Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of testing equipment, in particular to an empty spring double-station durability testing bench. Background Art

[0002] Air spring durability test benches primarily simulate the dynamic operating environment of air springs in actual use, subjecting them to repeated pressure loading and unloading to evaluate their fatigue performance and durability. Existing durability test benches typically test air springs, steering knuckles, and other accompanying test pieces together, simulating actual durability conditions with a 1 / 4 empty spring bench configuration. Existing benches are typically single-station or dual-station, occupying a relatively large footprint. This limits the number of products that can be tested per unit area, slowing project progress.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0027] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4The embodiment of the present application discloses a double-station durability test bench for an empty spring, comprising a base plate 1, an empty spring fixing frame 2, a vertical frame 3, a lifter 4, a loading portion 5, and a decoupling portion 6. The empty spring fixing frame 2 is mounted on the base plate 1. The empty spring fixing frame 2 is provided with a vertically arranged support plate 21. The support plate 21 is provided with two empty spring clamps 22 spaced apart vertically. The two empty spring clamps 22 are mirror images of each other, and the dimensions of each position for cooperating with the empty spring are as consistent as possible with those of an actual vehicle. The empty spring clamps 22 are used to fix the empty springs. The vertical frame 3 is mounted on the base plate 1, and the base of the lifter 4 is mounted on the vertical frame 3. The lifting output end of the lifter 4 is connected to the upper end of the loading portion 5, and the lower end of the loading portion 5 is connected to the decoupling portion 6. The decoupling portion 6 is used to connect to the steering knuckles of the two empty springs. The lifter 4 is a cylinder.

[0029] As can be seen from the above, by installing an empty spring fixing frame 2 on the base plate 1, a back plate 21 is provided on the empty spring fixing frame 2, and two empty spring clamps 22 distributed along the vertical interval are provided on the back plate 21, so that the two empty springs are stably set on the back plate 21, which is beneficial to the vertical space and increases the number of tested empty springs per unit area. At the same time, the lifter 4 cooperates with the loading part 5 and the decoupling part 6 to transfer the vertical loading force to the steering knuckles of the two empty springs, and performs repeated pressure loading and unloading to achieve efficient durability testing, thereby improving the durability testing efficiency of the empty springs and increasing production capacity.

[0030] In this embodiment, the decoupling part 6 includes a first ball head fixture 61, a second ball head fixture 62 and a screw rod 63. The first ball head fixture 61 is screwed to the upper end of the screw rod 63, and the second ball head fixture 62 is screwed to the lower end of the screw rod 63. The first ball head fixture 61 and the second ball head fixture 62 are both used to connect the steering knuckle of the empty spring, so that the interaction force between the two empty springs during loading can be released through the ball head. The distance between the two ball heads can be adjusted to avoid the inability to release an angle due to insufficient distance, reduce the wear of the test piece, that is, balance the angular deflection caused by the two empty springs when tested together, and balance the deflection angle of the empty spring during testing by adjusting the length of the screw rod 63, so as to achieve the purpose of loading together.

[0031] In this embodiment, a first nut 64 and a second nut 65 are spirally sleeved on the screw rod 63. The first nut 64 is used to abut against the first ball head fixture 61, and the second nut 65 is used to abut against the second ball head fixture 62, thereby improving the connection reliability of the screw rod 63 between the first ball head fixture 61 and the second ball head fixture 62.

[0032] In this embodiment, the loading part 5 includes an upper ball head fixture 51, a lower ball head fixture 52 and a screw 53. The upper end of the screw 53 is screwed to the upper ball head fixture 51, and the upper ball head fixture 51 is connected to the lifting output end of the lifter 4. The lower end of the screw 53 is screwed to the lower ball head fixture 52, and the lower ball head fixture 52 is connected to the first ball head fixture 61. In this way, the vertical loading force of the lifter 4 can be reliably transmitted to the decoupling part 6, and the spacing between the upper and lower ball heads can be conveniently adjusted, which can effectively alleviate the rotation of the loading part 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, an upper nut 54 and a lower nut 55 are spirally sleeved on the screw rod 53. The upper nut 54 is used to abut against the upper ball head fixture 51, and the lower nut 55 is used to abut against the lower ball head fixture 52, thereby improving the connection reliability of the screw rod 53 between the upper ball head fixture 51 and the lower ball head fixture 52.

[0034] In this embodiment, the distance between the upper ball head fixture 51 and the lower ball head fixture 52 is greater than 650 mm, thereby specifically limiting the distance between the upper ball head fixture 51 and the lower ball head fixture 52 to ensure test reliability.

[0035] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that in the description of the present application, terms such as "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings.
