DRIVE-TRAIN TESTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A drive-train testing system for evaluating a characteristic of a workpiece by inputting a driving torque, which is generated in accordance with a torque command including an alternating-current component of an excitation frequency, into an input shaft of the workpiece configuring a part of a drive train, the drive-train testing system comprising:
- a first motor,a second motor, one end side of a drive shaft thereof being connected to a drive shaft of the first motor, and the other end side of the drive shaft thereof being connected to an input shaft of the workpiece;
a shaft torque meter for detecting a torque that acts on a shaft between the workpiece and the second motor; and
a resonance suppression circuit for dividing the torque command into a first torque command for the first motor and a second torque command for the second motor, based on a detected value of the shaft torque meter, so as to suppress torsion resonance of an axis that connects the first motor, the second motor, and the workpiece.

Abstract
The present invention provides a drive-train testing system that is capable of generating a large drive torque without increasing the size of a motor that simulates an engine. The drive-train testing system inputs a drive torque, which is generated according to a torque command which contains an alternating-current component having an excitation frequency, to an input shaft of a workpiece in order to evaluate the performance of said workpiece. This system is equipped with a first motor, a second motor, a torque meter for detecting a torque which acts upon the shaft between the workpiece and the second motor, and a resonance suppression circuit that divides the torque command into a first torque command and a second torque command so as to suppress torsional resonance on the basis of a value detected by the torque meter.
