Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of test devices, and more particularly, to a bench test equipment. Background Art

[0002] The steering knuckle, also known as the "goat horn", is one of the important parts in the automotive steering axle. It enables the vehicle to drive stably and transmits the driving direction sensitively. The steering knuckle is the hinge for wheel steering and is generally fork-shaped. There are two coaxial holes for installing the kingpin on the upper and lower forks, and the steering knuckle journal is used to install the wheel. The two ears of the upper pin hole on the steering knuckle are connected to the knuckle parts at both ends of the front axle through the kingpin, allowing the front wheels to deflect around the kingpin by a certain angle to steer the vehicle. To reduce wear, a bronze bushing is pressed into the pin hole of the steering knuckle, and the lubrication of the bushing is achieved by injecting grease through a grease nipple installed on the steering knuckle. To make the steering flexible, a bearing is installed between the lower ear of the steering knuckle and the knuckle part of the front axle. An adjusting shim is also installed between the upper ear of the steering knuckle and the knuckle part to adjust the clearance therebetween.

[0003] The function of the steering knuckle is to transmit and bear the load at the front of the vehicle, support and drive the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin to steer the vehicle. Under the driving state of the vehicle, it bears variable impact loads, so it is required to have high strength and toughness. Therefore, strict tests need to be carried out on the automotive steering knuckle before it is officially put into use. Thus, there is an urgent need for a device to solve this technical problem.

[0046] Embodiment

[0047] The knuckle is an important part of the vehicle suspension system. During actual use, the knuckle is mainly subjected to road surface excitation transmitted by the tire and the pushing and pulling forces of the steering system. These excitations affect the service life of the knuckle and may cause the knuckle to break. In order to verify the fatigue performance and strength of the knuckle during the development and manufacturing stages, a bench test needs to be carried out.

[0048] Currently in the industry, the knuckle is usually constrained by completely fixing each connection point of the knuckle or simulating the installation of a real vehicle, and then the excitation is implemented through a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder. However, there is no unified standard for the knuckle constraint and loading methods.

[0049] Because there is no industry or national standard for the knuckle constraint and loading methods in the knuckle bench test. The test methods and test devices of each enterprise are different. Using the method of completely fixing each connection point of the knuckle easily leads to a large difference in the stress state of the knuckle from that of a real vehicle. Using the constraint method of simulating the installation of a real vehicle, due to the different hard point coordinates of different suspensions, it is necessary to redesign the tooling for different models of knuckles, and the versatility of the tooling is poor.

[0050] In view of this, as Figures 1-7As shown, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a bench test device, including: a fixing device 10, including a tie rod structure 11, a swing arm structure 12 and a shock absorber structure 13. The tie rod structure 11 is connected to a first working position of a test piece 70 to be tested. The swing arm structure 12 is connected to a second working position of the test piece 70 to be tested. The shock absorber structure 13 is connected to a third working position of the test piece 70 to be tested or connected to the swing arm structure 12; a loading device 20, which is connected to a fourth working position of the test piece 70 to be tested, and the loading device 20 is configured with at least one interface working position for loading tests of at least one of lateral force, longitudinal force, braking force or vertical force.

[0051] Exemplarily, the bench test device is used to test the fatigue performance and strength of the test piece 70 to be tested. The test piece 70 to be tested includes, but is not limited to, a steering knuckle. The function of the fixing device 10 is to simulate the installation of the steering knuckle in the actual vehicle state. The tie rod structure 11, the swing arm structure 12 and the shock absorber structure 13 are all fixed to the ground. The function of the loading device 20 is to apply and transfer the load to the steering knuckle.

[0052] Specifically, the function of the tie rod structure 11 is to simulate tie rods and other rods in the suspension, such as rods in a multi-link suspension. One end of these rods is connected to the steering knuckle through a ball joint or a bushing, and the other end is connected to the steering gear or the vehicle frame through a ball joint or a bushing. During the test, the tie rod structure 11 can be used to replace these rods in the actual vehicle, and the tie rod structure 11 is connected to the steering knuckle by means of a ball joint connection, and the relative position of the ball joint and the steering knuckle is maintained in the relative position relationship under the specified load state of the actual vehicle, so as to ensure that the force exerted by the tie rod structure 11 on the steering knuckle is consistent with that in the actual vehicle state.

[0053] The function of the swing arm structure 12 is to simulate the swing arm in the suspension, such as the lower swing arm in a MacPherson suspension, the upper swing arm and the lower swing arm in a double-wishbone suspension. In the actual vehicle state, one end of these swing arms is connected to the steering knuckle through a ball joint, and the other end is connected to the vehicle frame through two bushings.

[0054] The function of the shock absorber structure 13 is to simulate the shock absorber in the suspension, including a coil spring shock absorber and an air spring shock absorber. In the suspension, the bottom end of the shock absorber is connected to the swing arm or the steering knuckle, and the connection methods include bushing connection and fixed connection. The top end of the shock absorber is connected to the vehicle body through a top mount connection.

[0055] In the above-mentioned implementation process, the pull rod structure 11, the swing arm structure 12 and the shock absorber structure 13 can all be connected to the test piece 70, and the fourth workstation of the test piece 70 is also connected to the loading device 20, so as to simulate the constraint of the test piece 70 during use by applying lateral force, longitudinal force, braking force or vertical force to the loading device 20, ensure that the force applied to the test piece 70 is consistent with the actual situation, and complete the test of the test piece.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the tie rod structure 11 includes a tie rod shaft 110, a tie rod tube 111, a tie rod ball joint 112 and a tie rod base 113. One end of the tie rod shaft 110 is connected to the tie rod tube 111, and the other end is connected to the test piece 70, for example, through a ball joint. The tie rod ball joint 112 is connected to the side of the tie rod tube 111 away from the tie rod shaft 110, and the tie rod base 113 is connected to the tie rod ball joint 112.

[0057] In the above implementation process, the tie rod shaft 110, the tie rod tube 111, the tie rod ball joint 112 and the tie rod base 113 are connected respectively, which can be used to simulate the steering rod and other rods in the suspension, such as the rods in the multi-link suspension, so as to ensure that the force exerted by the tie rod structure 11 on the test piece 70 is consistent with its actual usage state, which is conducive to the testing of the test piece 70.

[0058] In some embodiments, the connection position between the rod shaft 110 and the rod tube 111 is adjustable. For example, the rod shaft 110 and the rod tube 111 are connected by threads. By screwing different thread lengths, the length of the rod structure 11 can be adjusted, and the rod shaft 110 and the rod tube 111 are prevented from relative rotation during the test by a nut. At the same time, in order to strengthen the radial fit between the rod shaft 110 and the rod tube 111, a section length can be set within the length of the fit between the rod tube 111 and the rod shaft 110 to maintain a very small fit clearance between the rod shaft 110 and the inner hole of the rod tube 111. Through the fit between this section of the shaft and the hole, no obvious radial displacement occurs between the rod shaft 110 and the rod tube 111. By adjusting the connection position between the rod shaft 110 and the rod tube 111, the length of the rod structure 11 is adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of simulating rods of different lengths.

[0059] like Figures 1-2As shown, the swing arm structure 12 includes a swing arm mounting block 120, a first swing arm component 121 and a second swing arm component 122. The swing arm mounting block 120 is connected to the test piece 70. For example, the swing arm mounting block 120 is connected to the test piece 70 through a ball joint. The first swing arm component 121 and the second swing arm component 122 are both connected to the swing arm mounting block 120 so that the first swing arm component 121 and the second swing arm component 122 form a preset angle.

[0060] In the above implementation process, the first swing arm assembly 121 and the second swing arm assembly 122 are both connected to the swing arm mounting block 120, which is used to simulate the swing arm in the suspension, such as the lower swing arm in the McPherson suspension, the upper swing arm and the lower swing arm in the double wishbone suspension, so as to ensure that the force exerted by the swing arm structure 12 on the test piece 70 is consistent with its actual usage state, which is conducive to the testing of the test piece 70.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first swing arm assembly 121 includes a first swing arm shaft 1210, a first swing arm tube 1211, a swing arm ball joint 1212 and a first swing arm base 1213, one end of the first swing arm shaft 1210 is connected to the swing arm mounting block 120, and the other end thereof is connected to the first swing arm tube 1211, the swing arm ball joint 1212 is connected to the side of the first swing arm tube 1211 away from the first swing arm shaft 1210, and the first swing arm base 1213 is connected to the swing arm ball joint 1212.

[0062] In the above-mentioned implementation process, the first swing arm shaft 1210, the first swing arm tube 1211, the swing arm ball joint 1212 and the first swing arm base 1213 are connected to each other to simulate the swing arm in the suspension, which can ensure that the force exerted by the swing arm structure 12 on the test piece 70 is consistent with its actual usage state, which is conducive to the testing of the test piece 70.

[0063] In some embodiments, the connection position between the first swing arm shaft 1210 and the first swing arm tube 1211 is adjustable, and the adjustment principle is the same as the position adjustment principle of the pull rod shaft 110 and the pull rod tube 111. By adjusting the connection position between the first swing arm shaft 1210 and the first swing arm tube 1211, the length of the first swing arm assembly 121 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of simulating swing arms of different lengths.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2, the second swing arm assembly 122 includes a rotating pair 1222, a second swing arm shaft 1220, a second swing arm cylinder 1221, a swing arm universal joint 1223 and a second swing arm base 1224. The rotating pair 1222 connects to the swing arm mounting block 120. One end of the second swing arm shaft 1220 connects to the rotating pair 1222. The angle between the first swing arm shaft 1210 and the second swing arm shaft 1220 can be adjusted through the rotating pair 1222. According to the actual vehicle swing arm size, the lengths of the first swing arm assembly 121 and the second swing arm assembly 122 and the angle between the first swing arm shaft 1210 and the second swing arm shaft 1220 are adjusted, so that the relative positions among the actual vehicle ball joint, the swing arm ball joint 1212 and the universal joint are the same as the relative positions between the ball joint of the actual vehicle swing arm and the two bushings, achieving the purpose of simulating swing arms of different models. The other end of the second swing arm shaft 1220 connects to the second swing arm cylinder 1221. The swing arm universal joint 1223 connects to the side of the second swing arm cylinder 1221 away from the second swing arm shaft 1220. The second swing arm base 1224 connects to the swing arm universal joint 1223. The function of the swing arm universal joint 1223 is the same as that of the ball joint, only restricting the relative displacement between the first swing arm cylinder 1211 and the first swing arm base 1213 and between the second swing arm cylinder 1221 and the second swing arm base 1224, and releasing the freedom degree of their relative rotation.

[0065] In the above implementation process, the rotating pair 1222, the second swing arm shaft 1220, the second swing arm cylinder 1221, the swing arm universal joint 1223 and the second swing arm base 1224 are connected to each other to simulate the swing arm in the suspension, which can ensure that the force exerted by the swing arm structure 12 on the test piece 70 is consistent with its actual use state, facilitating the test of the test piece 70.

[0066] In some embodiments, the connection position between the second swing arm shaft 1220 and the second swing arm cylinder 1221 is adjustable, and its adjustment principle is the same as that of the position adjustment between the pull rod shaft 110 and the pull rod cylinder 111. By adjusting the connection position between the second swing arm shaft 1220 and the second swing arm cylinder 1221, the length adjustment of the second swing arm assembly 122 is achieved, achieving the purpose of simulating swing arms of different lengths.

[0067] Please refer to again Figure 1 , the shock absorber structure 13 includes a shock absorber shaft 130, a shock absorber cylinder 131, a shock absorber ball joint 132 and a shock absorber base 133. One end of the shock absorber shaft 130 connects to the test piece 70, and the other end connects to the shock absorber cylinder 131. The shock absorber ball joint 132 connects to the side of the shock absorber cylinder 131 away from the shock absorber shaft 130. The shock absorber base 133 connects to the shock absorber ball joint 132, and the shock absorber base 133 is fixed to the ground.

[0068] In the above implementation process, the shock absorber shaft 130, the shock absorber cylinder 131, the shock absorber ball joint 132 and the shock absorber base 133 are connected to each other to simulate the shock absorber in the suspension, which can ensure that the force exerted by the shock absorber structure 13 on the test piece 70 is consistent with its actual use state, facilitating the test of the test piece 70.

[0069] In some embodiments, the connection position between the shock absorber shaft 130 and the shock absorber cylinder 131 is adjustable, and its adjustment principle is the same as that of the position adjustment of the pull rod shaft 110 and the pull rod cylinder 111.

[0070] As Figure 4 shown, when performing the lateral force loading test, the loading device 20 is configured with a first interface 21 and a second interface 22. The bench test equipment further includes a connecting frame 30, a lateral oil cylinder 31, a lateral connecting rod 32 and a lateral base 33. The connecting frame 30 includes but is not limited to a gantry. The lateral oil cylinder 31 is respectively ball-jointed to the first interface 21 and the connecting frame 30, and the lateral connecting rod 32 is respectively ball-jointed to the second interface 22 and the lateral base 33. Wherein the loading device 20 is a simulated tire, and the lateral connecting rod 32 and the lateral base 33 are used for auxiliary restraint, and the function of this auxiliary restraint is to prevent the simulated tire from rotating around the axis of the hub bearing during the loading process.

[0071] In the above implementation process, the lateral oil cylinder 31 is connected to the first interface 21, the lateral connecting rod 32 is connected to the second interface 22, and the loading device 20 is connected to the test piece 70. When the lateral force is provided by the lateral oil cylinder 31, the lateral force acts on the hub bearing installed on the test piece 70 through the simulated tire, and then is transmitted to the test piece 70, the pull rod structure 11, the swing arm structure 12 and the shock absorber structure 13, and finally transmitted to the ground, realizing the lateral force loading test of the test piece 70.

[0072] As Figure 5 shown, when performing the longitudinal force loading test, the loading device 20 is further configured with a third interface 23. The bench test equipment further includes a first longitudinal base 40, a longitudinal oil cylinder 41, a longitudinal connecting rod 42 and a second longitudinal base .....

[0073] It seems there is an incomplete sentence in the original for item . I've translated as much as possible based on the provided text. If you can correct or complete the original, I can provide a more accurate translation.In the above-mentioned implementation process, the longitudinal cylinder 41 is connected to the third interface 23, the longitudinal connecting rod 42 is connected to the second interface 22, and the loading device 20 is connected to the test piece 70, so that when the longitudinal force is provided by the longitudinal cylinder 41, the lateral force acts on the hub bearing installed on the test piece 70 through the simulated tire, and then is transmitted to the test piece 70, the pull rod structure 11, the swing arm structure 12 and the shock absorber structure 13, and finally delivered to the ground, thereby realizing the loading test of the longitudinal force of the test piece 70.

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, when the braking force loading test is carried out, the bench test equipment also includes a brake cylinder 50 and a brake base 51, and the brake cylinder 50 is respectively connected to the brake base 51 and the second interface 22 by a ball joint; wherein the brake base 51 is fixed on the iron flat floor of the test room, and the loading device 20 is a simulated tire.

[0075] In the above-mentioned implementation process, the brake cylinder 50 is connected to the second interface 22, and the loading device 20 is connected to the test piece 70, so that when the braking force is provided by the brake cylinder 50, the braking force is not only transmitted to the test piece 70 through the simulated tire and the hub bearing, but also transmitted to the caliper mounting hole of the test piece 70 through the simulated tire, thereby realizing a loading test of the braking force of the test piece 70.

[0076] like Figure 7 As shown, when the vertical force loading test is performed, the loading device 20 is also configured with a fourth interface 24, and the bench test equipment also includes a vertical cylinder 60 and a vertical base 61, and the vertical cylinder 60 is respectively connected to the vertical base 61 and the fourth interface 24 by a ball joint.

[0077] It should be noted that the positions of the first interface 21, the second interface 22, the third interface 23 and the fourth interface 24 follow certain principles. For example, the interface for lateral force and the interface for braking force can ensure that the line of action of the force passes through the tire grounding point. The interface for vertical force can be set at the upper end of the loading device 20 so that the line of action of the vertical force passes through the center of the tire, or the interface for vertical force is set at the lower end of the loading device 20 so that the line of action of the vertical force passes through the tire grounding point. The interface for longitudinal force makes the line of action of the longitudinal force pass through the center of the tire.

[0078] In the above-mentioned implementation process, the vertical cylinder 60 is connected to the fourth interface 24, and the loading device 20 is connected to the test piece 70, so that when the vertical force is provided by the vertical cylinder 60, it can be used to simulate the tire installed on the hub bearing of the test piece 70, and finally the simulated tire rotational torque generated by the vertical force is transmitted to the test piece 70, thereby realizing the vertical force loading test of the test piece 70.
