Abstract

A train end relationship test system was installed with a Stewart parallel robot on the reaction bases perpendicular to the ground, to test the fatigue and durability of train end relationship components, such as the transfixion way of a high-speed railway train. The flexibility of the reaction bases affected the test accuracy of the train end relationship components within a test frequency band range. In this paper, a coupling characteristic model was established between the flexible bases and the parallel robot. Then, the analytical relationship was analyzed between the natural frequency of the bases and the natural frequency of the parallel robot. Moreover, a design criterion was proposed for the natural frequency of the reaction bases. It was considered that when the natural frequency of the bases was not less than five times the natural frequency of the parallel robot, the influence of the flexibility of the bases on the test accuracy can be ignored. The validity of the design criterion was verified by the simulation results.
