[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0036] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a test bench for detecting abnormal noise on the gear surface of a gearbox in production, including a support frame 1 and a gearbox 3 to be tested. The support frame 1 is an integral support structure, and a test frame 2 is fixedly installed on the front of its upper surface by bolts. The top of the test frame 2 is installed with a placement plate 9 by a detachable connection method such as bolts. The placement plate 9 can be replaced according to the external dimensions and mounting hole positions of different models of gearboxes 3 to achieve the adaptation and placement of gearboxes 3 of various specifications.
[0037] Multiple clamping cylinders 4, preferably 2 to 4, are symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the test frame 2. The piston rod of each clamping cylinder 4 is fixedly mounted with a clamping plate 5 by screws. The clamping plate 5 is a metal plate with a buffer pad layer, which is used to clamp and fix the gearbox 3 from all sides under the drive of the clamping cylinder 4 to prevent the gearbox 3 from shifting during the test.
[0038] A half-shaft propulsion mechanism 8 is symmetrically installed on the left and right side walls of the test frame 2. The output end of the half-shaft propulsion mechanism 8 can move horizontally and insert into the output ends of the gearbox 3 on both sides. A transmission mechanism 6 is fixedly installed behind the upper surface of the support frame 1. The transmission mechanism 6 and the half-shaft propulsion mechanism 8 are connected by a belt to achieve power transmission, which drives the half-shaft propulsion mechanism 8 to rotate, thereby driving the gearbox 3 to run at a set speed. An oil spraying lubrication mechanism 7 is installed in the bottom frame of the support frame 1. The output end of the oil spraying lubrication mechanism 7 extends into the interior of the test frame 2, which is used to spray lubricating oil onto the tooth surface of the gearbox 3 during operation, and at the same time realize the recovery and filtration of lubricating oil.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown: The transmission mechanism 6 includes a servo motor 61 and a transmission shaft 62. The transmission shaft 62 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support frame 1 via a bearing housing, and the bearing housing is fixed to the support frame 1 with bolts. The servo motor 61 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the upper surface of the support frame 1 via a motor mounting bracket, and the output shaft of the servo motor 61 is parallel to the transmission shaft 62. A first pulley 63 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the transmission shaft 62. The first pulley 63 is connected to the pulley mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 61 via a synchronous belt drive, realizing the transmission of power from the servo motor 61 to the transmission shaft 62. The speed of the servo motor 61 can be precisely adjusted by a frequency converter.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: Symmetrically mounted second pulleys 64 are mounted on both ends of the drive shaft 62. The two second pulleys 64 are of identical specifications and coaxially arranged with the drive shaft 62. Third pulleys 65 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the test frame 2 via bearings. The third pulleys 65 are connected to the half-shaft propulsion mechanism 8 for driving its rotation. Each second pulley 64 is connected to the corresponding third pulley 65 via a synchronous belt drive, ensuring that the power of the drive shaft 62 is synchronously transmitted to the half-shaft propulsion mechanisms 8 on both sides.
[0041] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown: The half-shaft propulsion mechanism 8 includes two identical connecting plates 81. The two connecting plates 81 are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the test frame 2 via guide rods to ensure smooth sliding of the connecting plates 81. Drive cylinders 83 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the top of the support frame 1, corresponding to the positions of the two connecting plates 81. The piston rods of the drive cylinders 83 are connected to the connecting plates 81 and are used to drive the connecting plates 81 to move along the guide rods. A connecting cylinder 82 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plates 81 via bearings. The connecting cylinder 82 has a hollow cylindrical structure, and its middle part can move left and right in the inner hole of the third pulley 65. The connecting cylinder 82 can rotate synchronously with the third pulley 65 via the first connecting tooth 821 and the connecting tooth groove 651.
[0042] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown: Multiple first connecting teeth 821 are uniformly and integrally formed on the outer side wall of the connecting cylinder 82 along the circumferential direction. Connecting tooth grooves 651 are uniformly formed on the inner side wall of the third pulley 65 along the circumferential direction. The number and tooth shape of the connecting tooth grooves 651 are adapted to the first connecting teeth 821. The first connecting teeth 821 are inserted into the connecting tooth grooves 651 to realize the power transmission between the connecting cylinder 82 and the third pulley 65, while ensuring that the connecting cylinder 82 can slide along the axial direction of the third pulley 65.
[0043] like Figure 6and Figure 7 As shown: A clamping cylinder 84 is inserted into the end of the connecting cylinder 82 near the gearbox 3. The clamping cylinder 84 has a hollow structure and can move axially along the connecting cylinder 82. An axially extending threaded hole is provided at the end of the clamping cylinder 84 near the connecting cylinder 82. A threaded rod 86 is inserted into the end of the connecting cylinder 82 away from the clamping cylinder 84. One end of the threaded rod 86 extends into the connecting cylinder 82 and is threadedly matched with the threaded hole on the clamping cylinder 84. Rotating the threaded rod 86 can pull the clamping cylinder 84 inward along the connecting cylinder 82. At least one limiting groove 841 is provided axially on the outer side wall of the clamping cylinder 84. A protrusion, such as an axial ridge, is provided on the inner side wall of the connecting cylinder 82 that matches the limiting groove 841. The protrusion is embedded in the limiting groove 841 to restrict the rotational freedom of the clamping cylinder 84, so that the clamping cylinder 84 can only move axially along the connecting cylinder 82.
[0044] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown: The end of the clamping cylinder 84 away from the connecting cylinder 82 is divided circumferentially to form multiple clamping plates 842, which are arranged in a conical shape. The inner wall of the end of the connecting cylinder 82 near the clamping cylinder 84 is provided with a conical part 822. The taper of the conical part 822 is adapted to the angle of the conical arrangement of the clamping plates 842. When the clamping cylinder 84 moves inward, the conical part 822 presses against the outer wall of each clamping plate 842, causing the clamping plates 842 to retract inward. A half-shaft 85 is clamped and fixed inside the multiple clamping plates 842. One end of the half-shaft 85 can be inserted into the output end of the gearbox 3. A second connecting tooth 851 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the half-shaft 85 along the circumferential direction. The second connecting tooth 851 meshes with the internal gear ring at the output end of the gearbox 3 to drive the internal gears of the gearbox 3.
[0045] like Figure 5 As shown: The oil spraying lubrication mechanism 7 includes an oil reservoir 71 and an oil pump 72. The oil reservoir 71 is fixedly installed inside the bottom frame of the support frame 1 and is used to store lubricating oil. The oil inlet of the oil pump 72 is connected to the inside of the oil reservoir 71 through an oil inlet pipe, and the oil outlet of the oil pump 72 is connected to a spray frame 73 through a hose. The spray frame 73 is located inside and below the test frame 2, and its position corresponds to the tooth surface of the gearbox 3. Multiple nozzles are evenly installed on the spray frame 73, and the spray direction of each nozzle is towards the tooth surface of the gearbox 3, which is used to atomize the lubricating oil and spray it evenly on the tooth surface to achieve lubrication and cleaning.
[0046] like Figure 5As shown: The top of the oil storage tank 71 is equipped with an oil return port, which is connected to the interior of the test frame 2 through a recovery pipe 74. The recovery pipe 74 is connected to the bottom oil outlet of the test frame 2, which is used to return the lubricating oil dripping from the test frame 2 to the oil storage tank 71. A filter screen, such as a stainless steel filter screen, is detachably installed inside the oil storage tank 71 near the oil return port. The filter screen has a filtration accuracy of 50-100 mesh, which is used to filter production particles and impurities carried in the lubricating oil, ensure the cleanliness of the circulating lubricating oil, extend the service life of the equipment and improve the accuracy of the test.
[0047] Working principle: According to the model of the gearbox 3 under test, replace the placement plate 9 on the top of the test frame 2. After placing the gearbox 3 on the placement plate 9, start the multiple clamping cylinders 4 symmetrically installed on the outside of the test frame 2. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder 4 pushes the clamping plate 5 to move, clamping and fixing the gearbox 3 from all sides to prevent displacement during the test.
[0048] Start the drive cylinder 83 on the lower surface of the top of the support frame 1. The drive cylinder 83 drives the connecting plate 81 to slide along the test frame 2, causing the connecting cylinder 82 connected to the top of the connecting plate 81 to move towards the reduction gearbox 3. This allows the half shaft 85 inside the clamping cylinder 84 to be inserted into the output end of the reduction gearbox 3. At the same time, the second connecting tooth 851 on the outside of the half shaft 85 meshes with the inner gear ring at the output end of the reduction gearbox 3, and the first connecting tooth 821 on the outside of the connecting cylinder 82 is embedded in the connecting tooth groove 651 of the third pulley 65.
[0049] The servo motor 61 in the transmission mechanism 6 is started. The output shaft of the servo motor 61 drives the first pulley 63 in the middle of the transmission shaft 62 to rotate via a belt, thereby driving the transmission shaft 62 to rotate. The second pulleys 64 at both ends of the transmission shaft 62 drive the third pulleys 65 on both sides of the test frame 2 to rotate via belts. The third pulleys 65 drive the connecting cylinder 82, clamping cylinder 84 and half shaft 85 to rotate synchronously through the engagement of the first connecting tooth 821 and the connecting tooth groove 651. Finally, the gears inside the reduction gearbox 3 are driven to run at the set speed. The servo motor 61 can achieve precise speed adjustment through the frequency converter.
[0050] During the test, the oil pump 72 of the oil spraying and lubrication mechanism 7 is activated. The oil pump 72 draws lubricating oil from the oil storage tank 71 through a pipeline and delivers it to the spray frame 73 inside the test frame 2. Multiple nozzles on the spray frame 73 evenly spray lubricating oil onto the gear surfaces of the gearbox 3, achieving lubrication and cleaning. The used lubricating oil drips to the bottom of the test frame 2 and flows back to the oil storage tank 71 through the recovery pipe 74. After impurities are filtered out by the filter screen inside the oil storage tank 71, it can be recycled.
