TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The spiral spring for automobile clutch is one of the important elements to ensure the normal operation of the clutch. The working durability and reliability of the spring are one of the important indicators to ensure the normal operation of the automobile clutch assembly. In the prior art, a spring fatigue testing machine is used to test the durability of the spring. The deformation amount of the spring is monitored in real time through a micro switch. When the spring fails due to fatigue, the deformation amount exceeds the set threshold, and the micro switch sends an alarm signal to realize fatigue testing. However, for springs with large stiffness and small deformation, it is difficult to accurately measure the micro switch, resulting in unsatisfactory test results.

[0004] In the technical solution, the spring to be detected located between the impact shaft and the top rod assembly is impacted by the impact shaft relative to the top rod assembly, so that the spring to be detected can withstand the impact under the simulated working environment. The above test operation is repeated to observe the number of impacts that the spring to be detected can withstand, and the fatigue strength is obtained. As can be seen, the number of impacts of the spring cannot be automatically recorded, and it is difficult to realize automation, and manual intervention is required, which may lead to inaccurate test results due to human factors.

[0041] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, a center hole 3-1 is opened in the center of the platform 3. The main fixing plate 2 is fixed to the middle of the platform 3 by a pin hole and screw thread connection. An inner mounting hole 2-2 is opened in the center of the main fixing plate 2, so that the center hole 3-1 is exposed from the inner mounting hole 2-2, and the two are connected to each other.

A counterbore 12-4 is formed at the right end (the end away from the bearing 32) of the push rod 12, and the spring positioning fixing plate 10 and the spring positioning block 9 are fixed and connected through bolts. A guide groove 12-5 is formed on the outer wall of the push rod 12, which is used to accommodate a guide pin 19.

Further, a sensor installation groove 6-1 is arranged at the center of the sensor fixing plate 6 and is used for placing the sensor 6-5. The sensor 6-5 is fixedly connected with a sensor fixing hole 6-3 arranged on the sensor fixing plate 6 in a threaded mode. A connecting rod installation hole 6-2 is arranged on the side of the sensor installation groove 6-1 away from the sensor fixing hole 6-3 and is used for penetrating the connecting rod 8.

A scale 18-1 is arranged on the upper end surface of the outer conical sleeve 18 in the circumferential direction. A scale line 17-1 is arranged on the inner conical sleeve 17 at a position corresponding to the scale 18-1. When the inner conical sleeve 17 and the outer conical sleeve 18 are relatively rotated, the eccentricity is adjusted by adjusting the position of the scale line 17-1 relative to the scale 18-1. This is more flexible and convenient, can save installation space and reduce the balancing weight device.
[0049] Referring to the accompanying Figure 2 , 5A groove 2-3 is formed on the top of the main fixing plate 2 for mounting a protective cover 13, which covers the eccentric bearing assembly and the main shaft 14 to prevent impurities from entering and affecting the test.
