[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that terms such as "end", "upper", "lower", "side", "top", "bottom", "length", "inside", and "surface" indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0032] At present, the test and calibration structures used in the existing automotive electronic wire-controlled brake unit test devices are expensive, complex, single-function, and have low scalability. In the early development stage of the electronic wire-controlled brake unit, it is necessary to frequently disassemble and reassemble the test. This type of test device is difficult to meet the test and use requirements in the early development stage. Based on this, the present embodiment provides a test device for an electronic wire-controlled brake unit. The device has many advantages such as simple structure, easy disassembly, good scalability, and low cost.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the testing and calibration device for the electronic wire-controlled brake unit includes an electric push rod 1, an electronic wire-controlled brake unit 9, two brake calipers 7 and a bracket.

[0034] The bracket is made of aluminum profiles spliced ​​by corner brackets, with a simple structure and easy expansion. Specifically, the bracket includes a first support frame 10, a second support frame 11 and a base frame 12. The first support frame 10 and the second support frame 11 are fixedly mounted on the base frame 12, the electric push rod 1 is fixedly mounted on the first support frame 10, the electronic wire control brake unit 9 is fixedly mounted on the second support frame 11, and the brake caliper 7 is fixedly mounted on the base frame 12. The first support frame 10 and the second support frame 11 are both installed with support plates to better fix the electric push rod 1 and the electronic wire control brake unit 9.

[0035] During installation, the electric push rod 1 is fixed on the first support frame 10, a pressure sensor 4 is installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 1, and a grating ruler 2 is installed on one side of the electric push rod 1. The pressure sensor 4 is used to detect the pressure applied by the electric push rod 1, and the grating ruler 2 detects the displacement of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 1. Then the brake caliper 7 is fixed on the base frame 12, and the electronic wire control braking unit 9 to be tested and calibrated is installed on the second support frame 11. Subsequently, the electronic wire control braking unit 9 is connected to the brake caliper 7 through the brake pipeline 8. Next, the electric push rod 1 and the electronic wire control braking unit 9 are connected through the universal joint coupling 3.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, one end of the universal joint coupling 3 is connected to the electronic wire control brake unit 9 through the first transmission shaft 5 and the flat key 13; the other end of the universal joint coupling 3 is connected to the pressure sensor 4 through the second transmission shaft 6 and the flat key 13.

[0037] Among them, the universal joint coupling 3 preferably adopts a telescopic universal joint coupling, which can effectively compensate for the dimensional error caused by the entire structural installation process, reduce the installation accuracy requirements, and ensure that the detection accuracy during use meets the requirements, effectively reducing costs.

[0038] The debugging actions of the electronic wire control brake unit 9 in this embodiment are as follows:

[0039] Initially, the electric push rod 1 is given a displacement, which is transmitted to the electronic wire control brake unit 9 through the universal joint coupling 3. The internal hydraulic pipeline generates pressure, and the two brake calipers 7 are clamped through the brake pipeline 8. Thus, the positive input torque, reverse thrust, input-output characteristics and other parameter indicators of the electronic wire control brake unit 9 are obtained through the pressure sensor 4 and the grating ruler 2.
