VEHICLE SUSPENSION TEST STAND Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G01M17/04 

FIELD: transport engineering; vehicle testing facilities.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for testing vehicles and it can be used for checking damping members of suspensions of wheeled vehicles. Proposed device contains support plate with through longitudinal slots on which vehicle body position recording pickup is mounted, lever hinge-mounted on support plate whose free end is made in form of rack getting into slots of base and resting on cylindrical surface of shaft provided with segment-shaped longitudinal slot and stop-limiter to fix lever in lower position. At corresponding position of shaft, lever can freely fall passing through segment-shaped slot. With shaft in initial position, working surface of lever on which wheel of automobile under testing is placed, rises over surface of support plate through preset height H. After turning of shaft, free end of lever, together with wheel of automobile under testing, freely falls down. Wheel, having passed distance H, falls onto latticed part of support plate, and lever, onto stop-limiter. Vertical displacement of vehicle body are recorded by recording device.

EFFECT: improved accuracy of measurement owing to provision of constant conditions of testing.
