DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] Example 1: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a steel ball clamping device suitable for a friction and wear testing machine includes a clamping head 1 for connecting to the friction testing machine. The clamping head 1 is a cylindrical structure. The clamping head 1 can be connected to the head of the friction testing machine through a coupling. In this embodiment, a connecting thread groove 10 is provided on the upper end of the clamping head 1, and the head of the friction testing machine is connected to the connecting thread groove 10, which is convenient for disassembly, cleaning and replacement of the clamping head 1.
[0021] A steel ball base 2 is provided at the lower end of the chuck 1, and the steel ball base 2 is fixedly connected to the chuck 1. The steel ball base 2 is a disc structure, and a plurality of spherical grooves 3 are provided at the bottom of the steel ball base 2. Steel balls 4 are placed in the spherical grooves 3. A bottom cover 5 is provided below the steel ball base 2, and a limiting spherical groove 6 adapted to the steel ball 4 is provided on the bottom cover 5. A through hole 7 for exposing the steel ball 4 is provided at the bottom of the limiting spherical groove 6. The diameter of the steel ball 4 is larger than the depth of the spherical groove 3, so that after the bottom cover 5 is installed below the steel ball base 2, the steel ball 4 can be exposed from the through hole 7 for friction and wear.
[0022] The steel ball base 2 and the bottom cover 5 are both provided with threaded holes 9 that cooperate with the fastening screws 8. The fastening screws 8 are countersunk screws. The steel ball base 2 and the bottom cover 5 are connected by the fastening screws 8. By connecting the steel ball base 2 and the bottom cover 5, the steel ball 4 is clamped and limited. The spherical groove 3 and the limiting spherical groove 6 increase the contact area with the steel ball 4, so that the steel ball 4 can rotate but cannot jump left and right or roll in a circle. The steel ball can be clamped conveniently, quickly and stably, meeting the test requirements of the steel ball friction pair for stability.
[0023] In this embodiment, the fastening screws 8 include a central fastening screw 801 and a plurality of circumferential fastening screws 802 . The central fastening screw 801 is arranged at the center of the bottom cover 5 , and the circumferential fastening screws 802 are distributed along the same pitch circle.
[0024] During disassembly and assembly, the tightening screws 8 need to be tightened from the center to the periphery in multiple times to ensure that the steel ball base 2 and the bottom cover 5 are parallel and without warping, so as to ensure the stability of the clamping force during the test.
[0025] The working principle of this device is as follows:
[0026] When in use, first place the device upside down with the spherical groove 3 of the steel ball base 2 facing upward, place the steel ball 4 in the spherical groove 3 of the steel ball base 2, then connect the bottom cover 5 and the steel ball base 2 with the fastening screws 8, tighten the fastening screws 8 to clamp the steel ball 4, and then connect the chuck 1 to the motor spindle of the friction and wear testing machine to carry out the friction and wear test.
[0027] Embodiment 2: Different from embodiment 1, as Figure 5 As shown, a positioning rod 11 is provided on the upper side of the bottom cover 5 , and a positioning hole 12 matching with the positioning rod 11 is provided on the steel ball base 2 .
[0028] When the bottom cover 5 and the steel ball base 2 are closed, the bottom cover 5 is positioned by inserting the positioning rod 11 on the upper side of the bottom cover 5 into the positioning hole 12 of the steel ball base 2, so as to facilitate the alignment of the threaded holes 9 on the steel ball base 2 and the bottom cover 5, so that the spherical groove 3 and the limiting spherical groove 6 are correspondingly arranged, and the steel ball 4 is limited and fixed, which is convenient for installation.
