As one of the key components, the overall performance of the steering column together with its intermediate shaft is directly related to the driving experience and traffic safety. Therefore, it is particularly important to strictly control its quality during the production and manufacturing process. In recent years, in order to meet the diverse market demands and improve the product quality level, more advanced equipment and technical means have been gradually introduced for the functional testing of these components, promoting the technical level of the entire industry to a new height.
[0003] In this context, the industry usually adopts various methods for the functional detection of similar components. For example, fixed fixtures are used in combination with manual operations to complete basic parameter measurements; or early versions of semi-automatic devices are used to conduct stress loading tests under specific conditions. In addition, in some cases, simple robotic arms are used to simulate the actual working conditions to evaluate the overall performance. Although the above methods have their own focuses and can cover a certain range of application scenarios, they generally lack flexibility and general-purpose design considerations.
[0004] However, the existing functional test equipment has obvious deficiencies in that it cannot effectively accommodate multiple specifications of products to carry out accurate and efficient test operations simultaneously. This limitation not only restricts the enterprise's ability to quickly respond to market demand changes, but also increases the additional cost burden. Especially when facing different size and shape requirements, it shows obvious adaptation obstacles, and there is an urgent need for a new idea to break through this bottleneck problem.
[0005] Therefore, based on the above problems, the existing technology needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

In terms of power output, the first power output unit composed of the first driving motor and the first speed reducer can provide stable and adjustable power for the first transmission shaft, ensuring that a preset torque can be accurately applied to the workpiece to be tested. At the same time, the first speed reducer can reasonably adjust the output speed and torque magnitude according to the testing requirements, further improving the controllability and precision of the testing process. Generally speaking, the design of this automatic testing device greatly enhances the flexibility, versatility, and testing precision of the power steering column with intermediate shaft function testing equipment.
[0013] Optionally, a front-back adjustment component is provided on the first angular rotation platform, and the first power output unit is arranged on the front-back adjustment component. The first transmission shaft is driven by the front-back adjustment component to move towards or away from the input force detection device, automatically completing the connection or separation from the input force detection device.

At the same time, multiple first mounting seats are provided, which not only provide reliable support for the second transmission shaft, but also enable multiple groups of transmission shafts to work in parallel or be switched as spares when necessary, further improving the reliability and fault tolerance of the equipment and comprehensively optimizing the accuracy, versatility, and stability of the function test of the power steering column with an intermediate shaft.
[0017] Optionally, a rotating wheel disc is provided at one end of the second transmission shaft away from the product fixing device.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating wheel disc provides an intuitive and convenient operation force application point for the operator in the manual testing mode. The operator only needs to rotate the wheel disc to easily apply torque to the second transmission shaft. Compared with directly manipulating the transmission shaft, the operation is more labor-saving and accurate, effectively improving the convenience and operability of manual testing. Secondly, in terms of visual monitoring, the rotation state of the wheel disc can directly reflect the rotation of the transmission shaft, facilitating the operator to observe the torque transmission process in real time and promptly detect abnormalities such as jamming and uneven rotation speed, and then quickly make adjustments to ensure the smooth progress of the test. Furthermore, from the perspective of the overall compatibility of the equipment, the addition of the rotating wheel disc does not change the core functions of the original structure, but cleverly optimizes the manual operation link, enabling the test equipment to further improve the practicality of the manual testing mode while taking into account the high efficiency of automated testing, better meeting the needs of different testing scenarios and operators, and enhancing the comprehensive performance of the power steering column with an intermediate shaft function test equipment.

At the same time, the third angle adjustment drive drives the third angle rotation platform to rotate, and cooperates with the setting of the third rotating shaft, so that the workpiece to be tested fixed on the second mounting seat can be adjusted at multiple angles in the horizontal direction to meet various special installation angle requirements, greatly expanding the range of product types compatible with the equipment. On the other hand, from the perspective of test stability, this multi-dimensional adjustment function can adjust the workpiece to the optimal stress state when fixing it, ensuring that in subsequent input force detection, torque loading and other test links, the workpiece to be tested always remains stable, and will not be displaced or shaken due to uneven force, thereby providing a solid foundation for accurate testing, and comprehensively improving the versatility, adaptability and accuracy of the test results of the power steering column with intermediate shaft function test equipment.

In addition, this structural design enables the rear-end detection device to better simulate the actual working state during the test process, providing more real and effective data support for the performance evaluation of the power steering column with an intermediate shaft, helping to discover potential problems and make targeted improvements, and enhancing the ability of the entire test equipment to control product quality.
[0023] The second purpose of the present application is to provide a method for testing the function of a power steering column with an intermediate shaft.
[0024] A functional test method for a power steering column with an intermediate shaft, using the above-mentioned functional test equipment for the power steering column with an intermediate shaft, includes the following steps: Start the automatic calibration program of the control box; Collect ambient temperature and humidity data through the sensors set by the input force detection device and the rear section detection device; Preprocess the original sensor data using the wavelet denoising algorithm to eliminate the baseline shift of the sensor; Establish a temperature-humidity compensation coefficient matrix based on historical calibration data and store it in the non-volatile memory of the control box; Apply a preset torque by driving the second drive shaft and the third drive shaft; Collect the friction torque data of the second drive shaft and the third drive shaft in real time; Analyze the changing trend of the friction torque with temperature based on the LSTM neural network model and dynamically generate compensation parameters; Send the compensation parameters to the first drive motor and the second drive motor to correct the torque output command.

Establishing a temperature-humidity compensation coefficient matrix based on historical calibration data fully considers the influence of environmental factors on the test results and can correct the deviation caused by environmental factors in real time. Driving the second and third drive shafts to apply a preset torque and collecting their friction torque data in real time provides key data for subsequent analysis. Using the LSTM neural network model to analyze the changing trend of the friction torque with temperature and dynamically generate compensation parameters can accurately grasp the complex relationship between the two. Furthermore, sending the compensation parameters to the first and second drive motors to correct the torque output command realizes the dynamic and accurate control of the torque output during the test, making the test closer to the actual working conditions, greatly improving the accuracy, reliability and adaptability of the test results, and providing a more scientific and effective basis for the performance evaluation of the power steering column with an intermediate shaft.
[0026] Optionally, it further includes the following steps: Input relevant parameters of the workpiece to be tested through the human-machine interface of the control box; Automatically call the pre-stored three-dimensional adjustment model to calculate the required height adjustment amounts of the first lifting seat, the second lifting seat and the third lifting seat, and the angle compensation values of the first rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft, the third rotating shaft and the fourth rotating shaft; Execute height adjustment corresponding to the height adjustment amount through the first lifting drive member, the second lifting drive member and the third lifting drive member; Angle adjustment is performed by the first angle adjustment driving member, the second angle adjustment driving member, the third angle adjustment driving member and the fourth angle adjustment driving member corresponding to the angle compensation values.

The operation is simple and intuitive, reducing the requirements for the operator's professional skills. Secondly, the system automatically calls the pre-stored three-dimensional adjustment model, which can quickly and accurately calculate the height adjustment amounts required for the first, second, and third lifting seats and the angle compensation values of the first, second, third, and fourth rotating shafts, avoiding the errors and time-consuming problems that may occur in manual calculation and improving the efficiency of the test preparation stage. Furthermore, the first, second, and third lifting driving members perform height adjustment according to the calculated height adjustment amounts, and the first, second, third, and fourth angle adjustment driving members perform angle adjustment corresponding to the angle compensation values, enabling the device to automatically and accurately adjust the height and angle of each device to meet the test requirements of workpieces to be measured with different specifications and shapes, greatly enhancing the versatility and compatibility of the test device, ensuring the precise docking of each device with the workpiece to be measured during the test process, and further improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

The hydraulic lifting cylinder is powered by a hydraulic pump station, and the telescopic movement of the cylinder is controlled by an electromagnetic reversing valve to realize the lifting movement of the third lifting seat 33 relative to the third fixed seat 31. The lifting stroke of the third lifting seat 33 is feedback-controlled by a high-precision displacement sensor. A third rotating shaft 34 is provided on the third lifting seat 33, and the third rotating shaft 34 is installed on the third lifting seat 33 through tapered roller bearings and can bear large axial and radial loads. The third angle rotating platform 35 is installed on the third rotating shaft 34, and the third angle adjusting driving member 36 can adopt a manual adjusting mechanism or an electric rotating table. The electric rotating table integrates a high-precision rotary encoder and a servo motor inside, and the servo motor is connected to the rotating table through a precision reduction gear to realize high-precision angle adjustment. The third angle adjusting driving member 36 drives the third angle rotating platform 35 to adjust the angle relative to the third lifting seat 33. A second mounting seat 37 is provided on the third angle rotating platform 35, and a replaceable fixture module is designed according to the shape and size of the workpiece 9 to be measured. The fixture module is connected to the second mounting seat 37 through positioning pins and bolts, and the replacement is convenient and fast.

[0041] Refer to Figure 6, the rear-stage detection device 2 includes a fourth fixed seat 21, a fourth rotating shaft 22, a fourth angular rotation platform 23, a fourth angular adjustment driving member 24, a first power output unit 67, and a third transmission shaft 26. The fourth fixed seat 21 is fixed to the frame 1 by anchor bolts to ensure its firm installation. The fourth rotating shaft 22 is installed on the fourth fixed seat 21 through a spherical roller bearing and can adapt to certain installation errors and shafting deformations. The fourth angular rotation platform 23 is installed on the fourth rotating shaft 22, and the fourth angular adjustment driving member 24 can adopt a manual adjustment mechanism or an AC servo motor and a synchronous belt drive mechanism. The AC servo motor features high speed and high precision, and the synchronous belt drive mechanism has the advantages of smooth transmission, low noise, accurate transmission ratio, etc. The fourth angular adjustment driving member 24 drives the fourth angular rotation platform 23 to perform angular adjustment relative to the fourth fixed seat 21. The fourth angular rotation platform 23 is provided with a second power output unit 25 composed of a second driving motor and a second reduction gear, and a third transmission shaft 26 connected to the second power output unit 25. The second driving motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, and the second reduction gear adopts a harmonic reduction gear. The harmonic reduction gear has the advantages of high transmission ratio, high precision, and small volume. The second power output unit 25 provides stable and adjustable power for the third transmission shaft 26, and can accurately apply an appropriate load to the workpiece 9 to be measured, so as to more accurately monitor the output torque volatility and transmission efficiency of the workpiece 9 to be measured under torque input. A torque sensor and a speed sensor are installed on the third transmission shaft 26, which can accurately collect data in real time and transmit it to the control box 8.
[0042] Referring to Figure 8 , a basic process step of a power steering column with an intermediate shaft function test method: S101: Start the automatic calibration program of the control box 8: The operator clicks the "Start Automatic Calibration" button on the human-machine interface of the control box 8, and the control box 8 sends calibration instructions to the sensors, driving components, and detection units of each device. Each torque sensor, speed sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, etc. start to perform zero calibration and full-scale calibration. For example, the torque sensor is connected to a standard torque source, collects the output signal under the standard torque, compares it with the theoretical value, and calculates and stores the calibration coefficient. Each driving motor performs initialization positioning and returns to the preset initial position, such as the first lifting seat 63 and the first angular rotation platform 65 of the automatic test device 6, the second lifting seat 43 and the second angular rotation platform 45 of the input force detection device 4, etc., to ensure that the equipment is in the initial standard state.
[0043] S102: Collect ambient temperature and humidity data through the sensors set on the input force detection device 4 and the post-section detection device 2: The temperature and humidity sensors on the input force detection device 4 and the post-section detection device 2 are digital temperature and humidity sensors, which feature high precision and fast response. The sensors transmit the collected ambient temperature and humidity data to the signal processing module of the control box 8 through the RS485 communication interface. After preprocessing such as filtering and amplifying the data, the signal processing module transmits it to the central processor of the control box 8 for storage and analysis. The measurement accuracy of the temperature and humidity sensors is ±0.5°C for temperature and ±2%RH for humidity, which can accurately reflect the temperature and humidity changes in the test environment.
[0044] S103: Use the wavelet denoising algorithm to preprocess the original sensor data and eliminate the baseline offset of the sensors: The control box 8 uses the wavelet denoising algorithm to preprocess the original sensor data. First, select an appropriate wavelet basis function (such as the db4 wavelet) and the decomposition level (such as 4 levels) to perform wavelet decomposition on the temperature and humidity data, decomposing the data into approximation components and detail components of different scales. Then, perform threshold processing on the detail components to remove the noise components. Finally, through wavelet reconstruction, recombine the processed approximation components and detail components into the denoised temperature and humidity data, eliminate the baseline offset of the sensors, improve the quality of the data, and provide an accurate data basis for subsequent test analysis.
[0045] S104: Establish a temperature-humidity compensation coefficient matrix based on historical calibration data and store it in the non-volatile memory of the control box 8: The control box 8 retrieves a large amount of historical calibration data from the database. These data include test data under different temperature and humidity conditions and the corresponding error values. The control box 8 uses the multiple linear regression analysis method, with temperature and humidity as independent variables and test error as the dependent variable, to establish a mathematical model between temperature-humidity and test error. Through fitting and optimizing the historical data, obtain the temperature-humidity compensation coefficient matrix and store it in the non-volatile memory of the control box 8. For example, after analyzing 1500 groups of historical data, the temperature compensation coefficient matrix is [0.015, -0.025, 0.035], and the humidity compensation coefficient matrix is [-0.055, 0.045, -0.03].
[0046] S105: Apply a preset torque by driving the second drive shaft 48 and the third drive shaft 26: According to the test plan, the control box 8 sends control commands to the first drive motor of the automatic test device 6 and the second drive motor of the rear-stage detection device 2. The first drive motor and the second drive motor operate according to the preset torque curve and rotational speed, and apply a stable preset torque to the workpiece 9 to be tested through the first drive shaft 68, the second drive shaft 48, and the third drive shaft 26. For example, in this test, the preset torque is 60 N·m. Under the precise control of the control box 8, the first drive motor and the second drive motor gradually adjust the output torque so that the workpiece 9 to be tested bears a torque of 60 N·m. During the torque application process, the control box 8 monitors the torque and rotational speed of each drive shaft in real time to ensure stable and accurate torque application.
[0047] S106: Real-time collect the friction torque data of the second drive shaft 48 and the third drive shaft 26: High-precision friction torque sensors are installed on the second drive shaft 48 and the third drive shaft 26. The sensors real-time collect the friction torque data generated during the rotation of the drive shaft. The sensors transmit the collected data to the signal processing module of the control box 8 through the analog input module. After the signal processing module amplifies, filters, and processes the data, it transmits the data to the central processor of the control box 8 for storage and analysis. The measurement accuracy of the friction torque sensor is ±0.05 N·m, which can accurately capture the minute changes in the friction torque and provide accurate data support for the subsequent calculation of compensation parameters.
[0048] S107: Analyze the change trend of the friction torque with temperature based on the LSTM neural network model and dynamically generate compensation parameters: The control box 8 inputs the real-time collected friction torque data and temperature data into the pre-trained LSTM neural network model. The LSTM neural network model has been trained with a large amount of historical data and can learn the complex non-linear relationship between the friction torque and temperature. The model predicts the future change trend based on the input data and dynamically generates compensation parameters. For example, when the model predicts that the friction torque increases with the increase in temperature, it will generate corresponding positive compensation parameters to increase the output torque of the drive motor to offset the influence of the friction torque. The generation process of the compensation parameters is based on the in-depth analysis of the model on historical data and real-time data and can adapt to the changes under different test conditions.
[0049] S108: Send the compensation parameters to the first drive motor and the second drive motor to correct the torque output command: The control box 8 sends the generated compensation parameters to the controllers of the first drive motor and the second drive motor. The controller adjusts the output torque of the motor according to the compensation parameters to achieve dynamic and precise control of the torque output. For example, if the compensation parameter is +2 N·m, the controller will control the first drive motor and the second drive motor to increase the output torque by 2 N·m to ensure that the torque applied to the workpiece 9 to be measured always remains near the preset value. During the process of correcting the torque output command, the control box 8 continuously monitors the actual output value of the torque and adjusts the compensation parameters according to the feedback to form a closed-loop control to ensure the accuracy of the test.
[0050] Refer to Figure 9 , a test method for a power steering column with an intermediate shaft function is based on a workpiece adaptation adjustment step: S201: Input the relevant parameters of the workpiece 9 to be measured through the human-machine interface of the control box 8; S202: Automatically call the pre-stored three-dimensional adjustment model to calculate the required height adjustment amounts of the first lifting seat 63, the second lifting seat 43, and the third lifting seat 33, and the angle compensation values of the first rotating shaft 64, the second rotating shaft 44, the third rotating shaft 34, and the fourth rotating shaft 22; S203: Perform height adjustment through the first lifting drive member 62, the second lifting drive member 42, and the third lifting drive member 32 according to the required height adjustment amounts; S204: Perform angle adjustment through the first angle adjustment drive member 66, the second angle adjustment drive member 46, the third angle adjustment drive member 36, and the fourth angle adjustment drive member 24 according to the corresponding angle compensation values.
[0051] Specifically, the operator inputs the relevant parameters of the workpiece 9 to be measured, such as length, diameter, installation angle, etc., through the human-machine interface of the control box 8. The control box 8 automatically calls the pre-stored three-dimensional adjustment model and calculates the required height adjustment amounts of the first lifting seat 63, the second lifting seat 43, and the third lifting seat 33, as well as the angle compensation values of the first rotating shaft 64, the second rotating shaft 44, the third rotating shaft 34, and the fourth rotating shaft 22, according to the input workpiece parameters and the mechanical structure parameters of the equipment. The control box 8 sends control commands to the first lifting drive member 62, the second lifting drive member 42, the third lifting drive member 32, the first angle adjustment drive member 66, the second angle adjustment drive member 46, the third angle adjustment drive member 36, and the fourth angle adjustment drive member 24 according to the calculation results. Each drive member drives the corresponding component to perform height adjustment and angle adjustment according to the command, so that each device of the equipment can accurately adapt to the workpiece 9 to be measured, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test. During the adjustment process, the control box 8 monitors the motion state and position feedback of each drive member in real time to ensure that the adjustment actions are accurate and error-free.
[0052] Embodiment 2 In actual production, there are a wide variety of specifications for the power steering column with an intermediate shaft. When frequently replacing the workpiece 9 to be tested, the traditional manual recognition and installation methods are inefficient and error-prone. In response to this problem, this embodiment adds a multi-specification workpiece quick replacement and intelligent recognition system to the product fixing device 3 and the control box 8. On the second mounting seat 37 of the product fixing device 3, a set of intelligent fixture recognition and automatic replacement mechanism is added. The fixture module adopts a standardized design, and an electronic tag is installed on each fixture module, storing information such as the workpiece specifications and dimensions applicable to the fixture. When it is necessary to replace the workpiece 9 to be tested, the operator places the new fixture module on the second mounting seat 37, and the electronic tag reader on the mounting seat immediately reads the fixture information and transmits the data to the control box 8.
[0053] After receiving the fixture information, the control box 8 automatically calls the pre-stored test parameters and adjustment models for the corresponding workpiece. At the same time, the control box 8 obtains detailed information about the workpiece to be tested, including batch number, model, etc., by interacting with the material management system on the production line. In this way, most of the preparatory work before testing is completed by the control box 8 before the workpiece is installed on the equipment.
[0054] Based on the obtained information, the control box 8 automatically calculates and controls the height adjustment amounts of the first lifting seat 63, the second lifting seat 43, and the third lifting seat 33, as well as the angle compensation values of the first rotating shaft 64, the second rotating shaft 44, the third rotating shaft 34, and the fourth rotating shaft 22, so that each device of the equipment is adjusted to a position adapted to the new workpiece in advance. After the workpiece is installed, the operator only needs to click the "Start Test" button on the human-machine interface of the control box 8, and the equipment can quickly start the test process, greatly shortening the workpiece replacement and test preparation time and improving the test efficiency.
[0055] Embodiment 3 In order to further improve the reliability and stability of the test equipment and reduce the downtime caused by equipment failures, this embodiment adds a fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance system. A variety of types of sensors, such as vibration sensors, temperature sensors, current sensors, etc., are added to the automatic test device 6, the input force detection device 4, the rear-section detection device 2, and each driving component. These sensors collect various data during the operation of the equipment in real time, including the vibration of the motor, the temperature change of the transmission shaft, and the current fluctuation of the driving motor.
[0056] The control box 8 incorporates a fault diagnosis algorithm based on deep learning. This algorithm performs real-time analysis on the collected sensor data. By comparing it with a pre-established normal operation data model, it can quickly and accurately determine whether there is a fault in the device, as well as the type and location of the fault. For example, when the vibration sensor detects abnormal vibration of the drive shaft, the fault diagnosis algorithm can analyze characteristics such as the vibration frequency and amplitude to determine whether the fault is caused by bearing wear, shafting imbalance, or other reasons.
[0057] In addition to fault diagnosis, the system also has a predictive maintenance function. Through the analysis of historical sensor data and the training of machine learning algorithms, the system can predict the remaining service life of each component of the device. When the remaining service life of a certain component approaches the warning threshold, the control box 8 will send a warning message on the human-machine interface to remind the operator to perform maintenance or replace the component in a timely manner, avoiding sudden device failures and ensuring the continuity of the test work.
[0058] Example 4 In modern manufacturing, the need for remote monitoring and collaborative work is increasing. This example adds a remote monitoring and collaborative testing system, enabling the test equipment to achieve remote operation and multi-location collaborative testing. A remote monitoring platform based on cloud computing is built, and the control box 8 uploads information such as the real-time operation data and test results of the test equipment to the platform through the network. Operators can log in to the remote monitoring platform at any time and place through terminal devices such as computers and mobile phones to view the operation status of the equipment, the test progress, and real-time data charts. At the same time, the platform also supports video monitoring functions. Operators can observe the operation of the equipment in real time through cameras installed around the equipment.
[0059] The remote monitoring platform can not only monitor the device status but also has a remote operation function. When needed, operators can send control commands to the control box 8 through the platform to achieve remote control of the test equipment, such as starting or stopping the test, adjusting test parameters, switching test modes, etc. This function is particularly useful when the device fails. Technicians can perform fault troubleshooting and debugging remotely, reducing the time and cost of on-site maintenance.
[0060] For some complex test tasks, it may be necessary for test equipment at multiple locations to work collaboratively. The remote monitoring platform supports collaborative testing functions. Test equipment at different locations can share data and perform synchronous control through the platform. For example, when conducting an overall performance test of an automotive steering system, the power steering column with intermediate shaft test equipment located in different laboratories can conduct tests simultaneously and upload their respective test data to the platform for comprehensive analysis, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test.
[0061] Example 5 In order to better utilize test data and improve product quality, a system for in-depth analysis of test data and quality traceability is added in this embodiment. The control box 8 conducts in-depth analysis on a large amount of data collected during the test process. In addition to calculating conventional indicators such as output torque volatility and transmission efficiency, data mining and machine learning technologies are also used to conduct multi-dimensional analysis and mining on the data. For example, by performing cluster analysis on the test data of different batches of products, the differences in product performance and potential quality problems are identified; using the association rule mining algorithm, the association relationship between test parameters and product performance is analyzed to provide a basis for optimizing the test plan and product design.
[0062] A perfect quality traceability system is established, and the test data of each workpiece 9 to be tested is associated with information such as the production batch, production line, and raw materials of the product. When quality problems occur during the subsequent use of the product, the test data can be queried to quickly trace back to each link in the production process of the product, find out the possible causes of the quality problems, and facilitate the enterprise to carry out quality improvement and responsibility traceability.
[0063] The system automatically generates a visual test report based on the results of in-depth data analysis. The report displays the performance indicators, quality analysis results, and quality traceability information of the product in the form of charts, reports, etc., which is intuitive and clear, facilitating the viewing and analysis by enterprise management personnel and technical personnel, and providing strong support for the decision-making of the enterprise.
[0064] The embodiments of this specific implementation manner are all preferred embodiments of this application, and do not limit the protection scope of this application accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application shall be covered within the protection scope of this application.
