Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power assist testing technology, and in particular to a testing fixture for a clutch power assist. Background Technology

[0002] A brake booster is a component that uses vacuum or negative pressure to increase the force applied to the pedal by the driver. It is an important component of the vehicle braking system and a key actuator in the automotive hydraulic servo braking system. Its main function is to amplify the pedal force applied by the driver during braking by a certain proportion, making the vehicle braking control easier and more reliable. It can effectively reduce the intensity of the force applied by the driver during braking. Before a vacuum booster is put into use, the input-output force characteristic curve of the vacuum booster needs to be tested in order to intuitively reflect the performance parameters of the vacuum booster.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent CN220063408U discloses a vacuum booster performance testing device. This device uses the smooth pushing of a slider to ensure accurate measurement of the preload force of the push rod by a force sensor. Simultaneously, the input stroke can be precisely controlled through the cooperation of a drive motor and a lead screw, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement data. However, this structure still has the following significant drawbacks:

[0004] During long-term use, the lead screw and lead screw nut are prone to wear, which can lead to gaps between them. This can cause the slider to run unevenly and reduce the accuracy of the test. Summary of the Invention

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0025] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details a test fixture for a clutch booster provided in this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a test fixture for a clutch booster, including a base 1, a guide rail 2, a slider 3, a vertical plate 4, and a force sensor 5; a reset device 41 is provided on the vertical plate 4, and an mounting plate 7 is fixedly installed on the base 1. An electric cylinder 8 and a pair of auxiliary cylinders 9 are fixedly installed on the mounting plate 7. The electric cylinder 8 can push the slider 3 to slide, and the pair of auxiliary cylinders 9 can assist the electric cylinder 8 in pushing, so that the slider 3 can slide more stably.

[0028] Furthermore, a top plate 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 3, and the electric cylinder 8 and a pair of auxiliary cylinders 9 are fixedly installed on the end of the mounting plate 7 facing away from the vertical plate 4. The output shaft of the electric cylinder 8 presses against the center of the end of the top plate 10 facing away from the vertical plate 4, and the output shafts of the pair of auxiliary cylinders 9 press against the two sides of the end of the top plate 10 facing away from the vertical plate 4, respectively; wherein, the pair of auxiliary cylinders 9 are symmetrical about the electric cylinder 8.

[0029] Furthermore, the reset device 41 includes a pair of top plate guide posts 411 and a pair of springs 412. The top plate 10 is provided with a pair of sliding holes 101. The pair of top plate guide posts 411 are fixedly installed on the vertical plate 4 and are slidably installed in the corresponding sliding holes 101. Each of the pair of top plate guide posts 411 is fitted with a spring 412. One end of each pair of springs 412 abuts against the vertical plate 4, and the other end abuts against the top plate 10.

[0030] In this embodiment of the application, due to the aforementioned structure, a pair of parallel guide rails 2 and a vertical plate 4 are provided on the base 1. Slider 3 is slidably mounted on each of the guide rails 2. The top plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the top of the pair of sliders 3. A force sensor 5 is fixedly mounted on the end of the top plate 10 facing the vertical plate 4. During testing, the booster is first installed on the end of the vertical plate 4 facing away from the top plate 10, with the push rod on the booster passing through a hole in the vertical plate 4. Then, by activating the electric cylinder 8, the output shaft of the electric cylinder 8 pushes the top plate 10 and the pair of sliders 3 to slide smoothly, causing the force sensor to... 5. Push the push rod of the booster and record the data. At the same time as starting the electric cylinder 8, a pair of auxiliary cylinders 9 are started. The output shaft stroke of the pair of auxiliary cylinders 9 is the same as that of the electric cylinder 8. The output shaft of the pair of auxiliary cylinders 9 will push the two sides of the top plate 10 opposite to the vertical plate 4, providing an additional thrust. This can keep the top plate 10 in a balanced state at all times, reduce the various external forces that interfere with it during the movement, and make the slider 3 slide more stably throughout the operation, reducing its shaking and deviation, thereby ensuring more accurate test data.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, the top plate 10 is provided with an oil storage tank 1111 and an oil filling port 112. The oil storage tank 1111 is connected to the oil filling port 112 through an oil inlet channel 113. The oil storage tank 1111 is connected to a pair of sliding holes 101 through an oil outlet channel 114. A connecting component 116 is provided in the oil outlet channel 114. When the connecting component 116 is in the open state, the lubricating oil stored in the oil storage tank 1111 can be pushed into the pair of sliding holes 101 through the oil supply component 117. The oil supply component 117 can be reset by the reset component 115.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting component 116 includes a rotating motor 121 and a cylindrical rotating block 122 provided with a connecting oil groove 124. A cylindrical groove 123 is provided at the oil outlet channel 114. The cylindrical rotating block 122 is rotatably installed in the cylindrical groove 123. The rotating motor 121 is fixedly installed on the top plate 10. The output shaft of the rotating motor 121 is fixedly connected to the center of the cylindrical rotating block 122.

[0034] Furthermore, the oil supply assembly 117 includes a pressing spring 131, an oil supply block 132, and a connecting column 133. The top plate 10 is provided with a sliding groove 134 that communicates with the oil storage tank 1111. One end of the connecting column 133 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 134, and the other end is fixedly connected to the oil supply block 132. The oil supply block 132 is slidably installed in the oil storage tank 111. The connecting column 133 is fitted with a pressing spring 131. One end of the pressing spring 131 abuts against the oil storage tank 1111, and the other end abuts against the oil supply block 132.

[0035] Furthermore, the reset assembly 115 includes a magnetic block 141, a pressing block 142, and a reset spring 145. A reset groove 143 is provided on the top plate 10. The magnetic block 141 is slidably installed in the reset groove 143. The pressing block 142 is fixedly connected to the top of the magnetic block 141. The pressing block 142 extends out of the top plate 10 through a connecting groove 144. One end of the reset spring 145 presses against the bottom end of the magnetic block 141, and the other end presses against the reset groove 143. The magnetic block 141 can attract the oil supply block 132 to slide upward.

[0036] Furthermore, a silicone layer 135 is provided on the side of the oil supply block 132.

[0037] Furthermore, the top plate 10 is made of stainless steel, and the oil supply block 132 is made of iron.

[0038] Furthermore, the top plate 10 is provided with an observation window 15, which is used to determine whether the oil storage tank 111 needs to be refilled with lubricating oil.

[0039] In this embodiment of the application, due to the above-described structure, when the electric cylinder 8 is started, a pair of rotating motors 121 are started, driving the corresponding cylindrical rotating blocks 122 to rotate, so that the oil storage tank 1111 and a pair of sliding holes 101 are temporarily connected through the connecting oil tank 124. At this time, under the action of the pressing spring 131, the oil supply block 132 will drive the connecting column 133 to slide downward together, and push the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 1111, so that the lubricating oil comes to the pair of sliding holes 101 through the oil outlet channel 114, and lubricates the pair of top plate guide columns 411. This can reduce the jamming caused by friction, ensure that the top plate 10 remains stable during the movement, and thus ensure that the test data is more accurate.

[0040] When the test ends, the output shafts of the electric cylinder 8 and a pair of auxiliary cylinders 91 are reset, the top plate 10 is reset under the force of the spring 412, a pair of rotating motors 121 are started, driving the corresponding cylindrical rotating blocks 122 to rotate, so that the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir 1111 cannot reach the pair of sliding holes 101 through the connecting oil groove 124.

[0041] The observation window 15 allows operators to easily observe the lubricating oil level in the oil reservoir 1111. When lubricating oil needs to be added again, pressing the pressing block 142 will push the magnetic block 141 downwards and compress the return spring 145. Since the oil supply block 132 is made of iron, the magnetic block 141 will generate an attractive force on the oil supply block 132, causing it to slide upwards. The bottom of the oil supply block 132 is higher than the connection between the oil inlet channel 113 and the oil reservoir 1111. Spring 131, then add lubricating oil by opening the oil filling port 112. When the lubricating oil level is 1cm below the connection between the oil inlet channel 113 and the oil reservoir 1111, stop adding oil and close the oil filling port 112. Then release the pressing block 142. Under the action of the reset spring 145, the pressing block 142 and the magnetic block 141 are reset. At this time, the magnetic block 141 has too little attraction to the oil supply block 132. Under the action of the pressing spring 131, the bottom end of the oil supply block 132 is pressed against the lubricating oil surface again.

[0042] A silicone layer 135 is provided on the side of the oil supply block 132, which can prevent lubricating oil from flowing out during the extrusion process;

[0043] The top plate 10 is made of stainless steel, a hard and non-magnetic metal alloy, so that the top plate 10 will not interfere with the sliding of the magnet 141.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
