[0030] The present invention will be further described below through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a spring fatigue testing mechanism includes a loading assembly 1 that can ensure stable operation of the mechanism. A driving assembly 2 is provided in the loading assembly 1 and can apply periodic stress to the spring under test. A testing assembly 3 is provided in front of the driving assembly 2 and can flexibly adjust the degree of expansion and contraction of the spring during testing according to the specifications of the spring under test and test requirements.

[0032] In this embodiment: the loading assembly 1 includes a frame 101, and a cover plate 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 101; the frame 101 provides an installation position for components such as the electric push rod 201, the lifting frame 202, and the fixing seat 308, and the cover plate 102 prevents the lifting frame 202 from rising excessively and falling off the frame 101.

[0033] In this embodiment: the drive assembly 2 includes an electric push rod 201 fixedly installed on both sides of the frame 101, a lifting frame 202 is fixedly connected between the telescopic ends of the electric push rod 201, a shaft seat 203 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 202, a rotating shaft 204 is movably installed between the shaft seats 203, a first pulley 205 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating shaft 204, a motor 206 is fixedly installed below the lifting frame 202, a second pulley 207 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 206, and a belt 208 is provided between the first pulley 205 and the second pulley 207;

[0034] The frame 101 is slidably connected to the lifting frame 202, and the shaft seat 203 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 204;

[0035] The height of the lifting frame 202 in the frame 101 is adjusted by the electric push rod 201, and the rotating shaft 204 is installed above the lifting frame 202 through the shaft seat 203. The rotation of the output end of the motor 206 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 204 through the second pulley 207, the belt 208, and the first pulley 205, so that the rotating shaft 204 can continue to rotate relative to the shaft seat 203 after the motor 206 is working.

[0036] In this embodiment: the test assembly 3 includes a rotating part that can adjust the expansion and contraction degree of the tested spring, a swinging part that can avoid skewing and offsetting during the spring test, and a detection part that can measure the force condition of the tested spring in real time. The rotating part includes a rotating wheel 301 fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 204, a slider 302 is movably connected to the rotating wheel 301, and a transmission rod 303 is fixedly connected to the front of the slider 302. The detection part includes a transmission block 313 movably connected to the outer side of the transmission rod 303. The rotating part also includes an end seat 304 fixedly installed in the rotating wheel 301, and a wire is set between the slider 302 and the two end seats 304. Lever 305, one end of the lead screw 305 is fixedly connected to a knob 306, the front end of the rotating shaft 204 is fixedly connected to an anti-dropping cap 307, the swinging member includes a fixed seat 308 fixedly connected to the loading assembly 1, the fixed seat 308 is movably connected to a support 309, an accommodating cylinder 310 is fixedly connected above the support 309, and a top cover 311 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the accommodating cylinder 310. The detection member also includes a tension and compression sensor 312 fixedly installed in the accommodating cylinder 310, a transmission block 313 is provided below the top cover 311, and a fixed cylinder 314 is fixedly connected above the tension and compression sensor 312 and below the transmission block 313;

[0037] The rotating wheel 301 is slidably connected to the slider 302, the end seat 304 is rotatably connected to the lead screw 305, the transmission rod 303 and the lead screw 305 are both connected to the slider 302 by threads, the fixed seat 308 is rotatably connected to the support 309, the transmission rod 303 and the accommodating cylinder 310 are both slidably connected to the transmission block 313, and a spiral groove is integrally formed in the fixed cylinder 314;

[0038] The screw 305 is installed on the rotating wheel 301 through the end seat 304, and the screw 305 is easily rotated by the knob 306. The rotating wheel 301 and the screw 305 jointly limit the movable range of the slider 302. The rotated screw 305 adjusts the distance between the slider 302 and the rotating shaft 204, thereby changing the distance between the transmission rod 303 connected to the slider 302 and the rotating shaft 204. Synchronously, the height of the transmission block 313 in the accommodating tube 310 will change with the movement of the transmission rod 303. The anti-drop cap 307 prevents the rotating wheel 301 from accidentally falling off the rotating shaft 204. The accommodating tube 310 is installed through the support 309 whose movable range is limited by the fixed seat 308. The tension and compression sensor 312 and the transmission block 313 are installed through the accommodating tube 310. The upper end opening of the accommodating tube 310 is closed by the top cover 311, and the overall strength of the accommodating tube 310 is improved. One end of the tested spring is connected through the fixed tube 314.

[0039] Working Principle: When this mechanism is installed and used for spring fatigue testing, the fixed cylinder 314 that matches the spring under test is selected, and the tension and compression sensor 312 is connected to an external signal processing device. Then, according to the length of the spring under test and the required degree of expansion and contraction, the height of the lifting frame 202 is adjusted by the electric push rod 201, and the distance between the transmission rod 303 and the rotating shaft 204 is adjusted by rotating the screw 305 with the knob 306. This ensures that the distance between the two fixed cylinders 314 meets the required length of the spring, and the rotation radius of the transmission rod 303 meets the required expansion and contraction length of the spring.

[0040] After the adjustment is completed, remove the top cover 311 relative to the accommodating tube 310, remove the transmission rod 303 relative to the slider 302, and then remove the transmission block 313 from the accommodating tube 310. Then, place the spring under test and the accommodating tube 310 into the accommodating tube 310 in sequence. After rotating the two ends of the spring into the two fixing tubes 314 to a certain depth, thus completing the fixing of the spring under test, reinstall the transmission rod 303 and the top cover 311 in sequence.

[0041] After the above work is completed, the motor 206 can be operated to drive the rotating shaft 204 to rotate. When the rotation of the rotating shaft 204 is transmitted to the transmission block 313 through the rotating wheel 301, the slider 302, and the transmission rod 303, the transmission block 313 will drive the accommodating cylinder 310 to swing and apply periodic stress to the spring under test. The force condition of the spring will be transmitted to the external signal processing equipment in real time through the tension and compression sensor 312, so that the force condition of the spring can be observed in real time through the signal processing equipment. When the spring reaches fatigue strength, the measured force condition will change.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
