The electrical control box 141 may be a PLC controller for controlling the operation of various electrical devices in the device. The display screen 143 is used to display the control status.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, an outer cover 150 is further provided at the upper end of the support plate 30, and a cover plate 160 is provided at the upper end of the outer cover 150.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, a travel assembly 180 is provided at the lower end of the frame 10. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the travel assembly 18 is four Forma wheels.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the electric cylinder 130 is installed on the frame 10 via a push rod base 131 .

[0035] In the preparation process of the test, the equipment integrity check should be carried out first. Carefully confirm whether all parts of the equipment are complete and not damaged or missing. At the same time, focus on checking the firmness of the connection between the various parts, including the connection between the brake 170 and the transition connection plate 40, the support plate 30, and the installation of the electric cylinder 130 and the push rod base 131, the tension sensor 120, the adjustable extension rod 110 and the swing arm 100. If the stroke of the electric cylinder 130 is short, the adjustable extension rod 110 does not need to be installed. If the stroke of the electric cylinder 130 is long, the adjustable extension rod 110 should be installed first, and then the electric cylinder 130 should be installed horizontally on the rack 10 to ensure that the equipment will not cause errors in subsequent tests. Then, open the electrical box door of the electrical control box 141, connect the equipment to the power supply, and ensure that the power-on is stable and the grounding is good.

[0036] After the inspection, the test installation is carried out. This part mainly involves installing the brake under test on the support plate 30. The brake under test 170 is firmly installed at the center of the support plate 30 through the transition connection plate 40. Then, the pre-test settings are carried out to confirm that the torque speed sensor 50, the torque evaluation unit 60, the photoelectric rotary encoder 90 and the tension sensor 120 are working properly and there is no fault display, and to check whether the connection lines of each sensor are correctly connected. The parameters required for the test are set through the control button 142 and the display screen 143, such as the torque range, speed, loading speed, etc. of the test, and the test can be started after accurate settings are made according to the specific test requirements.

[0037] After starting the equipment, the electric cylinder 130 is fixed on the frame 10 through the push rod base 131 and starts working, and applies force to the swing arm 100 through the tension sensor 120 and the adjustable extension rod 110. During the test, the torque and speed sensor 50 collects the torque and speed data of the brake in real time, and transmits it to the torque evaluation unit 60 for analysis and processing; the photoelectric rotary encoder 90 records the rotation angle and speed of the brake and other information; the tension sensor 120 measures the tension applied by the electric cylinder 130 for subsequent data comparison. Here, the tester needs to closely observe the various data displayed on the display screen 143, and pay attention to the operating status of the equipment, such as whether there is abnormal noise, vibration or overheating, so as to find problems in time and take corresponding measures.

[0038] After the test is completed, press the stop button, the equipment stops running, the electric cylinder 130 stops applying force, and the brake 170 also stops working. Next, read and record the test result data displayed on the display screen 143, including the static braking torque, rotation speed, rotation angle and other information of the brake. At the same time, use the data of the tension sensor 120 for comparative analysis to further confirm the accuracy of the test results. Then, further analyze and process the collected data to generate a test report. Finally, remove the brake 170 under test, clean the support plate 30 and the transition connection plate 40, check whether the various parts of the equipment are worn or damaged, and repair or replace them in time if necessary, close the electrical box door of the electrical control box 141, and tidy up the working environment around the equipment to prepare for the next use.

[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the static braking torque, the conversion calculation of torque and shear stress, and the conversion calculation of tension and torque are as follows:

[0040] Calculation of static braking torque

[0041] The static braking torque can be calculated by the torque data collected by the torque speed sensor (6). If the torque is known to be T (unit: N·m) and the lever arm length is L (unit: m), then the static braking torque M = T×L.

[0042] M=T×L (1)

[0043] Conversion calculation of moment and shear stress

[0044] If the torque is known to be T (unit: N·m), the distance from any point on the circular section to the center of the circle is ρ (unit:) meter. For a solid circular section, its diameter is D (unit: meter), and the polar moment of inertia of the solid circular section.

[0045]

[0046] The shear stress at any point on the circular cross section is.

[0047]

[0048] The maximum shear stress calculation formula for a solid circular section is:

[0049] If the torque is known to be T (unit: N·m) and the diameter of the solid circular section is D (unit: m), then the distance from the edge of the solid circular section to the center is Torsional section modulus.

[0050]

[0051] Maximum shear stress in a solid circular section.

[0052]

[0053] In a solid circular section, the shear stress is the largest at the edge. Substituting the distance at the edge into the shear stress formula at any point can obtain the maximum shear stress formula. The torsional section coefficient reflects the ability of the solid circular section to resist torsional deformation.

[0054] The calculation formula of the polar moment of inertia of a hollow circular section is:

[0055] If the outer diameter of the hollow circular section is known to be D (unit: meter) and the inner diameter is d (unit: meter), then the polar moment of inertia of the hollow circular section is.

[0056]

[0057] This formula is obtained by calculating the moment of inertia of the hollow circular section relative to the center of the circle, taking into account the influence of the hollow part on the moment of inertia.

[0058] The calculation formula of the maximum shear stress of hollow circular section is:

[0059] If the torque is known to be T max (unit: N·m), the outer diameter of the hollow circular section is D (unit: m), and the inner diameter is d (unit: m), then the distance from the outer edge of the hollow circular section to the center is Polar moment of inertia of hollow circular section,

[0060]

[0061] Torsional section modulus,

[0062]

[0063] in Maximum shear stress in hollow circular section.

[0064]

[0065] In a hollow circular section, the shear stress is the largest at the outer edge. The maximum shear stress formula is obtained by substituting the polar moment of inertia formula of the hollow circular section. The torsional section coefficient reflects the degree of hollowness of the hollow circular section. When d is close to D, the degree of hollowness is larger, the torsional section coefficient decreases, and the maximum shear stress will increase.

[0066] Conversion calculation of tension and torque

[0067] The tension F (unit: Newton) applied by the electric cylinder (20) is measured by the tension sensor (19). The distance from the connection point of the adjustable extension rod (15) and the swing arm (14) to the rotation center of the brake is d (unit: meter). At this time, the torque M generated by the tension 拉 =F×d.

[0068] M拉 =F×d (10)

[0069] Calculation of rotation speed and rotation angle (if necessary)

[0070] The photoelectric rotary encoder (10) records the rotation angle θ (unit: radian) and the rotation speed ω (unit: radian / second) of the brake. If the angle of rotation in time t (unit: second) is known to be θ, then the average rotation speed is

[0071]

[0072] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
