Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spring processing and detection, in particular to a force measuring and protecting device for a cylindrical spring with a large height-to-diameter ratio. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the spring processing and testing industry is plagued by a large number of cylindrical springs with identical structures but varying lengths, inner and outer diameters, and high aspect ratios. These high-aspect-ratio springs require spring pressure testing equipment to verify their functional performance. Traditionally, the spring under test is placed directly on the testing platform of the spring pressure testing equipment. The platform is then moved downward to press against the spring under test. Under external force, the spring is compressed to a specified length. The pressure displayed by the testing equipment indicates whether the spring meets its functional requirements. This traditional method works well for springs with small aspect ratios, but is inadequate for springs with large aspect ratios. This is primarily because the slender springs cannot be kept stable on the working platform. Furthermore, manually holding the spring while the platform is moved downward can easily injure the hand holding the spring during compression. This can also result in the spring bending in the middle, and improper operation can cause the spring to fly off the working platform, injuring the operator or those nearby. This fails to guarantee personal safety and ensures that the spring meets its functional requirements. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present utility model aims to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a force measuring and protecting device for cylindrical springs with a large aspect ratio. This device prevents spring bending during compression and prevents the tested spring from flying off the work platform during improper operation, potentially injuring the operator or personnel nearby. Furthermore, by simply replacing the base, guide pins, and stoppers of different sizes, cylindrical springs with varying lengths and diameters can be detected, thereby completing a new force measuring and protecting device for cylindrical springs with a large aspect ratio. The device features a simple structure, easy manufacture, convenient operation, high versatility, and low cost. Furthermore, during testing, the spring always moves within the guide pins and stoppers, preventing spring bending during compression and the tested spring from flying off the work platform during improper operation, potentially injuring the operator or personnel nearby. This device significantly improves the force measuring capability of cylindrical springs, shortens the spring testing cycle, and significantly increases the detection rate, thereby protecting the safety of operators and those around the work area.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is a cylindrical spring force measuring and protection device with a large height-to-diameter ratio. The cylindrical spring force measuring and protection device with a large height-to-diameter ratio includes a base mounted on a workbench of a spring testing device, a sliding direction guide pin, and a limit device. The base is a cylindrical boss structure, with a through hole formed on its axis to slide with the sliding direction guide pin and a stepped hole connected to the lower workbench of the spring pressure testing device; the sliding direction guide pin is a cylindrical rotating body structure with a through hole formed on its axis to reduce the pressure. The outer edge of the upper boss is pressed into the hole of the upper platform of the spring pressure testing device, and is fixed by a set screw on the surface of the movable platform, so that it can move up and down with the platform. The outer diameter of the lower boss passes through the inner diameter of the cylindrical spring to be tested and moves downward with the mobile platform into the through hole on the axis of the base that slides with the sliding direction guide pin; the limiting device has the appearance of a boss cylindrical structure, and its axis is provided with a step hole that cooperates with the upper outer edge of the base and a through hole that slides with the sliding direction guide pin. A step hole slightly larger than the outer edge of the cylindrical spring to be tested is provided on the upper end of the through hole, and the depth of the step hole is the length of the cylindrical spring to be tested after compression.
[0005] Furthermore, the sliding direction guide pin is machined and formed, and a through hole for lightening is formed on the axis of the direction guide pin, a cylinder connected to the spring pressure detection equipment is formed on the upper end, and a cylinder with an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical spring to be detected is formed on the lower end, and its length is greater than the length of the cylindrical spring to be detected.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer side of the lower end of the sliding direction guide pin is chamfered to facilitate passing through the cylindrical spring.
[0007] The device can determine the inner and outer diameters of cylindrical springs of different lengths and different inner and outer diameters by simply replacing bases, sliding direction guide pins, and limit devices of different sizes, thereby completing a new set of cylindrical spring force measurement and protection devices with a large aspect ratio.
[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the device has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, is convenient to assemble, has strong applicability, is low in cost, is easy to adjust and replace, and can be used for force measurement of cylindrical springs with different specifications and large aspect ratios.

The lower boss 23 cooperates with the through hole 111 to move up and down, and the length of the lower boss 23 is greater than that of the cylindrical spring 4. The length of the upper boss 21 is fixedly screwed into a vertically movable platform hole on the upper portion of the spring pressure testing device 5. The outer diameter of the middle boss 22 is larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical spring 4. The cylindrical boss structure of the stopper device 3 includes an upper boss 31 and a lower boss 32. The lower boss 32 is provided with a stopper hole 321 that matches the outer diameter of the upper boss 11. Above the stopper hole 321 is a through hole 22 that matches the outer diameter of the lower boss 23. The boss 31 is provided with a detection hole 311. The inner diameter of the detection hole 311 is slightly larger than that of the cylindrical spring 4 and its depth is the length of the compressed cylindrical spring 4. The detection hole 311 is connected to the stopper hole 321 and the through hole 22. The sliding direction guide pin 2 is provided with a through hole 324 along the central axis for relief. The lower end of the lower boss 23 is chamfered to facilitate the passage of the cylindrical spring 4.
[0024] Install the mounting hole 121 on the bottom surface of the base 1 into a coaxial pin on the hole in the lower workbench and upper movable platform of the spring pressure testing device 5.
