Automobile three-pedal performance test scheme

System introduction

The GA-13 automobile clutch pedal performance test system is an intelligent automobile pedal test equipment independently developed and developed based on pedal stroke calculation, which can realize the test of the stroke trajectory and pedal force of the clutch pedal of various types of vehicles. The instrument adopts the data acquisition system as the main control core, selects the imported pedal force sensor and rotation angle sensor as the main test components, transmits data through the CAN bus interface, and is equipped with professional operating software, which can be displayed and saved on the host computer in real time.

The system conforms to the ergonomic mechanical structure of automobiles, and the whole inspection process is convenient and fast. It is an ideal testing equipment for automobile manufacturing industry, automobile maintenance industry, automobile testing and scientific research departments.

1. Measurement principle

image.jpeg

As shown in the figure, the measurement module composed of an angle sensor and a linear displacement sensor can measure the space vector curve data in real time. The system adopts the relative quantity calculation method (before measurement, the system automatically resets to zero), so the test result has nothing to do with the installation position of the sensor. It is only necessary to ensure that the sensor arrangement plane is consistent with the pedal trajectory plane.


During the test, the data acquisition system obtains the angle and displacement change in real time, and sends it to the host computer for data calculation and display.


The data acquisition system collects the pedal variation information in real time and point by point, and finally obtains the pedal motion trajectory through calculation.

Test items

When this device is used for vehicle pedal test, it can record the process of stepping on the pedal in real time, and automatically store the pedal force-travel curve data. The system software automatically analyzes key points according to the data collected by the test, and the calculation results can directly generate report documents.

Generally speaking, the curve data recorded during the pedaling process is divided into upper curve and lower curve. This is due to the internal damping of the pedal system, which causes the two curves to not coincide, that is, pedal hysteresis.
