Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A bench test apparatus for measuring the internal heat transfer characteristics of a brake disc includes a test bench 1, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the test bench 1, two bearing seats 3 fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame 2, an experimental shaft 4 connected to the middle bearing of the two bearing seats 3, brake disc bodies 5 provided at both ends of the experimental shaft 4, a braking mechanism 6 provided at the top of the support frame 2, a temperature measuring mechanism 7 provided at the top of the test bench 1, a connecting mechanism 8 provided between the experimental shaft 4 and the brake disc, and a driving mechanism 9 provided at the top of the test bench 1.

[0031] The braking mechanism 6 includes a first electric push rod 61 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 2. The output end of the first electric push rod 61 is fixedly connected to a lifting frame 62. Both ends of the lifting frame 62 are provided with brake calipers 63. The brake calipers 63 are in contact with the brake disc body 5. The top of the support frame 2 is provided with a brake cylinder 64. A transmission hose 65 is provided between the brake cylinder 64 and the brake caliper 63.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the temperature measuring mechanism 7 includes a support base 71 fixedly connected to the top of the test bench 1. The top of the support base 71 is open. Multiple temperature sensors 72 are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the support base 71. The temperature sensors 72 are located on one side of the brake disc body 5.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, four guide rods 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 2, and the guide rods 10 are movably connected to the lifting frame 62.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a limiting disk 11 is provided at the top of the guide rod 10, and a limiting screw 12 is provided on the side wall of the limiting disk 11. The side wall of the limiting screw 12 is in contact with the guide rod 10.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a strip groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the guide rod 10, and one end of the limiting screw 12 is located inside the strip groove 13, with the side wall of the limiting screw 12 in contact with the strip groove 13.

[0036] First, the brake disc 5 is securely mounted on both ends of the experimental shaft 4 via the connecting mechanism 8. Next, the temperature sensors 72 in the temperature measuring mechanism 7 are adjusted to ensure accurate measurement of the temperature change of the brake disc 5 during braking. At this point, the braking mechanism 6 is in its initial position, and the brake calipers 63 on the lifting frame 62 maintain a certain distance from the brake disc 5. The drive mechanism 9 is activated, and the drive motor 91 begins operation, driving the experimental shaft 4 and the brake discs 5 at both ends to rotate via the transmission device. Once the predetermined rotational speed is reached, the braking mechanism 6 begins operation. The first electric push rod 61 pushes the lifting frame 62 downward, causing the brake calipers 63 to gradually approach and contact the brake disc 5. Simultaneously, the brake cylinder 64 provides pressure to the brake calipers 63 through the transmission hose 65, simulating a real braking process. During braking, the temperature sensors 72 in the temperature measuring mechanism 7 monitor the temperature in real time. The temperature change on the surface of the brake disc 5 is measured and the data is transmitted to the data acquisition system. Since the temperature sensors 72 are equally spaced on the inner wall of the support 71, temperature data at different positions of the brake disc 5 can be obtained, providing a basis for subsequent heat transfer characteristic analysis. In order to ensure the stability of the lifting frame 62 during the up and down movement, four guide rods 10 are provided on the support frame 2. The lifting frame 62 is movably connected to the guide rods 10 to ensure that it will not deviate from the predetermined trajectory during the movement. In addition, the top of the guide rods 10 is also provided with a limit plate 11 and a limit screw 12. By adjusting the position of the limit screw 12 in the strip groove 13, the maximum descent height of the lifting frame 62 can be limited, thereby avoiding the brake caliper 63 from applying excessive pressure to the brake disc 5. The setting of the strip groove 13 increases the friction between the limit screw 12 and the guide rod 10.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting mechanism 8 includes a connecting plate 81 fixedly connected to both ends of the experimental shaft 4. Multiple through holes 82 are provided on the side wall of the connecting plate 81, and multiple mounting holes 83 are provided on the side wall of the brake disc body 5. The positions of the through holes 82 and the mounting holes 83 coincide, and mounting bolts 84 are provided in the middle of the through holes 82 and the mounting holes 83.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 9 includes a drive motor 91 bolted to the top of the test bench 1. The output end of the drive motor 91 is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 92, and the middle part of the test shaft 4 is fixedly connected to a driven wheel 93. A transmission belt 94 is provided between the drive wheel 92 and the driven wheel 93.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a washer 14 is provided in the middle of the mounting bolt 84, and the washer 14 is located on one side of the brake disc body 5.

[0040] In use, the connecting mechanism 8 mainly consists of connecting discs 81, through holes 82, mounting holes 83, and mounting bolts 84. Connecting discs 81 are fixed at both ends of the experimental shaft 4. Multiple through holes 82 are pre-set on the side walls of these connecting discs 81. Mounting holes 83 corresponding to the positions of the through holes 82 on the side walls of the brake disc body 5 are also provided. When the brake disc body 5 needs to be connected to the experimental shaft 4, simply align the mounting holes 83 of the brake disc body 5 with the through holes 82 of the connecting discs 81. Then, pass the mounting bolts 84 through the through holes 82 and mounting holes 83, and tighten them with nuts to achieve a stable connection between the brake disc body 5 and the experimental shaft 4. In addition, a washer is provided in the middle of the mounting bolts 84. The gasket 14 is located on one side of the brake disc 5 and is used to increase the stability and sealing of the connection to prevent loosening or leakage during the experiment. The drive mechanism 9 consists of a drive motor 91, a drive wheel 92, a driven wheel 93, and a transmission belt 94. The drive motor 91 is bolted to the top of the test bench 1 and its output end is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 92. The driven wheel 93 is fixed in the middle of the test shaft 4. When the drive motor 91 is started, the drive wheel 92 rotates accordingly and transmits power to the driven wheel 93 through the transmission belt 94. The driven wheel 93 rotates synchronously with the test shaft 4, thereby driving the brake discs 5 at both ends of the test shaft 4 to rotate at a certain speed to simulate the rotation state during the actual braking process.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem that the existing vehicle disc brake test bench device cannot achieve quick installation and separation between the brake caliper 63 and the brake disc 5 is solved, which leads to a reduction in the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the brake disc 5, and thus affects the testing efficiency of the brake disc 5.

[0042] Working Principle: In use, the two ends of the test shaft are first connected to the brake disc body 5 via connecting discs 81. The side wall of the connecting disc 81 has multiple through holes 82, and the side wall of the brake disc body 5 has multiple mounting holes 83. The through holes 82 and mounting holes 83 are aligned, and the connecting disc 81 and brake disc body 5 are fixed by mounting bolts 84 to ensure stability and connection during the experiment. The drive motor 91 drives the drive wheel 92 to rotate, thereby rotating the test shaft 4 and causing the brake disc body 5 to rotate during the experiment. The first electric push rod 61 pushes the lifting frame 62 to descend, causing the brake caliper 63 to gradually approach and contact the brake disc body 5. At the same time, the brake cylinder 64 provides pressure to the brake caliper 63 through the transmission hose 65 to simulate the real braking process. During the braking process, the temperature sensor 72 in the temperature measuring mechanism 7 monitors the temperature change on the surface of the brake disc body 5 in real time and transmits the data to the data acquisition system. Since the temperature sensors 72 are equally spaced on the inner wall of the support base 71, temperature data at different positions of the brake disc body 5 can be obtained, providing a basis for subsequent heat transfer characteristic analysis.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the 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 or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
