Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing testing, and in particular to the field of bearing radial clearance testing technology, specifically a tooling for testing the radial clearance of a double-groove bearing. Background Technology
[0002] After the twin groove bearing is assembled, the radial clearance of the bearing needs to be tested. If the radial clearance is too large, the load will be concentrated on a few rolling elements, which will significantly increase the contact stress and accelerate material fatigue. If the radial clearance is too small, it will easily cause friction and temperature rise, which will aggravate the degradation of lubrication performance.
[0003] Patent No. CN101363727A discloses a bearing radial clearance detection device, characterized by including a frame and an electrical control system. A lifting mechanism is installed on the top of the frame. One end of a mandrel used to position the inner ring of the bearing under test is connected to the lifting mechanism. A lower mold device for placing the bearing under test is mounted on the frame below the mandrel. A front spring-loaded mechanism and a rear spring-loaded mechanism for pushing the outer ring of the bearing under test are respectively mounted on the front and rear sides of the frame. A measuring pen that contacts the outer ring of the bearing under test is mounted on the frame via a bracket. Its overall structure is relatively complex and bulky, difficult to maintain, has high maintenance costs, and is not easy to place on the production site.
[0004] Patent CN113532238A discloses a bearing radial clearance detection device, characterized by a base, on which a mounting component for connecting to the bearing mandrel under test is provided. A positioning groove is provided on one side of the mounting component on the base, and a positioning rod is provided in the positioning groove along the height direction. A connecting seat is slidably mounted on the positioning rod along the height direction, and a connecting rod is provided on the connecting seat. A test rod is slidably mounted at the end of the connecting rod, and a dial indicator is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. While its structure is simple and portable, the additional load required for testing is often applied by technicians pushing and pressing the bearing outer ring. Novice technicians cannot accurately control the force applied each time, resulting in low testing accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0045] This utility model proposes a radial clearance detection fixture for double-groove bearings, which is used in bearing inspection processes. This utility model does not limit the type of bearing to be inspected, but the structure of the base 1, the upright plate 2, the torsion spring comparator 4, the bearing set locking module 5, and the measuring module 6 is particularly suitable for radial bearing inspection.
[0046] In general, the radial clearance detection fixture for double-groove bearings proposed in this utility model mainly includes: a base 1, a vertical plate 2, a torsion spring comparator 4, a bearing assembly locking module 5, and a measuring module 6. (See also...) Figure 1 It shows the arrangement of the base 1, the upright plate 2, the torsion spring comparator 4, the bearing set locking module 5, and the measuring module 6.
[0047] The radial clearance testing fixture for double-groove bearings proposed in this utility model requires that the outer diameter of the bearing sleeve groove 511 side of the selected mandrel 51 be the same as the inner diameter of the bearing in the batch to be tested. During installation, first return the wrench 64 to the 0 position, then screw the locking rod 53 into the locking hole 512 of the mandrel 51. Screw the mandrel 51 into the threaded hole in the center of the vertical plate 2 until the protruding part in the middle of the mandrel 51 abuts against the vertical plate 2. Tighten the nut 52 onto the mandrel 51, screw the handle 55 onto the locking rod 53, and finally insert a standard bearing into the bearing sleeve groove 511 side of the mandrel 51. Insert the locking plate 54 onto the locking rod 53, rotate the handle 55 downwards by 15-60°, and tighten the locking nut 514 to limit the test piece by the locking plate 54. Place the torsion spring comparator 4 in the through hole so that the bottom probe of the torsion spring comparator 4 contacts the outer diameter of the test piece. After the instrument pointer is near 0, limit the torsion spring comparator 4 by the nut. Rotate the wrench 64 left and right to change the height of the top head 63 that is against the bottom of the test piece. Read the maximum number of divisions from the instrument 0 and the minimum number of divisions from the instrument 0 on the torsion spring comparator 4 and add them together to obtain the radial clearance of the test piece.
[0048] The aforementioned upright plate 2 is bolted to the center of the top of the base 1. A threaded hole is provided in the center of the upright plate 2. A measuring frame 3 is bolted to the top of the upright plate 2. A through hole is provided on the side of the measuring frame 3 away from the upright plate 2. A torsion spring comparator 4 is bolted through the through hole.
[0049] The aforementioned bearing assembly locking module 5 is threaded through a threaded hole in the center of the vertical plate 2. The bearing assembly locking module 5 includes a spindle 51, a locking hole 512, a nut 52, and a locking rod 53. One side of the spindle 51 has a threaded step 513, which is engaged in the threaded hole. The other side of the threaded step 513 extends through the vertical plate 2 away from the torsion spring comparator 4. A bearing sleeve groove 511 is provided on the side of the spindle 51 closest to the torsion spring comparator 4. A locking hole 512 is formed in the center of the spindle 51, with a threaded section in the center. A nut 52 is threaded onto the side of the threaded step 513 away from the torsion spring comparator 4, with one end of the nut 52 abutting against the vertical plate 2. The locking rod 53 is threaded through the locking hole 512 in the center of the locking rod. A locking plate 54 is fitted onto the side of the torsion spring comparator 4 near the 53 via a clearance fit. The locking plate 54 has an insertion hole in the center, the diameter of which is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the locking rod 53. The locking plate 54 is fitted onto the locking rod 53 through the insertion hole. One end of the locking plate 54 abuts against the end face of the spindle 51 away from the nut 52. A handle 55 is fitted onto the side of the locking rod 53 near the nut 52 via a threaded fit. It should also be noted that the maximum outer diameter of the threaded step 513 on one side of the spindle 51 and the outer diameter of the bearing sleeve groove 511 on the other side are smaller than the outer diameter of the middle section, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the spindle 51. A locking nut 514 is inserted through the center of the top of the spindle 51 near the vertical plate 2. The locking nut 514 enters vertically downward into the locking hole 512 and abuts against the outer wall of the locking rod 53. Tightening the locking nut 514 limits the test piece to be limited by the locking plate 54.
[0050] The aforementioned measuring module 6 is bolted to the top of the base 1, directly below the torsion spring comparator 4. The measuring module 6 includes: a measuring seat 61, a bearing 62, a wrench 64, and a top head 63. The measuring seat 61 is bolted to the top of the base 1, directly below the torsion spring comparator 4. The outer ring of the bearing 62 is interference-fitted onto the top of the measuring seat 61. The inner ring of the bearing 62 is interference-fitted onto the top head 63. The wrench 64 is bolted to the outside of the inner ring of the bearing 62. The top end face of the top head 63 is inclined.
[0051] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
