The design of the bearing fatigue life tester comprehensively considers the improvement requirements for the existing technology proposed in the background technology, especially the optimization for adaptability and cost control; through the coordinated use of the cylinder 31 and the motor 32, efficient and accurate testing of the bearing 6 to be tested can be achieved, and at the same time, the design of the applying mechanism 7 enables the equipment to fix and test bearings of different specifications, thereby improving the adaptability and testing efficiency of the equipment.

[0036] See also Figure 2-3 , a limiting ring 12 is arranged at the center of the upper end surface of the bottom plate 1, and the base 4 is located in the limiting ring 12; the shape of the base 4 is set to be a truncated cone, and a plug-in slot 41 is opened at the center of the top of the base 4, and a positioning slot 42 is opened on the outside of the base 4, and the positioning slots 42 are evenly spaced around the central axis of the base 4. This design not only enhances the structural stability of the bearing fatigue life tester, but also realizes the precise positioning and fixation of the bearing 6 to be tested through the cooperation between the positioning slot 42 and the positioning plate 52 of the top seat 5, ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of the test process.

[0037] See also Figure 3-4 The top seat 5 is set in a conical shape, and the outer side of the top seat 5 is evenly spaced around the central axis, and the positioning plates 52 correspond to the positioning grooves 42; the positioning plate 53 is movably connected to the positioning plate 52, and the upper end surface of the lower pressing plate 53 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the positioning column 531, and the positioning column 531 is sleeved with a spring 54; the upper end surface of the positioning plate 52 is penetrated by a through hole 521 corresponding to the positioning column 531.

[0043] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0044] When in use, the bearing 6 to be tested is sleeved on the base 4, and then the top seat 5 is driven downward by the cylinder 31. As the height of the top seat 5 is gradually reduced, the bottom of the top seat 5 is inserted into the insertion groove 41, and at the same time, the lower pressing plate 53 is deeply inserted into the positioning groove 42;

[0045] When the height of the top seat 5 is further lowered, the top of the base 4 will be expanded outward, thereby fixing the inner ring of the bearing 6, and as the lower pressure plate 53 contacts the edge of the bearing, the bearing 6 can be placed horizontally during the test, and then the handle 73 is rotated. As the handle 73 rotates, the friction plate 71 will approach the outer ring of the bearing 6, and the outer ring of the bearing can be clamped and fixed by the relatively arranged application mechanism 7;

[0046] With the cooperation between the base 4 and the top seat 5, bearings 6 of different sizes can be fixed, and at the same time, under the action of the lower pressure plate 53, the fixed bearings can be placed more stably;

[0047] After the bearing 6 is fixed, the motor 32 is used to drive the top seat 5 to rotate, thereby driving the bearing 6 to rotate, and performing an anti-fatigue test on it.

[0048] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for ordinary technicians in the technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
