Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water tank strength testing technology, and in particular to a device for testing the strength of automotive water tanks. Background Technology

[0002] After being manufactured, automotive radiators undergo a series of tests, with strength testing being one such test category. The purpose of strength testing is to verify whether the automotive radiator can maintain its stability and prevent damage under external pressure, and to verify whether the automotive radiator can maintain stability during acceleration, deceleration, and collisions in actual use.

[0003] Currently, in the process of strength testing of car radiators, clamps are generally used to fix the car radiator. However, the stability of the clamp fixation is weak, which may affect the accuracy of the car radiator strength test and is not conducive to ensuring the long-term reliability of the car radiator.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vehicle radiator strength testing device to stably fix the vehicle radiator, which has become an important technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides an automotive radiator strength testing device, which aims to solve the problem that in the prior art, automotive radiators are generally fixed by clamps, but the stability of the clamps is weak, which may affect the accuracy of automotive radiator strength testing and is not conducive to ensuring the long-term reliability of automotive radiators.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes an automotive radiator strength testing device, comprising: a frame on which the automotive radiator is detachably mounted by fasteners; a pair of testing columns on which the two testing columns are disposed on the frame; a crossbar between the two testing columns; a testing drive on which the testing drive is disposed; and a testing head connected to the testing drive.

[0009] In some embodiments, the device further includes: a pad, a pad disposed between the lug and the mounting platform, and a fastener screw pad.

[0010] In some embodiments, the device further includes: an output rod, wherein the detection driver is provided with an output rod; and a connecting block, wherein the connecting block is disposed on the side of the detection head facing the detection driver, and the connecting block is screwed to the output rod.

[0011] In some embodiments, it further includes a locking nut, which is screwed onto the output rod and abuts against the connecting block.

[0012] This application proposes a vehicle radiator strength testing device, comprising: a frame on which the vehicle radiator is detachably mounted via fasteners; a pair of testing columns, both positioned on the frame; a crossbeam positioned between the two testing columns; a testing drive mounted on the crossbeam; and a testing head connected to the testing drive.

[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this application proposes an automotive radiator strength testing device, comprising: a frame 1, wherein an automotive radiator 3 is detachably mounted on the frame 1 by fasteners 11; a pair of testing columns 7, wherein the two testing columns 7 of the same pair are disposed on the frame 1; a crossbeam 5, wherein the crossbeam 5 is disposed between the two testing columns 7 of the same pair; a testing drive 6, wherein the testing drive 6 is disposed on the crossbeam 5; and a testing head 4, wherein the testing drive 6 is connected to the testing head 4.

[0023] The frame 1 is the structural foundation of an automotive radiator strength testing device. All other structures on the device are directly or indirectly connected to the frame 1. Fasteners 11 are screws or bolts. A pair of testing posts 7 are mounted on the frame 1, with the automotive radiator 3 positioned between the two testing posts 7. The crossbar 5 forms the structural foundation for the testing drive 6, which is a hydraulic cylinder. The frame 1 also houses a hydraulic station and control panel for driving the hydraulic cylinder and controlling the testing process. The testing head 4 is detachably mounted on the testing drive 6. Different testing heads 4 can be used for different radiator models and for different testing items.

[0024] Specifically, the car radiator 3 is securely installed onto the frame 1 using fasteners 11. At this time, the detection drive 6 drives the detection head 4 to impact the car radiator 3. Even after the detection head 4 contacts the car radiator 3, the detection drive 6 still outputs a certain pressure. Through the above steps, the stability of the car radiator 3 under impact force and a certain static pressure can be detected. The above detection steps can effectively remove inferior car radiators 3, ensuring that good car radiators 3 flow into subsequent production steps and improving the long-term reliability of the car radiator 3.

[0025] The frame 1, the testing column 7, and the crossbar 5 are made of corrosion-resistant alloys such as stainless steel, which have good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance, helping an automotive water tank strength testing device to adapt to various harsh operating environments.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the system further includes: a mounting platform 2, which is disposed on the frame 1; a plurality of mounting holes 14, which are spaced apart on the mounting platform 2; an ear seat 12 for the automotive radiator 3, which has a threaded hole; and a fastener 11 passing through the threaded hole on the ear seat 12 and extending into the mounting hole 14. The automotive radiator 3 is mounted onto the mounting platform 2 through the mounting holes 14 and the threaded hole on the ear seat 12, thereby indirectly mounting the automotive radiator 3 onto the frame 1. The mounting holes 14 have internal threads. The plurality of mounting holes 14 allows for the adaptation of different models of automotive radiators 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, a stepped hole is provided in the center of the mounting platform 2. The mounting platform 2 is installed on the frame 1 by countersunk bolts. Preferably, a rectangular positioning groove adapted to the mounting platform 2 is provided on the frame 1 to facilitate the installation of the mounting platform 2 and to prevent the mounting platform 2 from shifting during the testing process.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a pad 13, which is provided between the ear seat 12 and the mounting platform 2, and a fastener 11 screws the pad 13. The pad 13 creates a gap between the car radiator 3 and the mounting platform 2. In the actual installation process of the car radiator 3, it is generally installed on the car through the ear seat 12. By setting a gap between the car radiator 3 and the mounting platform 2, the strength of the ear seat 12 of the car radiator 3 can be effectively tested, and the working conditions of the car radiator 3 in actual use can be better simulated.

[0029] In this embodiment, the thickness of the pad 13 can be selected according to actual needs to adapt to different specifications of car water tanks 3.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a flexible layer is also included, disposed on the side of the detection head 4 away from the detection drive 6. The flexible layer is a rubber layer. When the detection head 4 experiences a strong impact with the car radiator 3, the flexible layer can effectively prevent a hard collision between the detection head 4 and the car radiator 3, thereby avoiding damage to the detection head 4 and the car radiator 3 and avoiding significant economic losses. However, since the flexible layer has a certain energy absorption effect, the impact force in the actual detection process should be higher than the preset impact force, and its safety factor is related to the thickness of the flexible layer.

[0031] In this embodiment, the thickness of the flexible layer is preferably 2cm. The flexible layer is provided with stepped holes, and screws are provided in the stepped holes. The flexible layer is installed on the detection head 4 by screws. In the actual detection process, the impact force should be multiplied by a safety factor of 1.1 to ensure the final detection accuracy.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: an output rod 10, the detection drive 6 is provided with an output rod 10; the output rod 10 is movably disposed within the detection drive 6; a connecting block 8 is disposed on the side of the detection head 4 facing the detection drive 6, and the connecting block 8 is screwed to the output rod 10. The connecting block 8 is integrally formed with the detection head 4, and the connecting block 8 is provided with a connecting hole for connecting the output rod 10, and the connecting hole is provided with an internal thread.

[0033] In some embodiments, the device further includes a locking nut 9, which is screwed onto the output rod 10 and abuts against the connecting block 8. The locking nut 9 uses friction to lock the position of the detection head 4, preventing the detection head 4 from shifting.

[0034] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of this application. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings under the overall concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
