Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0028] exist Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the high-temperature friction and wear testing machine, a friction mechanism mounting frame 13 and a drive mounting frame 2 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the frame 1. A rotating shaft 21 is mounted on the middle of the friction mechanism mounting frame 13, and a friction mechanism is connected to one side through a first linear transmission mechanism. A first transmission shaft 26 and a second transmission shaft 22 are mounted on the drive mounting frame 2. The upper end of the first transmission shaft 26 is connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 21 through a belt transmission mechanism 14. A small gear 24 is provided on the middle of the first transmission shaft 26. A large gear 23 that meshes with the small gear 24 is provided on the lower end of the second transmission shaft 22. The upper end of the second transmission shaft 23 is connected to the friction mechanism through a second linear transmission mechanism. A power mechanism 17 and a controller 15 connected to the lower end of the first transmission shaft 26 are provided at the bottom of the frame 1. The controller 15 controls the power mechanism 17 at regular intervals. The friction mechanism is equipped with a rotating shaft 21 fixedly mounted above the mounting bracket 13. The rotating shaft 21 is located below the sample clamp 10 of the friction mechanism. An electric heating wire 34 is installed inside the rotating shaft 21. A through-hole conductive slip ring 20 is installed on the rotating shaft 21 below the mounting bracket 13. The electric heating wire 34 is connected to the corresponding terminal of the through-hole conductive slip ring 20 through a wire. The through-hole conductive slip ring 20 is connected to the temperature control box 16 through a wire. The through-hole conductive slip ring 20 is used to prevent the wire from getting tangled as the rotating shaft 11 rotates. A temperature sensor 32 is installed on the friction mechanism to collect the temperature of the sample. The temperature sensor 32 converts the collected temperature signal of the sample into an electrical signal and inputs it to the temperature control box 16. The temperature control box 16 displays the sample temperature value in real time and controls the power of the electric heating wire.

[0029] The temperature control box 16 in this embodiment is a product sold by Yuanhuang Electric Technology Co., Ltd., and the through-hole conductive slip ring 20 is a product sold by Shenzhen Senruipu Electromechanical Co., Ltd.

[0030] In this embodiment, a heat insulation plate mounting groove and an annular groove are machined in the middle of the lower surface of the heating turntable 11. The annular groove is located outside the heat insulation plate mounting groove. The electric heating wire 34 is installed in the annular groove. The electric heating wire 34 is used to provide stable heat to the heating turntable 11. A heat insulation plate 12 is provided in the heat insulation plate mounting groove. The heat insulation plate is a mica plate. The outer diameter of the heat insulation plate is the same as the outer diameter of the heating turntable 11.

The heat insulation plate is used to stabilize the temperature of the upper surface of the heating turntable 11 and reduce heat loss, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0031] In this embodiment, the friction mechanism consists of a translation rod 8 connected to the mounting base 5. A weight loading rod 25 is vertically mounted on the upper surface of the end of the translation rod 8 away from the mounting base 5, and a sample clamp 10 with its opening facing downward is mounted at the bottom to hold the sample 33. A temperature sensor is fixedly mounted on the sample clamp 10, and a weight 9 is mounted on the weight loading rod 25.

[0032] The first linear transmission mechanism of this embodiment includes a track 7, a slider 6 that matches the track 7, a spring return device 18, and a limiting block 19. The track 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the friction mechanism mounting bracket 13. A spring return device 18 is installed at one end of the track 7 and a limiting block 19 is installed at the other end. The slider 6 is located inside the track 7 and is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 5 of the friction mechanism.

[0033] In this embodiment, a scale 31 is machined on the edge of the track 7 to accurately read the distance the translation rod moves along the radius of the turntable. The spring return device 18 is used to limit the position of the translation rod 8, prevent the rack 3 from disengaging from the transmission gear 4, and ensure the stability of the test.

[0034] The spring rebounder 18 in this embodiment includes a mounting block, a spring, a push rod, and a nut. The mounting block has a through hole, the push rod has a spring installed and passes through the through hole in the mounting block, and a nut is installed at the end of the push rod. During the reversing process, the slider squeezes the push rod, which will cause the spring to compress and generate a rebound force, causing the slider to move in the opposite direction, ensuring that the rack 3 and the transmission gear 4 re-mesh with the transmission gear 4.

[0035] The belt drive mechanism 14 in this embodiment includes a large synchronous pulley, a small synchronous pulley, and a conveyor belt. The large synchronous pulley has 36 teeth, the small synchronous pulley has 20 teeth, and the transmission ratio between the large and small synchronous pulleys is 1:1.8. The large synchronous pulley is mounted on the upper end of the first drive shaft 26, and the small synchronous pulley is mounted on the lower end of the rotating shaft 21. The rotation of the first drive shaft 26 drives the large synchronous pulley to rotate, and the large synchronous pulley drives the small synchronous pulley to rotate through the conveyor belt. The small synchronous pulley drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate.

[0036] The second linear transmission mechanism in this embodiment includes a rack 3 and a transmission gear 4 meshing with the rack 3. The transmission gear 4 has a module m3 of 1, a number of teeth z3 of 16, and a pitch circle diameter of 50.24 mm. The rack 3 has a module m4 of 1, a number of teeth z4 of 37, and a rack length of 116 mm. The transmission gear 4 is fixed to the upper end of the second transmission shaft, and the rack 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 5 of the friction mechanism.

[0037] The power mechanism 17 in this embodiment includes a motor, a reducer, and a coupling. The power output end of the motor is connected to the power input end of the reducer. The power output end of the reducer is connected to the lower end of the first transmission shaft 26 through the coupling. The power mechanism 17 drives the first transmission shaft 26 to rotate forward or backward. The first transmission shaft 26 drives the heating turntable 11 to rotate forward or backward through the belt transmission mechanism 14. The second transmission shaft 22 is driven to rotate forward or backward synchronously through the meshing of the small gear 24 and the large gear 23. Then, the friction mechanism is driven to reciprocate linearly through the second linear transmission mechanism.

[0038] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is a rectangular mounting plate 27 with four adjustable legs 29 at its four corners. A connecting beam 30 is provided between the middle of two adjacent adjustable legs. Reinforcing plates 28 are installed between the adjustable legs 29, the connecting beam 30, and the mounting plate 27 using threaded fasteners. In different testing locations, the height of two adjustable legs on the same side can be adjusted according to requirements, ensuring the adaptability and versatility of the testing machine.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] In the initial state, the sample clamp 10 fixes the sample 33 at the center of the heating turntable 11, and the slider 6 is located at one end of the track 7 near the limiting block 19. The power system is started by the controller 15, and the motor starts to work, driving the first transmission shaft 26 to rotate through the reducer and coupling. The small gear 24 on the first transmission shaft 26 meshes with the large gear 23 at the lower end of the second transmission shaft 22, driving the second transmission shaft to rotate synchronously.

[0041] Meanwhile, the rotation of the first drive shaft 26 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 21 through the belt drive mechanism 14 via the large synchronous pulley, the small synchronous pulley and the conveyor belt, causing the heating turntable 11 to rotate.

[0042] A transmission gear fixed at the upper end of the second transmission shaft 22 meshes with a rack 3 fixed on the friction mechanism mounting base 5, enabling the friction mechanism to move linearly along the guide rail. As the heating turntable 11 rotates and the friction mechanism moves laterally, the sample 33 moves from the center of the heating turntable 11 to the edge. When the slider 6 of the friction mechanism compresses the spring return mechanism 18 to its limit, the transmission gear 4 briefly disengages from the rack 3. At this time, the controller 15 controls the motor to reverse, using the rebound force generated by the spring return mechanism 18 to make the slider 6 slide towards the limit block 19, re-engaging with the transmission gear 4, thus achieving reverse sliding of the friction mechanism, i.e., the sample 33 moves laterally in the opposite direction. Due to the motor reversal, the entire system operates in the opposite direction until the sample 33 returns to the center position of the heating turntable 11, completing a single high-temperature friction and wear test stroke. During the sample's reciprocating motion, the temperature sensor 32 collects the sample's temperature in real time.
