[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the carbon fiber front fork and wheel hub disc brake fatigue test machine is carried out During the tilt angle fatigue test, the second angle fixing plate 35 is connected to the vertical moving plate 4, and the second angle fixing plate 35 is fixed to the short right-angle side of the first angle fixing plate 34.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the comprehensive test unit determines the force direction of the fatigue test, the horizontal tension value, the vertical force value, the test frequency, and the initial test displacement in the test according to the test process. When the heating base is heated, the indicator light connected to the heating tube lights up. When the real-time temperature detected by the K-type thermocouple of the fatigue comprehensive test unit reaches the preset temperature, a start command is input into the comprehensive test unit, and the comprehensive test unit performs a fatigue test to control the test cylinder 21 to start extending and retracting force.

[0036] During the actual test, the detection frequency does not exceed 10Hz, and the maximum load frequency is less than or equal to 25Hz. The initial test displacement refers to the displacement of the front fork in the unloaded state before the test begins. If the offset (peak to peak value) at the test load application point exceeds 20% of its initial test displacement for a rigid front fork and 40% of the initial test displacement for a suspension front fork during the test, the displacement of the front fork deformation is judged. The load borne on the load bearing device according to the type of bicycle is shown in Table 1, in N.
[0037] Table 1 Bike type City Touring Bikes Youth Bicycles Mountain Bike Racing car Force, F6 ±450 ±450 ±650 ±620 Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of test runs is input in the comprehensive test unit. When the carbon fiber front fork and hub disc brake fatigue testing machine is tested at a preset frequency and a determined horizontal tension value and a vertical force value, the number of test runs is reduced by one each time it is completed until the number of test runs is zero or the travel switch of the test cylinder 21 detects that the travel of the test cylinder is at the maximum value. The fatigue comprehensive test unit controls the carbon fiber front fork and hub disc brake fatigue testing machine to shut down as a whole.
[0038] The carbon fiber front fork and wheel hub disc brake fatigue testing machine with heating function will automatically issue a command to indicate shutdown after reaching the set test times, and will automatically issue a command to indicate shutdown after the specimen is destroyed. That is: (1) After reaching the set value, the computer continuously updates the current number value and compares it with the set number value in real time. When the current number is greater than or equal to the set number, it stops outputting and stops counting. (2) After the specimen is destroyed, the test cylinder will be pushed to the bottom, and after the travel switch detects the signal, it will be fed back to the computer, and the computer will trigger shutdown.
[0039] Testing principle of the testing machine: After the front fork is installed and fixed, install the heating base to the fixing hole of the disc gate, enter the required temperature value in the control panel, click the start button on the control panel, the heating indicator light will light up, the equipment will start heating, after heating to the specified temperature, click the start button on the control panel to perform fatigue test, the test cylinder starts to extend and retract force, the sensor provides real-time feedback, the computer controls the reversing valve to switch back and forth, the computer adjusts the proportional valve air pressure, the whole process forms a closed-loop control until the set force value is reached, the counting is started, the machine stops when the set number of times is reached, the front fork is removed, and the entire front fork is visually inspected to see if there is any breakage.
[0040] The input content of the comprehensive test unit in the carbon fiber front fork and wheel hub brake fatigue testing machine with heating function is as follows: (1) Test type: tension, compression; (2) First control force, second control force: the test sets the control force value, the first control force is the horizontal force, and the second control force is the vertical force; (3) Number of tests: set the number of test runs; (4) Test frequency: set the machine test frequency; (5) Number of allowable errors: during the test, the peak and valley values recorded by the comprehensive test unit continuously exceed the statistical accuracy range, and the machine will automatically shut down when the set number of times is reached; (6) Force drop percentage: during the test, when the change in the peak and valley values decreases to the set percentage, the comprehensive test unit automatically determines the shutdown protection, that is, the shutdown logic after the above-mentioned specimen is destroyed; the statistical accuracy is set according to the standard requirements with (0 ~ +5)% of the set value as the upper and lower limits. For example, if 1000N is set, the range (1000 ~ 1050) N, range 1000 times; during operation, if the collected force value is continuously less than or greater than the set value range for 1000 times, the comprehensive test unit will stop. If the collected force value is normal for the 1000th time after 999 consecutive failures, the comprehensive test unit will reset the statistical accuracy count and continue to work; (7) Measure the displacement at the front fork shaft. After installing the front fork, the comprehensive test unit records the initial displacement and resets it. After the fatigue test is completed, the displacement is measured again. This value is the deformation of the front fork. After executing the test, the comprehensive test unit automatically adjusts the pressure value of the cylinder force through the proportional valve and the force sensor so that the error between the test display load and the set load is within the allowable range.
[0041] The carbon fiber front fork and wheel disc brake fatigue testing machine with heating function can perform fatigue tests accurately and efficiently under different test conditions to ensure the reliability of the test results and the safety of the product. The cylinder vibration control cylinder can respond to the control signal quickly to achieve fast start and stop. It is suitable for high-frequency vibration fatigue testing processes and adjusts the cylinder's motion parameters, such as frequency and amplitude, in real time to ensure precise control of test conditions.
