[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle rollover test protection system, including a base plate 1. An inclined plate 3 is hinged to the top of the base plate 1 via a shaft. An auxiliary plate 2 is bolted to one side of the base plate 1. Evenly distributed connecting blocks 6 are bolted to the top outer wall of the inclined plate 3. Hanging holes 7 are formed on one side outer wall of the connecting blocks 6. A stop block 4 is provided on the top of the inclined plate 3. A chain 5 is hung inside the hanging holes 7 of the connecting blocks 6. Two connection ports 27 are formed on one side outer wall of the stop block 4. One end of the chain 5 is located inside the connection port 27. An insertion interface 30 is formed on the top outer wall of the stop block 4, and a plug is inserted into the insertion interface 30. Connecting block 28 has a pin 31 integrally formed on the bottom outer wall. The top outer wall of the inclined plate 3 is hinged to an adjusting plate 11 via a shaft. A baffle 19 is provided on one side of the adjusting plate 11. An adjusting cylinder 12 is hinged between the auxiliary plate 2 and the adjusting plate 11 via a shaft. The top outer wall of the base plate 1 has an installation groove 8. A support cylinder 9 is hinged inside the installation groove 8 via a shaft. The output end of the support cylinder 9 is hinged to the inclined plate 3 via a shaft. An tilt sensor 26 is provided on the top of the inclined plate 3. A controller 32 is bolted to the top outer wall of the auxiliary plate 2. The tilt sensor 26 is electrically connected to the controller 32 via a wire.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, a base plate 1 is included. An inclined plate 3 is hinged to the top of the base plate 1 via a shaft. The vehicle to be tested is placed on the inclined plate 3, allowing the vehicle to tilt when the base plate 1 rotates. An auxiliary plate 2 is bolted to one side of the base plate 1. Evenly distributed connecting blocks 6 are bolted to the top outer wall of the inclined plate 3. Hanging holes 7 are formed on one side of the outer wall of the connecting blocks 6. A stop block 4 is provided on the top of the inclined plate 3 to block the vehicle's wheels. A chain 5 is hung inside the hanging holes 7 of the connecting blocks 6. Two connecting ports 27 are formed on one side of the outer wall of the stop block 4, with one end of the chain 5 located inside the connecting port 27. An insertion interface 30 is formed on the top outer wall of the stop block 4, and an insertion interface 30 is inserted inside the insertion interface 30. A plug-in block 28 is connected, and a pin 31 is integrally formed on the bottom outer wall of the plug-in block 28. When the pin 31 is plugged into the chain 5, the stop block 4 can block the wheels of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle under test from slipping severely. An adjusting plate 11 is hinged to the top outer wall of the inclined plate 3 via a shaft. A baffle 19 is provided on one side of the adjusting plate 11. An adjusting cylinder 12 is hinged between the auxiliary plate 2 and the adjusting plate 11 via a shaft. An installation groove 8 is opened on the top outer wall of the base plate 1. A support cylinder 9 is hinged to the inside of the installation groove 8 via a shaft. The output end of the support cylinder 9 is hinged to the inclined plate 3 via a shaft. An inclined sensor 26 is provided on the top of the inclined plate 3. The inclined sensor 26 is model ZCT1000ML-S230.

[0034] The top outer wall of the auxiliary plate 2 is bolted to a controller 32, model WEST P6100. The tilt sensor 26 is electrically connected to the controller 32 via a wire. The support cylinder 9 and the adjusting cylinder 12 are controlled by a hydraulic system. The controller 32 is connected to the relief valve of the hydraulic system, enabling the controller 32 to control the support cylinder 9 and the adjusting cylinder 12 to work. The tilt sensor 26 detects the tilt angle of the tilt plate 3 and transmits it to the controller 32 via an electrical signal, enabling the controller 32 to control the adjusting cylinder 12 to work. This ensures that the adjusting plate 11 remains perpendicular to the tilt plate 3 during the tilting process, which is more secure than directly fixing the adjusting plate 11 to the tilt plate 3. At the same time, the adjusting plate 11 can be placed parallel to the auxiliary plate 2, thereby reducing the space occupied.

[0035] The present invention provides a vehicle rollover protection system. The present invention utilizes the block 4 to prevent the vehicle from skidding, and the baffle 19 can block the vehicle when the block 4 is ineffective, thereby preventing accidents during the rollover test.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention, an installation plate 25 is welded to the top outer wall of the tilt plate 3, and the tilt sensor 26 is connected to the installation plate 25 by bolts, so that the tilt sensor 26 is fixed to the installation plate 25.

[0037] In another embodiment of the present invention, a housing 13 is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the adjusting plate 11, and two threaded sleeves 14 are connected between the two inner walls of the housing 13 by bearings. Two screws 15 are welded to one side of the outer wall of the baffle 19, and the two screws 15 are threaded to the threaded sleeves 14 respectively, so that when the two threaded sleeves 14 rotate synchronously, they can drive the baffle 19 to move.

[0038] In another embodiment of the present invention, a worm 17 is connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the housing 13 by a bearing, and a worm wheel 16 is welded to the outside of the screw sleeve 14. The worm 17 meshes with the worm wheel 16, and the rotation of the worm 17 drives the two worm wheels 16 to rotate synchronously, so that the two worm wheels 16 drive the two screw sleeves 14 to rotate synchronously.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present invention, a buffer layer 20 is adhered to one side of the outer wall of the baffle 19. The buffer layer 20 is made of rubber and serves as a buffer to prevent the tested vehicle from directly colliding with the baffle 19.

[0040] In another embodiment of the present invention, a pull ring 29 is welded to the top outer wall of the plug block 28, and the pin 31 is adapted to the chain 5 so that the pin 31 can be inserted into the inside of the chain 5, and the plug block 28 can be easily pulled out through the pull ring 29.

[0041] In another embodiment of the present invention, an anti-rollover device 10 is attached inside the hanging hole 7 of the connecting block 6. The anti-rollover device 10 includes a steel wire rope 21 and is connected to the wheel hub of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from skidding.

[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, a connecting ring 22 is welded to one end of the wire rope 21, and a stud 23 is welded to the end of the wire rope 21 away from the connecting ring 22. The stud 23 is adapted to the connecting ring 22. In use, the stud 23 is inserted into the inside of the connecting ring 22. Two adjusting nuts 24 are threadedly connected to the outside of the stud 23. The adjusting nuts 24 are threadedly connected to the stud 23, so that the adjusting nuts 24 can block the connecting ring 22, thereby allowing the wire rope 21 to be hooked with the hanging hole 7 of the connecting block 6.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present invention, a handwheel 18 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the housing 13 via a bearing. One end of the connecting shaft of the handwheel 18 is connected to the worm gear 17 via a spline. The handwheel 18 facilitates the rotation of the worm gear 17, which in turn drives the worm wheel 16 and the screw sleeve 14 to rotate. This allows the screw sleeve 14 to move the protective plate via the screw 15, thereby adjusting the distance between the protective plate and the vehicle under test, making it more convenient to park the vehicle under test.

[0044] In another embodiment of the present invention, the chain 5 is made of stainless steel, which makes the chain 5 have better tensile strength, and the screw 15 is made of nitrided steel, which makes the threads of the screw 15 less prone to deformation.

[0045] Working principle: When a roll test is required, the vehicle to be tested is driven onto the tilt plate 3, with the vehicle body parallel to the baffle 19. When the rollover device needs to be installed, the steel wire rope 21 is threaded onto the vehicle's wheel hub, and one end of the stud 23 is inserted into the connecting ring 22. Then, the adjusting nut 24 is threaded onto the stud 23, so that the steel wire rope 21 is hooked into the hanging hole 7 of the connecting block 6. When the anti-skid device needs to be installed, one end of the chain 5 is hooked into the hanging hole 7 of the connecting block 6, and the stop block 4 is positioned on the tilted side of the vehicle, with a 2cm gap between the stop block 4 and the vehicle's tire. The plug block 28 is pulled out from the plug interface 30 of the stop block 4 through the pull ring 29, and the chain 5 is connected to the connecting port 27. Pulling the internal mechanism of the chain 5 fully unfolds it. Then, the plug block 28 is re-inserted into the plug interface 30 of the stop block 4, so that the pin 31 is inserted into the chain 5. Then, the worm gear 17 is rotated by the handwheel 18, so that the worm gear 17 drives the worm wheel 16 to rotate, so that the worm wheel 16 drives the screw 15 to one end, thereby bringing the baffle 19 closer to the vehicle body, so that the distance between the baffle 19 and the vehicle body is 2cm. At this time, the support cylinder 9 is activated, so that the support cylinder 9 supports and lifts one side of the tilt plate 3, so that the tilt plate 3 tilts. At the same time, the tilt sensor 26 detects the tilt angle of the tilt plate 3 and transmits it to the controller 32, so that the controller 32 controls the oil supply of the regulating cylinder, so that the baffle 19 can rotate with the rotation of the tilt plate 3.

[0046] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
