Abstract:
A coil spring modeling apparatus (20) includes an actuator unit (30) formed of a Stewart-platform-type parallel mechanism, a first inner load cell (41) accommodated in a first attachment member (21), a second inner load cell (42) accommodated in a second attachment member (22), and a rotation support mechanism (50). The actuator unit (30) is rotatably supported by the rotation support mechanism (50) about an axis (L 1 ). The first inner load cell (41) is arranged on the first seat adapter (27) coaxially with the rotation support mechanism (50), and detects an axial force acting on the lower spring seat (10A) and a moment. The second inner load cell (42) is arranged under the second seat adapter (28) coaxially with the rotation support mechanism (50), and detects an axial force acting on the upper spring seat (15A) and a moment.
Abstract:
A vertical motion impeller-type shot peening device (50) performs a second shot peening to a coil spring (10) including first shot peening indentations (20). The vertical motion impeller-type shot peening device (50) includes a workpiece holding mechanism (52) including a lower end turn support (84, 85) and an upper end turn support (95, 96), a stress applying mechanism (90) which compresses the coil spring (10), a rotation mechanism (100) which allows the coil spring (10) to rotate around the vertical axis, and a projection mechanism (57) which includes a pair of vertically movable impeller units (55, 56). A first rough surface (21) including first shot peening indentations (20) is formed on a part of end turn portions (10a, 10b) of the coil spring (10). A second rough surface (31) including second shot peening indentations (30) is formed on the entire surface of wire (11) except for the first rough surface (21).
Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a coil spring includes a wire rod (2) having an end and the other end. The wire rod (2) of the coil spring includes, with regard to a section of the wire rod (2), a round section potion (30) of an effective spring part (13), a square section portion (31) in which the section is substantially square, and a taper portion (32). The square section portion (31) includes an end turn part (11)(12). A length of each side of the section of the square section portion (31) is less than or equal to a square root of 1/2 multiplied by a diameter of the wire rod (2) of the round section portion (30). In the taper portion (32), from the round section portion (30) to the square section portion (31), the section changes from a round shape to substantially a square shape, and a sectional area is decreased.
Abstract:
A coil spring modeling apparatus (20) includes a first attachment member (21) disposed on a lower spring seat (10A), a second attachment member (22) disposed on an upper spring seat (15A), an actuator unit (30) formed of a Stewart-platform-type parallel mechanism, a hydraulic pressure supply device (37), a torsion detection mechanism (40A), and a controller (70). The torsion detection mechanism (40A) is constituted of displacement gauges (40 1 -40 6 ) such as a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). The displacement gauges (40 1 -40 6 ) are provided on hydraulic cylinders (31 1 -31 6 ), and detect amounts of displacement relative to the reference lengths of the hydraulic cylinders (31 1 -31 6 ), respectively. The controller (70) calculates a relative torsional angle between the first attachment member (21) and the second attachment member (22) based on the detected amounts of displacement.
