A steering gear impact test bench

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of automobile manufacturing, and specifically discloses a steering gear impact test stand. The impact test bench includes a drop hammer impact device, a sample fixing device and a tie rod holding device. The sample fixing device is arranged below the drop weight impact device. Adjust the rigidity of the front sub-frame system of the actual vehicle to make it consistent with the stiffness of the front sub-frame system of the real vehicle; the tie rod holding device is set on the sample fixing device, and the tie rod holding device is used to clamp the tie rod of the steering gear sample, which can realize the tension of the tie rod when the steering gear sample is installed. Accurate positioning, and can maintain the positioning accuracy of the tie rod before the impact, and can also realize the disconnection during the impact to release the tie rod quickly, so as to realize the free movement of the tie rod when the steering gear sample is impacted. The steering gear impact test bench can ensure that the tie rods of the steering gear sample are fixed at the same position during each impact test, thus ensuring the scientificity and accuracy of the test.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile manufacturing, in particular to a steering gear impact test stand. Background technique [0002] In the design of the damage chain of various parts of the automobile chassis, the steering gear is often damaged before the axle shaft and other load-bearing parts, causing the car to lose its normal steering function (deviation or corner change), so as to tell the user that the car needs to be repaired immediately. Rather than making the axle shaft and other load-bearing parts directly fracture to cause a major accident of car crash. The most common form of damage to the steering gear is curb impact. The weakest link of the steering gear is the connection between the inner and outer tie rods during curb impact. Therefore, impacting the inner and outer tie rods of the steering gear is a necessary chassis test. [0003] The steering gear impact test generally adopts the drop hammer impact form, and ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The above two methods cannot guarantee the free movement of the tie rod during impact, and the impact condition does not match the free movement condition of the actual vehicle during impact. At this time, the impact load will also have a large difference from the impact load of the actual vehicle.

In addition, neither of the two solutions can guarantee that the tie rod is in the same position every time it is impacted

Because the impact is essentially the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy, the impact load is generated after the impact. The impact load is not only related to the potential energy but also significantly related to the impact duration, and the impact energy, impact position and surface hardness comprehensively affect the impact time. Therefore, it must be guaranteed Only when the tie rod is at the same position for each impact can the repeatability of the impact be guaranteed, otherwise, even under the same potential energy, the measured impact load will vary greatly, and even the impact load with low potential energy will be greater than the impact load with high potential energy , resulting in inaccurate test results
