Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thrust testing technology, and in particular to a test device for the thrust performance of an electric limiter. Background Technology
[0002] An electric door limiter is a device that uses a motor to overcome the weight of the door and the resistance of the hinges, allowing the door to open, stop, or close according to predetermined control requirements. With the increasing popularity of mid-to-large SUVs and MPVs, doors are becoming larger and heavier, resulting in greater force when opening and closing them, and a poor experience when opening and closing them on slopes. The electric door limiter has significantly improved the user's door opening and closing experience.
[0003] The electric limiter mainly consists of a motor, a planetary gearbox (or worm gear) for speed reduction and torque amplification, a trapezoidal lead screw and nut slider, and a push rod. Through reasonable matching and calculation of relevant system performance parameters, the maximum push-out force, pull-out force, and stall force of the electric limiter can be obtained. The stall force can be tested and evaluated using a tensile testing machine. However, the current practice for testing the push-out and pull-out forces of the electric limiter involves evaluating the push-out and pull-out forces on different slopes after a real vehicle has been produced. However, due to numerous influencing factors, such as the different forces required for different door opening angles due to the door's tilt angle, the initial theoretical calculations cannot be verified, resulting in a long development cycle for the electric limiter.

[0037] An electric door limiter is a device that uses a motor to overcome the weight of the door and the resistance of the hinges, allowing the door to open, stop, or close according to predetermined control requirements. With the increasing popularity of mid-to-large SUVs and MPVs, doors are becoming larger and heavier, resulting in greater force when opening and closing them, and a poor experience when opening and closing them on slopes. The electric door limiter has significantly improved the user's door opening and closing experience.
[0038] The electric limiter mainly consists of a motor, a planetary gearbox (or worm gear) for speed reduction and torque amplification, a trapezoidal lead screw and nut slider, and a push rod. Through reasonable matching and calculation of relevant system performance parameters, the maximum push-out force, pull-out force, and stall force of the electric limiter can be obtained. The stall force can be tested and evaluated using a tensile testing machine. However, the current practice for testing the push-out and pull-out forces of the electric limiter involves evaluating the push-out and pull-out forces on different slopes after a real vehicle has been produced. However, due to numerous influencing factors, such as the different forces required for different door opening angles due to the door's tilt angle, the initial theoretical calculations cannot be verified, resulting in a long development cycle for the electric limiter.
[0039] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model proposes a thrust performance testing device 100 for an electric limiter 200, including a frame 1, a fixing part 2, a guide part 3, a load-bearing part 4, and a counterweight assembly 5. The fixing part 2 is disposed on the frame 1 for fixing the electric limiter 200; the guide part 3 is disposed on the frame 1 and located on the periphery of the fixing part 2, and the guide part 3 extends upward; the load-bearing part 4 is movably disposed on the guide part 3 in a vertical direction; the counterweight assembly 5 includes a plurality of weights 51, at least one of the weights 51 being detachably mounted on the load-bearing part 4.
[0040] The technical solution of this utility model securely fixes the electric limiter 200 with the fixing part 2, preventing positional changes of the electric limiter 200 during the test, ensuring the stability and consistency of the test environment, and thus improving the accuracy of the test results. The guide part 3 provides precise guidance for the movement of the load part 4, reducing deviations and swaying during the movement of the load part 4, making the test process more controllable and further improving the reliability of the test results. The detachable design of the weights 51 in the counterweight assembly 5 allows for flexible adjustment of the weight of the load part 4 according to the performance characteristics and test requirements of different electric limiters 200. This means that the test device can adapt to the testing of various types and specifications of electric limiters 200, possessing strong versatility and flexibility. It can simulate different actual working load scenarios, comprehensively testing the thrust performance of the electric limiter 200 under various conditions, thereby providing richer and more accurate data support for the design, optimization, and quality evaluation of the electric limiter 200.
[0041] In one embodiment, the frame 1 includes a lower support 11 and an upper support 12, with the fixing part 2 disposed on the lower support 11. The upper support 12 is spaced apart from the lower support 11 to form a test space 13 between them, and the guide part 3 is erected in the test space 13. This arrangement divides the frame 1 into the lower support 11 and the upper support 12, providing a basic framework for the entire testing device. The lower support 11 serves as the mounting point for the fixing part 2, while the upper support 12, spaced apart from the lower support 11, forms the test space 13, creating space for the installation and testing of other components. By placing the fixing part 2 on the lower support 11, a stable mounting base for the electric limiter 200 is ensured during testing, preventing swaying or displacement and ensuring the stability of the testing environment. The guide part 3, erected in the test space 13, provides a clear guiding path for the vertical movement of the load-bearing part 4, enabling it to move along a predetermined direction and ensuring the accuracy of the testing process.
[0042] In one embodiment, multiple guide portions 3 are provided, surrounding the periphery of the frame 1. This arrangement, with multiple guide portions 3 distributed around the load-bearing part 4, provides support and guidance on all sides, preventing the load-bearing part 4 from tilting, swaying, or deviating from its predetermined trajectory during movement. For example, during testing, the thrust generated by the electric limiter 200 may subject the load-bearing part 4 to uneven forces. If only a single guide portion 3 is present, the load-bearing part 4 is prone to deviation; however, multiple guide portions 3 acting simultaneously from different directions effectively counteract the effects of these uneven forces, ensuring that the load-bearing part 4 always moves along the accurate vertical direction, thus improving the stability of the load-bearing part 4's movement during testing.
[0043] In one embodiment, the lower end of the fixing part 2 is disposed on the frame 1. An installation space 21 is formed inside the fixing part 2 to accommodate the electric limiter 200. An installation area is provided at the upper end of the fixing part 2 to fix the electric limiter 200. This arrangement, with the lower end of the fixing part 2 connected to the frame 1, provides a stable support foundation for the entire fixing structure, ensuring the stability of the fixing part 2 on the frame 1. The internal installation space 21 and the upper installation area are designed specifically for the characteristics of the electric limiter 200, aiming to achieve effective placement and fixation of the electric limiter 200. The installation space 21, used to accommodate the electric limiter 200, provides a relatively independent and suitable placement environment for the electric limiter 200, avoiding interference with other components and also protecting the electric limiter 200 from accidental collisions or damage from external factors. The installation area at the upper end of the fixing part 2 facilitates the installation and removal of the electric limiter 200 by operators. By securing the electric limit switch 200 in the mounting area, it can be ensured that the electric limit switch 200 will not loosen or shift during testing. For example, it can be secured by screws or clips.
[0044] In one embodiment, the fixing part 2 includes a symmetrically arranged first bracket 22 and a second bracket 23. The first bracket 22 and the second bracket are detachably mounted on the frame 1, so that the installation space 21 formed between them is adjustable. This arrangement, with the fixing part 2 composed of the symmetrical first bracket 22 and the second bracket 23, ensures structural stability and balance, allowing the fixing part 2 to bear force evenly when supporting the electric limiter 200. The detachable mounting of the first bracket 22 and the second bracket 23 to the frame 1 provides a degree of flexibility to the fixing part 2 structure. Operators can easily install, remove, or adjust the position of the first bracket 22 and the second bracket 23 according to actual needs. Furthermore, since the first bracket 22 and the second bracket 23 are detachable, the size of the installation space 21 formed between them can be adjusted according to the specific dimensions of the electric limiter 200. This means that the fixing part 2 can be adapted to electric limiters 200 of different sizes, enhancing the versatility of the device.
[0045] In one embodiment, the load-bearing part 4 is provided with a through hole 41, and the guide part 3 passes through the through hole 41, so that the load-bearing part 4 can slide along the guide part 3. This arrangement, by providing a through hole 41 on the load-bearing part 4 and allowing the guide part 3 to pass through this through hole 41, is a clever structural design. It establishes a direct connection between the load-bearing part 4 and the guide part 3, enabling them to work together to achieve a specific movement pattern for the load-bearing part 4. The placement of the guide part 3 through the through hole 41 provides a clear constraint on the movement of the load-bearing part 4. The load-bearing part 4 can only slide along the direction of the guide part 3, limiting its degrees of freedom in other directions and ensuring the directionality and controllability of its movement.
[0046] In one embodiment, a limiting part 42 is provided on the load-bearing part 4, and at least one weight 51 is detachably installed on the limiting part 42. This configuration allows for convenient adjustment of the weight of the load-bearing part 4 by detachably installing the weight 51. In the thrust performance test of the electric limiter 200, different electric limiters 200 may require different load conditions to simulate the actual working environment. The number of weights 51 can be increased or decreased according to the test requirements to achieve a suitable weight for the load-bearing part 4, thereby more accurately testing the performance of the electric limiter 200 under different loads. Because the load can be flexibly adjusted, this device can adapt to the testing of various electric limiters 200 with different specifications and performance requirements. For electric limiters 200 with larger thrust, the number of weights 51 can be increased to increase the load; for electric limiters 200 with smaller thrust, the number of weights 51 can be reduced, making the test environment more consistent with its actual working conditions and improving the relevance and accuracy of the test.
[0047] In one embodiment, the limiting part 42 includes a limiting rod 421, and each weight 51 is provided with a limiting hole 511. The weight 51 is limited to the limiting rod 421 through the limiting hole 511. With this configuration, the weight 51 can be securely installed on the load-bearing part 4 through the cooperation of the limiting rod 421 and the limiting hole 511. During the thrust performance test of the electric limiter 200, even if the load-bearing part 4 is subjected to a large external force or is in a dynamic motion state, the weight 51 will not easily shift, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the load during the test. This makes the installation and removal of the weight 51 simple and easy. The operator only needs to align the limiting hole 511 of the weight 51 with the limiting rod 421 and slip it on to complete the installation; conversely, removing the weight 51 from the limiting rod 421 achieves disassembly. This greatly improves the efficiency of adjusting the load during the test, saving time and labor costs.
[0048] In one embodiment, the limiting rod 421 has an external thread on its outer side and a locking part 43 on its inner side. The limiting rod 421 is threaded to the locking part 43. With this configuration, when the weight 51 is installed on the limiting rod 421, rotating the locking part 43 allows it to move downwards along the external thread of the limiting rod 421, thus firmly fixing the weight 51 to the load-bearing part 4. During the thrust performance test of the electric limiter 200, even if the load-bearing part 4 is subjected to significant vibration or dynamic force, the locking part 43 prevents the weight 51 from loosening or shifting, ensuring the stability of the load and the accuracy of the test. The threaded connection makes the installation and removal of the locking part 43 very convenient. If it is necessary to replace the weight 51 or maintain the load-bearing part 4, the locking part 43 can be easily rotated to remove it; after the operation is completed, the weight 51 can be re-fixed by rotating the locking part 43. This convenience improves the efficiency of the testing equipment and reduces the time and cost of equipment maintenance.
[0049] In one embodiment, the configuration component further includes a spacer 52, which is disposed between two adjacent weights 51. This arrangement provides a clear separation between the weights 51, making it easier for operators to install and remove them. The position of each weight 51 can be clearly identified, preventing interference between them, improving operational efficiency, and reducing the possibility of operational errors.
[0050] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
