DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0036] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that if the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc. appear to indicate an orientation or position relationship, they are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientation or position relationship in which the product of the invention is usually placed when used. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0039] In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish between the descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0041] In the prior art, since the rated power of some models of twin-screw plastic extruder gearboxes is relatively large, when performing a gearbox loading test, the motor combination cannot provide sufficient power to operate the gearbox at the rated power, and the gearbox cannot be loaded and tested using the rated power loading method. Therefore, the parameters obtained from the loading test of the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox in the prior art are not the relevant parameters under the rated power, and the reliability of the parameter results obtained from the loading test is poor.

[0042] In view of this, the designer provides a twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox loading test method, which conducts rated speed loading test and rated torque loading test on the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox respectively. The combination of the parameters obtained by the two can fully reflect the data of the rated power loading test, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results, and has high reference value and guiding significance.

[0043] This embodiment provides a twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox loading test method, which includes the following steps:

[0044] Step s100, performing a rated speed loading test on the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox;

[0045] Step s200, performing a rated torque loading test on the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox.

[0046] It should be noted that the above two steps are only for the convenience of description, and the order of the two steps is not specifically limited. Step s100 can be first, or step s200 can be first.

[0047] As described above, the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox loading test method of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0048] By performing a rated speed loading test and a rated torque loading test on the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox respectively, the test difficulty can be reduced, and the power requirement of the driving device 100 for the loading test can be reduced compared to directly performing a rated power loading test on the gearbox 001 to be tested. When performing a rated speed loading test on the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox, relevant parameters such as the bearing and lubricating oil temperature rise, operating noise, and current loading efficiency of the gearbox 001 to be tested can be obtained; by performing a rated torque loading test on the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox, relevant parameters such as gear meshing spots, full load vibration, and current loading efficiency can be obtained. The combination of the relevant parameters obtained by the rated torque loading and the rated speed loading is basically consistent with the parameters that can be obtained by the rated power loading, so that the faults existing in the transmission components of the gearbox 001 to be tested can be effectively obtained, and the improved design of the gearbox can be provided with guiding significance.

[0049] The details of the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox loading test method of the embodiment of the present application are described below by way of example.

[0050] Optionally, in step s100, multiple first drive motors are connected in series, and multiple first drive motors matched in series output torque and speed to the input shaft 011 of the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox. By connecting multiple first drive motors in series, a larger input power can be obtained, thereby meeting the requirements of the loading test for speed conditions.

[0051] Optionally, in step s100, multiple first loading motors are connected in series, and the multiple first loading motors connected in series output torque to the output short shaft 012 of the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox. Multiple first loading motors are connected in series to obtain greater loading power, thereby meeting different loading test requirements.

[0052] Optionally, in step s200, multiple second drive motors are connected in series, and the multiple second drive motors matched in series are connected to the output test gearbox, and the output test gearbox is used to transmit the torque to the input shaft 011 of the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox. By connecting multiple second drive motors in series and matching the output test gearbox, a larger input torque can be obtained by decelerating and increasing the torque, thereby meeting the torque condition requirements of the loading test.

[0053] Optionally, in step s200, multiple second loading motors are connected in series, and multiple second loading motors connected in series output torque to the output short shaft 012 of the twin-screw plastic extruder gearbox. Multiple second loading motors connected in series can obtain greater loading power, thereby meeting different loading test requirements.

[0054] It should be noted that the rated speed loading and rated torque loading tests are conducted separately, which reduces the difficulty of the loading test and the requirements of the loading test on the drive motor and the loading motor, thereby reducing the processing and manufacturing costs. That is, compared with the rated power loading, the power of the drive motor required for the rated speed loading and the rated torque loading can be designed to be lower, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and the operating cost. Similarly, compared with the rated power loading, the power of the loading motor required for the rated speed loading and the rated torque loading can be designed to be lower, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and the operating cost.

After the multiple first motors 110 connected in series are started, the gearbox 001 to be tested is operated at the rated speed.
