Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of performance testing of transmission components for agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to a load-bearing break-in test bench for transmission components of agricultural machinery. Background Technology

[0002] Transmission components for agricultural machinery, as a crucial part of the agricultural machinery transmission system, include tractor drive axles, transfer cases for rice harvesters, and transfer cases for wheat harvesters. These components have complex structures and require high precision in manufacturing. The assembly quality of these transmission components directly affects key performance indicators such as transmission efficiency, operating noise, and service life. Therefore, comprehensive and rigorous performance testing is particularly important during the production process of agricultural machinery transmission components. Furthermore, the wide variety of agricultural machinery, with corresponding agricultural machinery and transmission structures for different crops, necessitates that agricultural machinery transmission component loading and running-in test benches be able to support and load test specimens of various structures.

[0003] Existing agricultural machinery transmission component break-in test benches are relatively limited in function, with each bench only capable of testing one type of transmission product. Their primary function is to complete break-in tests, with limited ability to detect torque and speed at the loading end, making it difficult to meet the needs of comprehensive performance testing of the test components. Furthermore, the automation level for changing test components is generally low, requiring test personnel to spend considerable time and manpower installing and securing the drive axle and adjusting the drive loading module. This not only increases the workload of test personnel but also reduces testing efficiency.

[0004] With the continuous advancement of measurement and control methods and the rapid development of motor technology, modern agricultural machinery transmission component load break-in test benches have the ability to monitor and provide feedback on the operating noise, temperature, and vibration parameters of the test specimen in real time. This real-time monitoring and feedback of these parameters allows test personnel to more accurately understand the performance of the test specimen during the testing process, providing strong support for subsequent performance analysis and optimization.

[0005] Meanwhile, the agricultural machinery transmission component loading and break-in test bench can precisely control the speed and torque of the input end and the left and right loading ends of the test piece, enabling loading tests and differential tests that more closely resemble the actual application conditions of the transmission components. Through these tests, key indicators such as transmission efficiency, noise level, oil temperature changes, and the performance of the differential in the test piece can be comprehensively measured, providing a scientific basis for the performance evaluation and reliability verification of the transmission components.

[0006] In summary, with the continuous development of agricultural machinery transmission system technology and the increasing demands for its application, higher requirements are being placed on the performance and functionality of load-bearing break-in test benches for agricultural machinery transmission components. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a highly automated, fully functional, and precise load-bearing break-in test bench for agricultural machinery transmission components. Utility Model Content

In this embodiment, the test piece is described using a test drive axle 605 as an example. The test involves a load-bearing break-in test of the agricultural machinery drive axle. The drive module 4 and the test drive axle 605 are arranged longitudinally along the centerline of the platform 10. The left loading module 1 is connected to the left side of the test drive axle 605 via a first universal drive shaft 2 and a left output fixture 3.

The right loading module 9 is connected to the right side of the test drive axle 605 via a universal drive shaft 8 and a right output fixture 7.

[0033] The test bench, through its meticulously designed platform structure, systematically integrates the left loading module, right loading module, drive module, and test specimen connection support assembly, forming a highly efficient and stable testing system. The symmetrical arrangement of the left and right loading modules evenly accommodates different loading modes of the test drive axle, including differential speed testing, simulating stress conditions under actual working conditions. If the test specimen is replaced with a rice or wheat harvester, the drive module can be rotated 90 degrees and placed horizontally on the platform. The pulley on the connecting flange 401 is connected to the drive belt of the test specimen (rice or wheat harvester), and the position of the tensioning wheel on the tensioning mechanism 409 is adjusted to tension the drive belt. The test specimen connection support assembly is responsible for clamping and supporting the test drive axle; its structure is robust, its adjustment flexible, and it can adapt to the testing needs of different types of agricultural machinery transmission components. The entire test bench is arranged longitudinally along the platform's centerline, with a compact layout and convenient operation.

Inside the drive module, the support base is securely mounted on the base, providing solid support for the entire module and ensuring test stability. The bearing base precisely supports and fixes the bearings of the rotating components, reducing friction and wear, and improving test efficiency and accuracy. In terms of power transmission, the fourth and fifth couplings connect the drive motor to the torque and speed sensor, and the torque and speed sensor to the drive motor, respectively, ensuring smooth transmission of torque and speed.
