Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of measurement and testing technology, specifically to a testing device for shock-absorbing springs in automotive suspension systems. Background Technology
[0002] Shock absorber springs in automotive suspension systems are core components that ensure vehicle stability, ride comfort, and driving safety. Leaf springs are a common type of shock absorber spring, and their static stiffness directly determines the shock absorption effect of the suspension system, thus affecting the vehicle's handling performance and ride smoothness. Therefore, accurate static stiffness testing of leaf springs is a crucial step in the production and testing process of automotive parts, and an important means of ensuring product quality and avoiding vehicle malfunctions caused by substandard spring stiffness.
[0003] However, most existing leaf spring static stiffness testing equipment on the market uses a single-direction clamping mechanism, which cannot securely clamp the leaf spring from multiple directions such as up, down, left, and right. Furthermore, it lacks precise angle adjustment and limiting structures, making the leaf spring prone to lateral displacement, loosening, or even falling off during the test. This results in uneven application of loading force, directly affecting the accuracy of the test data and failing to truly reflect the actual stiffness performance of the leaf spring. Summary of the Invention

The adjusting groove 21 is a convex groove. Two adjusting sliders 22 are slidably connected inside the adjusting groove 21. Both adjusting sliders 22 are convex blocks and are arranged symmetrically vertically. The left side of each adjusting slider 22 extends out of the adjusting groove 21. The left side of each adjusting slider 22 is fixedly connected to the two clamping plates 20. A drive shaft 23 is installed inside the adjusting groove 21 and positioned between the two adjusting sliders 22. Two threaded rods 24 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the drive shaft 23, respectively. The ends of the two threaded rods 24 that are far apart from each other thread through the two adjusting sliders 22. The two threaded rods 24 are rotatably connected to the top and bottom walls of the adjustment groove 21, respectively, and the threads of the two threaded rods 24 are opposite. The worm gear 25 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission shaft 23. The motor assembly 26 is fixedly connected to the front side of the second clamping block 19. The output shaft of the motor assembly 26 extends rotatably into the interior of the adjustment groove 21. The worm 27 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the output shaft of the motor assembly 26. The rear end of the worm 27 is rotatably connected to the rear wall of the adjustment groove 21.

[0062] Furthermore, before the test begins, the user activates the electric push rod 14 according to the length of the leaf spring to be tested. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod 14 drives the front moving block 10 to slide inside the transmission groove 8. The front moving block 10 drives the right toothed plate 13 to move. The right toothed plate 13 drives the gear 12 to rotate around the connecting shaft 11. The gear 12 drives the left toothed plate 13 to move in the opposite direction. The left toothed plate 13 drives the rear moving block 10 to move synchronously. The two moving blocks 10 pass through the two connecting ports 9 respectively, thereby driving the two support platforms 6 to move synchronously in the opposite direction, completing the spacing adjustment of the two support platforms 6. After the spacing adjustment is completed, the leaf spring is placed on the two support platforms 6, and the two positioning rods 7 are pushed. The two positioning rods 7 pass through the lugs of the leaf spring, positioning and installing the leaf spring on the two support platforms 6.
[0063] At this time, the leaf spring extends between the two clamping plates 20 of the first clamping block 18 and the two clamping plates 20 of the second clamping block 19. The user rotates the second clamping block 19, which drives the connecting block 31 to move. The connecting block 31 drives the anti-detachment block 32 to slide inside the anti-detachment ring groove 29. The connecting ring groove 30 provides movement space for the connecting block 31. The anti-detachment block 32 cooperates with the anti-detachment ring groove 29 to prevent the second clamping block 19 from falling off. The first top block 33 and the second top block 34 cooperate to limit the rotation angle of the second clamping block 19. After rotation, the first clamping block 18 corresponds to the upper and lower sides of the leaf spring, and the second clamping block 19 corresponds to the left and right sides of the leaf spring.
[0064] Then, the motor assembly 26 on the first clamping block 18 and the second clamping block 19 is activated. The output shaft of the motor assembly 26 drives the worm gear 27 to rotate, the worm gear 27 drives the worm wheel 25 to rotate, the worm wheel 25 drives the transmission shaft 23 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 23 drives the two threaded rods 24 to rotate synchronously. The two threaded rods 24 with opposite directions of rotation drive the two adjusting sliders 22 to move towards each other inside the adjusting groove 21. The two adjusting sliders 22 drive the two clamping plates 20 to move closer to each other. The two clamping plates 20 on the first clamping block 18 clamp and fix the upper and lower sides of the leaf spring, and the two clamping plates 20 on the second clamping block 19 clamp and fix the left and right sides of the leaf spring. The two dustproof blocks 28 block the adjusting groove 21 with brush bristles to prevent dust from entering the adjusting groove 21.
[0065] After clamping and fixing, start the hydraulic press assembly 3 through the control panel 5. The hydraulic rod of the hydraulic press assembly 3 drives the hydraulic block 4 to move downward. The pressure sensor on the lower side of the hydraulic block 4 contacts the leaf spring and applies pressure to complete the stiffness test of the leaf spring.
[0066] During the test, the leaf spring deforms under stress, which moves the first clamping block 18. The first clamping block 18 moves the connecting rod 17, and the connecting rod 17 moves the limiting block 16 to slide inside the limiting groove 15. The limiting block 16 and the limiting groove 15 cooperate to guide and limit the movement of the first clamping block 18, ensuring the stability of the test process. The workbench 1 provides support for the overall equipment, and the fixed frame 2 provides fixed support for the hydraulic press assembly 3. The test data is transmitted to the control panel 5 through the pressure sensor for acquisition and display, completing the static stiffness test of the leaf spring.

[0069] Hydraulic press assembly 3: Hydraulic press assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixed frame 2. The hydraulic rod of hydraulic press assembly 3 can slide through the fixed frame 2. Hydraulic press assembly 3 provides the static loading force required for testing. During testing, hydraulic press assembly 3 is started through control panel 5.

At the same time, they work with the positioning rod 7 to achieve the initial positioning of the leaf spring, ensuring that the leaf spring does not undergo lateral displacement during the test.
[0073] Positioning rods 7: There are two positioning rods 7 in total. The two positioning rods 7 are installed on the left side of the two support platforms 6 respectively. The right ends of the two positioning rods 7 pass through the corresponding support platforms 6 respectively. The positioning rods 7 position and fix the leaf spring. During the test, the two positioning rods 7 are passed through the lugs of the leaf spring, and then the leaf spring is fixedly installed on the two support platforms 6 to prevent the leaf spring from loosening or falling off during the test and to ensure the stability of the clamping.
[0074] Transmission groove 8: The transmission groove 8 is located inside the worktable 1. The interior of the transmission groove 8 is used to install components such as the moving block 10, connecting shaft 11, gear 12, and gear plate 13. The top wall of the transmission groove 8 is used to open two connection ports 9. The transmission groove 8 provides installation and movement space for each component of the adjustment mechanism, restricts the movement trajectory of each component, and ensures that the adjustment mechanism can stably and smoothly drive the support table 6 to move.
[0075] Connection port 9: There are two connection ports 9 in total. Both connection ports 9 are opened on the top wall of the transmission groove 8. The upper side of both connection ports 9 extends out to the worktable 1. The two connection ports 9 are arranged symmetrically front and back. The connection ports 9 provide a through channel for the moving block 10, allowing the upper side of the moving block 10 to pass through the connection port 9 to extend out to the worktable 1 and be fixedly connected to the support platform 6, so as to realize the power transmission between the moving block 10 and the support platform 6.
[0076] Movable blocks 10: There are two movable blocks 10 in total. Both movable blocks 10 are slidably connected inside the transmission groove 8. Both movable blocks 10 are T-shaped blocks. The upper sides of the two movable blocks 10 extend out of the worktable 1 through the two connection ports 9 respectively. The upper sides of the two movable blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the two support platforms 6 respectively. The two movable blocks 10 transmit power. The front movable block 10 receives the driving force of the electric push rod 14, and the rear movable block 10 receives the driving force of the toothed plate 13. The two movable blocks 10 slide synchronously in opposite directions, thereby driving the two support platforms 6 to move synchronously in opposite directions, so as to realize the adjustment of the spacing of the support platforms 6.
[0077] Connecting shaft 11: The connecting shaft 11 is located inside the transmission groove 8.

Connecting block 31 connects the second clamping block 19 and the anti-detachment block 32, and transmits the rotational power of the second clamping block 19. When the user rotates the second clamping block 19, the second clamping block 19 drives the connecting block 31 to move. The connecting block 31 drives the anti-detachment block 32 to slide inside the anti-detachment ring groove 29, thereby realizing the rotational adjustment of the second clamping block 19.
[0098] Anti-detachment block 32: Anti-detachment block 32 is fixedly connected to the rear side of connecting block 31. Anti-detachment block 32 is slidably connected inside anti-detachment ring groove 29. Anti-detachment block 32 plays the role of preventing detachment and transmitting power. Anti-detachment block 32 cooperates with anti-detachment ring groove 29 to prevent connecting block 31 and second clamping block 19 from falling off the first clamping block 18. At the same time, it transmits the movement of connecting block 31, so that the second clamping block 19 can rotate stably around the first clamping block 18, ensuring the stability of the rotation action.
[0099] First top block 33: The first top block 33 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the outer surface of the first clamping block 18. The first top block 33 cooperates with the second top block 34 to limit the rotation angle of the second clamping block 19. When the second clamping block 19 rotates to a suitable angle, the second top block 34 will contact the first top block 33. The first top block 33 blocks the second top block 34 from continuing to move, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the second clamping block 19 and ensuring that the second clamping block 19 can be accurately aligned with the left and right sides of the leaf spring, thus ensuring clamping accuracy.
[0100] Second top block 34: The second top block 34 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the second clamping block 19. The second top block 34, together with the first top block 33, restricts the rotation angle of the second clamping block 19. When the user rotates the second clamping block 19, the second clamping block 19 drives the second top block 34 to move. When the second top block 34 contacts the first top block 33, the second clamping block 19 stops rotating, thereby achieving precise limiting of the rotation angle of the second clamping block 19 and ensuring that the clamping mechanism can accurately clamp the leaf spring.
