DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] like Figure 1-3The device for testing the life of a solid self-lubricating bearing shown in the figure comprises: an upper loading mechanism, a lower base 1, an upper flange 2 and a lower flange 3 disposed between the loading mechanism and the base 1, wherein the upper flange 2 is mounted with a test bearing via an intermediate connecting mechanism; a tooth structure is disposed on the inner wall of the intermediate connecting mechanism, and a drive device is disposed at the center of the base 1. The output shaft of the drive device meshes with the intermediate connecting mechanism, so that the drive device provides power to drive the intermediate connecting mechanism to rotate;

[0029] The upper loading mechanism includes: a cylinder 4, a loading seat 5 located below the cylinder 4, and the cylinder 4 is installed and supported by support columns 6 distributed in the front, back, left, and right directions of the base 1 to ensure stability;

[0030] An extension portion 5.1 is provided at the bottom of the loading seat 5 at the lower part of the oil cylinder 4. The outer diameter of the upper flange 2 matches the extension portion 5.1 of the loading seat 5 and the upper flange 2 is transitionally connected to the loading seat 5 by bolts.

[0031] The base 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of bolt holes matching the connection holes of the lower flange 3, and the lower flange 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1 by bolts;

[0032] A test bearing 7 is also provided between the upper end surface of the lower flange 3 and the intermediate connecting mechanism;

[0033] The test bearing 7 adopts a three-row cylindrical roller bearing, the outer ring of the test bearing 7 is fixed to the lower flange 3 by bolts, and the inner ring is fixed to the intermediate connection mechanism by bolts;

[0034] The test bearing includes a radial self-lubricating bearing 8 and an axial self-lubricating bearing 9; the intermediate connection mechanism includes: a connecting plate 10 and a connecting sleeve 11 connected to the upper part of the connecting plate 10, and the connecting sleeve 11 and the connecting plate 10 are fixed together by bolts;

[0035] The mounting portion of the radial self-lubricating bearing 8 is formed between the inner diameter of the upper flange 2 and the connecting sleeve 11, and the mounting portion of the axial self-lubricating bearing 9 is formed between the lower end surface of the upper flange 2 and the upper end surface of the connecting plate 10;

[0036] The radial self-lubricating bearing 8 is fixed to the upper flange 2 by means of a hexagon socket cylindrical head screw 15. During operation, the radial self-lubricating bearing 8 is fixed to the upper flange 2, and the connecting sleeve 11 and the connecting disc 10 in the intermediate connecting mechanism rotate simultaneously. It is explained here that the inner circumference of the radial self-lubricating bearing 8 contacts the outer circumference of the connecting sleeve 11 without being fixed, forming a sliding contact surface. Similarly, the axial self-lubricating bearing 9 is fixed to the connecting disc 10 by means of a hexagon socket cylindrical head screw 15, and the upper surface of the axial self-lubricating bearing 9 contacts the upper flange 2, forming a sliding contact surface.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cross section of the radial self-lubricating bearing 8 is fixed to the upper flange 2 by two upper and lower hexagon socket head screws 15. The number of hexagon socket head screws 15 is adjusted according to the bearing specifications to ensure the stability of the bearing fixation. A hexagon socket head screw 15 is set in the center of the cross section of the axial self-lubricating bearing 9.

[0038] The radial self-lubricating bearing 8 and the axial self-lubricating bearing 9 are both segmented disc structures, each of which is composed of 12 circular arc bearing blocks 12;

[0039] In this solution, when testing the life of the solid self-lubricating bearing assembly, taking into account cost issues, the size of the axial loading cylinder is reduced, and the power of the driving device is reduced. The technical means adopted are: the radial self-lubricating bearing 8 is fully loaded in the device, and the axial self-lubricating bearing 9 is installed in a quarter area of ​​the device;

[0040] The quarter area installation is to set three circumferentially dispersed arc bearing blocks 12 and set each two adjacent arc bearing blocks 12 at an angle of 120 degrees.

[0041] The driving device can be a driving reducer 13 in the prior art;

[0042] The output end of the output shaft of the driving reducer 13 is sleeved with a gear sleeve 14 , and a gear is provided on the outer periphery of the gear sleeve 14 and cooperates with the teeth of the connecting disk 10 of the intermediate connecting mechanism.

[0043] The operating principle of the device for detecting life using the above scheme is as follows:

[0044] During the test, it is necessary to apply a load to the bearing. The bearing load is applied to the loading seat 5 through the oil cylinder 4 and transmitted to the radial self-lubricating bearing 8 and the axial self-lubricating bearing 9 through the upper flange 2. By starting the driving reducer 13 at the bottom, the output shaft of the reducer 13 is gear-matched with the intermediate connecting mechanism to drive the connecting sleeve 11 to rotate; and then the axial self-lubricating bearing 9 is driven to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of measuring the life of the solid self-lubricating bearing.

[0045] In the principle process described above, since this solution is used to detect solid self-lubricating bearings (the difference from traditional rolling bearings is that there are no rolling elements inside, and they work through friction between the outer surface of the bearing and the contact surface of the equipment), the radial self-lubricating bearings are fixed to the upper flange during operation and do not rotate.

[0046] It should be noted that the upper flange 2 and lower flange 3 of the device are both transition pieces, connected to the loading part of the device. Since the bearing life test requires load application, they are connected to the loading seat 5 through this transition piece. The upper flange 2 is connected to the loading seat 5 at the top of the device, and the lower flange 3 is connected to the base 1 at the bottom of the device.

[0047] The arrangement of the test bearing 7 mentioned above, since the device is driven by an intermediate drive, the upper and lower flanges are fixed, because there is a bearing to be tested on the upper part of the device, and the lower part of the device needs to be provided with a test bearing 7 to adjust the device load;

[0048] The test bearing 7 is a waste bearing that has been tested.

[0049] The above-mentioned axial test bearing 9 is installed in an area one-quarter of the entire bearing. If it is fully filled, the loading capacity of the device will be particularly large, which will increase the cost. Therefore, from the perspective of cost saving, it is possible to consider partially installing the axial test bearing, thereby achieving the purpose of saving corporate costs.

[0050] The radial and axial self-lubricating bearings in the utility model are rotated by the device of the scheme. When the axial and radial self-lubricating bearings pass the rotation process without abnormal noise and the wear amount detected after being taken off the machine reaches a certain standard, it is determined that the life test is qualified; wherein, the wear amount can adopt the prescribed national standard.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like to indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation to the present invention.

[0052] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0053] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0054] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediary. Furthermore, when a first feature is "above," "above," or "above" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. When a first feature is "below," "below," or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.
