Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control arm detection technology, specifically a detector for positive control arm fatigue testing. Background Technology

[0002] The control arm is an important component of the car's suspension system, responsible for connecting the wheels and the body to ensure vehicle stability and handling. The ball joint is a key part connecting the control arm and the wheel suspension assembly, allowing the control arm to rotate in different directions and bear the forces of suspension and steering. After production, fatigue tests are required between the control arm and the ball joint. Only after passing the tests can the control arm be put into car assembly; otherwise, the car will have safety hazards. In particular, the quality of the ball joint needs to be tested.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Announcement No. CN217385068U includes two incomplete gears, one and two, fixed coaxially. The first incomplete gear has three-quarters of a tooth, and the second incomplete gear has one-quarter of a tooth, with their teeth complementing each other. The first incomplete gear meshes with a driven gear, which is connected to an eccentric rocker arm. The other end of the rocker arm is rotatably connected to a connecting mechanism. The second incomplete gear meshes with another driven gear, which has a transmission assembly. The other end of the transmission assembly has a cam pressing mechanism, which is located above the connecting mechanism. A stepper motor is keyed to the axial direction of the first incomplete gear. The first and second incomplete gears drive the rocker arm and the cam pressing mechanism to continuously switch actions. After reciprocating, the ball pin is subjected to downward pressure, completing a single fatigue test. Under the continuous drive of the stepper motor, fatigue testing of the ball pin is continuously performed, improving the testing efficiency of the ball pin.

[0004] The applicant found some shortcomings in the use of the patent: the control arm is only clamped and fixed on both sides by two clamps. During fatigue testing, the movement of the ball head may cause the control arm to move upward, affecting the test. Moreover, the testing device does not have the function of testing in high-temperature environments, and the testing is relatively simple.

[0005] Therefore, this invention designs a detector for positive control arm fatigue testing to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a detector for fatigue testing of a positive control arm, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a detector for fatigue testing of a positive control arm, comprising: a temperature control box, a shell fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the temperature control box, a driving device provided inside the shell, a swing arm connected to the driving device, a clamping ring rotatably installed at one end of the swing arm, bolts rotatably installed on both sides of the clamping ring via threads, an arc-shaped clamping block rotatably installed on one side of the bolts, a base plate fixedly installed below the clamping ring and fixedly installed on the temperature control box, a bracket fixedly installed on the base plate, a screw rod rotatably installed on the bracket via threads, a movable clamping plate rotatably installed on one side of the screw rod, a fixed clamping plate fixedly installed on one side of the movable clamping plate and fixedly installed on the base plate, an L-shaped plate installed on the top of the movable clamping plate, a screw rod rotatably installed on the top of the L-shaped plate via threads, a pressure plate rotatably installed on the bottom of the screw rod rotatably, a hot air blower provided below one side of the temperature control box, a temperature sensor provided on the side wall of the temperature control box, and a controller provided at one end of the temperature control box.

[0008] Preferably, the arc-shaped clamping block is equipped with a limiting rod that is slidably connected to the clamping ring, and the limiting rod can limit the arc-shaped clamping block.

[0009] Preferably, a guide rod that is slidably connected to the bracket is installed on one side of the movable clamping plate, and the guide rod can limit the movement of the movable clamping plate.

[0010] Preferably, the hot air blower is provided with a dustproof net on its outer side, which is installed with the temperature control box by screws. The dustproof net can prevent dust from entering the hot air blower.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the temperature control box is provided with a door on one side of the base plate, which facilitates the loading and unloading of materials by the operator on the control arm.

[0012] Preferably, an exhaust port is provided on the upper side of the temperature control box for venting.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses screw one to bring the movable clamping plate close to the fixed clamping plate, which clamps and fixes both sides of the control arm. Then, screw two is rotated to lower the pressure plate, which presses the top of the control arm. In this way, during fatigue testing, the ball head moves, which can prevent the ball head from driving the control arm to move upward and avoid affecting the fatigue test.

[0015] 2. This utility model starts the hot air blower to heat up the temperature control box. The temperature inside the temperature control box can be controlled by the controller and temperature sensor. Different temperatures can be simulated, making fatigue detection of the control arm more diverse. Attached Figure Description
