The invention discloses a passenger car articulated system testing device and a control method thereof. The testing device comprises a turning platform, a pitching platform, a fixing platform, a torsion cylinder, a pitching cylinder, a turning cylinder and the like, and decoupling of turning, torsion and pitching of a passenger car articulated system is controlled by a mechanical mechanism. Industrial control computer software sets various movement rules and control parameters of the articulated system, a hydraulic proportion system controls telescoping of three cylinders, various working conditions of the articulated system are simulated by controlling various compound movement of the three cylinders, and functions and performances of the articulated system are verified. By comprehensively using advanced technologies such as the mechanical mechanism, hydraulic transmission and control, electrical control and computer measurement and control, various testing schemes of the passenger car articulated system are automatically realized.

Passenger car articulated system testing device and control method thereof

An apparatus and method for adjusting brake cables, such as handbrake cables of automotive vehicles is described. The apparatus includes a brake monitor 2 arranged to detect the position of a brake operating lever (10, fig 1; 60, fig 6) and a controller 16 to receive information via a wireless link or cable from the brake monitor 2 regarding the position of the brake operating lever, and to issue instructions for adjusting the effective length of the brake cable 12a, 12b (48a,48b, fig 5) in order to adjust the position of the brake operating lever. The adjustment may be performed manually (eg. in response to LED's on the monitor) or by an automated power tool 18. "Scragging" to remove elastic elongation can be performed. The brake monitor 2 may be detachably mounted to the braking system with eg. a magnet and clamp, and use contact or non-contact sensing of the operating lever. The braking system may have disc brakes or drum brakes (fig 5). The method and apparatus are particularly suitable for vehicle assembly in a production environment.
