DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The hydraulic medium mentioned in the present invention is described by taking hydraulic oil as an example. Figure 1 The present invention will be described.

[0028] A hydraulic real-time load simulation device of the present invention comprises an outer cylinder 3 with openings at both ends and being hollow, a pressure sensor 4, a left end cover 2, a right end cover 8, an inner cylinder 6, a spring 7, and a limit rod 5. The outer cylinder 3 is provided with an assembly hole and an adjustment port 10 on its circumference. The pressure sensor 4 is installed in the assembly hole on the circumference of the outer cylinder 3. The pressure sensor 4 is used to feedback and correct the oil filling amount in real time to realize closed-loop adjustment of the load and control the size of the load in real time. The linear adjustment characteristics of the oil filling amount, combined with the buffering and rapid reset of the spring 7, make the present invention very easy to implement in manufacturing and very economical in use cost.

[0029] The left end cover 2 extends into the opening at one end of the outer cylinder body 3 and is fixed to the outer cylinder body 3. The left end cover 2 is provided with an oil inlet hole 2a that passes through the axial end surface of the left end cover 2; the right end cover 8 extends into the opening at the other end of the outer cylinder body 3 and is fixed to the outer cylinder body 3; the inner cylinder body 6 is located in the outer cylinder body 3 and is slidably matched with the outer cylinder body 3, and an axial through hole is provided on the inner cylinder body 6; one end of the spring 7 is against the inner cylinder body 6, and the other end of the spring 7 is matched with the right end cover 8.

[0030] One end of the limit rod 5 passes through the through hole set on the inner cylinder body 6 and slides with the through hole. Under the tension of the spring 7, the other end of the limit rod 5 is matched with the orifice of the oil inlet hole 2a, and the limit rod 5 and the inner cylinder body 6 form abutment; a hydraulic medium accommodating chamber 11 is formed between the outer cylinder body 3 and the left end cover 2, the limit rod 5 and the inner cylinder body 6, and the pressure sensor 4 and the regulating port 10 correspond to the hydraulic medium accommodating chamber 11.

[0031] During the test, the output load force is changed by changing the amount of oil filling, and the pressure in the hydraulic medium containing cavity 11 is adjusted in real time through the regulating port 10 to achieve the result of simulating real-time pressure changes. This is achieved through real-time perception of the pressure sensor 4 and real-time control of the amount of oil filling and the amount of oil leakage through the regulating port 10. After the test, the oil can be drained through the regulating port 10 to reset the inner cylinder 6 and the limit rod 5 under the action of the spring 7.

[0032] The limiting rod 5 includes a guide rod 5a and a limiting portion 5b. The outer diameter of the guide rod 5a is smaller than the outer diameter of the limiting portion 5b. A step 5c is formed between the guide rod 5a and the limiting portion 5b. The step 5c abuts against the inner cylinder body 6. After the hydraulic medium enters from the oil inlet hole 2a, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic medium acts on the axial end surface of the other end of the limiting rod 5 to move the limiting rod 5. The limiting rod 5 overcomes the tension of the spring 7 to move the inner cylinder body 6. When one end of the limiting rod 5 abuts against the right end cover 8, the limiting rod 5 stops moving. The hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic medium entering the hydraulic medium accommodating cavity 11 acts on the inner cylinder body 6, so that the inner cylinder body 6 overcomes the tension of the spring 7 and continues to move.

[0033] The limit rod 5 of the above structure forms a seal on the oil inlet hole 2a when no hydraulic oil is injected. When the hydraulic oil initially enters the oil inlet hole 2a, under the pressure of the hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil pushes the limit rod 5 to move so that the orifice of the oil inlet hole 2a is opened. At this time, the limit rod 5 overcomes the tension of the spring 7 and pushes the inner cylinder 6 to move. When the limit rod 5 stops moving and the inner cylinder 6 moves relative to the limit rod 5, the limit rod 5 guides the inner cylinder 6. When the spring 7 is compressed, the load is the compression force on the spring 7.

[0034] The end of the right end cover 8 facing the inner cylinder body 6 is provided with a guide component, and the end of the inner cylinder body 6 facing the right end cover 8 is provided with a cylinder 6a, which is sleeved on the guide component and has a clearance fit with the guide component. The guide component includes a guide portion 8a and a fixed connection portion 8b, the outer diameter of the guide portion 8a is smaller than the outer diameter of the fixed connection portion 8b, the guide portion 8a has a clearance fit with the cylinder 6a, and the fixed connection portion 8b is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder body 3 by a thread. A clearance space for the cylinder 6a to move is formed between the guide portion 8a and the outer cylinder body 3. The cylinder 6a surrounds the guide rod 5a and the spring 7.

[0035] The present embodiment further includes a rotation driving component 9, which is connected to the right end cover 8. The rotation driving component 9 is located outside the outer cylinder body 3. When the rotation driving component 9 rotates, it drives the right end cover 8 to move along the outer cylinder body 3 to adjust the tension of the spring 7. In the present embodiment, the right end cover 8 is threadedly connected to the outer cylinder body 3. By rotating the rotation driving component 9, the rotation driving component 9 can make the right end cover 8 move forward and backward relative to the outer cylinder body 3.

[0036] This embodiment further includes an oil pipe joint 1, which is connected to the oil inlet hole 2a. A portion of the oil pipe joint 1 is exposed outside the oil inlet hole 2a, and the oil pipe joint 1 is used to connect to the hydraulic oil injection mechanism.

[0037] The hydraulic oil enters the hydraulic medium containing cavity 11 after pushing the limit rod 5 through the oil pipe joint 1 and the oil inlet hole 2a. The continuous entry of the hydraulic oil overcomes the tension of the spring 7 and pushes the inner cylinder 6 to move toward the right end cover 8, so that the spring 7 force is converted into the pressure on the left end face of the inner cylinder 6 to simulate the load pressure. The pressure sensor 4 is used to detect whether the pressure in the hydraulic medium containing cavity 11 meets the test requirements. The load pressure is adjusted in real time by the amount of oil filling and oil leakage. At the same time, the load pressure can be fine-tuned by adjusting the position of the right end cover 8. After the test, the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic medium containing cavity 11 can be drained through the adjustment port 10 to reset the limit rod 5, the inner cylinder 6, and the spring 7.

[0038] The real-time load simulation device of the present invention has the characteristics of simple structure, light weight, strong versatility and low comprehensive cost, and can meet different test requirements. By changing the stiffness of the spring in its internal structure, it can be extended to simulate other loads.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting them, and certainly not limiting the patent scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents.
