[0016] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0017] This application discloses a test platform for a coupler, including a workbench 1. The upper surface of the workbench 1 is provided with grooves 2 around its perimeter. Each groove 2 is provided with a pressure plate 3. The pressure plate 3 is U-shaped at the position above the groove 2. A moving mechanism is provided at the position below the groove 2 of the pressure plate 3. The moving mechanism can drive the pressure plate 3 to move along the groove 2. Detection connection mechanisms are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the workbench 1.

[0018] In this embodiment, the coupler to be tested is placed at the center of the upper surface of the workbench 1. The moving mechanism drives the pressure plate 3 to move synchronously and press against the four sides of the coupler to fix the coupler. In this application, the lengths of each slide 2 are equal and the initial positions of the pressure plate 3 relative to the slide 2 are the same, which is suitable for clamping regular quadrilateral couplers of different sizes.

[0019] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes two sets of fixed plates 8 fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the workbench 1. The two sets of fixed plates 8 are located on both sides of the slide groove 2. Guide rods 9 are fixedly connected between the two sets of fixed plates 8. The guide rods 9 pass through the pressure plate 3 and slide with it. Springs 10 are sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rods 9. One end of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 3, and the other end of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 8. Pull ropes 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 3. A traction mechanism is provided at the center of the lower surface of the workbench 1. The traction mechanism is used to pull the pull ropes 11.

[0020] Furthermore, the traction mechanism includes an electric push rod 13 fixedly installed at the center of the lower surface of the workbench 1. The electric push rod 13 is vertically arranged, and a movable plate 14 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 13. All pull ropes 11 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 14. All fixed plates 8 near the bottom of the electric push rod 13 are fixedly connected to collars 12, and the pull ropes 11 pass through the corresponding collars 12.

[0021] Furthermore, when the spring 10 is not subjected to external force, the pressure plate 3 is away from the electric push rod 13, and the pull rope 11 is taut.

[0022] In this embodiment, the coupler is placed at the center of the upper surface of the workbench 1. The electric push rod 13 is driven to extend, pulling the pull rope 11 to move, thereby driving the pressure plate 3 to move along the slide groove 2 until the pressure plate 3 abuts against the surface of the coupler. During this process, the spring 10 is compressed. After the test is completed, the electric push rod 13 is driven to move upward, the compressed spring 10 is reset, and the pressure plate 3 is reset. The pressure plate 3 no longer abuts against the coupler, and the tester can remove the coupler.

[0023] Furthermore, the testing connection mechanism includes testing boxes 4 fixedly installed on both sides of the workbench 1, with connectors 5 inserted into the top of the testing boxes 4, and cables 6 electrically connected between the connectors 5 and the testing boxes 4.

[0024] In this embodiment, the test box 4 is equipped with a test power supply, which is powered by the cable 6 connector 5. The connector 5 is matched with the coupler interface. During the test, the connector 5 only needs to be inserted into the coupler interface to provide power to the coupler, so as to test the various performance of the coupler.

[0025] It should be noted that the electric actuator 13, the detection power supply, and the coupler are all existing conventional electrical structures, and their structures and working principles will not be described in detail here. The model of the electric actuator 13, the detection power supply, and the coupler is not required.
