Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of development, design and testing of reducers, and in particular to a variable wheelbase and shaft length transmission box for a reducer test bench. Background Art

[0002] Before a reducer leaves the factory, it must be installed on a test bench and tested at full power. Because the distance between the input shaft and the flange surface, as well as the distance between the input shaft end and the output shaft, varies with reducer specifications, testing each reducer requires designing and manufacturing a matching transmission case, which is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a variable wheelbase and shaft length transmission case for use on a reducer test bench. This would accommodate testing of all reducers within a specified specification range, reduce testing costs, and shorten testing cycles. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention proposes a variable wheelbase and shaft length transmission box for a reducer test bench. By adjusting the screw handle, this test box can adapt to the distance between the input shaft and the flange surface, and the distance between the input shaft end and the output shaft of different reducers, and perform operation tests under full load conditions.

The middle part of the surface is machined with an idler wheel shaft retainer convex end 32; gear assembly 2 40 is composed of idler wheel 2 41, gear assembly 2 retainer 42, output gear 43, and internal spline main shaft 44; the spindle assembly 50 is composed of a coupling 51, an external spline main shaft 52, an external spline main shaft traction screw and a handle 53; the movable box assembly 70 is composed of T-slot fastening bolts and nuts 71, a movable box body 72, a movable box traction screw nut 74, an external spline main shaft traction screw frame 75, an external spline main shaft traction screw half nut 76, and a screw clamping plate 77. Box guide grooves 74 are machined in the upper and lower middle parts of the movable box 73; Furthermore, the fixed box body 12 is fixed to the upper surface of the bracket frame 13 by bolts, the connecting plate 15 is fixed to the left side of the bracket frame 13 by bolts, and the reducer 60 to be tested is fixed to the left side of the connecting plate 15 by bolts; the movable box body traction screw and handle 11 are located on the top of the fixed box body 12 and can only rotate but not move; Furthermore, the input shaft 24 of the gear assembly 1 20 is connected to the bracket frame 13 via relevant bearings and can only rotate but not move. The input shaft 24 and the input gear 21 are connected as a whole via a flat key. When the wheelbase between the main shaft assembly 50 and the input shaft 24 is adjusted, the gear assembly 1 retainer 22 can rotate a certain angle around the input gear 21, and the idler gear 1 23 is engaged with the input gear 21. Furthermore, the idler axle 1 31, the idler axle holder 33, and the idler axle 2 34 of the idler axle assembly 30 are fixed together. The idler gear 1 23 rotates around the idler axle 31 via a bearing. When the wheelbase between the main shaft assembly 50 and the input shaft 24 is adjusted, the gear assembly 1 holder 22 can rotate at a certain angle around the idler axle 1 31. Furthermore, the idler gear 41 rotates around the idler gear shaft 34 via a bearing and meshes with the output gear 43. The output gear 43 is connected to the internal spline main shaft 44 via a flat key. When adjusting the wheelbase between the main shaft assembly 50 and the input shaft 24, the gear assembly 2 retainer 42 can rotate at a certain angle around the idler gear shaft 34.

After the adjustment is completed, tighten the bolts; Furthermore, the idler axle holder convex end 32 is stuck in the box guide groove 73 inside the box body, so that the idler axle assembly 30 can only move along the fixed track. When adjusting the wheelbase of the main shaft assembly 50 and the input shaft 24, the idler axle assembly 30 rotates at a certain angle with the idler axle holder convex end (31) as the center and moves a maximum of 70 mm. The movable box traction screw nut 74 is welded and fixed to the top surface of the fixed box body 12, and cooperates with the movable box traction screw and the handle 11.

The upper part of the frame is processed with an external spline spindle traction screw half nut 76, and the other half is replaced by a screw clamping plate 77. This half nut cooperates with the external spline spindle traction screw and the handle 53. When the external spline spindle traction screw and the handle 53 are rotated, the spindle assembly 50 can be moved up and down. When the two bolts on the screw clamping plate 77 are tightened, the external spline spindle traction screw and the handle 53 can be locked. Furthermore, the soft box 80 connects the fixed box 12 and the movable box body 72 and is retractable to prevent the lubricating oil from leaking; The beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in: This invention designs a variable wheelbase and shaft length transmission box for a reducer test bench. By adjusting the lead screw handle, the test bench can adapt to the distance between the input shaft and flange surface, and the distance between the input shaft end and the output shaft, for different reducers, allowing for full-load operation testing.

[0006] When a new reducer needs to be tested, first drill a new connection hole on the connecting plate, install the new reducer on it with bolts, and ensure that the output shaft of the reducer is coaxial with the center hole of the connecting plate.

[0007] 2. Loosen the T-slot fastening bolts and nuts, and loosen the fastening bolts on the screw clamping plate.

[0008] 3. Turn the movable box traction screw and handle. The screw cooperates with the movable box traction screw nut to move the movable box assembly horizontally. When the main shaft assembly is coaxial with the input shaft of the reducer being tested, tighten the T-slot fastening bolts and nuts. According to the design, the horizontal movement range of the main shaft assembly is 0-140mm.

[0009] 4. Turn the external spline spindle traction screw and handle, which can move the coupling axially. After the coupling and the input shaft of the reducer to be tested are connected, tighten the fastening bolts on the screw clamp to fix the external spline spindle traction screw and handle. According to the design, the axial movement range of the external spline spindle is 0-390mm.

[0010] The transmission process of the five-piece transmission box is as follows: the external motor transmits power to the input gear, and the input gear engages with the idler wheel 1, idler wheel 2, and output gear in sequence. Since the convex end of the idler wheel shaft retainer is stuck in the box guide groove of the movable box body, it can move in the horizontal direction and can rotate at a small angle. Therefore, when the distance between the center axis of the input gear and the center axis of the main shaft assembly changes, it can still ensure that the power is transmitted to the internal spline main shaft with almost no loss. The internal spline main shaft then transmits the power to the external spline main shaft, and finally transmits it to the input shaft of the reducer being tested through the coupling.

[0011] It should be understood that the detailed description of the technical solutions of the present invention using the preferred embodiments above is illustrative and not restrictive. A person skilled in the art, after reading the present specification, may modify the technical solutions described in the embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents, and such modifications or replacements do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
