[0002] The escalator drive chain fatigue life multi-condition simulator is suitable for escalator manufacturers, quality testing institutions, and research institutions. In these scenarios, the simulator can be used to simulate and test the fatigue life of the escalator drive chain under different operating conditions (such as different loads, speeds, and running times), thereby evaluating the performance and quality of the drive chain. This provides a scientific basis for escalator design optimization, production quality control, and subsequent maintenance, ensuring the safety and reliability of the escalator in actual operation.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have the following problems:
[0004] In the existing technology, escalator drive chain fatigue life testing equipment also faces the problem of difficult installation and disassembly of drive test chains. Because the distance between the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket is fixed or difficult to adjust, it is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive to replace drive test chains of different specifications or lengths, which seriously affects the testing efficiency.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors proposed a multi-condition fatigue life simulator for escalator drive chains. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Example: Figs. 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-condition simulation machine for fatigue life of escalator drive chains, including a base frame 1. A disassembly mechanism 2 is provided on the upper surface of the base frame 1. A drive mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the disassembly mechanism 2, and one side of the drive mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the base frame 1. The disassembly mechanism 2 includes a moving motor 20, one side of which is fixedly connected to one end of the base frame 1. A threaded rod 22 is fixedly provided at the output end of the moving motor 20. A moving frame 23 is threadedly fitted on the outer side of the threaded rod 22. A positioning frame 29 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the moving frame 23. A driven sprocket 28 is rotatably provided at the upper end of the positioning frame 29. A limiting frame 25 is fixedly provided at one end of the base frame 1. The upper end of 25 is rotatably equipped with a drive sprocket 26. One side of the drive sprocket 26 is in contact with the disassembly mechanism 2. The drive test chain 27 is fitted on the outer side of the drive sprocket 26 and the driven sprocket 28. When using the disassembly mechanism 2, the moving motor 20 is started first. The output end of the moving motor 20 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate. Since the moving frame 23 is threaded on the outer side of the threaded rod 22, and the lower end of the positioning frame 29 slides and fits in the moving groove 24 to play a guiding role, the moving frame 23 will move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 22, thereby driving the positioning frame 29 and the driven sprocket 28 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the driven sprocket 28 and the drive sprocket 26. After the distance is adjusted to the appropriate position, the drive test chain 27 is fitted on the outer side of the drive sprocket 26 and the driven sprocket 28 to complete the installation. When it is necessary to disassemble the drive test chain 27, the moving motor 20 is started again to move the driven sprocket 28 away from the drive sprocket 26, increasing the distance between the two, and the drive test chain 27 can be easily removed.
[0018] The drive mechanism 3 includes a fixed frame 30, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the base frame 1. A drive motor 31 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the fixed frame 30. A meshing shaft 34 is engaged on one side of the drive motor 31. Multiple fastening bolts 35 are inserted into the outer side of the meshing shaft 34. A meshing rod 37 is inserted into one end of the meshing shaft 34. One end of the meshing rod 37 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive sprocket 26. When using the drive mechanism 3, the meshing shaft 34 is first engaged with the output end of the drive motor 31 through the meshing groove 36 at one end. At the same time, the meshing teeth 33 on the inner side of the meshing shaft 34 are matched with the corresponding structure of the output end of the drive motor 31 to ensure stable power transmission. Then, the meshing shaft 34 and the drive motor 31 are further fixed by multiple fastening bolts 35. Next, the engagement groove 36 at the other end of the engagement shaft 34 is engaged with the engagement rod 37. Since one end of the engagement rod 37 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive sprocket 26, when the drive motor 31 starts, the power is transmitted to the drive sprocket 26 in sequence through the output end of the drive motor 31, the engagement shaft 34, and the engagement rod 37. The drive sprocket 26 rotates, driving the drive test chain 27 to run, thereby realizing the simulation test of the fatigue life of the escalator drive chain under multiple working conditions.
[0019] A movable mounting bracket 21, fixedly mounted at one end of the base frame 1, is fixedly engaged with the movable motor 20. The movable mounting bracket 21 provides a stable mounting foundation for the movable motor 20, ensuring that the movable motor 20 will not shift due to vibration or other factors during operation, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the movable motor 20, and consequently ensuring the overall operational stability of the disassembly mechanism 2. A movable groove 24 is formed on the upper surface of the base frame 1, the inner side of which slides against the lower end of the positioning frame 29. The movable groove 24 provides guidance for the movement of the positioning frame 29, ensuring that the positioning frame 29 can only move along the direction of the movable groove 24, preventing the positioning frame 29 from shifting during movement, ensuring the accuracy of the driven sprocket 28's movement, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the installation and disassembly of the drive test chain 27 and improving the reliability of the test.
[0020] A drive mounting bracket 32, fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the fixed frame 30, is fixedly engaged with the drive motor 31. The drive mounting bracket 32 provides a stable mounting position for the drive motor 31, allowing the drive motor 31 to be firmly fixed on the fixed frame 30. This reduces vibration and shaking of the drive motor 31 during operation, ensuring its normal operation and the stability of power transmission, thus improving the reliability of the entire drive mechanism 3. Engaging teeth 33, engaged on the inner side of the engagement shaft 34, increase the friction and engagement force between the engagement shaft 34 and the output end of the drive motor 31, making power transmission more efficient and stable. This reduces power loss during transmission, ensuring that the drive sprocket 26 receives sufficient power to drive the test chain 27, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the simulation test. The engagement shaft 34 has engagement grooves 36 at both ends, whose inner sides engage with the engagement rod 37 and the output end of the drive motor 31, respectively. This engagement connection method has a simple structure, is easy to install and disassemble, and can quickly realize the connection and separation between the engagement shaft 34, the output end of the drive motor 31, and the engagement rod 37, thereby improving the assembly and maintenance efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, the engagement connection can ensure the stability of power transmission, reduce power transmission failures caused by loose connections, and improve the reliability and service life of the entire drive mechanism 3.
[0021] Working principle: When using disassembly mechanism 2, first start the moving motor 20. The output end of the moving motor 20 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate. Since the moving frame 23 is threaded on the outside of the threaded rod 22, and the lower end of the positioning frame 29 slides and fits in the moving groove 24 to provide guidance, the moving frame 23 will move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 22, thereby driving the positioning frame 29 and the driven sprocket 28 to move, thus adjusting the distance between the driven sprocket 28 and the drive sprocket 26. After the distance is adjusted to the appropriate position, the drive test chain 27 is fitted on the outside of the drive sprocket 26 and the driven sprocket 28 to complete the installation. When it is necessary to disassemble the drive test chain 27, start the moving motor 20 again to move the driven sprocket 28 away from the drive sprocket 26, increasing the distance between them, and the drive test chain 27 can be easily removed.
[0022] When using the drive mechanism 3, firstly, the engagement shaft 34 is engaged with the output end of the drive motor 31 through the engagement groove 36 at one end. Simultaneously, the engagement teeth 33 on the inner side of the engagement shaft 34 are matched with the corresponding structure at the output end of the drive motor 31 to ensure stable power transmission. Then, multiple fastening bolts 35 are used to further secure the engagement shaft 34 to the drive motor 31. Next, the engagement groove 36 at the other end of the engagement shaft 34 is engaged with the engagement rod 37. Since one end of the engagement rod 37 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive sprocket 26, when the drive motor 31 starts, power is transmitted sequentially through the output end of the drive motor 31, the engagement shaft 34, and the engagement rod 37 to the drive sprocket 26. The drive sprocket 26 rotates, driving the drive test chain 27 to operate, thereby achieving a multi-condition simulation test of the fatigue life of the escalator drive chain.

Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
