[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Reference Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a tool for testing the life of an angular contact joint bearing in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a driving hydraulic rod 2, and a test shaft 3. The test shaft 3 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the angular contact joint bearing to be tested is sleeved on the test shaft 3. The driving hydraulic rod 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and is characterized in that a force-enhancing arm 4 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the test shaft 3, and the cylinder body of the driving hydraulic rod 2 is mounted on the frame 1. The push rod end of the driving hydraulic rod 2 is hinged to the lower end of the force-enhancing arm 4 to drive the force-enhancing arm 4 to swing by the extension and contraction of the push rod. In the process of using the test tool of this embodiment, it is only necessary to sleeve the angular contact joint bearing to be tested onto the test shaft 3 It can be done by putting it on, and then applying load to the joint bearing on the test shaft 3 through an external loading mechanism such as a hydraulic cylinder, and then driving the hydraulic rod 2 to swing the force-boosting arm 4, thereby driving the test shaft 3 to swing, thereby completing the test of the angular contact joint bearing, and because the telescopic power of driving the hydraulic rod 2 is first transmitted to the force-boosting arm 4, and then transmitted to the test shaft 3 to swing through the force-boosting arm 4, the leverage effect of the force-boosting arm 4 is utilized, so that the torque finally received by the test shaft 3 is much greater than that directly driven by the swinging hydraulic cylinder. Therefore, compared with the direct drive method used in the prior art, it can well avoid the problem of difficulty in testing due to insufficient torque.

[0016] As a specific embodiment of the improvement, a square socket 31 is provided on the test shaft 3, and a square shaft 41 is coaxially fixed on the force-boosting arm 4. The square shaft 41 is inserted into the socket 31 and adapted to the socket 31. By setting the square shaft 41 and the socket 31, the connection between the force-boosting arm 4 and the test shaft 3 can be effectively achieved, and the square shaft 41 slides in the socket 31 to simply and effectively absorb a certain vertical movement during the rotation of the test shaft 3. Compared with the method of hinged connection between the cylinder body of the driving hydraulic rod 2 and the frame 1, the driving hydraulic rod 2 can be more firmly installed on the frame 1. Figure 1 As shown, the driving hydraulic rod 2 of this embodiment is firmly mounted on the frame 1 by arranging four bolts at the front end of the cylinder body.

[0017] As a specific embodiment of the improvement, the end of the test shaft 3 away from the frame 1 is coaxially connected to the load shaft through a coupling 5, and a middle load body 6 is coaxially sleeved on the load shaft. Two angular contact joint bearings to be tested are sleeved on the load shaft and arranged near the two ends of the middle load body 6. Both ends of the middle load body 6 are coaxially fixed with spacers 7, and the two spacers 7 are respectively against the inner rings of the two angular contact joint bearings to be tested. The end of the load shaft facing away from the coupling 5 is coaxially provided with an end load body 8, and the end load body 8 is coaxially installed on the angular contact joint bearing to be tested. At the end of the joint bearing facing away from the middle load body 6, a radial load is applied to the side surface of the middle load body 6, and an axial load is applied to the end face of the end load body 8. Through the arrangement of the above structure, the applied radial load can be transferred to the inner ring of the angular contact joint bearing to be tested through the load shaft through the action of the middle load body 6, and converted into a load applied from the inner ring of the angular contact joint bearing to the outer ring. Through the arrangement of the end load body 8, the end load can be transferred to the inner ring of the angular contact joint bearing through the spacer ring 7, thereby realizing the load application to the angular contact joint bearing.

[0018] As a specific embodiment of the improvement, an abutment ring 71 is coaxially provided on the end face of the spacer 7 facing away from the middle load body 6. The abutment ring 71 is integrally arranged with the spacer 7. The abutment ring 71 is in the shape of a truncated cone. The end with a larger area of ​​the truncated cone is integrally arranged with the spacer 7, and the end with a smaller area abuts against the inner ring of the angular contact spherical bearing to be tested. Through the setting of the abutment ring 7, the end load can be effectively transferred, and the abutment ring 7 itself has sufficient structural strength.

[0019] As a specific embodiment of the improvement, the medium load body 6 includes a medium load ring 61 and two test bearings 62. The two test bearings 62 are installed on the load shaft at intervals. The medium load ring 61 is coaxially sleeved on the two test bearings 62. A sealing ring is coaxially fixed on the end face of the spacer 7. The sealing ring is abutted against the outer ring end face of the test bearing 62 to form a sealed space between the spacer 7, the test bearing 62 and the medium load ring 61. Through the arrangement of the above structure, a better test function can be achieved by injecting lubricating oil into this space, and the radial load on the medium load body 6 can be better transmitted.

[0020] As a specific embodiment of the improvement, a plurality of annular steps 9 are formed on the load shaft, and the plurality of annular steps 9 are arranged on the load shaft, wherein the annular step 9 close to the middle of the load shaft has the largest diameter, and the diameters of the remaining steps decrease successively along the length direction of the load shaft, and are divided into two groups, which are symmetrically arranged with the annular step 9 in the middle as the axis of symmetry, and are respectively used to install the test bearing 62, the spacer 7 and the bearing to be tested. By setting up a plurality of annular steps 9, an effective installation position can be effectively provided to the angular contact joint bearing to be tested, the spacer 7 and the test bearing 62, and the resistance effect of the annular steps 9 can be utilized to avoid axial sliding of the test bearing 62, the spacer 7 and the bearing to be tested on the load shaft when an axial load is applied.

[0021] In summary, the angular contact joint bearing life test fixture of this embodiment increases the torque applied to the test shaft 3 by the driving hydraulic rod 2 by providing the force-boosting arm 4, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of being unable to perform testing due to insufficient torque.
