Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tooling and fixture technology, and specifically relates to an air spring dual-station durable fixture. Background Technology
[0002] Air springs used in automobiles can effectively improve passenger comfort. To determine the service life of air springs, fatigue testing is required before they leave the factory. Various fatigue testing instruments are available on the market. For example, CN115452628A discloses a fatigue testing bench for air spring shock absorbers. This bench is driven by two sets of drive motors, which in turn drive eccentric wheels through main and driven pulleys and belts. The two eccentric wheels rotate up and down, mutually assisting each other, and with a relatively small driving force, repeatedly extend and retract the air spring.
[0003] However, the above test bench has the following drawbacks: First, the fixed eccentric wheel makes the lifting range of the test fixed, and it cannot be adjusted to the required lifting range and ensure lifting accuracy; Second, the two sets of drive components waste resources and increase costs; Third, during long-term testing, the belt is prone to damage in actual production, which will increase production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A dual-station durable air spring fixture includes an upper connecting pressure plate and multiple sets of clamping components. The upper connecting pressure plate is mounted on the output end of a linear power drive component. Multiple sets of air springs are installed between the upper connecting pressure plate and the multiple sets of connecting components. The deformation direction of the air springs is consistent with the output direction of the linear power drive component.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the linear power drive component includes an actuating cylinder.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the clamping component includes a base plate and a sliding rod. The bottom end of the air spring is mounted on the base plate, and the sliding rod is vertically mounted on the base plate. The sliding rod is slidably connected to the upper connecting pressure plate.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, bearings are installed on the upper connecting plate, and the sliding rods and bearings are slidably connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the clamping component includes two sets of sliding rods, and the two sets of sliding rods are respectively installed on both sides of the air spring.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, an upper air chamber connector is installed at the top of the air spring, and the upper air chamber connector is fixedly installed on the upper connecting pressure plate.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the middle part of the upper connecting pressure plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the linear power drive component, and the upper connecting pressure plate is connected to two sets of clamping components, with the two sets of clamping components being symmetrical about the output end of the drive component.
[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] This device can simultaneously perform fatigue tests on multiple air springs using only one set of drive components, significantly improving testing efficiency and reducing equipment investment and operating costs. The distance between the upper connecting plate and the base plate is determined by the height of the air spring, thus this device can adapt to workpieces of different sizes and types, and can flexibly adjust test parameters such as amplitude. Testing on the same fixture helps ensure the consistency and comparability of test data, improving the reliability of test results. At the same time, this device can centrally manage and monitor multiple test points, simplifying the operation process and reducing human error.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0021] Example 1

The upper connecting pressure plate 2 is installed on the output end of the linear power drive component. Multiple sets of air springs 1 are installed between the upper connecting pressure plate 2 and the multiple sets of connecting components. The deformation direction of the air springs 1 is consistent with the output direction of the linear power drive component.
[0023] The air spring 1 is equipped with an upper air chamber connector 3 and a piston fixing base 7 at its top and bottom ends, respectively.
[0024] Preferably, the upper connecting pressure plate 2 is I-shaped, and the middle part of the upper connecting pressure plate 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the linear power drive component. It includes two sets of clamping components, and the two sets of clamping components are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper connecting pressure plate 2 about the output axis of the linear power drive component. Multiple sets of upper air chamber connectors 3 are fixedly connected to the upper connecting pressure plate 2, and the piston fixing base 7 is installed on the corresponding clamping components.
[0025] Preferably, the linear drive component is selected as a brake cylinder.
[0026] Each clamping component includes a base plate 6 and two sets of sliding rods 5. The piston fixing base 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 6. The two sets of sliding rods 5 are vertically installed on the base plates 6 on both sides of the piston fixing base 7. A set of bearings 4 are respectively installed on the upper connecting pressure plates 2 on both sides of the upper air chamber connector 3. The sliding rods 5 and the bearings 4 are slidably connected in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0027] Preferably, the two sets of sliding rods 5 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the air spring 1.
[0028] Working process: After inputting the required amplitude, start the actuator cylinder. The actuator cylinder drives the upper connecting pressure plate 2 to rise and fall repeatedly. The upper connecting pressure plate 2 drives the two sets of air springs 1 to rise and fall repeatedly along the sliding rod 5 in a synchronous manner to perform a durability test.
[0029] This device can simultaneously perform fatigue tests on multiple sets of air springs 1 using only one set of drive components, significantly improving testing efficiency and reducing equipment investment and operating costs. The distance between the upper connecting pressure plate 2 and the base plate 6 is determined by the height of the air spring 1, so this device can adapt to workpieces of different sizes and types, and can flexibly adjust test parameters such as amplitude. Testing on the same fixture helps ensure the consistency and comparability of test data, improving the reliability of test results. At the same time, this device can centrally manage and monitor multiple test points, simplifying the operation process and reducing human error.
