Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts detection, in particular to a bench test device for automobile leaf springs. Background Art

[0002] Automobile leaf springs, also known as leaf springs, are made up of multiple steel plates of unequal length and curvature. After installation, the two ends naturally bend upward. When the impact force of the road on the wheels is transmitted, the steel plates deform, which plays a role in buffering and vibration reduction.

[0003] When performing a pressure test on a leaf spring, it is necessary to repeatedly test the leaf spring's performance in pressing down or rebounding. Since leaf springs have different lengths and curvatures, common test devices are not universal. For example, the patent (CN205562282U) discloses a support device for bench testing of leaf springs for automobiles. This technical solution uses a linear guide rail and a slider to replace the pulley and roller method used in the existing standard, and uses a fixed axle pin that passes through the axial hole on the support seat instead of the existing standard method of placing the axle pin in an open groove. In the preparatory stage, the distance between the two support seats needs to be adjusted according to the length and curvature of the leaf spring before the deformation test can be started. The operation is relatively cumbersome. For this reason, a bench test device for leaf springs for automobiles is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0008] In a preferred technical solution, cylinders are respectively provided on the outer edges of the mounting frames on both sides, and the pneumatic rods provided at the output ends of the cylinders are connected to their respective corresponding fixing plates.

A suspension is provided above the base, and a traction machine is installed on the suspension. A pressure plate provided at the output end at the bottom of the traction machine acts on the leaf spring below.

[0010] In a preferred technical solution, a plurality of guide grooves are provided on the plate surface of the fixed plate. The guide grooves are symmetrically provided with the plate surface of the fixed plate as the center, and adjacent guide grooves are provided in sequence and at intervals.

[0011] In a preferred technical solution, the guide groove in the center is opened straightly along the central axis of the fixed plate, and the guide grooves on both sides are opened obliquely along the central axis of the fixed plate.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0020] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-2 A bench test device for a leaf spring for automobiles includes a base, a mounting frame 1 is provided on the left and right sides of the base, and a fixing plate 4 is provided inside the mounting frame 1. Figure 1 As shown, guide rails 2 are respectively provided on the front and rear edges of the mounting frame 1 , and sliding seats 3 are slidably mounted on the guide rails 2 . The tops of the two sliding seats 3 are connected to the bottom of the same fixed plate 4 to form an integrated structure.

[0021] The outer edges of the mounting frames 1 on both sides are provided with cylinders 5, and the pneumatic rods provided at the output ends of the cylinders 5 are connected to the corresponding fixing plates 4. Through the pushing control of the cylinders 5, the fixing plates 4 can slide back and forth along the width direction of the mounting frame 1.

[0022] The mounting frame 1 is provided with parallel guide rods 8 below the fixing plate 4 , and positioning brackets 7 are provided at both ends of the guide rods 8 . The guide rods 8 are fixed in the mounting frame 1 through the positioning brackets 7 at both ends.

[0023] Several identical sliding sleeves 9 are provided on the guide rod 8. In this embodiment, the number of guide rods 8 is designed to be two groups, and can also be designed to be other numbers. One sliding sleeve 9 needs to be simultaneously sleeved on multiple guide rods 8 to ensure that the sliding sleeve 9 can only slide along the length direction of the guide rod 8.

[0024] A plurality of guide grooves 6 are provided on the surface of the fixed plate 4. The position and layout of the guide grooves 6 need to be specifically described. Figure 1 It can be seen that the guide grooves 6 are symmetrically opened with the plate surface of the fixed plate 4 as the center, and adjacent guide grooves 6 are opened in sequence at intervals. The guide groove 6 in the center is opened straight along the central axis of the fixed plate 4, and the guide grooves 6 on both sides are opened obliquely along the central axis of the fixed plate 4.

[0025] The sliding sleeves 9 are each provided with a limiting pillar 10 , and the tops of the limiting pillars 10 are respectively provided with fixing pillars 11 , which are respectively built into corresponding guide grooves 6 in the corresponding upper fixing plates 4 and slide along them.

[0026] The cylinders 5 on both sides are synchronized and pneumatically controlled, maintaining the same operating state. As the fixed plate 4 slides back and forth under the control of the cylinders 5, the fixing posts 11 on the limiting struts 10 simultaneously slide along their respective guide grooves 6, causing each limiting strut 10 to retract or expand by equal distances, aligning the adjacent ends of the limiting struts 10 on both sides. The leaf spring to be pressure-tested rests against the limiting struts 10 on either side, securing the leaf spring in place.

[0027] A suspension 12 is provided above the base, and a traction machine 13 is installed on the suspension 12. A pressure plate 14 provided at the output end at the bottom of the traction machine 13 acts on the leaf spring below.

[0028] During the test, since leaf springs vary in length, adjusting the spacing between adjacent limiting struts 10 ensures that leaf springs of varying sizes can rest against the four corner limiting struts 10, achieving fixation. Furthermore, leaf springs also vary in curvature. When testing leaf spring compression deformation and rebound, adjusting the spacing between limiting struts 10 can also alter the curvature of the leaf spring's central protrusion. Equidistantly adjustable limiting struts 10 accommodate compression testing of leaf springs of various lengths and curvatures, significantly expanding the testing range of leaf springs and facilitating subsequent compression deformation testing using the pressure plate 14.

[0029] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
