[0035] like Figure 1-5 Any one of the vehicle spherical bearing deflection durability test devices includes a loading mechanism 100 for providing an axial loading force to the vehicle spherical bearing to be tested.

[0036] The shaft end of the loading motor 1 of the loading mechanism contacts the first end of the elastic member 5 through the pressure sensor 3. The second end of the elastic member 5 is provided with a test shaft 6. The elastic member 5 is a spring 5 arranged in a spring compartment 4. The first end of the spring compartment 4 is opened so that the spring 5 contacts the pressure sensor 3. The second end of the spring compartment 4 is opened so that the test shaft seat end of the test shaft 6 penetrates into the spring compartment 4 and contacts the spring 5.

[0037] The test shaft 6 is a step structure. The other end of the test shaft 6 is inserted into the bearing seat 7 of the vehicle spherical bearing installation mechanism 200 and contacts the bearing inner ring 10 of the vehicle spherical bearing.

[0038] The large step surface at the left end of the test shaft 6 is nested in the spring magazine 4 and matches the inner diameter of the spring magazine 4 and can slide. The right end of the test shaft 6 matches the bearing inner ring 10 of the vehicle spherical bearing, and the bearing inner ring 10 of the vehicle spherical bearing is locked to the test shaft 6 by a nut; the bearing outer ring 9 of the vehicle spherical bearing is nested in the bearing seat 7, and the bearing seat 7 is a concave spherical structure. The bearing outer ring 9 of the vehicle spherical bearing and the bearing seat 7 can swing along the axial direction.

[0039] The bearing seat 7 is externally fixed by a bearing seat fixing frame 8. The inner side of the bearing seat 7 is in contact with the bearing outer ring 9 of the vehicle spherical bearing.

[0040] The present invention also includes a yaw oscillation mechanism 300 for controlling the yaw frequency of the oscillation main shaft 25. One end of the oscillation main shaft 25 penetrates into the bearing seat 7 through the second connecting shaft 14 and radially contacts the outer ring 9 of the vehicle spherical bearing. The second connecting shaft 14 is fixed by the second bracket 15.

[0041] The angle of the vehicle spherical bearing is controlled by an angle encoder 11 with a first connecting shaft 13 which is arranged symmetrically with the oscillation main shaft 25. The first connecting shaft 13 is fixed by a first bracket 12.

[0042] The left side of the first connecting shaft 13 passes through the upper circular hole of the first bracket 12 and is connected to the angle encoder 11 . A ball bearing 121 is installed inside the upper circular hole of the first bracket 12 to support the first connecting shaft 13 .

[0043] The right side of the second connecting shaft 14 passes through the upper circular hole of the second bracket 15. A ball bearing 151 is installed inside the upper circular hole of the second bracket 15 to support the second connecting shaft 14. The first bracket 12 and the second bracket 15 are fixedly installed on the test bench plate.

[0044] The output motor 16 of the yaw oscillation mechanism is connected to the other end of the oscillation main shaft 25 through a crank rocker mechanism, and the crank rocker mechanism is used to control the yaw frequency of the oscillation main shaft 25. The output motor 16 is fixed by an output motor bracket 19. The oscillation main shaft 25 is fixed by an oscillation main shaft bracket 24.

[0045] The crank rocker mechanism includes a first hinge 17 connected to the output shaft of the output motor 16 through a swing head mounting plate 18, the first hinge 17 is connected to the second hinge 21 through a first connecting rod 20, and the second hinge 21 is connected to the other end of the oscillation main shaft 25 through a rocker 22 and locked by a locking nut 23.

[0046] The output end of the output motor 16 of the yaw oscillation mechanism is concentrically fixedly connected to the swing head mounting plate 18, the swing head mounting plate 18 is provided with a slide groove structure 181, the first hinge 17 is eccentrically installed in the slide groove 181 of the swing head mounting plate through a slider 182, and the swing angle of the rocker 22 is changed by changing the eccentric position of the slider 182 in the slide groove 181. Bearings are installed inside the first hinge 17 and the second hinge 21, and can rotate in a circular direction. The first hinge 17 and the second hinge 21 are connected by a connecting rod 20, the second hinge 21 is connected to the upper part of the rocker 22, and the lower part of the rocker 22 is fixed to the other end of the oscillation main shaft 25 by a locking nut 23, and the frequency of vibration of the oscillation main shaft is controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the output motor 16.

[0047] When working, the loading mechanism drives the loading by controlling the loading motor 1 of the loading mechanism. The load is transmitted to the inner ring 10 of the spherical bearing through the pressure sensor 3, the spring 5, and the test shaft 6, and acts on the outer ring 9 of the bearing and the bearing seat through the steel ball to reach the load on the spherical contact surface of the spherical bearing. The spring 5 has a good buffering capacity and the load is more stable.

[0048] The yaw oscillation mechanism drives the swing head mounting plate 18 to rotate by controlling the output motor 16 of the yaw oscillation mechanism. At this time, the first hinge 17 rotates at a constant speed due to its eccentric structure, and the connecting rod 20 drives the rocker 22 to swing back and forth through the first hinge 17 and the second hinge 21, thereby driving the oscillation main shaft 24 to rotate forward and reverse, and driving the second connecting shaft 14, the bearing seat fixing frame 7 and the bearing seat 8 to rotate forward and reverse, so that the spherical bearing outer ring 9 and the bearing seat 8 can swing along the axial direction of the spherical bearing.

[0049] The fixing of the present invention is not immobile, but relatively fixed.

[0050] The basic principles and main features of the invention and the advantages of the invention are shown and described above.

[0051] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. The above-mentioned embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which shall fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
