Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of rail transportation testing equipment, and in particular relates to a railway turnout machine friction torque limiter test bench. Background Art
[0002] Electric switches are used to switch and lock switches. To ensure transportation safety and protect equipment, their maximum output force needs to be limited, typically by limiting the maximum torque during power transmission. A torque limiter is installed at the motor shaft extension and is used in applications where the motor's maximum output torque is limited. The torque limiter in electric switches is used to limit maximum output force. Currently, the ZD6 series electric switches incorporate a torque limiter integrated into the reducer. A clamp secures the internal gear. When the load exceeds a set value, the internal gear rotates, the output shaft stops, and the output torque balances with the load, eliminating power output from the output shaft. This effectively limits maximum output force. ZD9 / ZDJ9 switches incorporate a friction connector at the reducer output as a torque limiter. The input end of the friction connector meshes with the reducer gear, while the output end is connected to the ball screw. When the load exceeds a set value, the output end stops rotating, eliminating power output and limiting maximum output force.
[0003] The switch mechanism operates by decelerating the motor, which then drives the friction torque limiter on the lead screw, which in turn rotates the lead screw. The nut and push-pull rods on the lead screw then drive the switch to the switch. If the switch is obstructed during the switch, causing the torque limiter to slip, the switch will time out and trigger an alarm. Therefore, the long-term stability of the torque limiter's set torque directly impacts the switch mechanism's reliability and, consequently, driving safety. Utility Model Content

[0023] In some embodiments, a stopper 19 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the direct-coupled servo motor assembly 8. A mounting bracket 22 is fixedly connected to the housing of the direct-coupled servo motor assembly 8. Springs 20 are installed between the stopper 19 and the mounting bracket 22 to limit the swing of the stopper 19. Two limit switches 21 are installed on the mounting bracket 22 to limit the maximum swing displacement of the stopper 19. The direct-coupled servo motor assembly 8 is mounted on a tailstock 7 supported by a linear guide. Driven by a motor reducer 15 and a lead screw 16, the tailstock 7 can move left and right along the main axis, facilitating the installation and removal of the test piece 6. The dial 17 at the left end and the direct-coupled servo motor assembly 8 on the shaft of the tailstock 7 drive the rotation of the test piece 6. The direct-coupled servo motor assembly 8 is supported by rolling bearings 18 and is supported by the bearing cap formed at the right end of the tailstock 7, allowing it to rotate about the main axis. The direct-coupled servo motor assembly 8 is mounted on the stopper 19, and springs 20 on either side of the stopper limit the left and right swing of the stopper. The limit switches 21 limit the maximum swing displacement of the stopper. When the output torque of the direct-drive servo motor group 8 exceeds the torque set by the spring 20 and the limit switch 21, the limit switch 21 will be activated to stop the motor from rotating, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting overload and alarming.
[0024] In some embodiments, the direct-drive servo motor group 8 is fixedly connected to the tailstock 7 , and the tailstock 7 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 16 . The lead screw 16 is parallel to the main shaft and is driven to move by the motor reducer 15 .
[0025] In some embodiments, the torque loader 5 is a magnetic powder brake or an electromagnetic clutch, and the output torque can be controlled by changing its supply voltage or current.
[0026] In some embodiments, the main shaft is mounted on a main bearing seat 3 , and the main bearing seat 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 .
[0027] In some embodiments, a cover is installed on the frame 1.
[0028] In some embodiments, the test bench further includes an ambient temperature and humidity control unit, a cryogenic nitrogen system, and a computer measurement and control system. The ambient temperature and humidity control unit is used to control the ambient temperature and humidity inside the hood; the computer measurement and control system is used to control the original drive motor unit 2, cylinder 14, torque loader 5, torque sensor 4, direct-drive servo motor unit 8, limit switch 21, and reducer.
[0029] The present utility model switch machine friction torque limiter test bench mainly consists of a frame 1, an original drive motor unit 2, a main bearing seat 3, a torque sensor 4, a torque loader 5, a test piece 6, a tailstock 7, and a direct-drive servo motor unit 8.

Observe the torque value on the computer, adjust the torque limiter clamping force to make the torque value about 80% of the rated torque, adjust the torque limiter to rotate about 10 turns for running-in, until the torque value fluctuation does not exceed 5% after three starts, then adjust the clamping force to make the torque reach the rated value. Start three times to check that the slip torque and the rated torque do not exceed 2% to pass the test, and the test is completed;
[0031] The purpose of factory commissioning and torque testing of a friction torque limiter is to adjust the torque limiter to stable and acceptable parameters to meet factory requirements. The procedure involves experimental research on the friction and wear stability of the torque limiter's friction pair, including friction plate material selection and structural optimization. This process is conducted on a test bench that offers both manual and programmed test modes. Environmental simulations can be used to verify the torque limiter's operational stability in various climates. Service life testing is also included in the test bench's basic functions.
