[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a device for testing a shock absorber, comprising a test bench 1 and a shock absorber body 11. The lower end of the test bench 1 is provided with a first motor 2, the output end of the first motor 2 is provided with a first rotating shaft passing through the test bench 1, the top end of the first rotating shaft is provided with a top block 3, and two clamping components are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the top block 3.
[0024] The clamping assembly includes a clamping frame 4, a second motor 5, and two clamping plates 9. The two clamping plates 9 clamp the shock absorber body 11 within the clamping frame 4. The outer end of each clamping plate 9 is provided with a bent rod 8 that penetrates the clamping frame 4. The outer end of the bent rod 8 is provided with a moving block 10. The second motor 5 is fixed to one side of the clamping frame 4. The output end of the second motor 5 is provided with a second rotating shaft 6. Two screws 7 with reverse thread structure are symmetrically arranged on the second rotating shaft 6, and the two screws 7 respectively penetrate the two moving blocks 10.
[0025] The test bench 1 is provided with a fixed frame 12 and a crossbar 17 above it. Two vertical bars 16 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the fixed frame 12. The two ends of the crossbar 17 are penetrated by the vertical bars 16. The lower end of the crossbar 17 is provided with a pressure plate 18. A sliding groove 19 is provided on one side of the crossbar 17. The upper end of the fixed frame 12 is provided with a detection motor 13. The output end of the detection motor 13 is provided with a disc 14. The periphery of the disc 14 is provided with a drive rod 15 that slides with the sliding groove 19.
[0026] Shock absorber clamping and fixing: The second motor 5 is started, and the second rotating shaft 6 at its output end drives the two screws 7 to rotate. Because the screws 7 have a reverse thread structure, when the screws 7 rotate, the two moving blocks 10, which are respectively inserted through different screws 7, will move in opposite directions due to the action of the threads. The moving blocks 10 are connected to the clamping plates 9 through the bent rods 8, so the movement of the moving blocks 10 will drive the bent rods 8, thereby causing the two clamping plates 9 to move towards or away from each other within the clamping frame 4. When it is necessary to fix the shock absorber body 11, the two clamping plates 9 move towards each other until the shock absorber body 11 placed in the clamping frame 4 is firmly clamped.
[0027] Fatigue testing execution: The testing motor 13 is connected to the designated testing equipment, which records the number of rotations of the disc 14. The testing motor 13 is started, and the disc 14 at the motor output end begins to rotate. The drive rod 15 on the periphery of the disc 14 slides in conjunction with the groove 19 on one side of the crossbar 17. As the disc 14 rotates, the drive rod 15 reciprocates within the groove 19. Because the crossbar 17 is pierced by the vertical rod 16 at both ends, and the lower end of the crossbar 17 is connected to the pressure plate 18, the reciprocating sliding of the drive rod 15 within the groove 19 causes the crossbar 17 to move up and down along the vertical rod 16, thereby causing the pressure plate 18 to reciprocate. During the lifting and lowering process, the pressure plate 18 continuously presses down on the shock absorber body 11 located below. Through multiple pressing operations, fatigue testing of the shock absorber body 11 is achieved.
[0028] Alternating detection switching: After one of the clamped shock absorber bodies 11 completes the detection, the first motor 2 is started. The first shaft at the output end of the first motor 2 rotates. Since the top block 3 is fixed to the top of the first shaft with screws, the top block 3 will rotate with the first shaft. After the first shaft drives the top block 3 to rotate 180 degrees, the other clamping component, which was originally located on one side, will move to the detection position below the pressure plate 18. At this time, the other shock absorber body 11 can be detected without reloading and reloading, thus improving detection efficiency.
[0029] By setting up two clamping components and a rotatable top block 3, after one shock absorber body 11 is tested, the first motor 2 is started to rotate the top block 3 180 degrees, which can quickly test the other shock absorber body 11. This avoids the tedious steps of unloading and reloading after each test in the traditional method, greatly saving time and improving the testing efficiency of shock absorbers.
[0030] The clamping assembly employs a second motor 5 to drive a screw 7 with a reverse thread structure, which can precisely control the movement of the two clamping plates 9, so that they can stably clamp the shock absorber body 11, ensuring that the shock absorber will not shake or shift during the testing process, thus ensuring the accuracy of the test results.
[0031] In this embodiment, the top block 3 is fixed to the top of the first rotating shaft by screws.
[0032] Easy to assemble and maintain: The top block 3 is fixed to the top of the first rotating shaft with screws. This connection method is simple and convenient. Whether it is the assembly of the top block 3 during the installation of the device, or the repair or replacement of the top block 3 in the later stage, it can be easily operated, reducing the difficulty of assembly and maintenance of the device.
[0033] In this embodiment, both the drive rod 15 and the vertical rod 16 are cylindrical structures.
[0034] Optimized component structure: Both the drive rod 15 and the vertical rod 16 are cylindrical structures. During the sliding and support process, the cylindrical structure has relatively small friction and smoother movement, which can ensure the stability of the pressure plate 18 during the lifting process, reduce jamming, and thus improve the stability and reliability of the detection process.
[0035] In this embodiment, a buffer pad is provided at the lower end of the pressure plate 18.
[0036] Protecting the shock absorber: A buffer pad is provided at the lower end of the pressure plate 18. When the pressure plate 18 presses down on the shock absorber body 11, the buffer pad can play a buffering role, avoiding direct hard contact between the pressure plate 18 and the shock absorber body 11, which would cause damage to the surface of the shock absorber. This ensures the service life of the shock absorber and makes the test results more reflective of the true performance of the shock absorber in actual use.
[0037] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the shock absorber body 11 contacts the surface of the test bench 1.
[0038] In this embodiment, the first motor 2, the second motor 5, and the detection motor 13 are all servo motors.
[0039] Precise motor control: The first motor 2, the second motor 5, and the detection motor 13 are all servo motors, which have precise speed and position control capabilities. In this device, it can precisely control the rotation angle of the first rotating shaft to ensure that the top block 3 rotates accurately 180 degrees; precisely control the rotation of the screw 7 of the second motor 5 to achieve precise clamping of the shock absorber by the clamping plate 9; and precisely control the number of rotations of the disc 14 of the detection motor 13 to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the detection and meet the high-precision requirements for fatigue testing of the shock absorber.
