Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration damper technology for rail transit, and in particular to a testing fixture for measuring the form and position tolerances of the outer cylinder of a hydraulic vibration damper for rail vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, hydraulic shock absorbers are key components on rail vehicles, and their performance directly affects the ride comfort and safety of rail vehicles.
[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of high-speed railway technology in my country, the speed of rail vehicles has been continuously increasing, and the requirements for the safety and stability of vibration dampers have become increasingly stringent. Against this backdrop, the requirements for vibration damper manufacturing processes and component dimensional tolerances have also become increasingly stringent.
[0004] As the carrier of the damping function of the shock absorber, the perpendicularity of the end thread of the outer cylinder to the base plays an important role in the stability of the shock absorber's operation. If the requirement is not met, it will cause the piston rod of the shock absorber to deviate relative to the oil seal, which will lead to uneven wear of the piston rod or even oil leakage, seriously affecting the service life and stability of the shock absorber.
[0005] Specifically, in existing technology, a bottom valve, an inner cylinder, and a guide cover are sequentially mounted on the outer cylinder base of the shock absorber. Finally, a lock nut is used to fix and tighten the outer cylinder by connecting it to the threaded end of the outer cylinder. When the perpendicularity deviation between the outer cylinder base and the threaded end is too large, it will cause the inner cylinder to tilt. Consequently, the piston running in the inner cylinder and the piston rod connected to the piston will also tilt, leading to eccentric wear of the piston rod. Furthermore, the outer cylinder is welded from an outer cylinder seat and an outer cylinder body. The outer cylinder seat generally has two structural types: conical and flat. The perpendicularity of its thread to the outer cylinder end face cannot be directly measured.
[0006] Therefore, how to provide a testing fixture for measuring the form and position tolerances of the outer cylinder of a hydraulic shock absorber for rail vehicles, which can ensure the controllable perpendicularity of the outer cylinder seat and the thread on the end face of the outer cylinder, and effectively ensure the coaxiality of the internal components of the shock absorber, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a testing fixture for measuring the form and position tolerance of the outer cylinder of a hydraulic shock absorber for rail vehicles, which can effectively improve the reliability and service life of the shock absorber.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A testing fixture for measuring the form and position tolerances of the outer cylinder of a hydraulic shock absorber for rail vehicles includes: a fixed reference block, a movable measuring block, and a dial indicator; The fixed reference block has a first thread in the radial direction that mates with the end face of the outer cylinder body; the fixed reference block has two arc grooves, and the arc grooves are used for the rotational displacement when the dial indicator is measuring; a positioning shaft is provided in the middle of the fixed reference block; The movable measuring block has a mounting slot for placing the dial indicator, and a fastening bolt is provided on the side corresponding to the mounting slot. Tightening the fastening bolt can press the adjusting nut on the dial indicator and fix the dial indicator; a positioning hole is provided in the middle of the movable measuring block. The bushing of the dial indicator has a second thread, and the second thread mates with the adjusting nut. The installation height of the dial indicator can be adjusted by turning the adjusting nut. The adjusting nut is placed in the mounting groove of the movable measuring block and is tightened by the fastening bolt. During measurement, first, adjust the dial indicator's adjusting nut to the corresponding position according to the outer cylinder size to determine the dial indicator's installation height; then, place the dial indicator's adjusting nut in the mounting groove of the movable measuring block and tighten the fastening bolt to fix the dial indicator; tighten the fixed reference block onto the thread on the end face of the outer cylinder body; then insert the dial indicator's measuring rod into the arc groove of the fixed reference block, while simultaneously inserting the fixed reference block's positioning shaft into the positioning hole of the movable measuring block; press and rotate the movable measuring block, and move it within the arc groove of the fixed reference block, observing the maximum reading of the dial indicator to measure the perpendicularity of the outer cylinder seat to the end face thread of the outer cylinder body.
