Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of measurement technology, in particular to a device and a method for detecting wear and eccentric wear of a load-bearing saddle top surface. Background Art

[0002] The load saddle is an important component of the bogie assembly of railway vehicles. The load saddle bears the pressure from the vehicle body and the torsional force during the rotation of the vehicle body. The top surface of the load saddle is the force-bearing mating surface. The load saddle is an ordinary carbon steel casting. After a period of use, its top surface will wear or wear due to long-term friction. To ensure the safe operation of railway vehicles, the load saddle needs to be replaced after the wear or wear of the top surface of the load saddle reaches a certain level. In order to determine whether the wear or wear of the top surface of the load saddle has reached the replacement standard, the wear or wear of the top surface of the load saddle needs to be measured. The existing method for measuring the wear and wear of the top surface of the load saddle is to place a standard flat plate with a smooth surface on the top surface of the load saddle, and then insert plugs of different thicknesses into the gap between the standard flat plate and the top surface of the load saddle. The wear or wear of the top surface of the load saddle is determined by the thickness of the plug inserted into the gap. This existing measurement method requires the measuring staff to select the plug that can be inserted into the gap according to the size of the gap. Human operation errors can easily affect the measurement accuracy. It is necessary to replace plugs of different thicknesses and move the standard flat plate multiple times, which has low measurement efficiency. When a concave center occurs, wear cannot be detected.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the device for detecting wear and eccentric wear of the top surface of the load-bearing saddle of the present invention includes a base 2, a rotating arm 4, a horizontal ruler 5, a table base 6, an indicator table 7, a load-bearing saddle positioning device and a load-bearing saddle clamping device. The present invention also includes a standard calibration rod 12, and the surface of the standard calibration rod 12 is smooth and flat.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the base 2 is a thick steel plate with a smooth surface and an overall rectangular shape. Support legs 1 are provided on either side of the bottom end of the base 2, with two support legs 1 provided on each side. The four support legs 1 are located at the four corners of the bottom surface of the base 2. A rotating arm 4 is vertically connected to the upper surface of the base 2 and can rotate relative to the base 2. The rotating arm 4 is a cylindrical structure, with a rotating shaft 3 connected to the bottom end of the rotating arm 4. The base 2 is provided with a through hole that matches the rotating shaft 3. The rotating shaft 3 passes through the through hole and is positioned at the bottom end by a fixing device. During implementation, a bearing can be provided in the through hole, and the rotating shaft 3 can be connected to the inner ring of the bearing. The outer surface of the bottom end of the rotating shaft 3 is provided with an external thread. After the rotating shaft 3 passes through the bearing in the through hole, the bottom end is locked and fixed by a nut 13. One end of the horizontal ruler 5 is fixed to the outer surface of the rotating arm 4 by a screw. The other end of the horizontal ruler 5 is perpendicular to the outer surface of the rotating arm 4 and extends horizontally outward. The horizontal section of the horizontal ruler 5 is preferably long enough to span the top surface of the load-bearing saddle 21. The dial base 6 is positioned on the horizontal section of the horizontal ruler 5 by the dial base locking screw 20. The relative position of the dial base 6 and the horizontal ruler 5 can be adjusted by loosening the dial base locking screw 20. The dial gauge 7 is mounted on the dial base 6 with the stylus facing downward by the dial gauge locking screw 8. That is, when the dial gauge 7 is mounted on the dial base 6, the stylus of the dial gauge 7 faces vertically downward.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the saddle positioning device is connected to the center of the upper surface of the base 2. The saddle positioning device includes a bearing seat 10, a spindle 11, and a support bearing 9. The bearing seat 10 is connected to the center of the upper surface of the base 2 on one side of the rotating arm 4 via a fixing device. The spindle 11 horizontally passes through the center hole of the bearing seat 10 and protrudes on both sides of the center hole of the bearing seat 10. A support bearing 9 is mounted on each side of the spindle 11 protruding from the center hole of the bearing seat 10. The support bearing 9 is used to support the inner arc surface of the bearing saddle 21.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the load-bearing saddle clamping device is connected to the bottom end and the outer edges of the opposite sides of the base 2 and can jointly clamp and position the load-bearing saddle 21 on the load-bearing saddle positioning device. The load-bearing saddle clamping device includes a screw seat 16, a limit seat 19, an internal screw 22, a limit block 14, a clamping plate 17, and an adjustment handwheel 15. In this embodiment, two sections of screw seats 16 and two clamping plates 17 are provided. The two sections of screw seats 16 are connected to the bottom end of the base 2 at intervals, and the positions of the through holes in the middle of the two sections of screw seats 16 correspond to each other, that is, the middle holes of the two sections of screw seats 16 are axially the same, and the two sections of screw seats 16 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the bottom end of the base 2 at intervals. A limit seat 19 is connected between the two screw seats 16 at the bottom end of the base 2. A through hole is defined in the center of the limit seat 19, axially aligned with the central holes of the two screw seats 16. The limit seat 19 also has a mounting groove that extends upward from the bottom end. The limit block 14 is positioned within the mounting groove of the limit seat 19. The center of the limit block 14 also has a through hole aligned with the central hole of the limit seat 19. The undersides of the two clamping plates 17 are connected to the outer ends of two internally threaded sleeves 18, which are essentially internally threaded sleeves. The two sleeves 18 are positioned inside the two screw seats 16 (in the central through holes), and the two clamping plates 17 are located on the outer edge of the base 2, outside the two screw seats 16. The ends of the two clamping plates 17 extend upward. An internal screw rod 22 passes from right to left through the right-side screw sleeve 18, the central through-hole of the middle stopper 14, and finally into the left-side screw sleeve 18. The external threads of the internal screw rod 22 engage with the internal threads of the two sections of the screw sleeve 18, respectively. The stopper 14 prevents the central portion of the internal screw rod 22 from bending. The right end of the internal screw rod 22 is also recessed inwardly to form an internally threaded hole. The adjustment handwheel 15 includes a handwheel and a connecting screw connected to the inside of the handwheel. The connecting screw on the inside of the adjustment handwheel 15 engages with the internally threaded hole on the right end of the internal screw rod 22 from the outside to the inside. After the connecting screw on the inside of the adjustment handwheel 15 engages with the internally threaded hole on the right end of the internal screw rod 22, the adjustment handwheel 15 and the internal screw rod 22 are connected to form a single unit. Rotating the adjustment handwheel 15 adjusts the relative position of the inner screw 22 and the two-stage threaded sleeve 18. Therefore, rotating the adjustment handwheel 15 can adjust the spacing between the two clamping plates 17, thereby tightening or loosening the load saddle 21 positioned on the load saddle positioning device. During measurement, the horizontal ruler 5 rotates with the rotating arm 4 to the upper side of the load saddle 21, and the stylus of the indicator 7 contacts the top surface of the load saddle 21 to measure the wear and eccentric wear of the load saddle top surface.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present invention provides a measurement method using the above-mentioned load-bearing saddle top surface wear and eccentric wear detection device, comprising the following steps: (1) taking a standard calibration rod 12, one end of the standard calibration rod 12 contacts the upper surface of the base 2 of the detection device, and the other end of the standard calibration rod 12 contacts the stylus of the indicator 7, locking the indicator 7 on the base 6 by the indicator locking screw 8, rotating the outer dial of the indicator 7 so that its long pointer is aligned with the 0 scale line; (2) buckling the load-bearing saddle 21 on the load-bearing saddle positioning device, with the inner cavity of the load-bearing saddle 21 facing downward and the top surface facing upward, and then adjusting the position of the load-bearing saddle 21 so that its inner arc is aligned with the two The support bearing 9 is in stable contact so that the top surface of the load-bearing saddle 21 is in a horizontal state, and the adjusting hand wheel 15 is turned to clamp the clamping plates 17 on both sides of the base 2 to clamp the load-bearing saddle 21; (3) Rotate the rotating arm 4 to make the horizontal ruler 5 rotate with the rotating arm 4 to the top of the load-bearing saddle 21, so that the probe of the indicator 7 contacts the top surface of the load-bearing saddle 21, and measure the wear size of the top surface of the load-bearing saddle. During the measurement process, the rotating arm 4 can be continuously rotated and the relative position of the table base 6 and the horizontal ruler 5 can be adjusted so that the probe of the indicator 7 can contact any position of the top surface of the load-bearing saddle. The maximum reading value of the indicator 7 is the wear depth of the top surface of the load-bearing saddle, and the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​is the amount of eccentric wear.

[0023] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. The structure of the present invention is not limited to the forms listed in the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
