The invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic hoists, in particular to a testing device and a testing method for testing the performance of a hydraulic hoist, the testing device comprises a testing oil cylinder, a loading oil cylinder, a hydraulic
system and an
electric control cabinet, and the testing oil cylinder and the loading oil cylinder are connected into a whole. The tension and pressure between the test oil cylinder and the loading oil cylinder become the
system internal force of the whole structure, external force intervention is reduced, the test accuracy is improved, meanwhile, the load
equivalence principle is adopted, the door opening time and the door closing time of the rapid hydraulic hoist are set, the
load capacity of the rapid hydraulic hoist under different test working conditions can be simulated, and the
test efficiency is improved. Therefore, various performances of the rapid hydraulic hoist can be observed, and the test device satisfying the performance test of the rapid hydraulic hoist is provided. According to the test method, the pump
station and the control valve group are controlled to act through the
electrical control cabinet, the labor intensity of workers is reduced, the test cost is saved, the test convenience can be improved, and the test accuracy is improved through the test device.
