Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of model analysis, and in particular to a high cycle fatigue life analysis method based on static simulation of a spinning pulley. Background Art
[0002] Pulleys are an important transmission part, widely used in various mechanical equipment such as aerospace, engineering machinery, agricultural machinery, automobiles, machine tools, etc. In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional processes and realize the lightweight design of pulleys, in recent decades, countries around the world have been committed to the research of advanced pulley forming technology - spinning technology. The pulleys produced using this technology have the advantages of smooth transmission, high precision, material saving, high production efficiency, environmental protection, and long service life. Its related technical research has long attracted widespread attention and achieved considerable scientific research results. However, due to the alternating loads during the transmission power and motion process, the main failure mode of spinning pulleys is fatigue failure, and fatigue failure is relatively hidden, and often no obvious deformation will occur before the damage, which can easily lead to serious safety accidents and is difficult to prevent.
[0003] At present, fatigue tests on spun pulleys mainly involve hanging the pulleys and rotating them until microcracks appear. This fatigue test is not only time-consuming, labor-intensive and material-intensive, but also has a long measurement cycle. Therefore, some studies have used spun pulleys as research objects, and used limit stress diagrams to derive the fatigue safety operating range of plastic parts with both bending and shear deformations and the fatigue safety factor calculation formula under the composite stress state, and calculated its fatigue safety factor with the help of finite element calculation results. With the help of fatigue safety factors, we can determine whether the pulley has fatigue failure, which is of great significance for the judgment and determination of the fatigue life of the pulley.

The application of this technical solution can more intuitively obtain the stress conditions of the spinning pulley under actual working conditions, and can more accurately calculate the fatigue life of the spinning pulley, which is helpful to provide a reliable reference data basis for the development of a spinning pulley with excellent fatigue service performance.
