Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of clamps, and in particular to a multifunctional gear testing device, which is used for fixing a coal mining machine cylinder, thereby facilitating the gear seat welding of the cylinder of the coal mining machine drum. Background Art

[0002] Gear transmission is a common mechanical transmission method, which transmits power and motion through gear meshing pairs. It has the characteristics of precise transmission ratio, high efficiency, wide application range, large load-bearing capacity, and long life. There are many types of gears, and common types include spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, worm gears, etc. In order to ensure that the gears can work smoothly and achieve the expected performance, it is often necessary to conduct various tests on the gears in the research and development, production, and inspection links.

[0003] Common tests on gears include static tests and dynamic tests. Static tests mainly include tooth static stiffness tests, etc.; dynamic tests mainly include dynamic fatigue endurance tests, wear fatigue tests, efficiency tests, NVH vibration tests, impact tests, environmental adaptability tests, contact meshing tests, etc.

[0004] At present, common gear test devices can often meet the conventional test requirements such as fatigue endurance test and wear fatigue test, but often a form of gear often requires a special machine for testing, and there are few multifunctional test devices that are compatible with multiple gear transmission forms and test items. At present, many scholars and manufacturers have designed and developed a variety of gear test benches. Among them, the "A spiral bevel gear test device for dynamic and quasi-static tests" of Chinese patent number CN109738184A published on May 10, 2019 can perform static transmission error, tooth surface contact mark, vibration characteristics, tooth root stress and other tests on spiral bevel gears. The test device applies the mechanical power closure principle and adopts a modular design, but the mechanical power closure design principle requires that the mechanical transmission system needs to be connected into a closed loop. Therefore, the device can only adapt to single-angle bevel gear tests and cannot have good adaptability to variable-angle bevel gears and cylindrical gears.

[0005] Chinese patent number CN106525419A published on March 22, 2017, "A comprehensive test bench for high-power cylindrical gears with steplessly adjustable center distance", provides a test bench with adjustable center distance for high-power cylindrical gears. The test bench also combines the principle of mechanical power closure and adapts to gears with different center distances by configuring a bearing seat slide and a companion test gear that is the same as the test gear. When testing different test pieces, different test boxes need to be equipped, and the test switching cost is relatively high. In addition, the adjustment of the gear is limited to the adjustment of the center distance, and adjustments such as axis deflection cannot be made.

[0006] In summary, the existing gear test bench cannot quickly and accurately adjust the axis angle, axial, radial and other axis positions dynamically and statically, and cannot quickly and cost-effectively adapt to the problems of gear series with different center distances and axis angles. Summary of the invention

By controlling the loading torque and the dynamic change control of the axis, it can realize torsional fatigue, dynamic vibration NVH and other tests, and has an environmental simulation test chamber, which can meet the sealing of gear lubrication test, and can integrate high and low temperature, salt spray and other environmental simulation test functions.

[0012] Furthermore, the energy feedback loading transmission system also includes a gear quick installation mechanism, and the upper part of the driving shaft and the lower part of the driven shaft are connected to the test gear pair through the gear quick installation mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the lower platform has a hollow table-shaped column.

[0014] Preferably, the environmental simulation test chamber is a chamber with a flexible and deformable structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the environmental simulation test chamber is sealed and installed between the upper platform and the lower platform.

[0016] Furthermore, the number of the plurality of posture adjustment actuators is 6, two of which form a pair, the upper end and the lower end of each pair of posture adjustment actuators are hinged to the upper platform and the lower platform, and each posture adjustment actuator is retractable.

[0017] Furthermore, the upper parts of each pair of posture adjustment actuators are arranged opposite to and close to each other, and the lower parts of each pair of posture adjustment actuators are arranged toward both sides, so that a triangle is formed between each pair of posture adjustment actuators and the lower platform.
