[0032] The electric valve 7 is a device or apparatus capable of controlling the flow of detergent water.
[0033] Based on the above description, the present application provides a portable car washer performance test system, which integrates all components into a housing through a performance test housing 11, and the human-computer interaction module 2 is installed on the housing surface, which is convenient for users to operate and view test results. The control module 1 is respectively connected to the human-computer interaction module 2, the electronic flow meter 3, the electronic pressure gauge 4, the programmable power supply 5 (which can be adapted to different types of washers, with good versatility), the electric pressure regulating valve 6, and the electric valve 7, so that after the test parameters are determined by the human-computer interaction module 2, the electronic flow meter 3, the electronic pressure gauge 4, the programmable power supply 5 (which can be adapted to different types of washers, with good versatility), the electric pressure regulating valve 6, and the electric valve 7 can be controlled according to the test parameters.
[0034] As an example, when the test parameters are fixed pressure test parameters (scrubber voltage, discharge pressure, number of tests, single test time): The system can control the electric valve 7 to open and allow water to flow through the car washer 8 and control the supply voltage of the program-controlled power supply 5 to be consistent with the voltage of the washer according to the test parameters through the control module 1; read the signal of the electronic pressure gauge 4, and when the signal of the electronic pressure gauge 4 reaches the discharge pressure, the control module 1 controls the electric pressure regulating valve 6 to stop working, and at the same time, start the internal timer, and use the single test time as the interval to count the drainage data of the test times and time periods through the electronic flow meter 3, so as to effectively measure the timed cumulative flow of the tested washer under a certain specific pressure. The car washer 8 connected to the program-controlled power supply 5 realizes the supply of power to the car washer 8; the water outlet 10 of the car washer, the electric valve 7, the electronic flow meter 3, the electronic pressure gauge 4, and the electric pressure regulating valve 6 are connected through the water pipe, so as to realize the effective monitoring of the water pressure, drainage and other data of the water outlet, and the electric pressure regulating valve 6 is connected to the water inlet 9 of the car washer through the pipeline, so as to realize the recycling of water resources and avoid the waste of water resources.
[0035] As an example 2, when the test parameters are strength performance test parameters (scrubber voltage, discharge pressure, number of tests, single test time): The system can close the electric valve 7 through the control module 1, and at the same time control the program-controlled power supply 5 to supply power to the car washer 8 according to the washer voltage; at the same time, the internal timer starts timing, and when the timer accumulates to the single blockage time, the program-controlled power supply 5 stops supplying power and the internal counter increases by 1, and then the timer restarts timing, and when the timer accumulates to the blockage interval, the program-controlled power supply 5 starts to supply power to the washer and the internal timer restarts timing until the single blockage time, and the cycle continues until the internal counter accumulates to the number of blockages; then, the control module 1 opens the electric valve 7, the program-controlled power supply 5 starts to supply power to the washer, gradually reduces the electric pressure regulating valve 6 according to the preset amplitude, and reads the signal of the electronic pressure gauge 4. When the signal of the electronic pressure gauge 4 reaches the discharge pressure, the control module 1 controls the electric pressure regulating valve 6 to stop working, and at the same time, starts the internal timer, and uses the single test time as the interval to count the drainage data of the test times and the single test time through the electronic flow meter 3.
[0036] In addition, the embodiment provides a method for testing the performance of a portable car washer, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application mainly includes the following steps: Step 210: The control module obtains test parameters through the human-computer interaction module.
[0037] It should be noted that the test parameters are at least divided into fixed pressure test parameters and strength performance test parameters.
[0038] In some embodiments, the control module obtains the test parameters through the human-computer interaction module, which may be: The human-computer interaction module obtains the test parameters through a preset touch display screen; and sends the test parameters to the control module through electrical signals.

[0040] Step 220: The control module controls the operation of the electric valve, the programmable power supply, the electric pressure regulating valve, and the internal timer according to the test parameters and the signal from the electronic pressure gauge.
[0041] This step can be specifically as follows: The fixed pressure test parameters at least include the washer voltage, the discharge pressure, the number of tests, and the single test time. When the test parameters are the fixed pressure test parameters, the control module controls the electric valve to open according to the test parameters to allow water to flow through the car washer; at the same time, the programmable power supply is controlled to supply power to the car washer according to the washer voltage; the electric pressure regulating valve is gradually reduced according to the preset amplitude, and the signal of the electronic pressure gauge is read. When the signal of the electronic pressure gauge reaches the discharge pressure, the control module controls the electric pressure regulating valve to stop working. At the same time, the internal timer is started, and the drainage data of the number of tests and the single test time are counted through the electronic flow meter with the single test time as the interval.
[0042] In addition, this step can be specifically as follows: When the test parameter is a strength performance test parameter, the control module closes the electric valve and controls the programmable power supply to supply power to the car washer according to the washer voltage; at the same time, the internal timer starts timing, and when the timer accumulates to the single blockage time, the programmable power supply stops supplying power and the internal counter increases by 1, and then the timer restarts timing, and when the timer accumulates to the blockage interval, the programmable power supply starts to supply power to the washer and the internal timer restarts timing until the single blockage time, and the cycle continues until the internal counter accumulates to the number of blockages; then, the control module opens the electric valve, the programmable power supply starts to supply power to the washer, and gradually reduces the electric pressure regulating valve according to the preset amplitude, and reads the signal of the electronic pressure gauge. When the signal of the electronic pressure gauge reaches the discharge pressure, the control module controls the electric pressure regulating valve to stop working, and at the same time, starts the internal timer, and uses the electronic flow meter to count the drainage data of the test times and the single test time, with the single test time as the interval.
