Description

Technical Field

[0002] The automobile radiator consists of three parts: the water inlet chamber, the water outlet chamber and the radiator core. The coolant flows in the radiator core, and the air passes outside the radiator. The hot coolant cools down due to the heat dissipation to the air, and the cold air heats up due to the absorption of the heat dissipated by the coolant. The radiator is an indispensable and important component in the cooling system of the automobile water-cooled engine. In the actual use of the automobile radiator, because its interior is in a high temperature, high pressure and flowing state, and the exterior is subjected to vibration and impact loads in all directions, the radiator vibration test has become an important test item that all manufacturers must conduct during the research and development process. At present, automobile manufacturers and parts companies all use QC / T 468-2010 "Automobile Radiator".

Based on the current status of vibration testing, it cannot simulate the actual operation of the car, and it takes a long time and has low work efficiency. Therefore, in order to provide a radiator vibration test that can simulate high temperature and high pressure working conditions, a vibration test system that can simulate the actual working conditions of the car radiator is provided to solve the problem that the existing vibration test cannot simulate the cooling effect of the coolant under high temperature, flowing and high pressure working conditions, so as to meet the actual use needs.

[0020] Furthermore, a circulation system for automobile radiator vibration test described in this embodiment is adopted, and a delivery electromagnetic ball valve 10, a pressure gauge 11, a flow sensor 12 and a temperature transmitter 13 are installed in the delivery pipeline.

Example 2

[0022] This embodiment is based on the embodiment 1. In order to allow the coolant in the cooling system to flow back to the liquid supply system, a bypass pipeline is further provided between the liquid supply system and the cooling system. The input end of the bypass pipeline is connected to the delivery pipeline, and the output end thereof is connected to the liquid storage tank. A bypass electromagnetic ball valve 9 is installed in the bypass pipeline, and the bypass electromagnetic ball valve 9 is electrically connected to the electrical control unit. Through the bypass pipeline provided and the bypass electromagnetic ball valve 9 installed in the bypass pipeline, the opening state of the bypass electromagnetic ball valve 9 is controlled by the controller, so that the coolant in the heat sink 7 can be returned to the liquid storage tank 3, so as to realize the recycling of the coolant.

[0023] The circulation system of the present invention has the following working principle: through the configured electrical control unit, the circulation system is first connected to the AC 220V power supply, and then the circuit breaker is closed. After the AC / DC power supply of the power converter is powered, the controller is powered. In the display screen interface of the controller, the required test temperature of the coolant is set according to the test requirements. Under the action of the controller, the automatic operation function is turned on. At this time, the heater 4 in the liquid storage tank 3 starts to work, and then the centrifugal pump 6 is started to make the water pump start working. When the temperature reaches the set temperature, the heater 4 automatically stops working, and when it is lower than the set temperature, the heater 4 automatically starts. When the temperature is higher than the set value, the fan 8 starts working, and when the temperature drops to the set value, the fan 8 stops working. The heater 4 in the liquid storage tank 3 and the fan 8 in the heat sink 7 are controlled by the controller, and the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor are respectively used to detect the coolant temperature in the liquid storage tank 3 and the heat sink 7, so that the circulation system can always keep the coolant temperature of the circulation system within the set value range, and its maximum floating value is less than 0.2°C, so that more accurate control of the coolant temperature can be achieved. It can be seen that, in combination with the actual working conditions of the radiator, the temperature of the coolant is controlled by the control program through the configured pressure gauge 11, flow sensor 12 and temperature transmitter 13, and the flow rate of the coolant is controlled by the delivery electromagnetic ball valve 10. In this way, the temperature and pressure of the coolant delivered to the test radiator 2 can be stably maintained at the set working parameter point, so that the radiator vibration test can be carried out under different parameter conditions, thereby obtaining test results that are more in line with actual working conditions.

[0024] In summary, by adopting the circulation system described in the present invention, by adding an external circulation system and utilizing an electrical control unit to control the liquid supply unit, by controlling the temperature, pressure and flow parameters of the coolant, it is possible to simulate high temperature and high pressure working conditions, so that the radiator vibration test can be carried out under different parameter conditions, thereby obtaining test results that are more in line with actual working conditions, providing more accurate data for improving the reliability design of the radiator, so as to meet the actual use needs of the radiator, having great practical significance, and being suitable for popularization and application.
