Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of axle compressive strength testing technology, and more specifically, to a testing device for the compressive strength of automotive axles. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the axle is a key load-bearing component, and its compressive strength is directly related to the safety and durability of the entire vehicle. Currently, the industry generally uses static load testing to evaluate the mechanical properties of axles, that is, to collect its stress and shear strength data under fixed pressure. Although this method can reflect the state of the axle under stable working conditions, in actual driving, the axle often faces complex and changing road conditions and dynamic loads, especially the instantaneous unbalanced forces caused by bumpy road sections.
[0003] However, most existing testing methods are difficult to simulate such dynamic working conditions; the testing process is often limited to a single static environment and cannot reproduce the changes in alternating stress and shear force at both ends of the axle due to undulations when the vehicle is driving on a bumpy road; this limitation leads to deviations between the test data and the real working conditions, making it difficult to comprehensively evaluate the compressive strength and structural reliability of the axle under comprehensive load conditions.
[0004] Therefore, effectively simulating the stress state of vehicle axles under dynamic loads, especially in bumpy environments, without leaving the laboratory conditions has become the key to improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of testing. There is an urgent need for a testing solution that can integrate static pressure testing and dynamic road condition simulation to more realistically reflect the performance of vehicle axles in actual use and provide more sufficient data support for design and improvement.

A support shaft 307 is provided between the two sets of limiting sliders 308 on the same side of the two sets of mounting bases 301.

A fourth spring 310 is provided at both the upper and lower ends of the limiting slider 308 and is fastened to the inner wall of the second limiting groove 311. The support platform 306 is sleeved on the outer side of the support shaft 307 and can be deflected to both sides. The two ends of the support shaft 307 are fastened to the limiting slider 308.
[0048] Two sets of mounting bases 301 are provided with a first limiting groove 303 in the middle of one side of each other. Several sets of support sleeves 304 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the first limiting groove 303. A counterweight base 309 is provided in the middle of the top of the axle to be tested 500. The two ends of the counterweight base 309 are sleeved on the outside of the support sleeves 304. The counterweight base 309 is provided with sliding holes that are compatible with the support sleeves 304. The diameter of the sliding holes is larger than the diameter of the support sleeves 304.
[0049] The top of the counterweight base 309 is provided with an adaptable counterweight block 305, which can be increased or decreased according to the testing requirements.
[0050] The usage process of the testing equipment for the compressive strength of automobile axles proposed in this embodiment is as follows: When the device is in use, the stress and shear strength of the axle 500 to be tested are collected by the data acquisition device and fed back to the control terminal, thereby realizing the function of collecting compressive strength information. The data acquisition device and the control terminal are both sensor devices in the prior art, and their working principle is exactly the same as that of the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0051] When it is necessary to test the compressive strength of the axle 500 to be tested, the tires 400 are mounted on both ends of the axle 500 to be tested, and then the bottom of the axle 500 to be tested is supported by the support base 306.
[0052] At this time, one end of the tire 400 is supported on the top of the support roller 302, and the other end is supported on the top of the support ring 203;
[0053] By pressing the counterweight base 309 onto the top of the axle 500 to be tested, the counterweight base 309 generates a downward load pressure on the top of the axle 500 to be tested. At the same time, according to the actual testing needs, counterweight blocks 305 of different weights can be added to the top of the counterweight base 309, thereby realizing the compressive performance test of the axle 500 under different counterweight conditions.
[0054] During the process of counterweighting the counterweight block 305, the support ring 203 is initially in a stationary state, which in turn makes the axle under test 500 in a stationary state. At this time, data can be collected on the load of the axle under test 500 in a stationary state.
[0055] Then the drive motor 205 is started to drive the support disk 204 at the top of the transmission shaft 209 to rotate, which in turn drives the support ring 203 to rotate. At this time, the top of the support ring 203 is also equipped with several sets of boss assemblies 202.
[0056] As the support ring 203 rotates, the boss assembly 202 rotates synchronously. When the boss assembly 202 rotates to the position of the tire 400, it exerts an upward pushing force on the tire 400, causing the tire 400 to move upward, which in turn causes one end of the axle 500 to be tested to lift up.
[0057] By tilting one end of the axle under test 500, the system simulates the unbalanced load on the left and right sides of the axle under test on a bumpy road section under load. This allows the axle under test 500 to show the changes in stress and shear strength under this condition, thereby achieving data acquisition and improving the comprehensiveness of the test of the axle under test 500.
[0058] Meanwhile, the different compressions exerted on the tire 400 by the boss components 202 of different heights result in different heights of the axle under test 500 being raised at one end, thereby increasing the diversity of the simulation data.
[0059] During the process of the tire 400 being subjected to force, the support ring 203 applies pressure to the hinge slide 2068 in the opposite direction and downward, thereby causing the hinge rod 2063 to extend and move, and causing the hinge slide 2068 to slide inside the slide groove 213. At the same time, the support piston rod 2064 moves up and down inside the piston cavity 212. The rebound force of the second spring 2065 and the third spring 2067 neutralizes the force, thereby maintaining the stability of the position structure of the support ring 203.
[0060] At the same time, the fastening connection between the support disc 204 and the support ring 203 causes the support disc 204 to tilt as well. Through the cooperation of the support slide rod 208 and the first spring 210, the support disc 204 can maintain the stability of its position structure, and thus continue to drive the support ring 203 to rotate.
[0061] During the process of one end of the axle under test 500 being raised, the bottom of the axle under test 500 is supported by the support platform 306, and the support platform 306 is simultaneously subjected to the elastic force of the fourth spring 310, thereby keeping the support platform 306 in contact with the bottom of the axle under test 500. At the same time, the support platform 306 can deflect to the outside of the support shaft 307, thereby making the top of the support platform 306 fit more tightly with the bottom of the axle under test 500, playing a role in stable support.
[0062] Through the cooperation of the above components, the static and dynamic comprehensive compressive performance test of the axle under test was realized, simulating the stress and shear strength changes of the axle under load when driving on a bumpy roadbed, so as to provide more comprehensive test data.
[0063] The specific implementation methods of the embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the specific implementation methods described above. The specific implementation methods described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the embodiments of the present invention, all of which are within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
