Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fitness equipment detection, in particular to a treadmill running belt strength balance and surface defect synchronous detection method, especially for the real-time detection technology of the material strength durability, bilateral strength balance and surface micro-defects of the treadmill running belt. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production process of the treadmill, comprehensive detection of the performance of the running belt is a key link to ensure product quality.
[0003] At present, the detection technology of the treadmill running belt mainly focuses on the testing of a single performance index. For example, Chinese patent CN104535245B discloses a running belt static elongation testing method in a running belt tension testing device, which comprises a rack, a workbench plate, a roller one and a roller two. The tension of the running belt is detected by a force sensor, and the elongation of the running belt is detected by the moving distance of a displacement pointer. The technical solution can effectively test the static elongation of the running belt, but it can only detect the tension and elongation performance of the running belt, and cannot realize the synchronous monitoring of the strength durability and bilateral balance of the running belt.
[0004] Chinese patent CN201120556159.3 discloses a treadmill durability testing machine. The device tests the running belt by impact testing through an impact wheel, which is mainly used for testing the use durability of the running belt. However, this technical solution can only test the use durability of the running belt, and cannot test the balance of the strength of the two sides of the running belt, nor can it identify the micro-defects on the surface of the running belt.
[0005] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: first, there is a lack of detection means for the bilateral strength balance of the running belt. In actual use, the stress on both sides of the running belt is often uneven, resulting in differences in material fatigue degree, and unilateral relaxation phenomenon often occurs, but the existing detection method cannot accurately identify and quantify this imbalance. Secondly, the existing technology cannot realize real-time monitoring of the micro-defects on the surface of the running belt. The running belt is prone to surface cracks, fiber pull-out, abnormal joints and other micro-defects during use. Although these defects are small, they can affect the overall strength and use safety of the running belt, and the existing detection equipment cannot find such problems. Thirdly, the existing detection method is mainly for single index testing, and cannot realize synchronous detection of multiple performance indexes, which is low in detection efficiency and cannot meet the needs of rapid and comprehensive quality control in the production process.
[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a detection method that can simultaneously detect the strength balance and surface defects of the running belt of the treadmill, so as to realize comprehensive evaluation and real-time monitoring of the quality of the running belt. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] Example 1, basic test tool:
[0046] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figures 6-7 The present embodiment provides a kind of running machine running belt's strength and balance test tool, comprising:
[0047] Test workbench 10 is used as the supporting installation table of the present test tool, and the following devices are installed on test workbench 10;
[0048] The running driving device 20 is used to simulate the running of a treadmill, which comprises a driving motor 21, a synchronous belt 22, a driving roller 23, a driven roller 24, a running belt installed on the driving roller 23 and the driven roller 24, and the synchronous belt 22 is connected in transmission between the output end of the driving motor 21 and the driving roller 23, so as to simulate the actual use state of the running belt by continuous running;
[0049] The size adjusting device 30 is connected with the driving roller 23 and the driven roller 24, and comprises a length adjusting structure 31 and a width adjusting structure 32, so as to be suitable for installing running belts with different lengths and widths, and to ensure that the running belts with different material thicknesses and fiber densities can obtain appropriate pre-tension;
[0050] The tension stabilizing structure 40 is arranged along the length direction of the running belt, and is used to ensure the stable running of the running belt, reduce the loosening of the running belt caused by vibration, maintain the stability of the material stress state, and improve the measurement accuracy;
[0051] The synchronous testing device 50 is the core innovative part of the test tool, and refers to Figure 3 , which comprises a tension roller assembly 51 for transmitting the deformation effect of the running belt, two balance linkage mechanisms 52 for converting the deformation amount of the running belt to facilitate measurement, and a synchronous detection structure 53 for displaying the detection result.
[0052] The vibration and edge lifting detection mechanism 60 comprises two detection frames 61 symmetrically installed on both sides of the running belt, and is used to amplify the vibration amplitude and vibration frequency of the running belt during the initial installation of the running belt, so as to facilitate the observation of whether the running belt runs stably and determine the timing of starting the formal test of the running belt.
[0053] Detailed structure of the synchronous testing device:
[0054] Referring to Figure 8 , the tension roller assembly 51 comprises a plurality of tension rollers, preferably three tension rollers in this embodiment, and is distributed in the shape of an inverted isosceles triangle, which comprises a movable tension roller 511 located in the middle position and two fixed tension rollers 512 located on both sides. The running belt passes through the three tension rollers in sequence and is wrapped around the lower half curved surface of the movable tension roller 511 (for reference Figure 8 );
[0055] Two balance linkage mechanisms 52 are arranged at both ends of the tension roller assembly 51, each of which is fixedly connected with the end of the fixed tension roller 512 on the corresponding side and movably connected with the end of the movable tension roller 511 on the corresponding side, that is, the balance linkage mechanism 52 is independently adjustable up and down for the movable tension roller 511 on both sides, and when the running belt material relaxation intensity decreases (the relaxation intensity is usually not balanced on both sides), the running belt operation can be restored to the expected balance by adjusting the up and down movement of the movable tension roller 511 on one side, so that the running belt is re-tensioned to the set stress level.
[0056] The synchronous detection structure 53 is linked between the two balance linkage mechanisms 52, and the movement information of the two balance linkage mechanisms 52 can be obtained at the same time to calculate the deformation of the running belt.
[0057] The test principle of the synchronous test device 50 is as follows:
[0058] During operation, the running belt will relax due to material fatigue and decrease in intensity, and the wrapping support force of the movable tension roller 511 will decrease. Since the material fatigue degree on both sides of the running belt usually differs, the relaxation phenomenon often occurs asymmetrically. At this time, the two independent balance linkage mechanisms 52 can respond to the relaxation on the corresponding side respectively, and drive the movable tension roller 511 on the corresponding side to independently move downward through the respective force control assembly 523, so as to re-press the running belt at the corresponding position and restore the tension state of the running belt. The synchronous detection structure 53 monitors the movement parameters of the two balance linkage mechanisms 52 in real time, including the displacement, rotation angle, movement time and other information of each mechanism, compares and analyzes the movement differences of the two mechanisms from the beginning of the test to the end of the test, obtains the imbalance amplitude of the material intensity on both sides of the running belt, and evaluates the intensity difference on both sides of the running belt. At the same time, the movement trajectories, response speeds and final positions of the two balance linkage mechanisms 52 are compared and analyzed, and the intensity balance symmetry of the running belt on both sides under the same operation condition is quantitatively obtained, so as to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
[0059] Specifically, the balance linkage mechanism 52 adopts an unequal-diameter-lever composite structure, which can refer to Figures 9-13 , including:
[0060] The integrated shaft stand 521 is connected to the upper end of the workbench plate and serves as an integrated mounting member for other components in the mechanism, and is fixedly connected with the fixed tension roller 512;
[0061] The lever linkage assembly 522 is the core component of the mechanism, including an unequal-diameter balance member 5221 as a lever, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the integrated shaft stand 521 (as shown in Figure 4 , including a force arm 5222 and an unequal-diameter wheel 5223 (as shown in Figure 5As shown), the upper end of the unequal diameter wheel 5223 abuts against the top plate 5211 of the integrated shaft frame 521, and is offsetly hinged to a hinge shaft 5224 serving as a lever fulcrum. The hinge shaft 5224 is slidably connected within the limiting groove 5225 of the integrated shaft frame 521 (as shown). Figure 5 As shown in the figure), it is also connected to the movable tension roller 511 via a connecting rod (the connecting rod is not shown in the figure), which can be referenced. Figure 5 At the beginning of the running belt test, the hinge shaft 5224 is located at the top of the limiting groove 5225. The end of the unequal diameter wheel 5223 that is shorter than the center of the hinge shaft abuts against the top plate 5211. As the lever arm 5222 rotates downward, the distance between the end of the unequal diameter wheel 5223 that abuts against the top plate 5211 and the center of the hinge shaft 5224 increases linearly.
[0062] Force control component 523 is provided at the lower end of each lever arm 5222, and is used to independently apply a preset external force to the corresponding side unequal diameter balance component 5221, drive the unequal diameter wheel 5223 to rotate, thereby driving the corresponding side movable tension roller 511 to move down.
[0063] In this embodiment, reference Figure 9 The force control component 523 can be achieved by using a steel wire rope 5231, with one end connected to the unequal diameter balancer 5221 and the other end wound around the constant force output device 5232 that can provide a constant external force. The constant force output device 5232 can be a servo winch, magnetic powder brake, torque motor, etc.
[0064] refer to Figure 12 As a structural variation, the lever linkage assembly 522 can also be designed with improvements: the shape of the unequal diameter wheels 5223 is slightly modified, and the limiting groove 5225 is removed (e.g., Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the unequal diameter wheel 5223 can only rotate via the hinge shaft 5224. The protrusion 02 of the unequal diameter wheel 5223 allows it to push the movable tension roller 511 downwards via the sliding sleeve 5226 during rotation. To ensure the movable tension roller 511 returns to its original position during repeated testing, a return spring (not shown in the figure) is connected to the upper end of the sliding sleeve 5226. Therefore, when the external force of the force control component 523 is adjusted to disengage the unequal diameter balancer 5221 from the sliding sleeve 5226, the sliding sleeve 5226 can drive the movable tension roller 511 upwards to its original position via the return spring.
[0065] Compared to the standard structure, which directly controls the downward movement or return of the movable tension roller 511 by adjusting the stable tension of the wire rope 5231, the improved structure uses the protrusion 02 of the unequal diameter wheel 5223 to push the movable tension roller 511 downward, and then uses the elastic force of the return spring to return it to its original position. This design can more accurately control the elastic recovery force of the detection running belt material.
[0066] To ensure that the movable tension roller 511 can move stably under the driving of the connecting rod, and avoid shaking or deviation during the running of the belt, which affects the accuracy of the test. Referring to Figure 4 , the end of the movable tension roller 511 is sleeved with a sliding sleeve 5226, which is connected with the integrated shaft stand 521 in sliding mode.
[0067] The whole test process of the balance linkage mechanism 52 is as follows: the vibration and edge detection mechanism 60, the synchronous detection structure 53 cooperate with each other. Figure 5 When the belt is installed initially, the size adjusting device 30, the synchronous belt 22, the tensioning and stabilizing structure 40, etc. may not be installed to the best position, resulting in a large vibration amplitude of the running belt, etc. At this time, the vibration and edge detection mechanism 60 can be used to monitor the stability of the running belt, and these structures are adjusted until the belt reaches a state that can start testing; After running stably, the synchronous detection structure 53 is adjusted to make the motion parameters on both sides of the belt consistent or negligible, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
[0069] The two detection frames 61 of the vibration and edge detection mechanism 60 are continuously used to monitor the relaxation of the two sides of the belt. When one side is more relaxed, the wrapping support force of the belt on the movable tension roller 511 decreases, the moment of the two sides of the unequal diameter balancing piece 5221 is unbalanced, and the signal from the detection frame 61 is received by the force control assembly 523, so that the constant force outputter 5232 is started and the steel wire rope 5231 is wound. The force arm rod 5222 and the unequal diameter wheel 5223 are driven to rotate downward, so that the distance between the end of the unequal diameter wheel 5223 and the center of the hinge shaft 5224 increases, and the hinge shaft 5224 moves downward under the action of the transverse limiting and longitudinal guiding of the limiting sliding groove 5225, and drives the end of the movable tension roller 511 on this side to move downward independently to press the belt tightly, so that the belt is re-tensioned, and the moment of the two sides of the unequal diameter balancing piece 5221 is balanced again, and the constant force outputter 5232 stops moving.
[0070] The belt continues to run in a tensioned state for detection, and according to the above steps, the relaxation of the two sides of the belt is monitored and the corresponding movable tension roller 511 moves to re-tension the belt.
[0071] When the belt runs to the test time, it stops running. At this time, the rotation angle of the unequal diameter balancing piece 5221 or the height difference of a certain position of the steel wire rope 5231 can be measured by the synchronous detection structure 53, so as to indirectly measure the deformation amount of the two sides of the belt.
[0072] Referring to Figure 7The synchronous detection structure 53 includes a horizontal frame 531, both ends of which pass through the steel wire rope 5231 and are arranged at the upper end of the horizontal support box 532 (for reference Figure 5 The horizontal support box 532 is slidable and fixedly penetrates the steel wire rope 5231, and a displacement sensor (not shown in the figure) for monitoring the distance between the horizontal support box 532 and the constant force output device 5232 is arranged in the horizontal support box 532. A measuring instrument 533 is arranged at the middle position of the upper end of the horizontal frame 531, and the measuring instrument 533 can be a level or an angle instrument. When it is detected by the detection frame 61 that the running belt test can be started, the horizontal support boxes 532 on both sides and the horizontal frame are adjusted, so that the lower ends of the horizontal support boxes 532 on both sides are kept on the same horizontal plane, and the horizontal frame 531 is also kept in a horizontal state.
[0073] At the beginning of the running belt test, the same preset external force is provided by the force control assembly 523 on both sides, and the initial values of the displacement sensors on both sides and the measuring instrument 533 are recorded. When the running belt appears uneven relaxation, the steel wire rope 5231 pulls the unequal-diameter balancing piece 5221 to rotate, so that the horizontal support boxes 532 on both sides appear non-synchronous displacement changes, and the positions of the two ends of the horizontal frame 531 also change relative to the initial positions. At this time, the values of the displacement sensors on both sides and the value of the measuring instrument 533 are recorded, and the values are input into the computer system for calculation and analysis.
[0074] The multi-stage test is repeated, and one stage of the test content is the content described in the foregoing test principle process. When one stage of the test is completed and the running belt is irreversibly relaxed, the length adjusting structure 31 can be used to re-tension the loosened running belt, and the unequal-diameter balancing piece 5221 can be adjusted to return to the initial state in which the shorter end of the unequal-diameter balancing piece 5221 abuts against the top plate 5211. Then, one stage of the test is started again, and the analysis and calculation are performed, so as to improve the durability of the running belt on both sides and the accuracy and reliability of the balance of the running belt on both sides.
[0075] Reference Figure 12 The detection frame 61 includes a support 612 and a plurality of brushes 613 distributed on the side edges of the support 612. The edge of the running belt is embedded between the brushes 613. Whether the running belt can be tested can be judged by observing the up-down shaking degree of the brushes 613 and the deformation degree of the brushes 613.
[0076] Meanwhile, the detection frame 61 can also understand the edge curling of the running belt after a certain period of running according to the deformation degree.
[0077] The vibration and curling detection mechanism 60 can also be additionally provided with a capture camera (not shown in the figure) for high-definition shooting of the deformation degree of the brush, so as to improve the accurate judgment of the running state and the curling of the running belt.
[0078] To ensure the accuracy of the running belt test, the running belt needs to be in tension when installed, and to remain stable during operation. Referring to Figure 7 , the installation structure will be described in detail.
[0079] The running drive device 20, the driving roller 23, and the synchronous test device 50 are all installed on the test workbench 10 through the first mounting plate 11. The driven roller 24 and the detection frame 61 are both installed on the test workbench 10 through the second mounting plate 12. The driving roller 23 and the driven roller 24 are both detachably mounted with end frames 25 at both ends. The tensioning roller assembly 51 and the balance linkage mechanism 52 are detachably installed through threaded connection, so as to facilitate the wrapping installation of the running belt on the rollers.
[0080] The length adjustment structure 31 adjusts and tensions the running belt by moving one end of the driven roller 24, which includes a sliding guide rail 311 arranged on the test workbench 10, and the second mounting plate 12 is slidably mounted on the sliding guide rail 311, which can be driven by a motor or a pneumatic component or a hydraulic component.
[0081] The width adjustment structure 32 includes a plurality of guide sliding grooves 321, which are respectively slidably connected with one side of the driving roller 23, one side of the driven roller 24, and one side of the balance linkage mechanism 52, and are fixed by standard parts such as bolts or screws.
[0082] The tensioning and stabilizing structure 40 includes a connecting plate frame 41 slidably connected to the second mounting plate 12, and the driven roller 24 is mounted on the connecting plate frame 41. The connecting plate frame 41 is abutted with a stabilizing assembly 42 along the length direction of the running belt. The stabilizing assembly 42 can be abutted with one end of the bolt on the connecting plate frame 41, and the other end is threadedly connected to a fixed support block to achieve the connection.
[0083] Further, the stabilizing assembly 42 is provided with two groups, and the other group is abutted with the driving motor 21 along the length direction of the running belt. On the one hand, it can buffer a part of the motor vibration, improve the stability of the running belt operation, and on the other hand, it can cooperate with the driving motor 21 to improve the fixed drive after the driving motor 21 is slidably connected with the first mounting plate 11. Therefore, the tensioning degree of the synchronous belt 22 wound between the driving motor 21 and the driving roller 23 can be adjusted and kept stable, so as to ensure the stable power transmission of the driving motor 21 to the running belt.
[0084] The test tool is also equipped with a control cabinet 70, which can adjust the parameters of each electric component or hydraulic component or pneumatic component involved in the embodiment.
[0085] Embodiment 2: Treadmill running belt test tool integrated with wire detection mechanism
[0086] Referring to Figures 1-5The embodiment is extended based on embodiment 1, and a wire detection mechanism 80 is set for the existing test tool to detect the small defects on the surface of the running belt. The mechanism uses wire as the triggering medium, combines displacement sensing and signal processing, and can monitor the small defects such as small cracks, fiber pull-out, and abnormal joint of the running belt surface in real time.
[0087] The wire detection mechanism 80 is integrated in the existing vibration and edge lifting detection mechanism 60, and the wire across the two sides of the running belt is in slight contact with the surface of the running belt. When the surface of the running belt has small protrusions, cracks, or fiber pull-out, the wire will be touched or hooked, and a measurable displacement change will be generated. The whole detection uses non-contact laser measurement or visual detection measurement, which will not interfere with the normal operation of the running belt, and is equipped with a hierarchical alarm mechanism and an automatic protection function (the wire will be automatically disconnected when the displacement is too large).
[0088] Structural components: the wire detection mechanism 80 includes: a spring tensioner 81 fixed on each vibration and edge lifting detection mechanism 60, a wire 82 as a detection medium, and a displacement detection assembly 83 for monitoring the displacement of the wire 82.
[0089] The spring tensioner 81 is located on both sides of the running belt, and one or two are provided on each side, that is, one set. The spring tensioner 81 includes a shell 811 fixedly connected with the vibration and edge lifting detection mechanism 60 and a coil spring 812 installed in the shell 811. The effective number of turns of the coil spring 812 is, for example, 20 turns, the free end of the coil spring 812 is exposed to the shell 811 and is connected with one end of the wire 82 respectively, and the coil spring 812 provides a basic tension for the wire 82 through the elastic restoring force. The shell 811 can be made of aluminum alloy material, the inner surface is treated by anodic oxidation to reduce friction, and the shell 811 is provided with a tension adjusting hole 813. By adjusting the screw in the tension adjusting hole 813, the pre-compression amount of the coil spring 812 can be changed, so that the size of the output tension can be adjusted.
[0090] The wire 82, for example, uses nylon wire or carbon fiber wire with a diameter of 0.1-0.2 mm, and the selected wire needs to have the characteristics of high strength, low elongation, and wear resistance. The wire 82 crosses the two sides of the running belt, and the two ends are connected to the corresponding spring tensioners 81. During the running of the running belt, the wire 82 is in slight contact or a small gap of 1-2 mm with the surface of the running belt. When the surface of the running belt has defects, the wire 82 is touched or hooked, so that it deviates from the original position and generates a measurable displacement change. The elastic property of the spring tensioner 81 makes the wire 82 quickly return to the original position after slight contact, that is, when the defect is not serious, the detection continues.
[0091] The displacement detection assembly 83 uses a laser displacement sensor 831, the measurement range is ±10 mm, the accuracy is ±0.1 mm, and the response frequency is 2 kHz. The sensor is fixed on the detection frame 61 through an adjustable support.
[0092] Further, a mechanism can be provided to cut the wire when it is displaced too much. For example, by providing an electromagnetic cutter or a thermal cutting device at the appropriate place to quickly cut the wire, or a magnetic attraction structure as an alternative solution, which automatically disconnects when the displacement exceeds the limit. To protect the equipment from damage caused by wire entanglement or dragging, and to ensure the safe operation of the test device.
[0093] Detection principle and data analysis algorithm:
[0094] The working principle of the wire detection mechanism is based on a composite detection mode of physical contact triggering and displacement measurement. When a crack appears on the running belt surface, the edge of the crack will hook the wire and produce a forward dragging force, causing the wire to deviate from the standard position; when the running belt fiber is pulled out, the pulled-out fiber will entangle the wire and move it; when the joint has defects such as burrs and protrusions, it will directly touch the wire and cause displacement; these changes will be captured by laser displacement sensors or visual monitoring. The system identifies the defect type by analyzing the time characteristics of the displacement: instantaneous displacement (duration <1 second) usually indicates the passage of one-time defects such as small particles and burrs; continuous displacement (duration >5 seconds) indicates continuous defects or serious damage such as long cracks and large area wear; displacement speed reflects the severity of the defect, the faster the speed, the more prominent the defect; displacement frequency can be used to analyze the distribution of defects, and high-frequency repetitive displacement may indicate that the running belt surface has periodic defects.
[0095] The data analysis algorithm uses multi-dimensional feature extraction technology, combining displacement amplitude, duration, change speed, frequency characteristics and other parameters to establish a defect recognition model. The system performs digital filtering on the original displacement signal to remove high-frequency noise and environmental interference, identifies displacement events through peak detection algorithm and calculates feature parameters. Trend analysis algorithm statistically analyzes the data of continuous detection period to identify the quality change trend of the running belt. The system has self-adaptive function, which can automatically adjust the detection threshold and alarm parameters according to the characteristics of different types of running belts.
[0096] The system establishes a three-level alarm mechanism, which adopts different processing strategies according to the severity of the defect. The first level alarm is for minor defects, the trigger condition is that the wire displacement is greater than 20mm and the duration is more than 2 seconds, but the displacement speed is less than 2mm / s. When triggered, the yellow indicator light is lit and a short beep is emitted once, the defect position and data are recorded, and the sampling frequency is increased to 5kHz, but it does not affect the normal operation of the running belt.
[0097] The secondary alarm is triggered when the wire displacement is greater than 40 mm or the displacement speed is greater than 5 mm / s, or the first alarm occurs more than 3 times in succession, or the displacement duration exceeds 5 seconds. When triggered, the orange indicator light flashes and emits 3 continuous beeps, automatically reduces the running speed of the running belt to 50%, starts the image recording function, and sends an alarm message to the monitoring system.
[0098] The tertiary alarm is triggered when the wire displacement is greater than 60 mm, the continuous movement time exceeds 10 seconds, the displacement speed is greater than 10 mm / s, or the wire breakage is detected. When triggered, the red indicator light is always on and emits a long beep, automatically stops the running of the running belt, decides to start the reset program or the emergency shutdown program according to the displacement size, sends an emergency alarm message to the management system, and locks the test state to wait for manual intervention.
[0099] The integration design of the wire detection mechanism 80 with the existing test tool fully considers the structural compatibility and functional complementarity. In terms of structural integration, the wire detection mechanism utilizes the existing detection frame 61 structure of the vibration and edge detection mechanism 60, and is fixedly installed through the reserved mounting hole, and is complementary with the existing brush 613 in function: the brush 613 detects large-scale edge deformation (greater than 5 mm), and the wire detection mechanism detects small defects (in the range of 1-5 mm), and the two systems cover all defect types from small to obvious.
[0100] In terms of control system integration, the signal processing component 84 of the wire detection mechanism is integrated into the existing control cabinet 70.
[0101] Embodiment 3: Treadmill running belt strength durability test method
[0102] This embodiment is based on the test tool of the aforementioned embodiments 1 and 2, and provides a systematic treadmill running belt strength durability test method, which realizes comprehensive evaluation of the strength characteristics of the running belt material and accurate detection of the bilateral balance through standardized test procedures, parameter settings and data analysis.
[0103] Preparation stage before test:
[0104] Tread belt installation and commissioning: according to the size of the measured tread belt, adjust the transverse position of the driving roller 23, the driven roller 24 and the balance linkage mechanism 52 through the width adjustment structure 32 to ensure that the tread belt can be correctly wrapped around each roller shaft; install the tread belt on the driving roller 23, the driven roller 24 and the tensioning roller assembly 51 in turn, ensure that the tread belt is correctly oriented and has no distortion; adjust the position of the driven roller 24 through the length adjustment structure 31 to make the tread belt reach the initial tensioning state, and the initial tensioning force should be controlled at 80-90% of the rated tensioning force of the tread belt; start the running driving device 20 to run at low speed (0.5-1.0 m / s) for 5-10 minutes, observe the running stability of the tread belt, and judge whether the tread belt runs stably through the deformation of the brush 613 of the vibration and edge detection mechanism 60.
[0105] Test parameter setting:
[0106] Set the running speed according to the type and thickness of the tread belt: set the thin tread belt (thickness ≤3mm) to 3-5m / s, and set the thick tread belt (thickness >3mm) to 2-4m / s; set the test running time: the standard test is continuous running for 8-12 hours, and the accelerated aging test is continuous running for 24-48 hours; adjust the force control assembly 523 of the balance linkage mechanism 52, set the preset external force to 1.2-1.5 times the weight of the tread belt, to ensure that the material strength change can be detected sensitively; calibrate the measuring instrument 533 and the displacement sensor of the synchronous detection structure 53, and record the initial reference value.
[0107] Yarn detection mechanism debugging:
[0108] Adjust the tensioning force of the spring tensioner 81 to 2-4N to ensure that the yarn 82 maintains a small gap of 1-2mm with the surface of the tread belt; calibrate the measurement zero point of the laser displacement sensor 831, set the detection threshold: first alarm, second alarm, third alarm; test the response time of the third alarm mechanism and the reliability of the reset function.
[0109] Standard strength durability test process:
[0110] First stage: basic strength detection (0-2 hours);
[0111] Start the test tool, the tread belt runs stably at the set speed, record the position parameters of the balance linkage mechanism 52 on both sides in the initial state; record the data of the synchronous detection structure 53 every 30 minutes, including the inclination angle of the horizontal frame 531 and the values of the displacement sensors on both sides; real-time monitor the alarm situation of the yarn detection mechanism 80, record the frequency and position distribution of the first alarm; observe the deformation of the tread belt edge through the vibration and edge detection mechanism 60, and record the deformation degree of the brush 613.
[0112] Second stage: fatigue strength monitoring (2-8 hours);
[0113] Continue running the test, focusing on monitoring the movement changes of the two-sided balance linkage mechanism 52. When the running belt material fatigues and causes relaxation, the corresponding side of the movable tension roller 511 will move downward. Record the rotational angle changes of the unequal-diameter balancing piece 5221 every hour to analyze the differences in material fatigue strength decay on both sides. Monitor the trend of the wrapping support force. When the support force decreases by more than 10% of the initial value, it indicates that the material strength has started to significantly decay. Count the alarm escalation of the wire detection mechanism. An increase in the frequency of first-level alarms indicates an increase in surface defects, and the appearance of second-level alarms indicates an increase in defect severity.
[0114] Phase III: Strength Balance Analysis (8-12 hours)
[0115] Deeply analyze the movement data differences of the two-sided balance linkage mechanism 52 and calculate the strength asymmetry coefficient on both sides. Quantify the bilateral balance through the inclination of the horizontal frame 531. An inclination angle exceeding 2° indicates significant strength differences on both sides. Compare and analyze the alarm data of the wire detection mechanisms on both sides to evaluate the symmetry of surface defect distribution. Record the final material strength retention rate and bilateral balance rating.
[0116] Accelerated Aging Strength Test Process
[0117] High-strength operation settings: Increase the running speed to 1.5 times the normal test speed and increase the environmental temperature to 35-40°C (if possible). Adjust the preset external force of the force control assembly 523 to 1.3 times the normal value to simulate high-load usage conditions. Shorten the data recording interval to 15 minutes to increase the monitoring frequency.
[0118] Strength Decay Acceleration Evaluation
[0119] Focus on monitoring the strength change rate within the first 6 hours to establish a material fatigue curve. Stop the test immediately when the strength difference between both sides exceeds 15% or when the third-level alarm appears. Estimate the strength life of the running belt under normal usage conditions based on the accelerated aging data.
