DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] Referring to Figures 1-3 The vice frame bushing preloading test fixture comprises a fixture upper body 1, a first fixture lower body 2, a second fixture lower body 3 and a vice frame bushing 6.

[0022] Test rings 4 are arranged between the mutually close side walls of the first fixture lower body 2 and the second fixture lower body 3. It should be noted that the first fixture lower body 2 and the second fixture lower body 3 form a fixture lower body, facilitating assembly of the test rings 4.

[0023] A grommet 5 is arranged on the inner side wall of the test rings 4, and the inner side wall of the grommet 5 is attached to the outer side wall of the vice frame bushing 6. A recess 7 opposite to the test rings 4 is arranged at the lower end of the fixture upper body 1, and a pressing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the recess 7.

[0024] A first bolt 9 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the second fixture lower body 3, and the side wall of the first bolt 9 is attached to the side wall of the test rings 4, so as to stabilize the position of the test rings 4.

[0025] The first fixture lower body 2 and the second fixture lower body 3 are connected by four second bolts 10.

[0026] After the vice frame bushing 6, the grommet 5 and the test rings 4 are assembled, the vice frame bushing 6, the grommet 5 and the test rings 4 are placed between the first fixture lower body 2 and the second fixture lower body 3, then the first fixture lower body 2 and the second fixture lower body 3 are vertically placed in a hydraulic machine, then the hydraulic machine is started, a pressure is applied to the second fixture lower body 3 to a required preloading load, then the four second bolts 10 are manually rotated to connect the first fixture lower body 2 and the second fixture lower body 3, and finally the preloading force is removed. In this way, the first fixture lower body 2 and the second fixture lower body 3 are fixed by the four second bolts 10, so that the vice frame bushing 6 has a lateral preloading.

[0027] The mounting mechanism is used for mounting between the fixture upper body 1 and the first fixture lower body 2, and comprises four threaded barrels 11 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixture lower body 2. The upper end of the fixture upper body 1 is fixedly connected with two telescopic guide rails 12, which can ensure vertical up-and-down movement of a horizontal plate 13. The upper end of the telescopic guide rail 12 is fixedly connected with the horizontal plate 13, the side wall of the horizontal plate 13 is threadedly connected with two third bolts 14, and the side wall of the third bolt 14 penetrates through the side wall of the fixture upper body 1 and is threadedly connected with the inner wall of the corresponding threaded barrel 11.

[0028] The upper clamp body 1 is placed above the laterally preloaded subframe bushing 6, and is placed in a hydraulic machine, then the hydraulic machine is started, pressure is applied to the upper clamp body 1 to the required preloading load, then the four third bolts 14 are manually turned to connect the upper clamp body 1, the first lower clamp body 2 and the second lower clamp body 3, and finally the preloading force is removed, so that the upper clamp body 1, the first lower clamp body 2 and the second lower clamp body 3 are fixed by the four third bolts 14, and the subframe bushing 6 has radial preloading.

[0029] Before the subframe bushing 6 is preloaded, the subframe bushing 6, the spacer ring 5 and the test ring 4 are assembled, then the subframe bushing 6, the spacer ring 5 and the test ring 4 are placed between the first lower clamp body 2 and the second lower clamp body 3, then the first lower clamp body 2 and the second lower clamp body 3 are vertically placed in an external hydraulic machine, then the hydraulic machine is started, pressure is applied to the second lower clamp body 3 to the required preloading load, then the four second bolts 10 are manually turned to connect the first lower clamp body 2 and the second lower clamp body 3, and finally the preloading force is removed, so that the first lower clamp body 2 and the second lower clamp body 3 are fixed by the four second bolts 10, and the subframe bushing 6 has lateral preloading.

[0030] Then the upper clamp body 1 is placed above the laterally preloaded subframe bushing 6, and is placed in a hydraulic machine, then the hydraulic machine is started, pressure is applied to the upper clamp body 1 to the required preloading load, then the four third bolts 14 are manually turned to connect the upper clamp body 1, the first lower clamp body 2 and the second lower clamp body 3, and finally the preloading force is removed, so that the upper clamp body 1, the first lower clamp body 2 and the second lower clamp body 3 are fixed by the four third bolts 14, and the subframe bushing 6 has radial preloading.

[0031] In this way, the prior art can only load vertical load when detecting radial stiffness, and cannot increase preloading in the lateral direction, so that the detected radial stiffness cannot truly reflect the stiffness in the vehicle-mounted state, resulting in inconsistency between the detected radial stiffness and the actual rear axle stiffness under preloading in the vehicle-mounted state.

[0032] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
