Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tire testing equipment, specifically to a polyurethane wheel testing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Polyurethane tires are increasingly replacing rubber tires in transportation vehicles due to their advantages such as being maintenance-free and pollution-free. Static pressure deformation and wear resistance are important parameters for judging the quality of polyurethane tires.
[0003] Existing polyurethane wheel testing machines include rotary and roller types. Rotary machines place the wheel on a rotating turntable for testing. However, this measurement method suffers from torsion caused by the different linear speeds of the inner and outer rings of the wheel, resulting in excessive wear or cracking on one side of the inner ring, far exceeding normal usage and leading to inaccurate test results. Roller machines test by rolling the wheel against a roller, but this measurement method suffers from relatively small contact area compared to the ground, resulting in lower heat generation and less accurate measurement of deformation. Therefore, a polyurethane wheel testing machine is proposed that can simulate the friction between the wheel and the ground, making the test results more realistic and accurate. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a polyurethane wheel testing machine that can simulate the friction between a wheel and the ground, resulting in more realistic and accurate test results.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a polyurethane wheel testing machine, including a frame, with two pairs of sprockets corresponding to each other at both the front and rear ends of the frame. The two pairs of sprockets are connected front and rear by two chains, and several support plates are installed circumferentially on the outer side of the chains. It also includes a drive device for driving the sprockets to rotate. Several mounting brackets for mounting wheels are provided above the support plates, and each mounting bracket is equipped with a pressure sensor. Several telescopic devices for controlling the lifting and lowering of the mounting brackets are provided above the frame.
[0006] Using the above technical solution, during testing, the wheel is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame. The mounting frame is lowered by a telescopic device, causing the bottom of the wheel to contact the pallet. At this point, the pressure sensor contacts the pallet and outputs the detected pressure value. Then, the drive device is activated to rotate the sprocket, which in turn rotates the chain, causing multiple moving pallets to shift. The friction between the pallet and the wheel simulates the friction between the wheel and the ground. By adjusting the moving speed of the pallet, different wheel speeds can be achieved to meet different testing requirements, resulting in more realistic and accurate test results.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the mounting bracket is a pair of mounting plates, and the pair of mounting plates are provided with a pair of horizontally aligned mounting holes. During installation, the rotation shaft of the wheel is rotatably connected to the pair of mounting holes.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the chain includes several chain links, the side wall of each chain link is provided with a connecting plate, the connecting plate is provided with a connecting hole, and the support plate is connected to the connecting plate by screws.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the driving device is a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to one of a pair of sprockets.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the telescopic device is a cylinder, and the movable end of the cylinder is connected to the mounting bracket.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the surface of the tray is provided with several screw holes. In use, other accessories can be installed on the tray through the screw holes to perform more comprehensive inspection of the wheels and realize more inspection functions.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During testing, the wheel is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame. The mounting frame is moved down by the telescopic device so that the bottom of the wheel abuts against the pallet. At this time, the pressure sensor abuts against the pallet and outputs the detected pressure value. Then, the drive device is turned on to drive the sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the chain to rotate, causing multiple moving pallets to be displaced. The friction between the pallet and the wheel simulates the friction between the wheel and the ground. By adjusting the moving speed of the pallet, different rotation speeds of the wheel can be achieved to meet different testing requirements, and the test results are more realistic and accurate.
