Specific implementation manners
[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3, an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a fixture for fatigue test of step pedals, including a torsion bracket 1. The torsion bracket 1 is the basic support part of the entire test device, used to support and fix other components. By being fixed to the workbench, it provides a stable foundation. Its inclined design can better simulate the stress state of the steps during actual operation. At the top of the torsion bracket 1, there is a steel substitute wheel 14. At the top of the torsion bracket 1, there is a first rotating shaft 2. The first rotating shaft 2 is used to connect the roller and the positioning block 4 and allows the roller to rotate freely when a load is applied. It is a key component for realizing rotational motion in the test device, ensuring that the torsional force is correctly applied and transmitted on the roller. Inside the first rotating shaft 2, there is a hexagon socket head screw 3 slidingly connected. The hexagon socket head screw 3 is used to fix the first rotating shaft 2 and the positioning block 4 to ensure that the first rotating shaft 2 will not loosen or displace during the test. This screw can provide reliable fastening and ensure the stability of the entire structure. Threaded on the outer periphery of the hexagon socket head screw 3 is a hexagon socket head cap screw 6. The hexagon socket head cap screw 6 can fix the positioning block 4 and other components to ensure the fastening and stability of each component in the device. Its cylindrical head design provides a larger contact surface to ensure the firmness of the connection. At the bottom of the first rotating shaft 2, there is a positioning block 4 slidingly connected. The positioning block 4 is internally threaded on the outer periphery of the hexagon socket head cap screw 6.
[0034] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , at the top of the torsion bracket 1, there is a clamping component. The clamping component is used to ensure the stability of the step during the test, ensure the accurate application of the torsional force, and thus improve the reliability and consistency of the test. The clamping component includes a locking clamp 9. The locking clamp 9 is used to fix the step roller to prevent the step from being lifted or accidentally moving during the test. It is adjusted by a compression screw 8 to ensure the accuracy and reliability of clamping. It is an important component for maintaining the stability of the step. Threaded inside the locking clamp 9 is a compression screw 8. The compression screw 8 is used to adjust the clamping force of the clamp. By adjusting the compression degree of the screw, the gap between the pressing block 11 and the roller is controlled to ensure that the clamping force is appropriate and prevent the step from being accidentally lifted or displaced during the test. Threaded at the bottom of the compression screw 8 is a pressing block 11. The pressing block 11 contacts the step through the clamp system to ensure that the step is not lifted or moved during the test. The gap between it and the roller is less than 0.2 mm, which can apply an appropriate pressure to the step to ensure that the force applied during the test meets the preset standard. Fixedly connected to the top of the pressing block 11 is a second retaining ring 10. The second retaining ring 10 is used to limit the axial movement of the pressing block 11 to ensure that the components of the clamping system will not have axial displacement. It ensures that the pressing block 11 can move within an appropriate range and provides additional structural stability.
[0035] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5, on one side of the first rotating shaft 2, there is a sliding connection with an internal hexagon socket head cap screw 6. On one side of the internal hexagon socket head cap screw 6, there is a fixed connection with a washer 5. The outer circumference of the washer 5 is slidably connected inside the first rotating shaft 2. On both the left and right sides inside the torsion bracket 1, there are threaded connections with bolts for T-slots 15. The bolts for T-slots 15 are used to fix the torsion bracket 1 to the workbench. The T-slot design enables this bolt to move and be fixed conveniently in the T-slot of the workbench, facilitating the adjustment and positioning of the device. At the top of the torsion bracket 1, there is a rotational connection with a second rotating shaft 13. At the top of the torsion bracket 1, there is an internal hexagon screw 12. The internal hexagon screw 12 is used to fix the second rotating shaft 13 and related support components. This screw provides a greater torque transmission capacity through its internal hexagon design, ensuring that the components remain fastened under high loads. At the bottom of one side of the first rotating shaft 2, there is a fixed connection with a first retaining ring 7. The first retaining ring 7 is used to limit the axial movement of the first rotating shaft 2, ensuring that the rotating shaft does not undergo axial displacement during rotation. It plays a role in stabilizing the movement of the rotating shaft, guaranteeing the stability of the force transmission direction during the test. The first retaining ring 7 is arranged at the bottom of the internal hexagon socket head cap screw 6. The second retaining ring 10 is arranged at the bottom of the locking clamp 9. The pressing block 11 is arranged at the bottom of the locking clamp 9.
[0036] Working principle: Before the test, first fix the torsion bracket 1 on the workbench, and then place the step on the test fixture. The step, the roller, and the through shaft are tested together. In order to reduce the influence of roller deformation, all the rollers supporting the step are replaced with steel rollers of the same size. In addition, the supporting follower rollers should be able to move with low friction along the supporting surface. Additionally, by adjusting the lateral position of the positioning block 4, lateral movement can be achieved. To prevent the step chain roller from being lifted upwards, there is a locking clamp 9 parallel to the supporting surface. By adjusting the compression screw 8, the gap between the pressing block 11 and the roller is made less than 0.2 mm. In order to twist the step or the tread, one of the follower rollers should not be supported or removed. In addition, the center of this follower roller should be able to displace along an arc of ±2 mm centered on the center of the step chain roller. This ±2 mm displacement is based on a center distance of 400 mm between the follower roller and the step chain roller. The dynamic load is vertically applied to the tread surface through a steel backing plate. The steel backing plate should be placed in the center of the tread according to the regulations.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
