[0038] To better illustrate the present invention and facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present invention, typical but non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0039] This embodiment provides a jet fuel filter element diversion effect test device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the diversion effect testing device comprises:

[0040] A first pump 100, a first valve 200, a flow monitoring device 300, a test unit 400 and a second valve 500 connected in sequence;

[0041] The second valve 500 is connected to the pump via a liquid storage device 700;

[0042] The pump and the first valve 200 are connected to the second valve 500 via a branch line;

[0043] An impurity injection unit is provided between the first valve 200 and the flow monitoring device 300;

[0044] The test unit 400 includes a tube body 410, and at least one filter element 420 is disposed in the tube body 410;

[0045] The filter element 420 is independently configured with at least one pressure sensor group 430 and at least one flow meter 440;

[0046] The liquid inlet and outlet ends of the test unit 400 are each provided with at least one pressure sensor 450;

[0047] The tube body 410 is provided with a liquid discharge end 461 .

[0048] In the present invention, a filter element 420 is disposed in the tube body 410 of the test unit 400, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown; a schematic diagram of a plurality of filter elements 420 such as two filter elements 410 are provided in the tube body 400 of the test unit, as shown Figure 3 shown.

[0049] In the present invention, the pressure sensor group 430 and the flow meter 440 configured on the filter element 420 are set at the corresponding position of the filter element 420 according to the detection requirements. If only the pressure and flow rate at one position need to be detected, the pressure sensor group 430 and the flow meter 440 can be set at the corresponding position. If the pressure and flow rate at multiple positions need to be detected, such as the head end, middle part, and end of the filter element 420, multiple pressure sensor groups 430 and flow meters 440 are set at the corresponding multiple positions.

[0050] Among them, the pressure sensor group 430 includes a first pressure sensor relatively arranged inside the filter element 420 and a second pressure sensor outside the filter element 420, that is, pressure sensors are respectively arranged inside and outside the same position of the filter element 420 to detect the pressure difference at the corresponding position of the filter element 420.

[0051] The head end refers to the position corresponding to the jet fuel flowing into the filter element 420 or flowing out of the filter element 420, and the position corresponding to the head end is the end end.

[0052] Furthermore, the filter element 420 can be connected through a slot and a head of a test unit. Different models and quantities of filter elements 420 can be replaced with different heads. The inlet pipe of the test unit is connected to the internal cavity of the filter element 420. The tail end of the filter element 420 can be optionally sealed with an end cap or a filter layer seal.

[0053] The impurity injection unit includes an impurity storage device 610, a second pump 620 and a third valve 630 which are connected in sequence.

[0054] In the present invention, impurities such as solid particles and / or liquid impurities such as water are injected into the filter element 420 of the test unit 400 through the impurity injection unit, thereby simulating the filtering object and ensuring the performance of the actual filtering effect.

[0055] The third valve 630 is connected to the pipeline between the first valve 200 and the flow monitoring device 300 through a pipeline.

[0056] Wherein, a fourth valve 800 is arranged on the branch line.

[0057] In the present invention, through the design of the branch road and with the help of the opening and closing of the fourth valve 800 on the branch road, when it is necessary to replace the filter element 420 or to perform maintenance on the test device, the first valve 200 and the second valve 500 can be closed to disconnect the test device passage, and the fourth valve 800 can be opened to maintain the circulation connection, thereby achieving the replacement of the test filter element 420 and the maintenance and repair of the device without stopping the machine.

[0058] The liquid discharge end 461 is provided with a fifth valve 462 .

[0059] In the present invention, by configuring the fifth valve 462, when the filtering amount of impurities such as water, particles, etc. exceeds the limit, the impurities deposited at the bottom of the test unit 400 can be discharged.

[0060] The pressure sensor group 430 , the pressure sensor 450 and the flow meter 440 are all connected to the host computer 900 .

[0061] In the present invention, the connection between the pressure sensor group 430 , the pressure sensor 450 , and the flow meter 440 and the host computer 900 is achieved through the cable 470 .

[0062] In the present invention, optionally, the inlet and outlet pipes of the head of the test unit can be respectively provided with channels for the cable 470, which are elongated hollow structures; the pressure sensors can be selectively respectively provided in the internal cavity of the test device and each filter element 420 to monitor the internal pressure changes; the pressure sensors are arranged at intervals in the filter element 420, and the positions of the filter element 420 where the pressure sensors are provided are sealed both inside and outside;

[0063] Furthermore, the seal between the cable channel and the cable 470 may be formed by deforming an elastic material, or by using a solidifying liquid glue to meet the requirement of the internal and external pressure difference for static sealing.

[0064] In the present invention, flow meters 440 may be optionally provided at different positions of each filter element 420 to monitor the flow rate at different positions, and the flow rate may be fed back to the host computer 900 for monitoring the uniformity of the flow rate.

[0065] In the present invention, with the help of the results of the pressure sensor, flow meter 440 and flow monitoring device 300, the host computer 900 is used to monitor and control the flow and pressure changes required during the test process, so that the filtering performance of the filter element 420 is analyzed online in real time.

[0066] In the present invention, the first valve 200, the second valve 500, the third valve 630, the fourth valve 800 and the fifth valve 462 used can be optionally configured as electric control valves or manual valves; when manual valves are used, the opening and closing of the system is manually performed, and when electric control valves are used, the electric control valves can be connected to the host computer 900, and the opening and closing of the valves can be controlled by the host computer 900, thereby realizing automatic control of the detection device.

[0067] Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for testing the flow separation effect of a jet fuel filter element 420, the flow separation effect testing method comprising:

[0068] Jet fuel and impurities are injected into the test unit 400 , and the pressure drop and flow rate of the test unit 400 are monitored simultaneously, so as to analyze the filtering performance of the filter element 420 .

[0069] The injecting of the jet fuel and impurities into the test unit 400 includes: adjusting the first valve 200 , the second valve 500 and the third valve 630 to an open state, adjusting the fourth valve 800 and the fifth valve 462 to a closed state, and starting the first pump 100 and the second pump 620 .

[0070] In the diversion test effect method, when the filtering amount of impurities in the test liquid in the test unit 400 reaches a limit, the fifth valve 462 is opened to discharge the liquid.

[0071] When the test unit 400 replaces or performs maintenance on the filter element 420 , the first valve 200 , the second valve 500 , the third valve 630 , and the fifth valve 462 are closed, and the fourth valve 800 is opened.
