Detailed Implementation
[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.
[0028] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0029] This utility model embodiment provides a multi-axis tooling platform for fatigue testing, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the fatigue testing multi-axis tooling platform includes:
[0030] The base platform 100 serves as the loading base for a multi-axis tooling platform for fatigue testing. The base platform 100 is made of a loading plate that can be fixed with bolts. An X-axis assembly 200 and a Y-axis assembly 300 are provided on the base platform 100. The X-axis assembly 200 and the Y-axis assembly 300 generate forces that act on the bushing test piece 700. Here, the direction of the force generated by the X-axis assembly 200 is taken as the first direction, and the direction of the force generated by the Y-axis assembly 300 is taken as the second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0031] The workpiece clamp 600 and the torsion assembly 410 are used to fix the bushing test piece 700. The workpiece clamp 600 is set at the end of the X-axis push rod 250, and the torsion assembly 410 abuts against one end of the fixed bushing test piece 700.
[0032] X-axis assembly 200, which includes a secondary sliding stage 220, a side sliding plate 230, a first lifting sliding seat 240 and an X-axis push rod 250. The X-axis push rod 250 is disposed on the first lifting sliding seat 240, which is connected to the side sliding plate 230. The first lifting sliding seat 240 mainly adjusts the height of the X-axis push rod 250 and the base 100.
[0033] Y-axis assembly 300 includes a Y-axis push rod 340, a Y-axis base 310, and a side guide plate 320 vertically connected to the Y-axis base 310. The Y-axis base 310 is connected to the base platform 100. The Y-axis push rod 340 is disposed on the side guide plate 320. A connecting plate is provided on one side of the secondary sliding table 220, and the Y-axis push rod 340 is connected to the connecting plate.
[0034] The base 100 is also provided with an X-axis base 210, which is provided with a guide rail. The bottom of the secondary sliding stage 220 is provided with a track groove adapted to the guide rail. When the secondary sliding stage 220 slides on the guide rail through the track groove, the X-axis push rod 250 will directly generate a first-direction thrust on the bushing test piece 700; while the Y-axis push rod 340 generates a thrust on the X-axis assembly 200. Under the action of the Y-axis push rod 340, the X-axis assembly 200 will simultaneously generate a second-direction thrust on the bushing test piece 700, so that the outer structure of the bushing test piece 700 is subjected to forces in two directions simultaneously during the test. Here, the forces applied by the X-axis assembly 200 and the Y-axis assembly 300 are reciprocating forces, simulating the reciprocating motion of forces under complex working conditions.
[0035] The base 100 is also provided with a torsion support 420 on the side away from the torsion assembly 410. The torsion support 420 is provided with a support shaft, which abuts against the end face of the fixed bushing test piece 700 away from the torsion assembly 410. Since the torsion support 420 and the torsion assembly 410 abut against the two ends of the bushing test piece 700 respectively, and since the movement of the bushing test piece 700 is restricted, the torsion torque generated by the torsion assembly 410 acts directly on the bushing test piece 700. Therefore, the bushing test piece 700 will also be subjected to torque testing.
[0036] In this application, by integrating the X-axis assembly 200 and the Y-axis assembly 300 with the torsion assembly 410, the bushing test piece 700 can simultaneously perform multi-directional force tests, thereby improving the efficiency of fatigue testing and simulating the complex working conditions of multi-directional forces during automobile movement on multiple axes, thus better understanding the reliability of the product.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the fatigue testing multi-axis tooling platform further includes a fixed base 500, which includes a fixed slide 510, a third lifting slide 520, and a U-shaped clamp 530. The U-shaped clamp 530 is mounted on the third lifting slide 520, and the third lifting slide 520 slides on the fixed slide 510.
[0038] In this embodiment, the middle area of the U-shaped clamp 530 serves as the placement area for the bushing test piece 700, and the X-axis assembly 200 is connected to the bushing test piece 700 via the workpiece clamp 600. (See attached diagram.) Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 The workpiece clamp 600 here uses two components with semi-circular notches to clamp the outer edge of the bushing test piece 700. The workpiece clamp 600 applies force to the bushing test piece 700. Similarly, the torsion assembly 410 is directly connected to the bushing test piece 700 located in the U-shaped clamp 530.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this work, the first lifting sliding seat 240, the second lifting sliding seat 330, and the third lifting sliding seat 520 have the same structure. Taking the first lifting sliding seat 240 as an example, the first lifting sliding seat 240 includes a sliding seat, a lead screw, and an end seat. The end seats are located at both ends of the side sliding plate 230. The lead screw is connected to the end seat via a bearing. The lead screw extends out of the end seat away from the base 100. The sliding seat and the lead screw are connected using ball screw assembly technology. The sliding seat has a slider, and the slider slides on a sliding groove provided on the side sliding plate 230. It should be noted that the slider and the slide rail here use a limiting mechanism, and the slider cannot directly disengage from the opening of the sliding groove.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the torsion assembly 410 includes a torsion base 411, a torsion sliding guide 412, and a torsion motor 413. The torsion motor 413 is mounted on the torsion sliding guide 412, and the torsion sliding guide 412 slides on the torsion base 411. The torsion motor 413 is provided with a torsion shaft, which abuts against the bushing test piece 700. The torsion motor 413 simulates a reciprocating torsion motion through reciprocating rotation, allowing the inner and outer structures of the bushing test piece 700 to bear torsion forces.
[0041] The base 100, on the side away from the torsion assembly 410, is also provided with a torsion support 420. The torsion support 420 includes a support shaft, a support seat connected to the support shaft via bearings, and a sliding table. The support seat slides on the sliding table. The sliding table is driven by adjustment similar to that of the first lifting sliding seat 240, causing the support seat to change position so that the support shaft on the support seat abuts against the end face of the fixed bushing test piece 700 away from the torsion assembly 410. The sliding table and the torsion sliding guide 412 employ the same adjustment principle as the first lifting sliding seat 240, both being common machine tool position adjustment structures in the prior art.
[0042] The support shaft and the torsion shaft are inserted into the U-shaped area from both sides of the U-shaped clamp 530 and abut against the end face of the fixed bushing test piece 700 on the workpiece clamp 600. The U-shaped clamp 530 is provided with shaft holes to accommodate the support shaft and the torsion shaft.

However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the described order of actions, as some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to the present invention.
