[0011] The gear sample is located between shim one and shim two, with shim two located in front of shim one.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The support shaft is inserted into the upper surface of the U-shaped support base.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The fixing bolt passes through and is threaded onto the upper surface of the fixing block, and the fixing bolt passes through and is threaded onto the upper surface of the U-shaped support.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The pressure block is inserted into the inner wall of the clamping body, and the gear sample is clamped into the inner wall of the placement groove.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

The first shim 24 and the second shim 25 are the same size, and their thicknesses can be adjusted according to the model of the gear sample 3 being processed. A threaded groove 201 is provided at the front end of the outer wall of the support shaft 23. The front surface of the support shaft 23 contacts the rear surface of the U-shaped support seat 2. A locking nut 21 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded groove 201. The rear surface of the locking nut 21 contacts the front surface of the U-shaped support seat 2. A fixing block 22 is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the U-shaped support seat 2 by a fixing bolt 26. The fixing block 22 can press the support shaft 23 onto the U-shaped support seat 2, ensuring the stability of the support shaft 23.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3The positioning component includes a pressure block 11. A transverse adjusting bolt 12 is threaded through and connected to the right surface of the clamping body 1. When the transverse adjusting bolt 12 is turned, it can squeeze the pressure block 11, causing the pressure block 11 to move laterally. A longitudinal adjusting bolt 13 is threaded through and connected to the lower surface of the clamping body 1. When the longitudinal adjusting bolt 13 is turned, it can squeeze the pressure block 11, causing the pressure block 11 to move longitudinally. A placement groove 101 is provided on the inner wall of the clamping body 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The gear sample 3 is located between shim 1 24 and shim 25. Shim 1 24 and shim 25 can clamp the gear sample 3, ensuring that the gear sample 3 will not slide back and forth during the test. Shim 25 is located in front of shim 1 24. The support shaft 23 is inserted into the upper surface of the U-shaped support 2. The fixing bolt 26 passes through and is threaded to the upper surface of the fixing block 22. The fixing bolt 26 passes through and is threaded to the upper surface of the U-shaped support 2. The fixing block 22 can be installed on the U-shaped support 2 by fixing bolt 26.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The pressure block 11 is inserted into the inner wall of the clamp body 1. Under the squeezing action of the transverse adjusting bolt 12 and the longitudinal adjusting bolt 13, the pressure block 11 can clamp and fix the left and right ends of the gear sample 3 to ensure the stability of the gear sample 3. The gear sample 3 is clamped into the inner wall of the placement groove 101. The left end of the transverse adjusting bolt 12 contacts the right surface of the pressure block 11, and the top end of the longitudinal adjusting bolt 13 contacts the lower surface of the pressure block 11.

[0035] Working principle: When using this device, first select the corresponding shim 24 and shim 25 according to the model of the gear sample 3 to be tested. After selection, first fit the corresponding shim 24 onto the outer wall of the support shaft 23, then fit the gear sample 3 onto the outer wall of the support shaft 23, and finally fit the shim 25 onto the outer wall of the support shaft 23. Then, pinch the shim 24, gear sample 3 and shim 25 and insert them into the U-shaped support seat 2. Then, use the fixing bolt 26 to fix the fixing block 22 onto the U-shaped support seat 2, and turn the locking nut 21 to fix the support shaft 23. At this time, the gear sample 3 cannot move back and forth or longitudinally.

[0036] Then align the teeth on the gear sample 3 with the placement groove 101 and place the clamp body 1 on the gear sample 3.

[0037] During placement, hold the clamp body 1 with your hand and turn the horizontal adjusting bolt 12 and the vertical adjusting bolt 13 to position the pressure block 11. The pressure block 11 will move during positioning and gradually clamp and fix the gear sample 3. When the pressure blocks 11 on both sides firmly clamp the gear sample 3, the clamp body 1, the U-shaped support seat 2, and the gear sample 3 will be connected together. At this time, apply pressure to the clamp body 1 to perform a bending fatigue performance test on the gear sample 3. After the test is completed, turn the horizontal adjusting bolt 12 and the vertical adjusting bolt 13 in the opposite direction, then remove the clamp body 1, and unscrew the locking nut 21 to release the limit on the support shaft 23. Finally, pull out the support shaft 23 to remove the gear sample 3.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
