[0025] Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a test device for measuring the static stiffness of a turbine support shock absorber includes:

[0026] A rigid platform 1; a support seat 2 disposed on the rigid platform 1, and a turbine support shock absorber connection structure is provided at one end of the support seat 2;

[0027] A bearing bushing 3 for being installed inside the turbine support shock absorber 100. The bearing bushing 3 is fixed to the turbine support shock absorber 100 through a compression nut 12, and a bearing 4 is provided in the inner hole of the bearing bushing 3; the outer diameter of the bearing bushing 3 is the same as the outer diameter of the cylindrical roller bearing on the engine;

[0028] A journal 5 is inserted through and fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing 4;

[0029] A loading device 6 is connected to the journal 5 and is used to apply a load to the journal 5;

[0030] A dial indicator 7 is disposed at a position directly above and / or directly below the turbine support shock absorber 100.

[0031] The test device fixes the turbine support shock absorber 100 by using the support seat 2 installed on the rigid platform 1; uses the bearing bush 3 and the bearing 4 to replace the cylindrical roller bearing on the engine. The bearing bush 3 and the bearing 4 are in interference fit so that they can bear a certain axial force, and the journal 5 provided on the bearing 4 can rotate freely, always ensuring that the acting direction of the load applied by the loading device 6 is in the vertical direction. The stress mode of the turbine support shock absorber in the engine is simulated on this test device. The displacement amount directly above and / or directly below the turbine support shock absorber 100 can be measured by the dial indicator 7 to represent its deformation, and then the stiffness change curve of the turbine support shock absorber 100 can be obtained according to the stiffness formula K = P / δp (where P is the magnitude of the acting force and δp is the deformation caused by the force P). This test device ensures the consistency of the test stress and the stress position on the engine, so as to obtain the static stiffness of the turbine support shock absorber 100.

[0032] Combined with Figure 3 As shown, the connection structure of the turbine support shock absorber on the support seat 2 includes an insertion part 201 and an annular ear plate 202 provided on the insertion part 201; stud holes 203 are evenly arranged on the annular ear plate 202; the insertion part 201 is inserted into the inner hole of the turbine support shock absorber 100, and the end of the turbine support shock absorber 100 is fixed to the annular ear plate 202 through a stud assembly. The stud assembly includes a stud 9, a lock washer 10 and a nut 11. When the turbine support shock absorber 100 is installed, the insertion part 201 is directly inserted into the inner hole at the right end of the turbine support shock absorber 100, so that the right end face of the turbine support shock absorber 100 abuts against the annular ear plate 202 and then is fixed by the stud 9, the lock washer 10 and the nut 11, and the installation is simple and convenient.

[0033] Combined with Figure 1As shown, the support base 2 is mounted on the rigid platform 1 through the support frame 8; the support frame 8 includes a bottom plate 801 and a vertical plate 802 vertically welded to the bottom plate 801; through holes 804 are provided on the bottom plate 801 for screw connection with the rigid platform 1; the support base 2 passes through the vertical plate 802 and is welded. The bottom plate 801 is screwed to the rigid platform 1, which facilitates the replacement of different support frames 8 and support bases 2. Further, a reinforcing rib plate 803 is provided between the vertical plate 802 and the bottom plate 801 to strengthen the vertical plate 802, ensure the stiffness of the vertical plate 802, and prevent the loading device 6 from bending and deforming during the loading process. Further, the number of the vertical plates 802 is two, one of which supports at the end position of the support base 2, and the other supports at the middle position of the support base 2. By providing two vertical plates 802, when the loading device 6 is loading, from the analysis of the force condition, it can be seen that the vertical plate 802 arranged at the middle position of the support base 2 can play a fulcrum role, and the vertical plate 802 arranged at the end position exerts a downward force on the support base 2. Therefore, setting two vertical plates 802 can better make the support base 2 bear force evenly.

[0034] Combined with Figure 4 As shown, the journal 5 includes a first shaft section 510, a second shaft section 520, and an annular baffle 530 located between the first shaft end 510 and the second shaft section 520; the first shaft section 510, the second shaft section 520 and the annular baffle 530 are integrally formed; a first external thread section 511 and a loading device mounting portion 512 are provided on the first shaft section 510, the loading device 6 is mounted on the loading device mounting portion 512, and abuts against the end face of the annular baffle 530 and is locked by a nut provided on the first external thread section 511; a bearing mounting portion 521 and a second external thread section 522 are provided on the second shaft section 520; the inner ring of the bearing 4 is mounted on the bearing mounting portion 521 and is locked by a nut provided on the second external thread section 522. Further, a retaining ring 523 is provided at the root position between the second shaft section 520 and the annular baffle 530; the inner ring of the bearing 4 abuts against the retaining ring 523, and the diameter of the retaining ring 523 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the inner ring of the bearing 4.

[0035] Combined with Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bearing 4 is installed in the inner hole of the bearing bushing 3 by interference fit, and a limiting ring 301 is provided at the orifice position of the inner hole of the bearing bushing 3 close to the loading device 6; the outer ring of the bearing 4 abuts against the limiting ring 301.

[0036] Combined with Figure 1As shown, the loading device 6 includes a heavy object hook 601, a weight support plate 602, and weights 603. The heavy object hook 601 has an "L" shape structure composed of a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The vertical plate is connected to the journal 5 and abuts against the annular baffle 530 of the journal 5, which can prevent the vertical plate from flipping. The horizontal plate is connected to the weight support plate 602 through a double-headed screw 604. The weights 603 are placed on the weight support plate 602. The journal 5, the compression nut 12, the heavy object hook 601, the double-headed screw 604, the weight support plate 602, and the weights 603 are mainly used for the application and transmission of loads.

[0037] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the dial indicator 7 is arranged at a position corresponding to the bearing bush 3 and is located directly above and / or directly below the turbine support shock absorber 100. Since the force application point of the turbine support shock absorber 100 is at the position of the bearing bush 3, the dial indicator 7 is arranged at a position corresponding to the bearing bush 3 to facilitate measuring the deformation of the turbine support shock absorber 100 and thus obtaining the stiffness change curve.

[0038] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made using the description and drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
