[0024] Explanation of reference signs: measured rotary actuator 1, first support frame 2, second support frame 3, fixed flange 4, torque sensor 5, output shaft 6, magnetic powder brake 7, elastic coupling 8, adapter shaft 9. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 The technical solution adopted in the specific embodiment is shown as follows: a multifunctional test platform for rotary actuators, characterized in that it comprises a first support frame 2 and a second support frame 3, one side of the first support frame 2 is connected with a fixed flange 4 for fixing a measured rotary actuator, one side of the second support frame 3 away from the first support frame 2 is connected with a magnetic powder brake 7 for providing a test load, one end of the output end of the magnetic powder brake 7 is fixedly connected with one end of an adapter shaft 9 penetrating through the second support frame 3, the other end of the adapter shaft 9 is connected with one end of an output shaft 6 through an elastic coupling 8, the other end of the output shaft 6 is connected with one end of a torque sensor 5, and the other end of the torque sensor 5 is connected with the measured rotary actuator 1.

[0026] The torque sensor 5 has a range that can meet the test torque use requirements of multiple models of rotary actuators. The torque sensor has a range that can meet the test torque use requirements of multiple models of rotary actuators. Since the torque sensor is expensive, it can be connected through different fixed flanges, so it is not necessary to purchase multiple torque sensors, which can effectively reduce costs.

[0027] The size of the output shaft 6 and the elastic coupling 8 is uniquely determined considering the multiple sharing of torque sensors and the general use of multiple tests. The output shaft and the elastic coupling are uniquely sized considering the multiple sharing of torque sensors and the general use of multiple tests at the beginning of the design. After the unique size is determined, the output shaft and the elastic coupling have only one size, reducing the diversity of parts, reducing the difficulty of processing, reducing the procurement difficulty and the complexity of process design and process development when multiple test benches are tested simultaneously, reducing the processing cycle, and using pre-assembly during the use process. When replacing new specifications, it can not be necessary to disassemble, shorten the assembly time, and reduce the probability of errors.

[0028] The fixed flange 4 is connected with the measured rotary actuator through fastening screws.

[0029] The fixed flange 4 is connected with the first support frame 2 through fastening screws.

[0030] The magnetic powder brake 7 is connected with the second support frame 3 through fastening screws.

[0031] The output end of the magnetic powder brake 7 is connected with one end of the adapter shaft 9 through fastening screw and C-shaped flat key.

[0032] The other end of the adapter shaft 9 is connected with one end of the elastic coupling 8 through the inner hexagonal flat end set screw on the side.

[0033] One end of the output shaft 6 is connected with the other end of the elastic coupling 8 through the inner hexagonal flat end set screw on the side.

[0034] One end of the torque sensor 5 is connected with the other end of the output shaft 6 through fastening screw.

[0035] The other end of the torque sensor 5 is connected with the measured rotary actuator through fastening screw.

[0036] The bottom of the first support frame 2 and the second support frame 3 are provided with a plurality of fixed hole positions at equal intervals. The plurality of fixed hole positions arranged at equal intervals can realize multi-interval adjustment of the support frame.

[0037] The parts material of the torque sensor 5 and the output shaft 6 is aviation aluminum. Due to the characteristics of the magnetic powder brake 11, the magnetic field disappears without power supply, the magnetic powder returns to loose state, the connection between the rotor and the ring pole is disconnected, and there is almost no resistance. At this time, if there is external force acting on the rotor, the rotor can rotate relatively easily, but this is not a strict sense of "rotation", only the resistance from the magnetic powder brake disappears, that is, the no-load state is in the test. It can realize any value test in the interval from approximately equal to 0 (since the parts material of the torque sensor 5 and the output shaft 6 is aviation aluminum, the mass of aviation aluminum is very light) to the measured torque value.

[0038] The utility model discloses a working principle: when using, through the elastic coupling as the bridge together with the measured rotary actuator and load connection, the magnetic powder brake is used as the load, after electrification, the coil generates the magnetic field, and the magnetic powder forms the magnetic chain under the action of the magnetic field, and the ring pole and rotor are connected, when the rotor rotates, due to the linking action of the magnetic powder, will produce certain resistance moment, thereby realizes the control to the movement, after electrification, the magnetic field intensity determines the combination of the magnetic powder close degree, and then influences the braking effect, and the current is greater, and the magnetic field is stronger, and the magnetic powder is combined more closely, and the resistance moment that produces is greater, so this can not have to process multiple different weight loads to complete different test working condition requirements, and the load can be realized through the current size adjustment, shorten the processing period, reduce the time occupation of manpower and material resources, and the structure is also more simple, reduces the transmission error, and is also more convenient, and the value can be directly calculated through the current; Torque sensor adopts the torque test requirement of multiple models of rotary actuator that can meet the range, due to the expensive torque sensor, can be connected through different fixed flanges, need not purchase multiple torque sensors, can effectively reduce the cost; The output shaft and the elastic coupling, since considering the multiple sharing and multiple test general situation of torque sensor at the beginning of design, after being settled down with the only size, the output shaft and the elastic coupling two parts only have the only size, reduce the diversity of parts, reduce the processing difficulty, when multiple test product platform synchronous test, reduce the procurement difficulty of procurement and the program design and complicated process of reducing the processing procedure, reduce the processing period, and the use process can also adopt preassembly, and when replacing new specifications, can not disassemble, shorten the assembly time, reduce the error probability; Due to the characteristics of the magnetic powder brake, in the case of not electrification, the magnetic field disappears, and the magnetic powder restores the loose state, and the connection of the rotor and the ring pole is disconnected, and there is almost no resistance, at this time, if there is external force acting on the rotor, the rotor can rotate relatively easily, but this is not strictly the "rotation" in the sense, only without the resistance from the magnetic powder brake, i.e. the load state is in the test, and the torque sensor 5 and the output shaft 6 can be completely realized arbitrary numerical value test in the interval equal to 0 (since the part material of the torque sensor 5 and the output shaft 6 adopts aviation aluminum, and the quality of the aviation aluminum is very light) to the measured torque value.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and its advantages, and the person skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited to the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions are only to illustrate the principle of the utility model, and various changes and improvements can be made to the utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed utility model, and the scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. The utility model is not described in detail, and is the known technology of the person skilled in the art.
