The invention discloses a bidirectional and horizontal action hydraulic
capstan test device and method, and belongs to the technical field of
test bench testing and
test equipment. The device comprises a supporting seat, a hydraulic
capstan and a load oil cylinder, the load oil cylinder adopts a unique structure that a
piston rod is fixed and a cylinder body can move bidirectionally, and two ends of the cylinder body are connected with the hydraulic
capstan winding drum through two steel wire ropes with opposite winding directions. The core is a set of hydraulic loop integrating an electric proportional overflow valve and four one-way valves: when a cylinder body is pulled, oil in a pressed cavity needs to return through the electric proportional overflow valve, and the
simulation load force can be accurately controlled by setting the pressure of the valve through an
electric signal; meanwhile, the loop can automatically supplement oil to the negative pressure cavity, vacuum is prevented, and stable load is ensured. The problem that in the prior art, a
variable load cannot be provided for a bidirectional and horizontal acting hydraulic capstan is solved, precise and stable
simulation of a single oil cylinder on a bidirectional load is achieved, and the hydraulic capstan load
simulation device has the advantages of being compact in structure, precise in control, safe and reliable.
