[0002] Working principle of gas injection rail: Gas is stored in the injection rail. Generally, 3 or 4 nozzles are installed in the injection rail to adapt to different models. At the same time, a pressure sensor is installed to monitor the pressure in the injection rail. The opening and closing of the nozzle is precisely controlled by the engine ECU, and the gas is delivered to the cylinder through the high-pressure nozzle.

[0003] Among them, the spray rail needs to be calibrated after assembly. The traditional spray rail calibration is: the spray rail inlet is connected to compressed air, and the outlet is connected to the glass float flowmeter. After the spray rail is supplied with air, the calibrator uses an Allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the spray rail valve core to adjust its movable stroke so that the indication of the glass float flowmeter is adjusted to the standard range. However, during the operation, the workload and labor intensity are large, the disassembly and assembly are cumbersome, and the calibration efficiency is low. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop an efficient calibration workbench. Summary of the invention

[0030] The gas flow rate is calibrated and adjusted for a certain type of CNG fuel rail with four nozzles.

[0031] The embodiment of the present invention provides an automobile fuel injection rail calibration station, comprising:

[0032] A workbench 1 is provided with a socket 11 and a flow meter 12. The socket 11 has a socket 111 for plugging in a gas nozzle. The socket 111 is connected to the flow meter 12 through a pipeline, that is, a transverse hole is provided at the bottom of the socket 111, and is connected to the flow meter 12 through a pipeline. The corresponding number of the sockets 111 is set according to the number of nozzles on the gas injection rail to be calibrated. Here, four sockets 11 are arranged side by side for plugging in four gas nozzles on the gas injection rail. Furthermore, each socket 11 can be fixedly installed in a slide groove on the support plate of the workbench 1 by bolts, so as to facilitate adjustment of the distance between two adjacent sockets 11;

[0033] The pressing assembly 2 comprises: a pressing telescopic rod 21, a pressing sleeve 22, and a screwdriver bit 23, wherein the pressing telescopic rod 21 may be a cylinder, the pressing telescopic rod 21 is connected to the pressing sleeve 22, the screwdriver bit 23 is rotatably arranged in the pressing sleeve 22 around a vertical axis, and the upper end of the screwdriver bit 23 is connected to a rotating drive mechanism; when the pressing telescopic rod 21 presses the pressing sleeve 22 tightly against the periphery of the flow adjustment bolt 101 at the upper end of the gas injection rail 100, the screwdriver bit 23 is engaged with the flow adjustment bolt 101, and the flow adjustment bolt 101 on the gas injection rail calibrated this time is a hexagonal bolt head, and accordingly, the lower end of the screwdriver bit 23 is a matching hexagonal columnar shape;

[0034] The side pressure assembly 3 includes: a side pressure telescopic rod 31, and a side pressure air intake joint 32, wherein the side pressure air intake joint 32 is installed at the telescopic end of the side pressure telescopic rod 31, wherein the side pressure telescopic rod 31 can be a cylinder, and the side pressure air intake joint 32 has a hole that matches the air intake head 102, when the side pressure telescopic rod 31 is extended, the side pressure air intake joint 32 is connected to the air intake head 102 on the side of the gas rail 100 and is tightly connected, and the side pressure air intake joint 32 is connected to the gas source through a pipeline.

[0035] During the specific calibration process, in the first step, the operator installs the gas rail on the workbench 1 and inserts the gas nozzle downward into the socket 111; in the second step, the downward pressing telescopic rod 21 in the downward pressing assembly 2 drives the downward pressing sleeve 22 to move downward and press against the periphery of the flow adjustment bolt 101 at the upper end of the gas rail, and at the same time, the lower end of the screwdriver 23 is engaged with the flow adjustment bolt 101; in the third step, the side pressing telescopic rod 31 in the side pressing assembly 3 extends to connect the side pressing air inlet joint 32 with the air inlet head 102 on the side of the gas rail 100 to the top Tighten, and pass the test airflow to the gas rail 100 through the air inlet head 102; in the fourth step, the solenoid valve of the gas rail 100 is energized to drive the internal valve core to move and open, and the airflow flows from the gas nozzle to the socket 11 and the flow meter 12. The size detected by the flow meter 12 is used to rotate the batch head 23 forward or reversely through the rotary drive mechanism to achieve calibration. After the four calibrations are completed in sequence, the telescopic rod 31 is pressed to the left, and the telescopic rod 21 is pressed downward to move upward. The gas rail can be removed to calibrate the next one. It can be understood that by quickly clamping the gas rail and calibrating and adjusting it, manual calibration is replaced, and one operator can perform calibration operations on multiple devices in sequence, thereby improving calibration efficiency. In addition, the one-time calibration operation of the gas rail by the calibration station has a much higher calibration consistency than manual calibration, making the back-end equipment run more smoothly.

[0036] In order to avoid the lower end of the screwdriver bit 23 not being aligned and engaged with the flow adjusting bolt 101 when the lower pressure sleeve 22 presses the periphery of the flow adjusting bolt 101, in this embodiment, optionally, the screwdriver bit 23 is arranged to move in the vertical direction, that is, when the lower pressure sleeve 22 is pressed down to the extreme position, the screwdriver bit 23 moves up a short distance relative to the lower pressure sleeve 22, and when the rotary drive mechanism drives the screwdriver bit 23 to rotate, the screwdriver bit 23 can move down under the action of gravity and align and engage with the flow adjusting bolt 101.

[0037] Furthermore, the screwdriver bit 23 is provided with an elastic component 24 for elastically pushing the screwdriver bit 23 downward, which may be a compression spring, which presses the screwdriver bit 23 downward to ensure that the screwdriver bit 23 can be fully inserted into the flow adjustment bolt 101 for engagement.

[0038] Further, it also includes: a mounting block 25, and a transmission sleeve 26, the lower pressure sleeve 22 is installed at the bottom of the mounting block 25, and the mounting block 25 is connected to the lower pressure telescopic rod 21; the transmission sleeve 26 is installed in the mounting block 25 around the vertical axis, that is, the transmission sleeve 26 is installed in the mounting block 25 through two bearings, and the screwdriver 23 is slidably connected in the transmission sleeve 26 along the vertical direction, that is, a sliding hole with a regular hexagonal cross section can be set in the transmission sleeve 26, and the upper end of the screwdriver 23 is connected to the sliding hole. The upper end of the screwdriver bit 23 can slide up and down in the transmission sleeve 26, and the screwdriver bit 23 can also rotate with the transmission sleeve 26 when it rotates. The elastic component 24 is installed in the transmission sleeve 26, and elastically pushes the upper end of the screwdriver bit 23 downward. In order to prevent the screwdriver bit 23 from being completely pushed downward, a step can be set at the junction of the mounting block 25 and the lower pressure sleeve 22 to limit the extreme position of the downward movement of the screwdriver bit 23; the rotary drive mechanism is transmission-connected to the upper end of the transmission sleeve 26.

[0039] Furthermore, it also includes: a lifting plate 27, which has a transverse long groove for fixing the mounting blocks 25. Each mounting block 25 can be installed in the transverse long groove and fixed by a locking bolt.

The output end of the motor 4 is connected to the telescopic universal joint coupling 5. The other end of the telescopic universal joint coupling 5 is connected to the transmission sleeve 26. In this way, the problem that the motor cannot be directly connected to two adjacent transmission sleeves 26 due to the small distance between them is solved.

[0041] Furthermore, vertical guide rails 28 are provided on both sides of the lifting plate 27 to guide the movement of the lifting plate 27, and the downward telescopic rod 21 is provided on both sides of the lifting plate 27, that is, the downward telescopic rod 21 is vertically provided on both sides of the lifting plate 27, and the downward telescopic rod 21 is installed on the support plate, and its telescopic end is connected to the lifting plate 27.

[0043] In order to ensure the stability of the side pressure assembly 3 when applying force to one side of the injection rail, in this embodiment, optionally, a stopper 103 is further provided on the side of the gas injection rail 100 away from the gas inlet head 102 .

[0044] In order to improve the sealing performance between the air spray head and the insertion hole 111, in this embodiment, optionally, an elastic pad 112 is further provided at the insertion hole 111, which may be a hard rubber sleeve.
