Abstract

The present disclosure provides a testing apparatus of an auxiliary belt system. The testing apparatus of the auxiliary belt system includes: a tester bracket, a torque pulse simulation motor mounted to the tester bracket, a crankshaft pulley mounted to the tester bracket and rotated by operations of the torque pulse simulation motor, an auxiliary system mounted to the tester bracket, connected to the crankshaft pulley through a belt and rotated by rotation of the crankshaft pulley and a controller controlling operations of the torque pulse simulation motor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A testing apparatus for an auxiliary belt system comprising:
a tester bracket;
a torque pulse simulation motor mounted to the tester bracket;
a crankshaft pulley mounted to the tester bracket and rotated by operations of the torque pulse simulation motor;
an auxiliary system mounted to the tester bracket, connected to the crankshaft pulley through a belt and rotated by rotation of the crankshaft pulley; and
a controller configured to control a torque of the torque pulse simulation motor so as to demonstrate each stroke of an engine.

2. The testing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the demonstrated strokes correspond to the strokes of an actual engine of a vehicle.

3. The testing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the testing apparatus further comprises a noise measuring apparatus configured to measure a noise of the auxiliary system and the belt, and
wherein the controller compares an output signal of the noise measuring apparatus with a predetermined noise reference signal and outputs a compared signal.

4. The testing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary system comprises a water pump, and
wherein the controller adjusts a water pressure of the water pump for realizing real vehicle conditions.

5. The testing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary system comprises a starting motor, and
wherein the controller adjusts a current load of the starting motor for realizing real vehicle conditions.

6. The testing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the auxiliary system further comprises a battery simulator electrically connected to the starting motor, and
wherein the controller diagnoses charging or discharging state of the battery simulator and outputs a corresponding signal.

7. The testing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary system comprises an air conditioner, and
wherein the controller adjusts a coolant pressure of the air conditioner for realizing real vehicle conditions.

8. The testing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary system comprises a hydraulic pressure pump, and
wherein the controller adjusts a hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic pressure pump for realizing real vehicle conditions.

9. The testing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a mounting position and a mounting angle of the auxiliary system mounted to the tester bracket is adjustable.

10. The testing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary system further comprises:
a tensioner mounted to the tester bracket and driven by the belt; and
a tensioner displacement measure sensor sensing a displacement of the tensioner,
wherein the controller compares an output signal of the tensioner displacement measure sensor with a predetermined reference displacement and outputs a corresponding signal.

11. The testing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the output signal of the tensioner displacement measure sensor corresponds to a displacement of the tensioner driven by the torque pulse simulation motor, and the predetermined reference displacement corresponds to a displacement of the tensioner driven by a real engine, the controller configure to determine whether the torque pulse simulation motor realizes operation status of a real engine based on the corresponding signal.

12. A testing system comprising:
an environmental box in which the auxiliary system according to claim 1 is inserted, and the environmental box configured to supply reference environments including a predetermined temperature and a predetermined moisture to the auxiliary system.
