Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a test device for power equipment such as motors, engines, reducers, hydraulic-motor, etc., and in particular to a test simulation for reliability in the case of a motor or a reducer driving a rotor. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, due to the vigorous development of new energy eVTOL, distributed electric drive is widely used, that is, the aircraft is directly driven by multiple motors or cooperates with reducers to provide vertical take-off power. In the process of vertical take-off or horizontal flight of the aircraft, it is easy to be disturbed by airflow in the forward and lateral directions, and then a periodic bending moment load is generated on the rotor; the bending moment load acts once every certain angle of rotation of the rotor. The bending moment load is ultimately transmitted to the output shaft of the motor or reducer through the hub at the center of the rotor, and then causes the mechanical structure of the motor or reducer to deform or the shaft system to be damaged, etc.

[0003] In order to test the influence of such periodic bending moment on reliability, the motor or reducer is often tested for durability in the wind tunnel together with the rotor, which greatly occupies the wind tunnel resources and has high cost; other alternative test schemes, such as using a ground vehicle to carry the motor or reducer together with the rotor, and driving at a certain speed to bring a certain wind flow to test, also have very high cost and require very wide test sites.

[0004] Based on the above problems, it is imperative to design a test device that can simulate periodic bending moment load on the test bench. The present application can realize periodic loading of bending moment in the circumferential direction and realize adjustable and controllable bending moment size, greatly saving the test cost.

[0005] After investigation, no similar bending moment loading equipment is found. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to load periodic bending moment load on the power transmission shaft to test the system reliability on the test bench.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the test device for loading periodic bending moment provided by the present application comprises a force loading device, a force receiving disc and an output shaft.

[0008] The force loading device is fixed on the equipment as a fixed part, and the force receiving disc is coaxially connected to the output shaft to form a rotating part. The force loading device is eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of the force receiving disc, which generates a bending moment load by applying an eccentric periodic axial force to the force receiving disc and transmitting it to the output shaft. The output shaft is connected to the power output end of the motor or reducer.

[0009] The force loading device comprises an energy storage element, a force contact structure, and a pressure plate support. The energy storage element generates a certain pre-stored elastic force under the action of the pressure plate support. The force loading device can be multiple, and the number and distribution position thereof can be adjusted according to the actual load of the simulated test.

[0010] Optionally, the energy storage element can be various elastic elements such as springs. More preferably, the energy storage element can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a rubber elastic body, or an air bag.

[0011] The contact friction part of the force contact structure can be a sliding friction structure or a rolling friction structure. Optionally, the force contact structure can be a protrusion, a ball, or a roller made of low-friction material.

[0012] The pressure plate support restricts the force contact structure and the energy storage element in a certain space range through the through-hole bayonet on the pressure plate support. At this time, the energy storage element is pre-loaded, and the head of the force contact structure protrudes from the through-hole bayonet to a certain height of the pressure plate support, which is slightly lower than the protrusion height of the load-bearing disc.

[0013] The load-bearing disc is a disc structure, and there is a gap between the disc surface and the pressure plate support, which is slightly larger than the height of the head of the force contact structure protruding from the pressure plate support. When the disc surface rotates, the disc surface does not contact the head of the force contact structure.

[0014] There are also multiple smaller protrusions on the load-bearing disc surface in the circumferential direction, which are arranged at a certain angle on the same index circle. The height of the protrusions is slightly smaller than the gap between the disc surface of the load-bearing disc and the pressure plate support. The number and distribution angle of the protrusions are determined according to the actual situation of the simulated load.

[0015] When the output shaft drives the load-bearing disc to rotate, the protrusions on the load-bearing disc rotate to the head of the force contact structure, the protrusions are pressed to the force contact structure, and the bayonet of the pressure plate support is separated from the force contact structure. At this time, the pressing force is almost equal to the pre-stored force of the energy storage element; the pressing force acts on the load-bearing disc through the protrusions, and finally generates a bending moment on the output shaft. With the rotation of the load-bearing disc, the protrusions intermittently press the force contact structure, and the process is repeated, thereby realizing periodic bending moment loading.

[0016] Optionally, the protrusions can also be a protrusion, a steel ball, or a roller made of low-friction material, to reduce the friction and impact during each action.

[0017] The structure has the advantages of simple and reliable mechanical structure, low cost, and the size of the applied bending moment can be adjusted by adjusting the diameter of the index circle of the protrusions of the load-bearing disc and the pre-stored force of the force loading device, thereby realizing the simulation of different bending moment working conditions.

[0018] The present application provides another optional solution: Based on the above, the force loading device can select servo motor, servo cylinder, servo hydraulic cylinder and other active servo force loading device.

[0019] The force bearing disc surface is free of protrusions. The disc surface is directly connected with the force loading device through sliding or rolling structure.

[0020] Optionally, the sliding or rolling structure can be low friction material contact pair, ball, roller. Further, bearing capable of bearing axial force can be selected.

[0021] Through servo system control, the force loading device applies force to the force bearing disc according to certain frequency, thereby generating periodic bending moment load and adjusting size and frequency in real time.

[0022] The present application has the advantages of: Periodic bending moment loading of the shafting can be realized, and the bending moment can be adjusted. If the force loading device adopts servo system, real-time adjustment of the periodic bending moment can be realized. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
