[0002] In the manufacturing process of drive shafts, the no-load running-in test is a crucial step in verifying the drive shaft's performance. Traditionally, during the no-load running-in test of the BHJ150 / BHJ180 drive shaft, the drive shaft flange is installed onto the machine tool spindle connecting plate and tailstock connecting plate. During this process, workers must hold the drive shaft, continuously bending over to locate the bolt holes on the machine tool spindle connecting plate and tailstock connecting plate, and tighten six bolts at both ends for fixation. This installation method has many drawbacks, such as being cumbersome, time-consuming, having a large number of screws leading to low installation efficiency, and the repeated removal and removal of screws easily causing wear and damage to the flange end face, affecting the stability and reliability of the installation, and consequently impacting the efficiency and accuracy of the drive shaft running-in test. The frequent bending and holding movements also result in extremely high labor intensity for workers, easily leading to fatigue and injury over long periods. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a quick-change tooling that simplifies the installation process, improves installation efficiency, and reduces labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, in this utility model, a quick-change fixture for a drive shaft no-load running-in test has a supporting half-ring 2 fitted to the front of the flange 1. A first circular hole 3 is provided inside the supporting half-ring 2, and a first threaded hole 4 is provided inside the flange 1. Fixing bolts 5 are fitted to the inner wall of the first circular hole 3 on the front of the supporting half-ring 2. The surfaces of the fixing bolts 5 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first threaded hole 4. A first U-shaped plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting half-ring 2. Second threaded holes 7 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the first U-shaped plate 6.

The inner wall of the second circular hole 13 and the upper surface of the locking block 12 are fitted with locking bolts 14. The surface of the locking bolts 14 is threaded with nuts 15. The bottom of the nuts 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting half ring 2. The bottom of the supporting half ring 2 has a positioning groove 22. The inner wall of the positioning groove 22 is fitted with a positioning block 23. The back of the positioning block 23 is fixedly connected to the front of the flange 1. The center of the flange 1 has a fourth circular hole 25 that matches the shape of the drive shaft flange. The flange 1 also has a fifth circular hole 26 for connecting the flange 1 to the spindle of the machine tool. The supporting half ring 2 has a first groove 27 that matches the shape of the drive shaft flange. The clamping half ring 11 has a second groove 28 that matches the shape of the drive shaft flange.
[0027] The center of the supporting half-ring 2 and the center of the clamping half-ring 11 are both aligned with the axis of the flange 1. The first U-shaped plate 6 is located to the right of the center of the supporting half-ring 2, and the nut 15 is located to the left of the center of the supporting half-ring 2.
[0028] It should be noted that the tooling can be directly fixed to the machine tool spindle with bolts through the fifth circular hole 26 of the flange 1. The support half ring 2 can be fixed to the flange 1 through the cooperation of the first circular hole 3, the first threaded hole 4 and the fixing bolt 5. When installing the support half ring 2, the first circular hole 3 and the first threaded hole 4 can be aligned by contacting the positioning block 23 with the positioning groove 22. The cylinder 9 can be fixed in the first U-shaped plate 6 through the cooperation of the connecting bolt 8 and the second threaded hole 7. The clamping half ring 11 can rotate around the axis of the cylinder 9 through the ear plate 10, the cylinder 9 and the connecting bolt 8. After the drive shaft flange is placed between the first groove 27 of the support half ring 2 and the second groove 28 of the clamping half ring 11, the clamping of the drive shaft flange can be quickly completed by tightening the locking bolt 14 in the locking block 12 into the nut 15. At the same time, when the locking bolt 14 is separated from the nut 15, the drive shaft flange can be directly separated from the tooling.
[0029] A second U-shaped plate 16 is fixedly connected to the front of both the supporting half-ring 2 and the pressing half-ring 11. A sliding column 17 is fitted to the inner wall of the second U-shaped plate 16, the front of the supporting half-ring 2, and the front of the pressing half-ring 11. A pressing block 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding column 17. A third threaded hole 19 is opened inside the sliding column 17. A third circular hole 20 is opened on the front of the second U-shaped plate 16. A positioning bolt 21 is fitted to the inner wall of the third circular hole 20 and the front of the second U-shaped plate 16. The surface of the positioning bolt 21 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the third threaded hole 19. The axes of the sliding columns 17 on the supporting half-ring 2 are distributed at 30 degrees, and the axes of the sliding columns 17 on the pressing half-ring 11 are distributed at 30 degrees. The end of the pressing block 18 has an arc-shaped structure.
[0030] The inner wall of the first groove 27 supporting the semi-ring 2, the inner wall of the second groove 28 pressing the semi-ring 11, and the end of the pressing block 18 are all coated with a nylon coating 24. The nylon coating 24 is made of MC nylon material and has a thickness of 5mm.
[0031] It should be noted that by setting a third threaded hole 19 on the slide column 17, and distributing the three third threaded holes 19 along the length of the slide column 17 with the axis of the slide column 17 as the reference, the distance between the clamping block 18 and the axis of the flange 1 can be changed by screwing the positioning bolt 21 into the third threaded hole 19 at different positions. By changing the distance between the clamping block 18 and the axis of the flange 1, the tooling can clamp three different sizes of drive shafts, thereby increasing the range of applications of the tooling.
[0032] By applying a nylon coating 24 to the supporting half-ring 2 and the clamping half-ring 11, the frictional force between the supporting half-ring 2, the clamping half-ring 11 and the drive shaft flange can be increased when the supporting half-ring 2 and the clamping half-ring 11 clamp the drive shaft flange, and the drive shaft flange can be fixed more firmly. At the same time, by applying a nylon coating 24 to the clamping block 18, the frictional force between the clamping block 18 and the drive shaft flange can be increased when the clamping block 18 clamps the drive shaft flange, and the drive shaft flange can be fixed more firmly.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the fixture is fixed on the spindle of the machine tool through the fifth circular hole 26 of the flange 1 and the bolts. Then, the drive shaft flange is fixed on the spindle of the machine tool through the fixture. When the diameter of the drive shaft flange and the diameter formed by the first groove 27 of the supporting half ring 2 and the second groove 28 of the clamping half ring 11 are equal, the drive shaft flange is first placed on the inner wall of the first groove 27 of the supporting half ring 2. Then, by rotating the clamping half ring 11, the inner wall of the second groove 28 of the clamping half ring 11 is made to fit with the surface of the drive shaft flange. Then, the locking bolt 14 is inserted into the second circular hole 13 and tightened into the nut 15. At this time, through the cooperation of the locking bolt 14, the nut 15 and the locking block 12, the supporting half ring 2 and the clamping half ring 11 clamp the drive shaft flange, and the drive shaft flange is fixed on the spindle of the machine tool through the fixture.
[0034] When the diameter of the drive shaft flange is smaller than the diameter formed by the first groove 27 of the supporting half ring 2 and the second groove 28 of the clamping half ring 11, first unscrew the positioning bolt 21 from the third threaded hole 19. Then, move the sliding column 17 according to the diameter of the drive shaft flange. When the corresponding third threaded hole 19 is aligned with the third circular hole 20, screw the positioning bolt 21 back into the third threaded hole 19. At this time, the distance between the clamping block 18 and the axis of the flange 1 can be changed according to the diameter of the drive shaft flange. Then, place the drive shaft flange on the clamping block 18 on the supporting half ring 2, and rotate the clamping half ring 11 to make the clamping block 18 on the clamping half ring 11 contact the drive shaft flange. Then, insert the locking bolt 14 into the second circular hole 13 and screw the locking bolt 14 into the nut 15. At this time, through the cooperation of the locking bolt 14, the nut 15 and the locking block 12, the clamping block 18 clamps the drive shaft flange, and the drive shaft flange is fixed on the spindle of the machine tool by this tooling.
[0035] After the drive shaft test is completed, the drive shaft flange can be separated from the tooling by unscrewing the locking bolt 14 from the nut 15.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
