Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of industrial parts testing equipment, in particular to a step pin fatigue testing device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of industrial manufacturing, especially in the mechanical transmission and automobile manufacturing industries, the quality and reliability of the step pin as a key connecting component is directly related to the performance and safety of the entire equipment. With the continuous improvement of modern industry's requirements for product quality and the stringent demands for equipment durability and stability, fatigue performance testing of step pins has become crucial. This is not only related to the competitiveness of the company's products, but also closely linked to production safety, equipment maintenance costs and the sustainable development of the industry, prompting the continuous development and improvement of related test technologies.

[0003] At present, there are many problems with the fatigue test technology of stepped pins. Some test equipment has a single function and can only perform simple axial loading tests, which cannot simulate the complex stress conditions in actual working conditions, such as torsion and bending. The test accuracy of some equipment is low, and it is difficult to accurately measure the tiny deformation and wear of the pin during the fatigue process, resulting in inaccurate assessment of the pin life. Moreover, the existing equipment has a low degree of automation, and requires a lot of manual intervention in sample installation, test process control, and data collection. It is not only inefficient, but also easy to introduce human errors, affecting the reliability and consistency of the test results, and it is difficult to meet the efficient and precise production needs of modern industry.

[0004] Traditional step pin fatigue tests usually involve manually installing the pin on a simple fixture, applying a single-direction axial force through hydraulic or mechanical devices, and performing cyclic loading at a certain frequency and amplitude. During the test, the machine is shut down periodically and simple measuring tools are used to measure and record the wear and deformation of the pin, which lacks real-time and accurate monitoring methods. During the entire test process, the adjustment of equipment parameters is also cumbersome, requiring manual operation of various valves and controllers to change the loading force, frequency, etc., and the test conditions cannot be automatically optimized according to the real-time status of the pin. The test efficiency is low and the data accuracy is difficult to guarantee, making it impossible to comprehensively and accurately evaluate the fatigue performance of the step pin.

[0005] The inadequacy of existing technologies in simulating working conditions results in large deviations between test results and actual usage, which may lead to early failure of products in actual applications, increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime. The test accuracy is low, and it is impossible to accurately capture the fatigue damage process of the pin, making it difficult to conduct in-depth research on its fatigue mechanism, which is not conducive to the optimal design of the product. The degree of automation is poor, and manual operations are cumbersome and error-prone, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also prolongs the test cycle and reduces production efficiency. It cannot meet the needs of large-scale, high-quality industrial production for rapid and accurate evaluation of the fatigue performance of step pins, hindering the technological progress and development of related industries.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

In actual use, the step pin shaft is pushed to the slot 14 through the second limit plate 28. At this time, the rotating rod 21 is driven to rotate by the second control motor 23, and then the control turntable 20 is driven to rotate, and then the wear test liner 16 is driven to rotate, and the step pin shaft is friction tested.

[0034] Furthermore, a pair of limiting claws 31 are rotatably arranged in the groove opened in the second limiting plate 28, a rotating connecting piece 30 is arranged on the second limiting plate 28 to cooperate with the limiting claws 31, and a spring 32 is arranged in the second limiting plate 28 to cooperate with the limiting claws 31. The step pin shaft is limited and clamped by the set limiting claws 31, and when the first limiting plate 27 pushes the step pin shaft, the step pin shaft is pushed out, so that the second limiting plate 28 loses its clamping of the step pin shaft.

[0035] A pair of second push rods 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central rotating shaft 1, a first air pump 8 is arranged at the bottom of the second push rod 15, and a first control motor 5 is arranged on the second push rod 15 to cooperate with the central rotating shaft 1. The movement of the second push rod 15 is controlled by the arranged first control motor 5, thereby controlling the position of the central rotating shaft 1.

[0036] The side of the central rotating shaft 1 away from the mounting plate 19 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 6 in cooperation with a plurality of first limit plates 27, and a support frame 7 is provided at the bottom of the guide groove 6, and the guide groove 6 is supported by the support frame 7, and the step pin output of the test is completed through the provided guide groove 6.

[0037] Furthermore, a conveyor belt 9 is arranged at a certain angle at the bottom between the central rotating shaft 1 and the mounting plate 19, and a connecting opening 10 is opened on the conveyor belt 9.

[0038] In actual use, place the step pin fatigue test device in a stable, dry and well-ventilated workplace to ensure that all components are firmly installed without looseness or damage. Check whether the central shaft 1 can rotate flexibly, whether the connection between the connecting plate 4 and the central shaft 1 is tight, whether the guide plate 2 is well fixed, whether the control motors, push rods and limit plates in the feeding structure 3 can work normally, whether the movement of each transmission component is smooth, check whether the test block 13 on the mounting plate 19 and the wear test liner 16, magnetic plate 17 and rotating plate 18 inside are intact, whether the control turntable 20 cooperates with the rotating rod 21 normally, whether the first push rod 12 and the second push rod 15 can be extended and retracted freely, whether the connection and operation of the first air pump 8 and the second air pump 11 are normal, whether the conveyor belt 9 is flat and not damaged, and whether the connecting opening 10 can normally convey the step pin, so as to make full preparations for subsequent test operations;

[0039] Place the step pin to be tested in the connection opening 10 of the conveyor belt 9, start the conveyor belt 9, and convey the step pin to the bottom of the central shaft 1. At this time, the second limit plate 28 is extended under the drive of the third control motor 24, and the limit claw 31 in its groove is opened under the action of the spring 32 to initially clamp the step pin to ensure the accurate position of the pin, and prepare to enter the test phase;

[0040] When the step pin is clamped, the second control motor 23 is started, driving the rotating rod 21 to rotate, and then driving the control turntable 20 to rotate, so that the wear test liner 16 starts to rotate, and the friction test of the step pin is performed. At the same time, according to the test requirements, the movement of the second push rod 15 can be controlled by the first control motor 5 to adjust the position of the central shaft 1, simulate different working conditions, and perform a full range of fatigue tests on the step pin. During the test, pay close attention to the operating status of the equipment and the test status of the pin to ensure the accuracy and safety of the test;

[0041] After the fatigue test of the step pin is completed, the fourth control motor 25 is started, driving the fourth push rod 26 to push the first limit plate 27 out, pushing the step pin out of the second limit plate 28, making it fall into the guide groove 6. Under the action of gravity, the step pin rolls along the guide groove 6 and is finally collected, completing a test cycle. At the same time, the limit claw 31 in the second limit plate 28 is squeezed during the pin push-out process, compressing the spring 32 and shrinking inward, so that the pin can be pushed out smoothly;

[0042] After completing the fatigue test of a batch of step pins, turn off the power of the equipment and clean it thoroughly. Clean the wear debris in the test block 13, check the wear of the wear test liner 16, the magnetic plate 17 and the rotating plate 18, check and maintain the various components in the feeding structure 3, such as lubricating the motor shaft, checking the telescopic performance of the push rod, etc., and check the wear degree of the conveyor belt 9 and the integrity of the connecting opening 10.
