Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bearing testing machines, and particularly to a testing device for a spherical rod end spherical plain bearing. Background Art

[0002] A testing machine for a spherical rod end spherical plain bearing is used to simulate the actual load spectrum and rotational speed spectrum conditions of a spherical rod end spherical plain bearing by a computer, conduct tests, and evaluate its various performances. It is a fatigue life test for the axial, radial loads, and torque received by the continuous rotation of the fixed rod end during the test, and the torque received by the spherical rod end during the swinging process.

[0003] Currently, the functions of the testing machines are single, and they cannot perform multi-faceted detection tests. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a testing device for a spherical rod end spherical plain bearing.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows:

[0006] A testing device for a spherical rod end spherical plain bearing, comprising: a test main body, the test main body including a loading system, a swinging system, a rotating system, and a connecting disk. The ROTATION end and TIP end of the spherical rod end spherical plain bearing are arranged in the connecting disk.

[0007] The loading system consists of an axial loading mechanism and a radial loading mechanism. The axial loading mechanism and the radial loading mechanism are connected to the connecting disk. The axial loading mechanism is sequentially composed of an axial servo oil cylinder, a connecting head I, a supporting mechanism I, a linear guide rail, a cross universal joint, a connecting head II, and a force sensor. The supporting mechanism I is installed on the linear guide rail. The radial loading mechanism is sequentially composed of a radial servo oil cylinder, the connecting head I, a supporting mechanism II, the cross universal joint, the connecting head II, and the force sensor. Both of the two force sensors are connected to the connecting disk through a connecting head III.

[0008] The swinging system consists of a cam roller mechanism, a coupling shaft, a supporting shaft sleeve, the force sensor, a bearing seat, a chute, and a slider. The cam roller mechanism is connected to one end of the coupling shaft. The supporting shaft sleeve is further arranged outside the coupling shaft. The other end of the coupling shaft is connected to the bearing seat through the force sensor. A plurality of springs are further arranged between the bearing seat and the supporting shaft sleeve. A bearing is arranged in the bearing seat. A bearing outer sleeve is installed on the bearing. The output end of the bearing outer sleeve is connected to the chute. A slide rail is arranged in the chute. The slider is arranged on the slide rail. The other end of the chute is connected to the TIP end of the spherical rod end spherical plain bearing.

[0009] The rotation system is composed of the ROTATION end of the spherical rod end joint bearing, which is sequentially connected through the connecting disc, the cross universal joint, the torque sensor, the support mechanism, the link mechanism, and the motor. The link mechanism includes discs with different diameters.

[0010] The ROTATION end of the spherical rod end joint bearing bears the axial load and radial load applied by the loading system.

[0011] A water tank is also provided outside the ROTATION end of the spherical rod end joint bearing. A water supply mechanism is also provided in the rotation system, and the water supply mechanism is communicated with the inside of the connecting disc.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] 1. The present invention adopts a "cross type" structure for the fatigue life test of the axial, radial loads, and torques suffered by the continuously rotating fixed end of the test rod and the torque suffered by the spherical rod end during the swinging process.

[0014] 2. An axial and radial loading system is used to load the end of the spherical rod end joint bearing. This loading system has a large power, high precision, and fast response speed.

[0015] 3. In the swinging system, a sliding rail that can slide is provided in the chute. During the swinging process of the TIP end of the spherical rod end joint bearing, there will be adjustments in position and angle. The bearing outer sleeve and the bearing are tightly fitted. As the bearing linearly displaces, the bearing outer sleeve will have an angle. The TIP end is rigidly connected to the bearing outer sleeve. During the process of angle change, the middle sliding rail will compensate for the magnitude of the displacement, so there will be no dead point during the swinging process.

[0016] 4. In the rotation system, a cycloidal pinwheel reducer is used, and it is connected to a 2.2KW three-phase asynchronous motor. The motor speed is 2840r / min, and the output speed after passing through the reducer is 258.r / min, which is 4.3 r per second. The ratio of the disc connected to the link mechanism and the equipment to the disc connected to the reducer is 1.15. Therefore, when the disc connected to the reducer rotates 4.3r, the equipment will swing 3.7r. So 3HZ can be achieved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Both force sensors 7-7 are connected to the connecting disk 4 through a connecting head 9. A movable degree of freedom is reserved between the above-mentioned connecting parts, so that the interference on the spherical rod end joint bearing is reduced to the minimum. The loading system 1 controls the output oil pressure of the servo valve by using the PID control principle;

[0026] The TIP end 6 of the spherical rod end joint bearing performs a swinging motion through the swinging system 2. The swinging system 2 consists of a cam roller mechanism 10, a coupling shaft 11, a support bushing 12, a force sensor 7-7, a bearing housing 13, a chute 14, and a slider 15. The cam roller mechanism 10 is connected to one end of the coupling shaft 11. A support bushing 12 is also provided outside the coupling shaft 11. The other end of the coupling shaft 11 is connected to the bearing housing 13 through the force sensor 7-7.

The bearing outer sleeve 18 and the bearing 17 are closely fitted. The bearing outer sleeve 18 will have an angle as the bearing 17 linearly displaces. The TIP end 6 is rigidly connected to the bearing outer sleeve 18. During the process of angle change, the middle slide rail will compensate for the magnitude of the displacement. Therefore, there will be no dead points during the swinging process.

The disk one 211 is connected to the support mechanism 20, and the disk two 212 is connected to a reducer. The disk one 211 and the disk two 212 are connected by a connecting rod. When the disk two 212 rotates one circle, the disk one 211 will rotate by an angle accordingly, and the ROTATION end 5 will also change and rotate by an angle. A water tank 23 is also provided outside the ROTATION end 5 of the spherical rod end joint bearing. A water supply mechanism 24 is also provided in the rotation system 3.

The ratio of the disk connected to the connecting rod mechanism of the equipment to the disk connected to the reducer is 1.15. Therefore, when the disk connected to the reducer rotates 4.3 r, the equipment will swing 3.7 r. So 3HZ can be achieved.
