Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fatigue testing technology, specifically to a fatigue testing device for aircraft seat structural components. Background Technology

[0002] An aircraft seat is a seat installed inside an aircraft. It consists of a seat cushion and a backrest. The seat cushion can be raised, lowered, and moved forward and backward, while the backrest can be tilted relative to the seat cushion. An adjuster is located between the backrest and the seat cushion. Inside the adjuster is a coil spring. The spring's elasticity allows the tilted backrest to return to its original position. Therefore, the elasticity of the coil spring is crucial for adjusting the angle of the aircraft seat, and it is necessary to test the fatigue limit of the coil spring to determine the number of times the seat backrest can tilt.

(III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a fatigue testing device for aircraft seat structural components, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This fatigue testing equipment for aircraft seat structural components places the disc spring to be tested on the top of the torsion disc body and the bearing ring. An arc-shaped push plate and an arc-shaped baffle are respectively engaged with both ends of the disc spring. A spotlight illuminates the indicator plate, and the initial reading on the angle scale illuminated by the spotlight is recorded. The rotating arm and push column are driven by a motor to rotate. During the process of the push column sliding inside the straight groove, the sliding column slides inside the outer arc groove. The left and right clamping plates remain in contact with each other. Under the pressure of the left or right clamping plates, the arc-shaped pressure plate presses against the circumferential surface of the friction wheel. When the drive disc rotates, it causes the mounting cover to rotate, which, in conjunction with the arc-shaped pressure plate, presses against the friction wheel, causing the second rotating shaft and the second fixed plate to rotate. This, in turn, causes the first rotating shaft and the torsion disc body to rotate, making the torsion disc body rotate relative to the bearing ring, thus causing the disc spring to torsion. After the torsion disc body returns to its original position, the spotlight shines on a mark on the angle scale again. By comparing the difference between the marks on the angle scale before and after the torsion disc body rotates, it can be determined whether the disc spring is elastic enough to return to its initial state, thereby facilitating the detection of the disc spring's fatigue limit. 2. This fatigue testing equipment for aircraft seat structural components, by screwing on threaded rod one, moves the U-shaped frame from right to left along the bottom wall of the testing platform. Sliding column one slides to the left along the inclined groove, causing the lower support frame and fixed plate one to move downwards. This, in turn, causes the upper support plate and sliding frame to move downwards along the guide rod, disengaging the transmission gear set from the bottom of the torsion disc body. Gear one and gear two with the required gear ratio are then replaced, and the slider slides accordingly inside the groove to adapt to the gear ratio of gear one and gear two. The U-shaped frame is then rotated in the opposite direction, causing the lower support frame, sliding frame, and upper support plate to move upwards until rotating shaft one is inserted into the connecting tube and rotating shaft two is inserted into the collar, completing the replacement of gear one and gear two. Replacing gear one and gear two facilitates adjustment of the disc spring's torsion angle each time, allowing for the testing of the disc spring's fatigue limit at different torsion angles. 3. In this fatigue testing equipment for aircraft seat structural components, after the push column separates from the linear groove, the elasticity of spring two causes the friction plate to press against the surface of the mounting cover, preventing the drive disc and mounting cover from continuing to rotate under inertia. Simultaneously, the left and right clamping plates separate, and the arc-shaped pressure plate moves outward under the elasticity of spring one, separating from the friction wheel. As a result, the torsion disc body rotates in the opposite direction to reset under the elasticity of the disc spring, and the friction wheel rotates relative to the mounting cover, preventing the drive disc from rotating with the rotating shaft two. This ensures that the resistance encountered by the disc spring during torsion reset is small, and the resistance encountered during multiple resets is relatively stable. At the same time, the drive disc rotates only under the drive of the rotating arm and push column, ensuring that the shape of the drive disc remains consistent each time the push column enters the linear groove, and that the time difference between two adjacent torsion cycles of the disc spring remains consistent, ensuring stable testing conditions.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-2 A fatigue testing device for aircraft seat structural components includes a testing platform 100. A torsion disk assembly 200 is mounted on the top of the testing platform 100, and a disc spring from the aircraft seat is engaged with the top of the torsion disk assembly 200. Four sets of guide rods 300 are fixedly installed between the top and bottom walls of the testing platform 100. An upper support plate 400 and a lower support frame 500 are slidably connected to the guide rods 300. The upper support plate 400 is located above the lower support frame 500, and a sliding frame 600 is slidably connected between the upper support plate 400 and the lower support frame 500. A rotation drive component 800 is mounted on the sliding frame 600, and a transmission gear set 700 is provided between the rotation drive component 800 and the torsion disk assembly 200.

[0019] Please see Figure 3 The torsion disc assembly 200 includes a torsion disc body 201 rotatably connected to the top of the testing table 100. A bearing ring 202 is fixedly installed on the top of the testing table 100, and the bearing ring 202 is sleeved on the outside of the torsion disc body 201. An arc-shaped push plate 203 is fixedly installed at the top edge of the torsion disc body 201, and an arc-shaped baffle 204 is fixedly installed on the top of the bearing ring 202. The arc-shaped push plate 203 and the arc-shaped baffle 204 are respectively engaged at both ends of the disc spring. The top of the bearing ring 202 is flush with the top of the torsion disc body 201 to prevent the disc spring from tilting when it is placed. By rotating the torsion disc body 201 relative to the bearing ring 202, the arc-shaped push plate 203 pushes the disc spring to twist. Then, the elasticity of the disc spring drives the torsion disc body 201 to rotate and return to its original position.

[0020] An indicator plate 205 is fixedly installed on the top of the testing platform 100. The center of the arc of the indicator plate 205 coincides with the axis of the torsion disk body 201. An angle scale 206 is provided on the inner side of the indicator plate 205. A spotlight 207 is fixedly installed at the center of the torsion disk body 201, and the spotlight 207 is arranged along the radial direction of the torsion disk body 201. The spotlight 207 shines on the indicator plate 205. When the disc spring drives the torsion disk body 201 to reset, if the elasticity of the disc spring decreases, the position of the spotlight 207 on the indicator plate 205 will deviate before and after the torsion disk body 201 rotates. The difference in readings on the angle scale 206 between two previous and subsequent illuminations by the spotlight 207 indicates the change in the elasticity of the disc spring.

[0021] Please see Figures 4-5A fixing plate 501 is fixedly installed on the bottom of both the front and rear sides of the lower support frame 500. An inclined groove 502 is formed through the fixing plate 501. A U-shaped frame 503 is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the testing table 100. Sliding columns 504 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of both ends of the U-shaped frame 503, and the sliding columns 504 are slidably connected within the inclined groove 502. A threaded rod 505 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the testing table 100, and the threaded rod 505 is threadedly connected to the U-shaped frame 503. By rotating the threaded rod 505, the U-shaped frame 503 slides along the left and right direction on the bottom wall of the testing table 100, and the sliding columns 504 slide within the inclined groove 502, thereby causing the lower support frame 500 to move up and down along the guide rod 300. After the lower support frame 500 descends, the transmission gear set 700 can be removed from between the torsion disc assembly 200 and the rotation drive component 800. By replacing the transmission gear set 700 with different gear ratios, the angle of rotation of the torsion disc body 201 can be adjusted each time. This allows for the detection of the fatigue limit of the disc spring under different rotation angles.

[0022] Please see Figures 5-6 The sliding frame 600 includes a base 601 slidably connected to the top of the lower support frame 500. L-shaped plates 602 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the base 601. The two L-shaped plates 602 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the upper support plate 400, respectively. A threaded rod 603 is rotatably connected to the left end of each L-shaped plate 602. A lug 604 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the left half of the upper support plate 400, and the threaded rod 603 is threadedly connected to the lug 604. When changing the transmission gear set 700, the gear ratio changes, and the spacing between the gears inside the transmission gear set 700 changes. This causes the base 601 and L-shaped plates 602 to slide along the upper support plate 400 by turning the threaded rod 603, adapting to the change in the gear spacing.

[0023] Please see Figure 6 A groove 401 is formed through the right half of the upper support plate 400. A slider 402 is slidably connected within the groove 401. An extension plate 403 is fixedly installed at the bottom right end of the slider 402. The extension plate 403 is attached to the bottom of the upper support plate 400. A vertical rod 404 is slidably connected through the right end of the extension plate 403. A connecting plate 405 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the vertical rod 404. The connecting plate 405 is attached to the top wall of the testing table 100. A support frame 406 is fixedly installed at the left end of the connecting plate 405. A collar 407 is rotatably connected within the support frame 406. The support frame 406 is slidably connected to the top wall of the testing table 100. Through the connection of the extension plate 403, the vertical rod 404, and the connecting plate 405, the slider 402 and the support frame 406 move synchronously.

[0024] Please see Figures 6-8The transmission gear set 700 includes a first rotating shaft 701 rotatably connected through the center of the upper support plate 400, and a second rotating shaft 702 rotatably connected through the center of the slider 402. Supports 703 are fixedly mounted on the circumferential surfaces of both rotating shafts 701 and 702, respectively fitting against the top of the upper support plate 400 and the top of the slider 402. Protrusions 704 are fixedly mounted on the upper circumferential surfaces of both rotating shafts 701 and 702. Thus, the position of rotating shaft 701 on the upper support plate 400 is fixed, while rotating shaft 702 can move with the slider 402 within the slide groove 401. Therefore, the distance between rotating shafts 701 and 702 can be adjusted to accommodate changes in the distance between the gears.

[0025] The transmission gear set 700 also includes gear one 705 and gear two 706, which mesh with each other. A coupling tube 707 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the torsion disc body 201. Rotary shaft one 701 is inserted into the center of gear one 705 and inside the coupling tube 707. Rotary shaft two 702 is inserted into the center of gear two 706 and inside the collar 407. Two supports 703 are respectively attached to the bottom of gear one 705 and gear two 706. The coupling tube 707 is attached to the top of gear one 705 and the collar 407 is attached to the top of gear two 706. When replacing gear 1 705 and gear 2 706, the lower support frame 500 is moved downward to place gear 1 705 and gear 2 706 on top of the support 703. The lower support frame 500 is then moved upward to insert shaft 1 701 into the connecting pipe 707 and shaft 2 702 into the collar 407, thus completing the replacement of gear 1 705 and gear 2 706.

[0026] Please see Figures 6-8 The rotating drive component 800 includes a drive disk 801 rotatably connected to the lower half of the rotating shaft 702. Support arms 802 are arrayed along the edge of the drive disk 801, and a clearance arc surface 804 is provided between adjacent support arms 802. A straight groove 803 is formed through the middle of each support arm 802. A motor 805 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the base 601. A rotating arm 806 and a sector plate 808 are fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 805. A push column 807 is fixedly mounted on the top of the end of the rotating arm 806 away from the motor 805. The push column 807 is slidably connected within the straight groove 803, and the sector plate 808 is fitted against the clearance arc surface 804. The positioning effect of the sector plate 808 and the clearance arc surface 804 facilitates the determination of the motor 805's installation position when installing the rotating arm 806 and the motor 805.

[0027] The rotating arm 806 is driven to rotate by the motor 805, and the push column 807 performs a circular motion. During rotation, the push column 807 first inserts into the straight groove 803, pushing the drive disk 801 and the straight groove 803 to deflect. After the drive disk 801 follows the push column 807 to deflect a certain angle, the push column 807 disengages from the straight groove 803. In this embodiment, there are six sets of support arms 802, so that when the rotating arm 806 rotates one revolution, the drive disk 801 rotates 60°. A connecting assembly 900 is provided between the drive disk 801 and the rotating shaft 702. When the rotating arm 806 and the push column 807 drive the drive disk 801 to deflect, the connecting assembly 900 connects the drive disk 801 to the second rotating shaft 702, causing the second rotating shaft 702 to rotate with the drive disk 801, thereby driving the second gear 706, the first gear 705 and the torsion disk body 201 to rotate; when the push column 807 disengages from the straight groove 803, the connecting assembly 900 releases the connection between the drive disk 801 and the second rotating shaft 702, and when the disc spring drives the torsion disk body 201 to rotate in the opposite direction to reset, the second rotating shaft 702 can rotate relative to the drive disk 801.

[0028] Please see Figures 9-12 Two guide rails 605 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the right half of the sliding frame 600. Specifically, the guide rails 605 are fixedly installed on the top of the right half of the base 601. The connecting assembly 900 includes a left clamping plate 901 and a right clamping plate 902. The opposite sides of the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 are both semi-circular arc surfaces. Two pads 903 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902. The pads 903 are slidably connected to the guide rails 605. A reverse transmission component is provided between the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902. The reverse transmission component drives the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 to move simultaneously towards each other or simultaneously away from each other.

[0029] A mounting cover 912 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the drive disk 801. When the drive disk 801 rotates, it drives the mounting cover 912 to rotate synchronously. U-shaped plates 913 are slidably connected in an array through the circumference of the mounting cover 912. The outer end of the U-shaped plate 913 is V-shaped, and the inner end of the U-shaped plate 913 is fixedly installed with an arc-shaped pressure plate 914. A spring 915 is fixedly installed between the U-shaped plate 913 and the outer wall of the mounting cover 912. The mounting cover 912 is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom end of the second rotating shaft 702. A friction wheel 916 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the second rotating shaft 702. The arc-shaped pressure plate 914 is attached to the circumference of the friction wheel 916. The arc-shaped surfaces of the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 are attached to the V-shaped end of the U-shaped plate 913. When the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 move towards each other, they compress the V-shaped end of the U-shaped plate 913, thereby pressing the arc-shaped pressure plate 914 against the circumferential surface of the friction wheel 916. When the drive disc 801 rotates, it drives the mounting cover 912 to rotate, thereby driving the friction wheel 916 and the rotating shaft 702 to rotate. Furthermore, a rubber sheet can be fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped pressure plate 914. When the arc-shaped pressure plate 914 is pressed against the circumferential surface of the friction wheel 916, the rubber sheet can deform, ensuring the friction between the rubber sheet and the friction wheel 916.

[0030] The reverse transmission component includes two rack plates 904, which are fixedly mounted on pads 903 at the bottom of the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902, respectively. A gear 905 meshes between the two rack plates 904 and is rotatably connected to the base 601. Through the meshing action of the gear 905 and the rack plates 904, the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 move in opposite directions.

[0031] A fixing plate 906 is fixedly installed on the left side of the left clamping plate 901. A sliding column 907 is fixedly installed at the bottom left end of the fixing plate 906. A turntable 908 is connected to the output end of the motor 805. The turntable 908 is located under the rotating arm 806. The top of the turntable 908 has an inner arc groove 909 and an outer arc groove 910. The radius of the outer arc groove 910 is larger than the radius of the inner arc groove 909. The ends of the inner arc groove 909 and the outer arc groove 910 are connected by a connecting groove 911. The sliding column 907 is slidably connected in the inner arc groove 909, the outer arc groove 910 and the connecting groove 911.

[0032] When the second sliding column 907 slides into the inner arc groove 909, the distance between the left clamping plate 901 and the turntable 908 is small; when the second sliding column 907 slides into the outer arc groove 910, the distance between the left clamping plate 901 and the turntable 908 is large. The turntable 908 rotates counterclockwise. When the second sliding column 907 moves along the connecting groove 911 towards the outer arc groove 910, the left clamping plate 901 moves away from the turntable 908; when the second sliding column 907 moves along the connecting groove 911 towards the inner arc groove 909, the left clamping plate 901 moves closer to the turntable 908.

[0033] Specifically, when the second sliding column 907 slides to the rear end of the outer arc groove 910, the push column 807 just inserts into the straight groove 803; when the push column 807 disengages from the straight groove 803, the second sliding column 907 slides to the front end of the outer arc groove 910. During this process, the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 are in a mutually fitted state. When the second sliding column 907 slides out from the front end of the outer arc groove 910 and enters the connecting groove 911, the arc-shaped pressure plate 914 separates from the friction wheel 916. At this time, the torsion disc body 201 resets under the elastic action of the disc spring, and the second rotating shaft 702 and the friction wheel 916 rotate in opposite directions to prevent the drive disc 801 and the mounting cover 912 from rotating in the opposite direction with the second rotating shaft 702. When the second sliding column 907 slides into the inner arc groove 909, the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 separate from the U-shaped plate 913, and the first spring 915 is in a freely extended state.

[0034] Two rack plates 904 are fixedly mounted with concave plates 917. When the two rack plates 904 move in opposite directions, the two concave plates 917 move closer to the mounting cover 912. A friction plate 918 is slidably connected to the concave plate 917. A second spring 919 is fixedly mounted between the friction plate 918 and the second spring 919. The second spring 919 is used to drive the friction plate 918 to move closer to the mounting cover 912. When the second sliding column 907 slides inside the outer arc groove 910, the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 are in contact with each other, the distance between the two concave plates 917 is relatively large, the compression distance of the second spring 919 is relatively small, and the friction between the friction plate 918 and the mounting cover 912 is relatively small; when the second sliding column 907 slides from the outer arc groove 910 to the inside of the connecting groove 911, the two concave plates 917 move closer to each other, the compression distance of the second spring 919 is large, and the friction between the mounting cover 912 and the friction plate 918 is large; this prevents the drive disc 801 and the support arm 802 from continuing to rotate under inertia.

[0035] In use, by screwing the threaded rod 505, the U-shaped frame 503 is moved from right to left along the bottom wall of the testing table 100, and the sliding column 504 slides to the left along the inclined groove 502, causing the lower support frame 500 and the fixed plate 501 to move downward, thereby causing the upper support plate 400 and the sliding frame 600 to move downward along the guide rod 300, and the transmission gear set 700 disengages from the bottom of the torsion disc body 201; Replace gear 1 (705) and gear 2 (706) with the required gear ratio. Slider 402 slides inside slide groove 401 to adapt to the gear ratio of gear 1 (705) and gear 2 (706). Then rotate U-shaped frame 503 in the opposite direction to move lower support frame 500, sliding frame 600 and upper support plate 400 upward until rotating shaft 1 (701) is inserted into connecting pipe 707 and rotating shaft 2 (702) is inserted into collar 407, thus completing the replacement of gear 1 (705) and gear 2 (706). The disc spring to be tested is placed on top of the torsion disc body 201 and the bearing ring 202. The arc-shaped push plate 203 and the arc-shaped baffle 204 are respectively snapped onto the two ends of the disc spring. The spotlight 207 shines on the indicator plate 205 and reads the initial scale on the angle scale 206 illuminated by the spotlight 207. The rotating arm 806 and the push column 807 are driven to rotate by the motor 805. The push column 807 first inserts into the straight groove 803, which pushes the drive disk 801 to rotate. Then the push column 807 disengages from the straight groove 803. During the process of the push column 807 sliding inside the straight groove 803, the sliding column 907 slides inside the outer arc groove 910. The left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 remain in a state of mutual contact. Under the squeezing action of the left clamping plate 901 or the right clamping plate 902, the arc-shaped pressure plate 914 is squeezed on the circumferential surface of the friction wheel 916. Thus, when the drive disc 801 rotates, it drives the mounting cover 912 to rotate. In conjunction with the arc-shaped pressure plate 914 squeezing on the friction wheel 916, it drives the rotating shaft 702 and the fixed plate 906 to rotate. This drives the gear 705, the rotating shaft 701 and the torsion disc body 201 to rotate, causing the torsion disc body 201 to rotate relative to the bearing ring 202, causing the disc spring to torsion. After the pusher 807 separates from the straight groove 803, the friction plate 918 is pressed against the surface of the mounting cover 912 by the elasticity of the second spring 919, so as to prevent the drive disk 801 and the mounting cover 912 from continuing to rotate under the action of inertia. At the same time, the left clamping plate 901 and the right clamping plate 902 separate, and the arc-shaped pressure plate 914 moves outward under the elastic action of the spring 915 and separates from the friction wheel 916. As a result, the torsion disc body 201 rotates in the opposite direction and resets under the elastic action of the disc spring. The friction wheel 916 rotates relative to the mounting cover 912 to prevent the drive disc 801 from rotating with the rotating shaft 702. After the torsion disc body 201 is reset, the spotlight 207 illuminates a mark on the angle scale 206 again. By measuring the difference between the marks illuminated by the spotlight 207 on the angle scale 206 before and after the torsion disc body 201 rotates, it can be determined whether the disc spring is elastic enough to return to its initial state.
