Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details are presented in the embodiments of this invention to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments. The division of the following embodiments is for ease of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of this invention. The embodiments can be combined with and referenced by each other without contradiction.

[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the components work together through mechanical transmission and control systems to achieve manual feeding, automatic clamping and pressing, force application, displacement monitoring, and test result generation. The following provides a detailed description of each component.

[0022] Overall structure (combined) Figure 1 ) The main body of the device is placed on the base 1, and the arrangement from left to right is as follows: left displacement monitoring component 4 → clamping test component 3 → clamping and positioning component 2 → right displacement monitoring component 5.

[0023] Each component is rigidly connected to the base 1 and works in coordination through the control system.

[0024] Clamping and positioning components (combined) Figure 2 ) Function: Adjust the vertical position of the test motor 6 and clamp it in place by pressing it with the positioning and clamping cylinder 23.

[0025] Structure: The clamping and positioning assembly is rigidly connected to the base plate 1 via the base plate 21.

[0026] ①Up and down adjustment unit: The first slide servo motor 24 drives the V-shaped bracket 22 on the first mounting base 26 to move up and down, adjusting the test motor 6 to a suitable clamping position.

[0027] ② Clamping and positioning unit: Manually adjust the position of the positioning and clamping cylinder 23 on the first linear module 25 to ensure that the positioning and clamping cylinder 23 can press against the outer circle of the test motor 6 housing after it moves downward.

[0028] Clamping test components (combined) Figure 3 ) Function: During the axial clearance test, the test motor 6 shaft extension is clamped and the corresponding test force is applied.

[0029] structure: ① Left and right adjustment unit: The second slide servo motor 31 drives the gripper cylinder 35 to move left and right to the appropriate shaft extension position through the second linear module 34.

[0030] ② Adaptive clamping unit: The gripper cylinder 35 is mounted on the first linear slide 36. When the gripper cylinder 35 moves to clamp the shaft extension, the position of the gripper cylinder 35 can be adaptively adjusted so that the center of the gripper is aligned with the center of the shaft.

[0031] ③Force application unit: The force application test cylinder 3-3 is controlled by a proportional valve to drive the gripper to move left and right on the second linear slide 37, providing test force for axial clearance detection.

[0032] During the test, the limiting cylinder 32 controls the extension and retraction actions to limit the piston of the force test cylinder 33 to always be in the middle position of the cylinder, so that the gripper cylinder 35 has enough space to move when the shaft extends left and right.

[0033] Left displacement monitoring component (combined with) Figure 4 ) Function: Monitors and tests the displacement change of the 6 shaft extensions of the test motor under the action of test force, and the results are used to calculate the axial clearance value.

[0034] Structure: The left displacement monitoring component is rigidly connected to the base 1 via the second mounting bracket 42.

[0035] During the axial clearance detection process, the position of the left displacement sensor 44 on the third slide servo motor 41 is adjusted until the telescopic probe contacts the shaft extension end face of the test motor 6, with a compression of about 3mm.

[0036] Right displacement monitoring component (combined with) Figure 5 ) Function: Monitors and tests the displacement change of the motor housing under test force, and uses the results to calculate the axial clearance value.

[0037] Structure: The right displacement monitoring component is rigidly connected to the base 1 via the fourth slide servo motor 51.

[0038] The right displacement sensor 53 is mounted on the fourth slide servo motor 51 via a cross slide 52, where the cross slide 52 is used to manually adjust the front and rear positions of the right displacement sensor 53. During axial clearance detection, the left and right positions of the right displacement sensor 53 on the fourth slide servo motor 51 are adjusted until the telescopic probe contacts the end face of the tail housing of the test motor 6, with a compression of about 3mm.

[0039] The testing principle of this invention is as follows: During the axial clearance test, the gripper cylinder 35 clamps the motor shaft extension and pushes it to the right with a specified test force. At this time, the left displacement sensor 44 collects the current position Z1 of the shaft extension, and the right displacement sensor 53 collects the current position Y1 of the housing. After completing the above operation, the shaft extension is clamped and pulled to the left with a specified test force. At this time, the left displacement sensor 44 collects the current position Z2 of the shaft extension, and the right displacement sensor 53 collects the current position Y2 of the housing. Since the larger the compression of the two displacement sensor probes, the larger the collected value, the axial clearance of the motor L can be calculated as L = Z2 + Y2 - Z1 - Y1.

[0040] As described above, this invention enables efficient detection of axial clearance in single-shaft motors, providing consistent test data and high repeatability. It offers valuable reference for assembly and adjustment personnel, further enhancing overall motor performance and delivery quality. The motor clamping scheme, employing a rubber-coated V-shaped bracket and a movable clamping cylinder with a polyurethane clamping block, reliably clamps motors of different diameters and lengths, protecting the motor's appearance while significantly improving the versatility of the testing device. The left and right servo-driven floating gripper scheme effectively clamps motor shafts of varying diameters and lengths, ensuring the force applied by the test cylinder and the motor axis are aligned, preventing strain and improving test accuracy. Two high-precision contact displacement sensors simultaneously monitor changes in motor shaft displacement and minor axial movement of the motor during testing, compensating for this movement through algorithms, greatly enhancing test accuracy. A proportional valve controls the test cylinder, allowing precise adjustment of the test force to meet the testing requirements of different motor models.

[0041] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments can be modified in form and detail in practical applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
