Abstract
The invention describes a test rig (10) for testing a seat belt system and/or for testing components of a seat belt system. Said test rig (10) comprises a test rig base (12), a holding unit (18) for mounting a seat belt system to be tested and/or components to be tested of a seat belt system, an impact unit (16) configured to apply load to a seat belt system to be tested, and a linear drive unit (20). The invention further presents a test setup comprising such test rig (10). In addition, the invention provides a method for operating such test rig (10).
Claims17
A test rig (10) for testing at least one component of a seat belt system (26) having a webbing, comprising
- a test rig base (12),
- a holding unit (18) for mounting the at least one component of the seat belt system (26) to be tested,
- an impact unit (16) which is configured to apply a load to the at least one component of the seat belt system (26) to be tested and which is supported on the test rig base (12) to be substantially horizontally movable relative to the holding unit via a linear guide (14) in the operating state of the test rig (10), and
- a controlled linear drive unit (20) which includes a drive interface (22),
- the drive interface being configured to connect the holding unit to the linear drive unit so that the linear drive unit directly moves the holding unit relative to the test rig base, the drive interface being configured to connect the impact unit to the linear drive unit so that the linear drive unit directly moves the impact unit relative to the test rig base.
