[0028] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 An operating device 100 for a vehicle safety test according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the operating device 100 for vehicle safety testing according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a mounting base 1, an adjustment arm group 2 and an actuator 3. The mounting base 1 is suitable for being fixed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The adjustment arm group 2 includes a plurality of sub-adjustment arms, and the plurality of sub-adjustment arms are rotatably connected in sequence. The plurality of sub-adjustment arms include a first sub-adjustment arm 21 and a second sub-adjustment arm 22 respectively arranged at both ends. The first sub-adjustment arm 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1 in a lockable manner. The actuator 3 includes: an actuator 31 and a guide rail 32. The guide rail 32 is connected to the second sub-adjustment arm 22. The actuator 31 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 32 in a lockable manner and can move.

[0031] The operating device 100 for vehicle safety testing can be used in vehicle rollover tests. Before the vehicle rollover test, the operating device 100 can be installed in the vehicle's passenger compartment and adjusted to a preset position according to a preset scheme, so that the actuator 3 can access buttons or control devices at preset positions in the vehicle when remotely controlled. After the vehicle rollover test, the operating device 100 can be remotely controlled to activate it to verify whether the buttons or control devices are functioning properly. The operating device 100 can replace manual labor, ensuring the safety of the operator. The operating device 100 can also access buttons or control devices that the operator cannot reach, making the vehicle safety test more comprehensive and complete.

[0032] The mounting base 1 of the operating device 100 can be fixedly installed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The mounting base 1 can be fixedly connected to the steering wheel 200 or the center armrest of the vehicle, so that the operating device 100 can remain stable during the vehicle safety test, thereby reducing the risk of the operating device 100 being offset relative to the preset position during the vehicle rollover test, and facilitating the operating device 100 to access the buttons or control devices inside the vehicle according to the preset plan.

[0033] The adjustment arm group 2 of the operating device 100 includes multiple sub-adjustment arms connected in sequence. The number of sub-adjustment arms can be but is not limited to two, three, four, etc. Among the multiple sub-adjustment arms, two adjacent sub-adjustment arms can rotate relative to each other. By setting multiple sub-adjustment arms, the adjustable range of the adjustment arm group 2 can be increased, and the flexibility of the operating device 100 can be improved to meet the operational needs of the vehicle safety test. Moreover, the relative positions of the multiple sub-adjustment arms can be adjusted according to the test needs, so that the operating device 100 can be used to verify any button or control device in the vehicle, thereby improving the applicability of the operating device 100 and making the test more comprehensive and objective.

[0034] The plurality of sub-adjustment arms include a first sub-adjustment arm 21 and a second sub-adjustment arm 22, which are disposed at both ends. The first sub-adjustment arm 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1 in a lockable manner. That is, the first sub-adjustment arm 21 can rotate relative to the mounting base 1, and the first sub-adjustment arm 21 can be locked with the mounting base 1 to fix the first sub-adjustment arm 21 to the mounting base 1. In some embodiments of the present application, locking can be performed by a mechanical lock, an electromagnetic lock, or a pneumatic lock, or by tightening a bolt. The second sub-adjustment arm 22 is connected to the actuator 3 of the operating device 100. By adjusting the position of the second sub-adjustment arm 22 and the first sub-adjustment arm 21, the position of the actuator 3 relative to the mounting base 1 can be adjusted, and the spatial position of the actuator 31 in the vehicle can be adjusted so that the actuator 31 can reach the buttons or control devices inside the vehicle. The actuator 31 of the actuator 3 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 32 of the actuator 3 in a lockable manner. That is, the actuator 31 can slide relative to the guide rail 32, and the actuator 31 can be locked so that the actuator 31 and the guide rail 32 are fixed. By adjusting the position of the actuator 31 relative to the guide rail 32, the spatial position of the actuator 31 in the vehicle can be adjusted so that the actuator 31 can reach the buttons or control devices inside the vehicle.

[0035] The actuator 31 can be actuated to access buttons or control devices inside the vehicle. In some embodiments of the present application, the actuator 31 may include an actuator and a drive mechanism, wherein the drive mechanism can drive the actuator to actuate to access buttons or control devices inside the vehicle. In some embodiments of the present application, a staff member can send a remote control signal to the drive mechanism via a remote control, and the drive mechanism can receive the remote control signal and drive the actuator to actuate to access buttons or control devices inside the vehicle.

[0036] When it is necessary to use the operating device 100 to verify whether the buttons or control devices inside the vehicle can work normally after the safety test, the mounting base 1 can be first fixed to the steering wheel 200 of the test vehicle, and then the positions of the multiple sub-adjustment arms and the position of the actuator 31 relative to the slide rail are adjusted to make the actuator 31 close to the preset required position to ensure that the actuator 31 can touch the buttons or control devices inside the vehicle when controlled. After the vehicle rolls over, the staff can remotely control the operating device 100 through the remote control to drive the actuator 31 to move so that it touches the buttons or control devices inside the vehicle to verify whether the buttons or control devices can work normally. The operation process of the operating device 100 is simple and efficient, which can improve the work efficiency of the test.

[0037] In the above embodiment, by providing a plurality of relatively rotatable sub-adjustment arms and relatively slidable actuators 31 and guide rails 32, the actuator 31 of the operating device 100 can be close to the preset position to be touched. After the vehicle rolls over, the actuator 31 can be remotely controlled to verify whether the buttons or control devices inside the vehicle can work normally. The operating device 100 can replace manual labor to ensure the safety of the operator, and the operating device 100 can reach buttons or control devices that the operator cannot reach, so that the vehicle safety test is more comprehensive, more complete, and more efficient.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 1 includes: a mounting plate 11 and at least one group of mounting member groups 12, each group of mounting member groups 12 includes two mounting members 121 spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other, and the two mounting members 121 of each group of mounting member groups 12 define an assembly groove 1211 open toward each other, and the assembly groove 1211 is suitable for assembling a portion of the steering wheel 200 of the vehicle, and the mounting member 121 is provided on the mounting plate 11.

[0039] The mounting member group 12 and the first sub-adjusting arm 21 of the mounting base 1 can be mounted on the mounting plate 11 of the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 has at least one mounting member group 12. Each mounting member group 12 can include two mounting members 121 spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other.

The two mounting members 121 of each mounting member group 12 can define an assembly groove 1211 that is open toward each other. A portion of the vehicle's steering wheel 200 can extend into the assembly groove 1211. The two mounting members 121 of each mounting member group 12 can abut against the steering wheel 200 from two positions, so that the mounting member group 12 is fixedly connected to the steering wheel 200, thereby fixing the mounting member group 12 to the steering wheel 200.

[0040] There can be one, two, or three mounting component groups 12. Multiple mounting component groups 12 can abut against the steering wheel 200 from multiple positions, so that the mounting base 1 is stably and reliably fixed to the steering wheel 200, thereby allowing the operating device 100 to remain stable during vehicle safety tests, thereby reducing the offset of the operating device 100 relative to the preset position during vehicle rollover, and facilitating the operating device 100 to reach the buttons or control devices inside the vehicle according to the preset plan, thereby improving the installation stability and reliability of the operating device 100.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the assembly groove 1211 has two opposite inner wall surfaces 1212 , and the two opposite inner wall surfaces 1212 have an included angle.

[0042] Among them, the assembly groove 1211 can have two opposite inner wall surfaces 1212, and there can be an angle between the two opposite inner wall surfaces 1212. The steering wheel 200 can be extended into the assembly groove 1211, and the two inner wall surfaces 1212 can both abut against the outer wall of the steering wheel 200, so that the assembly groove 1211 and the steering wheel 200 are stably and reliably fixedly connected.

[0043] In the above embodiment, by making the assembly groove 1211 have two opposite inner wall surfaces 1212, and the two opposite inner wall surfaces 1212 have an angle, the stability of the mounting base 1 installed on the steering wheel 200 can be increased, thereby further reducing the offset of the operating device 100 relative to the preset position during the rolling process of the vehicle.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate 11 has a plurality of first mounting holes 111, and each mounting member 121 has a second mounting hole. The second mounting hole can be assembled with the first mounting hole 111 so that the mounting member 121 is arranged on the mounting plate 11, and the number of the first mounting holes 111 is greater than the number of the second mounting holes.

[0045] The mounting plate 11 may have a plurality of first mounting holes 111, the axes of which may all be parallel to (or coincide with) the normal of the plane on which the mounting plate 11 is located, and the plurality of first mounting holes 111 may all be used for mating with the second mounting holes of the mounting member 121. In some embodiments of the present application, the first mounting holes 111 and the second mounting holes may be connected by bolts, which may be passed through the second mounting holes and the first mounting holes 111 to securely connect the mounting member 121 to the mounting plate 11. This arrangement facilitates installation and disassembly, and the position at which the mounting member 121 is fixed to the mounting plate 11 may be changed according to actual needs, providing good flexibility in use.

[0046] The plurality of first mounting holes 111 can be evenly arranged on the mounting plate 11, and the number of the first mounting holes 111 can be greater than the number of the second mounting holes, so that the mounting member 121 can be assembled with any idle first mounting hole 111 on the mounting plate 11 according to actual needs. Accordingly, the two mounting members 121 of each mounting member group 12 can be assembled with two different and idle first mounting holes 111 on the mounting plate 11 according to actual needs to adjust the position of the mounting member 121 assembled to the mounting plate 11 and the two mounting members 121 of each mounting member group 12. 1, so that the distance is adapted to the sizes of steering wheels 200 of different vehicles, thereby enabling the mounting assembly 12 to be stably and reliably connected to the steering wheel 200 of the vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of the operating device 100 being offset relative to the preset position during a vehicle rollover test, thereby facilitating the operating device 100 to access buttons or control devices inside the vehicle according to a preset plan, thereby enabling the vehicle safety test to be completed more comprehensively and accurately. Moreover, the operating device 100 can be adapted to steering wheels 200 of different sizes, which is conducive to improving the applicability of the operating device 100.
