Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Depend on Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This invention discloses a special testing machine for measuring the friction force of vehicle shock absorbers. A fixed base 101 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top wall of the test bench 100, facilitating the fixation of the left-side connecting mechanism 103. A movable base 102 is slidably connected to the right side of the top wall of the test bench 100, facilitating the movement of the right-side connecting mechanism 103. Connecting mechanisms 103 are fixedly connected to opposite ends of the fixed base 101 and the movable base 102. Each connecting mechanism 103 includes a connecting frame 104, which supports a fixed rod 105. The top wall of the connecting frame 104 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 105, which supports a double-ended screw 106. The fixed rod 105 is hollow. The upper and lower sidewalls of the inner cavity of the fixed rod 105 are rotatably connected to a double-ended screw 106. The top end of the double-ended screw 106 penetrates the top wall of the fixed rod 105 and is fitted with a hexagonal screw head. The double-ended screw 106 facilitates the movement of the upper and lower pushing blocks 107 in opposite directions. The upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the double-ended screw 106 are fixedly connected to the pushing blocks 107. The pushing blocks 107 facilitate the movement of the limiting blocks 108. The outer wall of the fixed rod 105 is evenly provided with moving grooves. The inner wall of each moving groove is slidably connected to the limiting blocks 108. The limiting blocks 108 facilitate the installation and fixation of the shock absorber. The opposite sidewalls of the two sets of pushing blocks 107 are inclined. The upper and lower sidewalls of the limiting blocks 108 match the upper and lower pushing blocks 107.

[0021] In this embodiment: the movable seat 102 is connected to the test actuator, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Then, the car shock absorber sleeve to be tested is placed outside the fixing rod 105. By rotating the double-ended screw 106, the two sets of pushing blocks 107 are driven to move towards each other. The two sets of pushing blocks 107 move towards each other, pushing the pushing blocks 107 to move. The moving pushing blocks 107 squeeze and clamp the inner wall of the car shock absorber sleeve connection hole. The pushing blocks 107 facilitate the limiting and fixing of connection holes with different hole diameters. Then, the test actuator is started to detect the friction force. This device can facilitate the installation and limiting of car shock absorbers with different hole diameters, and avoid the car shock absorber shifting during the test, which will affect the friction force data. This is beneficial to improving the practicality of the device.

[0022] Fixing rings 109 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the fixing rod 105. Pushing springs 110 are fixedly connected to the opposite side walls of the upper and lower fixing rings 109. The pushing springs 110 facilitate the movement of the pushing rings 111. Pushing rings 111 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the upper and lower pushing springs 110. The pushing rings 111 facilitate the movement of the limiting block 108. The upper and lower side walls of the limiting block 108 away from the axis of the fixing rod 105 are inclined.

[0023] In this embodiment: when the double-headed screw 106 is reversed, it drives the two sets of push blocks 107 to move in the opposite direction, so that the push blocks 107 release the push on the limiting block 108. The push ring 111 is pushed to move by the elastic force of the push spring 110, and the limiting block 108 is moved and reset by the push ring 111. This facilitates the subsequent placement of other shock absorbers for testing. The device can easily push the limiting block 108 to move and reset, which is convenient for the subsequent placement of other shock absorbers and helps to improve testing efficiency.

[0024] The upper and lower pushing rings 111 have evenly spaced pushing grooves on their opposite sidewalls, and the pushing grooves match the limiting block 108.

[0025] In this embodiment: by opening the push groove, it is convenient to limit and guide the movement of the push ring 111, avoid the push ring 111 from deflecting, and facilitate the push ring 111 to move up and down to squeeze the push spring 110.

[0026] The upper and lower side walls and left and right sides of the inner cavity of the fixed rod 105 are fixedly connected to the slide rod 112. The slide rod 112 facilitates the limiting and guiding of the movement of the push block 107. The push block 107 is located on the outer wall of the slide rod 112.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sliding rod 112 is provided to facilitate the limiting and guiding of the movement of the pushing block 107, prevent the pushing block 107 from deflecting, and facilitate the movement and clamping of the limiting block 108.

[0028] A sliding groove is provided on the right side of the top wall of the test bench 100, and the movable seat 102 is located in the inner cavity of the sliding groove.

[0029] In this embodiment, the sliding groove facilitates the limiting and guiding of the movement of the movable seat 102, preventing the movable seat 102 from deflecting, and allowing the movable seat 102 to translate for friction testing, which is beneficial to the practicality of the device.
