[0021] Figure 2 As shown, the drive system includes a bearing 1, a speed sensor 2, a motor 3, a bearing 4, a reduction gearbox 5, and an articulation box 6. The speed sensor 2 is mounted on the left side of the bearing 1 to monitor the speed of the motor 3. The motor 3 is a forward-reversible motor with controllable forward and reverse rotation. The articulation box 6 contains a pin 61 for connecting to a pin hole 71 in the swing angle adjustment system.

[0022] Figure 3 As shown, the swing angle adjustment system includes an articulated joint 7, a swing angle adjustment head 8, a hydraulic cylinder 9, a shaft head 10, and a torque sensor 11. The articulated joint 7 contains a pin hole 71, which is connected to the pin shaft 61 inside the articulated box 6 through the pin hole 71. The swing angle adjuster 8 is connected to the cylinder 9. By controlling the stroke of the cylinder 9, the relative swing angle θ between the fork head 12 and the flat head 14 can be adjusted. The cylinder 9 is fixed to the ground via a revolute pair 91. The torque sensor 11 is mounted on the outer surface of the shaft head 10 and is used to monitor the torque value transmitted by the shaft head 10.

[0023] Figure 4 As shown: The forward and reverse heavy-duty coupling includes a fork 12, a slider 13, and a flat head 14. The fork 12 has a shaft mounting hole 121 at its end, through which the fork 12 is connected to the shaft 10 in the swing angle adjustment system by an interference fit. The right side of the fork 12 and the slider 13 are clearance fit, allowing the right side of the fork 12 and the slider 13 to swing relative to each other. The swing angle θ is represented by θ. The range of the swing angle θ is plus or minus 5 0The left side of the flat head 14 has a clearance fit with the slider 13, allowing the flat head 14 and the slider 13 to expand and contract relative to each other in the axial direction. The relative expansion and contraction distance L between the left side surface of the flat head 14 and the left side surface of the slider 13 ranges from 200 to -50 mm. A brake spindle head mounting hole 141 is provided on the right side of the flat head 14. The flat head 14 is connected to the brake spindle head 151 in the brake system through an interference fit through the brake spindle head mounting hole 141.

[0024] Figure 5 As shown, the braking system includes a brake shaft 15, a wear-resistant layer 16, a brake hydraulic cylinder 17, a brake disc 18, a bearing 19, a speed sensor 20, a slide 21, a displacement sensor 22, and a guide rail 23. The brake shaft 15 comprises a brake shaft head 151, a brake shaft segment 152, and a brake shaft support segment 153. The brake shaft head 151 is interference-fitted with the flat head 14 via the brake shaft head mounting hole 141. The wear-resistant layer 16 is bolted to the outer surface of the brake shaft segment 152. During braking, the brake disc 18 contacts the wear-resistant layer 16. The brake disc 18 is connected to the brake hydraulic cylinder 17, which regulates the speed and stroke of the brake disc 18. A speed sensor 20 is mounted on the right side of the bearing 19 to measure the speed at the output end of the forward and reverse heavy-duty coupling. The bearing 19 is mounted on the slide 21, which slides relative to the guide rail 23. The slide 21 monitors its sliding distance via a sensor 22 mounted on the guide rail 23.

[0025] Working process and principle:

[0026] Before the test, the position of the forward and reverse heavy-duty coupling is adjusted. First, by controlling the sliding distance between the slide 21 and the guide rail 23, the relative telescopic distance L between the flat head 14 and the fork head 13 is adjusted to a specified value. The relative telescopic value range of L is 200 to -50 mm. Then, by controlling the stroke of the hydraulic cylinder 9, the relative swing angle between the flat head 14 and the fork head 13 is adjusted. θ , swing angle θ The range is plus or minus 5 0 .

[0027] During the test, the heavy-duty coupling, which rotates forward and reverse, is driven by motor 3. When the speed reaches the rated value, brake hydraulic cylinder 17 applies a specified braking force to brake shaft segment 152 to simulate the rolling reaction force from the rolled material during rolling. Then, the direction of motor 3 rotation is reversed. When the speed reaches the rated value, brake hydraulic cylinder 17 applies a specified braking force to brake shaft segment 152.

[0028] Repeat the above steps until the forward and reverse heavy-duty coupling fails structurally. Count the number of rotations before failure of the forward and reverse heavy-duty coupling. This number is the fatigue life of the forward and reverse heavy-duty coupling under the test conditions.
