Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electric actuators, in particular to a rapid testing device for electric actuator testing. BACKGROUND

[0002] Electric actuators are a kind of mechatronic devices commonly used in current industrial systems. The accuracy of their own performance parameters plays a decisive role in on-site implementation and application. Therefore, it is necessary to test electric actuators in advance to determine whether they meet the standards for shipment and use. Furthermore, how to achieve rapid testing of electric actuators and ensure the accuracy of the test results has become a problem that manufacturers and even users of electric actuators need to pay attention to and solve.

[0003] Most electric actuator manufacturers currently use calipers or other measuring tools to measure or observe the mechanical indicators of the output end to observe and record the position data of the output end of the electric actuator, and then manually calculate the relevant performance parameters of the product. The entire testing process not only relies heavily on manual operation, but also consumes a lot of time and effort. Moreover, the testing method is simple and basic, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the test results, which poses a great risk to the actual use of the product. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems in the prior art and provide a rapid testing device for electric actuator testing, which focuses on rapid assembly and disassembly during testing, reduces labor intensity, and improves testing efficiency and result accuracy.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution provided by the present application is as follows: A data acquisition device for electric actuator testing, comprising a quick-mounting bracket and a self-resetting sensor. The upper end of the quick-mounting bracket is embedded with a magnetic material. The quick-mounting bracket is provided with a fixed guide groove in the axial direction. The self-resetting sensor comprises a displacement sensor, a measuring head, a rod, and a reset elastic member. The displacement sensor is fixedly arranged on the quick-mounting bracket. The bottom end of the rod extends into the quick-mounting bracket through the fixed guide groove and can freely slide along the fixed guide groove. The measuring head is arranged at the top end of the rod. The reset elastic member is arranged between the bottom end of the rod and the quick-mounting bracket. When testing, the magnetic material on the upper end of the quick-mounting bracket is magnetically attracted to the bottom of the flange of the electric actuator being tested, the reset elastic member is in a compressed state, and the elastic force acts on the measuring head through the rod to make the upper end surface of the measuring head contact and press the lower end surface of the output end of the electric actuator being tested.

[0006] The application realizes quick mounting and dismounting of the whole device and the measured electric actuator by magnetic force, and realizes that the measuring head of the displacement sensor moves with the electric actuator during the whole test process by the elastic force of the reset elastic member, so that the position data collected is real-time and accurate, the degree of manual participation is reduced, the process error is reduced, and the test precision is improved.

[0007] Further, the upper end surface of the quick mounting bracket is processed with mounting hole grooves, the magnetic material is nested in the mounting hole grooves, and an interference fit is adopted to ensure that the magnetic material will not fall out of the mounting hole grooves during use.

[0008] Further, the magnetic material adopts a magnetic steel; the mounting hole grooves are multiple and uniformly distributed on the upper end surface of the quick mounting bracket; the multiple magnetic steels are nested and assembled in the corresponding mounting hole grooves, and the magnetic pole directions are consistent.

[0009] Further, the bottom of the mounting hole groove is provided with an exhaust through hole, and the diameter of the exhaust through hole is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting hole groove. The exhaust through hole is used to exhaust air in the mounting hole groove during assembly.

[0010] Further, the displacement sensor is fixed on the quick mounting bracket by a fastener, such as a screw; and the measuring head is detachably fixed and installed at the top end of the rod by a thread.

[0011] Further, the height of the measuring head satisfies the following conditions: the bottom of the flange of the measured electric actuator and the upper end surface of the quick mounting bracket are placed in the same plane, and when the reset elastic member is in a free elongation state, the position of the upper end surface of the measuring head is always higher than the lower end surface of the output end of the electric actuator within the test stroke of the measured electric actuator. In this way, when the test is performed, when the upper end surface of the measuring head contacts the lower end surface of the output end of the electric actuator, the reset elastic member is in a compressed state, and the measuring head is always pushed close to the measured electric actuator by the rod, thereby ensuring that the upper end surface of the measuring head and the lower end surface of the output end of the measured electric actuator are always in contact and pressed tightly, and the test precision is improved.

[0012] The detachable installation of the measuring head by a thread facilitates the selection of measuring heads of different heights according to different test requirements of different products.

[0013] The application also provides a quick test device for testing an electric actuator, which adopts the above-mentioned data acquisition device, and further comprises: An information processing system is connected to the self-resetting sensor through a cable, receives the position data collected by the self-resetting sensor, calculates and outputs the performance parameters of the electric actuator.

[0014] The performance parameters include the accuracy, speed, stroke time error, etc. of the electric actuator.

[0015] The information processing system comprises a man-machine interface and a data analysis unit; the man-machine interface can be operated in a touch screen mode, the display interface provides control buttons and displays the test items and test results in real time; the data analysis unit can adopt PLC and comprises a control module and a detection module; the control module communicates with the measured electric actuator and the self-resetting sensor, outputs the detection instruction and collects the position data detected by the self-reseting sensor; the detection module automatically detects the collected position data, outputs the calculation result of the performance parameters of the electric actuator and compares with the set value to determine whether the corresponding performance parameters are qualified, and feeds back the test result to the man-machine interface.

[0016] The output end of the measured electric actuator performs linear reciprocating motion.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: (1) The test equipment is directly attracted to the corresponding position of the measured electric actuator by magnetic force, and can be directly removed after testing, which is convenient to disassemble and assemble; at the same time, the measuring head is installed at the top of the rod in a threaded manner, which is convenient to select different height measuring heads according to different measured electric actuators to realize the contact and compression of the measuring head and the output end surface of the electric actuator by the elastic member of the self-resetting sensor during the test stroke.

[0018] The two connection positions of the test equipment and the measured electric actuator do not need to use separate connecting pieces, which is simple in structure, realizes quick assembly and disassembly during testing, and reduces the workload.

[0019] (2) During the test, there is no strict position requirement between the electric actuator and the test equipment, and no additional alignment is required, only the contact between the measuring head and the electric actuator is required, which further simplifies the operation steps and reduces the requirements for the tester.

[0020] (3) The test data is collected in real time by the self-resetting sensor, and the test result is automatically detected and analyzed by the information processing system, which reduces the personnel participation degree, reduces the process error, and improves the test accuracy.

[0021] In summary, the present application has the advantages of simple and reliable structure, simple operation, strong universality and practicality, effectively reduces the labor intensity, realizes process automation, improves the product testing efficiency and result accuracy, and has very important significance for protecting the production of electric actuators.
