Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spring stiffness testing, and particularly relates to an auxiliary device for testing the lateral stiffness of a spring. Background Technique

[0002] The spring lateral stiffness test is to apply a lateral force to the spring through a spring lateral stiffness testing machine, then measure the deformation of the spring, and finally calculate the lateral stiffness of the spring according to the relationship between the force and the deformation. This test is generally carried out after the spring is produced to ensure that the performance of the spring meets the requirements. If the lateral stiffness of the spring does not meet the standard, problems may occur during its use, such as excessive deformation, loss of elasticity, etc.

[0003] In a patent document with the existing patent application number 201820239903.9, an auxiliary device for testing the lateral stiffness of a spring is disclosed, and specifically discloses including a base plate. At least three inverted T-shaped grooves intersecting at one point are arranged on the upper surface of the base plate. A connecting bolt is clamped in the inverted T-shaped groove, and the connecting bolt is also

[0004] threadedly connected with a pressing block for pressing the spring to be tested. A fixing nut is also threadedly connected to the connecting bolt. The upper and lower surfaces of the pressing block respectively abut against the upper surface of the base plate and the lower surface of the fixing nut; through the above scheme, the device can effectively fix one end of the spring. However, during the test, after the spring is fixed, it is tested by a spring lateral stiffness testing machine. After the test is completed, the next spring is replaced for testing, which will result in a relatively long time interval between the tests of the two springs, and the test efficiency of the spring is relatively low.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0023] In order to solve the technical problem of low testing efficiency of the lateral stiffness of a spring, the utility model provides an auxiliary device for testing the lateral stiffness of a spring, which can effectively improve the testing efficiency of the lateral stiffness of the spring.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , Figures 1-4An auxiliary device for testing the lateral stiffness of a spring in an embodiment of the present utility model includes a rotating mechanism 1 and a fixing mechanism 2. The rotating mechanism 1 includes a turntable 11, and the turntable 11 can rotate around its own axis. A plurality of the fixing mechanisms 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the turntable 11. The fixing mechanism 2 includes two vertical plates 21, an adjusting member 22, and two clamping members 23. One of the vertical plates 21 is fixedly connected to the turntable 11, the adjusting member 22 is arranged on the turntable 11 and connected to the other vertical plate 21. The adjusting member 22 is used to adjust the distance between the two vertical plates 21. The two clamping members 23 are respectively arranged on the sides of the two vertical plates 21 close to each other, and the two clamping members 23 are respectively used to fix the opposite ends of the spring.

[0025] It should be noted that the auxiliary device for testing the lateral stiffness of the spring can be used in cooperation with the spring lateral stiffness testing machine B. After the fixing mechanism 2 fixes and clamps the spring, a lateral force is applied to the spring by the spring lateral stiffness testing machine B, and then the deformation amount of the spring is measured. Finally, according to the relationship between the force and the deformation amount, the lateral stiffness of the spring can be calculated.

[0026] Based on the above solution, the rotating mechanism 1 further includes a support platform 12 and a driving motor 13. The driving motor 13 is fixedly arranged on the support platform 12, and the output end of the driving motor 13 is fixedly connected to the center of the turntable 11. Specifically, the turntable 11 is driven by the driving motor 13 to rotate around its own axis, so that the springs fixed in each fixing mechanism 2 correspond to the extrusion shaft of the spring lateral stiffness testing machine B one by one. Among them, the number of the fixing mechanisms 2 is 2 - 6, and in this specific embodiment, the number of the fixing mechanisms 2 is 4.

[0027] In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the rotation of the turntable 11, specifically, a plurality of bull's-eye bearings 14 for supporting the turntable 11 are arranged at intervals on the support platform 12. It should be noted that the plurality of bull's-eye bearings 14 are arranged along the circumference of the turntable 11.

[0028] It should be noted that the adjusting member 22 is not limited to a certain specific structure, as long as it can adjust the distance between the two vertical plates 21, and no other details will be elaborated here.

[0029] In this specific embodiment, the adjusting member 22 includes a slide rail 221, a slider 222, a bottom plate 223, and a locking portion 224. The slide rail 221 is fixedly arranged on the turntable 11, the slider 222 is slidably connected to the slide rail 221, the bottom plate 223 is fixedly connected to the other vertical plate 21, the locking portion 224 is arranged on the bottom plate 223, and the locking portion 224 can limit the relative sliding of the slider 222 and the slide rail 221.

[0030] Among them, the locking portion 224 includes a sleeve 2241, an elastic member 2242, a bolt 2243, and a handle 2244. The sleeve 2241 is fixed on the bottom plate 223. A strip-shaped groove is formed in the side wall of the sleeve 2241 along the axial direction. The elastic member 2242 is arranged inside the sleeve 2241. One end of the bolt 2243 slides through the sleeve 2241 and abuts against the elastic member 2242. One end of the handle 2244 extends into the sleeve 2241 through the strip-shaped groove and is fixed to the bolt 2243. A plurality of limiting holes 2210 are spaced along the length direction of the slide rail 221. The other end of the bolt 2243 can be inserted into each of the limiting holes respectively.

[0031] It should be noted that a through hole is formed in the bottom plate 223. After the other end of the bolt 2243 passes through the through hole, it can be inserted into a limiting hole 2210. Among them, the elastic member 2242 is a return spring.

[0032] In addition, the two clamping members 23 have the same structure. The clamping member 23 includes a first limiting block 231, a second limiting block 232, a connecting plate 233, and a threaded screw rod 234. The first limiting block 231 is fixed on the vertical plate 21. The second limiting block 232 is slidably arranged on the vertical plate 21. The connecting plate 233 is fixed on the vertical plate 21. The threaded screw rod 234 is in threaded rotational connection with the connecting plate 233 and is rotatably connected to one end of the second limiting block 232. The threaded screw rod 234 is used to adjust the distance between the first limiting block 231 and the second limiting block 232. Among them, a rotating handwheel 235 is fixed to the other end of the threaded screw rod 234.

[0033] It should be noted that after the first limiting block 231 and the second limiting block 232 are inserted into the inside of one end of the spring, by rotating the threaded screw rod 234, the relative sliding between the first limiting block 231 and the second limiting block 232 can be driven, and the distance between the first limiting block 231 and the second limiting block 232 can be adjusted, so that the first limiting block 231 and the second limiting block 232 abut against the inner wall of the spring to fix one end of the spring. On the basis of the above solution, convex portions are provided on the opposite sides of the first limiting block 231 and the second limiting block 232. In one embodiment, the cross sections of the first limiting block 231 and the second limiting block 232 are semi-circular. When the first limiting block 231 and the second limiting block 232 are fitted together, a cylindrical structure can be formed.

[0034] To better understand the present invention, the following is combined with Figures 1 through 4 to elaborate on the technical solution of the present invention in detail:

[0035] By fixing each spring in each fixing mechanism 2 and driving the turntable to rotate around its own axis by the driving motor 13, each spring in each fixing mechanism 2 is successively rotated to directly below the extrusion shaft of the spring lateral stiffness testing machine B. By applying a lateral force to the spring through the extrusion shaft and then measuring the deformation amount of the spring, it can avoid the situation where the operator is idle and the spring testing efficiency is low during the process of the spring lateral stiffness testing machine applying a lateral force to the spring.

Any other corresponding changes and deformations made according to the technical concept of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
