Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball screw actuator technology, and in particular to an automatic break-in test device for aircraft ball screw actuators. Background Technology
[0002] The ball screw actuator of an aircraft engine is an important component of the aircraft's air system. The ball screw actuator of an aircraft engine uses a flexible shaft linkage switch to control the bleed air switch, thereby achieving the purpose of adjustable bleed air switch. The number of ball screw actuators sent for repair in civil airliner engines is relatively large. After their repair and assembly, due to the preload effect, the actuators are not flexible in operation. They can only be manually operated one by one for break-in, which is extremely inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide an automatic running-in testing device for aircraft ball screw actuators. Multiple ball screw actuators are connected in series on a rotating connecting rod via a flexible rotating shaft. Twelve ball screw actuators are fixed in a row by a slide rail and a slider. A servo motor rotates a first bevel gear, causing a meshing second bevel gear and the rotating connecting rod on its inner wall to rotate, thus running in the ball screw actuators. The rotation of the screw motor on the sliding seat allows the threaded camera to move, monitoring the ball screw actuators during the running-in process and enabling timely detection of abnormalities.

The design of the second protective cover can effectively protect the servo motor from external impacts and extend the service life of the motor.
[0009] According to the present invention, an automatic running-in testing device for an aircraft ball screw actuator is provided, wherein a guide rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding seat, and the outer surface of the guide rod is slidably connected to the camera. The design of the guide rod allows the camera to remain stable during movement, thereby improving the accuracy of image acquisition and monitoring.
[0010] According to the present invention, an automatic break-in testing device for an aircraft ball screw actuator is provided. The camera is located outside the slider, and the lower surface of the camera is slidably connected to the sliding seat.
