Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical component life testing technology, specifically to a roller life testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many mechanical devices require the installation of rollers, which can serve as a component of the transmission system or for other purposes. The rotational performance of these rollers in mechanical equipment often directly affects the transmission efficiency and stability of the transmission system, or has other impacts on the performance of the mechanical equipment. Therefore, these rollers need to undergo mechanical performance testing and life parameter testing before leaving the factory.

[0003] Among them, the roller life parameter test is carried out using a roller life testing machine. However, most existing roller life testing machines apply pressure by using levers to load weights. For example, Chinese patent document CN 206208681 U discloses a roller life testing machine, which includes a lower base and an upper support; multiple lever arms are arranged in parallel on the upper support, one end of which is connected to a lever arm support fixed on the upper support, and the other end is connected to a weight device; each lever arm is connected to a roller suspension device, and a weighing sensor is installed on the roller; each lever arm is connected to an adjustment device; the drive device includes a motor, a main shaft connected to the motor, and multiple guide wheels sleeved on the main shaft and cooperating with the rollers.

[0004] However, the operation of moving and fixing weights in the above-mentioned patents is cumbersome and can easily cause workplace injuries; in addition, the force value controlled by adding or removing weights is unstable and it is difficult to accurately achieve the required force value. Excessive force value can easily cause the turntable to contact the support, resulting in damage to the turntable, and the equipment failure cannot be monitored and diagnosed in a timely and effective manner. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a roller life testing machine. This roller life testing machine employs a specific structure capable of stepless pressurization of the roller. During pressurization, a pressure sensor displays the pressure in real time on the controller's screen, achieving precise pressure control. Furthermore, the adjustment of the load pressure is simple and quick, and it is less likely to cause workplace injuries.

[0006] The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0007] A roller life testing machine includes a base truss, a load applying assembly, a drive assembly, and a pressure releasing and unloading assembly. A lever arm is mounted on the base truss, with one end hinged to the base truss and the other end connected to the pressure releasing and unloading assembly. The pressure releasing and unloading assembly drives the lever arm to rotate up and down around the hinge axis. The drive assembly includes an A drive motor and a guide wheel that cooperates with the roller; the A drive motor drives the guide wheel to rotate. The load applying assembly includes a roller clamping mechanism, a pressure applying mechanism, a pressure sensor, and a mounting box. The mounting box is used to mount the roller clamping mechanism, the pressure applying mechanism, and the pressure sensor, and is detachably connected to the lever arm. The pressure applying mechanism applies pressure to the roller clamping mechanism, causing the roller clamped by the roller clamping mechanism to abut against the guide wheel to form a rolling friction pair. The pressure sensor is located between the roller clamping mechanism and the pressure applying mechanism. A controller is mounted on the lever arm, and the pressure sensor is signal-connected to the controller.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the roller life testing machine of this application applies pressure (load) to the roller clamping mechanism through a pressure applying mechanism to simulate the real working conditions of the roller, which can effectively measure the service life of the roller. During the pressurization process, the pressure sensor displays the pressure in real time on the controller's display screen to achieve precise pressure control. When it is necessary to unload the material, the lever arm is driven to rise through the pressure relief unloading component, so that the roller is disengaged from the guide wheel and can be removed. The operation is simple and quick and is less likely to cause workplace injuries.

[0009] As an optimization, in the aforementioned roller life testing machine, the load application component, guide roller, pressure relief and unloading component, lever arm, and controller constitute a roller life testing module. Multiple roller life testing modules are evenly distributed on the base truss. This structure enables the simultaneous life testing of multiple rollers, improving testing efficiency; and facilitates synchronous comparative testing of the rollers.

[0010] As an optimization, in the aforementioned roller life testing machine, the pressure relief and unloading assembly includes a B-drive motor and a screw jack. The end of the screw jack's extension shaft is equipped with a limiting member, and the lever arm has a connecting boss with a slotted hole. The limiting member and the slotted hole form a sliding pair structure. This structure allows the screw jack to move up and down via the B-drive motor, and the lever arm to rotate up and down around the hinge axis via the sliding hinge structure of the limiting member and the slotted hole, facilitating pressure relief and unloading operations. Furthermore, a reducer is provided between the B-drive motor and the screw jack. This structure reduces the input speed and increases the output torque, facilitating smooth lifting of the lever arm.

[0011] As an optimization, in the aforementioned roller life testing machine, the load application assembly further includes a spring mechanism, which is located between the pressure sensor and the application mechanism. The spring mechanism includes a fixed plate, a guide post, a movable plate, and a spring. The fixed plate and the movable plate are connected via the guide post, and the movable plate and the guide post can slide relative to each other. The spring is located between the fixed plate and the movable plate, with both ends abutting against the fixed plate and the movable plate respectively. The fixed plate is connected to the pressure sensor, and the movable plate is connected to the application mechanism. With this structure, the spring buffers the applied pressure, the application stroke is lengthened, allowing the application mechanism to apply pressure to the roller clamping mechanism more precisely; and it avoids damage to the pressure sensor caused by rigid pressure.

[0012] As an optimization, in the aforementioned roller life testing machine, the roller clamping mechanism includes a clamping body, a roller mounting shaft, and a roller mounting block. The clamping body has a Y-shaped structure, with a semi-circular groove at its head. The roller mounting block has a semi-circular groove, and the semi-circular groove and groove combine to form the mounting hole for the roller mounting shaft. The Y-shaped structure ensures the roller is positioned precisely at the Y-shaped groove, resulting in a compact structure and material savings. The separate design of the roller mounting block and clamping body facilitates roller replacement and installation, and the simple structure reduces processing effort.

[0013] As an optimization, in the aforementioned roller life testing machine, the pressure application mechanism includes a lead screw A and a handwheel; one end of the lead screw A abuts against the movable plate of the spring mechanism, and the other end extends out of the mounting box and connects to the handwheel. This structure, using the handwheel and lead screw A to apply pressure, is simple in structure and relatively convenient to operate.

[0014] When implementing this utility model, an electric loading method can also be used. As an optimization, in the aforementioned roller life testing machine, the pressure application mechanism includes a C-drive motor and a B-lead screw; one end of the B-lead screw is screwed to the movable plate of the spring mechanism, and the other end extends out of the mounting box and connects to the C-drive motor. Using this structure, pressure is applied electrically, making operation simple and quick. Furthermore, the C-drive motor is a servo motor. Using a servo motor as the drive structure facilitates control of the applied pressure and is beneficial for precise pressure application.

[0015] As an optimization, the aforementioned roller life testing machine is equipped with an emergency stop button on the base truss. This structure enables the equipment to be stopped promptly in case of emergencies, improving equipment safety. Attached Figure Description

The pressure sensor 23 is located between the roller clamping mechanism 21 and the pressure applying mechanism 22. The lever arm 5 is equipped with a controller 7, and the pressure sensor 23 is signal-connected to the controller 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, the load applying component 2, guide wheel 32, pressure releasing and unloading component 4, lever arm 5, and controller 7 constitute a roller life detection module. Multiple roller life detection modules are evenly distributed on the base truss 1.
