As an important part of the automobile suspension system, the material of the leaf spring has an important impact on the performance and service life of the car. In the application of automobile springs, leaf springs are generally made of 65Mn (65 manganese steel). This material is widely used to withstand harsh conditions such as impact, pressing, and wear due to its excellent performance and strength. The hardness of 65Mn is below HRC20. After heat treatment, the hardness can reach above HRC60, and the hardness after quenching is generally around HRC62. The hardness range of automobile spring steel plates is between HRC40-55.

[0083] In this embodiment, the simulation test control device 5 also includes a sensor 502, which is installed on the telescopic rod 4011 of the telescopic cylinder 401 and is electrically connected to the control computer 501. The sensor 502 is used to detect the second displacement of the leaf spring 6 to be tested when the telescopic rod 4011 reciprocates and retracts along the first direction, and transmits the second displacement to the control computer 501, so that the control computer 501 can control the hydraulic control system according to the second displacement, and then drive the telescopic rod 4011 of the hydraulic servo actuator 4 to drive the leaf spring 6 to be tested to reach the first displacement. Wherein, the second displacement is equal to the first displacement or greater than the first displacement or less than the first displacement. The second displacement generated by the leaf spring 6 to be tested is monitored in real time by the sensor 502, and dynamic feedback adjustment is realized, so that the control of the fatigue resistance test according to the first spectrum information can be made more accurate.

[0084] In this embodiment, the push-pull test device can be multiple settings, and the oil pressure distributor 406 includes multiple hydraulic output ports, and the multiple hydraulic output ports are connected to the hydraulic servo actuators 4 of multiple push-pull test devices one by one. The hydraulic servo actuators 4 of multiple push-pull test devices can be controlled simultaneously by one oil pressure distributor 406, so that fatigue tests can be performed on multiple leaf springs 6 to be tested at the same time, thereby improving the test efficiency.
[0085] like Figure 1-Figure 13 As shown, on the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the present invention provides an automobile leaf spring fatigue test equipment, wherein the push-pull assembly further includes a force release mechanism 7, which is installed on the test platform 1 and connected to the hydraulic servo actuator 4, and the force release mechanism 7 is used to apply a pulling force away from the test platform 1 to the hydraulic servo actuator 4. Since the hydraulic servo actuator 4 has a large cylinder weight, if the force release mechanism is not provided, a large friction force will be generated between the telescopic rod 4011 and the cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder 401 under the action of gravity, thereby wearing out the telescopic cylinder 401. After the force release mechanism is provided, during the simulation test, the friction force between the telescopic rod 4011 and the cylinder body is reduced, thereby improving the service life of the hydraulic servo actuator 4.
[0086] The hydraulic servo actuator 4 is connected to the test platform 1 through a force relief mechanism.

The shock absorbing spring 703 comprises a plurality of springs, and the plurality of shock absorbing springs 703 are arranged at intervals along the second direction and connected to the spring fixing plate 702. The hook connecting plate 704 is connected to one end of the plurality of shock absorbing springs 703 away from the spring fixing plate 702. The hydraulic servo actuator 4 is connected to the hook connecting plate 704 via a connecting belt 8. In this embodiment, only one shock absorbing spring 703 may be provided. However, providing a plurality of shock absorbing springs 703 will make the pulling force applied by the de-energizing mechanism to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 stronger and more evenly distributed.
[0088] A hook 705 is provided at the lower part of the hook connecting plate 704; the hydraulic servo actuator 4 is connected to the hook 705 through a connecting belt 8. A threaded connector 706 is provided on the side of the telescopic cylinder 401 of the hydraulic servo actuator 4 close to the hook connecting plate 704. The lower part of the threaded connector 706 has an external thread, which is threadedly connected and tightened with a threaded hole pre-set on the hydraulic servo actuator 4. A connecting hole is provided on the side of the threaded connector 706 close to the hook connecting plate 704. The connecting belt 8 passes through the connecting hole to connect the hook 705 and the threaded connector together, and then the hydraulic servo actuator 4 is connected to the hook connecting plate 704 together, which is convenient to connect. The threaded connector 706 is easy to process. When installing, it is only necessary to set a threaded hole on the telescopic cylinder 401 of the hydraulic servo actuator 4 that is compatible with the external thread set at the lower part of the threaded hole threaded connector 706, and the assembly is efficient and convenient.
[0089] Specifically, the gantry 701 is composed of a gantry beam and supporting columns symmetrically arranged at both ends of the bottom of the gantry beam, and the bottom ends of the supporting columns are connected to the slide slots of the test platform 1 through support plates. The spring fixing plate 702 is fixed to the gantry beam by welding or bolting. The spring fixing plate 702 and the hook connecting plate 704 are respectively provided with a plurality of U-shaped hooks corresponding to the shock absorbing springs 703 on one side close to each other, and the upper end of the shock absorbing spring 703 close to the spring fixing plate 702 is suspended on the spring fixing plate 702 through the U-shaped hook, and the lower end of the shock absorbing spring 703 close to the hook connecting plate 704 is connected to the hook connecting plate 704.
[0090] Among them, at least eight shock-absorbing springs 703 are provided.
[0091] The connecting belt 8 can be a connecting piece with adjustable length such as a screw rod, a telescopic rod 4011 structure, etc., which is convenient for disassembly, assembly and replacement.
[0092] like Figure 13-Figure 17 As shown, a fatigue test method for an automobile leaf spring is performed using the above-mentioned automobile leaf spring fatigue test equipment, and the method comprises the following steps:
[0093] Step s1, collecting, by controlling the computer 501, first displacements of the leaf spring along its own expansion and contraction direction at different times during the driving of the vehicle equipped with the leaf spring on a predetermined road surface, so as to generate first road spectrum information from the first displacements at different times;
[0094] Step s2, controlling the hydraulic control system to apply hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 according to the first spectrum information by controlling the computer 501, so that the hydraulic servo actuator 4 drives the telescopic rod 4011 of the telescopic cylinder 401 to reciprocate and retract along the first direction under the action of hydraulic pressure, and applies the tension and pressure generated when the telescopic rod 401 reciprocates and retracts along the first direction to the leaf spring 6 to be tested installed on the second fixed component 2.
[0095] The automobile leaf spring fatigue test method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can collect the first road spectrum information of the real road surface of the automobile test field such as ordinary road and comprehensive reinforced road surface by controlling the computer 501, and control the hydraulic control system by controlling the computer 501 to output energy to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 to drive the telescopic rod 4011 of the hydraulic servo actuator 4 to move according to the first displacement at different times displayed in the first road spectrum information, and make the movement of the telescopic rod 4011 act on the leaf spring 6 to be tested, which can simulate the leaf spring 6 to be tested under the actual automobile use conditions, and then can accurately test the fatigue durability performance of the leaf spring 6 to be tested on the actual road. There is no need for test personnel to conduct field tests on the leaf spring 6 to be tested, which greatly improves the anti-fatigue test efficiency of the leaf spring 6 to be tested and reduces the test cost caused by personnel testing.
[0096] Before executing the step s2, the method further includes: the control computer 501 receives the second displacement amount generated by the steel leaf spring 6 to be tested when the telescopic rod 4011 reciprocates and retracts along the first direction detected by the sensor 502, so that the control computer 501 controls the hydraulic control system to drive the telescopic rod 4011 to drive the steel leaf spring 6 to be tested to reach the first displacement amount according to the second displacement amount, or controls the hydraulic control system to stop working. Among them, the second displacement amount generated by the steel leaf spring 6 to be tested is detected in real time by the sensor 502, and dynamic adjustment is achieved, so that the steel leaf spring 6 to be tested can accurately reach the first displacement amount, thereby improving the control accuracy. When the operation is improper, a protection value can be preset in the control computer 501. When the second displacement amount measured by the sensor 502 is much larger than the first displacement amount and exceeds the protection value, an emergency stop is achieved.
[0097] Specifically, the step of the control computer 501 controlling the hydraulic control system to drive the telescopic rod 4011 of the hydraulic servo actuator 4 to drive the leaf spring 6 to reach the first displacement according to the second displacement includes:
[0098] The control computer 501 obtains a control error e(t) according to the difference between the second displacement and the first displacement, and the control error e(t)=r(t)-y(t), wherein r(t) is the first displacement and y(t) is the second displacement; e(t) can be obtained by outputting a difference signal after comparing the first displacement and the second displacement by a numerical comparator set in the control computer 501, or can be obtained by comparing through a pre-set comparison program instruction.
[0099] The control computer 501 outputs a hydraulic control signal u(t) to the oil pressure distributor 406 of the hydraulic control system through a proportional-integral-differential controller according to the control error e(t), so that the oil pressure distributor 406 responds to the hydraulic control signal u(t) and drives the telescopic rod 4011 to drive the leaf spring 6 to be tested to reach the first displacement, wherein the hydraulic control signal u(t) satisfies the following formula:
[0100]
[0101] In the formula, K p is the proportional gain, K i is the integration time, K d is the differential time, K p e(t) is the proportional part, K p e(t) is directly proportional to the control error e(t) and responds quickly to error changes; is the integral part, Accumulating all past errors helps eliminate steady-state errors. is the differential part, Predict future trends and reduce overshoot and oscillation. The time variable t represents the time from the start of the control process (i.e., the first time the telescopic rod 4011 is controlled to move) to the current moment, and t is used to represent the value of the error e(t) at the current moment and the rate of change of the error over time. The time variable τ represents a series of time points in the integration process. In , τ is the integral variable, which is used to represent the error value at all time points from the start time 0 to the current time t. The integral term calculates the cumulative effect of the total error by accumulating the error values at these time points, thereby eliminating the steady-state error.
[0102] Specific example:
[0103] Assume that at a certain time t = 5 seconds, the control error e(t) is 2, then:
[0104] Proportional term K p e(5) reflects the error value at t=5 seconds.
[0105] Integral Item It reflects the accumulation of all error values from 0 seconds to 5 seconds.
[0106] Differential term It reflects the rate of change of the error at t = 5 seconds.
[0107] Therefore, in the hydraulic control system of this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the system, this embodiment uses a closed-loop control strategy. The core of this closed-loop control strategy is to adjust the output of the control computer 501 by comparing the difference between the expected input signal (i.e., the first displacement set in the first spectrum information) and the actual output signal (the second displacement obtained by sensor feedback), thereby achieving precise control of the hydraulic control system. The oil pressure distributor 406 of the hydraulic control system adjusts the pressure parameters of the hydraulic oil provided to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 in response to the hydraulic control signal u(t). Specifically, the control computer 501 can convert the calculated hydraulic control signal u(t) into a physical quantity, such as voltage or current, which is used to adjust the position or opening of the hydraulic valve of the oil pressure distributor 406, thereby changing the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder of the oil pressure distributor 406 or the position of the piston, so that the hydraulic servo actuator 4 can accurately control the leaf spring 6 to be tested to reach the first displacement. After the system responds, the sensor obtains new actual values again and repeats the above process to form a continuous feedback loop, thereby improving the test accuracy and timeliness of the entire automotive leaf spring fatigue test equipment, and ensuring that the automotive leaf spring fatigue test equipment can maintain good dynamic characteristics and stability under various working conditions.
[0108] Before the hydraulic pressure applied to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 by the control computer 501 according to the first spectrum information is controlled by the hydraulic control system, the method further includes:
[0109] After the first displacement at different moments in the first road spectrum information is increased or decreased by a predetermined multiple by the control computer 501, the second road spectrum information is generated, so that the hydraulic pressure applied to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 by the hydraulic control system is controlled by the control computer 501 according to the second road spectrum information. Therefore, different road spectrum information can be used to test the leaf springs 6 to be tested according to their actual material properties, so as to avoid damage to the leaf springs 6 to be tested due to the first displacement exceeding the bearing capacity, or inaccurate testing of the leaf springs 6 to be tested due to insufficient first displacement. In addition, anti-fatigue testing through the second road spectrum information can also avoid the test personnel from re-collecting road spectrum information with a larger or smaller amplitude on the predetermined road surface, thereby reducing the workload of the test personnel, improving the test efficiency and reducing the test cost. The predetermined multiple may be one of 1.2 times, 1.3 times, 1.5 times, 2 times, 2.3 times, 2.5 times, 2.6 times, 2.8 times, 3 times, 3.1 times, 3.4 times, 3.5 times, 3.7 times, 3.8 times, etc. The predetermined multiple may also be other multiple values besides the aforementioned data. This embodiment does not make a sole limitation on this.
[0110] The first spectrum information is a set of time series data, and each time point corresponds to a first displacement. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the first displacement at different times in the first spectrum information is increased or decreased by a predetermined multiple by the control computer 501, the control computer 501 can use a predetermined programming language (the predetermined programming language can include Python) to read the first spectrum information and adjust the displacement according to the predetermined multiple. At this time, the control computer 501 can specifically perform the following method steps:
[0111] 1. The first route map information can be set to be stored in a CSV file. When reading the route map data, a programming language (such as Python) can be used to read the route map data. Here Python is used as an example:
[0112] Python
[0113] import pandas as pd
[0114] #Read CSV file
[0115] file_path='path_to_your_spectrum_file.csv'
[0116] data = pd.read_csv(file_path)
[0117] #Assume that there is a column named 'time' in the data file to represent time, and a column named 'displacement' to represent the first displacement
[0118] time = data['time']
[0119] displacement=data['displacement']
[0120] ```
[0121] 2. Apply multiple adjustment:
[0122] Adjust the size of the first displacement according to a predetermined multiple. Assume that you want to increase or decrease the first displacement by `scale_factor` times:
[0123] Python
[0124] scale_factor = 1.5 # For example, increase by 1.5 times
[0125] # Apply multiple adjustment
[0126] adjusted_displacement=displacement*scale_factor
[0127] ```
[0128] 3. Save the adjusted data:
[0129] Save the adjusted data into a new file to obtain the second spectrum information for subsequent testing.
[0130] Python
[0131] #Create a new DataFrame
[0132] adjusted_data=pd.DataFrame({
[0133] 'time':time,
[0134] 'adjusted_displacement':adjusted_displacement
[0135] })
[0136] #Save to a new CSV file
[0137] output_file_path='path_to_your_adjusted_spectrum_file.csv'
[0138] adjusted_data.to_csv(output_file_path,index=False)
[0139] ```
[0140] 4. Verification results:
[0141] You can verify through visualization or other means whether the adjusted data is as expected.
[0142] Python
[0143] import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
[0144] #Draw the original first displacement and the adjusted displacement
[0145] plt.figure(figsize=(10,6))
[0146] plt.plot(time,displacement,label='Original Displacement')
[0147] plt.plot(time,adjusted_displacement,label='Adjusted Displacement',linestyle="--')
[0148] plt.xlabel('Time(s)')
[0149] plt.ylabel('Displacement')
[0150] plt.legend()
[0151] plt.title('Displacement Adjustment')
[0152] plt.show()
[0153] Full code example:
[0154] Python
[0155] import pandas as pd
[0156] import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
[0157] #Read CSV file
[0158] file_path='path_to_your_spectrum_file.csv'
[0159] data = pd.read_csv(file_path)
[0160] #Assume that there is a column named 'time' in the data file to represent time, and a column named 'displacement' to represent displacement
[0161] time = data['time']
[0162] displacement=data['displacement']
[0163] # Apply multiple adjustment
[0164] scale_factor = 1.5 # For example, increase by 1.5 times
[0165] adjusted_displacement=displacement*scale_factor
[0166] #Create a new DataFrame
[0167] adjusted_data=pd.DataFrame({
[0168] 'time':time,
[0169] 'adjusted_displacement':adjusted_displacement
[0170] })
[0171] #Save to a new CSV file
[0172] output_file_path='path_to_your_adjusted_spectrum_file.csv'.
[0173] In step s1, the first road spectrum information of the real predetermined road surface of the automobile test site such as ordinary road and comprehensive reinforced road surface is collected; the first road spectrum information is the first displacement of the leaf spring at different times during the vehicle driving process, and the first road spectrum information is formed after data processing using the American MTS eDAQ data processing system. Generally, the simulation test is carried out using an equivalent road surface of a predetermined length such as 500,000 kilometers or 1 million kilometers, and simulation tests of different kilometers can also be carried out according to the standard requirements of automobile R&D enterprises; and the obtained first road spectrum information is imported into the control computer 501.
[0174] The equipment required for the first road spectrum information collection includes data acquisition device, data processing software, data acquisition software, displacement sensor, triaxial sensor, strain gauge. The specific steps for collecting road spectrum data are as follows:
[0175] s1.1. Place the displacement sensor, X, Y, Z three-axis sensor, and strain gauge on the leaf spring of the test vehicle, connect them to the data acquisition system, and then drive the vehicle to the test track, and drive over the washboard road, Belgian road, cobblestone road, twisted road, pothole road, vibrating road, wavy road, noisy road, ordinary road, high-speed ring road, mountain road and other roads at a constant speed. The vibration and amplitude are transmitted to the data acquisition device through the sensor, and the time history curve of the vibration and strain gauge signal is collected by the data acquisition device, such as Fig.14 shown.
[0176] s1.2. After the first spectrum information is collected, the collected first spectrum information is cut and iteratively processed in the data processing software cRPC Project Manager. Cut off the part with greater damage contribution, and keep as much as possible the part with no damage contribution or less damage contribution, so that the frequency components and amplitudes of the strain signals before and after do not change significantly, indicating that the trimmed signal can effectively reflect the load environment during driving, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results obtained after the fatigue test of the leaf spring to be tested using the first spectrum information, such as Fig.15 shown.
[0177] s1.3. After the cutting is completed, the first road spectrum information is iteratively processed, and the cut road spectrum data is used as the iterative target of the road simulation system test bench, and the acceleration signal is reproduced in the time domain through the test bench closed-loop control strategy. Fig.16 As shown, the blue is the target signal and the red is the response signal. The target signal and the response signal overlap with each other, indicating that the test bench can accurately reproduce the vibration environment conditions of the prototype vehicle during actual driving.
[0178] In step s2, the hydraulic control system is controlled by the simulation test control device 5 to output energy to the hydraulic servo actuator 4, driving the hydraulic servo actuator 4 to start moving according to the first displacement at different times in the first road spectrum information, and acting on the leaf spring 6 to be tested, thereby evaluating the fatigue durability performance of the leaf spring on the actual road.
[0179] In addition, the second displacement generated when the telescopic rod 4011 of the telescopic cylinder 401 of the hydraulic servo actuator 4 reciprocates and retracts along the first direction is detected in real time by the sensor 502 and the second displacement is transmitted to the control computer 501, so that the control computer 501 adjusts the hydraulic pressure applied to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 by the hydraulic control system according to the second displacement. The second displacement matches the first displacement of the spring to be compressed determined in the first path spectrum information. When the detection feedback to the control computer 501 is that the displacement of the telescopic rod 4011 is insufficient, the control computer 501 controls the oil pressure distributor 406 to give more hydraulic strength, realizes feedback adjustment, and makes the test results more accurate. Specifically, when the displacement generated when the telescopic rod 4011 reciprocates and retracts along the first direction is smaller than that specified in the path spectrum, the hydraulic pressure applied to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 by the hydraulic control system is increased. On the contrary, when the second displacement is larger than the first displacement specified in the first path spectrum information, the control computer 501 controls the hydraulic control system to reduce the hydraulic pressure applied to the hydraulic servo actuator 4.
[0180] The specific steps of the simulation test are:
[0181] s2.1. Place the leaf spring 6 to be tested on the test platform 1 and install it on the second fixing component 2. After the installation is completed, turn on the high voltage power supply of the equipment system;
[0182] s2.2, the control computer 501 applies high pressure to the oil source, and the hydraulic servo actuator 4 moves by relying on the high pressure oil source;
[0183] s2.3, control the hydraulic servo actuator 4 to communicate with the computer, specifically open the computer software statusmanager → apply low pressure to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 → apply high pressure to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 → open the cRPC ProjectManager software → import the cut and iterated road spectrum → click to run. After clicking to run, the hydraulic servo actuator 4 will vibrate the steel leaf spring according to the collected road spectrum. If the hydraulic servo actuator 4 is placed vertically, the hydraulic servo actuator 4 will move up and down. If the hydraulic servo actuator 4 is placed horizontally, the hydraulic servo actuator 4 will move left and right or back and forth. That is, the movement direction of the hydraulic servo actuator 4 simulates the movement of the steel leaf spring in the corresponding direction during driving.
[0184] As can be seen from the above, the automobile leaf spring fatigue test equipment provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a stable and reliable structure and low cost. It can directly collect the first road spectrum information of the real road surface of the automobile test field such as ordinary roads and comprehensive reinforced roads through the simulation test control device or the control computer 501, and can control the hydraulic control system through the control computer 501 to output energy to the hydraulic servo actuator 4 to drive the hydraulic servo actuator 4 to move according to the first displacement at different times displayed in the first road spectrum information, and act on the leaf spring 6 to be tested. It can simulate the leaf spring 6 to be tested under the actual automobile use conditions, and then accurately test the fatigue durability performance of the leaf spring 6 to be tested on the actual road. There is no need for test personnel to conduct field tests on the leaf spring 6 to be tested, which greatly improves the fatigue resistance test efficiency of the leaf spring 6 to be tested and reduces the test cost caused by personnel testing;
[0185] Secondly, the embodiment of the present invention can realize closed-loop control, which adjusts the output of the control computer 501 by comparing the difference between the expected input signal and the actual output signal, thereby improving the test accuracy and precision and timeliness of the entire automobile leaf spring fatigue test equipment, and ensuring that the automobile leaf spring fatigue test equipment can maintain good dynamic characteristics and stability under various working conditions. The overall equipment is easy to operate and has good reliability. It can use different road spectrum information to test the leaf springs 6 to be tested according to their actual material properties, ensuring that the leaf springs 6 to be tested have good bearing capacity and avoid damage during the test. In addition, the road spectrum information can be collected on a predetermined road surface for testing. The operation is convenient and efficient, reducing the workload of test personnel, improving test efficiency and reducing test costs. It has strong practicality and high promotion potential.
