[0030] The transmission assembly valve body test equipment and test method provided by the application have the following beneficial effects:

[0031] (1) Integrated test platform, realizing one-stop detection of multiple parameters

[0032] Through the combined design of the upper and lower docking mechanisms on the tray in the test bin, comprehensive tests of rotating speed / torque, flow and pressure can be completed at the same station, the motor-driven test shaft of the upper oil passage block assembly simulates different working condition rotating speeds, and the pressure is adjusted in cooperation with the hydraulic oil supply system, so that the gear pump torque, oil port flow and pressure data can be synchronously obtained.

[0033] (2) Simulate loading conditions to improve test authenticity and reliability

At the same time, the transmission member is connected to the test shaft and the gear pump through the spline, and the torque transmission is without slip, ensuring the authenticity and effectiveness of the test data of rotation speed / torque;

[0035] (Three) Automatic positioning and docking, reducing manual intervention

[0036] The tray lifting mechanism is inserted into the positioning hole of the product tray through four positioning rods, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.1mm. The lifting assembly and the lower oil passage block lifting assembly drive the upper and lower oil passage blocks to automatically dock the oil ports. The whole process does not require manual adjustment. The conveying mechanism automatically sends the valve body into the test chamber and automatically sends it out after the test is completed, greatly reducing labor costs and material losses.

[0037] (Four) Multi-mode test switching, covering all functional detection requirements

[0038] The valve body performance is verified through three test modes: mode one tests the gear pump meshing and the smoothness of the oil inlet and outlet ports, mode two detects the flow distribution of the motor shaft and differential lubricating oil holes, and mode three tests the C1 port pressure controlled by the electromagnetic valve through the energized assembly. This design covers all key parameter detection required for valve body production, improves the adaptability of traditional single-function equipment by 80%, and completes the whole process test without replacing the equipment;

[0039] (Five) Stable support and precise guidance, ensuring the accuracy of high-pressure testing

[0040] During high-pressure testing, the support assembly forms four-point support on the bearing table (74) through the translation cylinder driving the support column, with a bearing capacity of 500kg and a deformation of the bearing table ≤0.01mm, and the test data fluctuation amplitude ≤1%. The movable rod of the lifting assembly cooperates with the sleeve to ensure the smooth lifting of the upper oil passage block and the bump-free docking of the oil port, further improving the stability of the test data.

[0041] (Six) Modular design and convenient maintenance, reducing use cost

[0042] The core components such as the upper and lower oil passage blocks adopt standardized interfaces, and the replacement of adapters for different types of valves only takes 10 minutes. The hydraulic oil supply system is independently laid out, which is convenient for maintenance and pressure calibration. The annual maintenance cost of the equipment is reduced by 60% compared with traditional multiple equipment combination. The test wire harness follows the product tray, reducing wiring loss and prolonging service life.
