[0030] The working principle of the low-temperature test chamber provided by this utility model is as follows: First, open the baffle 9 and attach the ball cage to be tested to the upper end of the rotating tube 52. Start the electric telescopic rod 81 of the extrusion assembly 8 to push the support rod 83 and the extrusion cone 84 on the fixed plate 82 to rise. The inclined surface of the cone forces the four sliding rods 71 in the rotating tube 52 to slide outward, driving the arc-shaped anti-slip plate 72 to press tightly against the inner ring of the ball cage. The spring 73 is compressed to provide continuous clamping force. Since the outer ring of the ball cage is heavy and not actively fixed, only the inner ring rotates synchronously with the rotating tube 52 during the test. The outer ring remains stationary due to its own weight and the contact friction with the placement plate 51, accurately simulating the relative motion state of the inner and outer rings of the ball cage under low-temperature conditions. Before the test, the condenser 3 is connected to the external refrigeration system through the connecting flange ring 4 to circulate the low-temperature medium to quickly reduce the internal temperature of the chamber 1. The temperature sensor 2 monitors the internal temperature of the chamber 1 in real time and feeds it back to the external PLC controller, dynamically... Adjust the cooling output to ensure that the temperature inside chamber 1 is uniform and stable at the set threshold. During the test, the motor 61 is started by the external PLC controller. The sprocket 62 is linked by the second chain 64 to the second sprocket ring 65 of the five rotating tubes 52 on the front side, driving the rotating tubes 52 to rotate. The first sprocket ring 53 at the bottom of each row of rotating tubes 52 drives the three rotating tubes 52 in the same row to rotate synchronously through the first chain 54, realizing the independent and coordinated drive of the inner rings of the five rows of fifteen ball cages. The inner rings of the ball cages continue to rotate at low temperature. At this time, the appearance phenomena such as frost on the outer ring and grease migration are observed through the transparent plate 12. Combined with the temperature change curve of the temperature sensor 2, the low temperature dynamic performance of the ball cage is comprehensively evaluated. After the test is completed, the electric telescopic rod 81 retracts, the pressing cone 84 is disengaged from the slide rod 71, the spring 73 rebounds and the arc-shaped anti-slip plate 72 is reset, the inner rings of the ball cage are released from fixation, and the operator can open the baffle 9 through the handle 10 to remove all the test ball cages in batches, ready for the next round of testing.
[0031] It is worth noting that the external PLC controller disclosed in the above embodiments is specifically a Siemens S7-200, the motor 61 can be a 1LE0003 three-phase asynchronous motor, the electric telescopic pole 81 can be a TGC-A high-thrust electric telescopic pole, and the temperature sensor 2 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The external PLC controller controls the operation of the motor 61 and the electric telescopic pole 81 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
