Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of buffer detection, and more specifically, to a buffer life detection device. Background Art

[0002] As a core component in a mechanical system for absorbing impact kinetic energy, the decline in the elastic recovery performance of a buffer directly determines the safety life of the buffer. The current fatigue test methods adopted in the industry (such as those specified in GB / T 15168-2013 "Test Methods for Static and Dynamic Performance of Vibration and Shock Isolators") mostly indirectly evaluate the life through the cumulative number of compressions and the amount of deformation. Most of the current buffer life detection devices used in laboratories are achieved by visual positioning verification, that is, the operator needs to cooperate to observe the physical position of the buffer piston rod after reset, and perform manual visual confirmation through a scale ruler or a limit mark. When detecting in this way, the error is relatively large. For example, when using the visual inspection method, the identification accuracy of displacement deviation is usually greater than 0.5 mm, and for the scale ruler with a graduation value of mostly 1 mm, the detection error is usually within ±0.1 mm, which cannot meet the detection requirements of high-precision buffers (such as aviation hydraulic buffers, precision machine tool buffers, etc.). Moreover, using the above traditional method, it is impossible to accurately judge whether there is a phenomenon of jamming in the buffer.

[0003] After searching, the applicant found that some patent technologies have made some improvements in the direction of accurate detection of buffer reset. For example, the buffer shock test device disclosed in Chinese Patent (CN202442858U), in which the shock platform of the device forms a surface contact with the piston rod of the buffer, and the shock platform is lifted by starting a hydraulic mechanism to squeeze the buffer. Its trigger condition is that the rocker arm is locked with the handle, the lever lock is unlocked by opening a microswitch, the buffer moves in the reverse stroke towards the shock platform, and the electronic stopwatch starts counting; when the shock platform returns to its original position, the electronic stopwatch stops counting; the electronic stopwatch records the instant time of the reverse stroke of the piston rod, and observes whether there are phenomena such as blockage and impact vibration of the piston rod, so as to provide a basis for judging the reverse stroke shock time of the buffer.

[0004] Using the above solution, although the reset situation of the buffer can be detected, since the buffer needs to push the shock platform to detect the reset situation, its application scenario can only be load detection. However, in actual detection, when it is necessary to horizontally compare the reset situations of different models of buffers (evaluating the quality differences between buffers), no-load detection is required. The no-load condition can ensure the unity of test environment variables and better establish a time response curve to evaluate the buffer life. Therefore, the applicant invented a detection device that can detect the reset situation of the buffer at high frequency under no-load conditions and then evaluate the service life of the buffer. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The limiting mechanism and the pressing device are both connected to the hydraulic mechanism. The connecting main pipe and the two connecting branch pipes in the hydraulic mechanism are simultaneously connected to the regulating valve. In this way, the hydraulic mechanism can respectively push the limiting mechanism and the pressing device, so as to successively realize the positioning of the pressing device and the operation of the pressing device to press the buffer; in addition, the hydraulic mechanism is communicated with the oil storage cavity in the annular cylinder, and multiple fixing mechanisms are also communicated with the oil storage cavity. In this way, when the pressing device presses the buffer, the fixing mechanism can fix the buffer under the action of hydraulic pressure.

In this way, under the continuous pressure application of the hydraulic mechanism, the second push rod can first press the buffer, so that the piston rod moves to the maximum stroke, and then the second push rod contracts into the pressing cylinder body, so as to measure the time taken for the piston rod of the buffer to return to the initial position under no-load conditions, and then judge the reset situation of the buffer; in addition, a return pipe with a solenoid valve is arranged between the pressing cylinder body and the connecting rod. The return pipe can make the liquid in the pressing cylinder body flow back into the connecting rod, so that the second push rod returns to the initial position. In this way, the pressing device can repeatedly press the buffer, and combined with the multiple reset situations of the buffer, the quality of the buffer can be evaluated and its service life can be predicted; 3. The bottom of the connecting rod is directly fixedly connected to the fourth push rod. The piston rod of the buffer is pressed to the maximum stroke position through the fourth push rod, and the fourth push rod returns to the initial position under the pushing action of the buffer, so as to detect the reset situation of the buffer with load, and then evaluate the service life of the buffer; 4. In the spherical shell, the rotating sphere is arranged in the spherical shell and is driven to rotate by a stepping motor.

[0023] Refer to Figures 1-11 shown, which is a preferred embodiment provided by the present invention.

[0024] Embodiment 1: A buffer life detection device, including a fixed bracket, as Figure 1 shown, the fixed bracket is mainly composed of a top plate 1, a bottom plate 7 and a plurality of support frames 4. The top plate 1 and the bottom plate 7 are respectively fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the support frames 4. A limiting mechanism is fixedly installed on the top plate 1. The limiting mechanism is used to calibrate the initial state of the buffer 5, as Figure 2 shown, the limiting mechanism is mainly composed of a fixed cylinder body 13, a first spring 24, a first piston 25, a first push rod 14 and a push plate 27; the fixed cylinder body 13 is vertically and fixedly installed on the top plate 1. The first spring 24 and the first piston 25 are both installed in the fixed cylinder body 13. The two ends of the first spring 24 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cylinder body 13 and the first piston 25. The first piston 25 is in sliding and sealing contact with the inner side wall of the fixed cylinder body 13. The bottom surface of the first piston 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the first push rod 14. The bottom of the first push rod 14 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the push plate 27. A pressure sensor 28 is embedded in the bottom surface of the push plate 27. The top of the fixed cylinder body 13 is connected to a hydraulic mechanism. In this embodiment, the hydraulic mechanism pressurizes the hydraulic oil into the fixed cylinder body 13 to push the first piston 25 to move downward, so that the push plate 27 moves to the position where it contacts the piston rod of the buffer 5, and the pressure sensor 28 on the bottom surface of the push plate 27 can receive a relatively small pressure value.

[0025] In order to accurately detect the recovery state of the buffer 5 after being squeezed, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, a hydraulic tank 2 is fixedly sleeved on the first push rod 14. A sealing plate 26 capable of sliding along the internal height direction of the hydraulic tank 2 is arranged inside the hydraulic tank 2, and the sealing plate 26 is in sealed sliding contact with the first push rod 14. Four connecting rods 21 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the sealing plate 26. The bottoms of the four connecting rods 21 all pass through the bottom of the hydraulic tank 2 and are respectively installed with extrusion devices for extruding the buffer 5. The four extrusion devices are distributed as Figure 7 shown. In order to enable the extrusion device to return to the initial position, a third spring 30 is also sleeved on the connecting rod 21. One end of the third spring 30 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 26, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic tank 2. The top of the hydraulic tank 2 is connected to a hydraulic mechanism, and the hydraulic mechanism pressurizes to make the hydraulic oil push the sealing plate 26 to move downward, so that the extrusion device extrudes the piston rod of the buffer 5.

[0026] In order to be able to perform no-load detection on the reset situation of the buffer 5 after extrusion, the extrusion device of this embodiment mainly consists of an extrusion cylinder body 3, a second piston 31, a fourth spring 29, a second push rod 20, a fifth spring 34, a sealing baffle 35, a solenoid valve 33 and a return pipe 32. The extrusion cylinder body 3 is horizontally arranged, and its top surface is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 21. The second piston 31 is slidably arranged inside the extrusion cylinder body 3. One end of the fourth spring 29 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the second piston 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end of the extrusion cylinder body 3. The side surface of the second piston 31 away from the fourth spring 29 is fixedly connected to the second push rod 20. A pressure sensor 28 is embedded in the bottom surface of the second push rod 20, and the bottom surface of the second push rod 20 can be flush with the lower part of the push plate 27. In order to allow the hydraulic oil to enter the extrusion cylinder body 3 to push the second piston 31, the connecting rod 21 in this embodiment is set as a hollow connecting rod 21, whose top is communicated with the space above the sealing plate 26, and the bottom is communicated with the extrusion cylinder body 3. One end of the fifth spring 34 is fixed in the inner side wall of the connecting rod 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the sealing baffle 35. The sealing baffle 35 is in close contact with the inner side wall of the extrusion cylinder body 3 under the pulling force of the fifth spring 34. The sealing baffle 35 and the fifth spring 34 are arranged, and the elastic coefficient of the fifth spring 34 is greater than that of the third spring 30. In this way, under the hydraulic action, the hydraulic oil can first push the sealing plate 26 to move downward. When the piston rod of the buffer 5 is extruded to the maximum stroke position, the hydraulic oil pushes open the sealing baffle 35 under the pressurization of the hydraulic mechanism and enters the extrusion cylinder body 3, and then pushes the second piston 31 to extrude the fourth spring 29, so that the second push rod 20 enters the extrusion cylinder body 3. In this way, when the second push rod 20 is separated from the buffer 5, the reset duration of the buffer 5 can be accurately detected, and then its quality and service life can be evaluated.

[0027] In order to better fix the buffer 5 and prevent the buffer 5 from being displaced due to extrusion, an annular cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 7. During use, the buffer 5 is placed inside the annular cylinder 6. An annular oil storage cavity 15 is formed inside the annular cylinder 6. Four fixing mechanisms are horizontally arranged on the inner side wall of the annular cylinder 6. The four fixing mechanisms are equally-arc-length distributed in the manner as Figure 8 and the fixing mechanisms communicate with the oil storage cavity 15. The fixing mechanism mainly consists of a second fixing cylinder body 18, a second spring 19, a third push rod 16 and a clamping plate 17. The second fixing cylinder body 18 is horizontally arranged, and its end communicates with the oil storage cavity 15. The second spring 19 is installed inside the second fixing cylinder body 18. One end of the second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the second fixing cylinder body, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end of the third push rod 16. The third push rod 16 is in sealing sliding contact with the inner side wall of the second fixing cylinder body 18. The end of the third push rod 16 away from the second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 17. In order to better fit with the buffer 5, the clamping plate 17 is made of an arc-shaped rubber plate. The oil storage cavity 15 is connected to the oil outlet end of the hydraulic mechanism. When hydraulic oil is pressurized into the oil storage cavity 15, the hydraulic oil flows into the second fixing cylinder body 18 and pushes the third push rod 16, so that the four clamping plates 17 fix the buffer 5. The greater the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the oil storage cavity 15, the greater the clamping force of the clamping plate 17 and the more reliable the fixation.

[0028] In this embodiment, the hydraulic mechanism mainly consists of an oil storage tank (not marked in the figure), a hydraulic pump 8, a connecting main pipe 9, a regulating valve and two connecting branch pipes 12. The hydraulic pump 8 and the oil storage tank are both fixed on the bottom plate 7. The liquid inlet end of the hydraulic pump 8 is connected to the oil storage tank, and the liquid outlet end is connected to the connecting main pipe 9 through the oil storage cavity 15. The top of the connecting main pipe 9 is connected to the regulating valve, and the two connecting branch pipes 12 are also connected to the regulating valve at the same time. One of the connecting branch pipes 12 is connected to the hydraulic tank 2 through a vertical telescopic pipe 10, and the other connecting branch pipe 12 is connected to the top of the first fixing cylinder body 13. With the above structural design of the hydraulic mechanism, when pressurizing the limiting mechanism and the extrusion device, the buffer 5 can be clamped and fixed at the same time, and the greater the pressurizing intensity, the better the fixing effect. In addition, when the hydraulic pump 8 stops pressurizing, the hydraulic oil flowing back from the hydraulic tank 2 also has a certain pressure, which can also make the third push rod 16 have a certain pressure and then continuously clamp and fix the buffer 5 with a certain pressure.

[0029] In this embodiment, the regulating valve is adopted as Figure 9Designed in the manner shown, it mainly consists of a spherical shell 11, a rotating sphere 37, and a stepping motor 36. The spherical shell 11 is simultaneously connected to the connecting main pipe 9 and two connecting branch pipes 12. The rotating sphere 37 is rotatably arranged within the spherical shell 11. The output end of the stepping motor 36 is fixedly connected to the rotating sphere 37. An L-shaped channel 23 is formed within the rotating sphere 37. One end of the L-shaped channel 23 is always in communication with the connecting main pipe 9, and the other end is a free end. When the stepping motor 36 drives the rotating sphere 37 to rotate, the free end of the L-shaped channel 23 can be respectively in communication with the two connecting branch pipes 12. When it is necessary for the hydraulic mechanism to push the push plate 27 to make it fit with the hydraulic rod of the buffer 5, the rotating sphere 37 rotates to make the connecting branch pipe 12 connected to the fixed cylinder body one 13 communicate with the L-shaped channel 23. When it is necessary to squeeze the buffer 5, the rotating sphere 37 rotates to make the connecting branch pipe 12 connected to the telescopic pipe 10 communicate with the L-shaped channel 23. After the push plate 27 moves to the designated position, there is no need to turn off the hydraulic pump 8. Just let the L-shaped channel 23 change direction, and then the squeezing device can be pushed. And after changing direction, the hydraulic oil within the fixed cylinder body one 13 is in a sealed state, enabling the push plate 27 to be fixed at the designated position.

[0030] In this embodiment, a controller (not marked in the figure) is also provided, and the controller is used to control each electrical component.

[0031] Working principle: When using this device to detect the buffer 5, place the buffer 5 within the annular cylinder 6 with its piston rod facing upwards. By controlling the stepping motor 36, make the connecting branch pipe 12 on the fixed cylinder body one 13 communicate with the connecting main pipe 9. Subsequently, the hydraulic pump 8 pressurizes, causing the hydraulic oil to sequentially enter the oil storage cavity 15 and the fixed cylinder body one 13. This not only enables the clamping plate 17 to clamp and fix the buffer 5 but also can push the push plate 27 to the designated position, making the push plate 27 fit with the piston rod of the buffer 5. When the pressure sensor 28 on the push plate 27 receives the designated pressure value, the stepping motor 36 drives the rotating sphere 37 to rotate. The hydraulic pump 8 pumps the hydraulic oil above the sealing plate 26 and pushes the sealing plate 26 to move downward, thereby enabling the push rod two 20 of the squeezing device to squeeze the buffer 5 downward. When the piston rod of the buffer 5 moves to the maximum stroke position, at this time, the hydraulic pump 8 continues to pressurize, causing the hydraulic oil to push open the sealing baffle 35 and enter the extrusion cylinder 3, squeezing the spring four 29 by pushing the piston two 31, thereby enabling the push rod two 20 to enter the extrusion cylinder 3. When the push rod two 20 separates from the piston rod of the buffer 5, record the reset situation of the buffer 5 at this time. At this time, the hydraulic pump 8 stops pressurizing, and the sealing plate 26 is subjected to the elastic force of the spring three 30 and returns to the initial position. After the push rod two 20 returns to the initial position, open the solenoid valve 33. The hydraulic oil within the extrusion cylinder 3 enters the connecting rod 21 under the elastic force of the spring four 29, and the push rod two 20 returns to the initial position. Repeat the above operations to achieve the life detection of the buffer 5 under no-load conditions.

[0032] In this embodiment, a buffer life detection method is correspondingly provided, and the specific steps are as follows: S1: When the push plate 27 is pushed to fit with the piston rod of the buffer 5, the pressure sensor 28 on the push plate receives a pressure value as the calibration value at this time; S2: When the second push rod 20 is separated from the piston rod of the buffer 5, the pressure value of the pressure sensor 28 on the push rod is 0 at this time, and the controller records the moment when the pressure value becomes 0 as the 0 moment; S3: When the pressure sensor 28 on the push plate 27 senses the pressure of the piston rod of the buffer 5 again, the controller records this moment and obtains the duration from the 0 moment to this moment; record this duration; at the same time, compare the pressure value received by the pressure sensor 28 with the pressure value in the initial state to observe whether the buffer 5 can return to the initial state; S4: Repeat the operations of S1 - S3, record the recovery duration of the buffer 5 each time and the magnitude of the pressure value received by the push plate 27, and finally evaluate the anti-fatigue ability and service life of the buffer 5.

[0033] Embodiment 2: A buffer life detection device, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown. The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the different extrusion devices. The extrusion device in this embodiment is a horizontally arranged fourth push rod 22. The top surface of the fourth push rod 22 is directly connected to the corresponding connecting rod 21. The connecting rod 21 is a solid rod, and the sleeved third spring 30 is cancelled on the surface of the connecting rod 21. A pressure sensor 28 is also provided on the bottom surface of the fourth push rod 22. A flow sensor is provided at the liquid outlet end of the hydraulic pump 8 or on the main connecting pipe 9. This embodiment mainly conducts life detection on the buffer 5 under the condition of carrying a load.

[0034] Working principle: When the push plate 27 fits with the piston rod of the buffer 5 and has a certain pressure value, at this time, the sealing plate 26 is affected by the hydraulic oil to make the fourth push rod 22 push the piston rod of the buffer 5. When the piston rod of the buffer 5 moves to the maximum stroke position, at this time, the hydraulic pump 8 cannot continue to pressurize, and the flow sensor senses that the flow rate of the hydraulic oil is 0, and at this time, the hydraulic pump 8 stops pressurizing. When the buffer 5 recovers, it pushes the fourth push rod 22 back to the initial position, and finally the piston rod of the buffer 5 fits with the push plate 27. Repeat the above operations to realize the life detection of the buffer 5 under the condition of carrying a load.

[0035] The buffer life detection method correspondingly provided in this embodiment, the specific steps are as follows: S1: When the push plate 27 is pushed to fit with the piston rod of the buffer 5, the pressure sensor 28 on the push plate receives a pressure value as the calibration value at this time; S2: When the controller receives that the flow rate value of the flow sensor is 0, the controller records this moment as the 0 moment; S3: When the pressure sensor 28 on the push plate 27 senses the pressure of the piston rod of the buffer 5 again, the controller records this moment and calculates the time duration from the 0 moment to this moment; record this time duration; meanwhile, compare the pressure value received by the pressure sensor 28 with the pressure value in the initial state to observe whether the buffer 5 can return to the initial state; S4: Repeat the operations of S1 - S3, record the recovery time duration of the buffer 5 each time and the magnitude of the pressure received by the push plate 27, and finally evaluate the anti-fatigue ability and service life of the buffer 5.

[0036] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
