Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air spring accessories, and specifically relates to an air spring durability testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Air spring durability testing structures are mainly used to simulate and evaluate the durability and performance stability of air springs under actual use conditions. Current testing devices can only complete the durability test of one air spring at a time, resulting in low testing efficiency. Moreover, most testing devices can only perform telescopic movement tests along the axial direction of the air spring. A small number of testing devices can achieve torsional testing, such as the patent application with publication number CN118243415A, which achieves telescopic and torsional testing of air springs through a complex linkage mechanism connected to the upper and lower ends of the air spring. However, for some air springs without an intermediate telescopic rod, the linkage mechanism structure is complicated and extremely inconvenient to install. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air spring durability testing device that is easy to assemble and disassemble and has high testing efficiency.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an air spring durability testing device, comprising a first base, a first mounting bracket disposed on the first base, and a first mounting frame mounted on the first mounting bracket. The first mounting frame has a first through hole. The testing device further comprises a composite drive mechanism, which includes a first telescopic rod, a first telescopic part for driving the first telescopic rod, and a second base for mounting the first telescopic part. The first telescopic rod passes through the first through hole and at least partly lies within the first mounting frame. A first mounting position for mounting an air spring is formed between the upper end of the first telescopic rod and the top inner side of the first mounting frame. The lower end of the first telescopic part is rotatably connected to the second base with the pivot being a first pivot. There is a gap between the bottom of the first telescopic part and the second base below it for the first telescopic part to swing, and there is a gap between the first telescopic rod and the first through hole for the first telescopic rod to swing. When the first telescopic part extends or retracts, it will swing due to the deformation of the air spring, thereby simulating the working conditions of the air spring during driving, thus realizing the axial tension, compression, and radial torsion tests of the air spring.
[0005] In another embodiment, each of the composite drive mechanisms includes an adjustable third base mounted on the first base, a first locking mechanism for fixing the third base to the first base or unlocking it from the first base, and a second base mounted on the third base to facilitate adjustment of the position of the composite drive mechanism on the first base, thereby making the distribution of multiple composite drive mechanisms more reasonable.
[0006] In another embodiment, the first locking mechanism includes a plurality of parallel first mounting slots formed on the upper surface of the first base and a first bolt assembly passing through the third base. The first mounting slots are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The first bolt assembly includes a first locking bolt with the head disposed in the first mounting slot and the stud passing through the third base, and a first locking nut threadedly connected to the first locking bolt and located above the third base. The arrangement of multiple first mounting slots can further reduce the installation difficulty of the composite drive mechanism and can be applied to different applications.
[0007] In another embodiment, the first through hole is an oblong hole, and the first telescopic rod swings within the first through hole.
[0008] In another embodiment, the first telescopic part is an electric push rod.
[0009] In another embodiment, a second bolt assembly is provided on the top inner side of the first mounting frame, and an air spring is connected between the second bolt assembly and the first telescopic rod.
[0010] In another embodiment, the testing device further includes a second mounting bracket disposed on the first base and a second mounting frame mounted on the second mounting bracket. The second mounting frame has a second through hole. The testing device also includes a single drive mechanism, which includes a second telescopic rod matching the second through hole, a second telescopic part for driving the second telescopic rod, and a fourth base for mounting the second telescopic part. The second telescopic rod passes through the second through hole and at least part of it is located within the second mounting frame. A second mounting position for mounting an air spring is formed between the upper end of the second telescopic rod and the top inner side of the second mounting frame. When the second telescopic part extends or retracts, the second through hole guides the second telescopic rod, causing the second telescopic rod to move in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the axial tension and compression test of the air spring.
[0011] In another embodiment, the second telescopic part is an electric push rod.
[0012] In another embodiment, a third bolt assembly is provided on the top inner side of the second mounting frame, and an air spring is connected between the third bolt assembly and the second telescopic rod.
[0013] In another embodiment, the ratio of the number of single drive mechanisms to the number of composite drive mechanisms is 1:2 to 1:4.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This device enables simultaneous testing of multiple air springs through multiple composite drive mechanisms installed on the first base, thereby improving testing efficiency; and the composite drive mechanism realizes telescopic torsion testing, while the single drive mechanism realizes telescopic testing, so one device can realize testing in different states.
