[0027] The torque sensor 3 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 10 through a fixing member. The fixing member adopts a U-shaped fixing sleeve 15. The housing of the torque sensor 3 is fixed in the space inside the fixing sleeve 15, and the fixing sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 10 through bolts.

[0028] The torque sensor 3 is connected to the control system 16 provided on the platform plate 2, and can transmit the measured friction torque value of the bearing 5 to the control system 16.

[0030] The diameter of the fixed shaft 4 matches the inner diameter of the inner ring of the bearing 5 to be tested. The inner ring of the bearing 5 to be tested can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed shaft 4. The bearing 5 to be tested is a deep groove ball bearing, an angular contact ball bearing, a tapered roller bearing or other bearings that can withstand axial force, and the inner diameter of the bearing 5 is 3 mm - 20 mm.

[0031] In this embodiment, the material of the fixed shaft 4 is No. 45 steel or stainless steel, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown, in order to realize the locking and fixing between the fixed shaft 4 and the inner ring of the bearing 5 to be tested, a ring-shaped boss 17 is provided on the fixed shaft 4. The ring-shaped boss 17 can contact the upper end surface of the inner ring of the bearing 5 to be tested. A retaining ring 18 is also sleeved on the fixed shaft 4.

[0033] The bearing axial loading test device further includes a counterweight 6, which is used to cooperate with the outer ring of the bearing 5 to be tested and apply an axial load to the bearing 5 to be tested.

[0034] The counterweight 6 is made of resin, aluminum, steel or lead block, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs. The counterweight 6 adopts a cylindrical structure. In other embodiments, the counterweight 6 can also adopt a cuboid or cube structure, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs. The weight of the counterweight 6 is 0.1 kg - 5 kg, and the weight of the counterweight 6 can be set according to the test requirements, and no detailed description will be given here.

[0035] A stepped hole is provided through the center of the counterweight 6, and the top end of the stepped hole extends to the top surface of the counterweight 6, and the bottom end extends to the bottom surface of the counterweight 6.

[0036] Along the direction from the top surface to the bottom surface of the counterweight 6, the stepped hole includes a first hole section 601, a second hole section 602 and a third hole section 603 arranged in sequence.

[0037] The diameter of the first hole section 601 is smaller than the diameter of the second hole section 602, and the diameter of the first hole section 601 is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer ring of the bearing 5 to be tested. A stepped structure can be formed between the first hole section 601 and the second hole section 602, and the stepped structure contacts the upper end surface of the outer ring of the bearing 5 to be tested, so that the counterweight 6 can apply an axial load to the bearing 5 to be tested.

[0038] The diameter of the second hole section 602 matches the outer diameter of the outer ring of the bearing 5 to be tested so that the second hole section 602 can be in interference fit with the outer ring of the bearing 5 to prevent slipping between the second hole section 602 and the outer ring of the bearing 5. The diameter of the second hole section 602 can be set according to the outer diameter of the outer ring of the bearing 5, and no detailed description will be given here.

[0039] The diameter of the third hole section 603 is larger than the diameter of the outer ring of the bearing 5 to be tested.

[0040] When the counterweight 6 is assembled with the outer ring of the bearing 5, the counterweight 6 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the outer ring of the bearing 5 along the direction from top to bottom, wherein the second hole section 602 is in interference fit with the outer ring of the bearing 5, and the stepped structure formed by the first hole section 601 and the second hole section 602 cooperates with the upper end surface of the outer ring of the bearing 5.

[0041] Further, since the second hole section 602 is in interference fit with the outer ring of the bearing 5, in order to facilitate the separation of the bearing 5 and the counterweight 6 after the test, a groove 604 is provided on the hole surface of the first hole section 601. The groove 604 is arranged along the axial direction of the stepped hole. The top of the groove 604 extends to the top end of the first hole section 601, and the bottom of the groove 604 extends to the bottom end of the first hole section 601. Through the groove 604, it is convenient for the staff to push the bearing 5 to be tested in the direction from top to bottom, so that the bearing 5 is separated from the counterweight 6.

[0042] Further, at least one set of grooves 604 is provided on the hole surface of the first hole section 601. In this embodiment, one set of grooves 604 is provided on the hole surface of the first hole section 601. This set of grooves 604 includes two oppositely arranged grooves 604, that is, the two grooves 604 are arranged at an interval of 180° along the circumferential direction of the first hole section 601.

[0043] The staff can use tools to pass through the groove 604 to push the bearing 5 out of the counterweight 6, realizing the separation of the bearing 5 and the counterweight 6.

[0044] The bearing axial loading test device further includes a lubricating medium container 7. The top of the lubricating medium container 7 is open. The lubricating medium container 7 adopts a cylindrical container or a cubic container, etc. In this embodiment, the lubricating medium container 7 adopts a cylindrical container. The lubricating medium container 7 is placed on the platform plate 2 and fixed to the platform plate 2 by bolts. Preferably, a rectangular fixing plate is provided at the bottom of the lubricating medium container 7, and long strip holes are provided on both sides of the fixing plate. The lubricating medium container 7 is fixedly connected to the platform plate 2 through the long strip holes and bolts. Through the long strip holes, the position of the lubricating medium container 7 can be adjusted, so that the counterweight 6 and the bearing 5 can enter the interior of the lubricating medium container 7 under the drive of the lifting mechanism.

[0045] The lubricating medium container 7 is used to be placed below the fixed shaft 4 and the torque sensor 3, so that under the action of the lifting mechanism, the counterweight 6 and the bearing 5 can enter the internal space of the lubricating medium container 7.

[0046] The interior of the lubricating medium container 7 is used to hold the lubricating medium. The lubricating medium is water or other corrosive media, which can be selected according to the actual working conditions of the bearing 5. When the lubricating medium adopts a corrosive medium, the fixed shaft 4 is made of 304 stainless steel, avoiding the corrosion damage of the fixed shaft 4.

[0047] Further, as Figure 3As shown, in order to prevent the counterweight 6 from rotating about its own axis during the test, a positioning pin 20 is provided inside the lubricant medium container 7. The positioning pin 20 is inserted into the mounting groove provided on the bottom surface of the lubricant medium container 7. Preferably, a plurality of positioning pins 20 are provided, and the plurality of positioning pins 20 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the lubricant medium container 7. A positioning hole 605 matching the positioning pin 20 is provided on the bottom surface of the counterweight 6. The diameter of the positioning hole 605 is larger than the diameter of the positioning pin 20 so that the positioning pin 20 can be inserted into the positioning hole 605 and is in clearance fit with the positioning hole 605.

[0048] The positioning pin 20 is a cylindrical pin. In other embodiments, the positioning pin 20 can also be a rectangular pin or a pin of other shapes. The shape of the positioning hole 605 matches the shape of the positioning pin 20. Those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs and will not be described in detail herein.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the counterweight 6 enters the lubricant medium container 7, the positioning pin 20 is inserted into the positioning hole 605. The cooperation between the positioning pin 20 and the positioning hole 605 prevents the counterweight 6 from rotating about its own axis.

[0050] Embodiment 2 This embodiment provides a working method of the bearing axial loading test device described in Embodiment 1. The test conditions are as follows: the axial load of the bearing 5 to be tested is 10 N, there is no radial load, the rotational speed of the main shaft 1 is 0 rpm - 8000 rpm, and the lubricant medium is deionized water.

[0051] Lift the power mechanism to the highest position through the handle 12. Use the tap chuck 9 to connect the main shaft 1 with the power shaft of the engraving machine and ensure their coaxiality. Use the first coupling 13 to connect the main shaft 1 with the torque sensor 3. Fix the torque sensor 3 to the lifting plate 10 of the lifting mechanism through the fixing sleeve 15.

[0052] Install the bearing 5 to be tested on the fixed shaft 4. The upper end surface of the inner ring of the bearing 5 contacts the annular boss 17. Use the locking nut 19 to press the retaining ring 18 against the lower end surface of the inner ring of the bearing 5, thus fixing the bearing 5 to be tested to the fixed shaft 4.

[0053] Put the counterweight 6 on the outer periphery of the outer ring of the bearing 5 in the up-down direction. The stepped structure formed by the first hole section 601 and the second hole section 602 contacts the upper end surface of the outer ring of the bearing 5. The outer ring of the bearing 5 is in interference fit with the second hole section 602.

[0054] Connect the top end of the fixed shaft 4 to the torque sensor 3 through the second coupling 14.

[0055] The lifting mechanism drives the fixed shaft 4, the counterweight 6, and the bearing 5 to be tested to move downward, so that the counterweight 6 and the bearing 5 are both immersed in the lubricating medium contained in the lubricating medium container 7 and the positioning pin 20 is inserted into the positioning hole 605. At this time, due to the settings of the first hole section 601 and the third hole section 603, the bearing 5 to be tested is immersed in the lubricating medium.

[0056] Start the power mechanism. The power mechanism drives the inner ring of the fixed shaft 4 and the bearing 5 to be tested to rotate through the torque sensor 3. The outer ring of the bearing 5 does not rotate under the action of the counterweight 6 and the positioning pin 20. The torque sensor 3 real-time collects the friction torque of the bearing 5 to be tested and transmits it to the control system 16. The control system 16 displays the received friction torque information on the display screen.

[0057] With the bearing axial loading test device and working method of this embodiment, an axial load is applied to the bearing 5 through the counterweight 6. Compared with applying an axial load using a hydraulic cylinder, etc., the cost and maintenance technical requirements of the test device are greatly reduced, and it is applicable to the axial loading of bearings with smaller sizes. Moreover, during the test process, the bearing 5 is immersed in the lubricating medium through the third hole section 603 and the first hole section 601. The positioning pin 20 can cooperate with the positioning hole 605 of the counterweight 6 to prevent the counterweight 6 and the outer ring of the bearing 5 from rotating, so that the inner ring of the bearing 5 rotates while the outer ring remains stationary, which can more truly simulate the actual working environment of the bearing 5 and make the test results more accurate.

[0058] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
