Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a driving device for measuring the dynamic stiffness of a bearing, belonging to the field of bearing dynamic stiffness measurement. Background Art

[0002] Bearing dynamic stiffness refers to the stiffness exhibited by a bearing under load, i.e., its ability to support the object being loaded. It reflects the relationship between the bearing's deformation and the amount of load applied, and is the ratio of the bearing's deformation to the amount of load applied.

[0003] The characteristics of bearing dynamic stiffness are as follows:

[0004] 1. High rigidity: The higher the dynamic rigidity of the bearing, the smaller the deformation of the bearing when carrying load, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the equipment.

[0005] 2. Impact on equipment precision: Bearing dynamic stiffness is one of the important factors affecting equipment processing accuracy. When equipment requires high precision, it is necessary to select bearings with high dynamic stiffness to ensure equipment stability and accuracy.

[0006] 3. Affected by working state and working conditions: The dynamic stiffness of the bearing is affected by working state and working conditions, including temperature, lubrication state, speed, load size, load direction, etc. These factors will affect the dynamic stiffness of the bearing.

[0007] Bearing dynamic stiffness measurement evaluates the bearing's dynamic stiffness by measuring its ability to deform under dynamic loads. Dynamic stiffness refers to the bearing's ability to resist deformation when subjected to dynamic forces and is typically determined by measuring the displacement of the bearing during deformation.

[0008] The measurement method of bearing dynamic stiffness is as follows:

[0009] 1. Use a bearing dynamic stiffness tester: This instrument uses a precision axial loading device that allows for stable and continuous loading, with the applied load adjustable between 50 and 500 N. Equipped with a high-precision force sensor and an inductive displacement sensor, the instrument calculates stiffness based on sampling results and automatically plots a stiffness curve. It is suitable for stiffness assessment of precision angular contact ball bearings.

[0010] 2. Use a rolling bearing dynamic and static stiffness test device: This device, which includes a rotating motor, displacement sensor, and pressure sensor, measures the bearing's dynamic and static stiffness by applying a load with a vibration frequency. This method considers the effects of both load frequency and bearing rotation frequency, ensuring more accurate dynamic stiffness measurements.

[0011] The dynamic stiffness of the bearing is one of the most critical performance parameters in the spindle system and directly affects the accuracy of the spindle system. Different from the measurement of static stiffness, dynamic stiffness refers to the ability to resist dynamic displacement changes when subjected to alternating loads. Dynamic stiffness is the main indicator for measuring the vibration resistance of the structure. Therefore, the study of bearing dynamic stiffness testing is more important for accurately obtaining the dynamic characteristics of the spindle bearing system. For the spindle-bearing joint, the dynamic stiffness is affected by many factors, such as: the vibration of the drive mechanism, the bearing preload, the bearing pairing method, the matching method between the bearing and the spindle, the spindle rotation speed, the bearing temperature rise, etc. Therefore, the research and development of the drive form is of great significance to the study of the dynamic stiffness of the bearing. Utility Model Content

[0013] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0016] The driving device for measuring the dynamic stiffness of the bearing has two ends of the transmission air duct riveted to the fan and the impeller housing respectively.

This can drive the bearing to rotate at high speed without generating heat, and the drive speed is higher than that of conventional drive types. In addition, this drive type can leak the tail end of the rotating shaft, facilitating the dynamic balance adjustment of the equipment and improving the test accuracy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the utility model proposes a driving device for measuring the dynamic stiffness of a bearing, which mainly includes a fan 1, a transmission air duct 2, an impeller housing 3, a bearing housing 4, a fixing frame 5, an impeller 8, a rotating shaft 9, etc. The specific structure is as follows:

[0029] The fan 1 is fixed to the mounting frame 7 by screws, and the output end of the fan 1 is connected to the inner cavity of the impeller housing 3 through the transmission air duct 2. The two ends of the transmission air duct 2 are riveted to the fan 1 and the impeller housing 3 respectively. The impeller housing 3 is connected to one end of the bearing housing 4 by screws. The bearing housing 4 is mounted on the fixing frame 5, and the fixing frame 5 is fixed to the mounting frame 7 by screws. The inner wall of the bearing housing 4 and the impeller housing 3 jointly form the inner cavity of the driving device, and a horizontal rotating shaft 9 is provided in the inner cavity. The rotating shaft 9 is located on the side of the inner cavity of the impeller housing 3 and an impeller 8 is installed. The impeller 8 and the rotating shaft 9 are fixed by key cooperation. The rotating shaft 9 is located on the side of the inner cavity of the bearing housing 4 and a test bearing 12 is installed. The fan 1 drives the impeller 8 to rotate at high speed, and the impeller 8 drives the rotating shaft 9 and the test bearing 12 thereon to rotate at high speed.

[0030] The stiffness measuring device 6 is connected to the other end of the bearing housing 4 through the mounting plate 10. One end of the stiffness measuring device 6 extends into the inner cavity of the bearing housing 4 and corresponds to the test bearing 12 through the bearing push plate 11.
