[0004] Poor reliability of buffering mechanisms: Traditional mechanical buffering systems (such as springs or hydraulic buffers) have problems such as slow response speed (millisecond-level delay) and severe mechanical wear (performance degradation of more than 30% after long-term use), making it difficult to absorb high-energy impacts and easily leading to equipment damage or test data distortion. In view of this, in-depth research was conducted on the above problems, which led to this case. Summary of the Invention

[0011] This utility model provides an impact testing structure for axle housings of new energy vehicles. It offers the following advantages: This impact testing structure for axle housings of new energy vehicles adopts a horizontal-vertical dual-axis drive architecture. The horizontal angle drive motor drives the angle cylindrical block to achieve horizontal rotation, while the vertical angle drive motor drives the telescopic cylindrical block to complete vertical swinging through gear meshing. Combined with the angle ball of the ball joint structure and the connecting flange for fixation, it can accurately simulate the spatial posture of the axle under complex working conditions.

[0016] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further. Example

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 Existing equipment mostly adopts fixed or single-axis adjustment structures, which cannot achieve precise adjustment of spatial attitude (such as multi-directional rotation of ±30° horizontally and ±25° vertically), making it difficult to simulate real collision scenarios under complex working conditions, resulting in test results being out of sync with actual use scenarios; its mechanical buffering system (such as spring or hydraulic buffer) has a slow response speed (millisecond-level delay) and severe mechanical wear (performance degradation of more than 30% after long-term use), making it difficult to absorb high-energy impacts, which can easily cause equipment damage or data distortion; the collision detection process relies on manual measurement or low-precision articulated arm scanners;

[0019] Therefore, this application protects an impact test structure for a new energy vehicle axle housing. The axle is bolted to a pair of connecting flanges 20. A horizontal adjustment screw module is used to adjust the position of an electromagnetic impactor, which then electromagnetically impacts the axle housing. When the axle housing deforms, it drives the connecting flanges 20, which in turn drive the angle ball 19, causing it to rotate along the inner side of the spherical groove. A limiting electromagnet inside the spherical groove magnetically limits the angle rotation (using a magnetic levitation limiting system). When the connecting flanges 20 and the angle ball 19 drive the telescopic cylindrical block 15, the kinetic energy is transmitted sequentially, causing the auxiliary support block 9 to drive the buffer disc 12. The buffer disc 12 then drives the fan-shaped slider 13, which in turn buffers the magnetic field between the fan-shaped slider 13 and the buffer fan-shaped groove 11, thus preventing impact. The deformation and tensile testing limit device generated by the impact can operate according to the horizontal angle drive motor 6 inside the drive groove 4, which drives the horizontal angle gear 8 on the drive end to rotate. The horizontal angle gear 8 drives the horizontal angle gear groove 7 that meshes with it, which drives the angle cylindrical block 5 on it. The angle cylindrical block 5 drives the device on it, thereby changing the angle between the axle housing and the electromagnetic impactor. At the same time, it can operate through the vertical angle drive motor 16, which drives the vertical angle gear 17 on the drive end of the vertical angle drive motor 16 to rotate. The vertical angle gear 17 drives the sleeve ring gear groove 18 that meshes with it, which drives the telescopic cylindrical block 15 on it. This causes the telescopic cylindrical block 15 to rotate vertically along the inner side of the angle cylindrical tube 14, thereby adjusting the vertical angle of the axle housing and performing multi-angle impact detection on the axle housing. At the same time, it can operate through the scanning screw module, which drives the scanning camera on it to detect the axle housing.

[0020] Furthermore, the angle cylindrical block 5 is installed in the cylindrical groove of the test bench 1 via bearings. The groove 7 of the horizontal angle gear 8 on its outer side meshes with the horizontal angle gear 8 driven by the horizontal angle drive motor 6 to achieve horizontal rotation adjustment. The auxiliary support block 9 is connected to the angle cylindrical block 5 via the buffer disk 12. The fan-shaped slider 13 of the buffer disk 12 slides along the buffer fan-shaped groove 11, and works with the buffer magnet to achieve impact buffering. The angle cylindrical tube 14 is equipped with a telescopic cylindrical block 15. The groove of the vertical angle gear 17 on its outer side meshes with the vertical angle gear 17 driven by the vertical angle drive motor 16. The angle ball 19 is rotated through the groove 18 of the sleeve ring gear, and the connecting flange 20 fixes both ends of the axle. The horizontal adjustment screw module is equipped with an electromagnetic impactor, which can accurately locate the impact point and simulate impacts in different directions. The scanning screw module on the test bracket 2 drives the scanning camera to capture the axle housing deformation data in real time.

[0021] In summary, the axle is bolted to the connecting flange 20. The horizontal angle drive 6 drives the angle cylindrical block 5 to rotate horizontally, and the vertical angle drive 16 drives the telescopic cylindrical block 15 to rotate vertically, thus adjusting the axle's spatial posture. The horizontal adjustment screw module adjusts the electromagnetic impactor to the target position, generating instantaneous impact force through pulsed electromagnetic drive to simulate a collision scenario. When the axle deforms, the angle ball 19 rotates along the spherical arc groove, and the limiting electromagnet and the limiting magnet form a dynamic balance through magnetic repulsion, absorbing the impact energy. The magnetic array of the buffer sector groove 11 and the sector slider 13 further disperses stress. The scanning screw module drives a high-precision 3D scanner to automatically acquire the full-size data of the axle housing.

[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
