Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a beach vehicle steering test device, more specifically, to an electric power steering device test device. Background Art

[0002] Most passenger cars use a steering wheel, where the steering wheel is connected to an electric steering column, which is then connected to a rack and pinion with an intermediate drive shaft as a fulcrum. However, all-terrain ATVs still use handlebar-style steering, where the handlebars are connected to the electric steering column, which is directly connected to the tie rod with a triangular plate as a fulcrum. This has the advantage of enabling quick steering in complex road conditions, but the disadvantage is that it requires a large input torque. To better verify the performance of the electric steering column, steering tests are required. However, existing methods rely on manual labor and are quite labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0015] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the electric power steering test device includes a test platform S, on which a left-end load electric telescopic cylinder 1, a right-end load electric telescopic cylinder 2 and a motor mounting bracket K are provided. The motor mounting bracket K is located between the left-end load electric telescopic cylinder 1 and the right-end load electric telescopic cylinder 2.

[0017] A servo drive motor 9 is provided at the top of the motor mounting bracket K, and a longitudinally arranged transmission shaft 8 is provided at the output end of the servo drive motor 9. A horizontally arranged mounting platform 10 is provided at the lower part of the motor mounting bracket K, and a longitudinally arranged output end connector 6 is provided at the lower part of the mounting platform 10. A horizontally arranged triangular support turntable 5 is provided at the bottom end of the output end connector 6. The triangular support turntable 5 is connected to the left-end load electric telescopic cylinder 1 through the left-end double ball head pull rod 3, and the triangular support turntable 5 is connected to the right-end load electric telescopic cylinder 2 through the right-end double ball head pull rod 4.

[0018] The triangular support turntable 5 and the left end load electric telescopic cylinder 1 are both rotatably connected to the left end double ball head pull rod 3, and the triangular support turntable 5 and the right end load electric telescopic cylinder 2 are both rotatably connected to the right end double ball head pull rod 4.

[0019] The working mode of the electric power steering test device is described below.

[0020] The electric steering column 7 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 10 , and the input end is connected to the servo drive motor 9 via a transmission shaft 8 and is locked with bolts.

[0021] Then, the output end connector 6 is directly connected to the triangular support turntable 5, and is connected to the left end load electric telescopic cylinder 1 through the left end double ball head pull rod 3, and is connected to the right end load electric telescopic cylinder 2 through the right end double ball head pull rod 4.

[0022] It should be noted that the left-end double-ball tie rod 3 and the right-end double-ball tie rod 4 are both double-ball tie rods.

[0023] Before conducting the test, set the load electric cylinder to the rated output load, set the servo drive motor 9 to the rotation speed and rotation angle, and check that all connection parts are locked before conducting the durability test.

[0024] This electric power steering test device simulates an ATV scenario. For example, the center distance of the rocker arm is designed to be 65cm, the push-pull force of the electric load cylinder is 2000N, and the load is 130NM. Actual loading requires observing the input torque. The theoretical load is deducted from the input torque, and the final load can be close to 100NM.
