Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of diesel engine detection, in particular to a diesel engine plunger lift and oil supply start point synchronous measurement device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of diesel engines, accurate measurement of the oil supply advance angle is a key technical parameter for optimizing engine power performance and emission indicators.

[0003] The traditional measurement system is based on two independent measurement paths: (1) the drop oil method determines the oil supply start point by detecting the flow change of fuel in the oil pipe, but it needs to disassemble the oil outlet valve of the high-pressure oil pump and remove the internal precision components. This operation can cause the cumulative gap of the internal parts of the oil outlet valve to expand, affecting the sealing performance and service life of the oil outlet valve; (2) the pre-lift method uses mechanical instruments (such as traditional dial gauges) to track the displacement of the plunger, but it needs to disassemble the oil outlet valve and open the plunger cavity for manual reading. This operation has the risk of foreign matter intrusion and aggravates the wear of the components.

[0004] The above measurement methods cannot achieve synchronous measurement of the "plunger lift-oil supply start point" double parameters, resulting in the lack of correlation data between the oil supply advance angle and the plunger lift: too late or too early oil supply will cause problems such as high diesel fuel consumption, difficulty in starting, overheating, abnormality, and poor smoke color, and the measurement achieved by alternating manual operation of naked eye observation of oil droplets and manual adjustment of dial gauge readings still faces the bottleneck of insufficient synchronous accuracy and limited working condition adaptability. SUMMARY

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a sealing ring groove is arranged in the center hole of the upper cover plate, and an O-ring is arranged in the sealing ring groove.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are both threadedly connected with the oil guide cavity support barrel.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the photoelectric liquid drop counting module comprises an infrared emitter and a receiver, and the infrared emitter and the receiver are oppositely arranged on both sides of the transparent oil pipe.

[0013] A measurement method of a diesel engine piston stroke and oil supply start point synchronous measurement device, comprising the following steps:

[0014] S1: rotate the crankshaft, the piston of the high-pressure oil pump pushes the measuring rod upwards, the electronic digital display stroke module outputs the displacement signal in real time to the industrial computer, and a time curve is generated;

[0015] S2: as the crankshaft rotates, the camshaft of the high-pressure oil pump drives the piston to move, fuel flows into the transparent oil pipe through the oil guide hole of the lower cover plate and the inclined hole of the oil guide cavity support barrel, the liquid drops cause the refractive index of the infrared light path to change, and when the preset value is reached, the photoelectric liquid drop counting module generates a pulse signal, and the industrial computer synchronously triggers the electronic digital display stroke module to align the stroke and the liquid drop signal;

[0016] S3: observe the angle value on the flywheel of the diesel engine, determine the oil supply advance angle calibration value by the difference between the angle value of the flywheel at this time and the angle value of the flywheel corresponding to the top dead center of the first cylinder, and cross-verify by observing the display value on the electronic digital display stroke module.
