Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engine testing technology, specifically to an engine degradation testing method, apparatus, electronic equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the logistics industry widely uses heavy-duty commercial vehicles equipped with diesel engines. These vehicles commonly experience hot shutdowns after high-speed, high-load operation (e.g., when a driver stops at a service area to refuel or rest after prolonged high-speed driving on a highway). Under these conditions, the engine abruptly switches from a high-speed, high-load operating state to a shutdown state. Since the engine generates significant heat during high-speed, high-load operation, and the engine's cooling and lubrication system operates at a high load, the sudden shutdown causes the oil pump, water pump, and fan to cease functioning. This results in a sudden and significant reduction in the cooling and lubrication intensity of the engine's moving parts, leading to a sudden and significant decrease in the thickness of the oil film on the surfaces of these moving parts, and further reducing the oil film thickness in the engine combustion chamber. The coolant flow rate in the cylinder head nose area will also suddenly decrease significantly, which poses a significant challenge to the reliability of the engine's intake and exhaust systems, piston power cylinder system, valve train, and engine gaskets, thus affecting the overall engine reliability. The standard vehicle reliability tests during the development of this type of vehicle lack specific hot shutdown verification tests, and the current standard vehicle reliability tests have extremely limited verification effect for this operating condition. At present, engine manufacturers also generally lack corresponding specific hot shutdown bench verification tests. Therefore, it is necessary to design an engine hot shutdown degradation test method to verify the reliability and durability of the engine after hot shutdown under extreme thermal and mechanical load conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an engine degradation test method, apparatus, electronic equipment and storage medium to evaluate the durability of an engine under extreme thermal and mechanical load conditions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an engine degradation test method, comprising:

[0006] S110. Control the engine to run for a first duration at a first speed and a first load, run for a second duration at a low idle speed, and remain stopped for a third duration, and obtain the measured value corresponding to the first test parameter; the low idle speed is the engine's idle speed when it is not under load;

[0007] S120. After obtaining the measured value corresponding to the first test parameter and determining that the first test power of the engine is less than or equal to the preset first rated power threshold of the engine, the engine is controlled to run for a first time at the second speed and the second load, run for a second time at low idle speed, and remain stopped for a third time, and the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter is obtained.

[0008] S130. After obtaining the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter and determining that the second test power of the engine is less than or equal to the preset second rated power threshold of the engine, the engine is controlled to run for a first time at the third speed and the third load, run for a second time at low idle speed and remain stopped for a third time, and the measured value corresponding to the third test parameter is obtained.

[0009] S140.

[0033] The preset theoretical values ​​of the restriction parameters are respectively set with corresponding theoretical values ​​for warning restriction, interruption restriction, and emergency restriction.

[0034] Furthermore,

[0035] The first rated power of the engine is the engine's indicated rated power, and the value range of the engine's indicated rated power is [350, 400].

[0036] The second rated power of the engine is the maximum rated power of the engine, and the maximum rated power of the engine has a value range of [390, 400].

[0038] Secondly, the present invention also provides an engine degradation testing apparatus, comprising:

[0039] The first control unit is used to control the engine to run for a first duration at a first speed and a first load, run for a second duration at low idle speed, and remain stopped for a third duration, and to obtain the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameters; the low idle speed is the engine's idle speed when it is not under load.

[0040] The second control unit is used to control the engine to run for a first duration at a second speed and a second load, run for a second duration at a low idle speed, and remain stopped for a third duration after obtaining the measured value corresponding to the first test parameter and determining that the first test power of the engine is less than or equal to the preset first rated power threshold of the engine, and to obtain the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter.

[0042] The matching unit is used to compare the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter with the theoretical values ​​of the preset general test condition parameters and the theoretical values ​​of the limiting specification parameters to obtain the engine deterioration test results.

[0043] Wherein, the first speed is the theoretical value of the engine's indicated speed, the first load is the measured value of the maximum cylinder pressure corresponding to the engine operating at the theoretical value of the indicated speed, the second speed is the theoretical value of the engine's maximum torque speed, the second load is the measured value of the maximum cylinder pressure corresponding to the engine operating at the theoretical value of the maximum torque speed, the third speed is the theoretical value of the speed at the inflection point of the engine's speed regulation curve, and the third load is the theoretical value of the maximum cylinder pressure corresponding to the theoretical value of the speed at the inflection point of the speed regulation curve.

[0044] Thirdly, the present invention also provides an electronic device for executing the program stored in the memory to implement the steps in an engine degradation test method as described in any of the above implementations.

[0045] Fourthly, the present invention also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a computer program capable of implementing the steps in an engine degradation test method according to any of the above implementations.

[0046] This invention provides an engine degradation test method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. S110: Control the engine to sequentially run at a first speed and a first load for a first duration, run at low idle speed for a second duration, and remain stopped for a third duration, and obtain the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameters. The low idle speed is the engine's idling speed without load. S120: After obtaining the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameters and determining that the engine's first test power is less than or equal to a preset engine first rated power threshold, control the engine to sequentially run at a second speed and a second load for a first duration, run at low idle speed for a second duration, and remain stopped for a third duration, and obtain the measured values ​​corresponding to the second test parameters.

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0057] This invention provides an engine degradation test method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium, which are described below.

[0058] Figure 1 A flowchart of an embodiment of an engine degradation test method provided by the present invention includes:

[0059] S110. Control the engine to run at a first speed and a first load for a first duration, run at a low idle speed for a second duration, and remain stopped for a third duration, and obtain the measured value corresponding to the first test parameter; the low idle speed is the engine speed when it is not under load; preferably, the first duration is 20 minutes, the second duration is 15 seconds, and the third duration is 9 minutes and 45 seconds, while controlling the engine to run at the first speed and the first load.

[0060] S120. After obtaining the measured value corresponding to the first test parameter and determining that the first test power of the engine is less than or equal to the preset first rated power threshold of the engine, the engine is controlled to run at the second speed and the second load for a first duration, run at low idle speed for a second duration, and remain stopped for a third duration, and the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter is obtained; preferably, the engine is controlled to run at the second speed and the second load at the same time.

[0061] S130. After obtaining the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter and determining that the second test power of the engine is less than or equal to the preset second rated power threshold of the engine, the engine is controlled to run at the third speed and the third load for a first duration, run at low idle speed for a second duration, and remain stopped for a third duration, and the measured value corresponding to the third test parameter is obtained; preferably, the engine is controlled to run at the third speed and the third load at the same time.

[0062] S140. The measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter are compared with the theoretical values ​​of the preset general test condition parameters and the theoretical values ​​of the limiting specification parameters to obtain the engine deterioration test results.

[0063] Wherein, the first speed is the theoretical value of the engine's indicated speed, the first load is the measured value of the maximum cylinder pressure corresponding to the engine operating at the theoretical value of the indicated speed, the second speed is the theoretical value of the engine's maximum torque speed, the second load is the measured value of the maximum cylinder pressure corresponding to the engine operating at the theoretical value of the maximum torque speed, the third speed is the theoretical value of the speed at the inflection point of the engine's speed regulation curve, and the third load is the theoretical value of the maximum cylinder pressure corresponding to the theoretical value of the speed at the inflection point of the speed regulation curve.

[0064] Understandably, given the current lack of a dedicated hot shutdown bench verification test method, this invention provides a three-stage hot shutdown degradation test method to evaluate the durability of an engine under extreme thermal and mechanical load conditions. This method primarily simulates actual end-user usage scenarios by controlling the engine to operate at high speed and high load in a corresponding stage followed by a hot shutdown for a period of time. The measured values ​​of the corresponding stage's high-speed, high-load operation are then compared with the theoretical values ​​of preset general test condition parameters and limiting specification parameters to obtain the engine degradation test results. Based on these results, the engine's durability under extreme thermal and mechanical load conditions is evaluated.

[0065] Furthermore,

[0066] The first test parameters include: theoretical values ​​of engine fuel consumption rate and theoretical values ​​of engine rated speed;

[0067] The first test parameters of the engine were determined through a specific embodiment, as shown in Table 1:

[0068] Table 1

[0069]

[0070] It is understandable that the engine is controlled to run for a first duration at a first speed and a first load, then run for a second duration at a low idle speed, and finally remain stopped for a third duration, and the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameters are obtained.

[0071] The second test parameters include: the theoretical value of engine fuel consumption rate and the theoretical value of engine maximum torque speed;

[0072] The second experimental parameters were determined through a specific embodiment, as shown in Table 2:

[0073] Table 2

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] It is understandable that after obtaining the measured value corresponding to the first test parameter, the engine is controlled to start, enter the first speed and the first load, and it is determined that the first test power of the engine is less than or equal to 5% of the preset first rated power of the engine. Then, the engine is controlled to run for a first time at the second speed and the second load, run for a second time at low idle speed, and remain stopped for a third time, and the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter is obtained.

[0077] The third test parameters include: theoretical values ​​of engine fuel consumption rate, theoretical values ​​of engine maximum cylinder pressure, and theoretical values ​​of engine speed.

[0078] The third test parameters of the engine were determined through a specific embodiment, as shown in Table 3:

[0079] Table 3

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] It is understandable that after obtaining the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter, the engine is controlled to start, enter the second speed and the second load, and it is determined that the second test power of the engine is less than or equal to the preset second rated power threshold of the engine. Then, the engine is controlled to run for a first time at the third speed and the third load, run for a second time at low idle speed, and remain stopped for a third time, and the measured value corresponding to the third test parameter is obtained.

[0083] Furthermore,

[0084] The first rated power of the engine is the engine's indicated rated power, and the value range of the engine's indicated rated power is [350, 400].

[0085] The second rated power of the engine is the maximum rated power of the engine, and the maximum rated power of the engine has a value range of [390, 400].

[0086] The third rated power of the engine is the rated power of the engine governor at the sudden change point, and the value range of the rated power of the engine governor at the sudden change point is [375, 380].

[0087] Furthermore,

[0088] Step S110 is executed repeatedly for n1 hours, where the value of n1 is in the range of [482, 500].

[0089] Step S120 is executed repeatedly for n2 hours, where the value of n2 is in the range of [482, 500].

[0090] Step S130 is executed repeatedly for n3 hours, where the value of n3 is in the range of [482, 500].

[0091] Specifically, step S110, which involves cyclically executing n1 hours, means firstly acquiring the first test parameters of the engine and simultaneously running it for a first duration at the first speed and the first load; secondly, controlling the engine to run at a low idle speed for a second duration; thirdly, controlling the engine to remain stopped for a third duration; and finally, acquiring the measured values ​​corresponding to the engine running at the first test parameters, and cyclically executing the aforementioned steps for n1 hours.

[0092] Step S120, which involves cyclically executing n2 hours, means that after obtaining the measured value corresponding to the first test parameter that has been cyclically executed for n1 hours and determining that the first test power of the engine is less than or equal to the preset first rated power threshold of the engine, the engine's second test parameter is first obtained and the engine is run for a first duration at the second speed and the second load. Then, the engine is controlled to run at a low idle speed for a second duration. Next, the engine is controlled to remain stopped for a third duration. Finally, the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter is obtained and the aforementioned steps are cyclically executed for n2 hours.

[0093] Step S130, which involves cyclically executing n3 hours, means that after obtaining the measured value corresponding to the second test parameter after cyclically executing n2 hours and determining that the second test power of the engine is less than or equal to the preset second rated power threshold of the engine, the engine's third test parameter is first obtained and the engine is run at the third speed and the third load for a first duration. Then, the engine is controlled to run at low idle speed for a second duration. Next, the engine is controlled to remain stopped for a third duration. Finally, the measured value corresponding to the third test parameter is obtained and the aforementioned steps are cyclically executed for n3 hours.

[0094] Understandably, this test involves a period of downtime after each stage of high-load operation. The test runs at different speeds and loads and includes hot shutdowns. The entire test lasts 1500 hours (including downtime) and consists of three distinct 500-hour periods, with a brief maintenance stop every 250 hours (recommended not to exceed 4 hours). The test process is continuous.

[0095] Figure 2 An engine torque curve diagram, provided by an embodiment of an engine degradation test method according to the present invention, includes:

[0096] Before S110, which controls the engine to run for a first duration at a first speed and a first load, to run for a second duration at a low idle speed, and to remain stopped for a third duration, further includes:

[0097] The engine is controlled to run without adding fuel until the engine oil pressure reaches a first preset value; preferably, the first preset value is 10 psi.

[0098] After fuel is added to the engine, the engine is controlled to run sequentially at low idle speed for a fourth time, at high idle speed for a fifth time, at low idle speed for a sixth time, at high idle speed for a seventh time, and at rated power for an eighth time; the high idle speed is the highest speed of the engine at maximum throttle and without load;

[0099] Control the engine to rotate backward until the engine's backward torque reaches a second preset value;

[0100] The engine is controlled to operate at maximum torque for a ninth duration; preferably, the ninth duration is 20 seconds.

[0101] The engine is rotated backward until the engine speed reaches a third preset value; preferably, the third preset value is 1000 rpm;

[0102] After controlling the engine speed to run at the third preset value for ten hours, it runs at low idle speed for eleven hours; preferably, the eleventh hour is 20 seconds.

[0103] The engine is controlled to stop; preferably, the fourth duration is 20 seconds; preferably, the fifth duration is 20 seconds; preferably, the sixth duration is 20 seconds; preferably, the seventh duration is 20 seconds; preferably, the eighth duration is 20 seconds; preferably, the third preset value is 1000 rpm, and the tenth duration is 20 seconds.

[0104] In a specific embodiment, the engine undergoes a break-in process by performing the following steps, as shown in Table 4:

[0105] Table 4

[0106]

[0107]

[0108] Understandably, before conducting engine degradation tests, the engine needs to undergo a break-in process, during which the engine power and torque are checked to ensure they meet the performance development target values.

[0109] Furthermore,

[0110] The measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter respectively include: measured values ​​of engine intake air temperature, engine intake resistance, engine coolant outlet temperature, engine exhaust pipe pressure, and engine fuel temperature.

[0111] The preset general test condition parameters include the following theoretical values: engine intake air temperature, which ranges from [22℃ to 28℃]; engine intake resistance, which ranges from [-4.7Kpa to -2.7Kpa]; engine coolant outlet temperature, which ranges from [99℃ to 131℃]; engine exhaust pressure, which ranges from [35.46 mm Hg to 40.54 mm Hg]; and engine fuel temperature, which ranges from [38℃ to 42℃].

[0112] The general test conditions for the engine, determined in conjunction with a specific embodiment, are shown in Table 5:

[0113] Table 5

[0114]

[0115]

[0116] It is understandable that the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter are compared with the theoretical values ​​of the preset general test condition parameters to obtain the engine degradation test results. The engine power and torque are checked to see if they meet the performance development target value requirements. The engine parts that are of particular concern in this test are: piston, piston ring, cylinder liner, camshaft, tappet, main bearing and connecting bearing, exhaust pipe, turbocharger, valve, valve seat, all gaskets, cylinder head, cylinder head gasket, and mechanical fuel pump connection device.

[0117] Furthermore,

[0118] The measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter respectively include: the measured value of the engine oil pressure at rated speed, the measured value of the engine cylinder coolant pressure at rated speed, the measured value of the engine coolant outlet temperature, the measured value of the engine turbine inlet temperature, the measured value of the engine intercooler temperature, and the measured value of the engine intercooler pressure variation.

[0119] The preset limiting parameters include: the theoretical value of engine oil pressure at rated speed, the theoretical value of engine cylinder coolant pressure at rated speed, the theoretical value of engine coolant outlet temperature, the theoretical value of engine turbine inlet temperature, the measured value of engine intercooler temperature, and the theoretical value of engine intercooler pressure variation.

[0120] The preset theoretical values ​​of the restriction parameters are respectively set with corresponding theoretical values ​​for warning restriction, interruption restriction, and emergency restriction.

[0121] The limiting specifications for the engine, as determined by a specific embodiment, are shown in Table 6:

[0122] Table 6

[0123]

[0124]

[0126] Understandably, the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter are compared with the theoretical values ​​of the preset limit parameters to obtain the engine degradation test results. If the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter exceed the theoretical values ​​of the warning limit parameters, attention is required. If the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter exceed the theoretical values ​​of the interruption limit parameters, the engine is controlled to run at low idle speed for 30 seconds and then stopped. If the measured values ​​corresponding to the first test parameter, the second test parameter, and the third test parameter exceed the theoretical values ​​of the emergency limit parameters, the engine is controlled to stop to prevent damage to parts.
