[0003] When designing a large and complex engine high-altitude simulation test system, since it is composed of a medium supply system, an air distribution system, a steam generation system, a steam jet pump system, a pressure-boosting and cooling system, a vacuum chamber system, etc., the system composition is large and complex, and its measuring points are relatively scattered; and the existing system parameters are of many types and quantities, including pressure (vacuum), flow, temperature and other parameters. The amount of data that needs to be measured exceeds more than one thousand types, and the measurement and control center is far away from the test bench, requiring long-distance transmission.
[0004] At present, the measurement points are usually connected to the collection equipment by using centralized collection equipment and laying long measurement cables. This connection method not only increases the cost of laying cables, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also cannot guarantee the stability and reliability of system transmission.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a distributed measurement system for high-altitude simulation test of an engine includes a front-end test system 1, a relay point 2 and a back-end measurement and control center 3;
[0032] The front-end test system 1 includes multiple sensors 4, at least one collector 5 and a power supply component 6; the collector 5 is a 4-channel collector 5, and one collector 5 can connect to up to 4 sensors 4. The collector 5 is arranged near the sensor 4 closest to the relay point 2 among the 4 sensors 4, which can effectively save cables; the multiple sensors 4 are used to collect steam power parameters, steam jet pump parameters, temperature reduction and pressure increase parameters and vacuum environment parameters in the measurement system, specifically collecting pressure (vacuum), flow, temperature, environment and other parameters.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the power supply component 6 includes a 24V power supply, a fuse 8 and at least one wiring terminal 9. The 24V power supply supplies power to multiple sensors 4. All of the multiple sensors 4 are two-wire systems, i.e., one line is the power supply end and one line is the signal end; the acquisition channel of the collector 5 is a two-wire signal, i.e., the signal input positive end and the signal input negative end. The positive pole of the 24V power supply is connected to the fuse 8 through a 4-core cable, and the fuse 8 is connected to the power supply end of the sensor 4 through the wiring terminal 9 through the 4-core cable. The signal end of the sensor 4 is connected to the signal input positive end of the corresponding channel of the collector 5 through the 4-core cable through the wiring terminal 9, and the signal input negative end of the corresponding channel is connected to the negative pole of the 24V power supply through the 4-core cable through the wiring terminal 9 to form a loop for measuring the signal of the sensor 4.
[0034] The 24V power supply can effectively improve the reliability of the system power supply. When a short circuit occurs in the system loop, the fuse 8 can be blown to avoid damage to the 24V power supply. When multiple sensors 4 are powered and working, they can be expanded through the wiring terminal 9, which is convenient and reliable. It can be expanded to a scale not greater than the output power of the 24V power supply itself to power multiple sensors 4, and the collector 5 can also be expanded according to the number of sensors 4. Due to the distributed design, the collector 5, 24V power supply, and wiring terminal 9 are installed together, and the installation position is set near the sensor 4, which not only facilitates the expansion of the system, but also effectively shortens the length of the cable used, saving production costs and system resources.
[0035] The relay point 2 includes at least one controller 10 and a front-end switch 11; the communication port of the collector 5 is connected one-to-one with the input communication port of the controller 10 through a 6-core cable, and the output communication port of each controller 10 is connected to the communication port of the front-end switch 11 through a network cable, wherein the setting distance between each correspondingly connected controller 10 and the collector 5 is not greater than 150 meters, and the two can communicate using the 485 communication protocol, which can effectively save the cost of the power supply equipment at the collector 5 end; all controllers 10 are connected to the front-end switch 11 of the relay point 2 through a network cable to communicate data with the back-end measurement and control center 3.
[0036] The back-end measurement and control center 3 includes a back-end switch 12 and a computer 13. The communication port of the front-end switch 11 is connected to the communication port of the back-end switch 12 via an optical cable, and the communication port of the back-end switch 12 is connected to the computer 13 via a network cable; the communication distance between the front-end switch 11 and the back-end switch 12 when communicating via an optical cable does not exceed 10km.
