Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of actuator testing tooling, and in particular relates to a dynamic torque testing bench. Background Art

[0002] The active stroke of the angular stroke actuator is generally 0~90°. In order to detect the active torque of the angular stroke actuator at different angles, it is necessary to test it. However, the existing detection method is static torque test, which generally fixes the angular stroke actuator to one end of the torque sensor, and the other end of the torque sensor is also fixedly connected, and then the angular stroke actuator is rotated to obtain the torque; specifically, if the angular stroke actuator is adjusted to the 25° position, the torque sensor is also adjusted to the 25° position, and the angular stroke is rotated, the torque at the current angle can be obtained.

[0003] Therefore, in the torque detection of the angular stroke actuator, generally only the torque values ​​at several angle points can be obtained, and a complete torque curve cannot be obtained. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a dynamic torque test bench for solving the technical problem that the existing torque detection equipment can only obtain the angular stroke actuator torque of several angles but cannot obtain a complete torque curve of 0~90°. The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problem is as follows: a dynamic torque test bench, comprising: A horizontal frame, wherein a rotating shaft cavity and a resistance cavity are arranged in parallel in the horizontal frame; A central shaft, the central shaft is vertically and rotatably arranged in the rotating shaft cavity; A lever arm assembly, wherein the lever arm assembly is symmetrically arranged on the central axis and fixedly connected to the central axis; A resistance component, wherein the resistance component is arranged in the resistance cavity, and two output ends of the resistance component extend into the rotating shaft cavity, and the two output ends are respectively hinged to two ends of the force arm component; A torque sensor, the torque sensor is fixedly arranged on the top end of the central shaft; The sensor upper flange shaft is fixedly connected to the upper end of the torque sensor, and the sensor upper flange shaft is higher than the horizontal frame. The sensor upper flange shaft is used to connect the angular stroke actuator.

[0005] In the present invention, the central axis, the torque sensor and the flange axis on the sensor can be regarded as a whole, and the torque sensor can rotate synchronously with the central axis; the resistance component can provide resistance to the central axis through the lever arm component to prevent the central axis from rotating, and then the angular stroke actuator will also apply a force to drive the central axis to rotate. The two forces are in opposite directions, and the resistance can be maintained unchanged for a certain period of time. Then the force of the angular stroke actuator will act on the torque sensor, and the torque value of the angular stroke actuator at the current angle can be obtained; finally, the resistance component can adjust the position of the central axis through the lever arm component, so that the central axis can stay at any angle between 0 and 90 degrees, and a complete torque curve of the angular stroke sensor at 0 to 90 degrees can be obtained.

[0006] Furthermore: the resistance assembly includes two oil cylinders, the tail ends of the oil cylinders are hinged to the side walls of the resistance chamber, and the head ends of the oil cylinders are hinged to the two ends of the force arm plate assembly.

[0007] The beneficial effect of adopting this step is that the oil cylinder can rotate the power arm assembly by alternately extending and retracting, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the angular position of the central axis.

[0008] Further: the arm assembly includes at least two arm plates, a through hole is opened in the center of the arm plate, and a plurality of fixing holes are opened around the through hole, and the through hole is sleeved on the central axis; A corresponding connecting flange is provided on the central axis, and the connecting flange is screwed to the plurality of fixing holes; Two hinge shafts, the two hinge shafts are respectively arranged at two ends of the lever arm plate, and the hinge shafts are located between the two lever arm plates; The head end of the oil cylinder is connected to the hinge shaft through a spherical bearing.

[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting this step are as follows: the double-layer lever arm plate can ensure the structural rigidity, while the articulated shaft and the spherical bearing can ensure the smoothness of rotation, thereby avoiding affecting the accuracy of the torque test results.

[0010] Further: the lower end of the torque sensor is further provided with a sensor lower flange, the lower end of the sensor lower flange is provided with a first claw, and the upper end of the central shaft is provided with a second claw adapted to the first claw; A core rod is also provided between the lower flange of the sensor and the central axis, and two ends of the core rod are respectively inserted into the lower flange of the sensor and the central axis.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting this step are as follows: through the active connection method of plugging the first claw and the second claw, the torque sensor and the flange shaft on the sensor can be quickly replaced so as to be connected to angular stroke actuators of different specifications, thereby facilitating the testing of angular stroke actuators of different specifications; and the mandrel is used to ensure the coaxiality of the lower flange of the sensor and the center axis to prevent the deviation of the lower flange of the sensor from affecting the test results.

[0012] Furthermore, a shift fork connecting flange is provided on the upper top surface of the horizontal frame at a position corresponding to the central axis, and the shift fork connecting flange does not interfere with the torque sensor and the flange shaft on the sensor.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting this step is that the top surface of the fork connection flange is used as a bearing surface to bear the angular stroke actuator, thereby preventing the deadweight of the angular stroke actuator from affecting the connection stability between the output shaft of the angular stroke actuator and the flange shaft on the sensor.

[0014] Furthermore: an upper bearing seat and a lower bearing seat are provided at both ends of the central shaft, and the lower bearing seat is embedded in the bottom of the rotating shaft cavity; The upper bearing seat is embedded in the rotating shaft cavity.

[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting this step are as follows: the central shaft is provided with an upper bearing seat and a lower bearing seat, which allows the central shaft to rotate freely, without obstruction and without noise; and the upper bearing seat is embedded in the shaft cavity to shorten the distance between the upper bearing seat and the lower bearing seat, thereby shortening the total length of the central shaft and improving the shear resistance of the central shaft.

[0016] Furthermore: the central axis is a hollow tube.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting this step: the hollow tube is to reduce the weight of the central shaft.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The rotation position of the central axis is adjusted through the resistance component to achieve continuous position change from 0 to 90 degrees. Then the resistance component provides resistance to prevent the central axis from rotating. At this time, the output shaft of the angular stroke actuator rotates to obtain the torque of the corresponding angle. Finally, the complete torque curve of the angular stroke actuator from 0 to 90 degrees can be summarized. 2. The torque sensor is movably connected to the central shaft through the lower flange of the sensor, which can realize the purpose of quickly replacing the torque sensor and the upper flange shaft of the sensor, and adapt to more specifications of angular stroke actuators; and this structure can also improve the detection efficiency when multiple specifications of angular stroke actuators are detected together; 3. Compared with the angle adjustment structure in which two relatively moving racks rub the gear shaft, the resistance component composed of the oil cylinder and the angle adjustment structure composed of the lever arm component are more compact and space-saving.
