[0030] The oil pump is an important part of the lubrication system of the internal combustion engine. Its function is to increase the oil pressure and ensure a certain oil pressure, and continuously force the oil to be supplied to each friction surface, so that the internal combustion engine can be reliably lubricated, thereby reducing the friction and wear of the parts. "If the amount of lubricating oil supplied is insufficient, then the most carefully designed structure, the best bearing material, the most sophisticated processing technology, the most suitable matching and the highest quality oil will still not work. The key to the safe operation of the bearing is the viscosity and quantity of the lubricating medium."

[0031] The oil pump working characteristics can be expressed as , where Q is the oil supply, n is the speed, T is the oil temperature, p s is the pump outlet pressure. Since the pump outlet pressure p s >>Suction pressure p i , available p s Instead of full pressure △p, it is measured through speed characteristics, pressure characteristics, oil temperature characteristics and general characteristics tests. Among them, the general characteristics test combines the results of speed characteristics, pressure characteristics and oil temperature characteristics tests, and can obtain the performance of the oil pump within the allowable operating speed and pump pressure range at the specified test oil temperature. Specifically, the general characteristics test measures and records the relevant parameters such as oil supply, pump pressure, oil temperature and speed under various working conditions under variable speed, variable load and variable oil temperature conditions.

At present, the performance test of the internal combustion engine transmission oil pump is mainly designed and manufactured according to the standard.

Its working principle is as follows: the oil pump under test is installed on the test seat and rotates under the drive of the drive motor, and the speed is read by the torque-speed measuring instrument. During the rotation of the oil pump under test, a local vacuum is formed due to the increase in the sealed volume to generate negative pressure, and the oil enters the oil pump under test through the oil suction filter to achieve oil suction, and the vacuum pressure gauge reads the oil inlet pressure. The temperature and pressure of the oil outlet of the oil pump under test are read by the thermometer and the pressure gauge. The oil outlet is adjusted by the regulating valve to adjust the flow rate, and the flow meter is connected through the reversing valve. The reading of the flow meter can be used to calculate and judge whether the oil pump flow rate is qualified; the relief valve plays a role of overflow and pressure stabilization; the constant temperature of the oil in the oil tank is guaranteed by the thermostat, and the thermometer is used to measure the temperature of the oil. In general, the oil outlet pipeline of the above-mentioned test device is a single pipeline, usually with a diameter of DN20, which cannot take into account the accurate measurement of large and small flows; there is only an oil suction filter on the inlet pipeline of the oil pump under test, the oil change frequency is high, the test oil cost is high, and the utilization rate is low; the temperature of the constant temperature device is controlled at ±2℃, and the accuracy is not high; the oil pump is clamped manually, which is inefficient.

It is hoped that through the design of the oil pump performance test system and the use of the test system to detect the performance, the design can be optimized, the efficiency can be improved, energy can be saved and consumption can be reduced, and the efficient operation of the vehicle can be ensured, while reducing costs and achieving the purpose of safety and reliability.

[0049] The two sub-pipelines include an oil outlet pipeline with a diameter of DN20 and an oil outlet pipeline with a diameter of DN10, and the corresponding flow measurement ranges are 6L / min to 100L / min and 0.1L / min to 30L / min respectively.

[0050] The two sub-pipelines use a mass flow meter 7 and 9 respectively, with a flow detection accuracy of ±0.2%, which takes into account the accurate measurement of large flow (100L / min) and small flow (2L / min).

[0051] The mass flow meters 7, 9 are automatically selected by the control device according to the flow rate, or are manually selected by the operator on the display page.

[0052] The mass flow meters 7, 9 measure the flow data of the corresponding sub-pipelines and transmit the flow data to the control device, which compares the measured flow data with the preset flow value. When the absolute value of the difference between the two is greater than 0.2%, the opening of the valve 20 of the first regulating valve 6, 8 is adjusted to change the flow of the corresponding sub-pipelines, thereby realizing the control of the oil supply of the tested oil pump 4.

[0053] For mass flow meters 7 and 9, stainless steel high-pressure and high-temperature pneumatic ball valves are used.
