[0006] The utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A torque detection device for a planar thrust bearing, comprising:

[0008] A bearing torsion testing machine body, in which a lifting plate is arranged. The lifting plate is lifted by a hydraulic cylinder fixedly installed at the top of the bearing torsion testing machine body. A rotating seat is rotatably installed at the center of the bottom of the lifting plate. A driving motor for driving the rotating seat to rotate is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting plate.

[0009] An inner wall fixing component, which is arranged on the console and is used for fixing the inner wall of the fixing ring at the bottom of planar thrust bearings of different sizes;

[0010] The outer wall fixing component is arranged on the operation table and is used to fix the outer wall of the bottom fixing ring of the planar thrust bearing with different sizes to further ensure the accuracy of the detection data.

[0011] In a possible design, the inner wall fixing component includes an inner ring fixedly arranged at the center of the operation table. Three sliding rods are slidably connected to the inner ring in an annular array, and a top holding arc plate is fixedly arranged at the outer end of the sliding rod.

[0012] In a possible design, an electric push rod for synchronously driving the three sliding rods to spread is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner ring. An installation groove for embedding the electric push rod is arranged at the top of the operation table.

[0016] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and cannot limit the present utility model.

[0017] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows:

[0018] During use, place the planar thrust bearing to be detected on the operation table, ensure that the center of the bottom fixing ring of the bearing is aligned with the centers of the inner ring and the outer ring, and then start the electric push rod. Push the three sliding rods to slide outwards through the electric push rod, so that the top holding arc plate closely adheres to and fixes the inner wall of the bottom fixing ring of the bearing from the inside. At the same time, start the cylinder to make the corresponding clamping arc plate approach the outer wall of the bottom fixing ring of the bearing from the outside until the clamping arc plate closely adheres to and fixes the outer wall.

[0019] Next, adjust the height of the lifting plate through the hydraulic cylinder to make the pressure plate press the top free ring of the flat thrust bearing. Confirm that the torque sensor is correctly connected and calibrated. After starting the driving motor, drive the torque sensor and the pressure plate to rotate through the rotating seat. The pressure plate contacts the top free ring of the bearing and drives it to rotate. During the rotation process, the torque sensor measures and records the torque value received by the bearing in real time. The torque sensor transmits the detected torque data to the data processing system for further analysis and processing. According to the detection results, evaluate whether the torque performance of the flat thrust bearing meets the design requirements or relevant standards.

[0020] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
