The mechanism also includes an amplitude change unit and an acceleration protection unit. This axle fatigue test detection mechanism causes the output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder to extend and retract, driving the axle to swing up and down multiple times, accelerating the axle's swing speed and improving detection efficiency without accelerating wear of the servo hydraulic cylinder's components.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of axle detection, and in particular to an axle fatigue test detection mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A train axle is a semi-axle connecting the wheels to the final drive (or differential). Its primary function is to transmit torque, ensuring the wheels rotate at a predetermined speed and direction, thereby propelling the train forward. It is a core component of the bogie, and its performance plays a decisive role in the reliability of EMU vehicles.

[0003] The existing axle fatigue test bench includes fixing parts for limiting and fixing the two ends of the axle and a servo hydraulic cylinder for driving the middle part of the axle to move up and down by a certain amplitude. In actual testing, the servo hydraulic cylinder generally drives the axle to move up and down by the same amplitude. However, the train axle will encounter various complex road conditions during driving, such as curves, slopes, uneven tracks, etc. These will cause the axle to be subjected to alternating loads of different amplitudes. The up and down movement of the same amplitude cannot more comprehensively reflect the stress state and fatigue performance of the axle in a complex operating environment, and thus cannot provide more accurate test results and evaluation basis. At the same time, the servo hydraulic cylinder moves back and forth through its output end to In order to drive the middle part of the axle to swing up and down, in order to speed up the swing of the axle, it is necessary to speed up the reciprocating motion of the output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder. The rapid reciprocating motion will increase the friction between the seal and the cylinder wall. Long-term operation will accelerate the wear of the seal and reduce its sealing performance. In addition, the rapid reciprocating motion will cause the metal material of the cylinder to be subjected to repeated stress, which can easily cause material fatigue. In short, the rapid reciprocating motion of the output end will shorten the service life of the servo hydraulic cylinder components. Therefore, it is impossible to speed up the swing of the axle (generally the axle needs to swing up and down at least 800,000 times), and thus it is impossible to improve the test efficiency. Therefore, the present application provides an axle fatigue test detection mechanism to meet the needs. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example: Reference Figure 1-6 The axle fatigue test detection mechanism shown in the figure includes a frame 1, two limit blocks 2 with limit holes 3 mounted on the bottom plate of the frame 1, a U-shaped plate 21 mounted on the inner side of the top plate of the frame 1, a crossbeam 4 connecting the U-shaped plate 21, the crossbeam 4 to which an upper limit plate 5 and a lower limit plate 6 are bolted, and a servo hydraulic cylinder 7 for driving the crossbeam 4 to move up and down. It also includes a variable amplitude unit and a unidirectional continuous drive unit.

[0034] Luffing unit: used to drive the axle to swing up and down with different amplitudes;

[0035] The amplitude changing unit is located inside the U-shaped plate 21 and includes a driving wheel 10, a U-shaped rod 14 with a rotating drum 16 rotatably provided at both ends through bearings, and a one-way gear 11;

[0036] The driving wheel 10 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 9. The two ends of the rotating shaft 9 are rotatably connected to the mounting plates 8. The two mounting plates 8 are fixedly connected to the frame 1. Coaxial annular grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the driving wheel 10, and the inner cavity of the annular groove 12 is provided with a variable amplitude assembly 13.

[0037] The amplitude-changing assembly 13 includes a plurality of arcuate protrusions 132 circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the annular groove 12 and an arcuate groove 131 circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the annular groove 12. The protrusion height of each arcuate protrusion 132 is inconsistent, and the recessed depth of each arcuate groove 131 is consistent with the protrusion height of the corresponding arcuate protrusion 132. The spacing between each arcuate groove 131 and the corresponding arcuate protrusion 132 is equal and all are adapted to the diameter of the rotating drum 16. The rotating drum 16 is located in the annular groove 12.

[0038] A one-way gear 11 is mounted on the rotating shaft 9, and the one-way gear 11 is gear-connected with the output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7;

[0039] A limiting column 15 is fixed on the U-shaped rod 14, and the upper end of the limiting column 15 slides through the U-shaped plate 21, and the U-shaped plate 21 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1;

[0040] The crossbeam 4 is connected to the U-shaped rod 14, and the U-shaped rod 14 drives the crossbeam 4 to move up and down;

[0041] The unidirectional continuous driving unit is used to drive the driving wheel 10 to perform unidirectional continuous rotation.

[0042] When in use (before use, the two ends of the axle are respectively inserted and installed in the limit holes 3, and the middle part of the axle is fixed and limited between the upper limit plate 5 and the lower limit plate 6 by bolts), the output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7 can be extended downward, and the rotating shaft 9 is driven to rotate counterclockwise through the one-way gear 11, thereby driving the driving wheel 10 to rotate, so that the rotating drum 16 moves in the variable amplitude path of the closed loop surrounded by the annular groove 12, the arc-shaped protrusion 132 and the arc-shaped groove 131, thereby causing the U-shaped rod 14 to drive the crossbeam 4 to swing up and down with varying amplitudes, which is conducive to more comprehensive reflection of the The stress state and fatigue performance of the axle in a complex operating environment. When the output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7 is fully extended downward, the crossbeam 4 has driven the axle to swing up and down multiple times. The output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7 moves upward to return to its original position. At this time, the drive wheel 10 does not rotate. Compared with the original structure, which can only complete one up and down swing of the axle as the output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7 extends and contracts, this structure can drive the axle to swing up and down multiple times when the output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7 extends and contracts, thereby accelerating the swing speed of the axle, improving the detection efficiency, and will not accelerate the wear of the various components of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7.

[0043] It should be noted that, first, rotating cylinders 16 are rotatably provided at both ends of the U-shaped rod 14, and two are provided to allow for even force to be applied, thereby preventing damage to the bearing caused by excessive force; second, the width of the annular groove 12 is equal everywhere; third, a plurality of universal ball joints are circumferentially provided at the through-circular hole of the U-shaped plate 21, and the plurality of universal ball joints are in sliding contact with the outer wall of the limiting column 15; fourth, this test detection structure improves the test detection efficiency without changing the operating speed of the original servo hydraulic cylinder 7.

[0044] It also includes a unidirectional continuous driving unit for driving the driving wheel 10 to perform unidirectional continuous rotation.

[0045] Because when the output end of the hydraulic servo cylinder 7 is retracted from the extended state, it cannot drive the drive wheel 10 to rotate, that is, it cannot control the axle to move up and down during this time period, which causes this period of time to be wasted, which is not conducive to further promoting the improvement of the test work efficiency.

[0046] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the one-way continuous drive unit includes an additional set of one-way gears 11. The two sets of one-way gears 11 are installed on the rotating shaft 9 in the same direction. The output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7 is provided with a U-shaped tooth plate, and the two tooth connection ends of the U-shaped tooth plate are respectively toothed with the corresponding single one-way gear 11.

[0047] Another set of one-way gears 11 is added, and when the U-shaped tooth plate (reference Figure 8 ) When the servo hydraulic cylinder 7 moves downward, the tooth connection part on the left side of the U-shaped tooth plate drives the driving wheel 10 to rotate counterclockwise. When the U-shaped tooth plate moves upward, the tooth connection part of the U-shaped tooth plate on the right side drives the driving wheel 10 to rotate counterclockwise, so that when the output end of the servo hydraulic cylinder 7 extends and contracts, the driving wheel 10 rotates continuously in the same direction, which can greatly improve work efficiency. At the same time, compared with alternating forward and reverse rotation, continuous rotation in the same direction can effectively reduce the rolling trajectory of the bearing in the annular groove 12. It is relatively stable, which helps to reduce the impact and vibration that may be caused by sudden changes in direction; continuous unidirectional movement helps the internal components of the bearing maintain a relatively uniform stress distribution, avoids the instantaneous high stress state that may occur when repeatedly switching directions, and is beneficial to improving the service life of the bearing.

[0048] It should be noted that, first, the two one-way gears 11 are located in the U-shaped cavity of the U-shaped gear plate, and the two toothed ends of the U-shaped gear plate are respectively connected to the left end of a one-way gear 11 and the right end of a one-way gear 11; second, they are installed in the same direction, that is, the two one-way gear drive shafts can drive the rotating shaft 9 to rotate in the same direction; third, the rotating shaft 16 is rotatably set on the U-shaped rod 14 through a bearing, the purpose of which is to reduce the friction between the rotating drum 16 and the driving wheel 10.

[0049] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, a labor-saving protection unit is further included to reduce the bearing force on the rotating drum 16.

[0050] The purpose is to further reduce the load on the bearings inside the drum 16, protect the bearings and increase their service life.

[0051] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the labor-saving protection unit includes a linear toothed plate 17 fixedly set on the U-shaped rod 14 and a pinion 18, a large gear 19 and a gear column 20 that are meshed with each other in sequence. The upper end of the gear column 20 slides through the U-shaped plate 21, and the pinion 18 and the large gear 19 are both rotatably set on the U-shaped plate 21, and the pinion 18 is gear-connected with the toothed plate 17.

[0052] When the U-shaped rod 14 moves up and down, the pinion 18 is driven to rotate through the tooth plate 17, and the rotation of the pinion 18 drives the large gear to rotate. The large gear 19 then drives the axle to swing up and down through the tooth connection with the gear column 20. The pinion 18 drives the large gear 19 to rotate to form a labor-saving structure, that is, the U-shaped rod 14 can drive the axle to swing up and down with less force, thereby reducing the force on the bearings in the drum 16, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the bearings.

[0053] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, the gear ratio between the large gear 19 and the small gear 18 is 3.

[0054] When the gear ratio of the large gear 19 to the small gear 18 is 3, it can achieve a good labor-saving effect (that is, it can greatly reduce the force on the bearings in the drum 16) and also has a higher transmission efficiency. At the same time, it also avoids the axle movement amplitude being too small to provide more accurate test results (when the gear ratio of the large gear 19 to the small gear 18 increases, since the speed of the large gear 19 decreases, the angle of rotation of the large gear 19 in the same time is reduced, so the distance moved by the gear column 20 will also be reduced accordingly, that is, the movement amplitude of the axle will be reduced accordingly).

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
