The fuel tank bracket 17 is fixed on the third-class dividing line of the support plate 16 to avoid fatigue damage caused by the stress concentration of the fixing bracket 4.
[0045] In a further preferred solution, the two sets of straps 18 are respectively located on the outer side of the wave breaker 19 arranged in parallel inside the fuel tank and overlapped. The special position of the strap 18 is used to fix the inner wave breaker 19 to avoid damage to the wave breaker 19 during the test.
[0046] A further preferred solution also includes a test unit including a vibration sensor, a resistance strain gauge, an oil pressure sensor, a float level gauge, and a PLC processor, and the vibration sensor is arranged on the corresponding fuel tank bracket 17 and On the corresponding strap 18, the resistance strain gauge is arranged on the anti-wave plate 19 and the fuel tank end cover 22, the oil pressure sensor is arranged on the fuel tank end cover 22, and the float level gauge is arranged on the fuel tank end cover On the wall of the oil tank between 22 and the wave breaker 19, the PLC processor processes the signals collected by the vibration sensor, the resistance strain gauge, the oil pressure sensor and the float level gauge and outputs the result.

[0048] According to the existing problems of heavy truck fuel tanks, the test system has four functions: analysis of the overall structural vibration of the fuel tank, analysis of the stress and strain characteristics of the wave plate and diaphragm, analysis of the distribution law of the oil sloshing pressure field, and oil flow Analysis of field fluctuation characteristics.
[0049] In order to complete the analysis of the vibration characteristics of the overall structure of the fuel tank, the present invention uses a vibration sensor to obtain the vibration signal of the fuel tank shaking excitation frequency and its natural frequency. Under different working conditions of the vehicle, the tires on the road will cause various forms and sizes of excitation to the fuel tank. When the external excitation vibration frequency is close to the natural frequency of the fuel tank, the fuel tank will violently shake. Not only does it produce loud noises, but in severe cases, the anti-wave board falls off and the box body is torn. In order to avoid or reduce the resonance of the fuel tank, it is necessary to analyze its vibration characteristics. Through finite element analysis, it is concluded that the maximum vibration signal generated by the fuel tank is basically located near the connection part of the wave breaker and the tank body. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the vibration signal of these parts.
[0050] In order to complete the analysis of the stress and strain characteristics of the wave breaker and the diaphragm and the analysis of the distribution law of the oil sloshing pressure field, the present invention uses the resistance strain gauge and the oil pressure sensor to obtain the stress signal and the strain signal received by the wave breaker and the diaphragm; through the stress signal , To monitor the distribution law of the pressure field under oil pressure, and collect the stress change data of the oil acting on the fuel tank structure; and the strain signal can monitor the mechanical properties of the structure, and finally complete the analysis of the stress and strain characteristics of the structure. In order to avoid cyclic stress and strain damage and local cumulative damage to the structure, there is an urgent need for a reasonable design of the structure of the fuel tank end cover and the wave breaker. According to the actual damage of the fuel tank, most of the fuel tank end cover and the wave breaker are broken, and the finite element analysis shows that the largest deformation of the fuel tank end cover and the wave breaker is in the middle part. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the impact of oil shaking on the fuel. The stress signal and strain signal of the middle part of the box end cover and the wave breaker.
[0051] In order to complete the analysis of the fluctuation characteristics of the oil flow field, the present invention uses the float level gauge to obtain the liquid level signal of the oil sloshing amplitude. When the liquid level in the fuel tank changes, the liquid level signal can track the free liquid surface and respond to different accelerations. And to study the oil sloshing characteristics under different filling ratios, quantify and identify the oil sloshing characteristics and the severity of sloshing under various working conditions, so as to guide the selection of fuel tanks under common working conditions and the structural design of sloshing and noise reduction. Since the positions with the greatest amplitude and frequency of the liquid level change are at the two ends of the fuel tank, it is also essential to detect the liquid level signals at the two ends of the fuel tank.
[0052] The resistance strain gauge adopts the BA series strain gauge, using F601 glue and pasting according to the requirements of the specification. At the same time, use epoxy resin to apply oil-proof coating to the corresponding strain gauge to ensure that the terminals, solder joints and strain gauges are completely immersed in the epoxy resin. The strain signal, vibration signal, pressure signal and liquid level signal are collected, analyzed and processed by PLC.
[0053] According to the requirements of the impact test of oil on the fuel tank during random and authentic road conditions, the actual vehicle test platform is mainly composed of a fixed unit and a detection unit.
[0054] The fixing unit includes a real vehicle 23, a buffer rubber 9, a fixing bracket 4, a screw, a support plate 16, a bolt, a nut, a fuel tank bracket 17, a strap 18, an upper threading pin 20, a lower threading pin 21, and a fuel tank. Use 4 screws to fix the fixing bracket 4 on the actual vehicle 23, and fix the fuel tank on the fixing bracket 4 through the fuel tank bracket 17, the strap 18, the upper threading pin 20, and the lower threading pin 21. The specific fixing method and position The bench test platform is the same; when the actual vehicle 23 is in motion, the fuel tank and the actual vehicle 23 can be relatively stationary, and the fuel tank completes the random and authentic road condition test.
[0055] The fuel tank oil sloshing characteristic test system of the heavy truck vehicle of the present invention not only includes a test device composed of a bench test platform and a real vehicle test platform, but also includes four functions to evaluate the oil sloshing characteristic. The bench test platform and the actual vehicle test platform can realize the fuel tank movement in different road conditions. The two are inseparable and refer to each other. The test system has four functions to evaluate the oil sloshing characteristics and complete the structure optimization of the fuel tank. Design and provide reliable basis for manufacturing.
