[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A suspension test mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixing device 10 and a loading device 20.

[0043] The fixing device 10 is installed on the mounting base and is used to install the suspension 30 to be tested. The loading device 20 is installed on the mounting base and keeps a certain distance from the fixing device 10. Among them, the suspension 30 has a load-bearing part 31 at both ends of its longitudinal direction, and the loading device 20 is used to connect with the two load-bearing parts 31 of the suspension 30. During the operation of the vehicle, in case of bumps or turns, the wheels will be subjected to a certain load, and the load will pass through the wheels and finally act on the suspension 30. To this end, after the suspension 30 is fixed on the fixing device 10, a certain load is applied to the load-bearing part 31 of the suspension through the loading device 20, so as to simulate the situation that the suspension 30 is subjected to load during the driving of the vehicle, and then the durability performance of the suspension 30 can be tested.

[0044] In order to more realistically simulate the loads that the suspension 30 is subjected to during actual use, the loading device 20 is configured to simultaneously apply loads to each load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 in one or more of the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction. In this way, in addition to being able to load the loads on the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 in three unilateral directions, namely, longitudinal, transverse, and vertical, the loads on the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 can also be simulated by simultaneously applying loads in multiple directions under complex conditions such as vehicle braking, turning, and rollover. In this way, the loads on the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 during actual vehicle driving can be simulated to the greatest extent, so as to improve the accuracy of the durability performance test of the suspension 30.

[0045] Specific to Figure 1 In the embodiment, the first direction is direction A, the second direction described below is direction B, and the third direction described below is direction C.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The load applied by the loading device 20 to each bearing portion 31 includes: three lateral loads parallel to the first direction, two vertical loads parallel to the second direction, and one longitudinal load parallel to the third direction.

[0047] When a lateral, longitudinal or vertical load needs to be applied to the bearing portion 31 , it is only necessary to select the corresponding lateral load, longitudinal load or vertical load.

[0048] When it is necessary to simulate the load on the bearing portion 31 when the vehicle turns, the three lateral loads can be used for simulation. Specifically, by adjusting the magnitudes of the three lateral loads, the bearing portion 31 is subjected to three lateral loads of different magnitudes, thereby simulating the load on the bearing portion 31 when the vehicle turns and the wheels deviate toward the inside or outside of the vehicle.

[0049] When it is necessary to simulate the braking of a vehicle, since the wheels will be subjected to the inertia force from the vehicle body and the friction force from the ground when the vehicle is braking, the load on the bearing portion 31 when the vehicle is braking can be simulated by applying a vertical load and a longitudinal load at the same time.

[0050] When it is necessary to simulate the vehicle rolling, since the weight of the vehicle will be concentrated on one of the wheels when the vehicle rolls, the two bearing parts 31 are subjected to vertical loads of different sizes to simulate the load on the bearing part 31 when the vehicle is braking.

[0051] In some embodiments, in order to provide a load to the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30, the loading device 20 includes a mounting seat 26 and at least one actuator 21 that can be extended and retracted along its longitudinal direction. The mounting seat 26 is installed on the mounting base, one end of the actuator 21 is connected to the mounting seat 26, and the other end is connected to one of the load-bearing portions 31, so that a load in one direction can be provided to the load-bearing portion 31 by extending and retracting one actuator 21.

[0052] In order to provide the above-mentioned lateral load, longitudinal load and vertical load on each load-bearing portion 31, the loading device 20 includes twelve actuators 21. Each load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 is connected to six actuators 21 to provide the above-mentioned three lateral loads, two vertical loads and one longitudinal load through the six actuators 21.

[0053] Specifically in the embodiment, in order to provide three lateral loads for each bearing portion 31 , the twelve actuators 21 include six lateral actuators 22 , and every three lateral actuators 22 are connected to one of the bearing portions 31 to provide three lateral loads for the bearing portion 31 .

[0054] In order to further improve the reliability of the simulation experiment of the suspension 30, three lateral actors 22 connected to each load-bearing portion 31 are arranged around the circumference of the load-bearing portion 31, and two of the lateral actors 22 are respectively located on both sides of the load-bearing portion 31 in the first direction. In this way, the load on the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 when the vehicle turns can be simulated by the two lateral actors 22 located on both sides of the load-bearing portion 31.

[0055] Specifically, the loads applied by the two lateral actuators 22 on both sides of the load-bearing portion 31 are inconsistent, so that when the vehicle turns, the loads on the left and right sides of the load-bearing portion 31 are inconsistent. Another lateral actuator 22 is located between the two lateral actuators 22 to simulate the situation that when the vehicle turns, the friction force on the bottom of the wheel is transmitted to the load-bearing portion 31.

[0056] Specifically in the embodiment, in order to provide two vertical loads for each bearing portion 31 , the twelve actuators 21 include four vertical actuators 24 , and every two vertical actuators 24 are connected to one of the bearing portions 31 and provide two vertical loads for the bearing portion 31 .

[0057] Among them, the two vertical actuators 24 connected to each load-bearing part 31 are respectively arranged on both sides of the load-bearing part 31 in the first direction, so that different loads are applied to the two sides of the load-bearing part 31 in the suspension 30 through the two vertical actuators 24, thereby simulating the situation where the loads on both sides of the load-bearing part 31 are inconsistent when the vehicle is braking.

[0058] Specifically in the embodiment, in order to provide a longitudinal load for each bearing portion 31 , the twelve actuators 21 further include two longitudinal actuators 23 , each of which is connected to one of the bearing portions 31 and provides a longitudinal load for the bearing portion 31 .

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to apply the load on the load-bearing part 31 of the suspension 30 more evenly, the loading device 20 also includes an adapter 25 and a plurality of fasteners 36. The suspension 30 includes an axle 33 and two wheel hubs 34. The axle 33 is longitudinally extended along a first direction and is connected to the fixing device 10. Each wheel hub 34 is installed on both ends of the axle 33 in the first direction and serves as the load-bearing part 31 of the suspension 30.

[0060] Among them, two adapters 25 correspond to two wheel hubs 34, each adapter 25 is connected to six actuators 21, and is connected to the corresponding wheel hub 34 through a plurality of fasteners 36 arranged circumferentially around the axis of the wheel hub 34. In order to simulate the load on the suspension 30 during vehicle movement as realistically as possible, the connection method between the adapter 25 and the wheel hub 34 is the same as the connection method between the wheel and the wheel hub 34, so that the load of the actuator 21 on the adapter 25 is equivalent to the load of the wheel during vehicle operation, so that the load transferred to the wheel hub 34 by the adapter 25 can be equivalent to the load transferred to the wheel hub 34 by the wheel.

[0061] Specifically in the embodiment, different types of suspensions 30 result in different hubs 34 of suspensions 30, and for this reason, the adapter 25 includes an adapter body 251 and a transition piece 252. The adapter body 251 is connected to the six actuators 21 and can be detachably connected to the transition piece 252, and the transition piece 252 is connected to the hub 34 of the suspension 30 through a plurality of fasteners 36. In this way, when it is necessary to test different types of suspensions 30, it is only necessary to replace the transition piece 252 with a type corresponding to the suspension 30, without replacing the adapter body 251, and without disassembling the adapter 25 and the actuator 21, saving time and effort.

[0062] Specifically in the embodiment, when one of the actuators 21 is actuated, the adapter 25 will be driven to move, and other actuators 21 connected to the adapter 25 will also move together. During the movement of other actuators 21, since the movement of the actuator 21 is not an extension and contraction along its own longitudinal direction, the actuator 21 will rotate relative to the mounting seat 26 during the movement, which may cause the actuator 21 to generate a bending moment, and then cause the actuator 21 to malfunction.

[0063] To this end, each actuator 21 is ball-connected to the mounting seat 26 or the adapter 25, so that even if the actuator 21 rotates relative to the mounting seat 26 during the following movement, it can be adjusted by ball connection to ensure that the actuator 21 is not subjected to bending moment, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the actuator 21.

[0064] For details in the embodiments, see Figure 5 In order to reduce the rotation range of the actuator 21 relative to the mounting seat 26, one or more actuators 21 include an actuator 221 and an extension member 222 that can be extended along their own longitudinal direction, one end of the actuator is connected to one end of the extension member 222, and the other end is connected to one of the bearing part 31 and the mounting seat 26, and the other end of the bearing part 31 and the mounting seat 26 is connected to the other end of the extension member 222.

[0065] In actual use, when one end of one of the actuators 21 moves with the other actuators 21, the other end of the actuator 21 will rotate relative to the mounting seat 26. If the length of the actuator 21 is increased, the rotation range of the other end of the actuator 21 relative to the mounting seat 26 will be reduced, and the bending moment of the actuator 21 as a whole will be reduced accordingly. In this way, the length of the actuator 21 is increased by the extension piece 222, so that the bending moment of the actuator 21 during the follow-up movement will be reduced, thereby further ensuring the normal operation of the actuator 21.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In addition to the axle 33 and the hubs 34 at both ends of the axle 33, the suspension 30 also includes a connector 35. In actual use, the axle 33 is connected to the vehicle frame through the connector 35. The load transmitted by the wheel will not only act on the axle 33, but also on the connector 35 located between the axle 33 and the frame. Therefore, in the durability test of the suspension 30, the durability of the connector 35 also needs to be tested.

[0067] To this end, on the basis that both ends of the axle 33 are connected to the loading device 20, one end of the connecting member 35 is connected to the axle 33, and the other end is connected to the fixing device 10, so that the connecting member 35 can also be subjected to the load from the loading device 20 during the test, thereby testing the durability of the connecting member 35.

[0068] In some embodiments, due to the inconsistency of the lengths of the various components in the connecting member 35, they cannot be uniformly fixed on the fixing device 10. To this end, the fixing device 10 includes a fixing body 11 installed on a mounting base and a fixing block 12 installed on the fixing body 11. The position of the fixing block 12 relative to the fixing body 11 in the second direction and the third direction is adjustable.

[0069] In this way, by adjusting the position of the fixing block 12 relative to the fixing body 11 , the fixing block 12 can be adjusted to a position suitable for fixing with the connecting member 35 , so that the fixing device 10 can be adapted to different connecting members 35 .

[0070] Specifically in the embodiment, an adjustment groove 13 extending longitudinally along a third direction is provided on the fixed body 11, and the fixed block 12 is movably provided on the fixed body 11 along the adjustment groove 13, so that the position of the fixed block 12 relative to the fixed body 11 can be adjusted by moving the fixed block 12 on the adjustment groove 13.

[0071] Furthermore, the adjustment slots 13 include a plurality of adjustment slots 13, all of which are arranged on the fixed body 11 at intervals along the second direction, and the fixed block 12 can be selectively installed on any one or more of the adjustment slots 13. In this way, the position of the fixed block 12 relative to the fixed body 11 can be adjusted by installing the fixed block 12 on different adjustment slots 13.

[0072] Optionally, the connecting member 35 is a component of the suspension 30 such as a stabilizer arm, a stabilizer bar, a shock absorber, etc., which is used to connect the axle 33 and the frame.

[0073] The above suspension test mechanism 100 has at least the following advantages:

[0074] The loading device 20 is configured to apply loads to each load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 in one or more directions of the first direction, the second direction and the third direction at the same time. In this way, in addition to being able to load the loads on the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 in three unilateral directions, namely, longitudinal, lateral and vertical, the loads on the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 can also be simulated by applying loads in multiple directions at the same time to simulate the loads on the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 under complex conditions such as vehicle braking, turning and roll, so that the loads on the load-bearing portion 31 of the suspension 30 can be simulated to the greatest extent in the actual vehicle driving process, so as to improve the accuracy of the durability performance test of the suspension 30.

[0075] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0076] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
