Reverse overload test Under the condition that the controller receives the Vmax vehicle speed signal, the assembly is tested according to the method described in the relevant clauses of QC/T XXXX. The wear test is to input the vehicle speed signal to the controller at a frequency of 0.05Hz according to the speed change of 0km/h~Vmax~0km/h. Under the condition that the electronic control valve is working normally, the assembly is carried out according to the method described in the relevant clauses of QC/T XXXX test. After the test, continue to test according to the free clearance of 6.1.1, the internal leakage of 6.1.2, the function test of 6.1.3 and the steering force characteristic of 6.1.5 to check whether the assembly works normally. In the muddy water endurance test of forward rotation, the vehicle speed signal is input to the controller at a frequency of 0.05Hz and the vehicle speed varies from 0km/h to Vmax to 0km/h. Under the condition that the electronic control valve is working normally, the assembly shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of QC/T XXXX. test using the method described above. After the test, continue to test according to: 1 free clearance, no-load torque and external leakage, 2 internal leakage, 3 functional test, 4 steering gear stiffness and steering force characteristics to check whether the assembly works normally.
