[0038] As shown in FIG. 2, the driving plate 1 is installed on the cylinder block base 9, and the cylindrical step on the cylinder block base 9 passes through the driving plate 1. Three driving plate clamping grooves 17 are distributed on the driving plate 1 at equal intervals, and the ends of the three driving plate clamping grooves 17 facing the center just abut against the cylindrical surface of the cylindrical step of the cylinder block base 9, so as to limit the horizontal movement of the driving plate 1 and ensure that the driving plate 1 is always concentric with the driving shaft mounting hole 16 at the center of the cylindrical step; the driving plate 1 can only rotate around the driving shaft mounting hole 16 of the cylinder block base 9.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3, each cylinder block 4 is provided with a cylinder block protrusion 4.1; each cylinder block protrusion 4.1 is stuck in a driving plate clamping groove 17. The driving plate 1 is rotated, and the three driving plate clamping grooves 17 drive the three cylinder blocks 4 to rotate synchronously around their respective central shafts 8 through the cylinder block protrusions 4.1, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, so as to ensure that the pressure angles on various piston assemblies 12 are equal. During the rotation, the cylinder block protrusion 4.1 slides in the driving plate clamping groove 17 to ensure that the cylinder block 4 can rotate with the driving plate 1.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 5, the pressure angle is the acute angle ? between the connecting line from the center of the driving shaft 3 to the center of the pin roller 12.1 and the piston axis; the pressure angle is used to indicate the direction of the force acting on the pin roller by the driving shaft.

The pin roller 12.1 can rotate around its own axis, and the pin roller is installed in a cylindrical hole on the piston. The central axis of the pin roller is perpendicular to the central axis of the piston, and the pin roller and the piston slide relatively to form a sliding friction pair with the piston 12.2. As shown in FIG. 3, the piston assembly 12 to be tested is installed in the piston hole of the cylinder block 4, and the cylinder block 4 is equipped with an oil port joint 6 and a temperature and pressure sensor 7, which are communicated with the piston cavity. Hydraulic oil can be supplied to the piston cavity between the piston 12.2 and the cylinder block 4 through the oil port joint 6, and the temperature and pressure of the oil in the piston cavity are collected by the sensor. The hydraulic oil presses the pin roller 12.1 on the driving shaft 3 through the piston 12.2, and the central axis of the pin roller 12.1 is parallel to the central axis of the driving shaft 3, which drives the pin rollers 12.1 in the three piston assemblies 12 to be tested to rotate when the driving shaft 3 rotates.

[0046] Corresponding to the embodiment of the testing device for a multiple piston assembly of a cam-lobe hydraulic motor, the present application also provides a testing method using the testing device for the roller-piston friction pair of the cam-lobe hydraulic motor, which includes the following steps: [0047] (1) As shown in FIG. 7, three piston assemblies 12 are prepared, and only the piston 12.2 in the three piston assemblies 12 adopts different surface strengthening methods, specifically, diamond-like carbon coating, molybdenum disulfide coating and salt bath surface nitriding, and other parameters in the three piston assemblies 12 remain the same; through this testing device, the effects of three surface strengthening methods on the wear resistance of piston 12.2 in piston assembly 12 are compared and tested; the fixing bolts 5 on the cylinder block 4 are loosened, and the three piston assemblies 12 to be tested are installed into the piston holes of the three cylinder blocks 4, so that the central axis of the pin roller 12.1 is parallel to the central axis of the driving shaft 3. [0048] (2) According to the actual working condition of the piston assemblies 12 to be simulated, the pressure angle ? is determined, the driving plate 1 is rotated, and the driving plate 1 drives the three cylinder blocks 4 to rotate synchronously around their respective central shafts 8; and according to the pressure angle ?, the indicator line on the driving plate 1 is turned to the corresponding position of the indicator scale 14, and the fixing bolts 5 are tightened to fix the cylinder blocks 4 on the cylinder block base 9 after adjustment. [0049] (3) According to the actual working condition of the piston assemblies 12 to be simulated, hydraulic oil with the required pressure and temperature is supplied to the piston cavities of the three cylinder blocks 4 through the oil port joint 6, and the hydraulic oil states in the piston cavities of the three cylinder blocks 4 are consistent; the piston 12.2 presses the pin roller 12.1 on the driving shaft 3 under the action of hydraulic oil; the pressure of hydraulic oil is changed to change the magnitude of the force between the pin roller and the driving shaft. [0050] (4) The motor 10 drives the driving shaft 3 to rotate, and the driving shaft 3 further drives the three pin rollers 12.1 to rotate; the rotating speed of the motor 10 is adjusted to the required value according to the actual working condition of the piston assembly 12 to be simulated. [0051] (5) The test bench is allowed to run continuously, the pressure and temperature changes of hydraulic oil in the piston cavity of the cylinder block 4 are monitored by the sensor 7, and the change of friction between the pin roller 12.1 and the piston 12.2 is monitored through the rotating speed and torque sensor 11; the test is stopped after 10 hours of testing, the three piston assemblies 12 are dismantled, and the wear state of the sliding friction pair between the pin roller 12.1 and the piston 12.2 in the piston assembly 12 is observed and obtained; the test results of three kinds of pistons 12.2 are shown in FIG. 8, from which it can be clearly seen that the wear conditions of the three processes are different, and the wear of the piston 12.2 with the salt bath surface nitriding process is the lightest; at the end of the comparison, as for the frictional forces respectively measured for the three piston assemblies 12, the piston 12.2 with the salt bath surface nitriding process is also the smallest; therefore, the salt bath surface nitriding process has a better wear resistance.
