Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of transmission pair testing technology, and in particular relates to an axial loading device for ball screw pairs. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing equipment for new energy vehicle charging piles, ball screw pairs are used to drive precision moving parts such as housing stamping dies and electrode assembly robotic arms. Their transmission accuracy directly affects the plug-in and plug-out life and safety of the charging pile interface. Since the ball screw pairs need to withstand axial forces such as stamping loads and assembly impacts during the manufacturing process, and the temperature rise generated during long-term operation will lead to the decay of preload, it is necessary to conduct load tests on the ball screw pairs to verify whether they meet the usage requirements.

[0003] Currently, when a ball screw pair is working, the worktable generally moves along the axis of the ball screw. Therefore, during testing, an axial load is usually applied to the ball screw pair, such as the ball screw pair axial loading device disclosed in patent publication number CN105372061B, to test its displacement accuracy under axial loading. Because ball screw pairs often require frequent, high-speed reciprocating movements during operation, their surface temperature rises due to friction and other factors. This increased temperature causes the lubricating oil on the screw surface to become viscous, reducing lubrication performance and affecting the displacement accuracy of the screw nut. Existing load testing devices mostly only perform axial load tests at room temperature, failing to simulate the actual working temperature environment of the ball screw pair. This leads to discrepancies between test results and real-world conditions, failing to accurately reflect the impact of high temperatures on lubrication performance, material thermal expansion, and transmission accuracy. Consequently, temperature-related factors can cause problems such as decreased accuracy and shortened lifespan during actual operation. Summary of the Invention

The vibration monitoring unit 8 includes a fixing block 81 fixedly installed on the top of the test bench 1, and a grooved column 82 fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block 81. A hollow soft sleeve 83 is fixedly installed inside the grooved column 82, and a hanging ball 84 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hollow soft sleeve 83.

[0024] The displacement monitoring mechanism 9 is installed on the top of the test bench 1 and the mounting frame 21. The displacement monitoring mechanism 9 is used to monitor the displacement of the test bench 1. The displacement monitoring mechanism 9 includes a reflective follower block 91 fixedly installed on the top of the test bench 1. A support block 92 is installed on one side of the top of the mounting frame 21, and a laser ranging probe 93 is fixedly inserted into the side wall of the support block 92. The laser ranging probe 93 is used to detect the distance between the reflective follower block 91 and the laser ranging probe 93. The laser ranging probe 93 is electrically connected to the control main board 4. The laser ranging probe 93 can measure the distance between the laser ranging probe 93 and the reflective follower block 91 by emitting a laser and calculating the time required to receive the reflected laser.

[0025] The operating principle of this invention is explained as follows: Before testing the ball screw assembly 22, the computer starts the control motherboard 4. After the control motherboard 4 starts, it first controls the air pump 64 and the heater 63 to start working, and then controls the ball screw assembly 22 and the two hydraulic cylinders 52 to start working. When the ball screw assembly 22 is working, it drives the test bench 1 to move horizontally along the mounting frame 21, while the hydraulic cylinders 52 drive the two pressure plates 53 to move in the same direction and at the same speed as the test bench 1. At this time, the ball screw of the ball screw assembly 22 will start to rotate, and when the air pump 64 is working, it will deliver external airflow to the air chamber 6. Inside the 2nd section, when the electric heater 63 is working, it heats the airflow (the working temperature of the electric heater 63 is 60℃). The heated airflow is ejected through various jet holes. Since the ball screw of the ball screw assembly 22 is rotating at this time, the hot airflow will blow the surface of the ball screw around the entire circumference. On the one hand, the airflow can blow away any impurities that may exist in the ball screw groove, preventing impurities from affecting the normal movement of the nut. On the other hand, the hot airflow can heat the ball screw of the ball screw assembly 22 to about 50℃, simulating its working temperature, which helps to improve the accuracy of subsequent axial loading tests. After the test bench 1 moves back and forth from the mounting frame 21, the control board 4, according to the program, first controls the two hydraulic cylinders 52 to stop working, and then controls the ball screw assembly 22 to continue driving the test bench 1 to start moving. Since the pressure plate 53 has not moved at this time, the frame hole 54 of the test bench 1 will abut against the pressure plate 56 on one side, and apply pressure to the pressure detector 55 through the pressure plate 56. After the pressure detector 55 detects that the pressure has reached the threshold, it will immediately send an electrical signal back to the control board 4. At this time, the control board 4 controls the hydraulic cylinder 52 to work again, and the hydraulic cylinder 52 will drive the pressure to increase. The plate 53 moves in the same direction as the test bench 1, causing the test bench 1 to experience axial resistance during movement. At the same time, the pressure plate 53 can be accelerated by the hydraulic cylinder 52 while the test bench 1 is moving, thereby applying a thrust to the test bench 1. Therefore, the axial loading unit 5 can apply resistance or thrust to the test bench 1, and it can also apply resistance or thrust to the test bench 1 when the test bench 1 moves in the opposite direction, improving the comprehensiveness of the axial loading test of the ball screw assembly 22 (the detection mode of the axial ball screw assembly 22 can be preset by controlling the main board 4 according to the actual test requirements). During the movement of the test bench 1, the control motherboard 4 controls the laser ranging probe 93 to work. The laser ranging probe 93 emits a laser to the reflective follower block 91 and calculates the time required to receive the reflected laser, thereby measuring the position of the support block 92. The displacement of the support block 92 can be used to determine whether the displacement of the test bench 1 matches the expectation, and thus determine whether the ball screw assembly 22 meets the usage requirements in the axial loading test. (The laser ranging probe 93 feeds the distance information back to the control motherboard 4 in real time, and the control motherboard 4 outputs the data to the computer. After processing by the computer software, the corresponding linear displacement is displayed on the computer. By comparing it with the standard linear displacement, the result can be quickly obtained. The standard linear displacement is the linear displacement measured by a qualified ball screw assembly 22 under the same conditions.) During the axial load test on the test bench 1, the control motherboard 4 controls the two electromagnetic suction rods 102 to operate at a frequency of energizing for 2 seconds and de-energizing for 1 second. When the electromagnetic suction rods 102 are energized, the strip sealing plate 101 moves upward and abuts against the upper cavity wall of the air chamber 62. At this time, the strip sealing plate 101 blocks the conical jet hole 65, and the air pump 64 delivers air into the air chamber 62, which cannot be discharged, increasing the air pressure inside the air chamber 62. When the electromagnetic suction rods 102 are de-energized, the strip sealing plate 101 moves downward under the action of the elastic element inside the electromagnetic suction rods 102. At this time, the conical jet hole 65 opens, and the high-pressure airflow inside the air chamber 62 is ejected through the conical jet hole 65. At this time, the sealing plate 72 is pushed upward by the airflow, and the sealing plate 72 drives the impact ball 74 upward through the movable frame 73. The impact ball 74 strikes the impacted ball 76. Due to the spherical sliding action between ball 74 and the ball 76 being struck, the elastic rod 75 bends to one side. After the electromagnetic suction rod 102 is energized, the sealing plate 72 returns to its original position under its own weight due to the disappearance of airflow. At this time, the elastic rod 75 rebounds. Under the bending and rebounding action of the elastic rod 75, and the impact of the ball 74 on the ball 76 being struck, the ball 76 will vibrate. The vibration force will be transmitted to the test platform 1 through the U-shaped frame 71. The vibration force is transmitted to the ball screw assembly 22 through the test platform 1, thereby simulating the vibration environment and testing the working stability of the ball screw assembly 22 under the vibration environment (because the nut of the ball screw assembly 22 will be subjected to increased load during actual operation, the vibration generated by the motor operation and the vibration generated by the load displacement will affect the working stability of the ball screw assembly 22. Therefore, by simulating the vibration environment, the accuracy of the test results can be improved). Secondly, when the test bench 1 is subjected to vibration, the vibration will be transmitted to the fixed block 81 and the slot column 82. The suspended ball 84, which is suspended inside the slot column 82 by the hollow soft sleeve 83, will sway. When the suspended ball 84 is not swaying, the light emitted by the spotlight 111 will be transmitted to the photoelectric switch 113 through the light-transmitting hole 85, the hollow soft sleeve 83, and the mounting hole 112. The photoelectric switch 113 will convert the light signal into an electrical signal and feed it back to the control motherboard 4. After receiving the light signal, the control motherboard 4 will start timing through its own timing module. When the suspended ball 84 sways significantly, because the suspended ball 84 and the hollow soft sleeve 83 are misaligned with the spotlight 111, the photoelectric switch 113 cannot receive the light signal. Therefore, the control motherboard 4 will pause timing, and the ball screw assembly 22 will operate. When stability is high, the connection between the test bench 1 and the ball screw assembly 22 is relatively stable. At this time, the suspended ball 84 will only shake due to the vibration generated by the elastic rod 75 and the impacted ball 76. Therefore, the amplitude and frequency of the shaking are low. However, when the working stability of the ball screw assembly 22 is poor, the test bench 1 will not only be affected by the vibration generated by the elastic rod 75 and the impacted ball 76, but will also vibrate due to the instability of the ball screw assembly 22. Therefore, the shaking amplitude and frequency of the suspended ball 84 are high. In this state, the timing time of the control motherboard 4 is short. Therefore, by controlling the timing time of the motherboard 4, the working stability of the ball screw assembly 22 can be roughly judged. Combined with the laser ranging method, the working performance of the ball screw assembly 22 can be judged through dual detection.
