Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor testing technology, specifically a dial indicator fixing fixture for motor testing. Background Technology

[0002] Motor flanges are key mechanical components connecting motors to driven equipment. They are typically circular or square metal discs with multiple bolt holes. They are bolted to the end of the motor housing and also mate with the input shaft flanges of equipment such as gearboxes, pumps, and fans to achieve torque transmission and axial positioning. Depending on the application, flanges can be categorized into standard, customized, and lightweight types.

[0003] In the motor manufacturing process, the flatness of the flange surface is a key indicator affecting the assembly accuracy and operational stability of the entire machine. Currently, the flatness inspection of motors before they enter the warehouse uses a dial indicator with a magnetic base, which is attached to the outer surface of the motor shaft for measurement. However, since the diameter of motor shafts is generally small, the contact area of ​​the magnetic base is insufficient, resulting in insecure fixation. Displacement or detachment can easily occur during the measurement process. This problem not only reduces the inspection efficiency but also affects the accuracy of the measurement results, which may lead to subsequent assembly defects or operational failures. To address this, we propose a dial indicator fixing fixture for motor inspection. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is the issue of unstable magnetic fixation, where slight vibrations or touches can cause the dial indicator to deviate, requiring repeated adjustments and affecting detection efficiency.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a dial indicator fixing fixture for motor testing, comprising a flange, a motor shaft movably connected to the center of the flange, a circular screw fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor shaft, a first connecting rod fixedly connected to the upper end of the circular screw, a rotating arm assembly movably connected to one end of the first connecting rod, the rotating arm assembly comprising two rotating arms whose rotating ends are connected to each other, a first tensioning handle movably connected to one side of the rotating arm assembly, the first tensioning handle being movably connected to one side of the connection position of the two rotating arms, and a second connecting rod movably connected to the other end of the rotating arm assembly, a snap-fit ​​component fixedly connected to one side of the second connecting rod.

[0007] Preferably, a first internal thread groove is formed on one side surface of the motor shaft, and an external thread is provided at the lower end of the circular screw. The end of the circular screw with the external thread is movably connected to the inside of the first internal thread groove, and the end of the circular screw with the external thread is adapted to the inside of the first internal thread groove.

[0008] Preferably, a second internal thread groove is formed on one side surface of the upper end of the circular screw, a connecting screw is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first connecting rod, the connecting screw and the second internal thread groove are adapted to each other, a closing cover is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first connecting rod, and the closing cover is movably connected to the upper end of the circular screw.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the first connecting rod and one end of the second connecting rod are fixedly connected to a snap-fit ​​ball, and one end of the two rotating arms of the rotating arm assembly is fixedly connected to a snap-fit ​​handle. A universal groove is provided on one side of the snap-fit ​​handle, and the snap-fit ​​ball and the universal groove are mutually adapted to each other.

[0010] Preferably, a positioning slot is provided on one side surface of the snap-fit ​​component, and a positioning block is fixedly connected to one side surface of the flatness detector, wherein the positioning slot and the positioning block are mutually compatible.

[0011] Preferably, a second tensioning handle is movably connected to one side surface of the snap-fit ​​component.

[0012] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model achieves stronger stability and reliability in the overall connection through the connection between the circular screw and the motor shaft, the cooperation between the snap-fit ​​ball and the universal groove, and the connection between the positioning slot and the positioning block. It is unaffected by factors such as vibration, temperature and external magnetic field, ensuring that the dial indicator is always firmly fixed in the designated position during the testing process. This effectively avoids the risk of falling off that may occur with traditional magnetic attraction methods, eliminates measurement errors caused by dial indicator displacement, and ensures the reliability of flange surface flatness data.

[0014] 2. This utility model, through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​ball and the universal groove, achieves the adjustment of the rotating arm assembly angle while ensuring the overall stable placement. This allows the testing equipment to be precisely adjusted and stably fixed according to the actual position of the flange. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​component is connected to the flatness tester through the positioning slot and positioning block. The size of the positioning slot is effectively adjusted using the second tension handle, improving the stability and adjustability of the connection. This ensures that during the testing process, the testing probe is always closely attached to the upper edge of the flange to accurately and continuously collect the flatness data of the flange surface, thus ensuring the stability of the overall testing process and the accuracy of the test results.
