Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of chains, and in particular to a lateral force loading device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there is a lack of verification methods for lubrication chains. OEMs mainly rely on OEM platforms for installation verification, while suppliers generally lack bench testing capabilities. This results in significant differences in the lifespan of lubrication chains, and the sealing components used are also varied. In most cases, aftermarket chains rely on market verification, which carries a high risk. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, one of the objectives of this application is to provide a lateral force loading device, which has the advantage of being able to apply lateral force to the rotation test of the lubrication chain.

[0004] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A lateral force loading device includes a bracket, on which a pressure device and a rotating plate are mounted. The rotating plate and the bracket are rotatably connected. The pressure device includes a contact rod, a pressure element, and a compression element. The pressure element is located between the contact rod and the compression element, and the three elements are in contact in sequence. The pressure element is used to detect the pressure borne by the contact rod. The rotation axis of the rotating plate is perpendicular to the axis of the contact rod.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the presence of the contact rod, pressure component, and compression component arranged in sequence ensures that the chain contacts the rotating plate during chain rotation. The rotating plate rotates after being subjected to force, which in turn applies force to the contact rod. The contact rod then applies force to the pressure component and compression component, changing the contact position between the chain and the rotating plate during chain rotation. Under the same deformation of the compression component, different rebound forces are provided, thereby increasing an appropriate lateral force on the rotating chain.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that: the compression member includes a sleeve, the sleeve is mounted on the bracket, the sleeve is provided with an elastic element, and one end of the pressure member extends into the sleeve and abuts against the elastic element.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the sleeve can protect the elastic element and reduce the probability of damage to the elastic element.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that the pressure element includes a sliding seat and a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor being mounted on the sliding seat and in contact with one end of the contact rod, and the sliding seat extending into the sleeve and in contact with the elastic element.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding seat can support the pressure sensor during use.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured such that: the sliding seat is provided with a mounting groove, and the pressure sensor is located in the mounting groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the existence of the mounting groove makes it easier to connect the pressure sensor to the sliding seat.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that: the bracket is also provided with an abutment, one end of the abutment is in contact with the bracket and the other end is in contact with the rotating plate, so that the rotating plate is always in contact with the contact rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the abutment component can reduce the probability of the rotating plate and the contact rod separating.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured such that the contact rod and the rotating plate are in point contact or line contact.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, point contact or line contact can effectively reduce friction when the rotating plate applies pressure to the contact rod.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that the bracket has a through hole for the contact rod to pass through, and the contact rod is slidably connected to the bracket through the through hole.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, it is more convenient to adjust the pressure or compression components during use. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The present application discloses a lateral force loading device, which includes a bracket 1, a pressure device 3 and a rotating plate 2 on the bracket 1, the rotating plate 2 and the bracket 1 being rotatably connected, the pressure device 3 including a contact rod 31, a pressure member 32 and a compression member 33, the bracket having a through hole 12 for the contact rod 31 to pass through, and the contact rod 31 being slidably connected to the bracket through the through hole 12.

[0024] One end of the contact rod 31 contacts the rotating plate 2. The contact between the two is either point contact or line contact. In this embodiment, the end of the contact rod 31 that contacts the rotating plate 2 is arc-shaped. The other end of the contact rod 31 contacts the pressure member 32, which is located between the contact rod 31 and the compression member 33. The rotation axis of the rotating plate 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the contact rod 31.

[0025] The compression member 33 includes a sleeve 331, which is mounted on the bracket 1. An elastic member 332 is provided inside the sleeve 331. One end of the pressure member 32 extends into the sleeve 331 and abuts against the elastic member 332. In this embodiment, the elastic member 332 is composed of multiple disc springs.

[0026] The pressure component 32 includes a sliding seat 321 and a pressure sensor 322. The sliding seat 321 is provided with a mounting groove 323. The pressure sensor 322 is installed in the mounting groove 323 and is in contact with one end of the contact rod 31. The sliding seat 321 extends into the sleeve 331 and is in contact with the elastic component 332.

[0027] The bracket 1 is also provided with an abutment 11. One end of the abutment 11 contacts the bracket 1, and the other end contacts the rotating plate 2, so that the rotating plate 2 is always in contact with the contact rod 31. In this embodiment, the abutment 11 is a tension spring, and the end of the abutment 11 connected to the rotating plate 2 is the end of the rotating plate 2 away from the hinged end of the rotating plate 2 and the bracket 1.

[0028] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the chain will come into contact with the rotating plate 2 during rotation. The rotating plate 2 will rotate, causing it to generate a force toward the contact rod 31, which in turn causes the contact rod 31 to move. The contact rod 31 exerts pressure on the pressure sensor 322 and the disc spring, causing the disc spring to deform and generate a lateral load. After the chain rotates, the disc spring returns to its original position, pushing the upright plate back to its original position. This changes the contact position between the chain and the rotating plate 2 during rotation, resulting in different rebound forces provided under the same deformation of the disc spring.

[0029] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
