[0002] The test engine differs from the target engine in structure and test conditions. Due to its unique structure, it is difficult for the test engine to achieve complete consistency with the performance of the target engine, especially in the intake and exhaust systems. To more realistically simulate the exhaust resistance generated by the turbocharger, EGR and other units connected to the exhaust pipe of the target engine, the test engine is often designed with a back pressure adjustment device after the exhaust pipe. By adjusting the back pressure adjustment device, the exhaust pressure of the test engine is made consistent with that of the target engine, thereby achieving consistency between the performance of the test engine and the target engine.

[0003] An existing low-pressure simulation test bench for internal combustion engine characteristics comprises an intake simulation device, an exhaust back pressure regulating device, an atmospheric back pressure regulating device within the engine crankcase, and a low-pressure starting device simulating a high-altitude environment. The exhaust back pressure regulating device consists of an exhaust pressure stabilizing cylinder, a vacuum device connected to it via a pipeline, and an exhaust pressure regulating valve installed on the pipeline. The low-pressure test bench can simulate atmospheric pressure at different altitudes. However, the exhaust back pressure regulating device disclosed in the aforementioned prior art suffers from technical problems such as slow exhaust back pressure adjustment and difficulty in accurately controlling the exhaust back pressure. Summary of the Invention

The bushing is fixedly connected to the flange bushing; the flange bushing passes through the outer wall of the bend (8) and is fixed; the large throttle valve shaft (7) is a hollow cylindrical structure, one end passes through the sealing bushing (13) and is fixed, and the other end is fixedly connected to the large throttle valve (4); one end of the small throttle valve shaft (17) passes through the center hole of the large throttle valve shaft (7) and is fixed, and the other end is fixedly connected to the small throttle valve (3) set in the throttle pipe (1); during the test, by adjusting the position of the large throttle valve shaft 7 and the small throttle valve shaft 17, the position adjustment of the large throttle valve 4 and the small throttle valve 3 in the throttle pipe 1 is realized, thereby realizing the accurate measurement of the exhaust back pressure.

[0006] Beneficial effects: This invention achieves the adjustment and locking of the required back pressure by rotating the large throttle valve shaft and the small throttle valve shaft, thereby adjusting the different positions of the large and small throttle valves within the cone surface of the throttle tube.

The sealing end face of the boss is pressed and fitted with the locking nut I (2).

[0041] The installation method of this invention is as follows:

[0042] First, screw the flange bushing nut 9 onto the flange bushing thread of the flange bushing 10, screwing it into the root of the thread. Then, screw the flange bushing 10 with the bushing nut 9 into the threaded support port of the bend pipe 8, rotating it until the gap from the bushing nut 9 is 5mm. Then, use the corresponding wrench to unscrew the bushing nut 9 in the opposite direction until it fits and is pressed against the end face of the threaded support port of the bend pipe 8.

[0043] Subsequently, copper gasket II is inserted into the inner hole of the installed flange bushing 10. Using a long-handled tool, it is gently pushed until it contacts the sealing bottom surface of the inner hole. Then, sealing bushing 13 is inserted into the inner hole of flange bushing 10. Sealing bushing 13 is pushed until the bottom sealing surface of sealing bushing is in close contact with copper gasket II. The sealing bushing flange of sealing bushing 13 is rotated so that its locking hole corresponds to the threaded hole on the locking threaded flange of flange bushing 10. Sealing bushing 13 and flange bushing 10 are tightened with four M8 standard bolts. The torque is measured with a torque wrench and is 30 Nm.

[0044] Then, place the copper washer I onto the sealing surface of the large throttle valve 4, and then screw the bottom locking thread of the large throttle valve shaft 7 into the internal thread of the large throttle valve 4 until the bottom surface of the large throttle valve shaft 7 contacts the copper washer I. Use a wrench to lock the locking plane of the large throttle valve shaft 7, and at the same time turn the large throttle valve 4 to press the bottom surface of the large throttle valve shaft 7 tightly against the copper washer.

[0045] Insert the large throttle valve shaft 7 component, which has been installed in the above steps, into the bottom hole of the installed flange bushing 10 in the reverse direction, and then through the bottom hole of the installed sealing bushing 13 until the long thread on the end face of the large throttle valve shaft 7 contacts the internal thread hole of the sealing bushing 13. Rotate the large throttle valve shaft 7 component to rotate it out of the flange end face of the sealing bushing 13. Then screw the flange bushing nut 9 into the long thread on the end face of the large throttle valve shaft 7 that protrudes from the flange of the sealing bushing 13. Screw the bushing nut 9 close to the hexagonal fastening surface. Then use a wrench to turn the hexagonal fastening surface of the large throttle valve shaft 7 component until the sealing surface of the bushing nut 9 is 10mm away from the sealing surface of the threaded support port of the bend 8. Keep the wrench in place and fix the large throttle valve shaft 7. Use the wrench to turn the bushing nut 9 out in the reverse direction until it is pressed tightly against the sealing surface of the threaded support port of the bend 8.

[0046] Subsequently, screw the locking nut I onto the threaded end face of the small throttle valve on the small throttle valve shaft 17, bringing it close to the fastening plane of the small throttle valve. Then, screw the internal threaded hole of the boss of the small throttle valve 3 into the threaded hole on the end face of the small throttle valve on the small throttle valve shaft 17. Use a wrench to tighten the small throttle valve on the fastening plane of the small throttle valve on the small throttle valve shaft 17, and turn the small throttle valve 3 to press it tightly against the small throttle valve shaft 17. Keeping the wrench fixed on the small throttle valve shaft 17, use the wrench to unscrew the locking nut I in the opposite direction, pressing it tightly against the sealing end face of the boss of the small throttle valve 3. Insert the installed small throttle valve shaft 17 into the large throttle valve shaft 7, inserting it from the sealing bottom surface of the large throttle valve shaft 7 until the external thread of the small throttle valve shaft 17 contacts the internal thread hole of the sealing bushing 13. Move the small throttle valve shaft 17 to unscrew the flange end face of the sealing bushing 13. Screw the lock nut I into the small throttle valve external thread protruding from the flange end face of the small throttle valve shaft 17. Use a wrench to press the end face of the lock nut I tightly against the hexagonal fastening end face of the large throttle valve shaft 7.

[0047] Place the sealing gasket 15 into the recessed stop of the installed bend 8. Then, insert the boss stop on the large flange side of the throttle tube 1 into the recessed stop of the bend 8. Rotate the throttle tube 1 so that the light hole on its large flange is aligned with the light hole on the end flange of the bend 8. At the same time, make sure to rotate the three measuring points on the cylindrical tube of the throttle tube 1 to the top. Finally, use six M10 standard bolts and M10 standard nuts to connect the bend 8 component and the throttle tube 1 and press them tightly together. This completes the installation of a two-stage back pressure regulating mechanism.

[0048] During the test, the exhaust pressure was measured through the exhaust pipe. If it is necessary to increase or decrease the exhaust back pressure, simply loosen the bushing nut 9 and the locking nut I with a wrench, adjust the position of the large throttle valve shaft 7 and the small throttle valve shaft 17, and adjust the position of the large throttle valve 4 and the small throttle valve 3 in the throttle pipe 1, thereby achieving accurate measurement of the exhaust back pressure (clockwise rotation increases the back pressure, counterclockwise rotation decreases the back pressure).

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
