Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing testing machines, in particular to a bearing fatigue testing machine in a salt spray environment. Background Art

[0002] During the design, research and production of bearings, they need to be tested to obtain the working performance parameters of the bearings and verify the working performance of the bearings. Specifically, the bearings are tested by simulating the actual working state of the bearings. In order to test the bearings, a corresponding testing machine will be designed according to the structural characteristics of the bearings to be tested. The testing machine generally includes a mounting structure that simulates the use of the bearings, and is provided with a loading mechanism that can apply a load to the bearing to be tested and a driving mechanism that drives the bearing to rotate, so as to simulate the actual working state of the bearings and test the bearings;

[0003] Chinese patent announcement number CN214200637U discloses a bearing testing machine, comprising a seat body and an upper cover detachably connected to the seat body, and also comprising a test shaft, the two ends of the seat body are respectively formed with supports, each of the supports is respectively provided with an outer lining assembly, the two outer lining assemblies are symmetrically arranged, each of the outer lining assemblies is respectively embedded with an inner lining assembly, the two inner lining assemblies are symmetrically arranged, test bearings are respectively installed at the two ends of the test shaft, the two test bearings are one-to-one rotatably connected in the two inner lining assemblies, and one end of the test shaft is drivingly connected to an electric spindle, the other end of the test shaft is provided with an axial loading device for providing axial force to the test bearing, and the test shaft is provided with a radial loading device at a position between the two test bearings;

[0004] In this existing design, although the bearing test seat of the existing bearing testing machine can be replaced with an outer lining assembly and an inner lining assembly embedded in the outer lining assembly, when testing bearings with different specifications but relatively small differences in outer diameter, only the inner lining assembly needs to be replaced without replacing the outer lining assembly, so that the same outer lining assembly can be used to test multiple bearings with different specifications, with relatively high utilization rate and relatively low cost. This bearing testing machine can adjust the axial spacing between two test bearings according to the size of the test bearing to avoid bending of the test shaft. By setting the outer lining assembly as two outer lining half-ring discs, when it is necessary to disassemble the test bearing, one of the outer lining half-ring discs of the outer lining can be disassembled on the seat body, and then the test shaft can be taken out, greatly reducing the weight of the components on the test shaft, making the disassembly more convenient. And because the weights at both ends of the test shaft are relatively small, the test shaft is not easily bent during the loading and unloading process, and the service life of the test shaft is relatively high. By setting the outer lining assembly as two inner lining half-ring discs, it helps to further reduce the weight on the test shaft during the loading and unloading process. In addition, during the process of disassembling and assembling the test bearing, the two inner lining half-ring discs can be separated first, and then the test bearing can be taken and placed, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and not easy to damage the test bearing, ensuring the test accuracy. However, the traditional bearing testing machine has a relatively single function and is not convenient for testing data of bearing parts in a salt spray environment;
