Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conductive slip ring technology, and in particular to a load testing device for conductive slip rings. Background Technology
[0002] Conductive slip rings are precision power transmission devices that enable power and signal transmission between two relatively rotating mechanisms. They are widely used in robots, intelligent production lines, radar systems, etc. The electrical transmission function of conductive slip rings is mainly to transmit electrical signals between rotating and stationary parts through wires and sliding friction pairs. To ensure that the conductive slip ring can reliably transmit power and signals with unlimited rotation of n±360° between the rotating and stationary parts, the product must undergo process running-in testing before leaving the factory. The stator end of the conductive slip ring is fixed, and the rotor end of the conductive slip ring is driven by a motor through a rotating chuck. During operation, the circuit of the conductive slip ring must be continuously monitored. During operation, there should be no excessive fluctuation in dynamic resistance or short circuits or open circuits. The instantaneous interruption test equipment for monitoring conductive slip rings is expensive, and the high cost is not suitable for low- to mid-range conductive slip rings. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a load testing device for conductive slip rings, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies.

The motor and the conductive slip ring are respectively mounted on the test bench support. The output end of the motor is connected to the rotor end of the conductive slip ring. The light bulb is connected to a circuit at the rotor end of the conductive slip ring. The stator end of the conductive slip ring is connected to a DC power supply via a corresponding circuit lead.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 The diagram shows a load testing device for a conductive slip ring, comprising a test bench support 1, a motor 2, a conductive slip ring 3, and a light bulb 4. The motor 2 and the conductive slip ring 3 are respectively mounted on the test bench support 1. The output terminal of the motor 2 is connected to the rotor terminal of the conductive slip ring 3. The light bulb 4 is connected to a circuit on the rotor terminal of the conductive slip ring 3, and the corresponding circuit lead-out wires on the stator terminal of the conductive slip ring 3 are connected to a DC power supply. The motor 2 provides adjustable power output to the testing device, and the light bulb 4 is connected in series with the circuit of the conductive slip ring 3 as a load during the test to monitor the dynamic resistance fluctuations and momentary interruptions of the conductive slip ring.
[0022] The test bench support 1 includes support columns 1-1, support plate 1-2, conductive slip ring fixing plate 1-3, and positioning rods 1-4. Multiple support columns 1-1 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support plate 1-2, and multiple positioning rods 1-4 are positioned between the bottom of the support plate 1-2 and the bottom of the conductive slip ring fixing plate 1-3. Preferably, the support columns 1-1 and the support plate 1-2 are connected and fixed by screws.
[0023] Positioning rods 1-4 are made of tungsten steel. The preferred quantity of high-precision chromium rods is four, with an outer diameter tolerance in the micrometer range.
[0024] Both the support plate 1-2 and the conductive slip ring fixing plate 1-3 are provided with multiple positioning rod mounting holes, and the positioning rod 1-4 is fitted with the positioning rod mounting holes with a clearance fit. The small clearance fit between the positioning rod 1-4 and the positioning rod mounting holes ensures the parallelism of the two planes.
[0025] The top of the conductive slip ring fixing plate 1-3 is provided with multiple conductive slip ring stator end mounting holes, which are fixedly connected to the stator end face of the conductive slip ring 3. Preferably, the conductive slip ring stator end mounting holes are rigidly connected to the stator end face of the conductive slip ring 3 by screws.
[0026] The top of the support plate 1-2 is equipped with a rotating chuck 1-5. The rotor end of the conductive slip ring 3 is fitted with the rotating chuck 1-5 with clearance and rotates. The rotating chuck 1-5 is connected to the drive shaft of the motor 2 through the locking nut 1-6.
[0027] Motor 2 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of support plate 1-2, and the drive shaft of motor 2 is perpendicular to support plate 1-2. A speed controller is provided to adjust the motor speed, providing adjustable power output for the testing device.
[0028] The bulb 4 and the rotor end lead of the conductive slip ring 3 are fixed to the rotating chuck 1-5 with electrical tape.
[0029] Working principle: A conductive slip ring typically uses two deep groove ball bearings and a friction pair to achieve 360° rotation of the stator and transmit current or data. Errors in processing, assembly, and debugging may cause a sudden increase in resistance, short circuit, or open circuit at a certain azimuth angle of the conductive slip ring. Therefore, a running-in test is required before leaving the factory. The stator end of the conductive slip ring 3 is fixed, while the rotor end is driven by motor 2 via rotating chucks 1-5. During operation, a light bulb 4 is connected to the circuit of the conductive slip ring 3 to continuously power the circuit. Monitoring shows that if the bulb flickers, the dynamic fluctuation is too large; if the bulb goes out completely at a certain angle but remains lit at other angles, the positive and negative terminals are short-circuited or open-circuited; if the bulb goes out completely after running for a period of time, the positive and negative terminals are short-circuited or open-circuited; if bulb 4 remains lit and stable, the result is qualified. The system is simple in structure, extremely low in cost, and provides accurate, intuitive, and clear test results. It can replace expensive testing equipment in low- to mid-range conductive slip ring testing for dynamic resistance fluctuations and continuity testing, significantly reducing costs.
