Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of servo motor testing equipment, and in particular to a servo motor performance testing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A servo motor is an actuator in a flight control system that manipulates the rotation of aircraft control surfaces. It is classified into electric servos, hydraulic servos, and electro-hydraulic servos. The servo wing refers to the control surface used to control the direction and position of moving devices such as aircraft or robots. Specifically, on an aircraft, a servo motor controls the movement of control surfaces such as ailerons and elevators to achieve actions such as roll and pitch. A servo motor typically has four retractable winglets; normally, the winglets retract into the control tube, and during operation, they deploy instantaneously. To meet the overall performance requirements of the servo motor, the deployment time of the winglets needs to be accurately measured during the production process; therefore, servo motor performance testing equipment is required to test its performance.
[0003] The existing measurement method is as follows: manually retract the rudder wing, tie the rudder wing to the outside of the rudder tube with a rubber band so that the rudder wing is inside the rudder tube, prepare a high-speed camera, and quickly remove the rubber band during measurement while the high-speed camera captures the opening process of the rudder wing to obtain the rudder wing opening time.
[0004] The aforementioned measurement method is inconvenient to operate, requiring manual release of the rubber bands while simultaneously recording video. This necessitates at least two people working together. Furthermore, the synchronicity of the four servo wings' opening during manual release cannot be guaranteed, reducing test accuracy. Additionally, the circular distribution of the four servo wings necessitates four high-speed cameras to simultaneously measure their opening time, making the process cumbersome. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a servo motor performance testing device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

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.
[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5 The illustrated servo motor performance testing device includes a base 1, a centering plate 11 at the center of the top of the base 1, a servo cylinder 8 on top of the centering plate 11, a servo wing 8.1 inside the servo cylinder 8, and a retaining ring 4 engaged at the top of the servo cylinder 8. A positioning plate 12 is provided on the top of the base 1, and a vertical groove 8.2 is formed on the outside of the servo cylinder 8. The positioning plate 12 is engaged with the vertical groove 8.2. The retaining ring 4 is cylindrical, and its inner diameter matches the inner diameter of the servo cylinder 8. The retaining ring 4 can be used to press down the servo wing 8.1 inside the servo cylinder 8, the centering plate 11 can be used to position the servo cylinder 8, and the positioning plate 12 engaged in the vertical groove 8.2 can be used to limit the movement of the servo cylinder 8.
[0025] Additionally, a gantry frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. A lifting electric cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the gantry frame 2, and a pressing electric cylinder 7 is also fixedly connected to one side of the top of the gantry frame 2. A lifting assembly 3 is provided at the telescopic end of the lifting electric cylinder 6, and a pressure plate 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the pressing electric cylinder 7. The lifting assembly 3 includes a lifting ring 3.1 and a linear bearing 3.2. The top of the lifting ring 3.1 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting electric cylinder 6, and the interiors of both ends of the lifting ring 3.1 are respectively connected to the external sliders of the linear bearing 3.2. A lifting groove is provided on the exterior of the bottom end of the fixed ring 4, and the lifting groove fits against the lifting ring 3.1. When the pressing electric cylinder 7 is opened, the pressure plate 5 moves downward, pressing the rudder barrel 8. Then, the lifting electric cylinder 6 is opened, causing the lifting ring 3.1 to move upward. The lifting ring 3.1 moves upward through the lifting groove, causing the fixed ring 4 to move upward, facilitating the deployment of the rudder wing 8.1 inside the rudder barrel 8.
[0026] Finally, a sensor bracket 9 is installed on the top of the base 1. The sensor bracket 9 includes a sensor bracket base plate 9.1, a damping hinge 9.2, and a sensor bracket arm 9.3. The bottom of the sensor bracket base plate 9.1 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the top of the sensor bracket base plate 9.1 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sensor bracket arm 9.3 through the damping hinge 9.2. Photoelectric sensors 10 are fixedly installed on the sides of both the sensor bracket base plate 9.1 and the sensor bracket arm 9.3. There are four sensor brackets 9, which are circumferentially distributed on the top of the base 1. The rudder opening time can be measured by the time difference sensed by two photoelectric sensors 10. All data during the test is transmitted to a computer, and detailed test results can be obtained through software processing. At the same time, the position of the photoelectric sensors 10 can be adjusted through the sensor brackets 9, which can realize the measurement of the rudder opening time of rudders 8.1 of the same type and within a certain size range, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0027] Working principle: Before measurement, the rudder wing 8.1 retracted into the rudder tube 8 is pressed down by the fixing ring 4. Then, the rudder tube 8 with the fixing ring 4 is placed on the base 1. The lifting groove of the outer circle of the fixing ring 4 fits with the lifting ring 3.1. The centering plate 11 positions the rudder tube 8 at the center of the base 1. The radial positioning of the rudder tube 8 is achieved by the positioning plate 12 being clamped in the vertical groove 8.2 of the outer circle of the rudder tube 8. After the rudder tube 8 is positioned, the rudder wing 8.1 is exactly aligned with the groove of the photoelectric sensor 10. After adjusting the position of the photoelectric sensor 10, the clamping electric cylinder 7 is activated. The extension rod of the clamping electric cylinder 7 descends, causing the pressure plate 5 to press against the rudder tube 8. The lifting electric cylinder 6 is activated, causing the lifting ring 3.1 and the fixed ring 4 to rise synchronously. The rudder wing 8.1 opens instantaneously. Each rudder wing 8.1 passes through the corresponding upper and lower photoelectric sensors 10 sequentially from opening to closing. The rudder wing opening time is measured by the time difference sensed by the two photoelectric sensors 10. All data during the test is transmitted to the computer, and detailed test results can be obtained after software processing.
