[0015] Those skilled in the art can understand that the foregoing test device for the hanging trailer car has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1、By setting the protruding parts on the main support of the traction part, the load bearing plate covering the main support also adapts to the shape of the main support, when the trailer car needs to be tested, the trailer car can enter the test space surrounded by the frame and the base, and be carried by the load bearing plate, so that the traction device is fixedly connected with the front end of the trailer car, and then the conveyor belt is started, because the trailer car is pulled by the traction device, the relative movement between the trailer car and the conveyor belt can simulate the on-road situation of the trailer car, in the process of rotation of the traction part, the protruding parts on the traction part are in contact with the wheels of the trailer car at intervals, so as to simulate and test the overall stability of the trailer car in the bumpy state, at the same time, the water pump supplies water to the spray head through the water supply pipe, the spray head sprays water to the trailer car, and the fan blows air to the trailer car through the air supply opening, so as to test the wind and rain resistance of the trailer car in the face of windy and rainy weather, thereby multiple tests of the trailer car can be carried out on the test device at one time, the test efficiency of the trailer car is greatly improved, and the labor and material costs are saved. Moreover, because the structures for connecting with external towing vehicles of different models of trailer cars are different, by setting the first pivot rod, the second pivot rod, the third pivot rod and the fourth pivot rod, and setting the first clamping part on part of the adapter and the second clamping part on another part of the adapter, the left clamping part and the right clamping part of the first clamping part are convenient for clamping the rod-shaped structure in the vertical plane, the upper clamping part and the lower clamping part of the second clamping part are convenient for clamping the rod-shaped structure in the horizontal plane, when the connection structure of the trailer car to be tested has a vertical rod-shaped structure, the first clamping part can be adjusted to the appropriate position by rotating the first pivot rod, the second pivot rod, the third pivot rod and the fourth pivot rod, and then the left clamping part and the right clamping part clamp the vertical rod-shaped structure, when the connection structure of the trailer car to be tested has a horizontal rod-shaped structure, the second clamping part can be adjusted to the appropriate position by rotating the first pivot rod, the second pivot rod, the third pivot rod and the fourth pivot rod, and then the upper clamping part and the lower clamping part clamp the horizontal rod-shaped structure, so that the traction device of the test device can adapt to multiple models of trailer cars, and the test device can test multiple models of trailer cars, which is beneficial to improve the test efficiency.

[0019] 3、By setting the fixed part and the movable part, the movable part can move relative to the fixed part under the pulling of the house car during the testing process of the house car until the maximum moving distance is reached, so that the traction device pulls the house car. When the conveyor belt stops, the house car will move a distance under the inertia, so that the movable part retracts, thereby simulating the moving distance of the house car under inertia after braking according to the moving amount of the movable part to calculate the impact on the towing vehicle during the actual operation of the house car.

[0020] Further, by setting the scale on the fixed part, the moving amount of the house car can be more conveniently read out.

[0021] 4、By setting the force measuring device between the movable part and the traction wall, the force measuring device can monitor the pulling force received by the house car during the testing process of the house car, so as to obtain the relationship between the speed of the house car and the traction force, thereby providing more reference information for the user, so that the user can select a suitable house car according to his own vehicle.

[0022] 5、By setting the infrared distance measuring device on the traction wall, the moving amount of the house car can be better detected, and the distance measuring device can be connected in communication with a receiving end instrument such as a computer, so as to more conveniently collect information.

[0023] 6、By setting the guide member on the testing device, the house car can be conveniently moved to the base along the inclined surface of the guide member, thereby improving the testing efficiency.

[0024] 7、By setting the frame as a telescopic structure, the frame can be retracted when rain test is not performed, thereby facilitating observation of other test conditions of the house car.

[0025] 8、By making the frame of transparent material, the condition of the house car in the test space can be conveniently observed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0047] It should be noted that, Figure 4 The adapter 32 is only an example, and the traction device 3 of the embodiment can be provided with more than four adapters 32, and ensure that the left and right sides are provided with adapters 32 with the first clamping piece 325 and adapters 32 with the second clamping piece 326.

[0048] Referring to Figures 2 to 3As shown, further, the connecting rod 31 comprises a fixed part 311 and a movable part 312, the fixed part 311 is fixedly connected with the traction wall 12, and the movable part 312 can move away from or close to the traction wall 12 relative to the fixed part 311. As an embodiment, the fixed part 311 and the movable part 312 are both cylindrical structures, the diameter of the movable part 312 is smaller than that of the fixed part 311, the movable part 312 is embedded inside the fixed part 311 and can move along the axial direction of the fixed part 311 inside the fixed part 311, but the movable part 312 cannot be taken out of the fixed part 311; as another embodiment, the fixed part 311 can be two side walls, and the rod-shaped movable part 312 is clamped in the middle, so that the movable part 312 moves in the clamping channel formed between the two side walls. Therefore, during the test of the motor home 4, the motor home 4 will pull the movable part 312 to the maximum movement under the driving of the conveyor belt 11, at this time, the traction device 3 will pull the motor home 4 tightly, the pulling force of the traction device 3 on the motor home 4 simulates the pulling force of the towing vehicle that the motor home 4 actually drives, and after the conveyor belt 11 stops, the motor home 4 will move a distance under the inertia, so that the movable part 312 retracts, so as to simulate the moving distance of the motor home under the inertia after braking according to the movement of the movable part 312, so as to calculate the impact on the towing vehicle that the motor home actually runs.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2 , further, the traction wall 12 is provided with an infrared distance measuring device 13, which can monitor the distance between the motor home 4 and the traction wall 12, and the infrared distance measuring device 13 can be connected in communication with an external computer or other receiving end to transmit the collected data to the computer, so as to better detect and collect the movement information of the motor home 4. Although not shown in the figure, a force measuring device is arranged between the movable part 312 and the traction wall 12, one end of the force measuring device is fixed to the traction wall 12, and the other end is connected with the movable part 312 through a pulling rope, the length of the pulling rope is smaller than the movement distance of the movable part 312, that is, the movable part 312 will be pulled by the pulling rope and cannot reach the maximum movement distance, so that the pulling rope can be pulled tightly to obtain the detection result, and the force measuring device can monitor the pulling force during the test of the motor home 4, so as to roughly obtain the relationship between the speed of the motor home and the traction force, and further provide more reference information for the user, so that the user can select a suitable motor home according to his own vehicle. Similarly, the force measuring device can also be connected in communication with a computer or other receiving end, so as to transmit the collected data to the computer in real time.

[0050] Referring to Figure 2As shown, the frame 2 is provided with a plurality of spray heads 21, and the base 1 is provided with a water storage cavity 14, which is arranged at the bottom of the conveying belt 11. The frame 2 is internally provided with a water conveying pipe (not shown in the figure), and the water storage cavity 14 and the spray head 21 are communicated through the water conveying pipe. A water pump (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the conveying path of the water conveying pipe. Before testing, water is first filled in the water storage cavity 14. During testing, the water pump can convey the water in the water storage cavity 14 to the spray head 21. After the spray head 21 sprays water to the RV 4, the water will flow along the RV 4 to the conveying belt 11 and then flow into the water storage cavity 14, thereby forming a water circulation, thereby reducing the amount of water used for testing and improving the utilization efficiency of water resources. The inner wall of the frame 2 is further provided with a plurality of air supply ports 22, which are communicated with a fan (not shown in the figure) to blow air to the RV.

[0051] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, the spray head 21 can spray water to the RV 4, and the air supply port 22 can blow air to the RV 4, so as to test the use of the RV 4 in rainy and windy weather and check the rain and windproof function of the RV 4. Preferably, the spray head 21 and the air supply port 22 are arranged on the top wall and the two side walls of the frame 2.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 1 is further provided with a guide member 15 arranged at the end of the base 1 away from the traction wall 12. The guide member 15 is provided with an inclined surface to facilitate the movement of the RV 4 along the inclined surface to the conveying belt 11.

[0053] Preferably, the frame 2 of the embodiment is a telescopic structure. Specifically, the frame 2 comprises a plurality of rigid parts and flexible parts arranged between the rigid parts. The rigid parts are movably mounted on the base 1. The flexible parts between the adjacent two rigid parts can be compressed when the two rigid parts are close to each other, thereby realizing telescoping, so that the frame 2 can be retracted when not performing rain test, thereby facilitating the observation of other test conditions of the RV. Alternatively, preferably, the frame 2 is made of transparent material, which can also facilitate the observation of the conditions in the test space.

[0054] In combination with Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the use of the test device, first, the house car 4 is pulled onto the conveyor belt 11 along the inclined surface of the guide member 15 by means of a cable and the like, and according to the specific structure of the connecting portion of the house car 4, the first pivot rod 321, the second pivot rod 322, the third pivot rod 323, and the fourth pivot rod 324 are adjusted so that the first clamping piece 325 or the second clamping piece 326 moves to a position capable of clamping the connecting structure, and the first clamping piece 325 or the second clamping piece 326 clamps the house car, and the front end of the house car 4 is connected together with the traction device 3, at this time, the conveyor belt 11 is started, and after the house car 4 moves with the conveyor belt 11 for a period of time, the movable portion 312 is stretched to the maximum moving distance, so that the house car 4 is pulled, and then the house car 4 moves forward relative to the conveyor belt 11, so as to test the driving condition of the house car 4, during which the wheels of the house car 4 bump against the protruding portions on the conveyor belt 11 to cause the house car 4 to jolt, and the force measuring device transmits the pulling force received by the house car 4 to the computer receiving end in real time. Then the conveyor belt 11 is suddenly stopped, and the house car 4 retracts the movable portion 312 by one end distance under the inertia, and the infrared distance measuring device 13 collects the distance change between the house car 4 and the traction wall 12 and sends it to the computer receiving end. And after the water pump is started, the water pump delivers water in the water storage cavity 14 to the spray head 21, and the spray head 21 sprays water to the house car 4, so as to test the rainproof ability of the house car 4, and then the water flows back to the water storage cavity 14, and the cycle is repeated. The opened air blower blows air to the house car 4 through the air outlet 22, so as to test the windproof ability of the house car 4.

[0055] The skilled in the art can understand that, by arranging the protrusions on the traction member 113, when the motor home needs to be tested, the motor home can enter the test space surrounded by the frame and the base, and be carried by the carrying plate, so that the traction device 3 is fixedly connected with the front end of the motor home, and then the conveyor belt is started. Because the motor home is pulled by the traction device 3, the motor home can be tested by the relative movement between the motor home and the conveyor belt 11 to simulate the road test of the motor home. During the rotation of the traction member 113, the protrusions on the traction member 113 are arranged to be in contact with the wheels of the motor home at intervals, so as to simulate and test the overall stability of the motor home in the bumpy state. At the same time, the water pump supplies water to the spray head 21 through the water supply pipe, and the spray head 21 sprays water to the motor home, and the fan blows air to the motor home through the air outlet 22, so as to test the wind and rain resistance of the motor home in the face of windy and rainy weather. Thus, the motor home can be tested on the test equipment at one time, which greatly improves the test efficiency of the motor home and saves the cost of manpower and material resources. Moreover, because the structures for connecting with external traction vehicles of different models of motor homes are different, by arranging the first pivot rod 321, the second pivot rod 322, the third pivot rod 323 and the fourth pivot rod 324, and arranging the first clamping member 325 and the second clamping member 326, when the connecting structure of the tested motor home has a rod-shaped structure arranged in a vertical plane, the first clamping member 325 can be adjusted to a suitable position by rotating the first pivot rod 321, the second pivot rod 322, the third pivot rod 323 and the fourth pivot rod 324, and then the left clamping part 3251 and the right clamping part 3252 can clamp the rod-shaped structure. When the connecting structure of the tested motor home has a rod-shaped structure arranged in a horizontal plane, the second clamping member 326 can be adjusted to a suitable position by rotating the first pivot rod 321, the second pivot rod 322, the third pivot rod 323 and the fourth pivot rod 324, and then the upper clamping part 3261 and the lower clamping part 3262 can clamp the rod-shaped structure. Moreover, the first pivot rod 321 and the fourth pivot rod 324 can help the clamping member to avoid obstacles between the clamped structure and the traction device 3, so that the traction device 3 of the test equipment can adapt to motor homes of various models, and thus the test equipment can test motor homes of various models, which is beneficial to improve the test efficiency.

The collected water can be used for testing the motor home again, which can improve the utilization efficiency of water resources to a certain extent and save water resources.
