Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of anti-collision beam testing equipment, and in particular to an anti-collision beam strength testing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive crash beams are mainly installed at the front of the vehicle, usually inside the front bumper, and connected to the vehicle's longitudinal beams to form a robust frame. By enhancing the overall structural strength of the front of the vehicle, they play a vital role in protecting passengers and internal components, thus contributing significantly to overall vehicle safety. To study the actual performance of crash beams in different collision scenarios, extensive crash tests are required using crash beam strength testing equipment. However, existing crash beam strength testing equipment suffers from inflexible control when simulating collision speeds in real-world environments during crash tests.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN218382025U discloses a bracket and impact testing device for anti-collision beam testing. The anti-collision beam testing bracket includes two symmetrically arranged bracket bodies. Although this solution solves the problem of low utilization rate caused by deformation or damage of the support components after the test when conducting dynamic drop hammer impact tests on anti-collision beams, the collision speed at the moment of impact depends on the height of the drop hammer when the buckle is released. That is, after the drop hammer falls, the hammer head undergoes free fall motion, accelerates after falling a certain distance, and then collides with the anti-collision beam. The speed of free fall motion at this time is the simulated collision speed. Therefore, when it is necessary to simulate a higher speed collision test, this solution must suspend the drop hammer at a higher height, which may lead to the problem of the test equipment occupying a large space. Obviously, this collision speed design method has inherent defects and is difficult to control flexibly. Based on this, an anti-collision beam strength testing device is proposed.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please combine Figure 1 - Figure 5 This embodiment of a crash beam strength testing device includes a base 1, with fixed plates 3 fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1, and a load-bearing plate fixedly connected between the two fixed plates 3. A limit sleeve 8 is installed on one side of the load-bearing plate, and a groove is formed on the inner side of the limit sleeve 8. A punch 14 is slidably connected to the inner side of the groove, and a push ball 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the punch 14 away from the limit sleeve 8. In this embodiment, four sliding rods 5 are fixedly connected between the two fixed plates 3, and a moving platform 10 is slidably connected to the four sliding rods 5. A wedge-shaped push block 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving platform 10 near the push ball 7. The wedge-shaped push block 11 is configured to cooperate with the push ball 7. A push bar limiting mechanism is provided on the outer side of the punch bar 14. A moving platform driving mechanism is provided on one side of the fixed plate 3. An elastic reset mechanism is provided on one side of the push ball 7. A hammer body connecting mechanism is provided at the end of the punch bar 14 away from the fixed plate 3. A punch hammer 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the hammer body connecting mechanism. An anti-collision beam mounting mechanism is provided on the upper side of the base 1. An industrial control module 4 is installed on the outer side of one of the fixed plates 3.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the wedge-shaped pusher 11, which moves at high speed to one side, collides with the pusher ball 7, giving the pusher ball 7 momentum.

[0027] Please combine Figure 4 As shown, the punch limit mechanism includes a limit slide groove 15 opened on the inner side of the culvert, and a locking block 19 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limit slide groove 15. The locking block 19 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the punch 14.

[0028] The locking block 19 limits the movement of the punch rod 14 within the limiting groove 15, preventing it from rotating when it moves to one side.

[0029] Please combine Figure 2 As shown, the moving stage drive mechanism includes a servo motor 12 fixedly connected to the outside of one of the fixed plates 3, a lead screw 6 rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 3, the lead screw 6 being threadedly connected to the moving stage 10, and the output end of the servo motor 12 passing through the fixed plate 3 and fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 6.

[0030] With the above technical solution, when the lead screw 6 rotates forward, the moving platform 10 moves to one side at high speed under the limit of the slide bar 5. Conversely, when the lead screw 6 rotates in reverse, the moving platform 10 moves in the opposite direction along the slide bar 5. In this way, multiple collisions can be achieved continuously and without interruption according to different collision requirements.

[0031] Please combine Figure 2As shown, the elastic reset mechanism includes a reset spring 16 sleeved on the outside of the punch 14. One end of the reset spring 16 is fixedly connected to the push ball 7, and the other end of the reset spring 16 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 3.

[0032] With the above technical solution, when the punch rod 14 is pushed to one side, that is, when a collision occurs, the return spring 16 is deformed and compressed. After the collision ends, the punch rod 14 moves in the opposite direction under the rebound action of the return spring 16, thus achieving reset.

[0033] Please combine Figure 4 As shown, the hammer body connecting mechanism includes a groove 21 opened at the end of the punch rod 14 away from the push ball 7. A rib 20 is inserted into the inner side of the groove 21. By setting the groove 21, the rib 20 can be quickly inserted and removed to replace different types of punch hammers 9, which is convenient for experimental personnel to replace. The rib 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the punch hammer 9. A positioning bolt 13 is threaded on the outer side of the punch rod 14. One end of the positioning bolt 13 abuts against the outer side of the rib 20.

[0034] Please combine Figure 1 As shown, the anti-collision beam mounting mechanism includes two mounting supports 2 fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 1. Each mounting support 2 is provided with multiple bolts for connecting to the anti-collision beam.

[0035] Multiple mounting brackets 2 work together to facilitate quick assembly with the anti-collision beam.

[0036] Please combine Figure 3 As shown, a speed measuring instrument 17 is installed on the outside of the limiting sleeve 8. The speed measuring instrument 17 is electrically connected to the industrial control module 4. The speed measuring instrument 17 can record the speed of the impact hammer 9 when it collides.

[0037] Please combine Figure 4 As shown, a pressure sensor 18 is installed on the inner side of the punch 9. The pressure sensor 18 is electrically connected to the industrial control module 4. The impact force generated when the punch 9 collides can be recorded through the pressure sensor 18, which is convenient for statistical analysis in the background.

[0038] The implementation principle of the anti-collision beam strength testing device in this application embodiment is as follows: the anti-collision beam to be tested is fixed on the mounting supports 2 on both sides by bolts, and then the servo motor 12 is started, and the lead screw 6 rotates at high speed, pushing the moving table 10 to one side. At this time, the wedge-shaped push block 11 moving together collides at high speed with the push ball 7, squeezing and pushing the push ball 7 to one side at high speed. Under the limiting action of the limiting sleeve 8, the punch 14 drives the punch hammer 9 to collide with the anti-collision beam to one side, thus realizing the collision simulation experiment.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
