[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric drive axle running-in tooling, and in particular to a load-movable electric drive axle assembly running-in bench. Background Art
[0002] Before the electric drive axle assembly is produced and shipped out of the factory, it is necessary to conduct a running-in test to simulate the actual vehicle working conditions to detect the various functional performances of the assembly. There are two conventional electric drive axle testing methods. One is that the load assembly is directly locked on the cast iron platform with T-bolts. If the electric drive axle assembly needs to be loaded and unloaded, the load assembly bolts need to be manually loosened and moved to both sides. After the electric drive axle assembly is installed, the load assembly is moved inward to assemble the hub of the bridge into the hub adapter tooling. The other method is to fix the load assemblies on both sides. Before installation, the hub adapter tooling on both sides needs to be locked on the bridge hub in advance outside the test bench, and then the bridge is installed on the test bench and connected to the universal shaft.
[0003] The clamping and disassembly efficiencies of the above two test methods are not high, and both require manpower to install the hub adapter tooling, which has high manpower costs. Summary of the invention

[0031] During specific implementation: the load fixed base assembly includes a load translation plate 1-4, a load first fixed base 1-5, a load second fixed base 1-6, and a plurality of T-shaped bolts and nuts 1-7. The load base plate 1-1 is provided with upwardly convex T-shaped hard rails 1-3 at both ends of the width relative to the load translation plate 1-4.

[0037] Working principle and process:
[0038] The status of this device before the bridge is installed: the T-bolts and nuts 1-7 on the mobile load component 1 are loosened, and the rodless cylinder 1-2 drives the mobile load component 1 and the hub tooling lifting component 2 to be in the outermost state of the test bench. At this time, the empty space in the middle of the test bench can be used to lift the electric drive axle to the electric drive axle fixed base 3 with the bolts and nuts locked.
[0039] The state of this device during bridge installation: through the operation of the button of the external electric control box, the rodless cylinder 1-2 is controlled to move toward the center of the test stand until the hub adapter 5 is inserted into the limit position of the electric drive bridge hub. Due to the deviation of the external dimensions of different bridges, the center height and the hub adapter are different. When the hub adapter 5 is about to be inserted into the electric drive bridge hub, the lifting cylinder 2-3 can be controlled to rise or fall through the button of the external electric control box so that it can be inserted into the hub smoothly. Use nuts to lock and fix the hub adapter 5 and the electric drive bridge hub, and tighten the T-bolt nuts 1-7 on the load translation plate 1-4.
[0040] The state of this device during the bridge running-in: through the button operation of the external electric control box, the lifting cylinder 2-3 is controlled to descend to the lowest position to ensure that the supporting V-shaped support 2-6 does not contact the wheel hub adapter tooling 5, so as not to hinder the rotation of the wheel hub during the subsequent bridge running-in.
[0041] After the bridge running-in is completed, the disassembly steps are as follows: through the buttons of the external electric control box, control the lifting cylinder 2-3 to rise and support the hub adapter 5, loosen the nut of the hub to loosen the hub adapter 5 from the electric drive bridge hub. Loosen the T-shaped bolts and nuts 1-7 on the load translation plate 1-4, and through the buttons of the external electric control box, control the rodless cylinder 1-2 to move to both sides of the test bench until the hub adapter 5 is separated from the electric drive bridge hub. Loosen the bolts and nuts between the electric drive bridge and the electric drive bridge fixed base, and use a crane to lift the electric drive bridge away from the running-in test bench.

[0043] The cast iron platform is fixed to the ground by expansion bolts, the load base plate 1-1 is fixed to the surface of the cast iron platform by T-bolts and nuts, and the rodless cylinder 1-2 and the T-hard rail 1-3 are bolted to the load base plate 1-1. The load translation plate 1-4 is fixed to the slider of the rodless cylinder 1-2 by bolts, and there is sliding friction between the load translation plate 1-4 and the T-hard rail 1-3. The load fixed base 11-5 and the load fixed base 21-6 are fixed to the load translation plate 1-4 by bolts, and the load assembly 6 is fixed to the load fixed base by bolts.

The load translation plate 1-4 and the support translation plate 2-2 are both bolted to the connecting seat 2-9, and the connecting rod 2-7 is bolted between the connecting seats 2-9.
[0045] Beneficial effects: The horizontal linear drive mechanism is used to drive the load assembly components on both sides to move, which facilitates the installation of the electric drive axle assembly before the bench running-in test and the disassembly after the test; and the lifting cylinder is used to support the hub adapter tooling, which provides auxiliary support before installation and descends during running-in without affecting the running-in rotation; it improves the efficiency of clamping and disassembly operations, and there is no need to install the hub adapter tooling in advance, saving manpower.
