Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bearing testing equipment, in particular to a combined automobile hub bearing muddy water testing equipment. Background Art

[0002] As a core component of the vehicle's driving system, the durability, sealing and load-bearing capacity of automobile wheel hub bearings directly determine driving safety and reliability. During actual operation, wheel hub bearings must simultaneously withstand radial loads from the vehicle's own weight, axial loads generated by acceleration / braking, and composite impact loads caused by complex road conditions. They are also exposed to harsh environments such as mud, water, and salt water for long periods of time, facing multiple challenges of wear, corrosion, and fatigue failure. Therefore, verifying the performance of wheel hub bearings by accurately simulating actual working conditions through test equipment has become a key link in ensuring product quality. However, existing wheel hub bearing test equipment has significant technical limitations in working condition simulation and universal adaptation, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the ability to simulate composite loads is insufficient: Traditional testing machines typically apply loads in a single direction, simulating only axial or radial stresses. They are unable to replicate the composite axial and radial loads generated by the axle weight and acceleration forces during vehicle operation. Similar to the phenomenon in which water-lubricated bearing testing equipment on ships distorts test data by ignoring propeller-induced shaft eccentricity, existing equipment fails to adequately simulate the complex stress scenarios of hub bearings under dynamic conditions such as steering and turbulence, resulting in substantial discrepancies between test loads and actual operating conditions.

[0003] Second, the wheelbase adjustment accuracy and ease of operation are low: The wheelbases of hub bearings vary significantly between different vehicle types (e.g., compact and mid-size cars), and the wheelbase adjustment mechanisms of existing equipment generally suffer from difficulties in debugging and insufficient positioning accuracy. Most equipment uses a mobile loading device to adjust parameters, but due to installation space limitations, the position deviation of the force loading point is difficult to control, and the adjustment process requires the collaboration of multiple people. This not only prolongs test preparation time, but also reduces the reliability of test data due to the offset of the loading position. Third, there are dual shortcomings in the authenticity of environmental simulation and the economy of equipment: on the one hand, existing muddy water and salt water environmental simulation systems generally have problems such as unstable injection flow and uneven coverage, making it difficult to accurately reproduce the actual erosion scenarios of vehicles wading through water and muddy roads; on the other hand, the structural design of traditional test benches is redundant, occupies a large site space, and is mostly customized for bearings of specific specifications, with extremely poor versatility. For example, the deep groove ball bearing testing machine has low space utilization due to its unreasonable layout, and the repeated construction of special test benches further increases equipment investment and site costs, restricting the improvement of test efficiency.

[0004] The above-mentioned defects make it difficult for existing equipment to form an integrated testing capability of "composite load + real environment + multi-specification adaptation". The test data deviates greatly from the actual working conditions, which not only affects the accuracy of product reliability assessment, but also extends the new product development cycle and increases R&D costs.

The above loading structure can apply axial, radial, or axial-radial combined loads to the floating main shaft, recreating the combined forces experienced by the bearing during actual vehicle operation. The first adjustment structure can be adjusted by raising and lowering to adapt to the wheelbase requirements of bearings of different specifications, ensuring the accurate position and direction of the axial load application. The second adjustment structure can then limit the floating main shaft after the first adjustment structure is debugged to prevent wheelbase deviation during testing.

[0028] The overall operation process of this equipment: 1. Test preparation stage: First, install and fix the wheel hub bearing to be tested through the disassembly and assembly holes on the disassembly and assembly plate, and then connect the bearing shaft hole to the floating main shaft in the test chamber to ensure a firm connection; at the same time, check the storage capacity of muddy water or salt water in the water storage tank, confirm that the fine return water filter between the return water tank and the water storage tank and the filter tank on the bottom wall of the test chamber are in normal condition, and ensure that the medium circulation channel is unobstructed. In addition, check the installation status of the accompanying test bearing between the tooling sleeve and the floating main shaft to avoid operation jams.

[0029] 2. Wheelbase adjustment and limiting stage: Operate the first adjustment structure to change the relative position of the drive motor and the main wheelbase adjustment plate by adjusting the first adjustment pin in the first adjustment hole on the main wheelbase adjustment plate, so as to adjust the position and direction of the axial load force to adapt to the wheelbase requirements of the bearing to be tested; after the wheelbase is adjusted to the right position, operate the second adjustment structure to fix the position of the disassembly plate by adjusting the second adjustment pin in the second adjustment hole between the secondary wheelbase adjustment plate and the disassembly plate, thereby limiting the floating spindle to prevent wheelbase deviation during the test.

[0030] 3. Working condition simulation startup phase: Start the drive structure, and the drive motor drives the pulley on the floating main shaft through the transmission belt, so that the floating main shaft rotates synchronously, and then drives the tested wheel hub bearing to rotate, simulating the rotation condition of the bearing during actual operation; then start the spraying structure, and the stepper motor drives the double-head peristaltic pump to operate, transporting the muddy water or salt water in the water tank to the nozzle made of stainless steel bamboo tube. The nozzle is bent and adjusted in angle according to the test requirements, so that the medium is accurately sprayed onto the surface of the bearing to be tested, simulating the actual muddy water or salt water environment.

[0031] 4. Load application stage: Start the loading structure. If axial load needs to be applied, the axial loading cylinder transmits the force to the "L"-shaped composite loading plate through the axial loading block and the resultant shaft, and then transmits it to the tooling sleeve and the floating main shaft through the connecting plate, and finally acts on the bearing; if radial load needs to be applied, the radial loading cylinder drives the lever arm to rotate around the support pin through the connecting pin, and the end of the lever arm transmits radial force to the swing head through the rotating pin, and then transmits it to the floating main shaft and bearing through the composite loading plate; if composite load needs to be applied, the axial and radial loading cylinders work synchronously, and the load is combined into a composite force through the swing head and the resultant shaft and then transmitted, simulating the axial radial composite force in actual vehicle operation.

[0034] In order to improve the portability and accuracy of the test in the above technology, load sensors can be set at the output ends of the axial loading cylinder and the radial loading cylinder to improve the detection efficiency and accuracy. The axial loading cylinder and the radial loading cylinder in the above technology are both existing technologies and can be replaced by hydraulic output devices such as cylinders according to actual needs.
