DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described below with reference to the drawings, and the purpose is to help the technical personnel in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the concept and technical scheme of the present application, and to facilitate its implementation.
[0025] It should be noted that in the following embodiments, the "first" and "second" do not represent the absolute division of structure and / or function, nor represent the execution order, but only for the convenience of description.
[0026] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the utility model provides a kind of swing arm tool for single side load fatigue test of automobile electric power steering system assembly, including swing arm upright, rotating plate with swing arm upright for rotating connection and two first connecting components set on rotating plate, two first connecting components are set to be respectively used to connect automobile electric power steering system assembly and load equipment.
[0027] Specifically, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, first connecting component includes taper sleeve and locking nut, taper sleeve is installed on rotating plate by locking nut. Rotating plate is provided with first installation hole for inserting taper sleeve, first installation hole is provided with two, two first installation holes are sequentially arranged along the length direction of rotating plate, and locking nut is threadedly connected with one end of taper sleeve. The taper sleeves of the two first connecting components are respectively used to connect the outer pull rod of the automobile electric power steering system assembly and the outer pull rod of the load equipment, the taper sleeve is inserted into the round hole provided at the end of the outer pull rod, and the automobile electric power steering system assembly and the load equipment are respectively located on the opposite sides of the rotating plate.
[0028] When automobile electric power steering system assembly is subjected to fatigue test, the outer pull rod of automobile electric power steering system assembly will push rotating plate to swing left and right, and the load equipment will exert opposite force through the outer pull rod at the other end to realize stable, normal and effective fatigue test of automobile electric power steering system assembly. The swing arm tool cleverly solves the problem of insufficient stroke of load equipment through the relationship between force and displacement to ensure that single side load fatigue test of similar automobile electric power steering system assembly can be carried out normally, stably and effectively.
[0029] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 , the rotating plate is installed on the swing arm vertical plate through a second connecting assembly, the second connecting assembly comprises a steering shaft, a positioning sleeve, a rolling bearing and a bearing limiting sleeve arranged on the steering shaft, the bearing limiting sleeve is connected with the swing arm vertical plate, and the positioning sleeve is connected with the rotating plate. The rotating plate is provided with a second mounting hole through which the steering shaft penetrates, the axes of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are parallel, and the two first connecting assemblies are located above the second connecting assembly.
[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 , the swing arm vertical plate is provided with a shaft sleeve, and the steering shaft penetrates the shaft sleeve. When the product assembly is subjected to fatigue test, the rotating plate is only allowed to swing around the axis of the steering shaft and is fixed in other directions, and the cooperation between the steering shaft and the shaft sleeve in the swing arm vertical plate can avoid the radial movement.
[0031] In addition, the bearing limiting sleeve is connected with the swing arm vertical plate, and the outer ring shoulder of the rolling bearing is matched with the bearing hole of the bearing limiting sleeve and the swing arm vertical plate, so that the steering shaft penetrating the inner ring of the rolling bearing can be well fixed while ensuring the axial rotation.
