Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a rotor assembly rotation speed test device and belongs to the technical field of rotor assemblies.
Background Art
[0002] The rotor assembly of a motor generally includes a rotor core fixed to a rotor shaft. The rotor core includes a magnetic body having holes, and the rotor shaft is received through these holes. Since most magnetic bodies are relatively brittle, if they receive too much stress, they will crack. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a high-speed rotation test on the rotor assembly under specific curve requirements. During the test, the rotation speed needs to exceed 200,000 revolutions per minute and be able to run steadily for a certain period of time to judge the strength and reliability of the rotor assembly. Currently, generally, a method of combining a magnetic component, a circuit board-fixed magnetic component, and a case is adopted. Specifically, the case is fitted to the target object so that the target object rotates the magnetic component. The magnetic component provides a trigger magnetic field to the circuit board, and the circuit board outputs a square wave signal in response to the trigger magnetic field and transmits the square wave signal to the controller to detect the rotation direction and speed of the target object by the controller according to the square wave signal. Here, the magnet of the magnetic component is fixed to a plastic housing. At high rotation speeds, the plastic case has a risk of cracking, which makes it unable to meet the test requirements of high rotation speeds. Moreover, the detection device is fixed to the rotor system, and due to the non-uniform mass distribution, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the test.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a rotor assembly rotational speed test device that solves the problems existing in the prior art, such as being unable to meet the test requirements of high rotational speeds and having difficulty in ensuring the stability of the test.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] The above technical object of the present invention is mainly solved by the following technical solution. A rotor assembly rotational speed test device includes a base, on which a workpiece support position for horizontally placing the rotor assembly is provided. The workpiece support position and the rotor shaft in the rotor assembly form a rotational support. On the base, a speed measurement element for measuring the rotational speed of the rotor shaft is indirectly or directly fixed. On one side in the lateral direction of the workpiece support position, a drive component for driving the rotation of the rotor shaft is provided. The drive component includes an intake base and an impeller sleeved on the end of the rotor shaft and capable of rotating synchronously therewith. At the end of the intake base facing the workpiece support position, a rotation groove for the impeller to rotate is formed. At this end of the rotation groove, an opening for the impeller to enter therein is formed. An intake passage communicating with an external gas source is communicatively provided on the outer side in the circumferential direction of the rotation groove.
[0005] When using the device of the present invention, first, the impeller is externally mounted on the rotor shaft to form a rotor assembly, and this rotor assembly is horizontally placed at the workpiece support position. The impeller is inserted into the rotation groove through the opening of the rotation groove. Then, an external gas source is controlled to send gas into the intake passage. The gas entering through the intake passage is blown onto the impeller from the circumferential direction of the rotation groove to rotate it at high speed, thereby enabling the rotor shaft to rotate at high speed. The rotation speed value of the rotor shaft is measured by a speed measurement element, and a rotation speed test of the rotor assembly is performed. The present invention can stably convert the input gas source into a rotation speed when the gas source is stable, and the rotation speed output is stable, can meet the test requirements of high rotation speed, and can guarantee the stability of the test.
[0006] Preferably, the intake passage horizontally passes through the rotation groove and penetrates both lateral ends of the intake base. One end of the intake passage communicates with an external gas source, the other opposite end of the intake passage communicates with the external space, and the outer end of the impeller blade of the impeller is located within the intake passage.
[0007] The intake passage is installed so as to horizontally pass through the rotation groove and penetrate both lateral ends of the intake base. One end of the intake passage communicates with an external gas source, the other opposite end of the intake passage communicates with the external space, and the outer end of the impeller blade of the impeller is located within the intake passage. Thereby, the gas entering through the intake passage can be directly blown onto the outer end of the impeller blade to rotate it. It has low energy consumption, and by opening both ends of the intake passage, air convection can be generated, the gas can flow quickly, it is easy to blow the impeller to rotate at high speed, has high energy conversion efficiency, and can effectively reduce the test cost.
[0008] Preferably, the number of the intake passages is two, and the two intake passages are installed at intervals vertically along the height direction of the intake base. The two ends on the same side of the two intake passages respectively communicate with the external gas source and the external space.
[0009] Set the number of intake passages to two, and the two intake passages are installed vertically at intervals along the height direction of the intake base. By connecting the two ends on the same side of the two intake passages to an external gas source and an external space respectively, the gas entering through the two intake passages can be blown from the reverse direction onto the outer ends of the blades of the impeller, enabling the impeller to obtain a high rotational speed and further meeting the test requirements of a high rotational speed.

[0011] The drive component is further provided with a baffle sleeved on the rotor shaft and located inside the impeller. When the impeller is located in the rotation groove, the opening of the rotation groove is sealed by the baffle, thereby preventing the gas from being blown by the baffle to one side of the workpiece placement position during the test, preventing it from affecting the stable placement of the rotor assembly at the workpiece placement position, and ensuring the stability of the test. Also, the baffle stops the impeller and can prevent it from moving along the rotor shaft to one side of the workpiece placement position during high-speed operation, thereby preventing the impeller from colliding and causing damage.

[0014] Preferably, the workpiece support position includes two bearings sleeved on the rotor shaft at intervals and rotatable synchronously therewith. The two bearings are located on the same side of the impeller. The workpiece support position further includes two support bases indirectly or directly fixed to the base.

The two support bases are installed at intervals left and right. Positioning circular holes penetrating through both left and right ends thereof and conforming to the bearings are formed in the support bases. Thereby, when the rotor assembly is horizontally placed on the two support bases along the axial direction of the positioning circular holes, the fitting between the outer rings of the two bearings on the rotor shaft and the inner wall of the positioning circular holes can realize the rotational support of the rotor shaft, and the rotor shaft can be easily rotated during the test.
[0016] Preferably, a relief groove extending vertically upward is communicatively provided at the tip of the positioning circular hole. The relief groove penetrates through both left and right ends of the support base and has an opening formed at the top.
