Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a strength testing device for components of sports rehabilitation equipment. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern medicine and sports science, sports rehabilitation equipment is increasingly widely used in treating sports injuries and improving motor function. These devices are primarily used to help patients regain their athletic ability, improve athletic performance, or alleviate pain and discomfort through physical therapy. To ensure the effectiveness of sports rehabilitation equipment and patient safety, the strength of its components is particularly important. Component strength testing not only helps researchers assess its durability and reliability but also ensures that insufficient component strength will not lead to equipment damage during use, thereby preventing safety accidents.
[0003] The strength of components in sports rehabilitation equipment largely relies on simulation calculations; however, these methods have certain limitations. Simulation calculations struggle to fully account for complex usage scenarios and factors such as the weight and movements of different users. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient, accurate, and reliable testing method to better assess the strength of sports rehabilitation equipment components.
[0004] Chinese patent CN117906891A discloses a fatigue testing device for a hanging chair, using a motor, connecting rope, and fixed pulley as a drive device connected to one end of the hanging chair, and an elastic component connected to the other end, to conduct fatigue testing on the up-and-down vibration of the hanging chair. Chinese patent CN221238631U discloses a mechanical device for fatigue testing of a bicycle front fork, fixing the bicycle front fork to a test platform, with one end connected to a drive cylinder push rod arranged perpendicularly thereto, and conducting fatigue testing through the extension and retraction of the cylinder push rod. Chinese patent CN111175034A proposes an automatic fatigue testing device for a mechanical blood pressure gauge cylinder, using a synchronous belt to drive a piston rod, causing the pressure inside the piston cylinder to repeatedly rise and fall, thereby achieving fatigue testing of the blood pressure gauge cylinder. Chinese patent CN118329338A discloses a strength testing device for automotive leaf springs, using a hydraulic rod in direct contact with the automotive leaf spring to achieve load strength testing of the leaf spring.
[0005] None of the above-mentioned devices are suitable for strength testing of components of sports rehabilitation equipment. Therefore, it is of great significance to propose a test device that can perform maximum stress strength testing and fatigue strength testing on components of sports rehabilitation equipment of different shapes and sizes.

[0032] The operating platform includes a frame 206 and a platform 194 and a platform base 160 respectively mounted on the top and bottom surfaces of the frame 206.

Specifically, several sets of mounting holes can be formed on the platform 194 to adjust the mounting position of the L-shaped mounting plate. Each jaw of the four-jaw chuck 26 can move centripetally independently; by adjusting the jaws, parts of different shapes can be clamped. In other embodiments, a three-jaw chuck can also be used.
[0035] The structure of the horizontal clamp 24 can be the same as that of the vertical clamp 61, or it can be a fixed clamp. The fixed clamp can be used to test parts whose stress position remains unchanged.

The two reinforcing blocks 193 are located at the two corners of the U-shaped frame to strengthen the connection between the upright plates 192 and the base plate 190. The two upright plates 192 have identical structures and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate 190, forming the side plates of the U-shaped frame. Each of the two upright plates 192 has two vertically formed elongated holes. The two push rods 63 are fixed to the opposite sides of the two upright plates 192 by screws passing through the elongated holes in the upright plates. The two elastic elements 204 are fixed to the opposite sides of the two push rods 63 to reduce the impact generated when in contact with the measured parts. The push rods 63 can move up and down along the sliding grooves on the upright plates 192 to accommodate measured parts of different sizes. The center of the base plate 190 has a mounting hole for connecting a drive device.

The drive assembly includes a servo motor 1, a motor mounting plate 178, a reducer 2, a torque sensor 9, a bearing housing 161, a bearing 159, and an output shaft 158.

The two ends of the torque sensor 9 are connected to the output end of the reducer 2 and the output shaft 158, respectively. The output shaft 158 is rotatably mounted on the operating table base plate 160 via the bearing housing 161.
[0039] The torque sensor 9 serves as a detection element, enabling the real-time acquisition of the load applied to the component under test, thereby facilitating the detection of the component's maximum stress strength and fatigue strength.
[0040] The transmission assembly includes a slide rail 185, a drive pulley 156, a driven pulley 167, a timing belt 179, a tensioning mechanism 180, a gear plate 181, an output plate 186, and a drive shaft 189. The drive pulley 156 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft 158. The driven pulley 167 is rotatably mounted on the operating platform base plate 160 via a bracket and is synchronously connected to the drive pulley 156 via the timing belt 179. The slide rail 185 is parallel to one side of the timing belt 179. The gear plate 181 and the output plate 186 are fixedly connected to the tight side of the timing belt 179 by screws. The drive shaft 189 is mounted in the middle of the output plate 186, and the other end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the base plate 190 of the push assembly. The other side of the output plate 186 is fixed to the slide rail 185.
[0041] The tensioning mechanism 180 mainly consists of a mounting plate 180, a tensioning wheel 172, a tensioning wheel mounting plate 177, and a tensioning screw 18. The mounting plate 180 is fixedly mounted on the operating platform base plate 160. A vertical elongated hole is formed in the mounting plate 180. The tensioning wheel mounting plate 177 is connected to the mounting plate 180 by a screw passing through the elongated hole. The tensioning wheel 172 is rotatably mounted on the tensioning wheel mounting plate 177 and is in frictional rotational connection with the synchronous belt 179. A fixed plate is connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 180. The tensioning screw 18 spirals through the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to the tensioning wheel mounting plate 177. By tightening the tensioning screw, the tensioning wheel rises vertically, thereby achieving the tensioning of the synchronous belt.
[0042] The working method of this application is as follows:
[0043] The tester mounts the component under test 25 onto the horizontal clamp 25, adjusts the positions of the horizontal clamp and the push rod 63 to make the contact point between the elastic element on the push rod and the component under test 25 coincide as much as possible with the stress point of the component under actual working conditions; the servo motor 1 is started, and the synchronous belt 179 drives the pushing assembly to apply a load to the component under test 25. The real-time stress condition of the component can be obtained through the torque sensor 9. When the pushing assembly moves in one direction, the maximum stress strength of the component can be tested; when the pushing assembly reciprocates, the fatigue strength of the component can be tested.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
