Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, specifically a test frame for suspension springs in converted gasoline vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are vehicles that are powered by an onboard power source, using an electric motor to drive the wheels, and that meet all road traffic and safety regulations. Because they have a relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their future prospects are widely viewed as promising.

[0003] Converting a gasoline-powered car into an electric vehicle involves replacing the engine with an electric motor as the power source. This requires transmitting the motor's torque to the transmission system. Currently, the suspension springs used in converting gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles are incompatible with those used in gasoline cars. Therefore, testing is necessary to resolve this mismatch. However, traditional suspension spring testing racks require bolts to secure the springs, a cumbersome and inconvenient process. To address this, we provide a suspension spring testing rack for converted gasoline-powered cars that solves these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a test frame for suspension springs in electric vehicles converted from gasoline vehicles. The frame is easy to use for fixing the suspension springs and is convenient to operate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a test frame for suspension springs of a converted electric vehicle, comprising a housing, wherein a spring fixing mechanism is provided inside the housing, the spring fixing mechanism includes an inner frame embedded inside the housing, an annular airbag is provided inside the housing, and a pull rod arranged in a ring array is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the annular airbag, one end of the pull rod away from the annular airbag passes through the inner frame and extends into the interior of the inner frame, and a buckle is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod located inside the inner frame, and a spring body is placed inside the buckle, and a telescopic spring is wound around the outer surface of each pull rod, one end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner frame, and the other end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pull rod.

[0006] Furthermore, an air injection tube is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the annular airbag. One end of the air injection tube penetrates the outer shell and extends to the outside of the outer shell. A valve is fitted on the outer surface of the air injection tube to facilitate the operator to inject air into the annular airbag. At the same time, the valve can limit the air injection tube to prevent gas leakage inside the annular airbag and affect the normal use of the annular airbag.

[0007] Furthermore, a fixing base is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the outer shell, and the upper surface of the fixing base is provided with fixing screw holes arranged in a ring, which facilitates the staff to fix the test frame by screwing, thereby improving the test frame.

[0008] Furthermore, a friction pad is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed base. The bottom surface of the friction pad is rough. The friction pad can further increase the friction between the fixed base and the mounting platform, improve the stability of the test frame during use, and prevent the test frame from sliding on the surface of the mounting platform, thus affecting the normal use of the test frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a pressure plate is provided at the top of the spring body, and a round hole is provided in the middle of the pressure plate to facilitate the connection of the spring body with the pressure equipment for pressure testing, thereby facilitating the testing of the spring body and improving the overall ease of operation.

[0010] Furthermore, a disc is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer shell, and an annular placement groove is formed on the upper surface of the disc. The staff can place the tools in the placement groove during the testing process, which is convenient for storing the tools and avoids the tools being lost during use.

[0011] Furthermore, an operation sign is provided on the front of the housing. The operation sign is fixedly connected to the housing by bolts, which can effectively remind the staff to operate according to the correct method and avoid spring test failure due to improper operation.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this test fixture for suspension springs in converted electric vehicles has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This utility model utilizes an annular airbag that expands under air to push the pull rods closer together. The pull rods then push the buckles closer together. Afterward, the worker places the spring body inside the buckle. The worker then expels the air from the annular airbag, and the telescopic spring pushes the pull rods, causing the pull rods to pull the buckles away from each other. The buckles work on the bottom end of the spring body. Afterward, the worker can test the fixed suspension spring.

[0014] 2. This utility model features a fixed base that allows workers to easily secure the test frame with a screw, thus improving its height. A pressure plate facilitates the connection between the spring body and the pressure equipment for pressure testing, enhancing overall operational convenience. The disc design allows workers to store tools during testing in a designated slot, preventing tool loss. Operation labels effectively remind workers to operate correctly, avoiding test failures due to improper operation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] A friction pad 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed base 7. The bottom surface of the friction pad 8 is rough. The friction pad 8 can further increase the friction between the fixed base 7 and the installation platform, improve the stability of the test frame during use, and prevent the test frame from sliding on the surface of the installation platform, which would affect the normal use of the test frame.

[0024] The outer shell 1 is provided with a spring fixing mechanism 2 inside. The spring fixing mechanism 2 includes an inner frame 203 embedded inside the outer shell 1. The outer shell 1 is provided with an annular airbag 201 inside.

[0025] An airbag 201 has an inflation tube 9 fixedly connected to its outer surface. One end of the inflation tube 9 passes through the outer shell 1 and extends to the outside of the outer shell 1. A valve is fitted on the outer surface of the inflation tube 9 to facilitate the inflation of the airbag 201 by the operator. At the same time, the valve can limit the inflation tube 9 to prevent gas leakage inside the airbag 201 and affect the normal use of the airbag.

[0026] The inner ring of the annular airbag 201 is fixedly connected to a pull rod 204 arranged in a ring. The end of the pull rod 204 away from the annular airbag 201 passes through the inner frame 203 and extends into the interior of the inner frame 203. The end of the pull rod 204 located inside the inner frame 203 is fixedly connected to a buckle 205. A spring body 5 is placed inside the buckle 205.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 A slip ring is embedded at the position where the pull rod 204 passes through the inner frame 203, and the outer surface of the pull rod 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slip ring, which can effectively reduce the friction between the pull rod 204 and the inner frame 203 and prevent the outer surface of the pull rod 204 from wearing out after long-term use.

[0028] The top of the spring body 5 is provided with a pressure plate 4, and a round hole is provided in the middle of the pressure plate 4 to facilitate the connection of the spring body 5 with the pressure equipment for pressure testing. This facilitates the testing of the spring body 5 and improves the overall ease of operation.

[0029] Each pull rod 204 has a telescopic spring 202 wound around its outer surface. One end of the telescopic spring 202 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner frame 203, and the other end of the telescopic spring 202 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pull rod 204.

[0030] A disc 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer shell 1. An annular placement groove is provided on the upper surface of the disc 3. The staff can place the tools in the placement groove during the test to facilitate the storage of the tools and avoid the loss of the tools during use.

[0031] An operation sign 6 is provided on the front of the outer casing 1. The operation sign 6 is fixedly connected to the outer casing 1 by bolts, which can effectively remind the staff to operate according to the correct method and avoid the failure of spring test due to improper operation.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the outer shell 1. The bottom end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular airbag 201, which can effectively increase the stability of the annular airbag 201 during use.

[0033] Working principle: First, air is injected into the annular airbag 201 through the air injection pipe 9 using an air compressor or other equipment. The annular airbag 201 expands under air, pushing the pull rods 204 closer together. The pull rods 204 then push the buckles 205 closer together. After that, the operator places the spring body 5 inside the buckles 205. Then, the operator expels the air from inside the annular airbag 201. The telescopic spring 202 pushes the pull rods 204, causing the pull rods 204 to pull the buckles 205 away from each other. The buckles 205 work on the bottom end of the spring body 5. After that, the operator can test the fixed suspension spring.
