[0002] Currently, most automotive air spring high- and low-temperature performance testing equipment utilizes a servo electric cylinder mounted directly on an environmental chamber, with the fixture holding the test piece placed entirely within the chamber. This direct mounting of the servo electric cylinder requires the entire chamber frame to withstand the thrust generated by the electric cylinder. Since this thrust often reaches tens of tons, the frame is often susceptible to deformation and even breakage. Furthermore, the placement of the fixture holding the test piece within the chamber significantly increases the chamber's load and consumes additional power. Furthermore, the fixed positions of the electric cylinder and fixture make it difficult to meet testing requirements for test pieces with unusual shapes. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] In order to clearly show the internal structure of the high and low temperature environment test cabinet, Figure 2 and Figure 5 The door of the high and low temperature environment test cabinet is hidden in it.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] The utility model is a gantry type vehicle air spring high and low temperature performance test equipment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system comprises a gantry module 1, a servo electric cylinder module 2, a high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3, and a chassis module 4. The gantry module 1 is mounted on the chassis module 4. The high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3, which has openings on both the top and bottom surfaces, is positioned between the top crossbeam of the gantry module 1 and the chassis module 4. The servo electric cylinder module 2 is mounted on the top crossbeam of the gantry module 1 above the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3. The gantry module 1 is used to move the servo electric cylinder module 2. The chassis module 4 is exposed through the openings on the bottom surface of the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3, and the automotive air spring to be tested is placed on it.

[0031] like Figure 3 The gantry module 1 shown includes a frame 1-1, a transverse motor 1-2, a longitudinal motor 1-3, a transverse transmission structure, and a longitudinal transmission structure. The transverse motor 1-2, via the transverse transmission structure, propels the servo electric cylinder module 2 laterally along the top crossbeam of the frame 1-1. The longitudinal motor 1-3, via the longitudinal transmission structure, propels the frame 1-1 on the chassis module 4 in a direction perpendicular to the top crossbeam. In actual use, the servo electric cylinder module 2 can be moved to a desired position by adjusting the transverse motor 1-2 and longitudinal motor 1-3, enabling testing of various automotive air spring types.

[0032] During use, the vehicle spring to be tested is fixed on the chassis module 4 exposed in the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3. After the servo electric cylinder module 2 is moved to the top of the vehicle spring to be tested through the gantry module 1, the servo electric cylinder module 2 is used to output pressure to squeeze the vehicle spring to be tested, and then the temperature in the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3 is changed to complete the vehicle spring performance test under various temperatures.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 4 As shown, the servo electric cylinder module 2 comprises a servo electric cylinder 2-1 and a cylinder rod 2-2. Cylinder rod 2-2 is connected to the output terminal of servo electric cylinder 2-1. During operation, servo electric cylinder 2-1 pushes cylinder rod 2-2 through an opening in the top surface of the high-low temperature environment test cabinet 3 and into the high-low temperature environment test cabinet 3, thereby compressing the automotive spring to be tested. A pressure sensor is mounted at the end of cylinder rod 2-2 for real-time measurement of downward force. A linear scale is installed within the cylinder body of servo electric cylinder 2-1 to monitor the extension of cylinder rod 2-2 in real time.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the chassis module 4 includes a chassis 4-1 and a fixed base 4-2 supported on the base. The fixed base 4-2 extends into the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3 and is used to fix the vehicle spring to be tested.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the fixed base 4-2 is provided with a T-slot in both horizontal and vertical directions, which is used to fix the vehicle spring to be tested at any position on its top plane.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Based on Example 2, the high and low temperature environment test cabinet can simulate ambient temperatures ranging from -60° to +100°. At the same time, since only the automotive spring to be tested, the cylinder rod 2-2, and the fixed base 4-2 are inside the test cabinet, the impact of temperature is minimal, and the power consumption of the utility model is also greatly reduced.

[0039] The top opening of the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3 is installed with a silicone accordion cover that can pass through the cylinder rod 2-2, and a silicone accordion cover is also installed between the bottom opening of the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3 and the fixed base 4-2; the silicone accordion cover is used to isolate the influence of the external temperature of the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3 and will not hinder the movement of the servo electric cylinder module 2.

[0040] The following is a brief description of the steps in the operation of the present invention:

[0041] S1, use T-bolts and pressure plates to install the automotive spring to be tested on the fixed base 4-2 and make it meet the test standard requirements;

[0042] S2, using the transverse motor 1-2 and the longitudinal motor 1-3 to adjust the position of the servo electric cylinder module 2 so that the cylinder rod 2-2 on it is directly above the top of the vehicle spring to be tested; then, the cylinder rod 2-2 is extended to press the top of the vehicle spring to be tested, simulating the weight of the vehicle body;

[0043] S3, close and lock the door of the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3, and start the temperature control system of the high and low temperature environment test cabinet 3 so that the internal temperature reaches the test standard requirement;

[0044] S4, by controlling the pressure released by the servo electric cylinder and the extension of the cylinder rod, the performance of the automotive spring to be tested in high or low temperature environments is tested. The performance test includes fatigue life test and performance test under different pressures.
