[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the implementation regulations described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] See also Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a needle roller bearing fatigue life testing machine, comprising a workbench 1, a groove 2 is provided on the outer surface of the workbench 1, an adjusting load component 3 for applying a load to the needle roller bearing is arranged inside the groove 2, the adjusting load component 3 comprises a round block 301, eight evenly arranged round holes 302 are provided on the outer surface of the round block 301, four evenly arranged threaded holes 303 are provided on the outer surface of the round block 301, the inner walls of the eight round holes 302 are all slidably connected with first sliding rods 304, the eight first sliding rods 304 are grouped into two, one end of each group of first sliding rods 304 is fixedly connected with a moving block 305, the inner walls of the four threaded holes 303 are all threadedly connected with threaded rods 306, the inner walls of the four threaded rods 306 are all provided with springs 307, and one end of the four springs 307 is fixedly connected with The first slider 308 and the other ends of the four springs 307 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the four threaded rods 306, the outer surfaces of the four first sliders 308 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the four threaded rods 306, the inner walls of the four threaded rods 306 are all slidably connected with the second sliders 309, one end of the four second sliders 309 is respectively provided with a first pressure sensor 310, the outer surfaces of one side of the four first sliders 308 are in contact with the outer surfaces of the four first pressure sensors 310, the other ends of the four second sliders 309 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the four moving blocks 305, a first sliding groove 311 is provided on the outer surface of one side of the round block 301, and a first motor 4 is provided on the outer surface of one side of the workbench 1, the output end of the first motor 4 is fixedly connected to the first output shaft 5, and one end of the first output shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6.
[0022] In this embodiment, when the needle roller bearing fatigue life testing machine is in operation, the staff needs to sleeve the inner wall of the needle roller bearing on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6. At this time, the outer surface of the needle roller bearing is in contact with the outer surface of the four moving blocks 305. When the outer surface of the needle roller bearing is in contact with the outer surface of the moving block 305, the needle roller bearing will squeeze the outer surface of the moving block 305. When the moving block 305 is squeezed, it will drive the outer surface of the connected first sliding rod 304 to slide along the inner wall of the circular hole 302, and at the same time drive the outer surface of the second sliding rod 309 to slide along the inner wall of the threaded rod 306. When the second sliding rod 309 slides, it will drive the first pressure sensor 31 0 moves, the first pressure sensor 310 will drive the outer surface of the first slider 308 to slide along the inner wall of the threaded rod 306 to squeeze the spring 307. After the needle bearing is installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6, the staff can rotate the threaded rod 306. The threaded rod 306 will drive the spring 307 to rotate during the rotation. The spring 307 will drive the first slider 308 to rotate under the action of its own elastic force. The threaded rod 306 will rotate along the outer surface of the second slide bar 309 and at the same time drive the outer surface of the first slide bar 304 to slide along the inner wall of the circular hole 302. Since the outer surface of the moving block 305 has been in contact with the outer surface of the needle bearing, The spring 307 fits in place, so when the threaded rod 306 rotates along the threaded hole 303, the moving block 305 will squeeze the spring 307, and the elastic force of the spring 307 itself will apply the squeezing force to the first slider 308. The force exerted on the first slider 308 will be exerted on the first pressure sensor 310 and the second slide bar 309. The force exerted on the second slide bar 309 will be transmitted to the moving block 305, thereby driving the moving block 305 to apply a radial load to the outer surface of the needle roller bearing. By rotating the threaded rod 306 at different distances, different radial loads will be applied to the outer surface of the needle roller bearing. Through the contact between the moving block 305 and the outer surface of the needle roller bearing, the staff can By rotating the threaded rod 306, the threaded rod 306 will drive the spring 307 to apply different forces to the first slider 308. The force applied to the first slider 308 will act on the second slider 309 through the first pressure sensor 310, and then act on the moving block 305 through the second slider 309, so that the moving block 305 will apply different radial loads to the needle roller bearing. This solves the problem that most existing life testing machines apply the same force when applying radial loads to the outer surface of the needle roller bearing, while the outer surface of the needle roller bearing will be subjected to different radial loads at the same time during actual use, which will reduce the reliability of the test results of the needle roller bearing fatigue life testing machine.
[0023] like Figure 1-8As shown, a first fixed block 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1 near the edge of one side of the groove 2, the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first fixed block 7, and a heating block 8 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 6.
[0024] In this embodiment, when the staff needs to install the inner wall of the needle roller bearing with the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6, the inner wall of the needle roller bearing and the rotating shaft 6 are usually installed in an interference fit manner. Interference fit refers to the assembly of mechanical parts in which the size of the inner ring and the inner part is larger than the size of the outer ring and the outer part. During assembly, a certain pressure needs to be applied and the outer ring and the inner part need to be heated to cause elastic deformation of the inner and outer parts, thereby achieving a tight connection. At this time, the staff needs to first place the inner wall of the needle roller bearing on the outer surface of the heating block 8 and start the heating block 8 to increase the temperature of the needle roller bearing itself. When the temperature of the needle roller bearing rises, its own material will expand, so that the inner wall of the needle roller bearing can be easily sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6. When the temperature of the needle roller bearing drops, its own material will shrink, so that the inner wall of the needle roller bearing and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6 are tightly connected. By first placing the inner wall of the needle roller bearing on the heating block 8 for heating, the needle roller bearing will expand after being heated according to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, so that the staff can easily sleeve the needle roller bearing on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6, ensuring the convenience of the needle roller bearing fatigue life testing machine when installing needle roller bearings.
[0025] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the inner wall of the groove 2 is fixedly connected with a second slider 9, the outer surface of the second slider 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slide groove 311, the outer surface of the other side of the round block 301 is fixedly connected with a gear row 10, the bottom of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected with a second fixed block 11, the outer surface of the second fixed block 11 is provided with a second motor 12, the output end of the second motor 12 is fixedly connected with a second output shaft 13, the outer surface of the second output shaft 13 is fixedly sleeved with a gear 14, the outer surface of the gear 14 is meshed with the outer surface of the gear row 10, the bottom of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected with a third fixed block 15 near the edge of the groove 2, the outer surface of the second output shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the third fixed block 15, and the outer surface of the other side of the workbench 1 is provided with a hydraulic rod 16, one end of the hydraulic rod 16 is fixedly connected to an axial load block 17, and the inner wall of the axial load block 17 is provided with a second pressure sensor 18.
[0026] In this embodiment, during the operation of the needle roller bearing fatigue life testing machine, after the needle roller bearing is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6, the load adjustment component 3 is started to apply different radial load forces on the outer surface of the needle roller bearing, and the first motor 4 is started. The first motor 4 will drive the first output shaft 5 to rotate, and the first output shaft 5 will drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 6 will drive the needle roller bearing to rotate. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 16 is started, and the hydraulic rod 16 will drive the axial load block 17 to apply an axial load to the needle roller bearing. When the radial load force on the outer surface of the needle roller bearing needs to be changed while the needle roller bearing is rotating, the staff can start the second motor 12, and the second motor 12 will drive the second output shaft 13 to rotate, and the second output shaft 13 will drive the gear When the wheel 14 rotates, the gear 14 will drive the gear row 10 to rotate. When the gear row 10 rotates, it will drive the round block 301 to rotate. The round block 301 will drive multiple moving blocks 305 to rotate around the outer surface of the needle roller bearing, thereby changing the distribution of radial load force on the outer surface of the needle roller bearing. After the multiple moving blocks 305 are rotated to the appropriate position, the second motor 12 is stopped. This device is provided with a second motor 12. The second motor 12 will drive the round block 301 to rotate. The rotation of the round block 301 will drive multiple moving blocks 305 to rotate along the outer surface of the needle roller bearing, thereby changing the radial load force applied to multiple different angles of the outer surface of the needle roller bearing, thereby enabling all-round and multi-angle fatigue testing of the needle roller bearing.
[0027] The usage and working principle of this device: When the needle roller bearing fatigue life testing machine is in operation, the staff needs to place the inner wall of the needle roller bearing on the outer surface of the heating block 8, start the heating block 8, so that the temperature of the needle roller bearing itself increases, and its own material will expand, so that the inner wall of the needle roller bearing can be easily sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6. When the temperature of the needle roller bearing drops, the inner wall of the needle roller bearing is tightly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6. When the outer surface of the needle roller bearing contacts the outer surface of the moving block 305, it will squeeze the moving block 305. The staff rotates the threaded rod 306. The rotation of the threaded rod 306 will drive the moving block 305 to squeeze the spring 307. The elastic force of the spring 307 itself will apply the squeezing force to the moving block 305, thereby driving the moving block 305 to apply a radial load to the outer surface of the needle roller bearing. By rotating the threaded rod 306 at different distances, different radial loads are applied to the outer surface of the needle bearing. After the needle bearing is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6, the first motor 4 is started, the first motor 4 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 6 drives the needle bearing to rotate. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 16 is started, and the hydraulic rod 16 drives the axial load block 17 to apply an axial load to the needle bearing. When the radial load on the outer surface of the needle bearing needs to be changed while the needle bearing is rotating, the second motor 12 can be started, the second motor 12 drives the gear 14 to rotate, and the gear 14 drives the gear row 10 to rotate. When the gear row 10 rotates, it drives multiple moving blocks 305 to rotate around the outer surface of the needle bearing, thereby changing the distribution of the radial load on the outer surface of the needle bearing. After the multiple moving blocks 305 are rotated to the appropriate position, the second motor 12 is stopped.
