Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0029] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7The C-EPS power-assisted motor durability testing fixture includes a base 1, a test platform 2, a vibration mechanism 3, a contoured groove block 4, a test motor 5, a clamping mechanism 6, a cantilever counterweight testing mechanism 7, a self-locking counterweight structure 8, and a counterweight block 9.

A counterweight block 9 is installed on the cantilever counterweight testing mechanism 7. A self-locking counterweight structure 8 for easy installation and disassembly is provided in the counterweight block 9.

[0030] In this invention, the operator places the test motor 5 in the contoured slot 4, and then fixes the test motor 5 to the contoured slot 4 using the clamping mechanism 6. The output end of the test motor 5 is then connected to the cantilever counterweight testing mechanism 7. Subsequently, the counterweight block 9 is installed on the cantilever counterweight testing mechanism 7 using the self-locking counterweight structure 8. The test motor 5 is then started, and its operation drives the cantilever counterweight testing mechanism 7 to work. At this time, the load durability test of the test motor 5 can be performed. The self-locking counterweight structure 8 makes the installation of the counterweight block 9 more convenient and quick, reducing additional workload and installation time, and improving the efficiency of the testing device. Furthermore, when the test motor 5 is undergoing the load durability test, the drive component 31 is activated. The drive component 31 drives the movable component 32 to work, causing the test platform 2 to vibrate up and down, thereby simulating the bumpy road conditions encountered by the test motor 5 during daily use, and improving the comprehensiveness of the test of the test motor 5.

[0031] The drive assembly 31 includes a motor 311, a rotating spindle 312, and a cam 313. The motor 311 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the base 1, and the rotating spindle 312 is rotatably mounted on the left side of the inner wall of the base 1. The output end of the motor 311 is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating spindle 312, and the right end of the rotating spindle 312 is fixedly connected to the proximal end of the cam 313. The cam 313 is connected to the movable assembly 32.

[0032] The movable component 32 includes a push rod 321, a roller 322, a sliding groove 323, a first return spring 324, a support guide rod 325, a second return spring 326, and a limiting post 327. The lower end of the push rod 321 is rotatably mounted with the roller 322; the roller 322 is in contact with the distal end of the cam 313.

[0033] A sliding groove 323 is provided in the middle of the base 1. The push rod 321 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 323. The upper end of the first reset spring 324 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the test table 2. The lower end of the first reset spring 324 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the push rod 321.

[0034] Limiting posts 327 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the base 1. The upper end of the support guide rod 325 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the test platform 2. The support guide rod 325 is slidably connected to the limiting posts 327. The second return spring 326 is sleeved on the outer wall of the support guide rod 325. The upper end of the second return spring 326 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the test platform 2. The lower end of the second return spring 326 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the limiting posts 327.

[0035] In this invention, the motor 311 drives the rotating main shaft 312 to rotate, which in turn causes the cam 313 to rotate. When the distal end of the cam 313 contacts the roller 322, the roller 322 drives the push rod 321 to move upward along the sliding groove 323. As the push rod 321 moves upward, it compresses the first return spring 324, causing the test platform 2 to rise. The test platform 2 also drives the support guide rod 325 to move upward together. During the movement, the support guide rod 325 pulls the second return spring 326 upward. Through the continuous rotation of the cam 313, the test platform 2 moves continuously up and down in the vertical direction, simulating bumpy road conditions, thereby testing the torque resistance of the test motor 5.

[0036] The clamping mechanism 6 includes a rotary cylinder 61 and a pressure plate 62. The rotary cylinder 61 is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the test platform 2, and the output end of the rotary cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 62. The pressure plate 62 is in contact with the upper end of the test motor 5, and the contact surface between the pressure plate 62 and the test motor 5 is arc-shaped.

[0037] The cantilever counterweight testing mechanism 7 includes a mounting plate 71, a cantilever 72, a conical block 73, and a crossbar 74. The mounting plate 71 is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the test platform 2. The front end of the mounting plate 71 is rotatably connected to one end of the cantilever 72, and the other end of the cantilever 72 is fixedly installed with the crossbar 74. Two conical blocks 73 are fixedly installed on the crossbar 74. The rotation shaft of the cantilever 72 and the rotation shaft of the test motor 5 can be connected by a flange or a coupling.

[0038] In this invention, after the test motor 5 is placed in the contoured groove 4, the rotary cylinder 61 drives the clamping plate 62 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 62 is pressed against the upper end of the test motor 5 and the test motor 5 is fixed in the contoured groove 4; then the output end of the test motor 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the cantilever 72; then the counterweight 9 is installed on the crossbar 74, and the counterweight 9 is fixed to the crossbar 74 by the self-locking counterweight structure 8; then the test motor 5 is started, and the test motor 5 drives the cantilever 72 to rotate to test the load endurance of the test motor 5.

[0039] The self-locking counterweight structure 8 includes an installation groove 81, a locking groove 82, a locking block 83, a locking spring 84, and a locking pin 85. The installation groove 81 is provided in the middle of the counterweight block 9, and the diameter of the installation groove 81 is the same as the diameter of the large end of the conical block 73. The locking grooves 82 are symmetrically provided on the upper and lower sides of the rear end of the counterweight block 9. The locking pin 85 is slidably connected to the locking groove 82 for limiting. One end of the locking spring 84 is fixedly connected to the middle of the locking groove 82, and the other end of the locking spring 84 is fixedly connected to the locking block 83. The locking block 83 is fixedly installed on the inner end of the locking pin 85. The locking block 83 is provided with an inclined surface that cooperates with the conical block 73 for locking.

[0040] In this invention, the mounting groove 81 is aligned with the crossbar 74 and inserted. When the inclined surfaces on the two locking blocks 83 touch the outer end of the first conical block 73, the two locking blocks 83 will simultaneously compress the locking spring 84 outward, and the locking pin 85 will follow the locking blocks 83 and move outward along the locking groove 82 until the locking blocks 83 leave the outer end of the conical block 73. Then, the locking spring 84 returns to its original position, causing the locking blocks 83 and the locking pin 85 to reset. Then, the counterweight 9 is pushed backward until the rear end of the counterweight 9 is blocked by the front end of the mounting plate 71 and the left end of the locking block 83 is blocked by the rear end of the large end of the second conical block 73. At this time, the counterweight 9 is fixed on the crossbar 74. After the test is completed, the locking pin 85 is pulled outward and the counterweight 9 is removed from the crossbar 74.

[0041] Example 2: In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cantilever 72 can adopt a telescopic structure, so that the distance between the rotation center of the cantilever 72 and the crossbar 74 can be changed, thereby changing the rotation arm of the cantilever 72. At this time, the durability test of the test motor 5 under different load conditions can be achieved without replacing the counterweight 9.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
