Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a test platform, in particular to a mechanical preloaded power closed test platform. Background Art

[0002] Gear transmission is an important form of transmission for power transmission, and plays a vital role in the automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace, aviation, chemical and other fields. With the development of science and technology and the increase in usage demand, the power transmitted by gears has gradually increased and the operating speed has gradually increased.

[0003] From the perspective of gearbox testing methods, according to the different driving and loading methods, it is divided into open test bench and closed power flow test bench.

[0004] An open test bench consists of a power source (motor), a speed-changing gearbox, a test gearbox, and a power-consuming device. The power of the power-consuming device must be equal to that of the test gearbox. As the test power increases, the cost and size of the test bench increase exponentially. Therefore, this test method is generally only suitable for no-load tests or loaded tests on small gearboxes.

[0005] The closed power flow test bench connects the test gearbox and the accompanying test gearbox in some form to form a closed state, and connects a loading device in series within the closed system to load the test gearbox. During the test, the closed power inside the test gearbox can reach full load, and the drag power to drive them only needs to overcome the friction power consumption of the gearbox closed system. For the full-load and long-term performance test of heavy-load and high-power gearboxes, if the open test method is used, the power of the power source (motor), speed change gearbox, and power consumption device is equal to the power of the test gearbox; when the closed power flow test method is used, the power of the speed change gearbox and loading device is equal to the power of the test gearbox, and the power of the power source (motor) is generally only a few percent of the power of the test gearbox, which will reduce the construction cost of the test bench.

[0006] In summary, in order to solve the problems of high cost, high power consumption and poor economy in the full-load and long-term performance test of high-power and heavy-load gearboxes, the present invention analyzes the full-load test method of gearboxes, especially high-power and heavy-load gearboxes, and designs a mechanical preloaded power closed test platform.

[0012] Furthermore, the mechanical preloading device also includes nuts, bolts and locking nuts. The first loading flange and the second loading flange are connected by nuts and bolts. The locking nut is screwed on the end of the first loading gear and positions the locking plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the mechanical preloading device also includes a positioning flange, an adjusting gasket and a first rolling bearing. The first rolling bearing is mounted on one side of the first loading gear. The positioning flange is installed on the housing of the loading gear box after adjusting its position through the adjusting gasket, and one end of the positioning flange is placed on the outer ring of the first rolling bearing.

[0014] Furthermore, the mechanical preloading device also includes a second rolling bearing, a first retaining ring, a third rolling bearing and a second retaining ring, the second rolling bearing is mounted on the other side of the first loading gear, the third rolling bearing is mounted on one side of the second loading gear, the first retaining ring is mounted on the other side of the first loading gear and is blocked on the inner ring of the second rolling bearing, and the second retaining ring is mounted on one side of the second loading gear and is blocked on the inner ring of the third rolling bearing.

The power required to drive them (referring to the motor) only needs to overcome the frictional power loss of the gearbox enclosed system. Because the present invention makes minimal changes to existing gearbox testing equipment, it solves the problem of high test platform costs. Moreover, because the motor's power is reduced to a level that overcomes frictional power loss, it solves the problems of high power consumption and poor economic efficiency.
