Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of testing machines, in particular to a wave spring service life testing machine. Background Art

[0002] Wave spring is an elastic element, which is made of elastic material, usually steel or other alloy materials. Wave spring is characterized by good elasticity, strong fatigue resistance, simple structure, light weight, etc., so it is widely used in machinery manufacturing, automobiles, electronic equipment, household appliances and other fields.

[0003] After the production of wave springs is completed, a service life tester is needed to test their service life. Existing spring life testers, such as the Chinese utility model with application number 201720174476.6, use a cylinder to drive the telescopic rod to extend and retract, thereby driving the pressing block to move up and down to detect the spring to be tested. During the detection process, the cylinder and the telescopic rod need to move back and forth frequently, resulting in a short service life and a high failure rate for the cylinder and the telescopic rod. At the same time, the lower end of the spring is fixed by clamping, and the clamping force is not easy to control. A small clamping force will result in a poor fixing effect, and a large clamping force will easily damage the spring. Utility Model Content

[0023] The utility model will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Combined with Figure 1-2 A positioning mechanism is provided on the base plate 1, and the positioning mechanism positions the lower end of the wave spring.

The lower end surface of the base plate 1 is provided with a two-way cylinder 14, and the piston rod of the two-way cylinder 14 is connected to the connecting piece 15.

[0025] When in use, the wave spring to be tested is placed in the positioning groove 12, the piston rod of the two-way cylinder 14 is retracted, and the positioning plate 13 is driven to move relative to it through the connecting plate 15. The positioning plate 13 is inserted into the gap at the lower end of the wave spring to fix the position of the lower end of the spring. The shape characteristics of the wave spring are used for positioning, and the positioning effect is good without causing damage to the wave spring.

[0026] Combined with Figure 1-2 The upper end surface of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a vertical rod 3, the upper end of the vertical rod 3 is provided with a top plate 4, a lifting plate 5 is provided below the top plate 4, the upper end surface of the top plate 4 is provided with a height adjustment mechanism, the height adjustment mechanism adjusts the height of the lifting plate 5, the height adjustment mechanism includes a cylinder 16 and a transmission rod 17, the upper end surface of the top plate 4 is provided with a cylinder 16, the piston rod of the cylinder 16 is connected to the lifting plate 5 through the transmission rod 17, and the lifting plate 5 is slidably connected to the vertical rod 3.

[0027] According to the specifications of the wave spring to be tested, the piston rod of the cylinder 16 is extended and retracted, and the lifting plate 5 is driven to move through the transmission rod 17. The lifting plate 5 slides on the vertical rod 3, and the vertical rod 3 guides the movement direction of the lifting plate 5. The lifting and lowering of the lifting plate 5 adjusts the initial height of the pressing plate 2, thereby adapting to the testing of wave springs of different specifications.
