This new vehicle centering mechanism for a chassis dynamometer includes a first frame and a second frame. The upper surfaces of the first frame and the second frame are both provided with sliding grooves. Sliders are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves. A cover plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliders. A pulling block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate. A jack hole is opened inside the cover plate. Positioning boxes are fixedly connected to the rear surfaces of the first frame and the second frame. A top spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the positioning boxes. In this utility model, by setting sliding grooves, sliders, and cover plates on the first frame and the second frame, when the centering mechanism is not in use, the pulling block is used to control the cover plate to drive the slider to slide in the sliding groove and cover the roller on the centering mechanism, avoiding pedestrians from stepping on it and also avoiding pedestrians' legs from getting stuck inside the centering mechanism and being injured, reducing potential safety hazards.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] Embodiment 1: A vehicle centering device for a chassis dynamometer, including a chassis dynamometer 1 and a fixed base plate 5. The fixed base plate 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the chassis dynamometer 1. A square groove 2 is opened at the middle position of the upper surface of the chassis dynamometer 1. A driving wheel 4 is movably connected to the inner wall of the square groove 2 through a rotating shaft 3. A first sliding groove 501 is opened at the lower part of one side surface of the chassis dynamometer 1, and a centering mechanism is arranged on the side surface of the chassis dynamometer 1;

[0027] The centering mechanism includes an adjusting unit and a connecting unit. The adjusting unit includes a cylinder 504, a telescopic member 505, a trapezoidal connecting column 506 and a guiding plate 507. The cylinder 504 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed base plate 5. The telescopic member 505 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 504. The trapezoidal connecting column 506 is fixedly installed on the side surface of one end of the telescopic member 505. The guiding plate 507 is fixedly installed on the inclined side surface of the trapezoidal connecting column 506. The cylinders 504 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the upper surface of the fixed base plate 5. The cylinders 504 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the upper surface of the fixed base plate 5. The first sliders 503 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the outer surface of the first guiding column 502.

[0028] The connecting unit includes a lower sliding module and an upper sliding module. The lower sliding module includes a first guiding column 502 and a first slider 503. The first guiding column 502 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first sliding groove 501. The first slider 503 is installed on the outer surface of the first guiding column 502. The side surface of the first slider 503 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the trapezoidal connecting column 506. The upper sliding module includes a cross column 508, a second sliding groove 509, a second guiding column 510 and a second slider 511. The cross column 508 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the side surface of the chassis dynamometer 1. The second sliding groove 509 is opened on the upper surface of the cross column 508. The second guiding column 510 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second sliding groove 509. The second slider 511 is installed on the outer surface of the second guiding column 510.

[0029] The vehicle travels through the guiding plate 507 so that the wheel for dynamometer testing is located on the upper surface of the driving wheel 4 for dynamometer testing. The non-driving wheels of the vehicle are located on the upper surface of the guiding plate 507. When dynamometer testing is performed, if the vehicle body deflects, the cylinder 504 works to push the telescopic member 505 to drive the trapezoidal connecting column 506 to move, thereby pushing the guiding plate 507 to move and adjust the position of the vehicle body. When the guiding plate 507 moves, it drives the first slider 503 and the second slider 511 to move to the middle position of the chassis dynamometer 1.

[0031] The mounting columns 515 are symmetrically distributed on both side surfaces of the two ends of the fixed base plate 5. The through holes 516 sequentially penetrate through the side surfaces of the mounting columns 515 at equal intervals. The outer surface of the connecting member 517 contacts the inner wall of the through hole 516. By providing the tire fixing device, the non-driving wheels can be fixed during the chassis dynamometer testing of the vehicle, avoiding the displacement of the non-driving wheels during the dynamometer testing, so that the dynamometer testing can proceed smoothly.

[0032] When the non-driving wheels of the vehicle are located on the upper surface of the guiding plate 507, they push the fixing block 514 to drive the mounting column 515 to move to the side of the wheel. By inserting the connecting member 517 into the through hole 516, the connecting member 517 is connected to the vehicle wheel to keep it fixed during the dynamometer testing.
