It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are generally those in routine experiments.

[0060] See Figures 1 to 3 The diagram below is a structural schematic of an embodiment of the present invention. An outboard motor testing system is provided, including a base 7, a water tank 2 detachably mounted on the base 7, a support device 1 detachably mounted on the base 7, and a dynamometer 4 mounted on the base 7. The outboard motor 8 is fixed above the water tank 2 by the support device 1, and the test end is fixed inside the water tank 2 by the clamping device 3. The performance parameters of the outboard motor are tested by the dynamometer 4.

[0061] The base 7 is provided with multiple inverted T-shaped grooves 7-1 extending along the length direction. The water tank 2 and the support device 1 are respectively fixed in the grooves 7-1 by bolts. During testing, the positions of the water tank 2 and the support device 1 can be adjusted as needed.

[0062] Support device 1 is used to support the outboard motor 8 above the water tank 2, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support device 1 includes a support frame, two height adjustment mechanisms mounted on the support frame, a tilting mechanism mounted on the height adjustment mechanisms, and a crossbeam 1-18 mounted between the two tilting mechanisms. The outboard motor 8 is mounted on the crossbeam 1-18 via a connecting plate 1-19. The connection between the connecting plate 1-19 and the crossbeam 1-18 is position-adjustable, for example, by providing multiple strip-shaped mounting slots extending along the length direction on the crossbeam 1-18. The connecting plate 1-19 is fixed to the crossbeam by bolts and mounting slots. The height of the crossbeam 1-18 can be adjusted by the height adjustment mechanisms, and the fore-and-aft angle of the crossbeam 1-18 can be adjusted by the tilting mechanisms, thereby adjusting the height and angle of the outboard motor 8 to facilitate precise docking and transmission between the outboard motor 8 and the dynamometer 4, improving testing efficiency.

[0063] The support frame includes two opposing brackets 1-1. The height adjustment mechanism is connected to the brackets 1-1 on both sides via reinforcing members 1-17 to ensure the stability of the height adjustment mechanism. To improve the stability of the support frame, clamping assemblies 9 are provided on both sides of the brackets 1-1. Each clamping assembly 9 includes a clamping block 9-1 detachably fixed in a slide groove 7-1 and clamping bolts 9-2 provided on the clamping block 9-1. By adjusting the position of the clamping bolts 9-2 on both sides, the clamping bolts 9-2 abut against the brackets 1-1, thereby clamping and fixing the brackets 1-1.

[0064] like Figures 8 to 13 As shown, the height adjustment mechanism includes a support leg 1-2 and an adjustment screw 1-3 rotatably mounted on the support leg 1-2 and arranged in the vertical direction. The flipping mechanism is connected to the adjustment screw 1-3 in a transmission manner. The side of the support leg 1-2 is provided with a locking assembly to lock the flipping mechanism. By rotating the adjustment screw 1-3, the flipping mechanism is driven to move up and down in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the outboard motor 8.

[0065] The flipping mechanism includes a support component 1-4 threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 1-3, a first support shaft 1-6 and a second support shaft 1-7 rotatably mounted on the support component 1-4 with their axes parallel to each other, a first gear 1-9 and an angle adjusting block 1-8 mounted on the first support shaft 1-6, a second gear 1-10 mounted on the second support shaft 1-7, a flipping component 1-5 fixedly connected to the second support shaft 1-7, and a manual adjusting component 1-14 for driving the angle adjusting block 1-8 to rotate. The first gear 1-9 and the second gear 1-10 mesh with each other. The flipping component 1-5 is fastened to the support component 1-4 via an angle fixing member 1-11. The flipping component 1-5 is provided with an arc-shaped angle adjusting groove into which the angle fixing member 1-11 extends. The angle adjusting block 1-8 is driven to rotate by the manual adjusting component 1-14, which in turn drives the first gear 1-9 to rotate via the first support shaft 1-6. The second gear 1-10 follows the first gear 1-9 to rotate, thereby driving the flipping component 1-5 to rotate, thus realizing the adjustment of the front and rear angles of the crossbeam 1-18.

[0066] The supporting component 1-4 includes a first supporting plate 1-4a and a second supporting plate 1-4b arranged opposite to each other, and a third supporting plate 1-4c connecting the first supporting plate 1-4a and the second supporting plate 1-4b. The third supporting plate 1-4c is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 1-3. The angle adjusting block 1-8 and the first gear 1-9 are arranged on both sides of the thickness direction of the first supporting plate 1-4a. In this example, the first supporting plate 1-4a and the second supporting plate 1-4b are arranged in the vertical direction, and the third supporting plate 1-4c extends in the horizontal direction.

[0067] The flipping component 1-5 includes a flipping plate 1-5a disposed opposite to the first support plate 1-4a and a connecting part 1-5b connecting the flipping plate 1-5a and the crossbeam 1-18. An accommodating space for accommodating the first gear 1-9 and the second gear 1-10 is formed between the flipping plate 1-5a and the first support plate 1-4a.

[0068] The locking assembly includes a locking plate 1-12 arranged opposite to the second support plate 1-4b and a locking member that locks the locking plate 1-12 to the second support plate 1-4b. The locking member can be a screw. The second support plate 1-4b is locked in a certain position by the locking member, thereby locking the outboard motor 8 at a certain height.

[0069] The manual adjustment component 1-14 includes a handle rotatably mounted on the first support plate 1-4a. One end of the handle abuts against the angle adjustment block 1-8, and the other end is provided with a hand crank. In this example, a support part 1-13 is provided on the first support plate 1-4a. The handle is threadedly connected to the support part 1-13. The hand crank drives the handle to rotate, adjusting the distance between the handle and the angle adjustment block 1-8, thereby driving the angle adjustment block 1-8 to rotate and thus achieving angle adjustment.

[0070] To facilitate clear indication of the angle adjustment value and improve the adjustment accuracy, an angle display component 1-15 is provided on the upper end of the first support plate 1-4a, and an angle indicator component 1-16 is provided on the flip plate 1-5a. Specifically, the angle display component 1-15 is provided with a scale of circumferential angle, and the angle indicator component 1-16 is provided with a pointer. When the flip component 1-5 rotates, the pointer indicates the corresponding angle scale, thereby realizing precise indication of the angle adjustment.

[0071] Clamping device 3, located inside water tank 2, is used to clamp and fix the test end of outboard motor 8, such as... Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the clamping device 3 includes a first adjusting component 3-1 that is movably installed relative to the water tank 2 in a first direction, a second adjusting component 3-2 that is movably installed relative to the first adjusting component 3-1 along a second direction of the water tank 2, and a clamping mechanism fixed on the second adjusting component 3-2, wherein the first direction is the width direction of the water tank 2 and the second direction is the length direction of the water tank.

[0072] The first adjusting component 3-1 includes two mounting plates arranged in parallel. Each mounting plate has a first adjusting hole 3-1a extending along a first direction of the water tank. The mounting plate is fixed to a support inside the water tank 2 using bolts and the first adjusting hole 3-1a, thus adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism within the water tank 2 in the first direction. The second adjusting component 3-2 has a second adjusting hole 3-2a extending along a second direction of the water tank 2. The second adjusting component 3-2 is fixed to the mounting plate using bolts and the second adjusting hole 3-2a, thus adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism within the water tank 2 in the second direction.

[0073] like Figure 16 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping frame 3-3, two sets of gripper assemblies mounted on the clamping frame 3-3, and a fine-tuning assembly connecting the gripper assemblies and the clamping frame 3-3. The gripper assemblies include two opposing grippers 3-4, which are C-shaped and made of nylon. The fine-tuning assembly includes an adjusting plate 3-6 that is movable relative to the clamping frame 3-3 in both vertical and horizontal directions, connecting bolts 3-5 connecting the grippers 3-4 and the adjusting plate 3-6, and a pressure plate 3-7 pressed against the outside of the adjusting plate 3-6.

[0074] Specifically, the side wall of the clamping frame 3-3 has through slots 3-3a for the two connecting bolts 3-5 of the two sets of gripper assemblies to extend out. The adjusting plate 3-6 has two first adjusting slots 3-6a arranged vertically and extending vertically. The pressure plate 3-7 has two second adjusting slots 3-7a arranged horizontally and spaced apart. The connecting bolts 3-5 pass through the first adjusting slots 3-6a and the second adjusting slots 3-7a. After fine-tuning the position of the adjusting plate 3-6 in the vertical and horizontal directions, the two sets of gripper assemblies clamp the outboard motor 8. Then, the adjusting plate 3-6 is fastened to the clamping frame 3-3, and the connecting bolts 3-5 are tightened to press the pressure plate 3-7 firmly onto the adjusting plate 3-6. This completes the fine-tuning of the gripper assembly position, ensuring that the gripper assembly clamps the outboard motor 8 (e.g., ...). Figure 17 (As shown), to improve the stability of the outboard motor 8 test.

[0075] The dynamometer 4 is located outside the water tank 2 and rests on the base 7. The propeller shaft of the outboard motor 8 is connected to the dynamometer 4 via a transmission shaft mechanism 5. The dynamometer 4 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0076] To improve transmission stability and reduce vibration and shaft breakage during transmission, the structure of transmission shaft mechanism 5 was improved. Specifically, as follows: Figure 18 and Figure 19As shown, the drive shaft mechanism 5 includes a drive shaft 5-1, a drive key 5-2 connected to one axial end of the drive shaft 5-1, and a diaphragm flange 5-3 and a first connecting flange 5-4 connected to the other axial end of the drive shaft 5-1. The drive key 5-2 is fixedly connected to the propeller shaft of the outboard motor 8. The drive key 5-2 and the drive shaft 5-1 are connected by a flange, and an elastic diaphragm 5-5 is provided between the drive key flange and the drive shaft flange. An elastic diaphragm 5-5 is also provided between the diaphragm flange 5-3 and the drive shaft 5-1. The elastic diaphragm 5-5 can buffer the vibration brought by the engine, avoid shaft breakage and abnormal noise, and improve service life.

[0077] To achieve flue gas separation during outboard engine testing and avoid the hazards caused by trapped flue gas, a flue gas and water discharge device 6 is also installed, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the exhaust and water discharge device 6 includes an exhaust and water discharge housing 6-1, an expansion flange 6-2 connecting the exhaust and water discharge housing 6-1 to the outboard motor propeller shaft, and a second connecting flange 6-3 connecting the exhaust and water discharge housing 6-1 to the water tank 2. A drive shaft mechanism 5 passes through the exhaust and water discharge housing 6-1. An exhaust pipe 6-4 is located at the upper end of the exhaust and water discharge housing 6-1, and a drain outlet 6-5 is located at the lower end of the exhaust and water discharge housing 6-1. The exhaust gas generated by the outboard motor 8 is separated in the exhaust and water discharge device 6, facilitating the testing of exhaust gas and drainage, and reducing exhaust back pressure and water tank 2 leakage problems. The expansion flange 6-2 is connected to the outboard motor propeller shaft via a tensioning principle.

[0078] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0079] Adjust the position of the support frame on the base 7 and clamp it in place with the clamping assembly 9 to align the outboard motor 8 with the dynamometer 4. Install the outboard motor 8 on the crossbeam 1-18, ensuring that the propeller shaft of the outboard motor 8 aligns with the dynamometer 4. Rotate the adjusting screw 1-3 to move the height adjustment mechanism to a suitable height and lock it with the locking assembly. Adjust the front and rear angles of the crossbeam 1-18 with the manual adjusting component 1-14 to achieve precise transmission between the outboard motor 8 and the dynamometer 4. Adjust the position of the clamping mechanism in the first and second directions within the water tank 2 to secure the outboard motor 8 and ensure the stability of the test. Connect the propeller shaft of the outboard motor 8 to the dynamometer 4 via the transmission shaft mechanism 5 to begin the power test. During the test, exhaust gas and drainage can also be tested.
