[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below.

[0017] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a simple and rapid bearing life test bench includes a base 1. A motor bracket 2 is connected to one side of the base 1, and multiple motors 3 are installed on the motor bracket 2. A fixed seat 4 is connected to the other side of the base 1. Multiple installation chambers are machined in the fixed seat 4, and a detachable bearing bracket 5 is connected in the installation chambers. A bearing chamber is machined in the bearing bracket 5, and several bearings 6 to be tested are arranged in the bearing chamber. In this embodiment, the installation chamber of the fixed seat 4 is a circular through hole, and the bearing bracket 5 is a cylindrical sleeve, and the bearing chamber inside it is machined according to the outer diameter of different types of bearings, and generally can accommodate 8 to 12 bearings to be tested.

[0018] Release grooves 7 are machined on both sides of the installation chamber. The machining of the release grooves 7 facilitates the installation of the bearing bracket 5. Mounting holes 8 are arranged above the release grooves 7, and threaded holes are machined below the release grooves 7. The mounting holes 8 are connected to the threaded holes below the release grooves through screws to lock the bearing bracket 5.

[0019] A drive shaft 9 passes through the middle of the bearing 6 to be measured. One end of the drive shaft 9 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 3 through a coupling 10. In this embodiment, a diaphragm coupling is adopted for the drive shaft 9. A first retaining ring 11 is arranged on the drive shaft 9 near the motor side, and a second retaining ring 12 is arranged on the drive shaft 9 far from the motor side. The first retaining ring 11 and the second retaining ring 12 clamp the inner ring of the bearing 6 to be measured. Among them, a first lock nut 13 and a gasket 14 are connected to the drive shaft 9 near the motor 3 side. A spring 15 is arranged between the gasket 14 and the first retaining ring 11. The spring 15 is sleeved on the drive shaft 9, and the first retaining ring 11 is clamped by relying on the elastic force of the spring. A second lock nut 16 is connected to the drive shaft 9 far from the motor 3 side, and the second lock nut 16 clamps the second retaining ring 12.

[0020] An outer end cover 17 is arranged on the outer side of the second retaining ring 12. The outer end cover 17 presses the outer ring of the bearing 6 to be measured. Among them, counterbores are machined on the periphery of the outer end cover 17, and the counterbore part is connected to the end face of the bearing bracket 5 through countersunk head screws.

[0021] An outer ring retaining ring 18 and an inner ring retaining ring 19 are arranged between the bearings 6 to be measured. The outer ring retaining ring 18 and the inner ring retaining ring 19 are arranged between the bearings 6 to be measured at intervals in sequence.

[0022] During the test, the motor 3 drives the drive shaft 9 to rotate the bearing for life test. When switching the bearing, only the bearing bracket 5 equipped with different models of bearings needs to be replaced to carry out the test, which shortens the disassembly and assembly time and improves the test efficiency.

[0023] The utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can still make some corrections or changes without departing from the spirit of the utility model, that is, within the public scope. Therefore, the scope of the right protection of the utility model is subject to the scope defined by the claims.
