sensor 205 collects the input torque T in real time. in The driver of the first servo motor 201 provides feedback on the rotational speed n. in Three tension and compression sensors 501 collect the total load force F, and the grating ruler 502 collects the lead screw movement speed v. The data acquisition controller synchronously collects all signals and calculates the input power, output power, and transmission efficiency in real time according to the aforementioned formula. Step 5, multi-condition testing: By changing the speed of the first servo motor 201 and the loading force of the second servo motor 302, the transmission efficiency spectrum of the tested reverse lead screw pair under different speeds and load conditions can be measured, providing comprehensive data support for product performance evaluation and optimization design.
