[0018] The following embodiments are further explanations and supplements to the present invention and do not constitute any limitation to the present invention.

[0019] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the high-precision fatigue test tooling of the present invention includes a single-ear part 10, a double-ear part 20, a distance adjustment block 30, a fixed block 40, and a bolt fastening assembly 50. The single-ear part 10 and the double-ear part 20 are inserted, and they are respectively provided with a first shaft hole 13 and a second shaft hole 23 that can coaxially insert a locking pin 60. The single-ear part 10 and the double-ear part 20 are rotationally connected through the locking pin 60, which is used to simulate two parts connected by the locking pin 60 during actual use to simulate actual applications; the distance adjustment block 30 is used to adapt to the actual use conditions of the part to be tested, and it is a replaceable accessory that can be selected with different sizes to meet the test requirements of different parts; the fixed block 40 is used to cooperate with the distance adjustment block 30 to limit the part to be tested to prevent axial movement and detachment of the part to be tested.

[0020] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the double-ear part 20 includes a second threaded connection part 21 and double-ear parts 22. The second threaded connection part 21 and the double-ear parts 22 are integrally formed or integrally connected. In this embodiment, the second threaded connection part 21 and the double-ear parts 22 are integrally formed. An external thread is provided on the second threaded connection part 21, which is used for threaded connection with an existing fatigue testing machine to install the double-ear part 20 onto the existing fatigue testing machine. The double-ear parts 22 are formed on the end surface of the second threaded connection part 21 and extend along the axial direction of the second threaded connection part 21. The double-ear parts 22 include a first ear part 221 and a second ear part 222. The first ear part 221 and the second ear part 222 are parallel and spaced apart, and an insertion space 223 for inserting the single-ear part 10 is formed therebetween. The distance between the first ear part 221 and the second ear part 222 can be set as required. In this embodiment, the first ear part 221 and the second ear part 222 are in a flat plate shape, parallel to the axial direction of the second threaded connection part 21; and the first ear part 221 and the second ear part 222 are evenly offset on both sides of the axis of the second threaded connection part 21. Second shaft holes 23 are respectively provided on the double-ear parts 22, that is, the first ear part 221 and the second ear part 222. The second shaft holes 23 are used for inserting the part to be tested, that is, the lock pin 60. The second shaft holes 23 are perpendicular to the axial direction of the second threaded connection part 21. The size of the second shaft holes 23 can be set according to the size of the part to be tested. The position of the second shaft holes 23 can be set as required. In this embodiment, the second shaft holes 23 are provided at the central positions of the first ear part 221 and the second ear part 222.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the single-ear part 10 includes a first threaded connection part 11 and a single-ear part 12. The first threaded connection part 11 and the single-ear part 12 are integrally formed or integrally connected. In this embodiment, the first threaded connection part 11 and the single-ear part 12 are integrally formed. An external thread is provided on the first threaded connection part 11, which is used for threaded connection with an existing fatigue testing machine to install the single-ear part 10 onto the existing fatigue testing machine. The single-ear part 12 is formed on the end surface of the first threaded connection part 11 and extends along the axial direction of the first threaded connection part 11. The single-ear part 12 is centered on the end surface of the first threaded connection part 11. The thickness of the single-ear part 12 should not be greater than the distance between the double-ear parts 22, that is, the first ear part 221 and the second ear part 222. A first shaft hole 13 is provided on the single-ear part 12. The first shaft hole 13 is used for inserting the part to be tested, that is, the lock pin 60. The first shaft hole 13 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the first threaded connection part 11. The size of the first shaft hole 13 can be set according to the size of the part to be tested. In this embodiment, the size of the first shaft hole 13 is the same as the size of the second shaft hole 23.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, when the single ear part 12 of the single ear part 10 is inserted into the insertion space 223 of the double ear part 20, the first shaft hole 13 can be aligned with the second shaft hole 23, and the first threaded connection part 11 and the second threaded connection part 21 are in a coaxial state, so that the part to be tested, the locking pin 60, can be inserted into the first shaft hole 13 and the second shaft hole 23 for fatigue testing.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in order to adapt to the working condition test requirements under different usage conditions, a detachable distance adjustment block 30 is provided on the double ear part 20.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the distance adjustment block 30 is in a block shape, and its specific shape is not limited. A third shaft hole 31 is provided on the distance adjustment block 30; the third shaft hole 31 is used to insert the part to be tested, the locking pin 60. The size of the third shaft hole 31 can be set according to the size of the part to be tested. In this embodiment, the size of the third shaft hole 31 is the same as the size of the second shaft hole 23.

[0025] During the actual use of the locking pin 60 of the tail beam folding locking device, when it extends to the maximum length, its convex edge 61 will fit with the washer, and the washer will be spaced from the part to be connected. Therefore, to simulate this actual working condition, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, a distance adjustment groove 32 is provided on one side surface of the distance adjustment block 30. The distance adjustment groove 32 is recessed on one side surface of the distance adjustment block 30. It is a straight through groove that penetrates both ends of the distance adjustment block 30 and communicates with the third shaft hole 31. The third shaft hole 31 is located in the center of the distance adjustment groove 32. The depth of the distance adjustment groove 32 is set according to the distance between the washer and the part to be connected; the thickness of the distance adjustment block 30 is set according to the actual distance between the convex edge 61 and the part to be connected at the most extreme position. For different models of tail beam folding locking devices, the thickness of the distance adjustment block 30 and the depth of the distance adjustment groove 32 may be different, and they are set according to the corresponding model of the locking pin 60. When testing different models of locking pins 60, a distance adjustment block 30 with a corresponding size needs to be selected for installation.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in order to limit the axial movement of the part to be tested, the locking pin 60, along the first shaft hole 13 and the second shaft hole 23 for convenient testing, a limiting groove 33 is provided on the side of the distance adjustment block 30 opposite to the distance adjustment groove 32, and a coverable fixing block 40 is provided at the limiting groove 33.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the limiting groove 33 is an annular groove, which is recessed on the surface of the distance adjusting block 30 opposite to the distance adjusting groove 32 and communicates with the third shaft hole 31. In other words, the limiting groove 33 and the distance adjusting groove 32 are respectively located on the opposite side surfaces of the distance adjusting block 30 and both communicate with the third shaft hole 31. The limiting groove 33 and the third shaft hole 31 form a stepped hole, which can limit the axial movement of the locking pin 60 along the direction of the double-ear member 20. The depth of the limiting groove 33 is consistent with the thickness of the convex edge 61 of the locking pin 60; when the locking pin 60 is inserted into the third shaft hole 31, the convex edge 61 of the locking pin 60 is embedded in the limiting groove 33, and the surface of the convex edge 61 is flush with the surface of the distance adjusting block 30.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the fixing block 40 is used to cover the limiting groove 33 to limit the axial movement of the locking pin 60. The fixing block 40 is plate-shaped and its specific shape is not limited. The outer dimension of the fixing block 40 should be larger than the dimension of the limiting groove 33, so that it can cover the surface of the distance adjusting block 30 to limit the convex edge 61 in the limiting groove 33 and prevent it from moving. A through hole 41 for passing the locking pin 60 is provided on the fixing block 40, and the size of the through hole 41 should be such that the locking pin 60 can pass through it easily, but the convex edge 61 of the locking pin 60 cannot pass through it. In this embodiment, the through hole 41 is a U-shaped hole, which is conducive to alignment and installation.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, for facilitating the disassembly and assembly for fatigue tests of different parts to be tested, the distance adjusting block 30 and the fixing block 40 are detachably assembled on the second ear part 222 of the double-ear member 20 through a bolt fastening assembly 50. The bolt fastening assembly 50 includes a bolt 51, a gasket 52 and a self-locking nut 53. The bolt 51 is a headless bolt and is provided with an external thread. The washer 52 can be sleeved on the bolt 51, and the self-locking nut 53 can be threadedly connected to the bolt 51.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, for facilitating disassembly and installation, a plurality of internal threaded holes 24 are provided on the double-ear part 22 for threadedly connecting the bolt 51. A plurality of first bolt mounting holes 34 are provided on the distance adjusting block 30, and a plurality of second bolt mounting holes 42 are provided on the fixing block 40. The first bolt mounting holes 34 and the second bolt mounting holes 42 are through holes without threads. The internal threaded holes 24 are distributed around the second shaft hole 23, the first bolt mounting holes 34 are distributed around the third shaft hole 31, and the second bolt mounting holes 42 are distributed around the through hole 41. In this embodiment, the first bolt mounting holes 34 are provided on the second ear part 222 and are parallel to the second shaft hole 23.

[0031] AsFigures 1 to 3 As shown, during assembly, the bolt 51 can sequentially pass through the second bolt mounting hole 42 and the first bolt mounting hole 34 and be threadedly connected to the internal thread hole 24. Thereafter, the gasket 52 and the self-locking nut 53 are respectively connected to the end of the bolt 51, and then the distance adjusting block 30 and the fixing block 40 can be detachably assembled on the second ear 222 of the double-ear part 20, so that the second shaft hole 23 and the third shaft hole 31 are coaxial.

[0032] Thereby, the high-precision fatigue test tooling of the present invention is formed. During use, the single-ear part 10 and the double-ear part 20 are respectively installed on the fatigue testing machine to ensure that the first shaft hole 13 and the second shaft hole 23 are aligned; thereafter, the distance adjusting block 30 is sleeved on the pin 60 to be tested, and then the pin 60 is inserted into the first shaft hole 13 and the second shaft hole 23, so that the distance adjusting groove 32 of the distance adjusting block 30 faces the double-ear part 20, and the convex edge 61 of the pin 60 is embedded in the limit groove 33 of the distance adjusting block 30; subsequently, the convex edge 61 of the pin 60 is clamped by the fixing block 40, the bolt fastening assembly 50 is installed, and the fixing block 40, the distance adjusting block 30 and the double-ear part 20 are fastened together to ensure that the pin 60 cannot move axially. After the installation is completed, the fatigue testing machine can be started for fatigue testing; when the test is completed, the bolt fastening assembly 50 is loosened, and then the pin 60, the fixing block 40 and the distance adjusting block 30 can be removed, and then a suitable distance adjusting block 30 is selected for the test of the next part to be tested.

[0033] The high-precision fatigue test tooling of the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to install. It is easy to position and install the pin 60 of the tail beam folding locking device, thus facilitating fatigue testing. The present invention can use the distance adjusting block 30 to fit different working conditions of the pin 60 during actual use. For different working conditions in different use cases, distance adjusting blocks 30 of different sizes can be selected for testing, so it can greatly improve the accuracy of fatigue testing.

[0034] Although the present invention is disclosed through the above embodiments, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above components can be replaced by similar or equivalent components known to those skilled in the art.
