[0001] This invention mainly relates to the field of wear fatigue testing technology for fixed frame vehicle engine guide seats, and specifically refers to a wear fatigue testing device for fixed frame vehicle engine guide seats. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of urban rail trains, a lifting jack is needed to raise the multi-million dollar car body to a predetermined height before undercarriage assembly. Fixed lifting jacks are special-purpose lifting equipment, and their guide seats are critical load-bearing components. Existing fixed lifting jack guide seats, due to their large load-bearing capacity and size, are prone to wear during jack preparation and lifting operations. This leads to frequent abnormal noises from the lifting jack and accelerates its damage. If fatigue damage occurs, it can affect the lifting jack's operational functions, or even cause serious accidents such as jack collapse, vehicle collapse, and personal injury. Therefore, designing a wear fatigue testing device for fixed lifting jack guide seats to test the fatigue life of the lifting jack is a technical problem urgently needing to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A wear fatigue testing device for a fixed car jack guide seat includes a test bench, a test chamber, and a drive mechanism. The test bench includes an upper cover plate, a lower base plate, and multiple support columns connecting the upper cover plate and the lower base plate. The multiple support columns form a cavity for accommodating the test chamber. The upper cover plate has a first through hole for accommodating the drive mechanism, and the lower base plate has a first groove for accommodating the guide seat. The test chamber has second through holes at the top and bottom. Pressure rollers are installed on both sides of the test chamber. The pressure rollers are used to press against the outer surface of the lifting column of the guide seat. The drive mechanism is used to drive the guide seat to move up and down through the second through hole. When the guide seat moves up and down, the friction force drives the pressure rollers to rotate to simulate the real working environment and measure the service life of the car jack guide seat.

[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention: the driving mechanism includes a drive motor, a gear shaft, a rack shaft and a connecting disk. The gear shaft and the rack shaft mesh with each other. The connecting disk is located at the bottom of the rack shaft and is used to connect to the guide seat to be tested. The drive motor is connected to the gear shaft and is used to drive the gear shaft to rotate, thereby driving the rack shaft to move up and down.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention: the driving mechanism further includes a driving box, the driving box is installed in the first through hole, the upper top wall and lower bottom wall of the driving box are provided with a first circular hole for the rack shaft to pass through, the side wall of the driving box is provided with a second circular hole, the driving motor is connected to the driving box, and the gear shaft passes through the second circular hole and is connected to the output end of the driving motor.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention: the axes of the two first circular holes are located on the same vertical line, and the inner rings of the two first circular holes are connected to linear bearings. The bottom end of the rack shaft passes through the linear bearing and the second through hole in the drive box in sequence and extends into the interior of the test chamber.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, two sliding grooves are symmetrically provided on the lower base plate of the test bench.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention: both sides of the bottom plate of the test chamber are provided with sliding pins, and the sliding pins are slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention: the test chamber includes a test chamber shell, and four pairs of axially symmetrical guide shaft covers are connected to the front and rear side walls of the test chamber shell. Each pair of guide shaft covers is arranged on the same horizontal axis, and an intermediate shaft is provided between each pair of guide shaft covers. The two ends of the intermediate shaft are fixedly connected to the guide shaft covers. Cylindrical bearings are also provided at both ends of the intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft is connected to the inner ring of the cylindrical bearing, and the pressure roller is arranged on the outer ring of the cylindrical bearing.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention: a spacer sleeve is fitted into the middle part of the intermediate shaft.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the pressure rollers are eight in number.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] The wear and fatigue testing device for the guide seat of the fixed frame vehicle assembly of the present invention has the following characteristics: During the test, the drive mechanism can perform alternating forward and reverse rotation, driving the guide seat to reciprocate up and down inside the test chamber. Pressure rollers are provided on both sides of the test chamber, and the pressure rollers are in close contact with the outer wall of the guide seat. While the guide seat moves, the pressure rollers are driven to rotate by friction.

This device can simulate the working state of the guide seat of the fixed frame vehicle assembly under real working conditions. The frictional damage between the lifting column of the guide seat and the pressure roller will lead to a reduction in the fatigue life of the entire mechanism. The life measurement of this device is to record the total number of relative movements between the lifting column of the guide seat and the pressure roller. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a wear fatigue testing device for a fixed car frame guide seat, including a test bench 1, a test chamber 2, and a drive mechanism 4. The test bench 1 includes an upper cover plate 101, a lower base plate 102, and multiple support columns 103 connecting the upper cover plate 101 and the lower base plate 102. The multiple support columns 103 form a cavity for accommodating the test chamber 2. The upper cover plate 101 has a first through hole 5 for accommodating the drive mechanism 4, and the lower base plate 102 has a first groove 6 for accommodating the guide seat 3. The test chamber 2 has second through holes 7 at the top and bottom. Pressure rollers 8 are installed on both sides of the test chamber 2. The pressure rollers 8 are used to press against the outer surface of the lifting column of the guide seat 3. The drive mechanism 4 is used to drive the guide seat 3 to move up and down through the second through hole 7. When the guide seat 3 moves up and down, the pressure rollers 8 are rotated by friction to simulate the real working environment and measure the service life of the car frame guide seat 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, the wear fatigue testing device for the guide seat of the fixed frame vehicle assembly has a drive mechanism that can perform alternating forward and reverse rotation during the test, causing the guide seat to reciprocate up and down inside the test chamber. Pressure rollers are provided on both sides of the test chamber, and the pressure rollers are in close contact with the outer wall of the lifting column of the guide seat. While the guide seat moves, the pressure rollers are driven to rotate by friction. The friction between the pressure rollers and the lifting column of the guide seat will cause wear on the entire guide seat, and its fatigue life can be tested. This device can simulate the working state of the guide seat of the fixed frame vehicle assembly under real working conditions. Friction damage between the lifting column and the pressure rollers will lead to a reduction in the fatigue life of the entire mechanism. The life measurement of this device is to record the total number of relative movements between the lifting column and the pressure rollers.

[0028] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 41, a gear shaft 42, a rack shaft 43, and a connecting disk 44. The gear shaft 42 and the rack shaft 43 mesh with each other. The connecting disk 44 is located at the bottom of the rack shaft 43 and is used to connect to the guide seat 3 to be tested. The drive motor 41 is connected to the gear shaft 42 and is used to drive the gear shaft 42 to rotate, thereby driving the rack shaft 43 to move up and down. The meshing of the gear shaft 42 and the rack shaft 43 and their reciprocating motion improves the operating efficiency and enhances the stability of operation. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the connecting disk 44 and the guide seat 3 are connected by a thread.

[0029] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 4 also includes a drive box 45, which is installed in the first through hole 5. The upper top wall and lower bottom wall of the drive box 45 are provided with first circular holes for the rack shaft 43 to pass through. The side wall of the drive box 45 is provided with a second circular hole. The drive motor 41 is connected to the drive box 45, and the gear shaft 42 passes through the second circular hole and is connected to the output end of the drive motor 41.

[0030] In this embodiment, the axes of the two first circular holes are located on the same vertical line, and the inner rings of the two first circular holes are connected to linear bearings 9. The bottom end of the rack shaft 43 passes through the linear bearing 9 and the second through hole 7 in the drive box 45 and extends into the test chamber 2. By setting the linear bearing 9, the friction on the rack shaft 43 can be effectively reduced, the smoothness of the mechanism operation can be improved, and the service life of the rack shaft 43 can be increased.

[0031] In this embodiment, two symmetrical sliding grooves 10 are formed on the lower base plate 102 of the test bench 1, and sliding pins 11 are provided on both sides of the lower base plate of the test chamber 2. The sliding pins 11 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 10. Further, in a preferred embodiment, the number of sliding pins 11 on both sides of the lower base plate of the test chamber 2 is not less than three. When using this device for testing, the guide seat 3 may move back and forth perpendicular to the direction of movement during the operation of the mechanism. The sliding connection between the sliding pins 11 and the sliding grooves 10 allows the test chamber 2 to slide smoothly in the back and forth direction, improving its service life.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first groove 6 is located in the middle of the two sliding grooves 10. During the test, the guide seat 3 extends through the test chamber 2 and into the first groove 6.

[0033] In this embodiment, the test chamber 2 includes a test chamber shell 21. The front and rear side walls of the test chamber shell 21 are connected to four pairs of axially symmetrical guide shaft covers 22. Each pair of guide shaft covers 22 is arranged on the same horizontal axis. An intermediate shaft 23 is provided between each pair of guide shaft covers 22. The two ends of the intermediate shaft 23 are fixedly connected to the guide shaft covers 22. The two ends of the intermediate shaft 23 are also provided with cylindrical bearings 24. The intermediate shaft 23 is connected to the inner ring of the cylindrical bearings 24. The pressure rollers 8 are arranged on the outer ring of the cylindrical bearings 24. A spacer 25 is sleeved in the middle of the intermediate shaft 23. During the test, the outer surface of the lifting column of the guide seat 3 is pressed into contact with the eight pressure rollers 8.

[0034] The wear and fatigue testing device for the fixed car jack guide seat in this embodiment has the ability to test the fatigue life of the guide seat 3. This device can simulate the environment under real working conditions and accurately measure the service life of the car jack guide seat 3. After measuring the service life of the device, the working time can be reasonably arranged, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of serious accidents such as car jack collapse, vehicle collapse, or even personal injury and death, and improve the safety of the fixed car jack.
