Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing technology for washing machine accessories, and in particular relates to a testing device for plastic pulleys of drum washing machines. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic pulleys are one of the most important components of a drum washing machine. They connect the motor to the inner drum and drive the inner drum to rotate in both directions via belt transmission. Before being assembled into a drum washing machine, plastic pulleys need to undergo performance testing, which mainly includes aging, speed, stability, and noise levels.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN219348168U discloses a testing device for plastic pulleys of a drum washing machine, comprising: a test frame including a base plate; a fixing member disposed on the base plate; a washing machine shaft, one end of which is connected to the fixing member, and the other end of which is fitted with the pulley to be tested; a movable member, which is vertically and flexibly disposed above the pulley to be tested; a drive shaft, which is suspended from the bottom of the movable member and connected to the pulley to be tested via a belt; a force sensor disposed between the drive shaft and the movable member; a displacement sensor disposed on the test frame; an outer cover disposed on the test frame to form a test chamber; an electrical box connected to the bottom of the base plate; an air vent disposed on the base plate and connecting the electrical box and the test chamber; a cooling and heating device disposed inside the electrical box; and a temperature sensor disposed inside the test chamber. This invention utilizes the force sensor and displacement sensor to measure the force and deformation of the pulley to be tested. Combined with the cooling and heating device and the temperature sensor, it can perform strength deformation tests, thermal shock tests, accelerated creep tests, etc.
[0004] The aforementioned testing device for plastic pulleys in a drum washing machine includes a fixing component with a washing machine shaft mounted at its center. The fixing component connects to the axle of the pulley under test via the washing machine shaft. However, different sizes of pulleys require different axle sizes to fit the washing machine shaft, and the axle size on the fixing component of this testing device is non-adjustable and extremely difficult to disassemble, thus limiting the range of pulley sizes it can handle. Furthermore, the device is located inside an outer casing, which contains not only the pulley under test but also the fixing component for mounting the pulley, the washing machine mechanism, and various electronic components. During harsh condition testing, this is achieved by directly spraying salt spray into the outer casing or rapidly heating or cooling the internal environment. This condition not only affects the pulley under test but also has a significant adverse impact on the electronic components of the device itself. Therefore, we provide a testing device for plastic pulleys in a drum washing machine to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0016] This utility model comprises a plastic pulley body, a shaft, a drive assembly, and an adjustment assembly. A shaft is mounted on the metal axle of the plastic pulley. The drive assembly is mounted on the rear end of the shaft, and the adjustment assembly is mounted on the front end. The shaft is connected to the metal axle of the plastic pulley via the adjustment assembly. The drive assembly provides rotational power to the shaft, thereby driving the plastic pulley body to rotate. The drive assembly includes a drive motor fixed to the rear side wall of the housing.
