The Consumer Product Safety Commission requires an automated test stand to operate self-balancing scooters (commonly referred to as hoverboards) and other light electric vehicles or personal e-mobility devices like electric bikes under a variable mechanical load to evaluate the battery pack during discharge operations. The test stand is intended to be used in a shared laboratory space and may be required to be moved when the test stand is not in use. Therefore, the test stand shall not be required to be permanently mounted. It shall be mobile, capable of being moved without major reconfiguration or without incurring damage. An example of an acceptable means of meeting this requirement is for the unit to be on casters (that may be locked) with detachable electric and compressed air connections. The standalone automated test stand shall include a re-configurable carriage to accept various shapes and sizes of one or two-wheeled hoverboards or other light electric vehicles to be operated under various loading conditions in order to evaluate the electrical system performance in accordance with requirements in ANSI/CAN/UL-2272:2016, Electrical Systems for Personal E-Mobility Devices and similar electric vehicle standards. In addition to the mechanical interface, the system shall incorporate a computer-controlled digital acquisition system to measure temperatures, battery current, battery voltage, mechanical force on rider platform and wheel speed while the vehicle is being operated. The test stand must meet the following features and specifications: • Computer-controlled data acquisition system: Computer, monitor, DAQ with 8 channels available for voltage (scaled for 60 V), 8 channels for current (as a voltage input), 2 channels for measuring wheel torque (from transducer), 24 channels for thermocouples (with modules accessible to accept thermocouple wires) • Utility requirements: Operated from 120VAC, via cord and plug connected and 90 psi compressed air • Table Assembly, custom table, no more than 80" width x 42" depth x 86" height (can be partially disassembled to 76" height for door clearance) • Ability to measure performance parameters for one or two motors (to ensure both wheels are operating at the same speed) • Ability to test two wheel self-balancing scooters with wheel separations from 12 inches to 28 inches. • Test stand speed equivalent to maximum vehicle speed of 20mph • Roller Assembly, one assembly to adjust for vehicles of various wheel sizes (3"-29" diameter) • Dual torque transducer / load brakes (12 Nm) • (2) brakes, (2) torque converters, and (2) DC power supplies for source current for load brakes. • Vertical Force Assembly, force adjustable up to 400 lbF, displayed and recorded in software • Pivot Assembly to simulate rider presence on platform/seat, adjustable to various deck heights • Tilt angle of actuation of foot pads: from 0 to 30 degrees • Emergency shutoff Delivery and acceptance shall be to the CPSC point of contact included in the award and in accordance with Local Clause 1 B for the delivery of any items to CPSC.
