Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of fatigue testing machine technology, and in particular to a wire rope fatigue testing machine. Background Technology
[0002] A wire rope fatigue testing machine is a device used to test the ability of wire ropes to resist fatigue failure under repeated stress. It simulates the stress state of wire ropes in actual use, such as repeated tension, bending, or torsion, subjecting the wire rope to periodic loads until it breaks or fails, thereby evaluating its fatigue life and durability.
[0003] Existing wire rope fatigue testing machines typically only allow testing on a single wire rope, and each test only yields data for that single rope. If batch testing of wire rope performance is required, repeated loading and unloading of samples is necessary, significantly increasing testing time and labor costs, extending the overall testing cycle, and reducing testing efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a wire rope fatigue testing machine.
[0005] This application adopts the following technical solution: a wire rope fatigue testing machine, comprising: Support base, the support base comprising: Base; Support columns, with their lower ends fixedly mounted on the base; A fixed wire reel is generally cylindrical in shape. Several wire rope fixing seats are fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed wire reel. A first connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the central axis of the fixed wire reel. The two ends of the first connecting shaft are rotatably connected to a crossbeam. The two ends of the crossbeam are fixedly connected to a support column. Test components, the test components include: The first fixing rod is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support column; The second fixing rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the support column; Several connecting frames are provided, with the upper end of the connecting frame rotatably connected to the second fixed rod, the lower end of the connecting frame connected to one end of a spring, the other end of the spring fixedly connected to the first connecting block, and the first connecting block cooperating with the base. The second pulley is rotatably connected within the connecting frame; The power assembly includes: A motor assembly, wherein the motor assembly is fixedly connected to the base, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor assembly; A connecting component, the lower end of which is connected to a rotating rod, and the upper end of which is connected to a first connecting shaft.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application uses a fixed sheave on a support base to fix both ends of a wire rope to the fixed sheave. The wire rope contacts the outer walls of a first pulley and a second pulley, respectively. The first pulley is rotatably connected to a second connecting block. A first fixed rod supports the second connecting block, and a second fixed rod supports a third connecting block. The second pulley rotates on a connecting frame via a third connecting shaft. When the fixed sheave rotates back and forth, the wire rope is subjected to tension through the second pulley. A spring limits the connection frame, simulating the elastic stress state of the wire rope in actual applications, thereby performing fatigue testing on the wire rope. The support base is equipped with multiple sets of testing components, allowing multiple wire ropes to be tested in the same experiment, reducing the overall experimental cycle and improving testing efficiency.
[0007] This application utilizes a motor assembly to drive a lower turntable to rotate via a rotating rod. A first connecting rod rotates with both the lower and upper eccentric columns. The lower eccentric column is fixed to the lower turntable, and the upper eccentric column is fixed to the upper turntable. Because the circumference of the lower turntable is smaller than that of the upper turntable, the upper turntable does not rotate completely when the lower turntable completes one revolution. This causes the upper turntable to drive a fixed pulley to swing back and forth via a second fixed rod. This eliminates the need for the motor assembly to repeatedly switch between forward and reverse directions, reducing start-stop shocks and current fluctuations, significantly extending the motor assembly's lifespan, avoiding operational jerks caused by frequent reversals, and ensuring the stability of the testing process.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this application, a second through groove 108 is provided on the first connecting block 104.

The countersunk hole 109 of this application is provided with a second connecting rod 110. One end of the second connecting rod 110 is provided with a limiting head 111, which is used to prevent the second connecting rod 110 from sliding out of the countersunk hole 109. The second connecting rod 110 is provided with an external thread 112, and the base 101 is provided with a threaded hole (not shown in the figure). That is, the base 101 below the slide groove 106 is provided with a threaded hole, which communicates with the through groove 105 and is threadedly connected to the second connecting rod 110. The second connecting rod 110 is also threadedly connected to the threaded base 101. Preferably, the second connecting rod 110 of this application is provided with a positioning surface 113. The positioning surface 113 can facilitate the rotation of the second connecting rod 110. When the second connecting rod 110 rotates, it can control the first connecting block 104 to move up and down in the slide groove 106, thereby controlling the pressure of the spring 310 and ultimately adjusting the tension of the wire rope. Therefore, this application can simultaneously perform fatigue tests on wire ropes of different thicknesses.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the wire rope fixing base 201 includes a fixing sleeve 203, wherein one end of the fixing sleeve 203 is fixed to the fixing reel 200. Preferably, one end of the fixing sleeve 203 is welded to the surface of the fixing reel 200, and the other end of the fixing sleeve 203 is provided with a threaded hexagon socket head cap screw 204. The fixing sleeve 203 is provided with a second connecting hole 205, through which the wire rope can be inserted and locked by the hexagon socket head cap screw 204 to prevent the wire rope from slipping during testing.
[0019] The implementation principle of a wire rope fatigue testing machine in this application embodiment is as follows: one end of the wire rope is first fixed on the fixed pulley 200, and the wire rope contacts the outer walls of the first pulley 303 and the second pulley 309 respectively. The first pulley 303 rotates on the second connecting block 302, the first fixing rod 301 supports the second connecting block 302, the second fixing rod 306 supports the third connecting block 308, the second pulley 309 rotates on the third connecting shaft 312, and the connecting frame 307 fixes the third connecting shaft 312. When fixed... When the reel 200 rotates back and forth, the wire rope is under tension through the second pulley 309. The spring 310 limits the connection frame 307. The spring 310 simulates the elastic stress state of the wire rope in actual application, thereby performing fatigue testing on the wire rope. The support base 100 is equipped with multiple sets of test components 300, so that multiple wire ropes can be tested in the same experiment, reducing the overall experimental cycle and improving the testing efficiency. In addition, the tension of the spring 310 in this application can be adjusted, allowing simultaneous testing of wire ropes of different thicknesses, making the electric... The machine assembly 401 drives the lower turntable 404 to rotate via the rotating rod 402. Simultaneously, the rotating rod 402 rotates on the inner wall of the second bearing seat assembly 403, which supports the rotating rod 402. The first connecting rod 406 rotates with both the lower eccentric column 405 and the upper eccentric column 407. The lower eccentric column 405 is fixed to the lower turntable 404, and the upper eccentric column 407 is fixed to the upper turntable 408. Because the circumference of the lower turntable 404 is smaller than that of the upper turntable 408, the upper turntable 408 does not rotate when the lower turntable 404 completes one revolution. The circumferential rotation causes the upper turntable 408 to drive the fixed reel 200 to swing back and forth via the first connecting shaft 202. This eliminates the need for the motor assembly 401 to repeatedly switch between forward and reverse directions, reducing start-stop shocks and current fluctuations, significantly extending the service life of the motor assembly 401, avoiding operational jerks caused by frequent reversals, and ensuring the stability of the testing process. The first connecting shaft 202 rotates within the first bearing housing assembly 206, which simultaneously provides stable support for the first connecting shaft 202, ensuring the overall stable operation of the equipment.
