Obviously, the described implementation cases are only a small part of this utility model, not all of them. All other implementation cases obtained by those skilled in the art based on the implementation cases of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] An overspeed switch testing device includes a frame 1, a frequency converter 2, an alarm device box 3, a motor 4, a coupling 5, and an overspeed switch 6. The frame 1 has upper and lower layers. The motor 4 is installed on the lower layer of the frame 1, and the frequency converter 2 and the alarm device box 3 are installed on the upper layer of the frame 1. The overspeed switch 6 is connected and fixed to the output end of the motor 4 via the coupling 5. The input end of the motor 4 is connected to the frequency converter 2, and the overspeed switch 6 is connected to the alarm device box 3.

[0020] The frame 1 also includes a bracket 7, a handle 8, a frame 9, and casters 10. The frame 9 is located on the periphery of the frame 1, the bracket 7 is fixed to the lower layer of the frame 1, the overspeed switch 6 is installed on the bracket 7, the handle 8 is installed on the top two sides of the frame 9, and the casters 10 are installed at the bottom of the frame 9.

[0021] There are four types of brackets 7, whose shape and size match the model of the overspeed switch 6.

[0022] The coupling 5 is a spring-loaded high-torque threaded flexible coupling. There are three types of coupling 5, which are matched with the model of the overspeed switch 6.

[0023] The outer shell of the alarm device box 3 is a prefabricated box, and the interior of the prefabricated box contains a 24V switching power supply, a 24V relay and a 24V buzzer, which are connected in sequence. Example

[0024] Motor 4 is a motor with a rated power of 0.37KW and a rated speed of 2800r / min. It can simultaneously meet the overspeed switch limit setting of 1920r / min for the field bridge and 320r / min for the quay bridge, while also meeting the requirements of being lightweight and easy to carry.

[0025] Inverter 2 is a Delta V800-ST001R5G inverter with a rated power of 1.5KW, which can match the motor model. The inverter comes with a control panel, which is easy to operate and can quickly adjust the motor speed to meet the motor speed adjustment requirements of the testing device.

[0026] Frame 1 is a self-made frame made of 2cm square steel. A custom-made frame was created based on the size of the selected motor and frequency converter. The frame has a stable overall structure and includes mounting bases for the motor and frequency converter, facilitating their installation. A handle is located at the top of the frame for easy transport of the entire testing device.

[0027] Coupling 5 is a spring-loaded high-torque threaded flexible coupling with an inner diameter of 10mm-10mm. The spring-loaded high-torque threaded flexible coupling can compensate for radial, axial and angular misalignments, providing higher compatibility and stability for the installation of overspeed switches.

[0028] The alarm device box 3 uses a prefabricated outer shell, and the internal components include a Phoenix 24V switching power supply, an Omron 24V relay, and an Omron 24V buzzer. The internal structure of the device box is simple, the function is stable, and no further maintenance is required after assembly and installation.

[0029] After the utility model is transported to the site, it is placed on a flat surface and fixed. According to the overspeed switch model, a bracket 7 matching the overspeed switch is selected and fixed to the lower layer of frame 1. The overspeed switch 6 is disassembled from the site, placed on the bracket, and connected to motor 4 via coupling 5. After confirming that the overspeed switch 6 is securely fixed, the on-site maintenance power supply supplies power to the frequency converter 2, and the frequency converter 2 is started. The output frequency of the frequency converter 2 is adjusted through the control panel until the motor 4 speed reaches the set limit value of the overspeed switch 6. The overspeed switch 6 is triggered, and the alarm device box 3 alarms, proving that the overspeed switch 6 protection function has been successfully triggered. The output frequency of the frequency converter 2 is reduced, and the motor 4 speed drops below the set limit value of the overspeed switch 6. The alarm device box 3 stops alarming, proving that the overspeed switch 6 has returned to normal. This completes the protection function test of the overspeed switch 6, confirming that the overspeed switch 6 protection function is normal. The output frequency of the frequency converter 2 is set to 0, the motor 4 stops running, the frequency converter power is disconnected, the overspeed switch 6 is removed and reinstalled in its original position on site, and the overspeed switch function test is completed.

[0031] An embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] The overall dimensions of the testing device are 520×200×390mm (length*width*height), and its weight is 10Kg.

[0033] The frame 1's side panel 9 is made of 20×20×2mm square tubing, made of Q235B material. The bracket 7 is 550×900mm in size, made of 1mm M-shaped steel plate, made of Q235B material. The handle is a rounded handle with a length of 170mm, a hole spacing of 150mm, and a width of 20mm.

[0034] The alarm device box has external dimensions of 200×200×150mm (length*width*height), a detachable top cover, and is made of Q235B steel. The alarm device box consists of an outer shell, a 24V switching power supply, a 24V relay, and a buzzer.

[0035] Depending on the model and size of the overspeed switch, four types of brackets are designed, all made of Q235B steel plate, and fixed to the lower layer of the frame with four M4 bolts.

[0036] This invention determines the performance of the overspeed switch by triggering the set limit value based on the actual rotational speed, effectively fulfilling the inspection and testing requirements of equipment safety protection devices, providing effective technical support for equipment safety protection and equipment fault prevention, and is simple to operate and portable. It can be used to test the protection function of the overspeed switch on-site, effectively solving the drawback that the overspeed switch cannot be tested during the inspection and testing of equipment safety protection devices.
