[0037] In a feasible embodiment of the utility model, a guide mechanism 7 is arranged in the operating bracket 6; the upper end of the guide mechanism 7 is connected to the shift head of the operating assembly 4, and is used to limit the circular motion of the shift head when shifting gears to the linear motion between the first loading cylinder 5 and the second loading cylinder 8, and can also simulate the force condition at the shift head when the operating assembly 4 is installed on the transmission; the two sides of the guide mechanism 7 are respectively abutted against the cylinder rods of the first loading cylinder 5 and the second loading cylinder 8.

[0038] In a feasible implementation of the present invention, see Figure 4 a and Figure 4 b. The guide mechanism 7 includes a slide rail, which is fixed on the test platform 10 and on which a slider is installed; a groove is provided on the upper end of the slider, which is used to limit the position of the dial head of the operating assembly 4; the two sides of the slider are respectively in contact with the cylinder rods of the first loading cylinder 5 and the second loading cylinder 8; when loading, the operating dial head does not directly contact the two loading cylinder rods, but indirectly contacts them through the slider, which not only protects the dial head, but also ensures that the cylinder is only subjected to axial force.

[0039] In a feasible implementation of the present invention, see Figure 5 a and Figure 5 b. The limiting mechanism 3 includes two vertically arranged limiting plates; the cylinder rod of the actuating cylinder 1 passes through the two limiting plates; a limiting plate 2 is fixed on the cylinder rod of the actuating cylinder 1; the limiting plate 2 is located between the two limiting plates. Figure 6 a and Figure 6 b. The limiting plate 2 is circular with a hole in the middle; the limiting plate 2 is sleeved on the cylinder rod of the actuating cylinder 1.

[0040] In a feasible implementation manner of the present invention, the control bracket 6 and the control assembly 4 are fixed by a cover plate 11; the cover plate 11 and the control bracket 6 are detachably connected by bolts, and a variety of different models of control assemblies can be adapted by quickly replacing the cover plate 11 on the control bracket 6.

[0041] In a feasible implementation mode of the present invention, as Figure 2 As shown, the test platform 10 is also equipped with a gear selection bracket 9. Figure 7 a and Figure 7 b; the gear selection bracket 9 is located on one side of the operating assembly 4. The gear selection bracket 9 is used to install the actuating cylinder 1 when performing the gear selection test. When performing the gear selection test, the actuating cylinder 1 is installed on the gear selection bracket 9 and adjusted to a suitable position to quickly perform the gear selection life test. Figure 3 A plurality of mounting holes are provided on the test platform 10 for facilitating adjustment of the mounting positions of the components.

[0042] The assembly process of the utility model is as follows:

[0043] Shift mode:

[0044] (1) Install the control bracket 6 and the slide rail slider on the test platform 10, and then install the control assembly 4 on the control bracket 6, ensuring that the control shift knob is in the groove of the slider during installation and there is enough space for the shift action;

[0045] (2) Install the actuating cylinder 1 and the limiting mechanism 3 on the test platform 10, install the limiting plate 2 on the cylinder rod of the actuating cylinder 1 and connect it to the shift rocker arm on the control assembly 4, adjust the position of the actuating cylinder 1 and the limiting mechanism 3 to ensure that the control assembly 4 has enough space to perform the shift action and stops at the maximum shift position;

[0046] (3) Install the first loading cylinder 5 and the second loading cylinder 8 on the test platform 10, and adjust their installation positions so that the slider where the shift head is located can directly push the two cylinders when the operating assembly 4 shifts gears.

[0047] Shift mode:

[0048] (1) Install the control bracket 6 on the test platform 10, and then install the control assembly 4 on the control bracket 6;

[0049] (2) Install the gear selection bracket 9 on the test platform 10, install the actuating cylinder 1 on the gear selection bracket 9, adjust it to a suitable position, and connect the actuating cylinder 1 to the gear selection rocker arm of the operating assembly 4.

[0050] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0051] (1) After the test system is assembled, the status is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the free position is neutral, the first loading cylinder 5 on the left is ventilated on the left, and the second loading cylinder 8 on the right is ventilated, so that the cylinder rods at the load ends are moved to the limit positions respectively, and at the same time push against the slider of the guide mechanism 7, so that the operating assembly 4 is in the neutral position. When the right air cavity of the actuating cylinder 1 starts to take in air, the actuating cylinder 1 pushes the shift rocker arm of the operating assembly 4, and the shift dial head rotates to the left end, and the shift dial head pushes the slider of the guide mechanism 7 to move to the left. In the process, it is necessary to overcome the internal resistance of the left air cavity of the first loading cylinder 5. Due to the left and right restrictions of the limit mechanism 3, the cylinder rod of the actuating cylinder 1 installed with the limit plate 2 drives the shift rocker arm to stay in the set position. The above process is the process from neutral to left gear.

[0052] (2) After the shift rocker arm of the operating assembly 4 stays at the left position for a set time, the gas in the right air chamber of the actuating cylinder 1 is discharged through the solenoid valve. At this time, the input force gradually disappears, and the gas pressure inside the left air chamber of the first loading cylinder 5 begins to push the slider to the right. The slider pushes the shift knob until the cylinder rod of the first loading cylinder 5 reaches the limit position, that is, returns to the neutral position. At this time, the shift rocker arm and the shift knob of the operating assembly 4 are both back to the neutral position. The above process is the process from the left gear to the neutral position.

[0053] (3) After the shift rocker arm of the operating assembly 4 stays in the neutral position for a set time, the actuating cylinder 1 is controlled by the solenoid valve, and the left air chamber begins to take in air. The actuating cylinder 1 pushes the shift rocker arm of the operating assembly 4, and the shift dial head rotates to the right end, similar to the process (1) from neutral to the left gear position. Finally, the shift rocker arm and the shift dial head of the operating assembly 4 reach the right gear position.

[0054] After the shift rocker arm of the operating assembly 4 stays at the right position for a set time, the gas in the left air chamber of the actuating cylinder 1 is discharged through the solenoid valve. At this time, the input force gradually disappears, and the gas pressure inside the right air chamber of the second loading cylinder 8 on the right side begins to push the slider of the slide rail slider assembly 7 to the left. The slider pushes the shift knob until the cylinder rod of the second loading cylinder 8 on the right side reaches the limit position, that is, returns to the neutral position. At this time, the shift rocker arm and the shift knob of the operating assembly 4 are both back to the neutral position. The above process is the process from the right gear to the neutral position.

[0055] The above process is a complete shifting process. By installing a position switch on the cylinder to output a position signal, it can also be determined whether the shift rocker arm and shift dial of the operating assembly 4 have reached the set position, and an alarm can be issued if they have not reached the set position.

[0056] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
