Abstract: A vehicle chassis health evaluation method and apparatus is disclosed. The method for health evaluation of vehicle chassis may include monitoring the vibration of at least one of the wheel end and the reducer by a vibration sensor. The vibration sensor is installed in the wheel end and/or the reducer. The method may further include, based on the monitored vibration of at least one of the wheel end and the reducer, performing the health evaluation of the vehicle chassis. The health evaluation method of the vehicle chassis of the present disclosure allows the real-time state of the vehicle chassis to be determined, even when the vehicle is driving, and critical safety accidents caused by the chassis can be avoided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an installation device for installing a sensor to a component. The installation device includes a first and second clamps connected together for clamping onto the component. A first adjuster is movably assembled to the first and second clamps. A second adjuster is movably assembled to the first adjuster and includes an installing portion for installing the sensor. The first adjuster and the second adjuster can move along different adjusting directions to adjust the direction of the sensor. The sensor installation device has good adaptability and the installing position can be adjusted according to the actual needs. The installation reliability and connection rigidity can be ensured by various ways such as bolt fastening, fastener fixation or adhesion etc., and the vibration signal transmission path is improved. This makes the installation device especially suitable for installation of vibration sensors and ensures vibration sensors optimally collect vibration signals.
