[0002] An engine is assembled from a variety of components. Due to the wide variety of components and differences in processing, it is difficult to precisely standardize its external dimensions and installation posture. At the same time, in order to ensure the flow of media between components, avoid interfering with the normal operation of components, and save internal space, engine systems are often built using on-site welding of pipelines.

[0003] The above assembly method presents challenges to the design of vibration testing fixtures. First, vibration environment tests need to reproduce the actual working state of the product. Second, 3D software cannot reproduce the routing of customized pipelines on-site. In existing technologies, dedicated fixtures are generally designed for single components with small size and uniform orientation, which cannot be adapted to vibration environment tests of multiple components under customized pipelines on-site. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a universal multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture. This fixture can be adapted to different specifications of test products by adjusting the thickness of the clamping shims, thus achieving universality. At the same time, the three-degree-of-freedom adjustable fixture matches the posture of the test product, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the product and the fixture.

[0005] The solution of the present invention is: A generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration testing fixture, including a planar motion mechanism, a vertical motion mechanism, and a clamping mechanism; The planar motion mechanism is a horizontally placed plate-like structure; the planar motion mechanism is installed on the platform of the external vibration table and is fixed to the external vibration table by bolts; the vertical motion mechanism is fixed to the upper surface of the planar motion mechanism; and the clamping mechanism is set on the vertical motion mechanism.

[0006] In the aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture, the planar motion mechanism includes a first base plate, a T-nut, and bolts; The first base plate has a T-shaped groove on its upper surface for placing a T-shaped nut; the bottom surface of the vertical motion mechanism has a countersunk hole corresponding to the T-shaped groove for placing a bolt; the vertical motion mechanism is installed in the rectangular groove of the first base plate by the threaded engagement of the T-shaped nut and the bolt.

[0007] In the aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture, the T-shaped grooves are arranged in a matrix; the countersunk holes are arranged in a matrix with corresponding interval sizes.

[0008] In the aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture, the vertical motion mechanism includes a second base plate, four columns, four ribs, a crossbar, four long bolts, double nuts, four T-nuts, and four bolts. The second base plate is a rectangular plate structure; four columns are symmetrically arranged in pairs, and all four columns are vertically installed on the upper surface of the second base plate; a rib is installed between the side wall of each column and the second base plate; a horizontal column is installed horizontally in the middle of the four columns; the columns have through holes along their axes; each long bolt passes through the corresponding column axially, and is locked at both ends of the long bolt by double nuts, thus fixing the column to the second base plate; a T-nut is fitted onto the outer wall of each long bolt; the front side wall of the column has a long through hole; the horizontal extension rod of the T-nut extends out from the long through hole in the front side wall of the column; the horizontal column is horizontally set at the front side wall of the four columns; the bottom of the horizontal column has four through holes, allowing the horizontal extension rods of the four T-nuts to extend into the four through holes of the horizontal column; each horizontal extension rod of the T-nut is fitted with a bolt, and the horizontal extension rod of the bolt locks the horizontal column by cooperating with the nut.

[0009] In the aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture, the vertical rod of the T-nut is fitted onto the outer wall of the long bolt; a locking nut is provided at each of the upper and lower ends of the vertical rod of the T-nut.

[0010] In the aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture, the vertical rod of the T-nut moves up and down along the axial direction of the long bolt; after moving to the preset position, it is locked and limited by the upper and lower locking nuts.

[0011] In the aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration testing fixture, the clamping mechanism includes a clamp and a locking nut; The clamp is horizontally installed on the upper surface of the crossbar; the bottom of the clamp is fixed to the crossbar by a lock nut.

[0012] In the aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture, the height of the clamp is adjusted by adjusting the height of the four T-nuts, which in turn adjusts the upper limit of the horizontal column; the horizontal position of the clamp is adjusted by adjusting the position of the vertical motion mechanism on the planar motion mechanism, thus aligning the clamp with the position required for fixing the product under test.

[0013] In the aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture, the corresponding clamps are replaced according to the different shapes of the positions that need to be fixed on the product under test; and a vertical motion mechanism is added according to the different number of positions that need to be fixed on the product under test.

[0014] The aforementioned generalized multi-degree-of-freedom vibration test fixture is characterized by having a shim on the clamp; by selecting the thickness of the shim on the clamp, the installation dimensions of the clamp can be finely adjusted.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are: (1) The planar motion mechanism proposed in this invention is designed with a T-slot structure based on the fixed-spacing countersunk holes of the mating object, which combines the adaptability of the motion table with the flexibility of planar position adjustment, and can accurately match the planar installation requirements of the product to be tested; (2) The present invention proposes a vertical motion mechanism, which strengthens the load-bearing strength of the vertical structure by welding ribs, and achieves anti-loosening design by fastening with double nuts.
