Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering machinery, and in particular to a fatigue testing fixture and testing method for a guide wheel tensioning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the rapid development of the construction machinery industry in China in recent years, the country has vigorously promoted the development of the construction machinery manufacturing industry. With the increasing demand for construction machinery in China, the supply and demand contradiction has gradually widened. Among them, excavators have advantages such as high traction, strong climbing ability, and small turning radius, and therefore have been widely used in engineering construction and mining development.

[0003] Currently, existing fatigue testing equipment for guide wheel tensioning mechanisms generally places the guide wheel tensioning mechanism directly onto the inspection equipment for rotational durability testing, thereby achieving the purpose of fatigue testing of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism. However, in actual use, the tensile force on the contact surface of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism is different from that in the fatigue test, which leads to a discrepancy between the fatigue test results and the actual test data. Summary of the Invention

This solves the problem that conventional fatigue testing equipment for guide wheel tensioning mechanisms typically places the mechanism directly onto an inspection device for rotational durability testing, thus achieving the purpose of fatigue testing. However, in actual use, the tensile force at the contact surface of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism differs from the actual test data, leading to discrepancies between the fatigue test results and the actual inspection data.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a fatigue testing fixture and testing method for a guide wheel tensioning mechanism, comprising a fixture testing base, wherein a guide wheel tensioning mechanism is disposed above the fixture testing base;

[0008] The tooling inspection base has a strip groove on the lower part of its inner wall. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the strip groove. Moving blocks are threaded to both sides of the arm of the bidirectional lead screw. Rotating rods are rotatably connected to the upper surfaces of the two moving blocks. A lifting plate is rotatably connected to the upper ends of the two rotating rods. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the lifting plate. Openings are opened on both sides of the upper surface of the tooling inspection base. The upper ends of the two connecting rods extend to the upper sides of the tooling inspection base through the corresponding openings. A simulated contact panel is fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two connecting rods.

[0009] A cylinder is fixedly connected to the center of the lower part of the inner wall of the tooling inspection base.

A reserved groove is provided on the upper surface of the simulation contact panel. The upper end of the lifting rod extends into the reserved groove through the circular connecting opening and is fixedly connected to a simulated protrusion.

[0010] Preferably, mounting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the tooling testing base, threaded rods are threadedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the two mounting plates, clamping plates are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two threaded rods, and knobs are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two threaded rods.

[0011] Furthermore, a displacement sensor and a pressure sensor are fixedly connected to the lower side of the two mounting plates on opposite sides, respectively. A drive device and a speed sensor are placed on the rear side above the tooling detection base.

Then the drive mechanism on the rear side of the upper part of the fixture test base drives the guide wheel tensioning mechanism.

[0014] S2. During the fatigue test of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism, the drive equipment is started by an external power supply. Then, the geared motor drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw drives the two threaded moving blocks to move relative to each other. The two moving blocks drive the lifting plate to rise through the rotating rod.

The lifting rod can drive the simulated protrusion to apply an upward thrust to the guide wheel tensioning mechanism, so that the guide wheel tensioning mechanism is subjected to an upward thrust, thereby achieving a reverse tension effect, so that the guide wheel tensioning mechanism can simulate the data generated under tension during the experiment.

[0016] Furthermore, during the drive of S1, the speed sensor can guide the wheel tensioning mechanism to detect the speed, and can transmit the data to the human-machine interface display screen in real time via the line.

[0017] Furthermore, in S2, a pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure on the guide wheel tensioning mechanism, and the detected data can be transmitted to the human-machine interface display screen for display via a circuit.

[0018] Furthermore, the S3 uses a displacement sensor to detect the displacement of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism caused by pressure, and the data can be transmitted to the human-machine interface display screen via a circuit.

[0019] Furthermore, the simulated contact panel in S2 is made of metal sheet that is commonly used in the actual operation of the guide wheel tensioning machine, and the drive range of the geared motor can be adjusted according to the actual installation height of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism, so that the simulated contact panel can always be in contact with the lower surface of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism.

[0020] Furthermore, all devices in any of steps S1-S3 are connected to an external power source via a power line before use, and can be started by turning on the corresponding power switch.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a fatigue testing fixture and method for a guide wheel tensioning mechanism, which is further expanded based on the content of specific embodiment one:

[0037] One of the fatigue testing fixtures and testing methods for a guide wheel tensioning mechanism includes: S1, placing the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2 on top of the fixture testing base 1, and then rotating the threaded rod 18 by the knob 20, so that the threaded rod 18 can cooperate with the clamping plate 19 to clamp the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2, thus fixing the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2 to be tested. Then, the drive mechanism on the rear side of the fixture testing base 1 drives the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2, providing the guide wheel rotation drive source required for the test. During the drive in S1, the speed sensor can detect the speed of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2, detect the rotation of the guide wheel, and transmit the data to the human-machine interface display screen 23 in real time through the line, so as to display the rotation data well.

[0038] S2. During the fatigue test of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2, the drive equipment is started by an external power supply. Then, the reduction motor 25 drives the bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 4 drives the two threaded moving blocks 5 to move relative to each other. The two moving blocks 5 drive the lifting plate 7 to rise through the rotating rod 6. The lifting plate 7 drives the simulated contact panel 10 to contact the surface of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2 through the connecting rod 8, thereby simulating the most realistic frictional force in the usage environment. The position of the simulated contact panel 10 can be adjusted according to the installation position of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2, so that the simulated contact panel 10 can cooperate well with the drive equipment to tension the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2. To conduct a test that closely resembles real-world conditions, pressure sensor 22 is used in S2 to detect the pressure on the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2. The detected data is transmitted to the human-machine interface display screen 23 for display. The simulated contact panel 10 in S2 is made of metal sheet commonly used in actual use of the guide wheel tensioning machine. The drive range of the geared motor 25 can be adjusted according to the actual installation height of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2, ensuring that the simulated contact panel 10 is always in contact with the lower surface of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2. This allows the equipment to simulate the environment of real-world test conditions to the greatest extent possible.

[0039] S3. While simulating the real contact surface, the cylinder 11 can drive the lifting rod 13 to rise and fall. The lifting rod 13 can drive the simulated protrusion 16 to apply an upward thrust to the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2, so that the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2 is subjected to an upward thrust, thereby achieving a reverse tension effect. This allows the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2 to simulate the data generated under tension during the experiment, and the tension condition of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2 under use can be tested. In S3, the displacement sensor 21 detects the displacement of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2 caused by pressure, and the data can be transmitted to the human-machine interface display screen 23 through the line, which can effectively detect the displacement of the guide wheel tensioning mechanism 2 under tension.

[0040] Before use, all devices in any of steps S1-S3 are connected to an external power source via a power line. Afterward, the corresponding device can be started by turning on the corresponding power switch.
