Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plunger pump testing technology, and in particular to a high-pressure distribution plate cavitation visualization test device. Background Technology

[0002] The slipper pair, plunger pair, and distribution pair are the three most important friction pairs in an axial piston pump. For the distribution pair, when the fluid in the plunger cavity passes through the throttling groove of the distribution plate, the fluid velocity increases dramatically. According to the principle of energy conservation, the fluid pressure will decrease. When the fluid pressure drops to its saturated vapor pressure, cavitation occurs. Cavitation leads to vibration, noise, and other issues, thus affecting the efficiency and lifespan of the axial piston pump. Therefore, research on distribution plate cavitation is of great significance. Currently, cavitation tests on axial piston pump distribution plates mostly involve monitoring pump outlet pressure or flow pulsation to determine cavitation phenomena. Research on cavitation visualization is limited. The paper "Visual Analysis of Cavitation Flow Inside an Axial Piston Pump" visualized the entire pump, using acrylic sheets for the pump casing and rear cover, and transparent resin material for the distribution plate. However, using transparent materials can cause leakage and insufficient pressure resistance; therefore, only tests at 3MPa and 5MPa were conducted. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a high-pressure distribution plate cavitation visualization test device, including an upper cover 1, a transparent mechanism 2 abutting the bottom center of the upper cover 1, a base 3 detachably connected to the bottom of the upper cover 1, a sink 32 opened in the center of the base 3, and the transparent mechanism 2 located in the sink 32.

[0027] The upper cover 1 and the base 3 of this invention are detachably connected, which facilitates adjustment during the test. The transparent mechanism 2 is located between the upper cover 1 and the base 3. The base 3 has a sink 32 in the center. By observing the transparent mechanism 2 in the sink 32, the cavitation phenomenon can be observed, thereby completing the visualization test. This allows for the investigation of the cavitation phenomenon under different load pressures, thereby improving the efficiency and life of the axial piston pump.

[0028] To further optimize the design, a square groove 22 is formed at the center of the top surface of the transparent mechanism 2, and a throttling groove 21 is formed on one side of the square groove 22. The throttling groove 21 and the square groove 22 respectively abut against the upper cover 1. Cavitation occurs at the throttling groove 21. By observing the cavitation phenomenon of the throttling groove 21, the structure of the throttling groove 21 can be optimized to improve the cavitation phenomenon.

[0029] Further optimization of the design: the transparent mechanism 2 is made of sapphire, acrylic, or transparent resin. The transparent mechanism 2, made of transparent material, facilitates observation of the throttling groove 21.

[0030] Further optimization of the design: The top surface of the upper cover 1 has several through holes 11 circumferentially oriented, which are detachably connected to the base 3. An oil outlet 12 is located on one side of the center of the upper cover 1, abutting against the throttling groove 21. An oil inlet 13 is located on the other side of the center of the upper cover 1, connected to the oil supply pump. Both the oil inlet 13 and the oil outlet 12 are standard hydraulic threaded holes; the oil inlet 13 is M27×1.5, and the oil outlet 12 is M30×1.5. If the pipe fittings do not interfere with the installation, the hole diameter can be changed according to actual conditions. The oil inlet 13 is connected to the oil supply pump, and the oil outlet 12 is connected to the oil tank. An overflow valve (not shown in the figure) is installed between the oil outlet 12 and the oil tank to change the oil pressure. The upper part of the oil inlet 13 is a cylindrical hole, and the lower part is an oblong hole, to simulate the shape of a plunger cavity.

[0031] Further optimization of the design: A boss 15 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the top cover 1. A sealing ring groove 16 is circumferentially formed on the bottom surface of the boss 15, which is compatible with the square groove 22. A waist-shaped hole 14 is formed on one side of the bottom surface of the boss 15, located inside the sealing ring groove 16, and abuts against the throttling groove 21. The hydraulic oil flow process is as follows: the oil supply pump presses the hydraulic oil into the oil inlet 13, then flows into the throttling groove 21 through the waist-shaped hole 14, flows from the throttling groove 21 into the square groove 22, and finally flows out from the oil outlet 12; the sealing ring groove 16 can be fitted with an O-ring or a rectangular sealing ring to ensure its airtightness; the boss 15 is used to press down the transparent mechanism 2 in the middle.

[0032] The design was further optimized, and the top cover 1 was made of alloy steel such as 45 steel.

[0033] In a further optimized design, the top surface of the base 3 is provided with several threaded holes 31 circumferentially. The threaded holes 31 are detachably connected to the through holes 11 by bolts. The bolts connect the upper cover 1 and the base 3 through the through holes 11 of the upper cover 1 and the threaded holes 31 of the base 3. The bolts can be selected as internal hexagonal or external hexagonal bolts.

[0034] Further optimizing the design, a first observation hole 33 is provided at the bottom of the base 3, located at the bottom of the sink 32, directly opposite the throttling groove 21. A second observation hole 34 is provided on the side wall of the base 3, also directly opposite the throttling groove 21. Both the first and second observation holes 33 and 34 are for observing the cavitation phenomenon of the throttling groove 21, providing a more detailed view of the cavitation phenomenon from different directions. The length of the sink 32 is greater than the length of the intermediate transparent mechanism 2, allowing the intermediate transparent mechanism 2 to move within the sink 32 to change the contact length between the waist-shaped hole 14 and the throttling groove 21.

[0035] The design was further optimized, and the base 3 was made of alloy steel such as 45 steel.
