Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following description fully illustrates specific embodiments of the present invention to enable those skilled in the art to practice and reproduce it.

[0027] A multi-size adaptable gear fatigue testing fixture, comprising: a gear clamping part, a gear tooth loading part, and a position adjustment part.

[0028] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the gear clamping part is provided with a left gear support plate 8, a right gear support plate 9, a clamping nut 10, a clamping bolt 11, and a gear support plate fastening bolt 12. The left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9 have the same structure. The left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9 are provided with support plate through holes, and the test gear 7 is sandwiched between the left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9. The clamping bolt 11 passes through the gear through holes of the left gear support plate 8, the test gear 7, and the support plate through hole of the right gear support plate 9. The three components are connected by the clamping bolt 11 and the clamping nut 10. The left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9 are fixedly connected to the sliding platform 16 by the gear support plate fastening bolt 12.

[0029] The gear clamping part, gear tooth loading part, and position adjustment part are included. The gear clamping part includes: a left gear support plate 8, a right gear support plate 9, a clamping nut 10, a clamping bolt 11, and a gear support plate fastening bolt 12. The left gear support plate and the right gear support plate have the same structure. The left gear support plate and the right gear support plate are provided with support plate through holes. The clamping bolt 11 passes through the through holes of the left gear support plate and the right gear support plate. The lower part of the left gear support plate and the right gear support plate are provided with connecting through holes. Fastening bolt 12 passes through the connecting through hole and connects to the threaded hole of sliding platform 16; upper pressure head 1 is connected to the corresponding interface of gear fatigue loading machine; the rod of lower pressure head 2 is provided with external thread; lower pressure head height adjusting nut 3 is installed on the rod of lower pressure head 2; the lower end of the rod of lower pressure head 2 is installed on the inner hole of lower pressure head sleeve 4; a connecting plate is provided at the lower part of lower pressure head sleeve 4; the connecting plate is provided with multiple sleeve connecting through holes; lower pressure head sleeve fastening bolt 5 passes through the sleeve connecting through hole and connects to the threaded hole of fixed platform 6.

[0030] The gear loading section includes an upper pressure head 1, a lower pressure head 2, a lower pressure head height adjusting nut 3, a lower pressure head sleeve 4, and a lower pressure head sleeve fastening bolt 5. The upper pressure head 1 connects to the corresponding interface of the gear fatigue loading machine. The rod of the lower pressure head 2 is threaded, forming a threaded pair with the lower pressure head height adjusting nut 3. The lower pressure head sleeve 4 has a hollow internal structure, forming a sliding pair with the rod of the lower pressure head 2. One end of the lower pressure head height adjusting nut 3 forms a rotating pair with the lower pressure head sleeve 4. The lower pressure head sleeve 4 is fixed to the fixed platform 6 via the lower pressure head sleeve fastening bolt 5. The left and right gear support plates are L-shaped. Connecting through holes are located on the transverse plates of the L-shaped structures.

[0031] The position adjustment section includes a sliding platform 16, an adjusting screw 15, an adjusting handwheel 14, a screw cover plate 13, sliding platform fastening bolts 17, a fixed platform 6, and fixing screws 18. The adjusting screw 15 has left-hand and right-hand threads at both ends, which respectively mate with the threaded holes on the V-shaped protrusions at the bottom of the left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9 to form a threaded pair. The adjusting screw 15 is embedded in the groove 16-1 in the sliding platform 16 to form a rotary pair. The screw cover plate 13 is mounted on the sliding platform 16. The middle section of the sliding platform 16... It has a dovetail groove, which cooperates with the V-shaped protrusion at the bottom of the left support plate 8 and the right support plate 9 of the gear to form a sliding pair. The adjusting handwheel 14 is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 15. The bottom of the sliding platform 16 has a V-shaped protrusion, which cooperates with the dovetail groove on the fixed platform 6 to form a sliding pair. The sliding platform 16 is fixedly connected to the fixed platform 6 by the sliding platform fastening bolt 17. There are two countersunk holes in the middle of the fixed platform 6, in which fixing screws 18 are installed. The fixed platform 6 is fixedly connected to the base of the gear fatigue loading machine by the fixing screws 18.

[0032] Before starting the test, the fixed platform 6 is first fixed on the base of the gear fatigue loading machine by fixing screw 18. Then, the position of the lower pressure head sleeve 4 is adjusted so that the lower pressure head 2 and the upper pressure head 1 are coaxial. Then, the lower pressure head sleeve fastening bolt 5 is tightened so that the position of the lower pressure head sleeve 4 is fixed relative to the fixed platform 6.

[0033] Then, rotate the adjusting handwheel 14. Since the two ends of the adjusting screw 15 have threads with opposite directions of rotation, and respectively cooperate with the threaded holes on the V-shaped protrusions at the bottom of the left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9 to form a threaded pair, the left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9 will move in opposite directions to separate. When the distance between the left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9 is greater than the gear tooth width, the test gear 7 will be installed between the left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9. Then, insert the gear support plate fastening bolt 12 so that the test gear 7 is coaxial with the mounting holes on the left and right gear support plates. Then, rotate the adjusting handwheel 14 in the opposite direction so that the left gear support plate 8 and the right gear support plate 9 move closer to clamp the test gear 7. Since the middle part of the adjusting screw 15 is embedded in the groove 16-1 in the middle of the sliding platform 16, it can be ensured that the tooth width center of the test gear 7 is located at the center of the sliding platform along the length direction.

[0034] Next, tighten the clamping nut 10 to completely clamp the test gear 7 between the left and right support plates. Then, tighten the gear support plate fastening bolt 12 to fix the left and right support plates relative to the sliding platform 16. Next, adjust the position of the sliding platform 16 so that the test gear 7 is close to the upper pressure head 1 and the lower pressure head 2. Then, rotate the lower pressure head height adjusting nut 3 to adjust the height of the lower pressure head 2 so that the upper end of the lower pressure head 2 abuts against a non-tested tooth on the lower part of the test gear 7. Next, adjust the height of the upper pressure head 1 so that the upper pressure head 1 presses against a tested tooth on the upper part of the test gear 7. Finally, tighten the sliding platform fastening bolt 17 to fix the sliding platform 16 relative to the fixed platform 6, thus completing the gear clamping process. Then, the gear fatigue test can be performed.

[0035] The terminology used in this invention is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since this invention can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the technical solution, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
