Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shift fork friction performance testing technology, and more specifically, to an automotive shift fork friction performance testing platform. Background Technology

[0002] The shift fork is a component on a car transmission. It is connected to the gear lever and located at the lower end of the lever. It moves the middle gear wheel to change the input / output speed ratio. The shift fork is mainly used for clutch shifting. In actual use, due to the engagement of the gears on the end faces of the lower fork, long-term use will cause wear on the end faces of the lower fork. Therefore, the wear performance of the shift fork needs to be tested during the actual production process.

[0003] Traditional methods for testing the friction performance of automotive shift forks involve testing the assembled gearbox on a gearbox test bench. This test indirectly assesses the friction life of the shift forks while also testing the overall performance of the gearbox. However, this method forces companies that manufacture shift forks to equip themselves with a complete gearbox test bench, which is costly, wastes resources, and is inconvenient for testing the friction performance of shift forks. Therefore, a new automotive shift fork friction performance testing bench is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automotive shift fork friction performance testing platform to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automotive shift fork friction performance testing platform, comprising a housing, a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the housing, a fixed rod fixedly connected to the top of the housing, a support ring fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed rod, a first nut and a shift fork sleeved on the top of the fixed rod, the second support ring of the fixed rod facilitating the installation and limiting of the shift fork, and the compression of the shift fork by the first nut improving the stability of the shift fork, a rotating rod inserted into the top of the housing, and a first gear fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod;

[0006] A motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the housing. The output end of the motor is connected to a second gear. A connecting ring is provided in the middle of the first gear. An electric push rod is connected to the bottom of the connecting ring. Starting the motor controls the second gear to drive the first gear to rotate, which can control the rotation rod to rotate. Starting the electric push rod controls the connecting ring to drive the first gear downward, which can control the rotation rod to move downward, making it convenient to separate the top of the rotation rod.

[0007] A limiting groove is formed in the middle of the rotating rod, and a stabilizing rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the limiting groove. Springs and limiting sliders are symmetrically sleeved at both ends of the stabilizing rod. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting slider. Friction blocks are provided on opposite sides of the two fixed plates. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to one side of the friction blocks. A pressing plate is provided on opposite sides of the two fixed plates. A cylinder is provided on one side of the pressing plate. By controlling the pressing plate to push the fixed plate with the cylinder, the fixed plate can drive the friction block to move towards one side of the shift fork until the friction block is in contact with the shift fork. The friction performance on the shift fork can be controlled by the rotation of the friction block, which is convenient for testing. By controlling the thrust of the cylinder on the fixed plate, the pressure of the friction block on the shift fork can be adjusted, which is convenient for testing the friction performance under different pressures.

[0008] Preferably, the top end of the fixing rod is threadedly connected to the first nut, the shift fork is disposed at the bottom of the first nut, and one end of the shift fork extends between the two fixing discs.

The controller facilitates start-up, and the air pump can inject gas into the cylinder to facilitate start-up.

[0010] Preferably, the two cylinders are respectively located at the top of the support frame and the middle of the housing. The cross-section of the extrusion plate is set with an arc-shaped structure. A ball bearing is provided on one side of the extrusion plate. By pushing the fixed plate with the extrusion plate, the movement of the friction block can be easily controlled, and the ball bearing is provided to avoid friction between the fixed plate and the extrusion plate.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting slider is disposed on the opposite side of the two springs, the limiting slider is slidably connected to the limiting groove, and the stabilizing rod passes through the middle of the limiting slider. By pushing the limiting slider with the spring, the limiting slider can generate a force away from the shift fork when not in use, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the shift fork.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the fixed disk is provided with threaded holes, and the threaded rod corresponds one-to-one with the threaded hole. The threaded rod passes through the threaded hole and is fitted with a second nut. The multiple friction blocks form a ring structure.

[0013] Preferably, the first gear meshes with the second gear, and ball bearings are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting ring. The electric push rod and the motor are both fixed in the middle of the housing. Activating the electric push rod controls the first gear to drive the rotating rod to move up and down. Activating the motor controls the second gear to drive the first gear to rotate the rotating rod.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model firstly facilitates the installation and fixation of the shift fork by setting a fixing rod and cooperating with the first nut and support ring.

This is convenient for testing and can be used to test the friction performance of one side of the shift fork or both sides of the shift fork at the same time, which is convenient for testing and improves the use effect.

[0016] 2. This utility model also avoids friction between the extrusion plate and the fixed plate by setting ball bearings, and pushes the limit slider by spring to push the extrusion plate against the fixed plate, so that the friction block generates a force away from the fork, which facilitates separation and improves the use effect. The friction block is conveniently installed and fixed by the cooperation of the threaded rod, the second nut and the threaded hole, which facilitates the replacement of the friction block after it is severely damaged, thus improving the use effect.

[0017] In summary, through the interaction of the above-mentioned multiple functions, it is convenient to test the friction performance of the fork end of the shift fork, which facilitates testing and use, and also makes it easy to replace severely damaged friction blocks, thereby improving the performance.

Activating the electric push rod 21 controls the connecting ring 20 to drive the first gear 8 downwards, which in turn controls the downward movement of the rotating rod 7, facilitating the separation of the top of the rotating rod 7. The cylinder 24 controls the pressing plate 25 to push the fixed plate 15, causing the fixed plate 15 to move the friction block 17 towards one side of the shift fork 6 until the friction block 17 is in contact with the shift fork 6. The rotation of the friction block 17 can control the friction performance on the shift fork 6, facilitating testing. Furthermore, by controlling the pushing force of the cylinder 24 on the fixed plate 15, the pressure of the friction block 17 on the shift fork 6 can be adjusted, facilitating the testing of friction performance under different pressures.

[0026] As attached Figure 1-4As shown, the top of the fixing rod 3 is threadedly connected to the first nut 5, the shift fork 6 is located at the bottom of the first nut 5, and one end of the shift fork 6 extends between the two fixing discs 15.

[0028] When it is necessary to test the friction performance of the top of the shift fork 6, the top cylinder 24 is started to control the pressing plate 25 to push the top fixed plate 15 until the top friction block 17 is in contact with the top of the shift fork 6. Then the motor 10 is started to control the friction block 17 to rotate in sequence. By observing the rotation time and the friction condition of the shift fork 6 surface after friction, the friction performance of the shift fork 6 can be understood.
