Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of wheel hub bearing assembly durability testing equipment, and in particular relates to a wheel hub bearing seal durability testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Wheel bearing assemblies are a very important component in automobiles. During vehicle operation, wheel bearing assemblies are subjected to various internal and external conditions such as temperature, pressure, mud, water, and dust, all of which can lead to wheel bearing assembly failure. Therefore, wheel bearing assemblies need to be tested before leaving the factory. Existing testing equipment can only perform rotational durability tests, and there is currently no equipment that can perform diverse durability tests on wheel assemblies. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to improve upon the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a wheel hub bearing seal durability testing device that can perform durability testing on wheel hub bearing seals for temperature, airtightness, and various application environments, with a simple structure and reliable test results.

The wheel hub bearing seal testing assembly and the equipment drive unit are mounted on the equipment frame, and the external medium spraying device is installed at the wheel hub bearing assembly to be tested in the middle of the equipment frame.
[0005] The aforementioned equipment frame is used to install and support the wheel hub bearing sealing test assembly, the equipment drive unit, and the external media spraying device;
[0006] The aforementioned wheel hub bearing sealing test assembly is used to test the temperature, sealing, and durability of the wheel hub bearing assembly under test during rotation.
[0007] The aforementioned equipment drive device is used to provide power and drive the wheel hub bearing to rotate;
[0008] The external medium spraying device is used to provide the detection medium required for the test, including but not limited to mud, dust, and sand.
[0009] To further achieve the purpose of this utility model, the wheel hub bearing sealing test assembly may include a test shaft, a fixed connection flange, a fixed connection component, a sealing ring one, a drive connection flange, a sealing ring two, a sealing end cover, a sealing ring three, a locking pad, a locking nut, a sensor mounting block, a spring, a temperature sensor, a sealing ring four, a sensor wiring conduit, a heating tube, a pneumatic pipe, and a pneumatic connector. The inner ring of the wheel hub bearing assembly to be tested is fitted onto the rear end of the test shaft and fixed by the locking pad and the locking nut. The front part of the test shaft is fixed to the equipment frame by the fixed connection flange and the fixed connection component. A sealing ring one is provided at the contact point between the fixed connection flange and the fixed connection component.
[0010] The outer ring drive connection flange of the wheel hub bearing assembly under test is connected, and a second sealing ring is provided at the connection. The drive connection flange is used to connect to the equipment drive device.
[0011] The sealing end cap is installed over the center hole of the drive connection flange. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the sealing end cap and the drive flange, so that a cavity is formed between the tail end of the test shaft and the drive flange for loading the lubricating medium required for the wheel hub bearing assembly under test.
[0012] A sensor mounting block is installed inside the shaft on which the inner ring of the wheel hub bearing assembly to be tested is mounted. A spring is inside the sensor mounting block. The spring presses against the temperature sensor so that the temperature sensor is in close contact with the inner wall of the wheel hub bearing assembly to be tested. A sensor wiring tube is provided inside the experimental shaft.
[0013] The experimental shaft is equipped with a heating tube to provide the required temperature for the test;
[0014] The experimental shaft has an air hole at the inner ring of the wheel hub bearing assembly to be tested, which is connected to the inner cavity of the wheel hub bearing assembly. The sealing ring four is used to seal the assembly gap between the experimental shaft and the wheel hub bearing assembly to be tested. One end of the air pressure pipe is connected to the air passage inside the experimental shaft, and the other end is connected to the external air source through the air pressure connector. The air hole of the experimental shaft is connected to the air passage and air pressure pipe inside the experimental shaft.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following significant features and positive effects: In addition to rotational durability testing, this device can simultaneously perform temperature control, air pressure control, and testing in harsh external environments. The temperature control heating tube is installed inside the experimental shaft, which is more energy-efficient than an external heat source. Using a spring to hold the temperature sensor in close contact with the inner wall of the bearing assembly under test ensures that the detected temperature is the actual temperature of the bearing assembly, guaranteeing the accuracy of the experiment and allowing for more sensitive temperature control. An air hole is provided at the inner ring of the bearing assembly under test mounted on the experimental shaft, communicating with the inner cavity of the bearing assembly. This structure occupies little space and can monitor experimental air pressure in real time. Various experimental media such as mud, water, dust, and sand can simulate various harsh environments in real-world use. All of the above ensures the authenticity and effectiveness of the entire experiment. Attached Figure Description
