[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the high-temperature aging test device for O-rings of steering gear includes a chamber 1, a chamber door 2, a temperature control controller 3 and a time control controller 4, and a fixed seat 5 inside the chamber 1, on which a pair of longitudinally arranged columns 12 are provided.
[0026] The fixed base 5 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 6, the lifting mechanism 6 is equipped with a lower support 7, the lower support 7 is equipped with a cylindrical lower fixing head 71, and the head of the lower fixing head 71 is equipped with an annular lower fixing groove 711.
[0027] A horizontally arranged crossbar 11 is provided between the columns 12. A force sensor 10 is provided on the crossbar 11. An upper shaping shaft 9 is provided at the lower part of the force sensor 10. An upper bracket 8 is provided at the lower part of the upper shaping shaft 9. A cylindrical upper fixing head 81 is provided on the upper bracket 8. An annular upper fixing groove 811 is provided at the head of the upper fixing head 81.
[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cross-sections of the lower fixing ring groove 711 and the upper fixing ring groove 811 are V-shaped.
[0029] The following describes the operation of the high-temperature aging test device for the O-ring of the steering gear, including the steps:
[0030] Step S1: Place the O-ring to be tested between the upper fixed ring groove 811 and the lower fixed ring groove 711 to ensure that the O-ring is not subjected to tensile stress. Connect the elongation measurement system and adjust the zero point (i.e., determine the center distance between the two shafts when the elongation of the inner circumference of the O-ring is equal to zero).
[0031] Step S2: Start the tensioning machine 6 and stretch the specimen at a speed of (500±50) mm / min until the O-ring breaks. Record the load and elongation when the specimen breaks.
[0032] Step S3: The following is a high-temperature thermal aging test. Multiple O-rings to be tested are suspended on the upper fixed column head 81, with a spacing of 3cm to 5cm between each sample. The test temperature is set to 120℃, and the test duration is set to 168h.
[0033] Step S4: After the specified time has elapsed, remove the sample from the aging chamber and leave it at laboratory temperature for at least 2 hours. When the O-ring in its natural state is observed under appropriate light with a 2x magnifying glass, the surface of the O-ring should not have cracks, breaks, bubbles, or other defects exceeding the limits in Table 1.
[0034] like Figure 6 The diagram shows another embodiment of the testing equipment of this utility model. In this embodiment, the column 12 is provided with several adjusting through holes 121. By adjusting the through holes 121, the height of the crossbar 11 can be adjusted to accommodate the testing of O-rings of different sizes.
[0035] like Figures 7 to 9 The diagram shows another embodiment of the testing equipment of this utility model. In this embodiment, a pair of annular anti-detachment protrusions S are provided on the side walls of both the lower fixed head 71 and the upper fixed head 81. These anti-detachment protrusions S cooperate with the lower fixed ring groove 711 and the upper fixed ring groove 811. By utilizing the anti-detachment protrusions S, the O-rings can be effectively prevented from falling off the lower fixed head 71 and the upper fixed head 81 during the test, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the test.
[0036] This steering gear O-ring high-temperature aging test device integrates tensile testing and high-temperature aging testing, offering multiple functions in one machine. It can achieve the effect of natural rubber aging in a short time, effectively improving the testing efficiency of O-rings. In addition, the specially designed lower and upper fixing posts can effectively prevent the O-rings from falling off during the test, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers.
[0037] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application.
