The tooling sleeve is connected to a flange that is used to cooperate with the main shaft of the external equipment to drive the tooling sleeve to rotate synchronously when the main shaft of the external equipment rotates.

10. A testing method for the torque detection structure of the truck wheel hub maintenance-free bearing according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1, drive the main shaft of the external device to rotate in the forward direction at a speed of V1 to drive the tooling sleeve to rotate synchronously through the flange, and the tooling sleeve drives the outer ring of the bearing to be tested to rotate synchronously when it is running, start the servo motor to drive the core shaft to rotate at a speed of V2, and the rotation direction of the core shaft is set in the same direction as the rotation direction of the flange. According to the requirements of the detection working condition, the external loading device is selectively driven to apply a load to the axial loading connecting rod or the radial loading connecting rod, so that the load is transmitted to the core shaft through the loading disk, and the torque sensor receives and detects the torque value fed back by the core shaft through the transmission shaft. At this time, the torque value detected by the torque sensor is T1=T2-T3, where T2 is the torque value generated by the operation of the bearing to be tested, and T3 is the torque value generated by the operation of the accompanying test bearing; S2, drive the main shaft of the external device to rotate forward at a speed of V1 to drive the tooling sleeve to rotate synchronously through the flange, and the tooling sleeve drives the outer ring of the bearing to be tested to rotate synchronously when it is running, start the servo motor to drive the core shaft to rotate at a speed of V2, and the rotation direction of the core shaft is set in the opposite direction of the rotation direction of the flange. According to the requirements of the detection working condition, the external loading device is selectively driven to apply a load to the axial loading connecting rod or the radial loading connecting rod, so that the load is transmitted to the core shaft through the loading disk, and the torque sensor receives and detects the torque value fed back by the core shaft through the transmission shaft. At this time, the torque value detected by the torque sensor is T1=T2+T3, wherein T2 is the torque value generated by the operation of the bearing to be tested, and T3 is the torque value generated by the operation of the accompanying test bearing; S3. Based on steps S1 and S2, the torque value detected by the torque sensor is the moment value generated by the bearing to be tested under axial load, radial load or combined load conditions.
