[0038] It should be noted that the installation positions of the fuel accessories of most existing engines are designed during the design of the aircraft or the engine, and most of them are directly installed on the engine, that is, the test bench design does not need to consider the installation mode of the fuel accessories. The engine itself has no accessory installation position, so during ground test, the installation mode of the accessories needs to be redesigned during the design of the test bench, and the control logic is considered to simulate the running environment of the engine.

The accessory trolley is convenient to move, and the space of the test bench itself is small, so the accessory trolley 1 can be moved to a designated position for placement under the condition of no test, so as to meet the requirements of safety and tidiness. At the same time, the accessory trolley can be used for other same type aero-engine test benches, so as to achieve the purpose of one trolley for all. In addition, the system of the application is not only suitable for the fuel system of the test bench with separated accessories and aero-engine, but also can be applied to other test bench systems, such as the external lubricating oil system and the external oil seal system, so as to have good application value.

When the accessory trolley 1 needs to be moved, the lifting plate assembly is lowered by the adjusting assembly 3 to contact the ground to support the accessory trolley 1, and at this time the accessory trolley 1 can be easily moved through the roller 21, which greatly expands the functionality of the accessory trolley 1 and improves its use convenience, especially the stability and safety when stationary.

[0051] It can be understood that the operator can drive the rotating shaft 31 and the rotating gear 32 to rotate by rotating the hand wheel 34, and drive the rack 221 and the first lifting piece 22 to lift by rotating the rotating gear 32, and since the first lifting piece 22 is connected with the second lifting piece 23 through the connecting rod 24, synchronous lifting can be realized, thereby driving each roller 21 to lift and realizing different function conversion of the accessory trolley 1.
[0052] It should be noted that the hand wheel 34 can be locked by inserting the pin into the insertion hole of the side wall 11 of the trolley, or the hand wheel 34 can also be locked by tightening the hand wheel 34 with a strap.

The test bench can control the fuel accessories of the engine, such as supplying power and controlling the opening degree of the valve, and give reasonable control signals during testing. The test bench and the engine controller jointly control the accessories of the engine, so as to achieve the testing purpose.
