VEHICLE PNEUMATIC TYRES AND FLEXIBLE MEMBERS TEST STAND Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering; testing facilities. SUBSTANCE: stand is designed for determining static and dynamic elastic characteristics, antivibration properties, wheel slipping and tyre rolling resistance. Stand has base, tested member loading mechanism including slider-crank mechanism connected with drive. Loading mechanism is furnished additionally with pusher installed on vertical guide. Pusher is coupled with rocker and is provided with support members on upper part made in form of two rubber-lined rollers and rigid rollers installed in staggered order between rubber-lined rollers. Members under testing coupling with rocker rest on rollers through track belt with changeable irregularities. EFFECT: possibility of testing rolling wheel without and with slipping, determining antivibration properties of wheel and suspension with due to account of real interaction with road irregularities. 2 cl, 3 dwg
