Experimental content typically includes simulation of track irregularities, development of a train dynamic model, and vibration and impact testing. The experimental results can help analyze the impact of track irregularities on train body vibration, wheel-track contact forces, and other aspects. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0031] Example
[0032] In order to study the impact of track irregularities on train operation and provide a scientific basis for the optimal design of tracks and vehicles, the present invention proposes a small-scale vehicle vibration test bench. The vehicle on this test bench is 1 / 5 to 1 / 10 of the existing vehicle, with a preferred ratio of 1 / 8. The specific structure is shown in Figure 1-4 , including: a base, a plurality of vertical vibrators 6, a plurality of support components, and a simulated vehicle;
[0033] Please see again Figure 1 , the base includes a plurality of column pairs 5 spaced apart along the X direction, and each column pair 5 includes two columns spaced apart along the Y direction;
[0034] Please see again Figure 1 , the plurality of vertical exciters 6 are respectively arranged between the columns of the plurality of column pairs for providing vertical excitation. Specifically, each of the vertical exciters 6 is arranged between two columns of the corresponding column pair 5 spaced apart along the Y direction;
[0035] Please see again Figure 1 , multiple support assemblies are respectively arranged on the upper end surfaces of multiple column pairs, and the vertical exciter 6 is used to drive the support assembly to move to simulate the vertical unevenness excitation of the track; the support assembly includes multiple support spring pairs 7 and multiple support vertical plates 4, each support spring pair 7 is respectively arranged on the upper end surface of the corresponding column pair 5, and the two ends of each support vertical plate 4 are respectively arranged on the corresponding support spring pair 7. Specifically, each support spring pair 7 includes two springs arranged along the X direction, and the two springs are arranged on the upper end surface of the corresponding column.
[0036] Please see again Figure 1 The simulated vehicle includes a plurality of steering assemblies respectively arranged on the upper end surfaces of the plurality of support assemblies, and a car body 1 arranged on the plurality of steering assemblies. The steering assembly includes a plurality of primary spring pairs 8 and a plurality of bogies 3. Each primary spring pair 8 is respectively arranged on the upper end surface of the corresponding support upright 4. Both ends of each bogie 3 are respectively arranged on the corresponding primary spring pair 8. The car body 1 is arranged on the plurality of bogies 3. The plurality of bogies 3 are provided with a plurality of secondary spring pairs 2, and are connected to the car body 1 via the plurality of secondary spring pairs 2. Each secondary spring pair 2 includes two springs arranged along the X direction, and the two springs are arranged at intervals on the upper end surface of the corresponding bogie 3.
[0037] Please see again Figure 1 The center of the support plate 4 is hinged to the output end of the vertical exciter 6. The hinge 9 between the vertical exciter 6 and the support plate 4 allows the support plate 4 to retain the degree of freedom to rotate about the x-axis, thereby simulating the excitation of horizontal track irregularities. By moving the exciter along the y-axis, the vertical excitation of the vertical exciter 6 is equivalent to a vertical excitation and a torque about the x-axis at the center of the support plate 4, thereby causing the support plate 4 to produce vertical displacement and rotation about the x-axis.
[0038] In this embodiment, both the primary spring pair 8 and the secondary spring pair 2 include a guide post 13, a first sleeve 12, a spring 11, and a second sleeve 10, which are sequentially mounted on the guide post 13. The first sleeve 12, the second sleeve 10, and the guide post 13 are bolted to the rest of the test bench: the carbody, the bogie, the support plate, and the base. This design facilitates the replacement of springs of varying stiffness during testing to simulate suspension coefficients for different trains and operating conditions. This mounting method also increases the lateral stiffness of the springs, ensuring the stability and safety of the test bench.
[0039] The primary spring pair 8 is connected in parallel, and by increasing the longitudinal span of the two springs, the rotational freedom of the bogie around the y-axis is constrained, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the test bench.
[0040] In this embodiment, the vehicle body 1 has a placement space. By changing the load placed in the placement space, the mass and moment of inertia of the vehicle body 1 are changed to simulate the operation of the train under different load conditions.
[0041] In this embodiment, the test bench further includes a signal amplifier and a signal generator; the vertical exciter 6 is connected to the signal amplifier, which in turn is connected to the signal generator. The vertical excitation provided by the two adjacent vertical exciters 6 has a phase difference. Specifically, the apparatus of this embodiment inputs a track spectrum signal to the vertical exciter 6 via the signal generator and signal amplifier, and determines the phase difference between the front and rear exciters based on a set operating speed to simulate the situation when the front and rear bogies pass over the same track surface when a train is running on actual track.
[0042] In this embodiment, the column pair 5 includes a first column and a second column arranged at an interval, and the first column and the second column have the same height.
[0043] In this embodiment, the mass of the vehicle body 1 and the moment of inertia of pitch and roll, the mass and moment of inertia of roll of the bogie 3, the spring stiffness of the primary spring pair 8, and the spring stiffness of the secondary spring pair 2 are calculated based on the actual vehicle parameters through similarity theory.
[0044] In this embodiment, the above structures or parts are assembled with bolts, so that the device provided by this embodiment is in a static equilibrium state without external excitation.
[0045] In this embodiment, the responses of the vehicle body 1 and the bogie 3 when subjected to different track irregularities can be measured using sensors such as displacement sensors, acceleration sensors, and pressure sensors.
[0046] Specific working process:
[0047] according to Figure 1 , use bolts to install the base, support spring pair 7, support vertical plate 4, primary spring pair 8, bogie 3, secondary spring pair 2, and car body 1 from bottom to top, and then make them reach a static equilibrium state under the action of gravity, then place the vertical exciter 6 on the base, use the hinge 9 to connect the vertical exciter 6 to the corresponding position of the support vertical plate 4, and finally connect the vertical exciter 6 to the signal amplifier, and the signal amplifier is connected to the signal generator. The computer inputs the track spectrum information to the signal generator. The exciter serves as the input of the test bench, and the state quantities of the car body 1 and the bogie 3 serve as the output of the test bench.
[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any other manner. Any person skilled in the art may utilize the above-disclosed technical content to modify or modify the present invention into equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications to the above embodiments that do not depart from the technical content of the present invention and are based on the technical essence of the present invention remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
