[0074] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings. Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below. It should be noted that, in order to provide a concise description of these embodiments, this specification cannot provide a detailed description of all features of the actual embodiments.
[0075] refer to Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the present invention provides a tire testing main loading device, including a mounting frame 100, a loading head 1 mounted on the mounting frame 100, a main loading mechanism 2 and a yaw mechanism 3, and a tilting mechanism 4 for driving the mounting frame 100 to swing the loading head 1, the main loading mechanism 2 and the yaw mechanism 3. The loading head 1 is used to mount the tire 01 to be tested. The loading head 1 is drivenly connected to the main loading mechanism 2. The main loading mechanism 2 is used to drive the loading head 1 to move up and down. The yaw mechanism 3 is used to drive the loading head 1 to rotate horizontally.
[0076] refer to Figures 1 to 2As shown, in practical applications, the tire under test 01 is an aircraft tire. The tire under test 01 is mounted on the loading head 1. Corresponding pressure and temperature sensors are installed on the tire under test 01 to monitor its pressure and temperature in real time. The main loading mechanism 2 drives the loading head 1 to move up and down, thereby reducing or increasing the longitudinal load on the tire under test 01 and controlling the vertical pressure on the tire under test 01. This simulates the pressure on the tire under test 01 during aircraft landing, making it close to the working conditions of aircraft tires in actual operation, thus achieving the loading test on the tire under test 01. A yaw mechanism 3 is used... The loading head 1 is driven to rotate horizontally, resulting in a yaw control angle of -45° to 45° and a control rate of 5° to 20° / s. The yaw mechanism 3 and the main loading mechanism 2 can be used separately to test the aircraft tire 01 under pressure or yaw conditions. Alternatively, the yaw mechanism 3 and the main loading mechanism 2 can be used simultaneously to simulate aircraft landing with the aircraft tire in a yaw state, satisfying the simulation test requirements for different aircraft tire attitudes and improving the testing accuracy of the tire 01. A tilting mechanism 4 drives the mounting bracket 100 to move the loading head 1, the main loading mechanism 2, and the yaw mechanism 3. The oscillation mechanism causes the test tire 01 to oscillate back and forth, with a roll control angle of -20° to 20° and a control rate of 5° / s, thus achieving the roll test of the test tire 01. Through the main loading mechanism 2, yaw mechanism 3, and roll mechanism 4, multi-channel large load collaborative loading and coupling control are achieved to simulate different roll angles of aircraft tires during takeoff, different roll angles of the aircraft fuselage during landing, and different roll angles and yaws of aircraft during land taxiing and turning. This tire test main loading device is used to simulate aircraft catapult takeoff, ski-jump takeoff, carrier landing, roll, yaw, and abort. The test bench can accurately evaluate the mechanical, dynamic, braking response, and friction coefficient characteristics of aircraft tires under extreme conditions such as takeoff and other extreme conditions. It solves the technical problems of high-load and high-acceleration tire testing in China, fills the gap in high-acceleration testing technology for aircraft tires in China, provides accurate testing methods for the research on the characteristics of new synthetic rubber materials and other natural rubber tires, and provides technical support for the establishment of domestic standards for aircraft tire design, verification, and testing. The test bench has already conducted thousands of tire tests and will make an important contribution to solving the national aircraft tire project.
[0077] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the tilting mechanism 4 includes a tilting frame 41 and a tilting drive mechanism 42. The tilting drive mechanism 42 is connected to the tilting frame 41 and is drivenly connected to the mounting frame 100. The tilting drive mechanism 42 is used to drive the mounting frame 100 to swing, so that the loading head 1 swings.
[0078] In practical applications, the mounting bracket 100 is driven to swing by the tilt drive mechanism 42, which in turn drives the loading head 1, the main loading mechanism 2 and the yaw mechanism 3 to swing, so that the tire under test 01 swings, simulating the tilt test of an aircraft tire. Specifically, the tilt drive mechanism 42 can be a hydraulic cylinder.
[0079] refer to Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the tilt mechanism 4 further includes a tilt locking assembly 43, which includes a tilt separation plate 431, a connecting plate 432 mounted on the mounting bracket 100, a locking member 433 for locking the tilt separation plate 431 to the connecting plate 432, and a fixing member 434 for locking the tilt separation plate 431 to the tilt frame 41.
[0080] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in practical applications, the tilt locking assembly 43 can be set into two sets, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the swing center of the mounting frame 100 to improve the connection stability of the mounting frame 100. When it is necessary to lock the tilt frame 41 and the tilt separation plate 431, the locking of the tilt separation plate 431 and the connecting plate 432 is first released by the locking member 433, and then the fixing member 434 is used to lock the tilt frame 41 and the tilt separation plate 431, so that the tilt separation plate 431 is in contact with the tilt frame 41.
[0081] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the gap between the roll separation plate 431 and the roll frame 41 is successfully eliminated, making the roll separation plate 431 and the roll frame 41 tightly connected. The mounting bracket 100 is stably locked to the roll frame 41 by the roll separation plate 431, preventing the mounting bracket 100 and the roll frame 41 from shaking and improving the locking stability of the mounting bracket 100. When it is necessary to start the adjustment from the locked state, first release the lock between the roll frame 41 and the roll separation plate 431 by the fastener 434, and then use the locking element 433. Locking the tilt separation plate 431 and the connecting plate 432 together creates a gap between the tilt separation plate 431 and the tilt frame 41, and makes the tilt separation plate 431 fit against the connecting plate 432. By changing the position of the tilt separation plate 431, a space is provided between the mounting frame 100 and the tilt frame 41 to allow for smooth swinging, preventing friction between the tilt frame 41 and the mounting frame 100 during the tilting process, reducing the impact of friction on the tilting process, and ensuring the accuracy of the tilting test.
[0082] refer to Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the tilt locking assembly 43 further includes a tilt guide post 435. The tilt separation plate 431 is provided with a tilt mating hole 4311. The tilt guide post 435 extends into the tilt mating hole 4311 and mates with the tilt mating hole 4311. The tilt frame 41 is provided with a tilt guide hole 411. Both the locking member 433 and the tilt guide post 435 can pass through the tilt guide hole 411. When the mounting frame 100 tilts and swings, the tilt guide post 435 moves along the tilt guide hole 411, smoothly guiding the tilt of the mounting frame 100.
[0083] refer to Figure 3 , 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the tilt frame 41 is provided with a plurality of tilt locking holes 412, and the tilt separation plate 431 is provided with a plurality of separation locking holes 4312. The fixing member 434 passes through the tilt locking holes 412 and the separation locking holes 4312 to lock the tilt frame 41 and the tilt separation plate 431. The tilt locking assembly 43 also includes a detection switch 436, which is connected to the connecting plate 432. The detection switch 436 is used to detect the gap between the tilt separation plate 431 and the connecting plate 432 before the mounting frame 100 tilts. When the detection switch 436 detects that there is no gap between the tilt separation plate 431 and the connecting plate 432, it indicates that the fixing member 434 has released the locking of the tilt frame 41 and the tilt separation plate 431, and the locking member 433 has locked the tilt separation plate 431 and the connecting plate 432 to prevent the tilt frame 41 and the tilt separation plate 431 from being locked in a locked state. If there is no gap between the tilt separation plate 431 and the tilt frame 41, friction will occur between the tilt separation plate 431 and the tilt frame 41, which could cause the equipment to be damaged by force or fail to start, making the operation of the equipment more reliable.
[0084] refer to Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the main loading device for tire testing further includes a loading adjustment mechanism 5, which is connected to the loading head 1. The loading adjustment mechanism 5 includes a loading adjustment frame 51, a loading adjustment drive mechanism 52, a loading locking assembly 53, and an adjusting pad 54. The loading adjustment frame 51 is drivenly connected to the main loading mechanism 2. The loading adjustment drive mechanism 52 is used to adjust the space between the loading adjustment frame 51 and the loading head 1 to increase or decrease the installation of the adjusting pad 54. The loading locking assembly 53 is used to lock the loading adjustment frame 51, the adjusting pad 54, and the loading head 1 to eliminate the gap between them.
[0085] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in practical applications, the installation space between the loading adjustment frame 51 and the loading head 1 is adjusted by the loading adjustment drive mechanism 52, thereby adjusting the number of adjustment pads 54 installed in the installation space, and thus adjusting the installation height of the loading head 1 to accommodate the installation of tires 01 of different sizes and models. The loading locking assembly 53 is used to lock the loading adjustment frame 51, one or more adjustment pads 54 and the loading head 1 to eliminate the gap between the loading adjustment frame 51, the adjustment pads 54 and the loading head 1, so as to make its structure stable and facilitate the transmission of force.
[0086] refer to Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the main loading device for tire testing also includes a force measuring platform 6. The input end of the force measuring platform 6 is driven and connected to the main loading mechanism 2; the output end of the force measuring platform 6 is driven and connected to the loading adjustment frame 51. In practical applications, the main loading mechanism 2 uses a hydraulic cylinder. The main loading mechanism 2 drives the force measuring platform 6, the loading adjustment frame 51, and the loading head 1 to move up and down, thereby increasing or decreasing the load on the tire under test 01. The force measuring platform 6 measures the load applied by the main loading mechanism 2. The force measuring platform 6 can use a three-component force sensor or a six-component force sensor. Specifically, a protective cover can be installed between the force measuring platform 6 and the loading head 1 to isolate the loading head 1 and the force measuring platform 6, preventing residue generated during the loading test from splashing onto the force measuring platform 6, thus ensuring experimental safety.
[0087] In this embodiment, the loading locking assembly 53 uses screws and nuts, and multiple screws and nuts are used to lock the loading adjustment frame 51, one or more adjustment pads 54 and loading head 1 to eliminate the gap between the loading adjustment frame 51, adjustment pads 54 and loading head 1.
[0088] refer to Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the loading adjustment drive mechanism 52 includes a loading screw 521 threadedly connected to the loading head 1 and a screw rotation drive unit 522 driven by the loading screw 521. The screw rotation drive unit 522 is mounted on the loading adjustment frame 51, and drives the loading screw 521 to rotate, thereby causing the loading head 1 to move up and down. In this embodiment, the screw rotation drive unit 522 can be a motor or a worm gear reducer mechanism driven by a handwheel, which drives the loading screw 521 to rotate.
[0089] refer to Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the two opposite sides of the adjusting pad 54 are respectively provided with pad mounting grooves 541 and pad positioning parts 542. The loading head 1 is provided with a loading mounting groove 101. The pad positioning part 542 is installed in conjunction with the loading mounting groove 101. Two adjacent adjusting pads 54 are installed by the pad mounting groove 541 and the pad positioning part 542. The loading adjusting frame 51 is provided with an adjusting frame mounting groove 511. An adjusting frame mounting block 512 is detachably installed in the adjusting frame mounting groove 511. The adjusting frame mounting block 512 is installed in conjunction with the pad mounting groove 541, which makes it convenient to install one or more adjusting pads 54, the loading head 1 and the loading adjusting frame 51. The structure adopts an inlay connection structure of protrusions and grooves, which is stable and eliminates gaps between them, and facilitates the transmission of force.
[0090] refer to Figure 10 , 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the yaw mechanism 3 includes a yaw mounting frame 31 slidably connected to the mounting frame 100, a yaw drive mechanism 32 mounted on the yaw mounting frame 31, and a yaw rotating body 33 drivenly connected to the yaw drive mechanism 32. The yaw rotating body 33 is drivenly connected to the loading head 1 and to the main loading mechanism 2. The main loading mechanism 2 is mounted on the mounting frame 100 and is used to drive the yaw rotating body 33 to move up and down. The yaw rotating body 33 is rotatably connected to the yaw mounting frame 31, and the yaw drive mechanism 32 is used to drive the yaw rotating body 33 to rotate horizontally. (Reference) Figure 11 As shown, in practical applications, the yaw rotating body 33 is connected to the input end of the force measuring platform 6, so that the output end of the force measuring platform 6 is connected to the loading adjustment mechanism 5. When a yaw test is performed, the yaw rotating body 33 is driven to rotate by the yaw drive mechanism 32, and the force measuring platform 6 is used to obtain the force condition of the tire under test 01 in the yaw test, simulating the working condition of the aircraft tire in a yaw state.

The first yaw limiting block 324 and the second yaw limiting block 325 are used to limit the yaw limiting body 322.
[0093] The yaw mechanism 3 described herein is ingeniously designed with a yaw rotating body 33 rotatably mounted on a yaw mounting frame 31. A yaw drive mechanism 32 is mounted on the yaw mounting frame 31, and a yaw limiter 322 is connected to the yaw rotating body 33 to limit the yaw angle. This enables the main loading mechanism 2 to drive the entire structure to slide relative to the mounting frame 100 for loading, while simultaneously enabling the yaw drive mechanism 32 to drive the yaw rotating body 33 to rotate, thereby driving the test tire 01 on the loading head 1 to rotate for the yaw experiment.
[0094] refer to Figure 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the tire testing main loading device further includes a main loading locking mechanism 21 for locking the mounting bracket 100 and the yaw mounting bracket 31. The main loading locking mechanism 21 includes a locking drive member 211 mounted on the yaw mounting bracket 31 and a locking support part 212 drivenly connected to the locking drive member 211. The mounting bracket 100 is provided with a main loading locking groove 1001, which cooperates with the locking support part 212. When the main loading mechanism 2 is not working, the locking drive member 211 drives the locking support part 212 to extend into the main loading locking groove 1001, so that the main loading locking mechanism 21 supports and locks the yaw mounting bracket 31, thereby preventing the main loading mechanism 2 from being under constant force.
[0095] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 15 As shown, in practical applications, the main loading mechanism 2 drives the loading head 1 to move up and down to reduce or increase the longitudinal load on the tire 01 under test. The main loading mechanism 2 can be implemented using a hydraulic cylinder. In this embodiment, the main loading locking groove 1001 is a groove, and multiple main loading locking grooves 1001 are provided and evenly distributed along the stroke direction of the main loading mechanism 2, which can provide several locking positions for the tire 01 under test to meet the testing requirements of tires 01 at different heights. In this embodiment, the locking drive component 211 can be a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder, etc.
[0096] refer to Figure 15As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 100 is connected to the mounting protective component 1002, and the yaw mounting bracket 31 is connected to the main loading limit component 314. The main loading mechanism 2 drives the yaw rotating body 33 to move so that when the yaw mounting bracket 31 moves to the end of its stroke, the main loading limit component 314 abuts against the mounting protective component 1002, thereby limiting the stroke of the mounting bracket 100 and allowing it to move up and down within its stroke to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
[0097] refer to Figures 1-15 As shown, the present invention also provides a tire testing main loading method, comprising the following steps:
[0098] S01, the tire to be tested 01 is installed on the loading head 1;
[0099] S02. When the load is applied to the tire 01 to be tested, the main loading mechanism 2 drives the yaw rotating body 33, the force measuring platform 6, the yaw mounting frame 31, the loading adjustment mechanism 5 and the loading head 1 to move downward relative to the mounting frame 100. The main loading mechanism 2 transmits the pressure to the force measuring platform 6, the loading adjustment mechanism 5 and the loading head 1 in sequence through the yaw rotating body 33, thereby applying a load to the tire 01 to be tested on the loading head 1 to carry out the loading experiment.
[0100] S03. When performing a yaw test on the tire 01 to be tested, the yaw drive mechanism 32 set on the yaw mounting frame 31 drives the yaw rotating body 33 to rotate. The yaw rotating body 33 drives the force measuring platform 6, the loading adjustment mechanism 5 and the loading head 1 to rotate, thereby causing the tire 01 to be tested on the loading head 1 to rotate, so as to perform the yaw test.
[0101] S04. When performing a roll test on the tire 01 to be tested, the roll drive mechanism 42 installed on the roll frame 41 drives the drive mounting frame 100 to swing. The mounting frame 100 drives the main loading mechanism 2, the yaw rotating body 33, the force measuring platform 6, the yaw mounting frame 31, the loading adjustment mechanism 5 and the loading head 1 to swing, thereby causing the tire 01 to be tested on the loading head 1 to swing in order to perform a roll test.
[0102] In steps S02, S03 and S04, the force measuring platform 6 measures the applied forces in the loading test, yaw test and roll test, so as to measure and control the applied forces and the forces on the tire 01 under test in the test.
[0103] In step S01, when it is necessary to replace the test tire 01 with a different model, the loading adjustment drive mechanism 52 of the loading adjustment mechanism 5 adjusts the installation space between the loading adjustment frame 51 and the loading head 1, and increases or decreases the number of adjustment pads 54 in the installation space to change the overall height of the loading adjustment mechanism 5, so that the loading head 1 can adapt to the installation of different models of test tires 01.
[0104] This tire testing main loading method, through the main loading mechanism 2, yaw mechanism 3, and roll mechanism 4, achieves multi-channel large load collaborative loading and coupled control. It simulates different roll angles during aircraft tire takeoff, different roll angles during aircraft tire landing, and different roll angles and yaws during aircraft taxiing and turning on land. The roll and yaw simulation control speed and range have reached internationally advanced levels. This independently developed tire testing main loading device is used to simulate the complex mechanical environment of aircraft tires under extreme conditions such as catapult takeoff, ski-jump takeoff, carrier landing, roll, yaw, and aborted takeoff. It can accurately evaluate the mechanical, dynamic operation, braking response, and friction coefficient characteristics of aircraft tires, solving the technical challenges of high-load, high-acceleration tire testing in China and filling the gap in domestic high-acceleration tire testing technology. It provides accurate testing methods for the research of new synthetic rubber materials and other natural rubber tire characteristics, and provides technical support for the establishment of domestic aircraft tire design, verification, and testing standards. The test bench has already conducted thousands of tire tests, making a significant contribution to solving the national aircraft tire engineering problem.
