Example
[0035] See also Figures 1-8 A bicycle power-assisted middle shaft torque sensor weight overload machine includes a machine platform 1, a support platform 2 and a main shaft rotating part 7. The support platform 2 is arranged on the machine platform 1, and a telescopic device 3 is provided on the support platform 2.

The main shaft rotating part 7 is arranged on the machine platform 1, and the main shaft rotating part 7 is provided with a lower clamp 74 for clamping the product. The support platform 2 is also provided with a steering part 9 and a counterweight part 10. The counterweight part 10 is provided with a pull rope 12. The counterweight part 10 is connected to the main shaft rotating part 7 through the pull rope 12. The pull rope 12 passes through the steering part 9 to realize the change of the direction of the pull rope 12. In actual use, the telescopic device 3 can be a cylinder or other equipment.
[0036] The output shaft of the telescopic device 3 is connected to a connecting block 31, and the connecting block 31 is further connected to a movable plate 4, which is connected to a sensor 5. A slide rail assembly is provided on the support platform 2, and the support platform 2 is connected to the movable plate 4 through the slide rail assembly. The movable plate 4 can move up and down stably through the slide rail assembly, and the upper clamp 6 is more stable when clamping and fixing the product.
[0037] The main shaft rotating part 7 includes a shaft seat 71, which is installed on the machine table 1. A rotating block 72 is provided on the shaft seat 71, and a connecting block 2 73 is provided on the rotating block 72. The lower clamp 74 is provided on the connecting block 2 73. The pull rope 12 is connected to the rotating block 72. The lower clamp 74 is a spline sleeve when in use.
[0038] The machine 1 is also provided with a driving part 8, which includes a motor 82 and a gear assembly 81. The motor 82 is provided with a fixed plate, which is connected to the shaft seat 71. The gear assembly 81 is provided on the output shaft of the motor 82 and the rotating block 72. The output shaft of the motor 82 is connected to the rotating block 72 through the gear assembly 81. The gear assembly 81 is composed of a ring gear and a gear when in use. The ring gear is provided on the rotating block 72, and the gear is provided on the output shaft of the motor 82. The ring gear and the gear are engaged. After each product test, the motor 82 can drive the upper fixture 6 to reset and find the zero point, ensuring that the next product can be better placed when placed on the lower fixture 74, and ensuring that the upper fixture 6 can better dock with the upper end of the product when docking with the product.
[0039] The rotating block 72 is provided with a winding groove 721 for winding the pull rope 12. The winding groove 721 is annularly arranged on the outer surface of the rotating block 72. The rotating block 72 can better wind the pull rope 12 through the winding groove 721.
[0040] The counterweight 10 includes a rod body 101, on which a weight 102 is installed. An auxiliary hole is opened on the weight 102, and an auxiliary rod 103 is provided in the guide hole. The auxiliary rod 103 is arranged on the machine 1. The upper end of the rod body 101 is connected to the end of the pull rope 12 away from the main shaft rotating part 7. The counterweight 10 simulates and applies a specific torque. By installing weights 102 of different weights on the rod body 101, different torque or load conditions can be simulated.
[0041] The machine body is also provided with a lifting device 11, which is arranged below the counterweight 10. The output shaft of the lifting device 11 corresponds to the lower end of the rod body 101. The counterweight 10 can be supported by the lifting device 11, and the counterweight 10 can be lifted to different heights for overload detection. The lifting device 11 can be a cylinder or other equipment when in use. After the motor 82 drives the lower clamp 75 to rotate to find the zero point, if the pull rope 12 is relatively loose at this time, the output shaft of the lifting device 11 can be moved downward, so that the counterweight 10 moves downward as a whole, thereby ensuring that the pull rope 12 can be in a taut state after the lower clamp 75 finds the zero point.
[0042] The steering member 9 includes a mounting seat 91, a pulley 93 is provided on the mounting seat 91, and a rotating sleeve 92 is provided on the mounting seat 91. The rotating sleeve 92 is installed on the machine 1. The mounting seat 91 can be rotated by rotating the sleeve 92. When the main shaft rotating member 7 performs overload detection on the product in different directions, the pull rope 12 can drive the mounting seat 91 to rotate, thereby ensuring the consistency of the torque arm.
[0043] The mounting seat 91 is provided with a through hole, and the pull rope 12 passes through the through hole and then passes through the pulley 93. The pulley 93 is used to change the direction of the pull rope 12. The pulley 93 can more easily change the direction of the pull rope 12.
[0044] A protective cover 13 is provided on the machine 1, which covers the rotating block 72 and the steering member 9. The protective cover 13 can prevent the operator from contacting the rotating parts when the machine is running, thereby providing safety protection for the operator.
[0045] When the present invention is in use, the product to be tested is placed on the lower clamp 74, the telescopic device 3 is started, and the output of the telescopic device 3 pushes the movable plate 4 downward, and then pushes the upper clamp 6 downward so that the upper end of the product is in the upper clamp 6, and the product is clamped and placed between the upper clamp 6 and the lower clamp 74. Then the lifting device 11 is started, and the output shaft of the lifting device 11 moves downward, and its output shaft is away from the rod body 101. After the support of the lifting device 11 is lost below the rod body 101, the rod body 101 is suspended and the rotating block 72 is pulled by the pull rope 12 to rotate. The rotating rotating block 72 drives the lower clamp 74 to rotate, and then the torque test is performed on the product on the lower clamp 74. The weight 102 on the rod body 101 simulates and applies a specific torque. By hanging weights 102 of different weights on the rod body 101, different torque or load conditions can be simulated. When the product is undergoing torque testing, the sensor 5 is used to detect the current torque value, thereby performing torque testing on the product.
[0046] When the product is loaded forward and backward, the output shaft on the lifting device 11 contacts the lower end of the rod body 101, thereby supporting the weight 102 as a whole, and the motor 82 is started. The output shaft of the motor 82 drives the gear assembly 81 to run, and then drives the rotating block 72 to rotate. When the rotating block 72 rotates in different directions, it rotates to a state where the pull rope 12 is wound and tightened. When the rotating block 72 winds the pull rope 12 in different directions, the pull rope 12 will drive the pulley 93 to rotate in different directions, so that the pulley 93 and the pull rope 12 maintain the same direction. When realizing forward and reverse loading, the torque arm will not change due to different directions, ensuring the consistency of the torque arm, so that the bicycle power-assisted center axis can be tested for overload in forward and reverse directions.
