The invention belongs to the technical field of ship bearings, and particularly relates to a ship bearing radial loading
test bench and method for simulating ice load and
water immersion working conditions, and the method comprises the steps: installing a to-be-tested intermediate bearing on a
test platform, enabling the intermediate bearing to sleeve a test shaft, starting a cooling
water circulation system to control the flow, cooling water enters a cooling water coil
pipe to establish oil
pool cooling circulation; a driving motor is started; a test shaft stably operates through equipment such as a reduction gearbox and the like; a
dynamic pressure lubrication state is established, a radial dynamic load or a stable
constant load is applied through a hydraulic loading
system to simulate an icebreaking load working condition, and a simulated
water body is injected into a water tank; the test conditions of the intermediate bearing in a ship immersion environment are constructed through
water pressure adjustment, the temperatures of lubricating oil, a bearing bush and cooling water are monitored in real time, the loading force is adjusted through feedback data, and the performance of the intermediate bearing is judged after the test is finished. The problems that ice excitation and soaking environment
simulation are insufficient and a loading structure is eccentric in the prior art are solved, and high-precision cooling and
thermal stability evaluation are achieved.
