[0068] The test method of the MacPherson front suspension assembly brake test device considers the following conditions:

[0069] Condition one: simulating steering condition in the driving process

[0070] The application also provides a test method of the MacPherson front suspension assembly brake test device, which adopts the MacPherson front suspension assembly brake test device as described above, when the test method examines the fatigue strength of the MacPherson front suspension brake angle assembly under the steering condition, the brake test bench only rotates at a constant speed, does not brake, the electric cylinder simulates the steering condition, and loads the fixed amplitude equal-amplitude alternating cyclic load or the random load simulating the road load spectrum.

[0071] Specific step S1: collecting the strain signal of the transverse pull rod through a strain gauge from a test field road test of an actual vehicle.

[0072] Step S2: in the fatigue strength test of the MacPherson front suspension and brake angle assembly, the road spectrum signal, i.e. the road simulation signal, of the steering transverse pull rod transmitted to the MacPherson front suspension and brake angle assembly in the actual driving of the vehicle is considered, and the signal is generally a force signal. The strain signal of step 1 is converted into a force signal through bench test calibration.

[0073] Step S3: after equivalent damage calculation of the force signal, the fixed amplitude equal-amplitude alternating cyclic load is converted, or the random load simulating the road load spectrum is formed through filtering, compression, splicing and other processing of the signal.

[0074] Step S4: using the electric cylinder, the force signal is iterated or equally loaded through the remote parameter control software or the signal loading control program, the driving signal is obtained to drive the electric cylinder to perform actions, so as to apply the load under the steering condition to the MacPherson front suspension brake angle assembly.

[0075] Step S5: while the load under the steering condition is applied to the MacPherson front suspension brake angle assembly in step S4, the brake test bench can be designed to rotate at a variable speed, but the whole process does not brake.

[0076] In this way, the MacPherson front suspension brake angle assembly 11 is tested according to the road simulation force signal, the real condition of the MacPherson front suspension brake angle assembly 11 is reproduced, and the stress condition of the MacPherson front suspension brake angle assembly 11 under the actual working state can be truly simulated.

[0077] Condition two: simulating the braking condition in the driving process

[0078] The application also provides a test method of the brake test device of the McPherson front suspension assembly, which adopts the brake test device of the McPherson front suspension assembly as described above.

[0079] The rotation speed signal, the temperature signal and the brake pressure signal of the brake disc in the McPherson front suspension brake angle assembly 11 are collected by the rotation speed sensor, the acceleration sensor, the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor while the force signal is collected, and the equivalent loading is implemented by the inertia platform main shaft 20.

[0080] Specific step S1: the rotation speed sensor, the acceleration sensor, the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor are carried during the brake working condition test on the test field road of an actual vehicle, and the rotation speed signal, the acceleration signal and the temperature signal of the brake disc in the McPherson front suspension brake angle assembly and the brake pressure signal in the brake pipeline under the brake working condition are collected.

[0081] Step S2: the effective rotation speed, acceleration, temperature and pressure signals are formed after the collected signals are processed by filtering, compression and splicing, and are used as the target signals arranged in the brake test platform.

[0082] Step S3: the rotation speed, acceleration, temperature and pressure parameters in step S2 are set by the remote parameter control software, and the equivalent loading is implemented by the inertia platform main shaft 20.

[0083] The test working condition of the McPherson front suspension brake angle assembly 11 on the inertia platform main shaft 20 is determined according to the rotation speed, acceleration, temperature and brake pressure collected according to the actual vehicle real working condition, so that the loading of the McPherson front suspension brake angle assembly 11 in the test process is highly consistent with the actual vehicle working condition.

[0084] Working condition three: simulate the brake steering working condition in the driving process

[0085] The application also provides a test method of the brake test device of the McPherson front suspension assembly, which adopts the brake test device of the McPherson front suspension assembly as described above.

[0086] Specific step S1: in the test field road of a real vehicle, strain gauges, speed sensors, acceleration sensors, temperature sensors and pressure sensors are loaded when the steering brake working condition test is carried out, and the force signal of the transverse pull rod 12, the speed signal of the brake disc, the temperature signal and the brake pressure signal are collected.

[0087] Step S2: the strain signal of step S1 is converted into a force signal through bench test calibration.

[0088] Step S3: after the collected signals are processed through filtering, compression and splicing, etc., an equal-amplitude alternating cyclic load is formed as the target signal of the electric cylinder 31;

[0089] Step S4: synchronizing with step S3, the collected speed, acceleration, temperature and brake pressure signals are used as the target signals of the brake test bench. The inertia bench main shaft 20 is tested in the front suspension corner assembly brake test device.

[0090] The output method and process of the electric cylinder 31 target signal are the same as working condition one, and the output method and process of the target signal used when the inertia bench main shaft 20 is tested are the same as working condition two, the difference lies in that the signal characteristics collected by the real vehicle are different, and the components used for implementing the load are different.

[0091] The MacPherson front suspension assembly brake test device and the test method thereof of the present application are designed in combination with the 1 / 4 front suspension brake assembly and the steering transverse pull rod test, which is closer to the system level brake performance in the real vehicle state. The present application simulates the real vehicle state, and the brake test performance test method under various working conditions is designed, and the appropriate tooling is used to realize it.

[0092] In summary, the MacPherson front suspension assembly brake test device and the test method thereof of the present application are designed in combination with the 1 / 4 front suspension brake assembly and the steering transverse pull rod test device, the real vehicle posture is designed when the device is designed, which is simple in design, convenient in manufacturing and easy to install.

[0093] The test method can not only separately examine the brake fatigue strength of the MacPherson front suspension corner assembly under the brake working condition, the fatigue strength of the MacPherson front suspension and the brake corner assembly under the steering working condition, but also examine the brake fatigue strength of the MacPherson front suspension corner assembly under the turning and emergency brake working condition. Moreover, the three can be alternately performed, which makes up for the present separate test, single working condition (combination of working condition one or working condition two) test state. Time and economic cost are saved, and the MacPherson front suspension and brake corner assembly brake test can be widely promoted.

[0094] Although the specific embodiments of the present application have been described above, it is understood by those skilled in the art that these are merely illustrative, and the scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the embodiments without departing from the principles and the essence of the present application, and such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
