[0002] Aerospace bearings operate under complex and demanding conditions. High temperatures, high speeds, and high loads place increasingly stringent quality requirements on bearings. The quality of the deflection torque directly impacts bearing performance, and strict regulations govern the machining and testing processes. Users also impose stringent requirements based on their specific application requirements.

[0003] A certain type of flange ball bearing has a drum-shaped outer ring that can mate with the spherical inner bore of the flange to form a self-aligning contact structure. Currently, the design of this type of flange ball bearing has limitations on the allowable deflection angle [β] and allowable deflection torque. The allowable deflection angle [β] is a specific value, that is, the relative deflection angle between the inner ring and the flange that the bearing is allowed to rotate during operation. The allowable deflection torque is a range of values, that is, within this range, the bearing inner ring is allowed to deflect between the bearing and the flange to ensure that the finished bearing can operate stably. The range of deflection torque values ​​can be calculated from the allowable deflection angle [β].

[0004] However, in the inspection of flanged ball bearings, the deflection torque cannot be measured due to the lack of corresponding testing equipment. To improve bearing performance, current manufacturing processes have clearly defined requirements for the measurement of deflection torque, making it imperative to solve the problem of detecting the deflection torque of flanged ball bearings.

[0041] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.

[0042] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment describes a method for measuring the deflection torque of a flange ball bearing. The tooling used includes a test mandrel 2, a bearing mounting base 3, and a measuring platform 8.

[0043] The bearing mounting base 3 includes an integrally formed base 3-1 and a base plate 3-2. The base 3-1 and the base plate 3-2 are arranged perpendicularly. The base plate 3-2 has a through hole. The base 3-1 is fixedly connected to the measuring platform 8.

[0044] The flange of the test bearing 5 is fixed on the base plate 3-2, and the test mandrel 2 is inserted into the inner ring of the test bearing 5.

[0045] Furthermore, the method is specifically carried out according to the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Secure the base 3-1 to the measuring platform 8;

[0047] Step 2: Fix the flange of the test bearing 5 to one side of the base plate 3-2;

[0048] Step 3: One end of the test mandrel 2 is coaxially inserted into the inner ring of the test bearing 5. The test mandrel 2 passes through the through hole of the substrate 3-2, and the other end of the test mandrel 2 is connected to the tension mechanism 1.

[0049] Step 4: Install the displacement measuring mechanism 9 on the measuring platform 8, with the probe of the displacement measuring mechanism 9 abutting against the end face of the outer ring of the test bearing 5;

[0050] Step 5: Record the distance L between the axis of the probe of displacement measuring mechanism 9 and the axis of the test mandrel 2;

[0051] Step 6: Apply a force greater than P to the test mandrel 2 using tension mechanism 1. min The tensile load is applied vertically upwards to the horizontal plane, causing the inner ring of the test bearing 5 to deflect between itself and the flange. At the same time, the displacement value L′ of the displacement measuring mechanism 9 is observed. The tensile load is applied in stages and gradually.

[0052] P min The minimum load required for deflection between the inner ring and the flange;

[0053] Step 7: After the inner ring of bearing 5 deflects between itself and the flange, the trajectory of the outer ring's swing is an arc. Therefore, the trajectory of bearing 5 before deflection, after deflection, and the trajectory of the outer ring's swing satisfy the sector chord length formula. However, in reality, because the actual deflection angle β′ is very small, the length of the arc can be approximately equal to a straight line (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown), the length of the straight line is the displacement value L′ of the displacement measuring mechanism 9. The actual deflection angle β′ of the test bearing 5 is obtained through L and L′.

[0054]

[0056] β′: The actual deflection angle of test bearing 5;

[0057] L′: Displacement value of displacement measuring mechanism 9;

[0058] L: The distance between the axis of the probe of the measuring mechanism 9 and the axis of the test mandrel 2;

[0059] Step 8: Compare the actual deflection angle β′ with the allowable deflection angle [β];

[0060] If β′<[β], then the tension mechanism 1 continues to apply a tensile load to the test mandrel 2;

[0061] When β′=[β], the tension mechanism 1 stops loading, and the load value P of the tension mechanism 1 at this time is observed.

[0062] Step 9: Since one end of the test mandrel 2 is coaxially inserted into the inner ring of the test bearing 5, the deflection torque of the test bearing 5 is: the torque generated by the tensile load minus the torque generated by the self-weight of the other end of the test mandrel 2 (i.e., the connection end between the tensile mechanism 1 and the test mandrel 2), to calculate the actual deflection torque M of the test bearing 5. kp ;

[0063]

[0064] In the formula:

[0065] M kp Test the actual deflection torque of bearing 5;

[0066] P: When β′=[β], observe the load value of tension mechanism 1;

[0067] L: The distance between the axis of the probe of the measuring mechanism 9 and the axis of the test mandrel 2;

[0068] m: Mass of test mandrel 2;

[0069] g: Gravity coefficient, g = 9.8 N / kg.

[0070] Specific Implementation Method Two: Combining Figure 1 In this embodiment, the base 3-1 and the measuring platform 8 are connected by bolts in step one. Other components and connections are the same as in specific embodiment one.

[0071] Specific implementation method three: Combining Figure 1 This embodiment describes a test mandrel 2 comprising a first shaft, a collar, and a second shaft. The first shaft is coaxially inserted into the inner ring of the test bearing 5, and the end of the second shaft is connected to the tension mechanism 1.

[0072] Furthermore, it also includes a bearing cap 2-1, which is installed on the end face of the first shaft body by screws, and the two end faces of the inner ring of the test bearing 5 abut against the bearing cap 2-1 and the shaft collar respectively.

[0073] The other components and connections are the same as in specific implementation method one or two.

[0074] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figure 1 This embodiment describes a tension mechanism 1 that includes a spiral testing frame 6 and a tension gauge 7. The two ends of the tension gauge 7 are respectively connected to the spiral testing frame 6 and the second shaft of the testing mandrel 2.

[0075] The other components and connections are the same as those in specific implementation methods one, two, or three.

[0076] Specific Implementation Method Five: Combining Figure 1 In this embodiment, the displacement measuring mechanism 9 in step four includes a magnetic frame and a displacement measuring component. The probe of the displacement measuring component abuts against the end face of the outer ring of the test bearing 5. The displacement measuring component is supported on the measuring platform 8 by the magnetic frame.

[0077] Furthermore, the displacement measuring device is a displacement sensor or a dial indicator.

[0078] The other components and connections are the same as those in specific implementation methods one, two, three, or four.
