[0048] The service life testing device for the bearing retainer is used in the following manner: after the bearing retainer 15 and the rollers 16 are assembled, the movable part 6 is placed above the bearing retainer 15 and the rollers 16, the loading plate 8 is driven downward by the pressure driving part 4, the contact part 7 is brought into contact with the rollers 16 and the rollers 16 are pressed, so as to simulate the force state of the rollers 16 in actual working condition, under the pressure state of the rollers 16, the movable part 6 is driven by the horizontal driving part to move along a circular arc with a specified radius, so as to simulate the size of the actual bearing, the movable part 6 is driven to move back and forth by the extension and retraction of the oil cylinder 9, until the retainer 15 is worn, deformed or broken, the testing is stopped, at this time, the actual service life of the bearing retainer 15 can be calculated, since the size and the force are simulated in the actual working condition, the testing result is more accurate and has more reference value. Embodiment
[0049] As shown in Figures 6-7 the difference between the embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment one is that the movable part 6 is in arc structure, and the inner wall position is provided with teeth, wherein the arc size of the movable part 6 directly meets the actual size of the bearing ring, and the movable part 6 with different arc can be designed according to the actual working condition;
[0050] The guiding assembly 5 comprises at least two first guiding wheels 13 installed on the surface of the workbench 3, and the number of the first guiding wheels 13 in the example is two.
[0051] The horizontal driving part is a gear 12 installed on the surface of the workbench 3 and rotatable, wherein a motor is installed below the workbench 3, the shaft end of the motor is connected with the gear 12, and the motor can be used to drive the gear 12 to rotate. The gear 12 is engaged with the teeth, and the gear 12 and the at least two first guiding wheels 13 together realize the guiding effect during the movement of the movable part 6.
[0052] The cross section of the contact part 7 is in L-shaped structure, and the contact part 7 and the movable part 6 form a raceway groove convenient for the movement of the bearing retainer 15 and the rollers 16, which not only simulates the working condition of the actual ring in size, but also is closer to the shape of the bearing ring in shape.
[0053] It also comprises a support part installed on the workbench 3 and located below the movable part 6, which is used to support the movable part 6 and reduce the friction during the movement of the movable part 6, in the embodiment, an arc-shaped groove is provided below the movable part 6, and the retainer 15 and the rollers 16 are also installed in the arc-shaped groove, which are used to support and reduce the friction of the movable part 6, and have better stability.
[0054] In this embodiment, the same pressurization method as in Embodiment 1 is still used. The pressure is applied to the contact member 7 by the loading plate 8, and the contact member 7 then applies pressure to the roller 16. In the horizontal drive mode, the gear 12 can drive the toothed movable member 6 to move. The guide effect of the movable member 6 is achieved by the cooperation of the first guide wheel 13 and the gear 12. It has the characteristics of simple structure and accurate test results. Example
[0055] like Figures 8-12 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment 2 is that the guide component 5 includes at least two first guide wheels 13 and at least one second guide wheel 14 mounted on the surface of the workbench 3. The first guide wheel 13 is located on one side of the movable part, and the second guide wheel 14 is located on the other side of the movable part. That is, the gear 12 in embodiment 2 is replaced with the second guide wheel 14. On the one hand, this is to reduce the manufacturing cost of the movable part, so that the tooth structure on the movable part does not need to be set. On the other hand, the use of the second guide wheel 14 in conjunction with the two first guide wheels 13 has a better guiding effect on the movable part 6.
[0056] Furthermore, in this example, since the gear 12 structure is replaced, the horizontal drive component includes a bracket 10 mounted on the side of the worktable 3. The upper surface of the bracket 10 is hinged to a drive cylinder 9, and the end of the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder 9 is hinged to the end position of the movable component 6, that is, the movement of the movable component 6 is achieved by using a cylinder.
[0057] It also includes a support member, which is set on the worktable 3 and located below the movable part 6. It is configured to support the movable part 6 and reduce the friction during the movement of the movable part 6. In this embodiment, an arc-shaped groove 605 is provided below the movable part 6. The retainer 15 and roller 16 are also installed in the arc-shaped groove 605. The retainer 15 and roller 16 serve as support members for the movable part 6 and reduce friction, resulting in better stability.
[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
