Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seal detection, and particularly to a fatigue life test bench for hydraulic seals. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic seals are the core components of hydraulic systems, mainly used to prevent liquid or gas leakage and ensure the stable operation of the system under complex working conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, and vibration. Fatigue life testing is a key means to evaluate the performance degradation and failure mechanism of seals under cyclic loads, especially for complex working conditions such as high pressure and high-frequency vibration. Fatigue life refers to the number of cycles that a seal undergoes from its initial state to complete failure (such as crack propagation and permanent deformation) under cyclic pressure or mechanical stress.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to simulate the fatigue life of hydraulic seals under the influence of vibration factors during the test, for example, the patent with the publication number CN118224157B in the prior art provides a multi-functional fatigue life testing machine for hydraulic seals. This device can simulate the working state of hydraulic seals and the vibration of the hydraulic cylinder itself during actual use by setting a second motor, a cam, a mounting plate, and a test component. After combining these two factors, the fatigue life of the hydraulic seal is detected through testing, improving the accuracy of the fatigue life detection of the hydraulic seal.

[0004] Although the above prior art solution can achieve the effect of detecting the fatigue life of hydraulic seals under the influence of vibration factors by applying vibration force to the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic seal, the hydraulic seal needs to be installed outside the hydraulic moving plug before the test. The hydraulic moving plug is installed inside the hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic moving plug and the hydraulic rod need to be disassembled from each other to install the hydraulic seal.

[0076] Principle and advantages of the hydraulic seal fatigue life test bench:

[0077] First, after the hydraulic seal 100 is assembled, the drive member 562 in the pushing assembly 56 is started to operate through the electric control cabinet 15 outside the test chamber 1, so that the drive member 562 drives the cam 563 to rotate. The protruding part of the cam 563 drives the connecting rod 565 to move through the fixing pin 564, so that the connecting rod 565 drives the connecting plate 566 at the other end to reciprocate up and down. Furthermore, the connecting plate 566 pushes the driving plate 55 to reciprocate inside the support frame 29. The driving plate 55 drives the push plate 51 to reciprocate up and down inside the support frame 29 through the driving wheel 54, providing push-pull power for the push rod 4 at the bottom, so that the push rod 4 drives the moving plug 3 to reciprocate inside the hydraulic cylinder 2, realizing the sealing fatigue life detection of the hydraulic seal 100 outside the moving plug 3;

[0078] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the test pressure of the hydraulic seal 100, the turntable 59 is rotated to drive the adjusting member 58 to rotate. When the adjusting member 58 rotates inside the support plate 27, it drives the sliding plate 57 to slide along the slide rail 25. The slide rail 25 is fixedly arranged between the side plates 24 on both sides to ensure the sliding stability of the sliding plate 57 and the sliding table 561. When the sliding plate 57 pushes the sliding table 561 to move, the driving distance of the connecting plate 566 to the push plate 51 changes accordingly. In order to prevent overpressure and ensure the smooth progress of the test, a sliding rod 567 is arranged between the connecting plate 566 and the driving plate 55 for movable connection. When the connecting plate 566 slides the driving plate 55 by a certain distance, the push plate 51 starts to generate pressure by pushing the moving plug 3 through the push rod 4. As the connecting plate 566 continues to rise, it will slide with the sliding rod 567, and then squeeze the elastic member 568 to press against the pressure sensor 569. At this time, the pressure received by the hydraulic seal 100 can be judged through the detection result of the pressure sensor 569. When the hydraulic seal 100 loses its sealing performance, the detection result of the pressure sensor 569 will become smaller, so as to facilitate the timely detection of the sealing fatigue life of the hydraulic seal 100.

[0079] When installing and disassembling the hydraulic seal 100, the second driving member 63 is controlled to operate through the electric control cabinet 15, so that the second driving member 63 drives the fixed shaft 62 to rotate, and the fixed shaft 62 drives the hydraulic cylinder 2 to rotate 180° through the support arm 61. At this time, the cylinder sleeve 21 in the hydraulic cylinder 2 drives the sealing cover 22 to rotate from the bottom to the top. At the same time, the sliding table 561 slides close to the baffle 26 along the slide rail 25 by its own gravity, so that the pushing assembly 56 pushes the driving plate 55 to slide a certain distance, and then the push plate 51 pushes the push rod 4 to push the moving plug 3 towards the port of the cylinder sleeve 21. When the hydraulic cylinder 2 stops rotating, the sealing cover 22 is driven away from the cylinder sleeve 21 by the first pushing member 222, so that the sealing gasket 221 releases the seal of the cylinder sleeve 21. Then, the pushing assembly 56 is started to operate, so that the push plate 51 further pushes the push rod 4 to push the moving plug 3 out of the inside of the cylinder sleeve 21, so as to facilitate the removal and installation of the moving plug 3 and the hydraulic seal 100 outside it from the inside of the cylinder sleeve 21;

[0080] After the hydraulic seal 100 is disassembled and installed, the moving plug 3 and the hydraulic seal 100 are pulled into the inside of the cylinder sleeve 21 by the continuous operation of the pushing assembly 56, and then the sealing cover 22 is driven by the first pushing member 222 to be hermetically assembled at the end of the cylinder sleeve 21. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 2 is driven to rotate to the initial state by the rotating assembly 6.

[0081] It should be noted that the above test method has the following advantages:

[0082] Advantage 1: By setting the reciprocating assembly 5 to provide reciprocating power for the push rod 4, the push rod 4 can drive the moving plug 3 to reciprocate inside the hydraulic cylinder 2, so as to realize the sealing fatigue life test of the hydraulic seal 100, and the pressure of the moving plug 3 can be adjusted according to the test requirements, so as to detect the sealing fatigue life of the hydraulic seal 100 under different hydraulic load conditions.

[0083] Advantage 2: By setting the rotating assembly 6 to drive the hydraulic cylinder 2 to flip inside the test box 1, during the flipping process, the pushing assembly 56 increases the pushing distance of the moving plug 3 by its own gravity. After the hydraulic cylinder 2 flips, the pushing assembly 56 can drive the moving plug 3 to drive the hydraulic seal 100 out of the inside of the hydraulic cylinder 2, so as to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the hydraulic seal 100.

[0084] Advantage three, by setting the adjustment member 58 to adjust the height of the slide plate 57, the slide plate 57 drives the pushing component 56 to be located at different heights, so as to adjust the hydraulic load of the movable plug 3. When the hydraulic cylinder 2 is flipped, the pushing component 56 will be located at the top of the baffle 26. At this time, the pushing component 56 drives the movable plug 3 to approach the top of the cylinder sleeve 21 without generating thrust. When the pushing component 56 generates thrust, it automatically pushes the movable plug 3 out, so that the height adjustment of the pushing component 56 will not affect the pushing distance of the movable plug 3 by the pushing component 56.

[0085] Advantage four, by setting up the pressure sensor 569, before conducting the test, after the thrust is applied to the push rod 4 through the pushing component 56, the load of the movable plug 3 is adjusted by adjusting the height of the pushing component 56, so that the connecting plate 566 pushes the elastic member 568 to apply pressure to the pressure sensor 569, and the test load of the movable plug 3 can be obtained based on the initial detection result of the pressure sensor 569, and when the hydraulic seal 100 is fatigued, the change in the detection result of the pressure sensor 569 can reflect that the hydraulic seal 100 has reached the sealing fatigue life.

[0086] Advantage five: by making the cylinder sleeve 21 and the fixed cylinder 23 detachable, and making the push rod 4 and the movable plug 3 detachable, it is convenient to replace the cylinder sleeve 21 and the movable plug 3 of corresponding specifications according to the test requirements, so that the test bench can adapt to different models of hydraulic seals 100.

[0087] When the hydraulic cylinder 2 in the hydraulic seal fatigue life test bench of the present application is turned over, the sealing ball 48 located inside the liquid outlet funnel 44 releases the blockage of the connecting pipe 45 by its own gravity, so that the hydraulic oil inside the cylinder sleeve 21 enters the interior of the storage cylinder 41 through the connecting pipe 45 for storage. As the hydraulic cylinder 2 rotates, it gradually tilts upward, and finally all the hydraulic oil inside the cylinder sleeve 21 is recovered into the interior of the storage cylinder 41, without the need to connect additional hydraulic oil supply equipment;

[0088] And the sealing ball 48 eventually approaches the push rod 4 and falls into the ball groove 410. When the hydraulic cylinder 2 rotates downward to reset more than 90 degrees, the sealing ball 48 is restricted by the ball groove 410 and will not fall into the liquid outlet funnel 44 first. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the storage cylinder 41 gradually flows into the cylinder sleeve 21 through the connecting pipe 45, and the movable plug 3 in the cylinder sleeve 21 automatically slides upward under the influence of the gravity of the pushing component 56, leaving space for the hydraulic oil to be discharged, and the suction force of the movable plug 3 can accelerate the discharge of the hydraulic oil, so as to ensure that the sealing ball 48 discharges the hydraulic oil into the cylinder sleeve 21 before leaving the ball groove 410.

[0089] When the hydraulic cylinder 2 reaches a certain tilt angle, the sealing ball 48 automatically moves from the ball groove 410 to the liquid outlet funnel 44 by its own gravity, and blocks the connecting pipe 45 by its own gravity. The mass of the sealing ball 48 meets the maximum pressure on the hydraulic oil during the test, preventing the hydraulic oil from being squeezed by the moving plug 3 and pushing the sealing ball 48 to move and leak.

[0090] It is worth mentioning that the above flipping method has the following advantages:

[0091] Advantage 1: By providing a storage tube 41, the hydraulic oil inside the cylinder sleeve 21 can be automatically stored during the flipping process. When the hydraulic cylinder 2 is reset, the internal hydraulic oil is automatically discharged for use in subsequent tests. There is no need to add a separate hydraulic oil supply device, which reduces the test cost while ensuring that the hydraulic cylinder 2 can rotate smoothly.

[0092] Advantage two, by arranging a liquid outlet funnel 44 at the bottom of the storage cylinder 41, the liquid outlet funnel 44 facilitates to guide the hydraulic oil inside the cylinder sleeve 21 to the inside of the connecting pipe 45 through the liquid inlet funnel 46 at the bottom, and the connecting pipe 45 can be sealed during the test process through the sealing ball 48 inside the liquid outlet funnel 44 to ensure the sealing of the hydraulic seal 100 during the test process. When the hydraulic cylinder 2 is turned over to install or remove the hydraulic seal 100, the sealing ball 48 automatically releases the blockage of the connecting pipe 45 by its own gravity, so as to automatically recover the hydraulic oil.

[0093] Advantage three, by setting the sealing ball 48 to seal the connecting pipe 45, the sealing ball 48 can automatically release the blockage of the connecting pipe 45 when the hydraulic cylinder 2 flips over, and as the hydraulic cylinder 2 continues to rotate, the sealing ball 48 falls into the ball groove 410. Under the action of the ball groove 410, the sealing ball 48 remains stable during the resetting process of the hydraulic cylinder 2. After the hydraulic oil is discharged into the cylinder sleeve 21, the sealing ball 48 relies on its own gravity to break away from the ball groove 410 and automatically seal the connecting pipe 45, which is more convenient to use.

[0094] Advantage four, by slidingly setting the pushing component 56 between the side plates 24 on both sides, when the hydraulic cylinder 2 rotates downward by an angle exceeding 90°, the hydraulic oil inside the storage tube 41 begins to be discharged into the cylinder sleeve 21, and at the same time, the pushing component 56 relies on its own gravity to reset along the slide rail 25 toward the slide plate 57, so that the pushing component 56 drives the moving plug 3 to slide upward through the push rod 4, thereby automatically making room for the hydraulic oil discharge, and at the same time, negative pressure is generated when the moving plug 3 slides, which is conducive to the rapid discharge of the hydraulic oil inside the storage tube 41, so as to ensure that the hydraulic oil is discharged to the inside of the cylinder sleeve 21 before the sealing ball 48 is separated from the ball groove 410.

[0095] In practical applications, the push plate 51 reciprocates and drives the push rod 4 in the following manner:

[0096] The reciprocating drive of the moving plug 3 is realized by pushing the push rod 4 to reciprocate up and down through the push plate 51. At the same time, the vibration drive 84 at the top of the vibration plate 8 is started, so that the vibration drive 84 drives the eccentric block 85 to rotate, causing the entire vibration plate 8 to vibrate. This vibration is transmitted to the push rod 4 through the bushing 82, and the push rod 4 transmits the vibration to the hydraulic seal 100 outside the moving plug 3, which is used to simulate the fatigue life of the hydraulic seal 100 under vibration conditions. During the vibration of the push rod 4, the second ball 83 at the bottom of the disc 81 rolls inside the bead groove 231 at the top of the fixed cylinder 23, reducing the resistance between the vibration plate 8 and the fixed cylinder 23 and preventing wear. At the same time, the fixed disc 411 at the top of the push rod 4 drives the first ball 412 to roll between the sleeve 52 and the bottom plate 53, ensuring that the push rod 4 is always connected to the push plate 51 while ensuring the vibration state of the push rod 4.
