[0062] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. More details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can obviously be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions and derivations based on actual application situations without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should not be limited by the content of this specific embodiment.

[0063] It should be noted that these and other accompanying drawings are merely examples and are not drawn to scale, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0064] In related technologies, bearing pre-destruction tests are mainly conducted using Rockwell hardness testers or by manually tapping diamond drill bits. However, these methods lack specialized testing equipment, leading to problems such as ineffective bearing positioning and clamping, and difficulty in controlling the loading force. Therefore, this application's technical solution addresses these issues. The following section discusses... Figures 1-11 To elaborate.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this invention discloses a bearing pre-destruction device, comprising: a clamping mechanism 10, a base frame assembly 20, and a destruction loading mechanism 30. The clamping mechanism 10 is used to clamp and position the bearing inner ring 60 undergoing the destruction test. The base frame assembly 20 is disposed on one side of the clamping mechanism 10. The destruction loading mechanism 30 includes a housing 31, a loading head assembly, and a drive member 32. The housing 31 is disposed on the base frame assembly 20, the loading head assembly is slidably disposed on the housing 31, and the drive member 32 is connected to the loading head assembly. The drive member 32 can drive the loading head assembly to move, so that the loading head 33 on the loading head assembly applies a load to the bearing inner ring 60 fixed on the clamping mechanism 10, thereby completing the pre-destruction of the bearing inner ring 60.

[0066] It can be seen that by setting up dedicated equipment, the inner ring 60 of the bearing can be fixed and positioned well, and the load applied to the inner ring 60 of the bearing can be controlled by the loading head assembly, thereby effectively completing the pre-destruction test of the inner ring 60 of the bearing.

[0067] Optionally, in order to adapt to bearing inner rings 60 of different specifications and to flexibly adjust the load loading position, the base frame assembly 20 can be provided with: a fixed frame 21, a lifting frame 22, an adjusting screw 23, a support arm 24, and a drive nut 25.

[0068] The fixed frame 21 is located on one side of the clamping mechanism 10; the lifting frame 22 is movably mounted on the fixed frame 21; the first end of the adjusting screw 23 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 21 and screw-driven into the threaded hole on the lifting frame 22; the support arm 24 is located on the lifting frame 22 and is connected to the cover 31. The drive nut 25 is sleeved on the adjusting screw 23.

[0069] By clamping the drive nut 25 with a wrench or other tools, the adjusting screw 23 can be rotated, thereby moving the lifting frame 22 away from or closer to the fixed frame 21, thus achieving the height adjustment of the destructive loading mechanism 30. Here, the height direction is consistent with the lifting direction of the lifting frame 22.

[0070] Optionally, the base frame assembly 20 also includes a guide rod 26. The first end of the guide rod 26 is fixed to the fixed frame 21, and the extension direction of the guide rod 26 is consistent with that of the lifting frame 22. The through hole on the lifting frame 22 is movably fitted onto the guide rod 26. Through the guiding action of the guide rod 26, the lifting frame 22 can be prevented from deviating from the predetermined path during lifting, thereby improving the motion accuracy.

[0071] Furthermore, multiple guide rods 26 can be provided, such as four, to further improve the guiding effect.

[0072] Furthermore, the lifting frame 22 is equipped with clamps 27, which correspond one-to-one with guide rods 26. The hollow area formed between the clamps 27 and the lifting frame 22 corresponds to the through holes provided on the lifting frame 22, and the guide rods 26 pass through the hollow area and the through holes in sequence. In this way, firstly, the guiding effect of the guide rods 26 on the lifting frame 22 can be improved; secondly, the clamps 27, in conjunction with the lifting frame 22, can clamp the guide rods 26 to a certain extent, achieving auxiliary limiting.

[0073] Furthermore, the base frame assembly 20 also includes an auxiliary support frame 28, a lifting frame 22 located between the auxiliary support frame 28 and the fixed frame 21, a second end of a guide rod 26 fixed to the auxiliary support frame 28, and a second end of an adjusting screw 23 rotatably mounted on the auxiliary support frame 28. The auxiliary support frames 28 are arranged in pairs along the width direction of the base frame assembly 20, and each auxiliary support frame 28 is connected to multiple guide rods 26. The multiple guide rods 26 connected to the auxiliary support frame 28 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the base frame assembly 20, which can improve the structural stability of the base frame assembly 20.

[0074] Optionally, one of the support arm 24 and the lifting frame 22 is provided with a guide rail, and the other is provided with a slide groove. The slide groove and the guide rail are slidably engaged. The support arm 24 is slidably mounted on the lifting frame 22 through the guide rail and the slide groove. The sliding direction of the support arm 24 is different from the lifting direction of the lifting frame 22. The sliding direction of the support arm 24 can be understood as the length direction of the base frame assembly 20, or as the radial direction of the clamping mechanism 10, so as to realize the position adjustment of the destructive loading mechanism 30 along the radial direction of the clamping mechanism 10, improve the adjustment flexibility of the pre-set destructive device, and improve the compatibility with bearing inner rings 60 of different specifications.

[0075] Furthermore, the support arm 24 is equipped with a guide rail, and the lifting frame 22 is equipped with a T-shaped slide groove. After the support arm 24 is adjusted to the required position, its position can be fixed by the T-bolt and nut assembly, which will not be described in detail here.

[0076] Optionally, the base frame assembly 20 also includes a rocker arm 29, which is rotatably connected to the support arm 24. The cover 31 is connected to the support arm 24 through the rocker arm 29. By rotating the rocker arm 29, the tilt position of the destructive loading mechanism 30 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the direction of the load applied to the bearing inner ring 60, improving the adjustment flexibility of the pre-set destructive device, and improving the compatibility with bearing inner rings 60 of different specifications.

[0077] Furthermore, the support arm 24 is provided with a pair of lugs at one end connected to the rocker arm 29, and the rocker arm 29 is located between the pair of lugs. By passing fasteners through the lugs and the rocker arm 29, the damped rotation of the rocker arm 29 can be realized, as well as the rocker arm 29 can be fixed after being adjusted to a suitable angle.

[0078] Furthermore, the cover 31 is provided with a flange ring 311, through which the rocker arm 29 passes and is overlapped on the rocker arm 29 by the flange ring 311. Multiple sets of bolt fastening components are passed between the rocker arm 29 and the flange ring 311, thereby improving the connection stability between the destructive loading mechanism 30 and the rocker arm 29.

[0079] Optionally, the loading head assembly includes a sliding seat 34, a fixed seat 35, and a loading head 33 arranged sequentially. The sliding seat 34 is slidably disposed in the cover 31, and a driving member 32 is connected to the sliding seat 34. The driving member 32 can drive the loading head 33 to slide with the sliding seat 34.

[0080] Furthermore, the sliding seat 34 and the fixed seat 35 are threaded together, the loading head 33 is inserted into the fixed seat 35, and the fixed seat 35 is fixed to the loading head 33 by passing through the set screw 36, thereby realizing the disassembly and replacement between them.

[0081] Furthermore, a pair of limiting pins 37 are provided on the sliding seat 34, the sliding seat 34 is located between the pair of limiting pins 37, and the sliding seat 34 is provided with a sliding groove. The sliding seat 34 slides and the limiting pins 37 to prevent the sliding seat 34 from detaching abnormally.

[0082] Optionally, the clamping mechanism 10 is a chuck assembly, such as a three-jaw chuck. Specifically, the clamping mechanism 10 includes a chuck body 11, a plurality of jaw seats 12 movably disposed on the chuck body 11, and jaws 13 disposed on the jaw seats 12. A jaw drive mechanism connecting the jaw seats 12 is disposed within the chuck body 11. The plurality of jaws 13 are arranged around the rotational axis of the chuck body 11, and the plurality of jaws 13 form an area for mounting the bearing inner ring 60. The jaw drive mechanism can control the plurality of jaws 13 to retract radially or move away from each other to achieve fixing or releasing the bearing inner ring 60.

[0083] Furthermore, a protective pad can be provided on the portion of the chuck 13 facing the inner ring 60 of the bearing to prevent hard contact from damaging the inner ring 60 of the bearing.

[0084] Optionally, the chuck 13 can be adapted to the specifications of the bearing inner ring 60 via a chuck adapter to position the chuck 13 at different locations on the chuck seat 12, for example... Figure 1 The chuck 13 shown is used to clamp the inner ring 60 of the bearing with an inner diameter of φ120mm~φ260mm. Figure 2 The chuck 13 shown is used to clamp the bearing inner ring 60 with an inner diameter of φ260mm~φ450mm via a chuck adapter seat, which will not be described in detail here.

[0085] Optionally, a first mounting ring 14 is provided around the periphery of the clamping mechanism 10. The first mounting ring 14 and the chuck body 11 are coaxially arranged. The side of the fixing frame 21 facing the first mounting ring 14 is a first arc surface. The fixing frame 21 slides with the first mounting ring 14 through the first arc surface and the side of the ring, so that the base frame assembly 20 can move along the circumference of the clamping mechanism 10. For example, the fixing frame 21 and the first mounting ring 14 slide in contact, or the fixing frame 21 and the first mounting ring 14 are slidably connected by setting a slider and a slide rail, etc., thereby realizing the overall position adjustment of the base frame assembly 20 and improving the adjustment flexibility of the device of the present invention.

[0086] Optionally, the pre-destruction test typically requires selecting multiple destruction locations along the circumference of the bearing inner ring 60. To ensure uniform distribution among the destruction locations, the pre-destruction device can include a marking component 40, which includes a dial 41, a movable pen holder 42, and a marking pen 43. The dial 41 is mounted on the clamping mechanism 10; the movable pen holder 42 is located on the clamping mechanism 10 and can move circumferentially along it; the marking pen 43 is movably located on the movable pen holder 42 and can move radially along the clamping mechanism 10. The clamping mechanism 10, dial 41, and marking pen 43 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the clamping mechanism 10. The marking pen 43 is used to mark the position of the bearing inner ring 60, either near or away from it. Angle positioning can be achieved on the dial 41 through marking lines, thereby controlling the angle between adjacent destruction locations on the bearing inner ring 60. The specific principle will be explained in the usage method section below.

[0087] Optionally, the marking component 40 also includes a limiting member 44, with the marking pen 43 positioned between the limiting member 44 on the first side of the dial 41 and the limiting member 44 on the second side of the dial 41. The area defined by the limiting member 44 on the first side of the dial 41 and the limiting member 44 on the second side of the dial 41, i.e., the maximum interval angle between adjacent damage positions on the inner ring 60 of the bearing, facilitates marking by the marking pen 43. The specific principle will be explained in the usage method later. It should be noted that the marking pen 43 can achieve the maximum interval angle between adjacent damage positions on the inner ring 60 of the bearing by contacting the limiting members 44 on both sides of the dial 41, or the marking pen 43 can align with the scale on the dial 41 to make the interval angle between adjacent damage positions on the inner ring 60 of the bearing smaller than the maximum interval angle, which will not be detailed here.

[0088] Optionally, the limiting member 44 is a fixing bolt, through which the dial 41 passes and is threaded to the clamping mechanism 10. The dial 41 is fixed between the clamping mechanism 10 and the bolt head of the limiting member 44. The marking pen 43 is positioned between the bolt head of the limiting member 44 on the first side of the dial 41 and the bolt head of the limiting member 44 on the second side of the dial 41. In this way, the limiting member 44 can be used for both disassembly and fixation of the dial 41, and can also limit the maximum interval angle between adjacent damage positions on the inner ring 60 of the bearing, thereby realizing the reuse of the limiting member 44.

[0089] Optionally, the marking assembly 40 also includes a pressure plate 45, which is connected to a movable pen holder 42. The marking pen 43 passes through the space enclosed by the pressure plate 45 and the movable pen holder 42. The pressure plate 45 can press and fix the marking pen 43 to the movable pen holder 42, and can also release the marking pen 43 so that the marking pen 43 can move, making it convenient to use the marking assembly 40.

[0090] Optionally, the dial 41 and the destructive loading mechanism 30 are offset from each other to prevent them from interfering with each other when in use.

[0091] Optionally, the driving component 32 can be any mechanism capable of driving the loading head 33 to move, such as a push rod mechanism. In this application, the driving component 32 is set as a driving screw, which is screw-driven and cooperates with the cover 31, and is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 34. The pre-set destruction device also includes a load calibration assembly 50, which includes a loading block 51, a pressure sensor 52, a controller 53, and an industrial computer 54. The pressure sensor 52, the controller 53, and the industrial computer 54 are electrically connected in sequence, and the loading block 51 is located on the pressure sensor 52.

[0092] In use, the base frame assembly 20 first controls the loading mechanism 30 to move to the calibration station so that the loading head 33 corresponds to the loading block 51; then, the digital torque wrench applies torque to the drive component 32 so that the drive component 32 can drive the loading head 33 to apply load to the loading block 51; the pressure sensor 52 can respond to the load applied to the loading block 51 to generate a load signal; the industrial control computer 54 can respond to the load signal transmitted by the controller 53 to record the load value applied to the loading block 51; when the load value recorded by the industrial control computer 54 meets the requirements for destroying the inner ring 60 of the bearing, the torque value displayed by the digital torque wrench at this time is recorded, thus completing the calibration.

[0093] Subsequently, the base frame assembly 20 controls the destructive loading mechanism 30 to transfer to the loading station so that the loading head 33 corresponds to the bearing inner ring 60. Then, the digital torque wrench transmits torque to the drive component 32 according to the calibrated torque value, thereby controlling the load loaded on the bearing inner ring 60 and improving the load control accuracy of this application.

[0094] In some alternative implementations, two sets of jaws 13 can also be provided simultaneously to clamp two bearing inner rings 60 of different specifications, for example... Figure 5 As shown, the two sets of jaws 13 are jaw #1 and jaw #2, and the two bearing inner rings 60 are bearing inner ring #1 and bearing inner ring #2, respectively. The inner diameter of bearing inner ring #1 is in the range of φ120mm to φ260mm, and the inner diameter of bearing inner ring #2 is in the range of φ260mm to φ450mm. More preferably, the inner diameter of bearing inner ring #1 is in the range of φ120mm to φ200mm, and the inner diameter of bearing inner ring #2 is in the range of φ300mm to φ450mm, to prevent mutual interference.

[0095] In use, claw #1 and claw #2 are simultaneously provided on the claw base 12. Claw #1 and claw #2 are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of claw base 12. One of claw #1 and claw #2 can be fixed to claw base 12, and the other can be slidably connected to claw base 12. A screw adjustment component can be provided between claw #1 and claw #2. For example, claw #1 is fixed to claw base 12, and claw #2 is slidably connected to claw base 12.

[0096] First, the #2 chuck is brought closer to the #1 chuck by adjusting the screw. Then, the #1 bearing inner ring is installed on the clamping mechanism 10. The chuck drive mechanism drives the #1 chuck to clamp and fix the #1 bearing inner ring. Then, the #2 bearing inner ring is installed on the clamping mechanism 10 so that the #1 bearing inner ring is located in the #2 bearing inner ring. Then, the #2 chuck is moved away from the #1 chuck by adjusting the screw until the #2 chuck clamps the #2 bearing inner ring, thus completing the fixing of the #2 bearing inner ring.

[0097] Install a dial indicator or micrometer on the rocker arm 29 as a measuring tool, and make the indicator head contact the inner ring of bearing #2; keep the base frame assembly 20 and the first mounting ring 14 in contact, and control the base frame assembly 20 to rotate around the clamping mechanism 10 one revolution to observe the change of the measuring tool reading. When the change of the measuring tool reading is within the preset range, it is considered that the inner rings of bearing #1 and bearing #2 are concentric, and the subsequent process is carried out. If the change of the measuring tool reading is greater than the preset range, the position of the #2 chuck is adjusted by the screw adjustment component, and then the position of the inner ring of bearing #2 is adjusted until the inner ring of bearing #2 is concentric with the inner ring of bearing #1.

[0098] Then, the position and attitude of the destructive loading mechanism 30 are adjusted by the base frame assembly 20 to conduct pre-destructive loading tests on the inner rings of bearings #2 and #1, respectively.

[0099] This application also discloses a bearing failure method applied to the aforementioned bearing pre-failure device. The bearing failure method includes:

[0100] Step S100: Disassemble the bearing and remove the inner ring 60 for later use;

[0101] Step S200: Fix the clamping mechanism 10 to the platform, and clamp the bearing inner ring 60 onto the clamping mechanism 10; wherein, depending on the inner diameter of the bearing inner ring 60, a chuck adapter seat is selected for installation, so that the chuck 13 is in different positions on the chuck seat 12. Specifically, for bearing inner rings 60 with inner diameters of φ120mm-φ260mm, the following is used: Figure 1 As shown, the inner ring 60 of the bearing with an inner diameter of φ260mm-φ450mm is as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the bearing inner ring 60 is clamped with reference to the inner bore surface.

[0102] Step S300: Perform the loading head 33 adjustment process, including: adjusting the loading head 33 to the corresponding bearing inner ring 60; specifically, including:

[0103] By rotating the adjusting screw 23, the lifting frame 22 is moved away from or closer to the fixed frame 21, thereby making the height position of the loading head 33 correspond to the inner ring 60 of the bearing;

[0104] By moving the support arm 24, the radial position of the loading head 33 is made to correspond to the inner ring 60 of the bearing;

[0105] By rotating the rocker arm 29, the direction of load application on the inner ring 60 of the bearing can be adjusted;

[0106] By controlling the base frame assembly 20 to move along the circumference of the clamping mechanism 10, the position of the loading head 33 is adjusted, thereby making the positions of the dial 41 and the loading head 33 offset from each other, so as to prevent the positions of the marking assembly 40 and the destructive loading mechanism 30 from interfering with each other when performing the preset destruction process and calibration process described later.

[0107] Step S400: Perform the marking process, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it includes:

[0108] Move the marker pen 43 along with the movable pen holder 42 to the first side of the dial 41;

[0109] Loosen the pressure plate 45 to release the marker pen 43;

[0110] Move the marker pen 43 to mark the inner ring 60 of the bearing to form the marking position P; Figure 1 The marking P is located on the outer ring surface of the inner ring 60 of the bearing. Figure 2 The marking P is located on the inner ring surface of the bearing inner ring 60;

[0111] Move the marker pen 43 away from the inner ring 60 of the bearing;

[0112] Press the pressure plate 45 to fix the marking pen 43.

[0113] Step S500: Perform the pre-set destruction process, such as...Figure 7 As shown, it includes: controlling the drive unit 32 to drive the loading head 33 to apply a load to the bearing inner ring 60 until the bearing inner ring 60 is pre-damaged, forming the damage position Q.

[0114] Step S600: Perform the indexing operation, such as... Figure 8 As shown, it includes:

[0115] Move the marker pen 43 along with the movable pen holder 42 to the second side of the dial 41;

[0116] The clamping mechanism 10 releases the inner ring 60 of the bearing;

[0117] Rotate the inner ring 60 of the bearing so that the mark position P on the inner ring 60 corresponding to the first side of the dial 41 is moved to the second side of the dial 41 to correspond to the mark pen 43.

[0118] The clamping mechanism 10 controls the fixing of the bearing inner ring 60;

[0119] Steps S400 to S600 are executed repeatedly, as follows: Figures 9-11 As shown, the bearing continues to rotate until the inner ring 60 completes one revolution, thus completing the pre-set failure at each indexing position. Among these, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the repeating marking process of the present invention; Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the repeated pre-set destruction process of the present invention; Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the repeatable indexing process of the present invention. By setting the marking component 40, the indexing of more than 60 failure positions Q of the bearing inner ring can be realized, so that the failure positions Q are evenly distributed.

[0120] Optionally, the pre-destruction process in step S500 typically uses a torque wrench to control the torque applied to the drive component 32, thereby controlling the load applied to the bearing inner ring 60. If further control of the load magnitude is desired, the load can be pre-calibrated, as follows:

[0121] Before the loading head 33 adjustment process in step S300, the bearing failure method further includes performing a calibration process, which includes:

[0122] In the industrial control computer 54, a load threshold is preset. The load threshold is the load value that will cause the inner ring 60 of the bearing to fail.

[0123] Adjust the loading head 33 to the calibration position so that the loading head 33 corresponds to the loading block 51;

[0124] The drive component 32 is rotated by a digital torque wrench to drive the loading head 33 to apply a load to the loading block 51;

[0125] Pressure sensor 52 responds to the load applied to loading block 51 to generate a load signal;

[0126] The industrial computer 54 responds to the load signal transmitted by the controller 53 to record the load value applied to the loading block 51;

[0127] When the load value recorded by the industrial control computer 54 reaches the load threshold, the drive component 32 is stopped from rotating, and the torque value applied to the load threshold is recorded, which is the reading displayed on the digital torque wrench.

[0128] The pre-set destruction process in step S500 includes: applying a torque value corresponding to the load threshold to the drive component 32 with a digital torque wrench, thereby driving the loading head 33 to apply a load of the load threshold to the bearing inner ring 60, thereby destroying the bearing inner ring 60.
