Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the transmission shaft torsional fatigue testing machine disclosed in this embodiment includes a worktable 1. A torsional assembly 2 is provided on one side of the top surface of the worktable 1. The torsional assembly 2 includes a power motor 21, a reducer 22, and a flange 23. The power motor 21 is connected to the worktable 1 through a power motor bracket 24, and the reducer 22 is connected to the worktable 1 through a reducer bracket 25. The output shaft of the power motor 21 is connected to the flange 23 through the reducer 22. The power motor 21 is electrically connected to a computer. The computer controls the operation of the power motor 21. The output shaft of the power motor 21 drives the flange 23 to rotate through the reducer 22. The flange 23 can drive the transmission shaft to rotate to perform torsional fatigue testing. The reducer 22 can reduce the speed of the power motor 21, thereby making the doll more stable during operation.
[0020] On the other side of the top surface of the workbench 1, there is a slide rail assembly 3. The slide rail assembly 3 includes a second power motor 31, a second reducer 32, a rack 33, and a first sliding seat 34. Guide rails 11 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the top surface of the workbench 1. The first sliding seat 34 slides with the guide rails 11. The rack 33 is located between the two guide rails 11 and is fixedly installed on the top surface of the workbench 1. A gear is meshed on the top of the rack 33. The second power motor 31 is connected to the top surface of the first sliding seat 34 through a second power motor bracket 35. The second reducer 31... 32 is connected to the sliding seat 34 via the reducer bracket 36. The power motor 31 is connected to the gear via the reducer 32. One end of the transmission shaft is connected to the flange 23. The position of the slide rail assembly 3 is adjusted according to the length of the transmission shaft. The power motor 31 works. The output shaft of the power motor 31 drives the gear to rotate via the reducer 32. While the gear is rotating, it meshes with the rack 33 and can move along the rack 33. Thus, the slide rail assembly 3 can drive the distance between the angle adjustment mechanism 4 and the torsion assembly 2.
[0021] An angle adjustment mechanism 4 is provided on the top surface of the slide rail assembly 3. The angle adjustment mechanism 4 includes a second sliding seat 41, an angle swing seat 42, and a handle 43. Guide rails 341 are provided on both the left and right sides of the top surface of the first sliding seat 34. The second sliding seat 41 and the guide rails 341 are slidably engaged and locked together by bolts. The top surface of the second sliding seat 41 has a T-shaped arc groove 45. The angle swing seat 42 is slidably connected to the arc groove 45 and locked together by bolts. The handle 43 is fixedly installed on the front side of the angle swing seat 42. A sensor connection flange 46 is provided on the side of the angle swing seat 42 that is close to the torsion assembly 2. The sensor connection flange 46 is connected to the top surface of the angle swing seat 42 through a flange bracket 47. A torque sensor 4 is provided between the sensor connection flange 46 and the top of the angle swing seat 42. 8. The torque sensor 48 is electrically connected to the computer. The drive shaft is in the form of a universal joint. In actual use, different swing angles or actual installation angles will occur. Adjustments can be made according to the actual situation. The second sliding seat 41 can move back and forth along the first sliding seat 34 via the second guide rail 341. At the same time, it can move along the arc groove 45 via the angle swing seat 42. The angle swing seat 42 can drive the sensor connecting flange 46 to adjust the swing angle. The corresponding angle swing seat 42 and the second sliding seat 41 can be locked by bolts. The other end of the drive shaft is connected to the sensor connecting flange 46. When the first power motor 21 drives the drive shaft, the force is applied to the drive shaft and transmitted to the torque sensor 48 through the flange bracket 47 to generate torque. The torque sensor 48 transmits the signal to the signal acquisition software and sends it to the computer for data aggregation and analysis to simulate the required situation.
[0022] A support component 5 is provided between the slide rail assembly 3 and the angle adjustment mechanism 4. The support component 5 is located on the top surface of the worktable 1. The support component 5 includes a lead screw 51 and a support plate 52. Through holes are opened on the top surfaces of the front and rear sides of the support plate 52. The lead screw 51 passes through the corresponding through holes and can move along the through holes.

A slider 54 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the lead screw 51. The slider 54 is slidably connected to the corresponding guide rail 11. When torsional fatigue tests are performed on drive shafts of different diameters, rotating the two nuts 53 at the same time can move the support plate 52 along the lead screw 51, thereby adjusting the height of the support plate 52. When torsional fatigue tests are performed on drive shafts of different lengths, the slider 54 moves along the guide rail 11, which can adjust the position of the support plate 52 so that the support plate 52 is located in the middle of the drive shaft, thus providing support for the drive shaft.
[0023] A protective assembly 6 is installed above the workbench 1. The torsion assembly 2, slide rail assembly 3, angle adjustment mechanism 4, and support component 5 are all located inside the protective assembly 6. The protective assembly 6 includes a protective cover 61 and a guide rail 63. Protective covers 61 are provided on both sides above the workbench 1. Several guide blocks 62 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the protective cover 61. Guide rails 63 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the top surface of the workbench 1. The guide blocks 62 slide in cooperation with the corresponding guide rails 63. During operation, the protective cover 61 can play a protective role to prevent injury to the operator when the drive shaft breaks. The sliding cooperation between the guide blocks 62 and the guide rails 63 makes it easy to move the position of the protective cover 61, which is convenient for the operator to operate.
[0024] Several shims 7 are movably installed on the bottom surface of the workbench 1. The top surface of the shims 7 is fixedly mounted with screws 71, and two nuts 72 are threaded onto the screws 71. The screws 71 pass through the workbench 1, and the shims 7 provide support for the workbench 1, making it more stable during operation. The screws 71 and nuts 72 make it easy to adjust the height of the device and easy to replace the shims 7, making the device more convenient to use.
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] Before conducting the experiment, the drive shaft must be installed. Because the drive shaft is in the form of a universal joint, different swing angles or actual installation angles will occur during actual use. The support component 5 supports the sample to prevent the drive shaft from sagging due to the universal joint. The slide rail assembly 3 adjusts the distance between itself and the torsion assembly 2 according to the length of the drive shaft. The sliding seat 41 can be adjusted and moved back and forth. The angular swing seat 42 can swing to adjust the swing angle, creating a required angle and installation position with the drive shaft.
[0027] The power motor 21 rotates under computer control, driving the reducer 22 to rotate. The reducer 22 applies force to the drive shaft sample through the flange 23. One end of the drive shaft is connected to the flange 23, and the other end is connected to the sensor connection flange 46. The torque is transmitted to the torque sensor 48 through the flange bracket 47 to generate torque. The torque sensor 48 transmits the signal to the signal acquisition software and sends it to the computer for data aggregation and analysis to simulate the required conditions.
