When more comprehensive testing is required, multiple test benches need to be purchased to meet the measurement needs, resulting in high procurement costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a test structure for the output shaft of a speed reducer to solve the problem of the single function of the test device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a test structure for a speed reducer output shaft, including a mounting base. A speed reducer body is mounted on the mounting base.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a test structure for a speed reducer output shaft includes a mounting base 1, on which a speed reducer body 14 is mounted. The conveying end of the speed reducer body 14 is connected to a motor 12 via a first sensor 13. The output end of the speed reducer body 14 has an output shaft 16. A first gear 2 is sleeved on the outer side of the output shaft 16 via a bushing 3. A second gear 6 is meshed and driven on one side of the first gear 2. The second gear 6 is coaxially connected to a connecting shaft 7 rotatably connected to the mounting base 1. Deep groove ball bearings 9 are mounted on both sides of the second gear 6 and are sleeved on the connecting shaft 7. The connecting shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1 via the deep groove ball bearings 9. A second sensor 17 and a loader 18 are sequentially connected to the end of the connecting shaft 7. The loader 18 applies a load to the output shaft 16 of the speed reducer body 14 to simulate the stress conditions during actual operation, in order to test the performance of the output shaft 16 under different load conditions.

[0022] This experimental structure provides power to the reducer body 14 via motor 12. A first sensor 13 detects the speed, torque, and power of the input shaft 15 of the reducer body 14 and transmits this data to a controller connected to the first sensor 13. A second sensor 17 detects the speed, torque, and power of the output shaft 16 of the reducer body 14 and transmits this data to a controller connected to the second sensor 17. The controller analyzes and calculates the data, and a loader 18 simulates different load conditions experienced by the reducer body 14 during actual operation, thereby evaluating the performance of the reducer body 14. The torque performance of the output shaft 16 of the reducer body 14 is tested. A radial force is applied to the output shaft 16 of the reducer body 14 through the loader 18. The magnitude of the radial force applied to the output shaft 16 can be precisely controlled to simulate the radial load borne by the output shaft 16 in actual operation. For example, in the static loading test, the radial force is gradually increased and the deformation of the output shaft 16 is observed until the set limit load is reached or obvious plastic deformation occurs, thereby determining the load-bearing capacity of the output shaft 16. In the dynamic loading test, the alternating radial force in actual operation is simulated to study the fatigue performance of the output shaft 16 under long-term cyclic load.

[0023] This test structure adds a first gear 2 and a second gear 6, which is connected to the first gear 2, to the output end of the reducer torque test. The first gear 2 and the second gear 6 meet the gear module requirements for bearing the maximum radial force. In this way, the test structure can test the torque of the reducer body 14, and at the same time, it can also test the radial force that the reducer body 14 can withstand under the output torque loading. It can perform the output torque test of the reducer and the radial force test of the output shaft 16 of the reducer. The two tests can be completed on the same test mechanism. It has the functions of testing the torque and the radial force of the reducer, and can reflect the life test of the reducer under actual use conditions in a relatively complete way.

[0024] The mounting base 1 is used to fix the reducer body 14, the output shaft 16 and the connecting shaft 7 that is connected to the output shaft 16, to ensure the stability and safety of the equipment during the test and to maintain stability during the test.

[0025] The second sensor 17 measures the magnitude of the loading force in real time and feeds it back to the controller to achieve closed-loop control and ensure the accuracy and stability of the loading force.

[0026] The motor 12, mounting base 1, and loader 18 are all mounted on the base, which helps to improve the stability and safety of the equipment during the test.

[0027] The conveying end of the reducer body 14 is provided with an input shaft 15. Input couplings are provided on both sides of the first sensor 13. The two input couplings are respectively located between the input shaft 15 and the first sensor 13 and between the first sensor 13 and the motor 12. The input couplings connect the motor 12 and the input shaft 15 of the reducer body 14, which can simulate the actual connection between the motor 12 and the reducer body 14, and at the same time makes it easier to replace the motor 12. The motor 12 provides power to the reducer body 14. The first sensor 13 detects the speed, torque and power of the power input shaft 15 of the reducer body 14. The motor 12 and the input couplings provide power to the output shaft 16, so that the output shaft 16 rotates according to the set speed and torque.

[0028] The second sensor 17 is provided with output couplings at both ends, and the two output couplings are respectively provided between the connecting shaft 7 and the second sensor 17 and between the second sensor 17 and the loader 18.

[0029] Both the first sensor 13 and the second sensor 17 can be torque sensors, speed sensors, displacement sensors, etc., used to accurately measure parameters such as torque, speed, and axial displacement of the output shaft 16 in order to evaluate the performance and working status of the output shaft 16.

[0030] A shaft washer 4 is provided at the end of the output shaft 16 away from the reducer body 14. The outer diameter of the shaft washer 4 is not less than the outer diameter of the bushing 3. The shaft washer 4 is fixed to the end of the output shaft 16 by a screw 5. The screw 5 is an internal hexagonal head screw, which improves the stability of the first gear 2 assembled on the output shaft 16.

[0031] The bushing 3 has an assembly groove on its outer side that mates with the first gear 2.

[0032] Both ends of the second gear 6 connected to the connecting shaft 7 are provided with shaft retaining rings 8. The shaft retaining rings 8 are sleeved on the connecting shaft 7. The shaft retaining rings are designed to be used on the groove shaft on the connecting shaft 7 to restrict the axial movement of the second gear 6, prevent the second gear 6 from generating unnecessary axial movement, and ensure stable operation of the equipment.

[0033] The deep groove ball bearing 9 is connected to the mounting base 1 on the side away from the connecting shaft 7 with a perforated elastic retaining ring 11. The deep groove ball bearing 9 is connected to the connecting shaft 7 on the side away from the second gear 6 with a bearing retaining ring 10. The bearing retaining ring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 7 to prevent unnecessary axial movement of the deep groove ball bearing 9 and ensure stable operation of the equipment.

[0034] The loader 18 can be a magnetic powder brake or a hydraulic brake, etc. The loader 18, such as a magnetic powder brake or a hydraulic brake, applies a load to the output shaft 16 to simulate the stress situation in actual operation, so as to test the performance of the output shaft 16 under different load conditions. By using the loader 18, the magnitude of the radial force applied to the output shaft 16 can be precisely controlled. For example, when the loader 18 is a hydraulic brake, the radial force is generated by liquid pressure through components such as oil pumps and oil cylinders. The loading force can be precisely adjusted by adjusting the oil pressure.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
