Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bearing testing equipment, and more specifically to a bearing testing equipment for performing tests on the elliptical and tapered deformation of the inner hole of the outer ring of a bearing. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of machinery, bearings support the rotation and operation of the machine. If there are problems with the quality at the factory or if problems such as eccentricity occur during use, it may affect the overall operation of the equipment and the overall production progress. Therefore, it is essential to conduct simulated tests on bearing performance using a bearing testing machine before mass production or shipment.
[0003] Bearing testers are tools used for testing bearings. They can perform durability tests under high temperature and high speed conditions, as well as various performance tests such as overspeed, overload, and oil cut-off. However, existing bearing testers cannot test bearings when the inner hole of the outer ring is deformed into an ellipse or taper, which is a technological gap. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing bearing testers cannot perform tests when the inner hole of the bearing outer ring is deformed into an ellipse or a taper. This invention provides a bearing tester for testing the elliptical and taper deformation of the inner hole of the bearing outer ring.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: a bearing tester for performing tests on the elliptical and tapered deformation of the inner bore of the outer ring of a bearing, comprising a tester housing, a test spindle, a test bearing, a first process bearing assembly, a second process bearing assembly, a lock nut, a test bearing housing, a bushing, a radial loading assembly, a process bushing, multiple bolts, and multiple adjusting screws.
[0006] The test bearing, the first process bearing assembly, and the second process bearing assembly are sequentially mounted on the test spindle from left to right. The left end of the test spindle is threadedly connected to a locking nut, which contacts the left end of the test bearing. The test bearing is a flange bearing. The right end of the bushing is mounted outside the non-flange end of the outer ring of the test bearing. The test bearing housing is mounted outside the bushing. The test bearing housing is connected to the flange end of the test bearing by multiple bolts. Multiple adjusting screws are threaded onto the test bearing housing. The bottom of the adjusting screw has a protrusion along the side wall of the screw. The bottom of the adjusting screw is located above the left end of the bushing. The test spindle is housed inside the test chamber housing. The test bearing housing is fitted into the test chamber housing. The first process bearing assembly has a radial loading component mounted on the test chamber housing at its top. The second process bearing assembly is connected to the right end of the test chamber housing through a process bushing.
[0007] Furthermore, there are two adjusting screws.
[0008] Furthermore, the locking nut comes into contact with the inner ring of the test bearing.
[0009] Furthermore, an adjusting washer is fitted onto the adjusting screw, and the adjusting washer is positioned between the nut of the adjusting screw and the test bearing seat.
[0010] Furthermore, the right end of the test bearing is provided with a disassembly ring, which is fitted onto the outside of the test spindle, and the right end of the disassembly ring is pressed against the shoulder of the test spindle.
[0011] Furthermore, the first process bearing assembly includes an intermediate spacer ring, an outer ring spacer ring, and two first process bearings;
[0012] Two first-process bearings are mounted on the test spindle, with an outer ring spacer positioned between the outer rings of the two first-process bearings and an intermediate spacer positioned between the inner rings of the two first-process bearings.
[0013] Furthermore, the radial loading assembly includes a radial loading cylinder, a radial loading end cap, a radial loading piston, a radial loading adapter sleeve, and two load bodies;
[0014] The radial loading cylinder is fixed on the tester housing. The radial loading cylinder, radial loading end cap, radial loading piston and radial loading adapter sleeve are connected in sequence. Each end of the radial loading adapter sleeve is connected to a first process bearing through a load body.
[0015] Furthermore, the second process bearing assembly includes a clamping spacer, a clamping washer, and two second process bearings;
[0016] Two secondary process bearings are mounted on the test spindle, with a clamping washer placed between the two secondary process bearings and a clamping spacer placed between the inner rings of the two secondary process bearings.
[0017] Furthermore, a spacer ring is provided between the second process bearing on the left end and the first process bearing adjacent to the second process bearing.
[0018] Furthermore, a test spindle disassembly ring fitted on the test spindle is provided between the left end of the first process bearing on the left end and the shoulder of the test spindle.
[0019] Beneficial effects:
[0020] The outer ring of the test bearing is installed in a bushing, which is then installed in a test bearing housing. Adjusting pins and shims are installed on the test bearing housing. The elliptical deformation of the bushing's inner bore is adjusted by changing the stroke of the adjusting pins, and the taper angle of the bushing's inner bore is adjusted by changing the force application point (protrusion position) of the adjusting pins. Ultimately, this causes elliptical and taper deformation in the inner bore of the bearing's outer ring. The bearing deformation is measured and tested after selecting and matching the adjusting pins. This ensures that the requirements for elliptical and taper deformation of the outer ring's inner bore are met. The bearing's functional performance and lifespan under eccentric loading conditions can be evaluated. The experimental results can be used to optimize and improve the manufacturing process of bearings used under special operating conditions. Attached Figure Description
