[0060] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.
[0061] It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings of this specification are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this utility model, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and "middle" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of implementation of this utility model.
[0062] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a test device for testing the trunk support rod of an automobile, including a first connecting device 2 and a second connecting device 3 for connecting the trunk support rod mechanism 1 of the automobile.
[0063] The first connecting device 2 includes a first fixed base 4, a first position adjustment mechanism is connected to the first fixed base 4, and a first connecting seat 5 is connected to the first position adjustment mechanism;
[0064] The second connecting device 3 includes a second fixed base 6, a second position adjustment mechanism is connected to the second fixed base 6, and a second connecting seat 7 is connected to the second position adjustment mechanism;
[0065] The car trunk support mechanism 1 includes a support rod 8, a curved arm connecting frame 9, and a hinge frame 10. The first end of the support rod 8 is hinged to the first connecting seat 5 via a ball joint, and the tail end of the support rod 8 is hinged to the curved arm connecting frame 9 via a ball joint. The curved arm connecting frame 9 is hinged to the hinge frame 10, and the hinge frame 10 is bolted to the second connecting seat 7. The curved arm connecting frame 9 is used to bear the simulated load and transmit it to the support rod 8. The first connecting seat 5 abuts against the force sensor 11, and the force sensor 11 is used to detect the load force transmitted by the first connecting seat 5.
[0066] This invention provides a testing device for testing automotive trunk support rods. Through first and second position adjustment mechanisms, it accurately simulates the installation error of the automotive trunk support rod 8. By installing a force sensor 11 at the first connecting seat 5, the force borne by the support rod 8 during the test can be directly measured. This data is crucial for evaluating the strength and durability of the support rod 8, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of its performance. Therefore, this invention provides an efficient and reliable method for designing and testing automotive trunk support rods 8 by simulating the actual installation and use environment and load conditions of the support rod 8. This not only helps improve product quality but also enhances the user experience and safety.
[0067] In a preferred embodiment, the contact surface between the first connecting seat 5 and the force sensor 11 is perpendicular to the strut 8, and the center of the contact surface between the first connecting seat 5 and the force sensor 11 is located on the extension line of the axis of the strut 8. In this way, the simulated load applied to the curved arm connecting frame 9 is transmitted to the force sensor 11 through the strut 8, and the force sensor 11 can accurately measure the load borne by the strut 8.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tail end of the strut 8 is hinged to the first connection position 12 on the curved arm connecting frame 9 via a ball joint. The second connection position 13 of the curved arm connecting frame 9 is hinged to the hinge frame 10. The second connection position 13 corresponds to the hinge position connecting the curved arm connecting frame 9 in the trunk of a car. The third connection position 14 of the curved arm connecting frame 9 is used to bear the simulated load. The first connection position 12, the second connection position 13, and the third connection position 14 form the three vertices of a triangle. Thus, when a simulated load of a car trunk lid is applied to the third connection position 14 of the curved arm connecting frame 9, the curved arm connecting frame 9 rotates around the second connection position 13, causing the strut 8 to apply a load to the force sensor.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Both the first and second position adjustment mechanisms include the following components: a slidingly connected X-axis guide rail 15-1 / 15-2 and an X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2; and a slidingly connected Y-axis guide rail 17-1 / 17-2 and a Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2. The Y-axis guide rail 17-1 / 17-2 is disposed on top of the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2. The Y-axis guide rail 17-1 / 17-2 is connected to the X-axis guide rail 15-1 / 15-2. 2. Orthogonal arrangement; an X-axis adjusting screw 19-1 / 19-2 is threadedly connected to the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2, which can adjust the X-axis position of the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2; a Y-axis adjusting screw 20-1 / 20-2 is threadedly connected to the Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2, which can adjust the Y-axis position of the Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2. The hinge positions at both ends of the support rod 8 can be adjusted by adjusting the positions of the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2 and the Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2 through the first and second position adjustment mechanisms to simulate the installation error of the support rod 8. The basic structure and principle of the first and second position adjustment mechanisms are the same; a manual slide table from the prior art can be purchased as the first and second position adjustment mechanisms.
[0070] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2 is tightened by the X-axis tightening screw 21-1 / 21-2. The X-axis tightening screw 21-1 / 21-2 and the X-axis adjusting screw 19-1 / 19-2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2 along the X direction. The Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2 is tightened by the Y-axis tightening screw 22-1 / 22-2. The Y-axis tightening screw 22-1 / 22-2 and the Y-axis adjusting screw 20-1 / 20-2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2 along the Y direction. After adjusting the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2 and the Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2 into position using the X-axis adjusting screw 19-1 / 19-2 and the Y-axis adjusting screw 20-1 / 20-2, tighten the X-axis tightening screw 21-1 / 21-2 and the Y-axis tightening screw 22-1 / 22-2 to prevent the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2 and the Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2 from moving. A limiting block 23 is connected to the end of the X-axis guide rail 15-1 / 15-2. The limiting block 23 has a slot 24. The X-axis adjusting screw 19-1 / 19-2 has two annular steps 25. The X-axis adjusting screw 19-1 / 19-2 passes through the slot 24 of the limiting block 23, and the two annular steps 25 are located on both sides of the limiting block 23. Two annular steps 25 on the X-axis adjusting screw 19-1 / 19-2 are engaged on both sides of the slot 24 of the limiting block 23. Thus, when the X-axis adjusting screw 19-1 / 19-2 rotates, it cannot move axially, allowing the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2 to move. Similarly, a limiting block 23 is connected to the end of the Y-axis guide rail 17-1 / 17-2. The limiting block 23 has a slot 24, and the Y-axis adjusting screw 20-1 / 20-2 has two annular steps 25. The Y-axis adjusting screw 20-1 / 20-2 passes through the slot 24 of the limiting block 23, with the two annular steps 25 located on both sides of the limiting block 23. To facilitate adjustment of the displacement of the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2 and the Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2, the X-axis guide rail 15-1 / 15-2 is marked with scale lines to indicate the movement displacement of the X-axis slider 16-1 / 16-2, and the Y-axis guide rail 17-1 / 17-2 is marked with scale lines to indicate the movement displacement of the Y-axis slider 18-1 / 18-2.
[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first connecting seat 5 is slidably connected to the top of the Y-axis slider 18-1 via an auxiliary guide rail 26 extending along the X-direction. A sensor connecting seat 27 is also provided on the top of the Y-axis slider 18-1, and the force sensor 11 is connected to the sensor connecting seat 27. The sensor connecting seat 27 is fixed by an auxiliary support seat 28, which is fixed to the first fixed seat. The auxiliary support seat 28 enhances the sensor connecting seat 27's ability to withstand the load of the support rod 8, preventing deformation of the sensor connecting seat 27 due to stress and resulting in inaccurate measurement results.
[0072] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, the technical solution of this utility model provides an efficient and reliable method for the design and testing of car trunk support rods by simulating the actual installation and use environment of the support rod and simulating the load conditions of the support rod. This not only helps to improve product quality, but also enhances the user experience and safety of consumers.
[0073] In summary, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.
[0074] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
