One end of the outer spline of the spline shaft 7.1 is connected to the inner spline 9.1 of the main test gearbox 9, and the other end is connected to the inner spline of the spline sleeve 7.2; the spline shaft 7.1 and the spline sleeve 7.2 are designed in a split manner, which is more flexible and less impactful, thereby more effectively protecting the inner spline 9.1 of the main test gearbox 9; the flange of the spline sleeve 7.2 is directly connected to the flange of the universal coupling 5, eliminating the cylindrical shaft head and half coupling of the conventional structure, making the connection more convenient and reliable; the outer circle of the spline sleeve 7.2 is fixed in the bearing seat 7.3 through the bearing 7.4; the flange of the bearing seat 7.3 is engaged with the end face of the main test gearbox 9; the oil seal 7.5 is installed inside the pressure cover 7.6, and the pressure cover 7.6 is fixed to the end face of the bearing seat 7.3.

The flanges of the two gearboxes and the two bearing seat assemblies are connected to the housing 11.1 through the bolt group 11.2. The flange groove 11.1.1 is wider than the installed flange, and an adjustment gasket group 11.3 is set in each gap between the flange groove 11.1.1 and the flange (the gap refers to the gap between the outer edge of the flange and the inner wall of the flange groove 11.1.1). The entire adjustment gasket group 11.3 is composed of a series of gaskets of different thicknesses (the thickness of multiple gaskets in the same group of adjustment gasket groups 11.3 can be different); the total thickness of the adjustment gasket group 11.3 is determined as needed at different positions to adjust the position of each flange. The center line of the two gearboxes will also change with the change of the corresponding flange position, thereby adjusting the meshing of the two open output gears. The box body 11.1 is open and communicated with the outside world. The two open output gears are lubricated with dry oil, and the dry oil can be added in time. Figure 4 As shown, the housing 11.1 is provided with two connected through holes, and the two open output gears are respectively installed in the two through holes, and the two through holes are connected to form a transverse 8-shaped through hole.

The outer bearing 1 of the open output gear of the test gearbox 10 is lubricated with dry oil.

[0049] Working method of the present invention: The main test motor assembly 1 consumes electrical energy to provide kinetic energy to the device; the kinetic energy is transmitted to the main test gearbox 9 through the torque meter 3, the universal coupling 5, the input shaft assembly 7 and other components, and the kinetic energy is transmitted to the accompanying test gearbox 10 through the meshing of the open output gears at the ends of the two gearboxes. The accompanying test gearbox 10 can restore the reduced speed of the main test gearbox 9 to the original value; the kinetic energy is transmitted to the accompanying test motor assembly 2 through the input shaft assembly 2 8, the universal coupling 2 6, the torque meter 2 4 and other components, and the accompanying test motor assembly 2 converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy to realize an energy closed loop.

[0050] The present invention requires two identical gearboxes to be tested simultaneously, one driven as the main tester and the other loaded as the companion tester, and then the two exchange roles. This type of gearbox cleverly meshes the originally inaccessible open output gears directly by making tooling such as outer flanges to transmit torque. The torque meters on both sides respectively feedback the input and output force parameters in real time, thereby completing various tests of the gearbox.

[0051] The present invention can realize the meshing torque transmission of the open output gears of the gear boxes of the two lifting units without arranging an idler wheel, has a lower test cost, and is more conducive to testing the actual efficiency of the gear box.

[0052] The present invention can solve the problem that the open output gears of the two lifting unit gearboxes cannot directly mesh and transmit torque during the towing test, so that the gearboxes can be independently loaded on a conventional test bench and the reliability of the gearboxes can be improved. By cleverly arranging the two gearboxes to be tested, the direct meshing and torque transmission of the two open output gears is achieved, and no related parts such as idler wheels are added. The box body is designed in an integrated manner, the structure is simple, and it is easy to produce.

[0053] The present invention enables the gearbox to be independently subjected to loading tests on a conventional test bench, including fatigue tests, static load tests, etc., and can simulate actual working conditions, inspect temperature, vibration, lubrication, sealing, gear meshing and other items, and improve reliability and safety. The prior art is more inclined to measure the performance of the meshing between the open output gear and the rack of the gearbox and the static load test of the gearbox, and cannot simulate the long-term fatigue loading test inside the gearbox.

[0054] The invention is suitable for the lifting unit gearbox products of offshore drilling platforms, etc. The invention realizes the conventional back-to-back installation and loading of two gearboxes, and has advanced technology.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
