Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of compressor performance testing, and in particular relates to a compressor performance testing device with rapid and stable working conditions. Background Art
[0002] As the core component of the automobile air conditioning system, the performance and life of the automobile air conditioning compressor directly affect its use efficiency, and major automobile parts manufacturers are continuously increasing their R&D investment. Due to the particularity of automobile operation and use environment, the start-stop frequency, working conditions and speed variation of automobile air conditioning compressors are greater than those of household air conditioning compressors, so it is particularly important to test non-steady-state working conditions, variable speed and rapid performance.
[0003] At present, many scientific research institutions have special compressor durability test benches and performance test benches, but there are few studies on comprehensive multi-span test benches. The current mainstream performance test method is the second refrigerant calorimeter method, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it is the principle diagram of the performance test of the second refrigerant calorimeter method. When the second refrigerant calorimeter method is used for testing, due to the large space in the calorimeter tank cavity, the secondary refrigerant and the tank cavity space cause large thermal inertia, which will cause the compressor suction temperature to stabilize for too long; the compressor exhaust pressure is also controlled by adjusting the amount of cold and hot water in the condenser, and there will also be large thermal inertia. Therefore, when the second refrigerant method is used to test the performance, the working condition stability will generally be longer, and a complete test time may exceed two hours, which is not convenient for real-time tracking of compressor performance changes, and it is impossible to cope with non-steady-state working conditions and variable speed working conditions. With the further upgrading of the evaluation requirements of various air-conditioning accessories and automotive thermal management systems, the test process is required to be as comprehensive and objective as possible to reduce the possibility of human intervention, and at the same time, it is upgraded from the previous static evaluation to a dynamic working condition evaluation. However, due to the current level of the test equipment industry, many dynamic simulations and tests cannot be widely promoted due to technical and cost reasons.
[0004] The existing compressor performance testing device cannot dynamically simulate a variety of working conditions to test the compressor. The testing time is long and it is not convenient to understand the performance changes of the compressor when tested under different working conditions. Therefore, the present invention proposes a compressor performance testing device with fast and stable working conditions. Summary of the invention

[0012] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a mixer and a pressure regulating plate inside the mixer, and drives a driving gear to rotate through a stepping motor. Since the driving gear meshes with two racks up and down, the upper and lower racks move toward or oppositely during the rotation of the gears. In an initial state, all the pressure regulating plates are parallel to the horizontal plane. When the two racks move toward each other, they respectively drive several movable gears and connecting gears meshed therewith to rotate. Since some pressure regulating plates are connected to the movable gears, the pressure regulating plates connected to the movable gears directly drive the movable gears to rotate when the movable gears rotate, and the connecting gears are connected to the passive gears, and the passive gears are connected to a pressure regulating plate. The connecting gear drives the passive gears to rotate, and at the same time drives the pressure regulating plates to rotate. Therefore, the pressure regulating plates connected to the movable gears and the pressure regulating plates connected to the passive gears rotate in opposite directions. Finally, the pressure regulating plates form a tree-like structure. When liquid and gas enter the interior of the mixing box from an inlet at one end, the tree-like pressure regulating plate combination structure has an effect on the mixing box. The gas-liquid mixture is blocked to a certain extent, thereby slowing down the speed and time of the gas-liquid mixture flowing out from the outlet at the other end. When the opening angle of the pressure regulating plate combination with a tree-branch structure is larger, the resistance to the gas-liquid mixture is greater. After being blocked by the pressure regulating plate, the gas-liquid mixture stays longer in the mixing box and the degree of mixing is higher. When the expansion angle of the pressure regulating plate combination with a tree-branch structure is about small, or not expanded, the gas and liquid entering the mixing box from the inlet end have no structure to block them, so they can flow out of the outlet in a straight line at the fastest speed. Therefore, the degree of mixing of the gas-liquid mixture discharged from the outlet is worse at this time. This structure can adjust the mixing degree of the gas-liquid mixture to adapt to the test of the compressor under different working conditions. A small number of compressor tests need to be started with liquid. At this time, the mixing degree of the gas-liquid mixture needs to be reduced to complete the test. Therefore, this structure can expand the operating range of the compressor performance test and meet the compressor performance test under different working conditions.
[0013] The present invention sets a refrigerant component. When the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the outlet of the tested compressor, a part of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is directly poured into the mixing box through a tee, and the other part of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is condensed by a condenser to become liquid low-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant which enters the mixing box. The liquid refrigerant and the gaseous refrigerant are mixed. The mixing ratio can be adjusted by two regulating valves respectively, so as to meet the requirements of the test conditions, and the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant of the tested compressor are adjusted accordingly, thereby reducing the cost of the test equipment.
