Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.
[0023] Embodiment 1
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 A marine engine piston life test device, comprising: a base 1, an installation frame 2 is installed above the base 1; a test seat 3 and an air storage tank 6 are installed above the base 1; the test seat 3 is provided with a test hole (equivalent to the hole of the cylinder sleeve, so that the tested piston fits) at the top, the air storage tank 6 is communicated with the test hole of the test seat 3 through a pipeline, and a valve is arranged on the pipeline to control the opening and closing of the air storage tank 6, and the air storage tank 6 is provided with an air inlet for supplementing air into the air storage tank 6.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 4 A heating sheet 18 (an electric heating sheet) is installed in the air storage tank 6; a moving piece 4 is slidably arranged on the installation frame 2, and the moving piece 4 can move up and down at the installation frame 2; a fixing piece 5 is arranged at the bottom end of the moving piece 4, and the fixing piece 5 is used for fixing the tested piston and is directly above the test hole.
[0026] In this embodiment, as a further optimized scheme, please refer to Figure 1 The moving piece 4 comprises a rod piece and a moving sleeve slidably arranged on the bottom end of the rod piece, and a bolt is screwed on the moving sleeve to fix the moving sleeve; by changing the position of the moving sleeve, the length of the moving piece 4 can be adjusted according to the requirement, so that one end of the piston can be inserted into the test hole at the beginning of the test, and the piston can be completely removed from the test hole after the test is completed.
[0027] In this embodiment, as a further optimized scheme, please refer to Figure 1 The installation frame 2 is rotatably installed on the base 1; so that the fixing piece 5 can be rotated to the upper side of the test seat 3, or the fixing piece 5 can be rotated away from the upper side of the test seat 3.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2 A rack 8 is arranged on the side wall of the moving piece 4, a driving piece 9 is arranged on the installation frame 2, a missing tooth gear 10 (only a part of teeth is arranged on the outer side of the gear, and the teeth are arranged in an arc shape on the outer side of the gear) is arranged on the output shaft of the driving piece 9, and the missing tooth gear 10 is engaged with the rack 8; a connecting block 11 is arranged on the installation frame 2, and an elastic piece 12 is arranged between the connecting block 11 and the installation frame 2.
[0029] It is to be noted that after the piston to be tested is fixed on the fixing member 5, the moving member 4 is adjusted so that the piston to be tested is inserted into the test hole on the test seat 3; then the valve is opened, the air inside the air storage tank 6 enters the test hole, and the heating sheet 18 is opened to heat the air inside the air storage tank 6, so that the test hole is in a high-temperature and high-pressure condition (simulating the working environment of the piston); then the driving member 9 works, the missing tooth gear 10 rotates, when the teeth of the missing tooth gear 10 contact the rack 8, the moving member 4 with the fixing member 5 and the piston will move downward, when the missing tooth gear 10 continues to rotate and the teeth of the missing tooth gear 10 do not contact the rack 8, the moving member 4 loses the downward pressure, under the action of the elastic member 12, the moving member 4 with the fixing member 5 and the piston moves upward; the driving member 9 drives the missing tooth gear 10 to continuously rotate, so that the piston moves up and down in the test hole for testing; in the process of moving the piston downward, the driving member 9 drives the moving, in the process of moving the piston upward, the teeth of the missing tooth gear 10 do not contact the rack 8, the piston is pushed by the air pressure inside the test hole and the elastic member 12 (the piston moves downward, the space inside the test hole is reduced, the pressure inside the test hole is further increased, which provides an upward pushing force for the piston; and the piston moves downward, which also compresses the elastic member 12, after the moving member 4 loses the downward driving force, the elastic member 12 is elastically reset, which provides an upward force for the moving member 4, the fixing member 5 and the piston), which reduces the burden of the driving mechanism and avoids damage to the driving member 9, and reasonably utilizes the pressure.
[0030] In this embodiment, as a further optimized scheme, please refer to Figure 2 , the connecting block 11 and the mounting frame 2 are provided with the telescopic member 13 (the telescopic member 13 includes a telescopic mother rod and a telescopic son rod slidingly inserted into the telescopic mother rod), the telescopic length of the telescopic member 13 is used to limit the upward movement amplitude of the moving member 4; the speed limiting mechanism 14 is arranged on the mounting frame 2;
[0031] Please refer to Figure 6, the speed limiting mechanism 14 comprises a sleeve 142 mounted on the mounting frame 2, a contact piece 141 is slidably arranged in the sleeve 142, a spring piece is arranged between the contact piece 141 and the sleeve 142, and an end of the contact piece 141 away from the sleeve 142 is attached to the side wall of the telescopic sub-rod; the mounting frame 2 is provided with a mounting piece 143, a push rod 144 and a movable rod 146 are slidably arranged on the mounting piece 143, the push rod 144 and the movable rod 146 move in the same direction as the contact piece 141, one end of the push rod 144 is connected with the contact piece 141, and a reset spring is arranged between the movable rod 146 and the mounting piece 143; the mounting piece 143 is rotatably provided with a winding piece 147, a torsion spring is arranged between the mounting piece 143 and the winding piece 147, a connecting rope 145 is wound on the winding piece 147, and two ends of the connecting rope 145 are connected with the push rod 144 and the movable rod 146 respectively; a protrusion is arranged on the side wall of the moving piece 4, and the protrusion is in contact with the end of the movable rod 146 during the up-down movement of the moving piece 4;

[0033] It should be noted that the convex block will contact the guide block 1462 of the movable rod 146 during the downward movement of the moving part 4, and will extrude the guide block 1462 downward, so that the guide block 1462 rotates downward, which will not affect the downward movement of the moving part 4, and at this time the movable rod 146 will not move; during the upward movement of the moving part 4 (the movable rod 146 is in a lower position, and the convex block can contact the guide block 1462 when the moving part 4 starts to move upward), the convex block will contact the inclined surface of the guide block 1462 of the movable rod 146, and at this time the guide block 1462 cannot rotate, and during the upward movement of the moving part 4 and the convex block, the movable rod 146 will move, pull the connecting rope 145, and make the winding part 147 rotate, so that the connecting rope 145 releases the pulling force on the push rod 144, and through the action of the spring part, the contact part 141 moves to contact the side wall of the telescopic sub-rod, and the friction force between the two contacts is used to reduce the movement speed of the telescopic sub-rod, so that the upward movement speed of the moving part 4 will not be too fast (when the piston starts to move upward, the pressure in the test hole is the largest, and the compression amplitude of the elastic part 12 is the largest, at this time the upward movement speed of the piston will be too fast, and the speed will slowly decrease), so as to avoid that the speed is too fast and the reciprocating speed of the piston in the test hole is relatively large (if the speed is too fast, the moving part 4 will quickly move to the predetermined area, and the driving part 9 drives), so as to avoid affecting the accuracy of the piston test; after the convex block passes the movable rod 146, the movable rod 146 is reset under the action of the reset spring, the winding part 147 is reset under the action of the torsional spring, the connecting rope 145 pulls the push rod 144 and the contact part 141 to reset, so that the contact part 141 does not contact or has small contact pressure with the telescopic sub-rod, which does not affect the normal upward movement of the piston.

[0035] In this embodiment, as a further optimized scheme, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , a recess 16 is arranged in the test hole of the test seat 3, and a temperature sensor 15 is arranged in the recess 16; the temperature sensor 15 is electrically connected to a controller 7 (the controller 7 refers to a PLC controller, and the specific model is S7-300), and the controller 7 is electrically connected to a heating sheet 18; because the piston moves back and forth, the temperature in the test hole rises, and the temperature of the air in the test hole rises, the temperature sensor 15 transmits the detected temperature information to the controller 7, when the air temperature rises, the heating sheet 18 is controlled to reduce the heating temperature, and vice versa, so that the heating sheet 18 is not constant in heating temperature, and energy is saved.
[0036] In this embodiment, as a further optimized scheme, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , an installation sleeve 22 is arranged on the gas storage tank 6, a limiting rod 23 is slidably arranged in the installation sleeve 22, the moving direction of the limiting rod 23 is the same as the moving direction of the pressing plate 17, and the limiting rod 23 is above the pressing plate 17 (according to Figure 4The spring is arranged between the mounting sleeve 22 and the limiting rod 23; a plurality of groups of slots 24 are formed in the side wall of the mounting sleeve 22, the limiting rod 23 is hingedly connected with a stop block 25, a limiting spring is arranged between the limiting rod 23 and the stop block 25 (the limiting spring pulls the stop block 25 to move towards the side wall of the limiting rod 23), a heat expansion member is arranged on the side wall of the limiting rod 23, the heat expansion member is arranged between the stop block 25 and the limiting rod 23, the limiting rod 23 is a metal heat conducting member (such as iron, copper or the like), the heat expansion member comprises a box body and a pressing member slidingly arranged in the box body, a liquid is filled between the box body and the pressing member, the box body is a metal heat conducting member (such as iron, copper or the like), when the temperature in the test hole and the gas storage tank 6 rises, the temperature is transmitted to the heat expansion member through the limiting rod 23, so that the heat expansion member expands (the liquid in the box body expands, pushes the pressing member to move outwardly, and the pressing member and the box body are sealed), the stop block 25 is pushed outwardly, when the stop block 25 corresponds to the slots 24, the stop block 25 is inserted into the slots 24, so as to prevent the limiting rod 23 from moving upwardly, at this time, the pressing plate 17 also cannot move upwardly, so that the pressing plate 17 is prevented from moving upwardly to cause the internal gas pressure of the test hole to drop (when the pressing plate 17 moves downwardly, the spring pulls the limiting rod 23 to move downwardly).
