Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment metrology and calibration technology, specifically a portable parking brake performance tester calibration device. Background Technology
[0002] According to the national standard GB 7258—2017 "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles", when a motor vehicle undergoes its annual inspection, the vehicle inspection agency needs to test the vehicle's parking brake performance to assess whether the vehicle's braking performance under braking conditions meets the requirements. Due to the common problem of insufficient space for vehicle inspection agencies in cities, and the difficulty in constructing standard ramps, vehicle inspection agencies typically use parking brake performance testers to conduct vehicle parking performance tests.
[0003] During vehicle inspection, the accuracy of the parking brake performance tester's readings is crucial, necessitating metrological calibration. However, because the entire parking brake performance tester's bracket needs to be fixedly installed in an open area of the vehicle inspection agency, it's difficult to move the entire device for testing. Typically, the force sensor must be removed and sent to the metrology agency's laboratory for calibration. This prevents the vehicle inspection agency from conducting its annual vehicle inspections, disrupting its operations. Furthermore, calibrating the force sensor solely in the laboratory only ensures the accuracy and reliability of the force sensor readings; it doesn't verify the safety of the parking brake performance tester's bracket within the vehicle inspection agency.

[0036] The support bracket 10 is connected at its rear end to the bracket 91 of the parking brake performance tester via a snap-fit structure.
[0037] The traction assembly 20 includes an extension bracket 21, a motor mounting shaft 22, an electric rotary motor 23, and a pull rope 24.
