The positioning block 16 is provided on the side of the slider 15 close to the rotation axis of the lower suspension 12. A servo cylinder 121 is also installed on the lower suspension 12. The piston rod of the servo cylinder 121 is connected to the positioning block 16 and is used to drive the positioning block 16 to slide.

When the hydraulic cylinder 21 applies a dynamic load to the lower suspension 12, the touch block 22 is connected to the slider 15, and as the hydraulic cylinder 21 continuously applies the load, the lower suspension 12 rotates on the simulation frame 1, and the touch block 22 pushes the slider 15 to slide on the lower suspension 12, so that the slider 15 is separated from the positioning block 16, thereby effectively reducing the wear or deformation between the touch block 22 and the lower suspension 12 caused by mechanical impact.
[0033] Reference Figure 4 , 5 Furthermore, a connecting block 152 is rotatably provided on the slider 15, a torsion spring 153 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the connecting block 152, and the two ends of the torsion spring 153 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting block 152 and the slider 15, and a groove 1521 for inserting the touch block 22 is provided on the connecting block 152. By rotatably providing the connecting block 152 on the slider 15, and connecting the connecting block 152 to the slider 15 through the torsion spring 153; when the touch block 22 applies a load to the lower suspension 12, the touch block 22 is inserted into the groove 1521 on the connecting block 152, and in the process of the lower suspension 12 rotating and the slider 15 sliding, the connecting block 152 rotates on the slider 15 according to the change of the angle of the lower suspension 12, ensuring stable contact between the touch block 22 and the connecting block 152, thereby improving the connection stability between the touch block 22 and the slider 15.

When the suspension spring is tested, the servo cylinder 121 is started by the control system 3 to drive the positioning block 16 to slide toward the slider 15. The magnet 161 on the positioning block 16 adsorbs the metal magnetic sheet 151 on the slider 15, so that the slider 15 can move with the positioning block 16. At the same time, by providing the infrared signal transmitter 154 on the slider 15 and the infrared signal receiver 221 on the touch block 22, when the infrared signal transmitter 154 and the infrared signal receiver 221 are accurately aligned, the control system 3 can accurately determine the position relationship and stop the movement of the positioning block 16, thereby ensuring the accurate alignment between the connecting block 152 and the touch block 22. This design significantly reduces manual intervention and improves test efficiency and accuracy.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 , 6 , multiple groups of rollers 157 are rotatably arranged on the slider 15, and a wheel groove 123 is arranged on the bottom wall of the lower suspension 12 along the length direction of the lower suspension 12. Each roller 157 is arranged in the wheel groove 123 and is rollingly connected with the lower suspension 12. Each roller 157 is always pressed against the side wall of the wheel groove 123 under the elastic force of the elastic pressure plate 156. The arrangement of the rollers 157 effectively reduces the friction resistance during the movement of the slider 15, making the movement of the slider 15 on the lower suspension 12 smoother, and improving the response speed and operational flexibility of the entire device.
