Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an air spring torsional pendulum fatigue testing device, belonging to the technical field of air spring detection. Background Art

[0002] Air springs, as key components of EMU bogies, play a vital role in improving vehicle comfort and safety. When traversing curved tracks, air springs withstand not only static loads from the vertical vehicle body but also horizontal and torsional displacements. Existing two-dimensional air spring loading and torsional stiffness testing machines can only perform pure shear and torsional stiffness tests on air springs. Mechanical air pendulum fatigue testing machines, which use an eccentric wheel to apply a fixed displacement, not only lack fatigue life but also frequently require replacement of wearing parts due to mechanical wear, making it impossible to collect load and displacement test data. Air spring mechanical properties are divided into static and fatigue tests. Static performance includes air tightness, vertical, shear, torsion, and pendulum tests, while fatigue performance includes vertical, shear, and pendulum fatigue tests. Most conventional mechanical performance tests are already available. Shear testing measures the shear stiffness of an air spring at different horizontal displacements, torsion testing measures the torsional stiffness of an air spring at different torsional angles, and pendulum testing measures the combined torsional and pendulum loading performance of an air spring at different horizontal and torsional displacements. In summary, there are still considerable technical difficulties in conducting torsional fatigue tests on air springs using current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The following combination Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

[0023] The air spring torsion pendulum fatigue test device includes a horizontally arranged installation platform 1 and a vertical loading component 2 for applying a vertical load to the air spring. The vertical loading component 2 is mounted on the installation platform 1 and is characterized in that a torsion pendulum loading mechanism 3 with three moving layers, namely, upper, middle and lower layers, is installed on the installation platform 1. The air spring 100 is vertically installed between the torsion pendulum loading mechanism 3 and the vertical loading component 2. The horizontal longitudinal movement of the lower layer in the torsion pendulum loading mechanism, the horizontal lateral movement of the middle layer on the lower layer, and the torsion of the upper layer on the middle layer are combined into a torsion pendulum motion to drive the air spring to torsion.

[0024] In the above-mentioned air spring torsion fatigue test device, the air spring 100 is installed between the torsion loading mechanism 3 and the vertical loading component 2, and the torsion loading mechanism 3 is set to have three motion layers: upper, middle and lower. That is, the torsion motion of the torsion loading mechanism 3 is decomposed into the horizontal longitudinal motion of the lower layer, the horizontal lateral motion of the middle layer on the lower layer, and the torsion of the upper layer on the middle layer. The motion of the upper layer and the middle layer is combined into horizontal swing, and the torsion of the upper layer on the middle layer is combined with the horizontal swing to form a torsion motion, which solves the technical problem of the difficulty of combining horizontal swing and horizontal torsion in the existing air spring test equipment, and realizes the torsion of the air spring. Loading simulates the load of the air spring in actual torsional pendulum working conditions, improves the reliability and effectiveness of the air spring torsional pendulum fatigue test, and during the movement of the torsional pendulum loading mechanism 3, the upper, middle and lower three motion layers all have relative unidirectional motion. The torsional pendulum motion is composed of multiple layers of motion. Each layer only bears the force of its unidirectional motion, which generates smaller friction and higher displacement accuracy. It realizes torsional pendulum loading of small radius and small angle of the air spring, improves the test accuracy, and solves the technical problem that the existing air spring loading test equipment combines multi-directional motion in one motion layer, the friction generated is not constant in the general direction, and the displacement accuracy is low.

[0025] Among them, the torsion pendulum loading mechanism 3 includes a lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 that can move horizontally longitudinally on the installation platform 1, a middle lateral power component 5 installed on the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 and having horizontal lateral loading power, and an upper torsion component 6 rotatably installed on the middle lateral power component 5. The upper torsion component 6 is connected to the installation platform 1 to form a swing fulcrum, and the upper torsion component 6 is connected to the lower end plate of the air spring 100. The lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 slides on the installation platform with the movement of the middle lateral power component 5, causing the upper torsion component 6 to swing and generate torsion. The middle-layer lateral power component 5 has horizontal lateral loading power, so that the middle-layer lateral power component 5 forms a horizontal lateral reciprocating motion on the lower-layer longitudinal sliding plate 4. Due to the constraint of the swing fulcrum, the middle-layer lateral power component 5 can only drive the upper-layer torsion component 6 to swing around the swing fulcrum, so that the lower-layer longitudinal sliding plate 4 slides back and forth horizontally and longitudinally on the mounting platform 1, forming a swinging horizontal longitudinal displacement, realizing the decomposition of the horizontal swing into the longitudinal motion of the lower layer and the lateral motion of the middle layer. The upper-layer torsion component 6 generates torsion during the swinging process, realizing a composite motion of swinging and torsion, adapting to the torsion of the air spring 100 during the swinging process, adjusting the swing radius of the upper torsion component 6 and the lateral loading displacement of the middle-layer lateral power component 5, and adjusting the swing angle, torsion angle and swing radius of the torsion loading mechanism 3, to realize the simulation of the air spring torsion fatigue test under different torsion working conditions. Even when the swing radius and the swing angle are small, the torsion loading mechanism will form an effective motion, and the test will be more accurate and more practical.

[0026] The lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 is guided along the horizontal longitudinal direction by the mounting platform 1, and the middle transverse power assembly 5 is guided along the horizontal transverse direction by the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4, forming a rolling friction pair with the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4. The horizontal longitudinal direction refers to the left-right direction in the drawings, and the horizontal transverse direction refers to the front-back direction in the drawings. The lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 is constrained by the mounting platform 1 to move only in the horizontal longitudinal direction, while the middle transverse power assembly 5 is constrained by the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 to move only in the horizontal transverse direction on the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4. The swinging of the upper torsion assembly 6 about the swing fulcrum is decomposed into the horizontal longitudinal motion of the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 on the mounting platform 1 and the horizontal transverse motion of the middle transverse motion assembly 5 on the upper longitudinal sliding plate 4. The lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 only bears the horizontal longitudinal force, while the middle transverse power assembly 5 only applies the horizontal transverse loading force. During the movement, the horizontal transverse direction is the direct force application direction. The middle transverse power assembly 5 has a large horizontal transverse displacement, while the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 has a smaller horizontal longitudinal displacement due to the swinging of the upper torsion assembly 6. When the swing radius is small and the angle is small, the horizontal longitudinal movement displacement is small, but the unidirectional movement of the lower longitudinal slide 4 on the mounting platform 1 is not restricted by the small displacement. The lower longitudinal slide 4 can also slide precisely under small radius and small angle conditions. The movement accuracy of the torsion pendulum loading mechanism 3 is high and is not restricted by the swing angle and swing radius.

[0027] Among them, the middle-layer transverse power assembly 5 includes a middle-layer transverse sliding plate 51 that forms a rolling friction pair with the lower-layer longitudinal sliding plate 4, a transverse oil cylinder 52 that pushes the middle-layer transverse sliding plate 51 to reciprocate, and a cylinder support 53 installed on the mounting platform 1. The transverse oil cylinder 52 is arranged horizontally and the telescopic end is hinged to the middle-layer transverse sliding plate 51 through a rotating ball head, and the mounting end is installed on the cylinder support 53. The transverse cylinder 52 applies a transverse force to the middle transverse sliding plate 51, causing the middle transverse sliding plate 51 to reciprocate on the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4. Since the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 will move horizontally and longitudinally, the telescopic end of the transverse cylinder 52 is connected to the middle transverse sliding plate 51 through a rotating ball head. When the middle transverse sliding plate 51 moves longitudinally with the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4, the rotating ball head rotates synchronously, so that the transverse cylinder 52 applies a transverse force to the middle transverse sliding plate 51 during the process of the middle transverse sliding plate 51 moving longitudinally with the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4, driving the middle transverse sliding plate 51 to move horizontally and transversely on the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4. The movement of the upper longitudinal sliding plate 4 and the middle transverse sliding plate 51 are combined, causing the middle transverse sliding plate 51 to swing around the swing fulcrum.

[0028] The top surface of the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 is equipped with a roller mounting frame 41. Rollers 42 are evenly arranged horizontally within the roller mounting frame 41. The rollers 42 form a rolling friction pair with the middle transverse sliding plate 51. The rolling of the middle transverse sliding plate 51 on the rollers 42 generates less friction, less wear on the middle transverse sliding plate 51, and smoother movement of the middle transverse sliding plate 51.

[0029] The lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 is equipped with guide rollers 54 that guide the middle transverse sliding plate 51. The guide rollers 54 are arranged on both sides of the roller mounting frame 41 and are evenly spaced in the horizontal direction. The guide rollers 54 are in rolling contact on both sides of the middle transverse sliding plate 51. The middle transverse sliding plate 51 is located between the two rows of guide rollers 54. The guide rollers 54 limit the movement of the middle transverse sliding plate 51 on the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4, so that the middle transverse sliding plate 51 can only move in the horizontal direction on the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4. The rolling contact between the guide rollers 42 and the middle transverse sliding plate 51 reduces friction between the two, guiding the movement of the middle transverse sliding plate 51 without affecting the smoothness of the movement of the middle transverse sliding plate 51.

[0030] The mounting platform 1 is equipped with a plurality of longitudinal guide rails 11 extending in a horizontal longitudinal direction and arranged in parallel on the mounting platform 11. A guide block 43 is provided at the bottom of the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4, which cooperates with the longitudinal guide rail 11. The cross-section of the longitudinal guide rail 11 is waisted, and the guide block 43 is positioned vertically on the longitudinal guide rail 11. The longitudinal guide rail 11 guides the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4, defining its direction of movement. The cooperation between the guide block 11 and the waisted shape of the longitudinal guide rail 11 allows the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 to be vertically positioned on the mounting platform 1, ensuring that the torsion and sway loading mechanism 3 does not tilt during movement and remains horizontal.

[0031] The upper torsion assembly 6 comprises a thrust bearing 61 mounted on the middle transverse power assembly and a swing arm mounting platform 62 associated with the thrust bearing 61. The lower end plate of the air spring 100 extends into the swing arm mounting platform 62 and is connected to the thrust bearing 61. A swing radius adjustment assembly 7 for adjusting the swing radius of the upper torsion assembly 6 is mounted on the mounting platform 1. The swing arm mounting platform 62 and the swing radius adjustment assembly 7 are hingedly connected to form a swing fulcrum. The lower end plate of the air spring 100 is connected to the thrust bearing 61. When the thrust bearing 61 and the swing arm mounting platform 62 swing around the swing fulcrum with the middle transverse sliding plate 51, the air spring 100 is subjected to torsion. The relative rotation of the upper and lower rings of the thrust bearing 61 accommodates the torsion of the air spring 100, causing the lower end plate of the air spring to rotate. This generates a torsional angle of the air spring during its swing, creating a compound torsional pendulum motion of the air spring, combining swing and torsion, simulating the torsional pendulum motion experienced in actual air spring operation.

[0032] Among them, the swing arm mounting platform 62 includes a mounting platform 63 equipped with a thrust bearing, a swing arm 64 extending horizontally from the mounting platform 63, and a swing radius adjustment component 7 includes a support seat 71 mounted on the mounting platform 1 and guided by the longitudinal guide rail 11, a support column 72 mounted on the support seat 71 and vertically arranged, and a screw pusher 73 mounted on the mounting platform 1 and pushing the support seat 71 to move along the longitudinal guide rail 11. The upper end of the support column 72 is hinged to the swing arm 64 to form a swing fulcrum. A strip hole 65 parallel to the longitudinal guide rail is opened on the swing arm 64. An upper positioning bolt 74 extending from the strip hole 65 is installed on the support column 72. A lower positioning bolt 75 for positioning the support seat 71 on the longitudinal guide rail 11 is installed at the bottom of the support seat 71. The swing radius of the mounting platform 63 is determined by the locking of the upper positioning bolt 74 and the lower positioning bolt 75. The screw pusher 73 rotates the screw through the handle, and the support seat 71 slides along the longitudinal guide rail 11 as the screw rotates, driving the support column 72 to move horizontally and longitudinally, and the upper positioning bolt 74 to move in the strip hole 65. When the desired swing radius is adjusted, the upper positioning bolt 74 is locked, so that the support column 72 can no longer move longitudinally on the swing arm 64, and the support seat 71 can no longer move on the longitudinal guide rail 11, thereby determining the swing radius of the mounting platform 63. The screw pusher 73 realizes stepless automatic adjustment of the swing radius, improving the operability and convenience of adjustment. The support seat 71 and the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 are both guided and coordinated with the longitudinal guide rail 11. The longitudinal guide rail 11 plays a multiple role in guiding and positioning the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4, vertically positioning the lower longitudinal sliding plate 4 on the mounting platform, and guiding the support seat 71 to form a multiple role in guiding and adjusting the swing radius, improving the compactness, stability and adjustment reliability of the test device structure, and simplifying the internal matching structure.

[0033] The vertical loading assembly 2 includes a vertical guide post 21 mounted vertically on the mounting platform 1, a loading plate 22 that cooperates with the vertical guide post 21, a top plate 23 mounted above the loading plate 22 and fixed to the vertical guide post 21, a loading force transmission plate 24 mounted at the bottom of the loading plate 22, and a vertical loading motor 25 mounted on the top plate 23 and connected to the loading plate 22. The upper cover of the air spring 100 is connected to the loading force transmission plate 24. The vertical loading motor 25 applies a vertical load to the loading plate 22 and transmits the load to the air spring 100 through the loading force transmission plate 24, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of the vertical loading of the air spring 100.

[0034] The above fully describes the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
