[0033] The application is applied to the durability and strength test bench for testing gear selecting and shifting actuator.

[0034] As shown in the application, the application provides a durability and strength test bench for testing gear selecting and shifting actuator. Figures 1-2 The application is applied to the durability and strength test bench for testing gear selecting and shifting actuator.

[0035] The load force applying assembly comprises: a first load force applying assembly arranged at one end of the bottom plate 210; a second load force applying assembly arranged at the other end of the bottom plate 210; the first load force applying assembly and the second load force applying assembly realize precise force applying; a gas storage tank 120, one end of which is communicated with a gas source provided by a workshop total compression pump through a first gas pipe 131, and the other end of which is communicated with the first load force applying assembly and the second load force applying assembly through a second gas pipe 132, so as to ensure the stability of gas pressure; an adjusting valve 110 arranged on the first gas pipe 131 between the gas storage tank 120 and the gas source provided by the workshop total compression pump, used for adjusting the pressure size, so as to change the size of load output force, and can adapt to various requirements; wherein the load force applying assembly comprises: a cylinder, a cylinder body end of which is communicated with the other end of the gas storage tank 120; two guide seats arranged at two sides of the cylinder respectively; two guide rods corresponding to the guide seats and arranged in the guide seats; one end of the guide rod penetrates through the guide seat, and a limiting plate is arranged at the end head, used for limiting the moving distance of the guide rod; a force applying top plate, one side of which is fixedly connected with the other end of the guide rod and a piston rod end of the cylinder; the force applying top plate is pushed by the piston rod end of the cylinder, so as to provide required load force for the gear selecting and shifting actuator, and the guide rod is matched with the guide seat, so as to ensure that the force applying top plate does not deflect in the movement process.

[0036] The serial action table mechanism includes: a base plate 210; a support frame 220, which is disposed between the first load applying component and the second load applying component and is fixedly connected to the base plate 210; multiple shift shafts 240, which are mounted on the support frame 220; multiple shift levers 230, each with a groove on its upper surface for inserting a shift head of the shifting mechanism; the shift levers 230 are disposed in the middle of the shift shafts 240; wherein the shift shafts 240 and the shift levers 230 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence and fixedly connected; the first load applying component and the second load applying component are respectively disposed at both ends of the shift shafts 240, and the ends of the shift shafts 240 are in contact with the other side of the force-applying top plate.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the first load-applying component includes: a first cylinder 141, two first guide seats 142, two first guide rods 143, a first force-applying top plate 144, and a first limiting plate 145; the second load-applying component includes: a second cylinder 151, two second guide seats 152, two second guide rods 153, a second force-applying top plate 154, and a second limiting plate 155; wherein, the cylinder body end 141b of the first cylinder 141 and the cylinder body end 151b of the second cylinder 151 are connected to the air storage tank 120 through the second air pipe 132. Since the volume of the air storage tank 120 is larger than the volume of the first cylinder 141 and the second cylinder 151, the air storage tank 120... The 0 can balance the compressed air in the first cylinder 141 and the second cylinder 151 when the piston is pushed back, so that the change in gas pressure in the first cylinder 141 and the second cylinder 151 can be ignored, thereby ensuring that the load output force of the first cylinder 141 and the second cylinder 151 remains almost constant; the piston rod end 141a of the first cylinder 141 is fixedly connected to one side of the first force-applying top plate 144, and the piston rod end 151a of the second cylinder 151 is fixedly connected to one side of the second force-applying top plate 154; the first force-applying top plate 144 and the second force-applying top plate 154 are disposed at both ends of the shift shaft 240 and are in contact with the shift shaft 240.

[0038] The first load force applying assembly and the second load force applying assembly are structurally identical, and the working mode of the load force applying assembly is described by taking the first load force applying assembly as an example. Before the durability and strength test of the shift execution mechanism is performed, the air pressure is adjusted by the adjusting valve 110 to ensure that the first air cylinder 141 outputs the required load output force. When the shift shaft 240 moves towards the first air cylinder 141, the shift shaft 240 pushes the first force applying top plate 144 to move towards the first air cylinder 141, and the piston rod end 141a of the first air cylinder 141 moves inward to compress the air in the first air cylinder 141 to a certain pressure adjusted by the adjusting valve 110. The compressed air is balanced by the air tank 120, so that the air pressure change value can be ignored, and the load output force of the first air cylinder 141 remains unchanged. At the same time, the first guide rod 143 and the first guide seat 142 cooperate to maintain the moving direction of the first force applying top plate 144 without deviation, prevent deviation and jamming, ensure that the load force accurately acts vertically on the shift execution mechanism, and improve the test reliability and repeatability. When the shift shaft 240 moves towards the second air cylinder 151, the piston rod end 141a of the first air cylinder 141 pushes the first force applying top plate 144 to move towards the second air cylinder 151, and the first limiting plate 145 limits the movement distance of the first guide rod 143. When the first limiting plate 145 contacts the first guide seat 142, the first guide rod 143 stops moving, and the first force applying top plate 144 also stops moving, completing a simulation action cycle and providing a stable load for the strength test of the shift execution mechanism.

[0039] As shown in Figures 4-5 In order to be close to the actual number of gears of the gearbox, the number of the shift shafts 240 and the shift knobs 230 is four. The four shift shafts 240 are respectively a first shift shaft 241, a second shift shaft 242, a third shift shaft 243, and a fourth shift shaft 244. Each of the shift shafts 240 is provided with a limiting groove 240a near the position where it contacts the first force applying top plate 144. The two ends of the shift shaft 240 contact the first force applying top plate 144 and the second force applying top plate 154, respectively, serving as a power transmission hub to convert the action of the shift knob 230 into a force acting on the force applying top plate, simulating the actual shift force. The four shift knobs 230 are respectively a first shift knob 231, a second shift knob 232, a third shift knob 233, and a fourth shift knob 234. Each of the shift knobs 230 is provided with a groove for inserting the knob of the shift execution mechanism. The grooves are respectively a first groove 235, a second groove 236, a third groove 237, and a fourth groove 238. The shift shaft 240, the shift knob 230, and the groove are one-to-one corresponding, and the shift knob 230 is fixedly connected with the shift shaft 240.

[0040] The support frame 220 comprises: a top plate 221, the surface of which is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 224 for mounting the selection and shift execution mechanism; two first support plates 222, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the top plate 221; the two ends of the first support plate 222 are fixedly connected with the top plate 221 and the bottom plate 210 respectively; the two ends of the shift shaft 240 pass through the first support plate 222 and contact the force applying top plate; a second support plate 223, which is supported at the limiting groove 240a and fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 210, cooperates with the second support plate 223 through the limiting groove 240a to prevent the shift shaft 240 from rotating and ensure the distance between adjacent shift blocks 230.

[0041] When the test bench is assembled and no test is performed, the piston rod end 151a of the first cylinder 141 and the second cylinder 151 pushes the first force applying top plate 144 and the second force applying top plate 154, the first limiting plate 145 and the second limiting plate 155 play a limiting role, the first force applying top plate 144 and the second force applying top plate 154 reach the maximum moving distance, the two ends of the shift shaft 240 contact the first force applying top plate 144 and the second force applying top plate 154, and the two ends of the shift shaft 240 are guaranteed not to be forced at this time.

[0042] When the test is carried out, the selected gear shifting actuator is installed on the support frame 220, the knob of the selected gear shifting actuator is inserted into the groove of the gear shifting knob 230, the knob of the selected gear shifting actuator can move back and forth in the groove in the direction from the first groove 235 to the fourth groove 238, the knob of the selected gear shifting actuator selects any one of the gear shifting knobs 230 to be actuated, and the actuation of the selected gear shifting knob 230 drives the corresponding gear shifting shaft 240 to move, drives the load force applying assembly to simulate the gear shifting force receiving process, and accurately reproduces the actual working condition gear selection and gear shifting action sequence through the cooperation of multiple components. Taking the movement of the knob of the selected gear shifting actuator in the direction of the first load force applying assembly as an example, the knob of the selected gear shifting actuator is inserted into the first groove 235, actuates the first gear shifting knob 231, the first gear shifting knob 231 drives the first gear shifting shaft 241 to move in the direction of the first load force applying assembly, pushes the first force applying top plate 144 to move, and makes the piston rod end 141a of the first air cylinder 141 move towards the cylinder body end 141b, compresses the air in the first air cylinder 141 which is adjusted to a certain pressure through the regulating valve 110, and the compressed air is balanced through the air tank 120, so that the air pressure change value can be ignored, the load output force of the first air cylinder 141 is unchanged, the first guide rod cooperates with the first guide seat 142 to keep the movement direction of the first force applying top plate 144 from being deviated, and the gear shifting force receiving process is simulated; the knob of the selected gear shifting actuator returns the first gear shifting knob 231, the first gear shifting knob 231 drives the first gear shifting shaft 241 to move in the direction of the second load force applying assembly, and stops moving when the first gear shifting shaft 241 returns to the original position, the piston rod end 141a of the first air cylinder 141 pushes the first force applying top plate 144 to move in the direction of the second load force applying assembly, the first guide rod 143 stops moving when the first limiting plate 145 contacts the first guide seat 142, the first force applying top plate 144 simultaneously stops moving, and a single cycle of strength test is completed; the knob of the selected gear shifting actuator repeatedly selects gears and actuates different gear shifting knobs 230 to realize the gear selection-gear shifting-gear selection cycle test and comprehensively examine the durability and strength performance of the actuator.

[0043] In the high and low temperature test, the adjusting valve 110 and the gas tank 120 can be placed outside the high and low temperature test cabinet, and the gas pressure is maintained stable by the gas connection. The external gas source is adjusted by the adjusting valve 110 through the first gas pipe 131, and then is sent to the gas tank 120 for pressure stabilization, and then is sent to the load force applying assembly through the second gas pipe 132, so that the load output force required by the load mechanism is provided, the load output force is constant under extreme conditions, the application boundary of the test bench is expanded, the key test means for the environmental performance research and optimization design of the actuator is provided, and the complex working condition test demand of the automobile parts is met.
