Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle door hinge strength testing technology, and in particular to a vehicle door hinge strength testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Door hinges are hidden components that enable the opening and closing of car doors. They are crucial retaining components of the entire door system and also safety components. Currently, hinges are mainly divided into steel hinges, stamped hinges, and forged hinges. They are essential functional components for enabling the opening and closing of car doors; at the same time, they are also safety components of the entire vehicle and are closely related to the vehicle's collision performance. Regulations require that during a collision, the car doors remain closed and locked; after a collision, the car doors should be able to open. Because of the important role of door hinges in vehicle safety, strength testing of door hinges is necessary.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent CN219625031U discloses a door hinge strength testing device, including a base with a fixing bracket fixedly connected to the upper left side of the base. This door hinge strength testing device utilizes a drive motor to drive a drive gear, which moves along a transmission rack, thereby causing movement on the right side of the car door body to simulate the opening and closing of the door and test the hinge's opening and closing. However, the drive gear in this device bears the weight of the car door body, making it impossible for the hinge to support the full weight of the door body, thus affecting the device's testing accuracy.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automotive door hinge strength testing device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, an elastic rubber sleeve is fixedly installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the drive rod.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a placement opening is provided in the middle of the simulated car door, and a placement rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner wall of the placement opening, with a weight plate inserted into the placement rod.
[0011] This utility model provides a vehicle door hinge strength testing device, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0012] 1. This utility model uses a starting motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the crank block to rotate. Under the action of the connecting plate, the swing plate is driven to swing back and forth. The device drives the simulated car door to swing back and forth through the back and forth swing of the swing plate, thereby simulating the opening and closing action of a car door. The device tests the connection strength of the test hinge through a large number of repeated opening and closing actions. At the same time, when the device is in use, the test hinge can bear the entire weight of the simulated car door, thereby increasing the accuracy of the test results.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution for a car door hinge strength testing device: it includes a connecting base plate 100, a support column 110 fixedly installed on the upper side of the outer wall of the connecting base plate 100, an installation groove 120 opened on the front side of the outer wall of the support column 110, a simulated car door 200 rotatably installed on the left side of the outer wall of the installation groove 120, an installation block 300 fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the support column 110, a rotating shaft 310 fixedly installed on the upper end of the outer wall of the installation block 300, and a swing plate 32 rotatably connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 310. A drive rod 330 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the swing plate 320. A connector 340 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the simulated car door 200. The connector 340 is inserted into the lower end of the outer wall of the drive rod 330. A test hinge 1 is fixedly installed between the mounting groove 120 and the simulated car door 200. The rotation axis of the pivot 310 coincides with the rotation axis of the test hinge 1, so that when the pivot 310 rotates, it can drive the swing plate 320 and the drive rod 330 to rotate, thereby driving the simulated car door 200 to rotate. The device drives the simulated car door 200 to swing back and forth by the reciprocating swing of the swing plate 320, thereby simulating the opening and closing action of a car door. The connection strength of the test hinge 1 is tested by a large number of repeated opening and closing actions. A placement groove 400 is provided on the upper end of the outer wall of the support column 110. A motor 410 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the inner wall of the placement groove 400. A rotating shaft 420 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 410. A crank block 430 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 420. A rotating shaft 440 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the crank block 430. A connecting plate 450 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 440. A rotating shaft 460 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the connecting plate 450. The lower end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 460 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the swing plate 320. The device drives the rotating shaft 420 to rotate by starting the motor 410, thereby driving the crank block 430 to rotate, and then driving the swing plate 320 to reciprocate under the action of the connecting plate 450. An elastic rubber sleeve 350 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the drive rod 330. The elastic rubber sleeve 350 can buffer the drive rod 330 and the plug-in seat 340.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a placement opening 500 is provided in the middle of the simulated car door 200. A placement rod 510 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner wall of the placement opening 500. A weight plate 520 is inserted into the placement rod 510. Personnel can insert the weight plate 520 into the placement rod 510, thereby applying a load to the simulated car door 200. The magnitude of the applied load can be changed by changing the number of weight plates 520 inserted.
[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the operator first installs the test hinge 1 between the mounting slot 120 and the simulated car door 200. The device starts the motor 410, which drives the rotating shaft 420 to rotate, thereby rotating the crank block 430. Under the action of the connecting plate 450, the swing plate 320 reciprocates. The reciprocating motion of the swing plate 320 drives the simulated car door 200 to reciprocate, simulating the opening and closing action of a car door. The connection strength of the test hinge 1 is tested through numerous repeated opening and closing actions. Simultaneously, the operator can insert weight pans 520 onto the placement rod 510 to apply a load to the simulated car door 200. The applied load can be changed by altering the number of weight pans 520 inserted.
[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
