Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gear testing devices, in particular to a gear bending fatigue testing tool. Background Art

[0002] Gear bending fatigue failure is a common form of gear failure. During operation, a gear tooth acts like a cantilever beam. Under the action of normal forces acting on the tooth surface, bending stresses are generated at the tooth root. Under the influence of cyclically varying bending stresses, cracks often first appear at the tooth root, where stress concentration is greatest. Cracks continue to propagate, and when the effective load-bearing cross-section is insufficient to support the normal load, the entire tooth, or part of it, can suddenly fracture. Gear bending fatigue is often difficult to detect during quantitative changes, but once a qualitative change occurs, it can lead to failure of the entire transmission equipment or even a serious accident. Therefore, conducting gear bending fatigue testing is an important means of studying the bending fatigue strength of gears. By conducting bending fatigue testing, a large amount of basic bending fatigue strength data can be rapidly accumulated, providing crucial data support for gear transmission system design. However, existing gear bending fatigue strength testing tooling is cumbersome and difficult to clamp the gear. Furthermore, the position of the gear teeth cannot be quickly adjusted, which increases the test cycle and reduces test efficiency. Furthermore, during the loading process, accurate loading cannot be achieved, resulting in uneven stress on the tooth tips and often inaccurate test results.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a gear bending fatigue test fixture to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content
