TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of reducer testing, in particular to a testing device for a reducer. BACKGROUND
[0002] Before leaving the factory, reducers need to be tested for various performances to determine whether the reducers are qualified, wherein torque detection includes rated torque, peak torque, torque fluctuation rate, no-load torque and load efficiency. In most cases, reducers are installed horizontally, at which time lubricating oil can evenly cover the moving parts such as gears and bearings through gravity to form an effective oil film. At present, the horizontal angle is mainly used in torque detection.
[0003] However, in practice, the reducers used by offshore platform equipment are not only affected by wave impact, but also corroded by seawater. In addition, the installation angle of the reducer also has the cases of inclined installation and vertical installation in actual use, such as the reducers used by crane slewing mechanisms, inclined conveyor drive devices, vertical mixing equipment and vertical elevators. At this time, due to the change of the installation angle, the lubrication condition changes, the lubricating oil level in the reducer installed obliquely is inclined, which causes the oil pool to gather on the lower side of the shell, resulting in uneven lubrication of the gears and bearings. The gears of the reducer installed vertically are partially submerged in the oil pool and partially exposed, which makes it difficult to be fully lubricated, resulting in an increase in the friction coefficient of the gears and affecting the peak torque that the reducer can withstand.
[0004] Therefore, when only the horizontal angle is used for torque detection, the detection result of the peak torque of the reducer installed vertically or obliquely will have errors. In addition, when the horizontal static torque is detected, the influence of the sway of the offshore platform and the corrosion of the seawater on the reducer is ignored, which makes the error of the maximum torque detected larger. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application provides a testing device for a reducer, which solves the problem that the maximum torque of the reducer used by offshore platform equipment cannot be accurately measured by the conventional horizontal static detection of the torque of the reducer in the related art.
