[0002] With the continuous advancement of automobile technology, the specific power and thermal efficiency of automotive engines have been greatly improved. The cooling water temperature, flow rate, speed, and water flow distribution in the engine cooling system will directly affect the reliability, heat distribution and energy utilization of the engine. The performance of the cooling system directly affects the overall performance of the power system and has become one of the key issues restricting the further development of the engine. Therefore, designing appropriate cooling water flow, pressure, and reasonable flow field distribution has become an indispensable and important link in the research and development of high-efficiency and high-strength engines.

[0003] In the past, the maximum flow value obtained from the water pump bench test was always used in the calculation of the cooling system. However, the resistance of the actual vehicle cooling system is often greater than the resistance of the bench system, resulting in a certain error between the design value and the actual vehicle system. This problem has always plagued the technicians in the vehicle cooling system design. Researching and solving this problem is of great significance to the design of the vehicle cooling system. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but is not limited thereto. Any modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] The present invention provides a method for measuring pressure and flow of a vehicle engine cooling system, the method comprising the following steps:

[0035] Step S1: Draw the cooling system schematic

[0036] Step S11: Complete the confirmation of the main components of the engine cooling system and the cooling system circulation mode.

[0037] The test case of the present invention is a forced circulation water cooling system. Its working process is: the water pump sucks the coolant from outside the engine and pressurizes it, so that it flows into the engine cylinder water jacket from the front end of the engine through the water inlet pipe. In this way, the coolant absorbs heat from the cylinder wall and the temperature rises; it flows to the cylinder head water jacket, and after being heated again, it flows out from the rear end of the cylinder head and enters the radiator along the water outlet pipe. Through the strong suction of the fan, the air flow passes through the radiator at a high speed from front to back. Finally, the heat of the heated coolant continuously passes through the radiator and is dissipated into the atmosphere during the process of flowing through the radiator. The coolant is cooled, and after the cooled coolant flows to the bottom of the radiator, it is pressed into the cylinder water jacket through the water inlet pipe again under the suction and pressurization of the water pump, and circulates continuously in this way, so that the parts of the engine working under high temperature conditions are continuously cooled.

[0038] Step S12: Complete the confirmation of the parameters of the main components of the engine cooling system, including the water pump, cylinder block, cylinder head, thermostat, water inlet pipe, water outlet pipe, oil cooler and expansion pot, etc., wherein:

[0039] Water pump: speed ratio 1.35, pressure-flow characteristic curve as follows Figure 1 As shown;

[0040] Cylinder: Water jacket volume 600ml, pipeline resistance ≤30kpa;

[0041] Cylinder head: water jacket volume 870ml, pipeline resistance ≤33kpa;

[0042] Thermostat: initial opening temperature 100℃, full opening temperature 110℃;

[0043] Electronic thermostat: initial opening temperature without electricity is 103℃, full opening temperature is 115℃;

[0044] Temperature control valve (HVAC): inner diameter 16mm, initial opening temperature 50℃;

[0045] Water inlet: pipe diameter 30mm;

[0046] Water outlet: pipe diameter 30 mm;

[0047] Small circulation pipeline: pipe diameter 18 mm;

[0048] Oil cooler: pipe diameter φ16 mm, pipe resistance ≤35kpa;

[0049] Coolant expansion tank: pipe diameter 8 mm, maximum pressure of pressure cap ≤145kpa.

[0050] Step S13: Creating an engine cooling system diagram according to the physical connection mode of the main components of the engine cooling system in step S11.

[0051] Figure 2The figure shows the main cooling system of the engine (i.e., high-temperature cooling system), which includes the engine water pump, cylinder water jacket, cylinder head water jacket, thermostat housing, thermostat, oil cooler, heater, radiator (main), expansion pot (main), fan, etc. The coolant flows between the above components and forms a closed pressure stabilization system. The specific structure is as follows:

[0052] The high temperature cooling system is composed of a water pump 1, a cylinder block 2, a cylinder head 3, a wax thermostat 5, an electronic thermostat 6, an oil cooler 7, a HVAC temperature control valve 8, a heater 9, a radiator 10, a fan 11 and a first expansion pot 12;

[0053] The inlet of the water pump 1 is connected to the outlet of the radiator 10, and the outlet of the water pump 1 is connected to the water jacket inlet of the cylinder block 2 and the water jacket inlet of the cylinder head 3 respectively;

[0054] The water jacket outlet of the cylinder body 2 is equipped with a wax thermostat 5, and the water jacket outlet of the cylinder head 3 is connected to an electronic thermostat 6 outside the wax thermostat 5;

[0055] The water jacket outlet of the cylinder head 3 is connected to the warm air 9, and the HVAC temperature control valve 8 is arranged in the warm air water inlet pipe;

[0056] The water jacket outlet of the cylinder head 3 is connected to the water inlet of the oil cooler 7, and the water outlet of the oil cooler 7 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 1;

[0057] The electronic thermostat 6 is connected to the water inlet of the radiator 10;

[0058] The bottom of the first expansion pot 12 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 1 , and the cover of the first expansion pot 12 is connected to the exhaust port of the radiator 10 , the exhaust port of the cylinder head 3 and the water outlet and exhaust port of the engine.

[0059] Figure 3 The engine accessory cooling system (i.e. low-temperature cooling system) is shown, which is composed of an electronic water pump, a supercharger, a water-cooled intercooler, a radiator (sub), and an expansion pot (sub). It is independent of the high-temperature cooling system and has a water circulation. The electronic water pump independently controls the coolant flow to cool the compressed air, and the water and air perform heat exchange. At the same time, the cooling circuit can also cool the supercharger to protect the intermediate bearing to operate normally. The specific structure is as follows:

[0060] The low temperature cooling system is composed of an electronic water pump 13, a water-cooled intercooler 14, a supercharger 15, a second expansion pot 16 and a low temperature radiator 17;

[0061] The inlet of the electronic water pump 13 is connected to the outlet of the low-temperature radiator 17 , and the outlet of the electronic water pump 13 is connected to the inlet of the water-cooled intercooler 14 ;

[0062] The outlet of the water-cooled intercooler 14 is connected to the second expansion pot 16;

[0063] The second expansion pot 16 is connected to the exhaust port of the low-temperature radiator 17;

[0064] The cooling water inlet of the supercharger 15 is connected to the water inlet of the water-cooled intercooler 14 , and the cooling water outlet of the supercharger 15 is connected to the water outlet of the water-cooled intercooler 14 .

[0065] Step S14: Usually, there are two circulation routes of the coolant in the water cooling system, one is the large circulation and the other is the small circulation. The two are distinguished by whether the coolant flows through the radiator, and the cooling intensity is also different. The small circulation means that the coolant circulates only inside the engine, while the large circulation means that the coolant circulates between the engine and the radiator. Therefore, it is necessary to draw different engine cooling system schematics according to the different routes and flow rates controlled by the thermostat to the radiator.

[0066] Step S141: Draw a schematic diagram of a small cycle of a high-temperature cooling system (coolant temperature < 50°C), such as Figure 4 As shown. The wax thermostat and the electronic thermostat are in the closed valve state, and the flow path to the radiator is disconnected. The HVAC temperature control valve is in the closed state. Even if the heater is turned on, the coolant in the HVAC pipe will not flow at this time. The cylinder water jacket outlet is also in the closed state at this moment because it has not reached the opening temperature of the wax thermostat. No coolant flows out, and the coolant in the cylinder water jacket heats up rapidly. The cylinder head water jacket coolant flows out normally, flows through the oil cooler to cool the engine oil to a certain extent, and finally flows back to the engine water pump. At this time, the water pump, cylinder head water jacket, and oil cooler form a loop, which ensures the cooling requirements of the cylinder head water jacket and the lubricating oil, and ensures that other systems quickly reach the optimal working state.

[0067] Step S142: Draw a schematic diagram of a small cycle of a high-temperature cooling system (50°C ≤ coolant temperature < 100°C), such as Figure 5 As shown. The wax thermostat and the electronic thermostat are in the closed valve state, and the flow path to the radiator is disconnected. The HVAC temperature control valve is in the open state, the coolant in the HVAC pipe begins to flow, and the oil cooler cools the oil to reduce the oil temperature. The cylinder water jacket outlet is in the closed state, no coolant flows out, and the coolant in the cylinder water jacket heats up rapidly. The cylinder head water jacket coolant flows out normally. At this time, the water pump, cylinder head water jacket, and oil cooler form a loop, which ensures the cooling demand of the cylinder head water jacket and ensures that the lubrication system is in the optimal working state.

[0068] Step S143: Draw a schematic diagram of a small cycle of a high-temperature cooling system (100°C ≤ coolant temperature < 103°C), such as Figure 6As shown. The electronic thermostat is in the closed valve state, and the path to the radiator is disconnected. The HVAC temperature control valve is in the open state, the coolant in the HVAC pipe begins to flow, and the oil cooler cools the oil to reduce the oil temperature. The wax thermostat is in the open valve state, the cylinder water jacket outlet is in the open state, the coolant flows out and merges with the cylinder head water jacket. At this time, the water pump, cylinder head water jacket, and cylinder water jacket form a loop, so that the temperature of the entire loop is maintained at the optimal working state of 100°C. At this time, the cylinder head temperature and cylinder body are at the optimal temperature, and the economy is the best.

[0069] Step S144: Draw a schematic diagram of the high-temperature cooling system large cycle (103°C ≤ coolant temperature), such as Figure 7 As shown. The electronic thermostat is in the open valve state, the path to the radiator is open, and the large circulation mode is turned on. The HVAC temperature control valve is in the open state, the coolant begins to flow in the HVAC pipe, and the oil cooler cools the oil to reduce the oil temperature. The wax thermostat is in the open valve state, the cylinder water jacket outlet is in the open state, the coolant flows out and merges with the cylinder head water jacket. At this time, the water pump, cylinder head water jacket, cylinder water jacket and radiator form a loop, so that the temperature of the entire loop begins to cool down and is adjusted to the optimal state.

[0070] Step S2: Arrange the cooling system pressure and flow measurement points

[0071] Based on the cooling system circulation mode and the utilization rate of cooling system parts, select the maximum range to arrange the measuring points.

[0072] like Figure 8As shown, the A1 measuring point is arranged between the radiator and the water pump connecting pipeline to measure the water inlet flow of the entire cooling water circuit; the A2 measuring point is arranged at the cylinder head water jacket outlet position to measure the cylinder head water jacket outlet flow; the A3 measuring point is arranged at the cylinder body water jacket outlet position to measure the cylinder body water jacket outlet flow; the A4 measuring point is arranged between the thermostat housing and the water pump pipeline to measure the small circulation water circuit flow; the A5 measuring point is arranged between the thermostat housing and the warm air pipeline to measure the coolant flow flowing to the warm air; the A6 measuring point is arranged between the engine water outlet and the radiator water inlet pipeline to measure the engine water outlet flow, the A7 measuring point is arranged between the cylinder head air pipe and the first expansion pot to measure the coolant flow in the air pipe; the A8 measuring point is arranged between the radiator air pipe and the first expansion pot to measure the coolant flow in the air pipe; the A9 measuring point is arranged between the first expansion pot and the water inlet of the water pump to measure the first expansion pot replenishment flow. The B1 measuring point is arranged between the radiator and the water pump connecting pipeline to measure the water pump inlet pressure; the B2 measuring point is arranged between the water pump outlet and the cylinder water inlet to measure the water pump outlet pressure; the B3 measuring point is arranged at the cylinder head water jacket outlet to measure the cylinder head water outlet pressure; the B4 measuring point is arranged at the cylinder water jacket outlet to measure the cylinder water jacket outlet pressure; the B5 measuring point is arranged on the warm air return pipe to measure the warm air return pipe pressure; the B6 measuring point is arranged behind the oil cooler to measure the pressure behind the oil cooler; the B7 measuring point is arranged between the engine water outlet and the radiator to measure the engine water outlet pressure.

[0073] Step S3: Test method

[0074] Step S31: Select a suitable flow sensor according to the cooling system component parameters of step S12. The present invention adopts electromagnetic flowmeters produced by Tokyo Metering, A1~A6 select electromagnetic flowmeters with a range of 250L / min, and A7 and A8 select electromagnetic flowmeters with a range of 55L / min.

[0075] Step S32: Select an external characteristic point in the engine speed range of 1000-6000 rpm for testing.

[0076] Step S33: Using the crankshaft pulley speed as a reference, the engine speed is measured using a bevel gauge.
