Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: a swing durability tool for testing automobile bushings, comprising a connecting base 2 for supporting the entire device, a swing loading assembly 1 and a bushing clamping assembly 3 provided on the top of the connecting base 2; the swing loading assembly 1 and the bushing clamping assembly 3 are fixed to the connecting base 2 by bolts and T-nuts, and the positions of the swing loading assembly 1 and the bushing clamping assembly 3 on the upper surface of the connecting base 2 can be adjusted to adapt to different test conditions, and a guide groove for guiding the installation is provided on the upper surface of the connecting base 2, and the connecting base 2 can provide guidance and positioning for the swing loading assembly 1 through the guide groove, and the swing loading assembly 1 and the bushing clamping assembly 3 are locked and connected by bolts;
[0031] The swing loading assembly 1 includes a swing actuator 11, a loading frame 12, a positioning block 13, a guide key 14, a torsion shaft 15, a torque sensor 16, a flange 17, a swing shaft 18, an inner sleeve 19, a tapered roller bearing 110, a clamping shaft 111, a bellows coupling 112, a Z2 expansion sleeve 113, a radial locking nut 114, an outer sleeve 115, and an end cover 116; the swing actuator 11 and the guide key 14 are fixed to the loading frame 12 by bolts, and the positioning block 13 is fixed to the swing actuator 11 by bolts; the bellows coupling 112 is fixed to the swing actuator 11 by bolts, and the connection between the various components is achieved by using bolts, which can facilitate subsequent disassembly. The other end of the bellows coupling 112 is connected to the torsion shaft 15 by the expansion effect of the Z2 expansion sleeve 113; the left and right ends of the torque sensor 16 are respectively fixed to the torsion shaft 15 and the flange 17 by bolts. When the torque at the left and right ends of the torque sensor 16 changes, the torque sensor 16 can record the difference in torque between the left and right ends. The flange 17 is fixed to the swing shaft 18 by an expansion sleeve, and the swing shaft 18 is bolted to the clamping shaft 111. The inner rings of the two sets of tapered roller bearings 110 are axially positioned by the inner sleeve 19, the radial locking nut 114, and the shoulder on the swing shaft 18. The outer rings of the two sets of tapered roller bearings 110 are axially positioned by the outer sleeve 115, the end cover 116, and the loading frame 12. Through multiple positioning, the concentricity of the transmission of the entire device can be guaranteed.
[0032] The connecting base 2 is connected and fixed to the swing loading assembly 1 by bolts and T-nuts. The position of the connecting base 2 can be controlled by adjusting the position of the T-nuts and bolts.
[0033] The bushing clamping assembly 3 includes a fixed shaft 31, a washer 32, a hexagonal fixing block 33, an automobile bushing 34, a steel sleeve 35, a support block 36, a hexagonal tightening block 37, and a locking nut 38. The fixed shaft 31 passes through the washer 32, and the hexagonal fixing block 33 and the automobile bushing 34 are fixed to the hexagonal tightening block 37 by threaded connection. The locking nut 38 is fixed to the fixed shaft 31 by threaded connection. The automobile bushing 34 is interference pressed into the test piece steel sleeve 35. Since the automobile bushing 34 and the test piece steel sleeve 35 are interference fit, the two will not move relative to each other at will. The steel sleeve 35 is fixed to the support block 36 by bolts, and the support block 36 is fixed to the connecting base 2 by bolts and T-nuts. By tightening the bolts, the clamping shaft 111 can clamp the hexagonal fixing block 33.
[0034] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 6 The torsion shaft 15, torque sensor 16, flange 17, swing shaft 18, and clamping shaft 111 are all processed with stopper positioning. By processing the stopper positioning, the coaxiality of the swing shaft 18 can be effectively guaranteed. The interior of the clamping shaft 111 is hexahedral. When processing the clamping shaft 111, it is necessary to complete its outer shape first, and then cut it into two parts. The guide groove at the top of the connecting base 2 includes two transverse T-slots for guiding the movement of the swing loading assembly 1, a longitudinal T-slot for guiding the movement of the bushing clamping assembly 3, and a guide keyway.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The hexagonal fixing block 33 and the hexagonal tightening block 37 are made of 20CrMnTi with higher hardness. The parts of the hexagonal fixing block 33 and the hexagonal tightening block 37 that contact the automobile bushing 34 are provided with point-shaped flat teeth to increase friction. The point-shaped flat teeth of the hexagonal fixing block 33 and the hexagonal tightening block 37 help to clamp the automobile bushing 34. The clamping shaft 111 cooperates with the hexahedron of the hexagonal fixing block 33 to clamp, which can accurately transmit the swing to the automobile bushing 34. The hexagonal fixing block 33 and the hexagonal tightening block 37 are hexahedral in shape.
[0036] Working principle: When measuring, it is necessary to first press the automobile bushing 34 into the interior of the steel sleeve 35, and then use the fixed shaft 31 to pass through the washer 32, the hexagonal fixing block 33, the automobile bushing 34, and the hexagonal tightening block 37. Then, the locking nut 38 can be screwed to drive the hexagonal fixing block 33, the automobile bushing 34, and the hexagonal tightening block 37 to fit tightly, and then the steel sleeve 35 is fixed to the inner side of the support block 36 by bolts. In this way, the fixation of the automobile bushing 34 is completed, and then the hexagonal fixing block 33 can be inserted into the interior of the clamping shaft 111, and the clamping shaft 111 can be locked by bolts. In this way, the connection between the clamping shaft 111 and the hexagonal fixing block 33 can be completed. After that, the swing actuator 11 can be started to drive the overall swing loading assembly 1 to rotate, and the test can be carried out.
[0037] When it is necessary to test automobile bushings 34 of different sizes, the loading frame 12 can be unlocked by first screwing the bolts, and then the loading frame 12 can be moved laterally to change its horizontal position at the top of the connecting base 2. When it is adjusted to the appropriate position, the loading frame 12 can be re-fixed by screwing the bolts and cooperating with the T-nuts.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
