[0050] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the motor under test 5 includes an output shaft, the dynamometer 3 includes a test shaft 301, and the output shaft is connected to the test shaft 301.

[0051] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the motor under test 5 is connected to the test shaft 301 of the dynamometer 3, so that the motor under test 5 can drive the dynamometer 3 to work after it is started.

A portion of the housing of the dynamometer 3 is disposed within the installation space.

[0059] Furthermore, the first fixing plate 2021 is provided with a through hole, through which the test shaft 301 passes. The test shaft 301 does not contact the inner wall of the through hole, or the test shaft 301 is rotatably connected to the through hole through a bearing, ensuring that the test shaft 301 can rotate smoothly relative to the first fixing plate 2021.

[0061] Control panel 401;

[0062] Clamping seat 402 is disposed on adjusting table 401;

[0064] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the clamping seat 402 includes:

[0065] First fixing part 4021, the first fixing part 4021 is disposed on the adjustment table 401;

[0066] The second fixing part 4022 is connected to the first fixing part 4021;

[0067] The reinforcing connecting part 4023 is connected to both the first fixing part 4021 and the second fixing part 4022.

[0068] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the clamping seat 402 further includes:

[0069] The first clamping part 403 and the second fixing part 4022 are provided with a limiting part 404, and the first clamping part 403 is retractably provided on the limiting part 404;

[0070] The second clamping part is retractably disposed on the limiting part 404. The first clamping part 403 and the second clamping part can move closer or further apart to clamp or release the connector 7.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mounting fixture 4 specifically includes an adjustment platform 401, a clamping seat 402, and a connector 7. Inside the test chamber, the adjustment platform 401 and the base 201 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the output shaft. The clamping seat 402 is fixedly mounted on the adjustment platform 401. The connector 7 is rotatably mounted on the clamping seat 402 and is used to connect with the output shaft of the motor 5 under test.

[0072] Furthermore, the clamping base 402 includes a first fixing part 4021, a second fixing part 4022, and a reinforcing connecting part 4023 arranged in an L-shape. The first fixing part 4021 is fixedly mounted on the adjusting table 401. Both the first fixing part 4021 and the second fixing part 4022 are plate-shaped, and the height of the second fixing part 4022 extends vertically. The reinforcing connecting part 4023 specifically has a triangular plate-shaped structure. The reinforcing connecting part 4023 is connected to both the first fixing part 4021 and the second fixing part 4022, thereby improving the stability of the clamping base 402. Preferably, there are at least two reinforcing connecting parts 4023, and all reinforcing connecting parts 4023 are arranged sequentially at intervals at the junction of the first fixing part 4021 and the second fixing part 4022, further strengthening the structural strength and stability of the clamping base 402 and reducing or avoiding large-scale vibrations of the motor 5 under test during operation.

[0073] Furthermore, the clamping base 402 also includes a first clamping part 403 and a second clamping part. The second fixing part 4022 is provided with a limiting part 404 for the connector 7 to pass through. Preferably, the limiting part 404 is a U-shaped notch with the opening facing upward. In this embodiment, the connector 7 specifically has a rod structure. The connector 7 can pass through the limiting part 404. One end of the connector 7 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 5 under test.

[0074] The limiting part 404 includes a first wall surface and a second wall surface that face each other. The first wall surface has a first groove opening towards the second wall surface, and the second wall surface has a second groove opening towards the first wall surface. The first clamping part 403 and the second clamping part have the same structure, both being rod-shaped or column-shaped. The first clamping part 403 is inserted into the first groove and can extend or retract relative to the first groove. The second clamping part is inserted into the second groove and can extend or retract relative to the second groove, thereby allowing the first clamping part 403 and the second clamping part to move closer or further away from each other, thereby clamping or releasing the connector 7.

[0075] Furthermore, a bearing (not shown in the figure) is fitted on the connector 7. When the first clamping part 403 and the second clamping part approach each other, the first clamping part 403 and the second clamping part can respectively clamp the bearing on the connector 7, so that the clamping seat 402 can clamp and support the connector 7. At the same time, it will not affect the synchronous rotation of the connector 7 with the output shaft of the motor under test 5. One end of the output shaft is connected to the connector 7, and the other end of the output shaft is connected to the test shaft 301 of the dynamometer 3, so that both ends of the output shaft are connected and the normal rotation of the output shaft will not be affected, thereby ensuring the stability of the output shaft rotation process.

[0076] Furthermore, a first locking hole 405 is provided on one side of the limiting part 404. The first locking hole 405 communicates with the first groove and is provided with an internal thread so that a bolt can be passed through and threadedly connected to the bolt. As the bolt is continuously tightened, the end of the bolt can abut against the first clamping part 403, thereby locking the first clamping part 403 in the current position. A second locking hole is provided on the other side of the limiting part 404. Another bolt is threadedly connected to the second locking hole to lock the second clamping part, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping of the connector 7 by the first clamping part 403 and the second clamping part.

[0077] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the motor testing device further includes a support platform 6, which is disposed inside the testing cavity;

[0078] The base 201 and the adjustment platform 401 are spaced apart on the support platform 6.

[0079] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the support platform 6 is provided with a plurality of mounting parts, which are arranged sequentially along the distribution direction of the base 201 and the adjustment platform 401, and the adjustment platform 401 and the mounting parts are detachably connected.

[0080] In this embodiment, the support platform 6 has a flat plate structure and is located at the bottom of the environmental chamber 1. The base 201 and the adjustment platform 401 are spaced apart on the support platform 6.

[0081] Furthermore, the support platform 6 is provided with multiple mounting parts at intervals, which are distributed along the axial direction of the output shaft. The adjustment platform 401 can be detachably connected to any of the mounting parts, thereby making the distance between the adjustment platform 401 and the base 201 adjustable to match the testing requirements of motors of different sizes.

[0082] Specifically, the mounting part can be a hole structure opened on the support platform 6. Each mounting part includes two hole structures spaced apart along the width direction of the support platform 6. The adjustment platform 401 has a hole structure corresponding to the position of the mounting part so that bolts can be passed through to connect the adjustment platform 401 to the designated mounting part.

[0083] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the test chamber is provided with at least a temperature regulating device and a humidity regulating device.

[0084] In this embodiment, the temperature regulation device includes a temperature sensor, a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), a first electric regulating valve, a ceramic electric heater, and a fan coil unit. By adjusting the opening and closing amount of the first electric regulating valve, the amount of cold water in the coil is controlled. Circulating air is blown through the coil to achieve the purpose of lowering the temperature. When the temperature inside the test chamber reaches the target value, the first electric regulating valve stops regulating, while the ceramic electric heater can raise the temperature of the internal environment of the test chamber, thereby achieving the temperature rise or fall inside the test chamber, thus simulating the temperature environment and performing relevant tests on the motor 5 under the corresponding temperature environment.

[0085] The humidity control device includes a humidity meter, a second electric regulating valve, and a spray humidifier. By adjusting the opening and closing degree of the second electric regulating valve, the spray volume of the spray humidifier can be adjusted, thereby regulating the humidity in the test chamber. This allows the test motor 5 to be tested under the corresponding humidity environment.

[0086] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the motor testing device further includes a motor testing system, which is connected to the motor 5 under test.

[0087] In this embodiment, the motor testing system includes a control cabinet 8 and a regulated power supply 9. The regulated power supply 9 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 8, and the motor under test 5 is electrically connected to the regulated power supply 9. This allows the control cabinet 8 to adjust the set parameters such as torque, power, and voltage of the motor under test 5, so that the motor under test 5 can run for a predetermined time under the corresponding test parameters, thereby detecting the relevant performance of the motor under test 5.

[0088] It should be noted that both the control cabinet 8 and the regulated power supply 9 are common devices in the field, which can be fully understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0089] In summary, the motor testing device provided in this application can perform performance tests on the motors of electric vehicles before they leave the factory, without having to mount the motors on the electric vehicles. This improves the convenience of motor testing, effectively reduces testing difficulty, testing costs and time. Importantly, it eliminates the need for test personnel to conduct manual road tests on actual vehicles, thereby effectively reducing the risk of safety accidents during the testing process and avoiding personal injury.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
