[0036] 300 actuator DETAILED DESCRIPTION​​​​​​​​

[0037] Without loss of generality, the present application takes the vehicle body test device for simulating the test of the vehicle body section of the rail vehicle with the collision column and the corner column as an example to introduce the technical scheme and the technical effect, and the vehicle body test device of the present application

[0038] In order to make the technical personnel in the art better understand the technical scheme of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The present application provides a vehicle body test device, which comprises a support frame, a frame assembly, a limiting assembly and a telescopic cylinder.

[0040] It should be noted that the length direction of the frame assembly 100 corresponds to the length direction of the simulated vehicle body, and the width direction of the frame assembly 100 corresponds to the width direction of the simulated vehicle body. The longitudinal section corresponds to the plane along the length direction of the vehicle body, and the transverse section corresponds to the plane along the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The support frame 200 provided by the present application can not only provide a mounting base for other components of the vehicle body test device, but also can be connected and fixed with other external environments. The specific form of the support frame 200 can have various forms under the premise of meeting the needs, and the present application mainly provides a structure in which the support frame 200 is formed by welding a plurality of rods. Of course, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure of the support frame 200 is not limited to the structure described herein but can also be other structure forms.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The frame assembly 100 in the present application comprises a frame body formed by a plurality of beams, which is used to simulate the skeleton of the tested vehicle body. The beams can be rectangular tubes, square tubes or other tubular structures. According to the different setting directions of the beams, the beams can be divided into transverse beams 16 and longitudinal beams 15. At least one of the plurality of beams is a force-bearing beam, and the side wall of the force-bearing beam has a force-bearing surface. The force-bearing surface and the longitudinal section or the transverse section of the frame assembly 100 have an included angle. For example, the force-bearing surface and the longitudinal section have a predetermined included angle to simulate the force-bearing of the collision column 11 and the corner column. Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In FIG. 9, the force applied to the corner column and the longitudinal section have an angle of a, Figure 10 the force applied to the corner column and the longitudinal section have an angle of -a, Figure 10 and Figure 9 The two forces in the above two figures are symmetrical about the longitudinal section. The included angle between the force-bearing surface and the longitudinal section or the transverse section can be determined according to the actual situation, and a can be any value in the range of 0 to ± 90 degrees. In the following, a is taken as 15 degrees and -15 degrees as an example to introduce the technical scheme and the technical effect.

[0043] The frame assembly 100 in the application is supported on the support frame 200, and the limiting assembly can limit the movement of the frame assembly 100 relative to the support frame 200 to position it on the support frame 200; that is, under the action of the limiting assembly, the frame assembly 100 cannot move in position relative to the support frame 200. In a specific example, the limiting assembly can limit the lateral position and the longitudinal position of the frame assembly 100 to achieve the limiting of the frame assembly 100. Figure 1 The x direction is transverse, and the y direction is longitudinal.

[0044] The telescopic cylinder 22 is horizontally arranged, and the support frame 200 further has a mounting surface parallel to the bearing surface, the fixed end of the telescopic cylinder 22 is mounted on the mounting surface, and the movable end can abut against the bearing surface. When two or two kinds of loads of different angles need to be loaded, the mounting surface and the bearing surface corresponding to the load can be arranged respectively to meet the test requirements, for example, the first mounting surface 231 and the first bearing surface 13 are arranged in parallel to meet the loading of the load at an angle of ɑ1 to the longitudinal section, and the second mounting surface 232 and the second bearing surface 14 are arranged in parallel to meet the loading of the load at an angle of ɑ2 to the longitudinal section.

[0045] In the application, the telescopic cylinder 22 is horizontally mounted between the bearing surface of the force-bearing beam of the frame assembly 100 and the mounting surface of the support frame 200, and the bearing surface and the mounting surface are parallel and at an angle of ɑ to the longitudinal section, so that the force exerted by the telescopic cylinder 22 on the force-bearing beam is at an angle of ɑ to the longitudinal section, thereby achieving simulation of the multi-angle force load of the force-bearing beam, and the simulation result is relatively accurate, which has important guiding significance for actual vehicle body design.

[0046] In a specific example, the vehicle body test device in the application further comprises a base 23, and the mounting surface is arranged on one side of the base 23 facing the frame assembly 100; the vehicle body test device further comprises a first frame body 21 in a box structure, and a plurality of mounting hole groups are arranged on the side wall opposite to the first side of the frame assembly 100, each mounting hole group comprising at least one mounting hole 211 for detachably mounting the base 23.

Taking the corner column and the collision column test as an example, the corner column and the collision column are located at different positions of the vehicle body, and correspondingly, the simulation corner column 12 and the simulation collision column 11 are also located at different positions of the frame assembly 100, so that according to the test conditions, the mounting position of the base 23 on the first frame body 21 can be adjusted to realize the force loading of the simulation corner column 12 and the simulation collision column 11 by the same set of telescopic cylinders 22.

[0048] In order to further improve the flexibility of the device, the height of the first frame body 21 relative to the support frame 200 is adjustable; there are various ways to achieve the height adjustment of the first frame body 21 relative to the support frame 200, for example, the first frame body 21 is supported on the support frame 200 through an adjustable component, or the first frame body 21 is supported on the support frame 200 through a support component with a fixed length, and the height adjustment of the first frame body 21 relative to the support frame 200 is achieved by replacing the support component with a suitable height.

[0049] In a specific example, the vehicle body test device of the present application at least includes a first support column group and a second support column group, the first support column group includes a plurality of first support columns, the second support column group includes a plurality of second support columns, the heights of the first support columns and the second support columns are different, and the first frame body 21 can be supported on the support table through the first support column group or the second support column group.

And the first frame body 21 and the second frame body 26 are both box structures, and the structural stability is relatively high.

[0052] The support frame 200 of the above vehicle body test device is also fixed with an upright stand 281 and a diagonal brace 282, the upright stand 281 is vertically supported and fixed on the support table, the upright stand 281 can be fixedly connected with a plurality of transverse beams and longitudinal beams to form, and the upright stand 281 is further supported on the support table through the diagonal brace 282, the upright stand 281 is also provided with an actuator 300 for exerting a force on part of the beams on the second side of the frame assembly 100, wherein the first side and the second side are perpendicular.

Of course, by setting the arrangement direction of the actuator, the force exerted by the actuator can also have a predetermined angle with the cross section.

[0054] In one embodiment, the arrangement of the beams on the second side of the frame assembly can refer to Figure 2 , including a vertical beam 192 located in the middle of the second side, and longitudinal simulation window beams 191 fixedly connected to both sides of the vertical beam 192.

[0058] In addition, the support frame 200 is also provided with four upward limiting columns 202, which limit the transverse displacement of the frame assembly 100.
