TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of outboard motor testing, and particularly relates to an outboard motor assembly test bench and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The fast boat has the advantages of light weight and high speed, and is currently a main water light transport tool in the military and civilian markets. Since the outboard motor has the characteristics of fast installation and combinable use, it becomes a main power type of the fast boat. Users can combine different numbers of outboard motors to meet the use requirements according to the matching speed and transport load of the boat power demand. At present, the diesel-powered outboard motor assembly is designed with multiple power gears in the power range of 35kW-250kW. In order to meet the performance verification of multiple power ranges in research and development, the test bench is generally configured to cover the maximum power range, and at the same time, the transient test requirements such as economy and emission are often met by using an electric dynamometer. This results in a large inertia of the dynamometer itself. When the small-power outboard motor assembly is used in a large inertia system, the secondary driving of the outboard motor gearbox by the dynamometer directly causes damage to the transmission parts of the gearbox. When the outboard motor is directly driven by the starting motor, the overload of the motor driving force causes damage to the motor parts. In addition, the load characteristics of the outboard motor are the characteristics of the propeller propulsion, and the driving capacity increases with the increase of the speed. When the controller verifies the performance of the outboard motor in the constant torque mode, the overloading fluctuation caused by the inertia makes the outboard motor unable to maintain the minimum working speed, so that the "pressure extinction" often occurs, which brings hidden dangers to the operation safety of the outboard motor in verification.
[0003] In order to meet the adaptation of the high-power outboard motor dynamometer system to the multi-power outboard motor, and at the same time, to meet the effective verification of the economy and emission transient performance, and to effectively avoid the application deficiency of the large inertia characteristics of the electric dynamometer to the starting and constant load control of the outboard motor, the control strategy is used to compensate the adaptability of the electric dynamometer with large power configuration in the performance verification of the outboard motor. In the starting process, the outboard motor assembly is directly started and enters the clutch matching speed after the warm-up. The electric dynamometer enters the driving mode and enters the corresponding speed of the outboard motor. The clutch access time is identified and determined through the control strategy, so that the outboard motor has the performance verification state of the test bench. In the constant load mode, according to the preset power parameters, the inertia parameters of the outboard motor and the electric dynamometer, a preset control ring is designed to reduce the load overshoot in the control process, meet the transient performance requirements of the diesel engine, avoid the "extinction" failure in the verification of the outboard motor assembly, and protect the general design test room of the outboard motor.
[0004] Due to the compensation effect of the motor power, the performance of the outboard motor assembly is verified by using the motor driving mode, and the verified indicators such as power performance, economy and emission of the outboard motor are affected to different degrees. Specifically, in the high acceleration process, the motor has a large performance compensation, and the verified economy and emission indicators are small. In the low acceleration process, the motor inertia hinders the power response, and the verified economy and emission indicators are large. When the load mode of the motor is switched, due to the power limitation of the small power section of the outboard motor, the stable speed cannot be maintained until the power is turned off. At present, the test room of each enterprise designs a small inertia dynamometer unit, and the small power outboard motor is mainly based on a hydraulic dynamometer, which limits the performance verification function and the test room does not have universality.

[0051] The water tank 2 side wall is provided with an axle hole, the connecting shaft 34 is located in the axle hole, and the axle hole is provided with a water seal 35.
[0052] The control unit 8 is the man-machine interface of the outboard engine test bench. Four control parameters, including engine power map, outboard engine assembly 9 rotational inertia, outboard engine constant speed ratio coefficient 12 and dynamometer 7 inertia, need to be input before the test.

[0053] As shown in Figure 4 , a starting control method of an outboard engine assembly 9 test bench is provided:
[0054] The engine of the outboard engine is electrically started in a state without load, and enters a warm-up operating speed. When the lubricating oil temperature of the engine system reaches 60℃, the dynamometer 7 controller issues an instruction to switch the frequency converter controller 72 to a driving mode, i.e. the motor works in the first quadrant (positive speed, positive torque) to actively work. According to the constant speed ratio coefficient of the outboard engine gearbox, the speed setting requirement of the dynamometer 7 controller is adjusted (the conversion relationship is engine speed * constant speed ratio coefficient = dynamometer 7 control target speed). When the speed difference between the outboard engine and the dynamometer 7 is less than 10r / min and can be continuously and stably for 3 minutes, it is indicated that the access state is enabled and the test bench synchronization command button is enabled, and the operation personnel control the access command;
[0055] When the operation personnel needs the outboard engine to access the test bench, the manual or automatic access mode is selected to enter the access working logic;
[0056] When the automatic access working logic is selected, the dynamometer 7 controller drives the gear execution mechanism 93 to engage the gear of the outboard engine, and issues an instruction to switch the frequency converter controller 72 to an absorption mode, i.e. the motor works in the second quadrant (positive speed, negative torque). The dynamometer 7 controller is adjusted to a constant speed control mode (a / n). The dynamometer 7 controller calculates the assembly output shaft speed according to the engine speed and assigns a value to the speed setting value of the dynamometer 7 controller. The dynamometer 7 controller calculates the throttle 95 position according to the engine and dynamometer 7 inertia and assigns an initial value. The dynamometer 7 controller further adjusts the throttle 95 position until the engine speed returns to the state before adjustment. During the adjustment process, the engine speed is monitored. When the engine speed is lower than 500r / min, the dynamometer 7 controller controls the gear execution mechanism 93 to disengage the gear. The test bench central control system indicates that the performance test is not ready, and the dynamometer 7 system is reset;
[0057] The throttle 95 position initial value algorithm is:
[0058]
[0059] In the formula: α is the throttle position, I T is the inertia of the electric dynamometer, I e is the inertia of the engine.
[0060] When the manual access working logic is selected, the dynamometer 7 controller drives the gear execution mechanism 93 to engage the outboard engine, issues an instruction to switch the frequency converter controller 72 to the absorption mode, adjusts the dynamometer 7 controller to the constant speed control mode (a / n), calculates the total assembly output shaft speed according to the engine speed by the dynamometer 7 controller, and assigns the speed set value of the dynamometer 7 controller, the throttle 95 position is not automatically controlled, and the operator adjusts it according to the needs, monitors the engine speed during operation, when the engine speed is lower than 500 r / min, the dynamometer 7 controller controls the gear execution mechanism 93 to disengage the gear, the test bench central control system indicates that the performance test is not ready, and the dynamometer 7 system resets;
[0061] As shown in Figure 5 , a kind of outboard engine assembly 9 test bench load mode control method:
[0062] S1, input torque set value in the man-machine interaction section of control unit 8, control unit 8 compares torque set value with torque limit value in step length coefficient operator, calculates control process increment;
[0063] S2, the torque actual value of dynamometer 7 is input into the Lobry integral operator and divided by sampling period to obtain stable torque actual value;
[0064] S3, step length coefficient operator output is input into trapezoidal integrator I after being subtracted from stable torque actual value, and integral difference number is obtained;
[0065] S4, control process increment is input into pre-gain operator KP, and pre-gain ratio number is obtained;
[0066] S5, stable torque actual value is input into differentiator D and is compared with pre-control coefficient TV, and differential difference number is obtained;
[0067] S6, pre-gain ratio number and differential difference number are subtracted and input into proportioner k for operation, and PD difference number is obtained;
[0068] S7, integral difference number and PD difference number are summed and input into decoupling differentiator TD and divided by decoupling pre-control coefficient TTV, and decoupling difference number is obtained;
[0069] S8, decoupling difference number is input into decoupling gain Kc, frequency converter control command is obtained, and is input into frequency converter controller 72.

[0071] S10, decoupling differentiator TD, decoupling pre-control coefficient TTV and decoupling gain Kc, for the disturbance exit of the engine test control of the outboard motor, so that the system quickly enters the stable state;
[0072] S11, the output value of the torque limit value is an over-limit output, the over-limit output parameter is the engine speed collected by the dynamometer controller 71, and the torque result obtained by the engine POWERE MAP difference method input in the control unit 8 is used as the torque limiter limit value. When the actual torque value exceeds the torque limiter limit value, the torque limiter output value Mdf is calculated according to the formula: Wherein Ie is the engine inertia; Id is the inertia of the dynamometer; is the speed change, and the deceleration is negative and the acceleration is positive.
[0073] The dynamometer control method mainly compensates for the deficiency of the power dynamometer with large power configuration in the performance verification of the outboard motor through the control strategy. When starting, the matching degree of the diesel engine output power and the load inertia is identified, and after synchronization, the outboard motor power system is connected to the test bench, and the load matching adjustment is started to control the stable diesel engine working condition. When the large inertia dynamometer 7 works in the load mode, the model control ring is introduced, the preset adjustment amount is introduced, and after the power dynamometer 7 enters the suitable control working area, the classic system control is carried out, so as to avoid the load overshoot to cause the insufficient transient performance verification of the diesel engine and the caused flameout. Finally, the large inertia dynamometer system can meet the speed control precision ±1r / min and the torque control precision ±3N·m for the outboard motor in different power sections.
