[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0017] like Figure 1-3As shown, a jacking assembly of an EPS steering test bench is provided on a base 3, on which a mounting platform 4 is fixedly provided. The jacking assembly is provided with two jacking assemblies and is respectively located on both sides of the above-mentioned mounting platform 4, including a mounting block 28 fixedly provided on the base 3 and two oppositely arranged fixed plates 29. The two fixed plates 29 are respectively fixedly provided on the above-mentioned mounting block 28 and the mounting platform 4. A jacking station is formed above the mounting platform 4 and between the two fixed plates 29. A support plate 30 is movably provided in the jacking station. The two sides of the support plate 30 are movably provided on the two fixed plates 29 through second guide rails 36. A lifter 31 for lifting the support plate 30 is movably provided below the support plate 30. The lifter 31 is fixed on a movable plate 39. The lower end of the movable plate 39 is fixed to the base 3 through a plurality of weighing sensors 32. There are four weighing sensors 32 and they are evenly distributed between the movable plate 39 and the base 3. A motor 33 for driving the lifter 31 to move the support plate 30 up and down is fixed on the movable plate 39. Several stoppers 38 are fixed to the upper end of the fixing plate 29. These stoppers 38 extend horizontally, with one end positioned above the support plate 30. A cement-casting plate 37 is fixed to the support plate 30, designed to rest against the underside of the subframe tires. After the subframe is installed, the wheels press against the cement-casting plate. A lift 31 drives the support plate 30 vertically, adjusting the position between the wheels and the cement-casting plate for different road conditions. Multiple load cells 32 accurately measure the force applied to the wheels during steering, providing more accurate detection. The contact between the cement-casting plate 37 and the tires allows for more accurate simulation of actual tire usage. Two lifting assemblies 6 are symmetrically positioned on either side of the mounting platform 4, enabling individual or simultaneous lifting and lowering, enabling testing of the equipment under various road conditions and achieving more accurate results.

[0018] Two elevators 31 are provided, positioned opposite each other on the movable plate 39. A commutator 34 is positioned between the two elevators 31, through which the motor 33 drives the elevators 31. A connecting plate 35 is fixed to the upper end of each elevator 31, designed to rest against the lower end of the support plate 30. The two elevators 31 are synchronously driven with a single click, ensuring consistent movement of the elevators 31 and greater stability during support plate 30 movement.
