Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing testing technology, and in particular to a medical bearing testing fixture. Background Technology
[0002] As a critical component in medical devices, the precision and reliability of medical bearings directly impact the performance and safety of these devices. Accurate testing of the drive torque of medical bearings during the manufacturing process is crucial to ensuring their compliance with standards. Existing technologies have proposed various testing fixtures for medical bearings, aiming to measure torque by fixing the inner and outer rings of the bearing and connecting a torque meter. However, these traditional fixtures still have significant shortcomings in terms of universality, ease of operation, and testing accuracy.
[0003] For example, the existing patent with publication number CN 217384519 U discloses a medical bearing drive torque testing fixture, which uses an outer ring fixing mechanism and an inner ring fixing mechanism on multiple drive platforms to clamp the bearing and connects to an external torque tester through a test shaft. Although this solution improves the adaptability to different bearing specifications through adjustable outer ring fixing plates and outer ring telescopic plates, it still has the following drawbacks: First, the outer ring fixing mechanism relies on multiple independently driven motors to control clamping components in different directions, resulting in a complex adjustment process and difficulty in achieving synchronous alignment, which can easily cause bearing installation eccentricity and affect test accuracy; Second, the inner ring fixing rod relies on a screw with a fixed posture for adjustment, and the ratio of clamping stroke to the radius of the inner ring fixing mechanism is limited (maximum only close to 1:2), so the adaptability to different bearing specifications still needs to be improved.
[0004] Therefore, we designed a medical bearing testing fixture. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a medical bearing testing fixture.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A medical bearing testing fixture includes a support structure and further includes:
[0008] The internal support structure includes a rotating seat, horizontal beams, a drive assembly, a second adjusting screw, and an internal support block. The top surface of the rotating seat is provided with multiple horizontal beams evenly spaced around its circumference and arranged radially. The inner ends of the horizontal beams are correspondingly hinged to the rotating seat. The second adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the horizontal beams. The internal support block is slidably connected to the horizontal beams and threadedly engaged with the second adjusting screw. The drive assembly drives the second adjusting screw to rotate, thereby moving the internal support block to the inner ring of the external support bearing.
[0009] The test shaft, coaxially mounted on the top of the inner support structure, is used to connect an external torque tester to measure the drive torque of the bearing.
[0010] The drive assembly includes a telescopic device and a drive rod. The fixed end of the telescopic device is installed on the support frame on the top of the rotating seat, and its telescopic end is rotatably connected to the horizontal beam through the drive rod. The telescopic device drives the horizontal beam to rotate to adjust the outer diameter of the circle.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotating seat is equipped with a second drive motor, the output shaft of which is connected to a second driving bevel gear, and the inner ends of all the second adjusting screws are equipped with second driven bevel gears that mesh with the second driving bevel gear, so as to realize the synchronous movement of the inner support block;
[0012] The second driven bevel gear is located below the second driving bevel gear to avoid mechanical interference with the second driving bevel gear when the horizontal beam flips.
[0013] Furthermore, the support structure includes a central seat, a plurality of support slide beams evenly spaced around the central seat, a first adjusting screw, and a clamping block. The support slide beams are arranged radially and fixedly connected to the central seat. The first adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the support slide beams. The clamping block is slidably connected to the support slide beams and threadedly engaged with the first adjusting screw. The clamping block is driven to move by rotating the first adjusting screw to clamp the outer ring of the bearing.
[0014] Furthermore, the center seat is equipped with a first drive motor, the output shaft of which is connected to a first active bevel gear. The inner ends of all the first adjusting screws extend into the center seat and are equipped with a first driven bevel gear that meshes with the first active bevel gear, thereby realizing the synchronous centering movement of the clamping block.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the supporting slide beam is provided with a shim to ensure that all supporting slide beams are on the same horizontal plane and to provide installation and maintenance space for the first drive motor.
[0016] Furthermore, the hinge point between the drive rod and the horizontal beam is located at the middle of the horizontal beam.
[0017] Furthermore, the contact surfaces of the clamping block and the inner support block are provided with anti-slip textures to enhance the clamping stability of the bearing.
[0018] Furthermore, the telescopic device is an electric push rod or a cylinder, the stroke of which matches the flip angle of the horizontal beam.
[0019] Furthermore, the number of supporting slide beams and horizontal beams are both 4-6, evenly distributed to achieve symmetrical clamping.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] 1. Adjustable horizontal beam: The horizontal beam can be rotated upward by linking the telescopic device of the drive component with the drive rod, thereby reducing the outer diameter of the outer circle, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of bearings of different sizes, and makes the ratio of the bearing inner ring clamping stroke to the inner support structure radius reach 1:1.2.
[0022] 2. The first drive motor in the center seat drives the bevel gear set, which drives the clamping blocks on all the support slide beams to move radially synchronously, ensuring that the outer ring of the bearing is evenly stressed and strictly aligned. At the same time, the inner ring is fixed by the second drive motor linked to the bevel gear set, which drives all the inner support blocks to synchronously support the inner ring of the bearing. This eliminates the risk of uneven clamping force, ensures the accuracy of torque testing, completely solves the clamping eccentricity problem of existing technology, and avoids test data deviation.

[0031] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1-6 A medical bearing testing fixture includes a support structure 1, an inner support structure 2, and a test shaft 3.
[0032] Combined with appendix Figure 2-3 Support structure 1:
[0033] The center seat 11 is a cylindrical hollow structure, and a first drive motor 15 is fixedly installed at its bottom. The output shaft of the first drive motor 15 extends into the inner cavity of the center seat 11 and is connected to the first drive bevel gear 16.
[0034] There are six supporting slide beams 12, evenly distributed around the center seat 11. Each supporting slide beam 12 is fixed to the radial extension end of the center seat 11 by bolts. The supporting slide beam 12 has a slide rail along its length inside.
[0035] The first adjusting screw 13 is rotatably connected to the slide rail of the supporting slide rail beam 12. One end of the screw extends into the inner cavity of the center seat 11 and is fixed with the first driven bevel gear 17, which meshes with the first driving bevel gear 16.
[0036] The bottom of the clamping block 14 is slidably disposed within the slide rail of the supporting slide beam 12 and is threadedly engaged with the first adjusting screw 13. When the first drive motor 15 is started, the first driving bevel gear 16 drives all the first driven bevel gears 17 to rotate synchronously, driving the clamping block 14 to move radially along the slide rail, thereby achieving synchronous centering and clamping of the outer ring of the bearing.
[0037] The shim block 18 is fixed to the bottom of the support slide beam 12 to ensure that all support slide beams 12 are on the same horizontal plane and to provide installation and maintenance space for the first drive motor 15.
[0038] Combined with appendix Figure 4-6 Internal support structure 2:
[0039] The rotating base 21 is rotatably connected to the top of the central base 11 on the same axis. It is hollow inside and open at the top. The second drive motor 26 is installed inside the rotating base 21, and its output shaft is connected to the second drive bevel gear 27.
[0040] There are four horizontal beams 22, evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating base 21, with their inner ends connected to the top surface of the rotating base 21 via hinges. A slide rail is provided inside each horizontal beam 22, and a second adjusting screw 24 is rotatably connected within the slide rail. One end of the screw has a second driven bevel gear 28, which meshes with a second driving bevel gear 27. The second driven bevel gear 28 is located below the second driving bevel gear 27 to prevent interference when the horizontal beam 22 is rotated.
[0041] The top of the inner support block 25 is slidably disposed within the slide rail of the horizontal beam 22 and is threadedly engaged with the second adjusting screw 24. When the second drive motor 26 is started, the second driving bevel gear 27 drives all the second driven bevel gears 28 to rotate synchronously, driving the inner support block 25 to move radially along the slide rail, thereby achieving synchronous external support for the inner ring of the bearing.
[0042] The drive assembly 23 includes a telescopic device 231 (such as an electric push rod or cylinder) and a drive rod 232. The fixed end of the telescopic device 231 is mounted on the support frame 29, and the telescopic end is hinged to the middle of the horizontal beam 22 via the drive rod 232. By telescopically extending and retracting the telescopic device 231, the horizontal beam 22 is rotated around the hinge, reducing the outer diameter of the outer circle, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of bearings of different sizes.
[0043] This configuration allows the ratio of the clamping stroke of the inner support block 25 to the radius of the inner support structure 2 to reach 1:1.2.
[0044] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Test axis 3:
[0045] Test shaft 3 is coaxially fixed to the top of support frame 29 of inner support structure 2 and connected to external torque tester via coupling. After the inner and outer rings of the bearing are clamped and fixed, the external torque tester drives test shaft 3 to rotate the inner ring of the bearing and measures the driving torque in real time.
[0046] Example 2, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1-3 A medical bearing testing fixture, based on Embodiment 1, is further optimized: the contact surface between the clamping block 14 and the inner support block 25 is set as an arc shape and is provided with anti-slip texture such as cross grid pattern to enhance clamping stability.
[0047] The number of horizontal beams 22 can be adjusted to 6, evenly distributed to improve clamping symmetry.
[0048] It should be noted that there are 4-6 supporting slide beams 12 and 4-6 horizontal beams 22, which are evenly distributed to achieve symmetrical clamping.
[0049] Operating procedures:
[0050] Bearing installation: Start the telescopic device 231 to retract, causing the horizontal beam 22 to flip upward, reducing the outer space of the inner support structure 2, placing the bearing to be tested above the support slide beam 12 of the support structure 1, and start the first drive motor 15 to synchronously move the clamping block 14 to clamp the outer ring of the bearing.
[0051] Inner ring clamping: Start the telescopic device 231 to extend, causing the horizontal beam 22 to flip downward and reset; start the second drive motor 26 to drive the inner support block 25 to synchronously support the outer ring of the bearing to fix the inner ring.
[0052] Torque test: Connect test shaft 3 to an external torque tester, drive the inner ring of the bearing to rotate, and record the torque data.
