Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a test tool for the pull-off force of a bushing gasket. Background Technique
[0002] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a bushing commonly used in an automotive chassis generally includes an inner bushing tube 1', a bushing rubber body, and an outer bushing tube 2'. The bushing assembly is assembled in a spreader bracket 3' by bolts 4'. Bolt connection is one of the most widely used detachable connection methods in the current automotive chassis. To ensure the reliability of the threaded connection body and enable it to normally perform its use functions, it is necessary to ensure that the threaded connection reaches the initial pre-tightening force. When the tightening torque increases, the axial pre-tightening force on the inner bushing tube 1' increases accordingly. To ensure that the increased pre-tightening force does not cause the inner bushing tube 1' to be crushed, strength verification is required. Considering that it is necessary to simultaneously meet the bushing size and performance requirements, but the design of the inner bushing tube 1' cannot guarantee the strength. The anti-crushing ability can be improved by assembling steel gaskets 5' at the upper and lower ends of the inner bushing tube 1', or the friction coefficient can be increased by knurling or adding teeth. To ensure that the gasket 5' does not fall off during transportation and before loading, a suitable test tool is required to verify the interference connection between the gasket 5' and the inner bushing tube 1'.

[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art of this technology to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the following will describe its specific implementation manners in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0018] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the best embodiment of this utility model, a test tool for the pulling-off force of a bushing gasket, which is composed of a bottom tooling and a top tooling. The top tooling and the bottom tooling respectively correspond to the upper gasket 101 and the lower gasket 102 of the inner tube 100 of the bushing.
[0019] The bottom tooling includes a mandrel 6, a spring expansion sleeve 7 and a lower adapter plate 8. The spring expansion sleeve 7 is fixed at the center of the lower adapter plate 8 by a lower cylindrical screw K2; the inner tube 100 of the bushing is sleeved on the spring expansion sleeve 7; the mandrel 6 is inserted into the upper end opening of the inner tube 100 of the bushing, passes through the inner tube 100 of the bushing and is installed in the spring expansion sleeve 7, and the upper end of the spring expansion sleeve 7 is located above the lower gasket 102 of the inner tube 100 of the bushing. The upper end of the spring expansion sleeve 7 abuts against the root of the lower gasket 102 to form an undercut.
[0020] The top tooling includes an upper adapter plate 1, an adapter 2, a support column 3, a special nut 5, an upper cylindrical screw K1 and a clamping head 4; the adapter 2 is fixed in the upper adapter plate 1 by a positioning pin 9; the support column 3 is arranged below the adapter 2; the inside of the support column 3 is hollow, the inside of the clamping head 4 is hollow, and the lower half of the clamping head 4 is arranged in the support column 3; the upper cylindrical screw K1 sequentially passes through the central hole of the adapter 2 and the central hole of the clamping head 4, and the special nut 5 is fastened to the bottom end of the upper cylindrical screw K1; the support column 3 is inserted into the inner tube 100 of the bushing, and the upper gasket 101 of the inner tube 100 of the bushing is located above the lower end of the clamping head 4. The lower end of the clamping head 4 abuts against the root of the upper gasket 101 to form an undercut.
[0021] The adapter 2, the support column 3 and the clamping head 4 are fastened together by the upper cylindrical screw K1 and the special nut 5.

When the tensile testing machine operates, the top plate drives the special nut 5 to move upward, pushing the clamping head 4 upward. The lower end of the clamping head 4 contacts the root of the lower gasket 101 and abuts against the root of the upper gasket 101 to form an inverted buckle. As the force value increases, the upper gasket 101 can be pulled off. At the same time, the upper end of the spring expansion sleeve 7 abuts against the root of the lower gasket 102 to form an inverted buckle, preventing the lower gasket 102 from moving upward with the bushing. When a certain force value is reached, the lower gasket 102 can be pulled off. The upper gasket 101 and the lower gasket 102 may be pulled off simultaneously, or one end may be pulled off first, and then the test stops, so as to obtain the minimum force value required for the gasket to be pulled off, and further check the interference connection between the gasket and the inner tube of the bushing.
[0023] In summary, the bushing gasket pull-off force test tool of the present utility model can quickly complete the bushing gasket pull-off force test, check the interference connection between the gasket and the inner tube of the bushing, and has a simple structure and convenient operation.
